<v Speaker 1>All Sean may start the season on the list. Can

0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:06.720
<v Speaker 1>you comment on the validity? You know what we didn't. Um,

0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to comment on it because you know,

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>we're we're still obviously we're just uh um, we're monitoring

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>his progress. Um. You know it's day to day. We're

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>happy where he's at, and uh, well we'll continue to

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>do that. But I'm not sure where that came from. Um,

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Nelson has Uh he's got a little lower body needs

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a little rest on it. So, um, we're gonna give

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>him that rest again, um and get him ready for

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:38.160
<v Speaker 1>week one. I just said week one. Yeah, let's see.

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 1>You don't even pay attention. So you're getting ready for

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>timetable then Corey. Oh, same thing, same thing, same thing,

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>lower body, Just giving him, give him day to day

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>some rest, much much needed. And uh, he's one of

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>those guys. Both of those guys you know, also play

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>special teams. So right now, just want I want to

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>make sure they're healthy for a week one day. I

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>do I do expect him to get in the game

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and for how long I don't know, um, but I

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>do expect him to get you know, a few few

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>players in this game. So I'm pretty much out of

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 1>jama How tough this guy, Well, it is tough. Um,

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's tough from the standpoint you're not obviously you're

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>not getting the practice reps you need, and and obviously

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the game the game reps and uh being being exposed

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.119
<v Speaker 1>to uh you know, not only our roster, but thirty

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>one other teams who are watching our game. So you know,

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>it's it's uh, each day is a little bit of

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>a missed opportunity. But uh, he's got to get himself

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>healthy and and um uh try to get himself as

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>back back here as soon as he can. Knows disappeared

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>at some point, but I'm practice out and see what

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>happened to him that I gotta talk to Drom and

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the guys after we're done here and find out exactly

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>what we're worry pretty late, pretty late in the procession.

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Like you got a little bit of stumbles in the beginning,

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.239
<v Speaker 1>but that's it. What have you seen the group? Yeah,

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Kamar has really done a nice job. Again. This is

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>a guy that's, you know, kind of a bigger receiver

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.359
<v Speaker 1>little he's physical, he's smart. Uh, he's a really good

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>route runner, UM strong to the ball all the things

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you want. Um has done a nice job. You know,

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.359
<v Speaker 1>he's he's come in and and uh he's accepted the role,

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>whether it's you know, mixing with the first unit or

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the second unit. Uh, and UM, you know, excited to

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>see where he's at. You know in a couple of weeks.

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to think it's just not enough reps

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>to go around. You've been here, what pre twenty eleven,

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>how different calls to get those reps pretty Uh, it's

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>it's a fine line. It's hard, um, but but you know,

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>because you're trying to get your starters ready for you know,

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>opening day and obviously the preseason games. But you know,

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you also get into camp, there's a lot of throws

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>to go around in individual work, uh, some of the

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>even some of the uh team stuff. So we try

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>to spread it out as much as we can to

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 1>give everybody some opportunities, whether whether we're servicing the defense

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.359
<v Speaker 1>like we did today and he got some snaps in there,

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>or actually taking taking some offensive reps, which he also did. Um,

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>we just got to continue to sprinkle him in and

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 1>and see where he's asking what he knows, and uh,

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>it just alleviates all the pressure on everybody's arm, especially

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>at this time of camp when when when they've had

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of throws that things will be reevaluating with him.

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Curious what kind of goes into that, you know, it's

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>this kind of a significant moment, that term being you know,

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>what's what's next. Yeah, we'll sit down after this game obviously,

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and and uh get together with our medical team, you know,

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>doctor Dodson and Drome and and well we'll discuss. We'll

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>discuss the next step you know, in his in his progression,

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>and um uh, you know, I'm excited to see where

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>he's at health wise. He's done a nice job out

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>here already, you know, in these last couple of weeks.

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>So um, I'll be I'll be curious to see where

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 1>where it goes from here. Having quarterbacks during the preseason, teams,

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of quarterbacks out reform to starters. Yes, yeah,

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I think, I mean, you know, I can't speak for

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>other teams and how they do things, but um, I

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>feel it's important that that the starter still maintains timing

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>and rhythm and just just getting in the game action,

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:47.119
<v Speaker 1>getting in that environment with crowd noise. Another team games

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>a little faster, uh, and just staying sharp, you know,

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>from from a you know, the quarterbacks perspective. So that's

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>what we try to do with our guys, you know,

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 1>our starters, uh here um, and so I do think

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>it's important that that our guys do play leading up

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>to week one. Person to be in eleven eleven out

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>here to be ready for a week one. I mean

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I think if if you're if you're hypothetically which you

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>know you know me, I don't get into hypotheticals. Um,

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think that you would want at least

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>obviously a full week, you know, a full week of preparation.

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 1>You would love to have more. Uh. And those are

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>things will evaluate, uh come this weekend on the radio scord.

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>He think it's going to be close or not? I mean,

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I I you know again, I'm gonna I'm gonna take

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>it day by day. I'm gonna evaluate it this weekend.

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna see where he's at. Uh Medically, I'm gonna

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 1>see where he's at because I'm gonna trust our doctors

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, we'll make a decision at some point.

0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:06.279
<v Speaker 1>Receivers times second, guys, what's the challenge rhythm, Well, that's

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>the challenge. I mean, you're just missing the timing, you're

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>missing the rhythm, you're missing you know, big play capabilities

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>potentially in these games. And you know, even though starters

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 1>don't play a whole lot, you know in the first

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 1>couple of games, UM, it's just still valuable rep So, um,

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>something we got to work through obviously, you know, get

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 1>get our get our twos and even some of the

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>threes ready to go and and in case, in case

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:34.799
<v Speaker 1>we need them. I expect Brandon Graham to uh continue

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>his uh you know, his rehab, his uh, his progression. Uh.

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>He's another one that will evaluate this weekend see where

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 1>he's at, and we'll go from there. Twice Ay, thanks guys,
