We had they 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: kind of walked through in the beginning as far as 6 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: going through some different adjustments doing as a team. Both 7 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: guys were active in that the terms move around the trainers. 8 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: From all of our understanding, it was a positive day. 9 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: You know, I should leading to you know, their opportunity 10 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 1: to keep on progression with the team, you know the 11 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: good things. We have a little bit flex time. It's 12 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: a money night game coming out of the bye. They're 13 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: gonna have the remainder of this week to work with 14 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: us early next week in the way the schedule flow, 15 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: will have time to kind of build these guys up 16 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: and rest them. So we're optimistic about it. We'll see 17 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: how it comes out of the bye. I went happened 18 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: with Sam Bielle. We saw him out here. It looked 19 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: like he left and obviously you got cut like later 20 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: in the day, you get cut that and what would 21 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: happened with him? We released some you know, probably the 22 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 1: waiver wire being released, so that wasn't he didn't get 23 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: cut off the field. No, there was no moves personnel 24 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: wise made on the field yesterday. No. That what what 25 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: is se Kwan's injury? Is it in an ankle sprain. 26 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go in the exact specifics of it. 27 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously this guy's dealing with you know, he's 28 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: come all the significant injury last year. He had the ankle, 29 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: you know, coming out of Dallas where he stepped on 30 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: the guy's foot and rolled it, and uh, you know, 31 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna make sure that he's ready to go full 32 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: speed and stay on the field when he gets it. 33 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: Did he have any kind of setback during the rehab 34 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: process over the last month. No, I wouldn't say there's 35 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: been anything setback from anything that's you know, directly happened. 36 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes he's seen a sale time. You know, 37 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: everybody's body is different, Every injury is different. So that's 38 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: why I'm slow time to say it's it's this kind 39 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: of an injury because someone they want to diagnose and say, 40 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: oh that's a two or three week injury, that's a 41 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: four or six week injury. Everybody is different and every 42 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: injury is different. We gotta give everyone, you know, the 43 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: timetable on their own body to come back. He'll play 44 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: effectively at any update on Booker's hip. We didn't see 45 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: him out here. He saw the doctor. Jess will be 46 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: out here today to do the first part of practice 47 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: with us. You know, we'll kind of take the rest 48 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: of this week, you know, as far as him rehabbing 49 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: with the trainers against some treatment. We'll see where it 50 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: looks next week going into it. When you want, um 51 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: decide to book guys on I R or not, you know, 52 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: obviously it's a three week window. Um. You know, a 53 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: guy like sake one, so he you know you didn't 54 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: put him on and he um, you know he went 55 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: longer than you guys anticipately. So do you go look 56 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: back on all these things and then say, okay, let's 57 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: see what what did we figure? You know, where do 58 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: we either go wrong or did something change? You know 59 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I mean, do you kind of self 60 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: analyze because you know, looking back, you'd rather have him 61 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: on excuse me, have him on i R if you 62 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: know he's not gonna be here from much right, So 63 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: we discuss everything we do in this organization. You know, 64 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: we have to make the best decisions that we can 65 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: make with the information we have, you know, present to 66 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: us at that moment. You know, so a lot of 67 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: these guys that we choose not to put on I 68 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: arts because based on the information, there's a chance they 69 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: can come back before that window. And you know it's 70 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: not always absolute, but you want to leave certain guys 71 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: open within certain time frames you able to get them back. 72 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: Other times, there's an injury where you say, hey, look, 73 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: we know this's gonna absolutely be within that three game window, 74 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: or we know that even if he's a little before 75 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: that window, they may need the extra time to get back, 76 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: and there maybe another roster moved the hinges on, you know, 77 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: that spot being available. He hasn't had any issues of 78 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: this knee, has he the one that he got repaired. Again, 79 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep everybody's medical information kind a little more 80 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: in house. But in terms of what Pat asked earlier 81 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,839 Speaker 1: about setbacks injuries, you know we had any sent backs. 82 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: What about Carter and Schep moving forward? Uh? Yes, so 83 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: Carter was out here. Yes, they move around to trainers again. 84 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: He's kind of the the same boat as Andrew and Sa Kwan. 85 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: I think chef right now is in a little bit 86 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: different of a timetable in terms of, you know, just 87 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: how we're gonna manage his body throughout the week, but 88 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: he's in the same plan terms of being with the trainers, 89 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: has a little flex time. You know a lot of 90 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: these guys that we're gonna really get them as much 91 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: rest as we can. You know, somebody gouts, say Kwan 92 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: z Oh Andrew, Yes, they was a good day to 93 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: kind of test the waters, get him out of getting 94 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: back moving. For Sa Kwan, it was important because he 95 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: missed time last week with the COVID stuffing now the building, 96 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: so everyone's on a little bit time track right there. 