1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: All right, Well, so you know, some week's gone quickly 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: for us, A short week. Um, I think the players 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: done a good job though. Um, you know, moving past 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: the Monday night game and you know, getting onto the Browns. 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: We still got a lot of work to do, but 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: we're I think we're gaining on it. So UM, I 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: just think the more you watch Cleveland, the more you 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: appreciate the talent um skill that they have that at 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: so many different positions. And as I said before, it's 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: a very explosive group. Um, that's very aggressive and so 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: let's be it will be big challenges for us Sunday. Um, 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: we depended on if we were going to call them people. Yeah, um, texting, 13 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: text messages, catching up on just a couple transactions on Wednesday, Um, 14 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: you guys were go away from Eric Thomlinson, Josh Gordon 15 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: was on the field, and then later that day Josh 16 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: ended up on IR. Eric came backward. He would change 17 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: that day just to change that. Yeah, other number of 18 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: things going on. In the end, we made the transactions 19 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: fellow rest for the team. Josh expressed surprised that he 20 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: was put on IR. Is that a conversation you have 21 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: for him? Before? It happens or is that a conversation 22 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: that goes through the egya and then to Josh where 23 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: his following rules? Do you intend to part ways with 24 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: Josh once he gets healthy. Yeah, well that's a conversation 25 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: for later. He's not healthy right now. So there's your 26 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: ham with your ask the question. Rad must to two 27 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: practices with Mohammed Sano. I know it's two practices, but 28 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: what have you seen it from him? Um? You know, 29 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: smart kid picks things up. Well, Um, we'll see what 30 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: we can do here. You know, sometimes is it accumulates 31 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, early downs, their down right areas, situational stuff. 32 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: We'll see what the you know, what the load looks like. 33 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: But he's made good progress about days, works hard, good kid, Um, 34 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: it was really you know in tune and um, you know, 35 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: trying very hard to pick up things quickly and you'll 36 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: get on the same page everybody else. Let's stay a 37 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: long way to go, a lot of work to do. 38 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: But he's working hard at it, so you'd appreciate that 39 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: market is contam streaming down. Uh, yeah, there's some process 40 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: going on there. I don't know exactly where it is. 41 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: I trying, I don't but one end of the decision 42 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: to Oh, there's a lot of factors, so multiple, multiple 43 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: considerations on this. Look any end, you know, I think 44 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: Mike's good player. Um, we brought him here. He helped 45 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: our team. I think he would help us. But ever, yeah, 46 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: I got a certain number of certain things we got 47 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: to work with and work around, and that's what we 48 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: have to do. M hm. Oh did Michael request to 49 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: be treated from the team. Yeah, I don't think that's 50 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: a part of the conversation. Is different factor in a 51 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: trade when you're gonna when you're gonna play a team 52 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: later in that season, is that Does that have any 53 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: weight whatsoever? I think any end you always trying to 54 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: do its best for your team whatever. That is so 55 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: great thinking back to when you treat it for Michael 56 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: Bennett in March, like do you have a vision for 57 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: maybe like this is what I think our defense might 58 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: look like or how we'll play and then obviously that's 59 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: gonna evolve and change over time. Is that part of 60 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: sort of the what what's happened here? Yeah? I don't know. 61 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: As I said, there's there's a lot of things, would 62 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: be a lot of considerations. Um, in this particular situation. 63 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: So that's what it is. So what do you what 64 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: do you What do you see when you watch Mayfield? Obviously? 65 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: Is the numbers have arrested? He's not play performing as 66 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: he did last year? Um? Is there things that jump 67 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: out to you that he's not doing or is he 68 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: just gonna make him of bad luck or a couple 69 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: of bad games? Yeah? Yeah, talk to um, you know 70 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: coach Kitchens and Cleuton coaches about that. I don't really 71 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: know what these signments are and things like that. But 72 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: it was a talented player. He's athletic. So the scrambled 73 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: the head against Seattle for a touchdown, he could certainly 74 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: make all the throws. Um, he's a tough kid. I 75 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: don't think there's any doubt about that. So I don't know. 76 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: I see all those and those are all dangerous qualities 77 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: that we have to compete against, it seems like, And 78 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong here. John Simon is sort 79 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: of undersized for the job he's doing on the defense. 80 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: Is that is that misguided or two hundred and fifty pounds? 