97 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: For Shef, you know, he's part of you know, this 98 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: group of some other guys that we're gonna kind of 99 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: let them have this week to really get their body 100 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: back as much as possible. Rest is good for these 101 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: guys are still treatment and rehab they're doing internally in 102 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: the house, but you know, in terms of them on 103 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: the field, they'll be a little bit different than everybody 104 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: else's week. A couple of players have said Pat Graham, 105 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, simplified things a little 106 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: bit recently on the defense, how have you seen that 107 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: And is that play to a guy like Xavier McKinney 108 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: strengths where he can just kind of trust his instincts 109 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: like he did on that second pack. Well, first, I'll 110 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: say about Zay directly. Za is extremely intelligent. So in 111 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: terms of simplification helping him, uh Jay is very capable 112 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: back there's a signal caller and operating all types of multiples. 113 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: You know, in terms of simplifying the defense, I don't 114 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 1: think we brought anything down to uh an elementary level, 115 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: but we've been more selective in terms of game planning 116 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: what we're looking to be scaled back. It's the right. Yeah, 117 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: We've looked to do some things to help the players, 118 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: and I think Pat and staff done a good job 119 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: of that, and the player has done a great job 120 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: for paring execute practices. For Isaiah Wilson to have the 121 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: kind of the really hands on work with the coaches, 122 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: I think they're huge. I think they're big for every 123 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: player that's out here and involved in. As I've explained 124 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,799 Speaker 1: to these players before, you know, this is not a punishment. 125 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: You're out here because we're trying to get you extra 126 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: work and development. Because we're counting on every player out 127 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: here to contribute, produce and help us win games this year. 128 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: You know, for a guy specifically, Isai has been making 129 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: progress for us. He had some really good work yessay 130 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: and the one on ones against the defensive line and 131 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: defensive rush. Get extra work at some of the you know, schematics, 132 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: and just that we can take it back to the 133 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: really like a base level with a lot of these guys. Yeah, 134 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: because you're getting a different points in the year. It's 135 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: good to almost go back and reset and start it 136 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: back over like it's o t a s or training. 137 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: Came a lot of these younger guys and make sure 138 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: they get every detail of the install on the way up. 139 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: You know, when guys come in, you get them the information, 140 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: you get them the installed. But as good as a 141 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: group to all here it again together for the first 142 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: not for the first time, but like it's the first time. 143 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: And where is he at? Is he a guy that 144 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: could progress to helping you guys on Sundays this year? 145 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: I seem more of a long term projection. Well, I 146 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: think we have long term plans for this guy in 147 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: terms where we see this guy being help you know, 148 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: in the future However, in terms of this year, he's 149 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: made a lot of progress and if the situation rise 150 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: and the opportunity comes up, we're getting ready to go 151 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: ahead and help us. Joe, Well, it was so much 152 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: upheaval with the offensive line early in the season. You know, 153 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: guys going down pretty much every week up now. Andrew 154 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: will come back at some point, but I'm interested in 155 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: the interior guys. You know that looks like it's your group. 156 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: You know, you've had that same starting group for a 157 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: while now. Is that when you look at those three guys, 158 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: are they you know, are they good enough? And and 159 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: and you know the fact that you know they're gonna 160 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: be there, you know, can you kind of go into 161 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: the second half and kind of game plan around them 162 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: to their strengths and weaknesses like you've been doing and 163 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 1: you know, because that's not the group that you thought 164 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: would be there at the start of the year. Obviously, Well, 165 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: this is a leagual change. There's always changing on the 166 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: roster at the year, and that's on every team, not 167 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: just us. We're not unique to that. And we've been 168 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: able to acquire some linemen, you know, whether it's at 169 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: the fifty three cut and get some guys who different circumstances, 170 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: and I really like the way those guys are working 171 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: to come together as a unit thing. Rob Freddie flats, 172 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: You know, Ben do a really good job working the 173 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: offensive line and getting these guys moltening. Jason and staff 174 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: doing a good job in terms of playing to all 175 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: of our players strengths right now as a team and 176 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: finding out you know, you go through the spring and 177 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: what you want to install, you go through training camp, 178 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: but what you want to have as a playbook, and 179 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: then you get in the season and you really find 180 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: out what your identity is going to be and how 181 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 1: you play best as a team. I think we're playing 182 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: our best ball and improving as a team going forward 183 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: every week. We have to keep on doing it's gonna 184 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: be pouring down the stretch. But in terms of the 185 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,119 Speaker 1: offensive line specifically, seeing those guys improve a lot throughout 186 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: this year, and we need these guys keep on improving 187 00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: as a group because it's gonna get tougher and to 188 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: down a stretch. The interior guys, the three interior guys, 189 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: what would you say their characteristics are? You know, as 190 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: as a group, you know, you know you build, you 191 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: know you built it with Gates and with the Mew. 192 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: You know, with n Andes there, you know two of 193 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: those three are not there. So with this three group, 194 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: what would you say? You know that a bunch of 195 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: grinders are the tough guys? Are they? I think anybody 196 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: who plays in the interior of the offensive line is 197 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: a greedy guy. You know that that's really a praiseless place. 198 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: It's a place where you're obviously seen a lot of 199 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: contact and dirty work throughout the game every week. I 200 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: think these guys do a very good job of coming 201 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: out and then also building in their flexibility. You know 202 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: Ben's work both sides of the guards. He worked at 203 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: center West has done the same thing. You know, you 204 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: look at Scare he goes back and forth with us 205 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: between you know, right guard, left guard, and center throughout practice. 206 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: So we're always building that versatility in there and make 207 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: sure these guys are always prepared for emergency situation as well. 208 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: Each one of these guys to be able to play 209 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: tackle as well in case something were to happen. You know, 210 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: we've been taking three tackles of the game. You know 211 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: that means you're two plays away from someone from the 212 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: inside going to the outside, so working through those situations scenarios. 213 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: But I like the way these guys come to work 214 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: every day and you know that that unit's really a unit. 215 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: You know, the offensive line, and most buildings you kind 216 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: of see them flocked together and travel together. These guys 217 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: are really bonded. They've done a good job of, you know, 218 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: fighting through a lot of things and playing and improving 219 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: on a weekly basis. They're tough and it's a smart group, 220 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: and it's a group that you know, we gotta keep 221 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: councing and getting better like all of our players every 222 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: week and on down the goals that have the best 223 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: offense line we can have in the year. Sorry, how 224 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: how valuable or I should say, how much growth have 225 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: you seen from Aaron Robbins in the last couple of weeks. 226 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: I mean he's a guy who you know, spent months 227 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: with the training staff. Essentially, uh gets thrown right in 228 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: and kind of has to feel his way through. But 229 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: the last this, yesterday, today, and really what you've been 230 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: able to do, I would imagine you're you're seeing where 231 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: he is at as far as the progress he's shown 232 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: compared to what you anticipated maybe back in May and 233 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: drew well every repeat gains on defense or special teams 234 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: through practicing games is very, very valuable for him because 235 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: he hasn't had any yet. Right, So your first snaps 236 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: being on Monday night and narrowhead, that's not an easy 237 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: situation for rookie to step into and go ahead and 238 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: just jump in. And we understand on the front end 239 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: that it's not gonna be perfect, and we have to 240 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: make sure he understands that. Look, we're not gonna accept 241 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: it not being perfect wording to coach you to get 242 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: it right. However, we also understand where you're at as 243 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: a player in your career, and it's about your development 244 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: and progression as a player. So he got a lot 245 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: better from week one to week two. We saw a 246 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 1: lot of improvement just technique wise on the field. Uh, 247 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: he looked good yesterday and practice some of the one 248 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: on one stuff. He's gonna keep on improvement. But I 249 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 1: love the way this guy works. He's very intelligents a 250 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: good communicator. He's very tough, but he comes out he's 251 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: a very locked in, a focused guy comes out and 252 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: he works to get better every day and you're gonna 253 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: see that continuously throughout his career. Year. We see Uh, 254 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: you know throughout the league, guys getting trouble during the 255 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: bye week. What's your message to your players. Yeah, we 256 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: talked about this morning, just make the right decisions. Talk 257 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: about a few of the instance has happened this year 258 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: and last year around the league. You know, look, it's 259 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: it's natural for a lot of guys kind of let 260 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: their hair down this time of year. You get a 261 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: few days off, you step away from a stressial situation 262 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: for a couple of days, you kick back. You got 263 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: to make sure that you put yourself in the right 264 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: surrounding you make the right decision. So we talked very 265 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: opening with our players about making the right decision before 266 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: they get out here again. Today or reminded me of 267 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: the same thing. So it's good for guys to refresh physically, 268 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: refresh mentally, come back, you know, ready to go. But 269 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: within that time, you know, we're not exempt to consequences 270 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: and we're not exempt from tragedy, so we have to 271 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: understand that and make the right decisions.