81 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. So how impressive is it that he 82 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: can you know, set the edge you pries them? Maybe 83 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: recently about you know, saying yeah, John toss plays is 84 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: John's got good playing strength, He's got good leverage. Um, 85 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: I don't think playing strengths an issue. I don't think 86 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: it was an issue wherever he's been. Was an issue 87 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: in Houston, I think it was an issue Indianapolis. I 88 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: think it was an issue at Ohio State. So I'm 89 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: not really sure that's coming from. I think you play strong. 90 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: He always has to play strong. It's one of his 91 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: strengths too. No question, stuff good, no doubt about that, 92 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: those tour strengths. Any's smart, very smart, very instinctive. So 93 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: just got some things going for I know around the league, 94 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: and not not just here but everywhere. You get to 95 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: deal with moving parts. Different guys come out of the 96 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: roster and leaving. But when you look at the wide 97 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: receiver group, particularly here this year, there's been a lot 98 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: of guys coming in and out. How difficult has that 99 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: been to deal with, not just for you guys into 100 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: coaching staff, but for the offense and how they responded 101 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: well against. As I said before, it would always be 102 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: ideal to have everybody available all the time and just 103 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: the same people every week of the season. That's just 104 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: not the way it is in a national football league 105 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: or anywhere else. So I control what you can control 106 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: and what you can't control. You try to work around 107 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: the final alternatives to do the best you can with it. 108 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes that's a different position. Sometimes it's at the same position. 109 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not that much. Sometimes it's a lot. So 110 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: so other teams in the league that you know, it's 111 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: like they're dealing with injuries just like we are, just 112 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: like everybody else's or something. Just always you know, there 113 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: are the things to deal with besides injuries. But that's 114 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: just it's a national football it's a long season. It's 115 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: tough game. Realistically, thinks gonna be the same people out 116 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: there every single game all year long. Show me where 117 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: that's happening. I still I'll see a lot of it days. 118 00:07:53,840 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: And does it surprised that you became available? Well, it 119 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: was a surprise until um, you know, Urban got released 120 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: and it wasn't surprise at almost, but we expected that one. 121 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: So he's been good. He's great, Um great, kid, works hard, 122 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: you know, as a passion for his job, understands what 123 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: it is, understands his role um in terms of kicking 124 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: game first, and he's embraced the um positions we put 125 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: them in. He's trying to same with it as a 126 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: new trying to get up to speed as quickly as 127 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: he can be ready to go on Sunday, and we'll 128 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: see how all that comes together. Brace Slater and Bethel. 129 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: I mean, can you think of a better combination of 130 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: guys that have wouldn't let's say the last seven years, 131 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: going back to Bethel coming in twenty twelve. Now, Niche 132 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: the game in that it part of getting the special teams. 133 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: Two better guys. Um, yeah, I'm there, both yeah, I 134 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: mean they're both good. Say John Jones is pretty good too. 135 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: You know, John has a big role for us on 136 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: defense now. But you know, i'd say the first couple 137 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: of years in the league, you know, I'll put John 138 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: Jones in that conversation just to follow. When when do 139 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: you in general start thinking or talking with your staff 140 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: and players about possible elements like if it's going to 141 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: be extreme wind or rain, like how close to you 142 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: like to get to game before that? Even when comes 143 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: the dot process for you? All right, depend on what 144 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: you're talking about as late as possible. You know, I'm 145 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: in the Giant game. It was supposed to be the 146 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: monsoon and everything here, and you know, like usual, there 147 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: was not one to drop a rain, and let's say 148 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: minimal wind. Although it was some wind, it was across 149 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: the field, so it didn't really affect the game much. 150 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: We went down to Miami, we thought it was gonna 151 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: be hot. We thought it was gonna be hot when 152 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: the game was schedule, we thought it was gonna be hot. 153 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: In training camp, we thought it was gonna be hot. 154 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: The week before the game. We thought it was gonna 155 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: be hot the day of the game. And it was 156 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: so predicting heat in Miami and September or whatever it 157 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: was fifteenth and whenever we played him. You know, maybe 158 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: even I could figure that out. Um, yeah, the rest 159 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: of it. Look, I've seen a forecast, but there's the 160 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: exact same forecast we have for the Giants. Not one 161 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: drop of rain, So we'll see. I mean, I don't know. Sure, 162 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: it's hard to sure. It's hard to get it right, 163 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: especially you know, you know, specific locations such as this, 164 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: like where it is ten miles from here and where 165 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: it is here. It makes all the difference in the 166 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: world US.
