1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,600 Speaker 1: I will continue progression today is a little bit more 2 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: tempo down force taven for today. Uh, this is the 3 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: same schedule we've used throughout the week for the Kansas 4 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: City week. Worked out well Force in terms of having 5 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: the gas fresh and ready to go. So you will 6 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: fly down obviously tomorrow, but today we'll kind of spitch 7 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: on some things up and go through some adjustments corrections 8 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: as a team. But logan, where where are we with him? 9 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: You guys? Right now we're playing him on COVID I 10 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: R I'd say, you know, when you're on that, obviously 11 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: you can't play. Is there a small chance that he 12 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: could still test out and be available? There is. We're 13 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: preparing for all the situation not being available as well 14 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: as if he turns around to the last minute. He 15 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: is prepared for that as well. Does that include you know, 16 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: like a stand by Ticke at the Tampa on Monday morning? 17 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: It would, It absolutely would. Yeah, So if he clears 18 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: as late as young Monday morning, we'll get him down 19 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: there and having ready to play. Test twice negative in 20 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 1: a twenty four hour span. Correct, he needs two negative tests, Uh, 21 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: two consecutive negative tests within a Yeah, we're gonna span right. 22 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: Definitely is a little over twenty four. Yeah, it's twenty 23 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: four apart, so that would uh go through all next 24 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: week to write like, so the testing would continue all 25 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: the way through next week as well. Is he a symptomatic. 26 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into the specifics of any 27 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: players on us, just so I have to sit here 28 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: and break down for each guy individually. Um, obviously if 29 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: there were symptoms for any player, you know, put him 30 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: in a different category. The impact if he can't play, 31 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: because I mean the next man up, but like he 32 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: does stuff that isn't just the way he plays between 33 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: the snaps with all the disguising, especially Brady, Just what 34 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: the impact and you can Julian duplicate that. Yeah, absolutely, 35 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: that's what we'll work on. Between Jewels and Z and 36 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: those guys right now and Jr. And different guys playing 37 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: safety position for us. You know, they prepare every day 38 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: for that. So again we talk all the time, but 39 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: we don't lose any of our players. However, when we do, 40 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: we'd been prepared for the next man to step up 41 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: and execute accordingly. And these guys prepare heart So Jules A. 42 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: J R. All the DV has been getting together a 43 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: little bit extra working on communication. It makes sure on 44 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: the same page. Had a good day practice. I say, 45 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: we'll out here today, have some teaching periods built in 46 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: as well as have some you know, action periods. Make 47 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: sure aren't on anything we had issues with h looking 48 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: still working virtually with the with the room. He's been 49 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: in virtual meetings and then obviously you can't be out 50 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: here with us in net. You're planning him to activate 51 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: Andrew Tom's We're gonna see how he comes through and 52 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: see how it looks right here, I'd say, you know, 53 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: yesterday was a good day for him. We're gonna say 54 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: it comes out of today and really how the next 55 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: couple of days go. Right here, we do have more 56 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: of a window right now to see where he's at. Um. 57 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: You know, I'd say the next four year hours were big, 58 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: not just in seeing how he came out of yesday's practice. 59 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: Also you know how his body's recovering and how I 60 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: think is gonna be able to go out there and 61 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: repeat and sustain for a duration of time on Monday night. 62 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: So seeing how his body reacts the last couple of 63 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: days with big forces the next couple of days, what 64 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: are your expectations for sake one to the possibility of 65 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: him planning on that he's actually the same boat as 66 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: Andrew right there in terms of having a good week 67 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: of practice, trending the right way, and really progressing force 68 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: the next four year hours we big in terms of seeing, 69 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, how his body responds and what we think 70 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: it will look like for Monday night. If I'm not mistaken, 71 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: Trent Harris is out of elevations, So will you guys 72 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: sign him to the roster because he's had a pretty 73 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: big game day role. There's a possibility we have a 74 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: number of guys that we have some open roster spots 75 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: right now. There's a number of guys who have made 76 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: contributions for us at different positions from the practice squad. 77 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: So we're you know, evaluating a lot of things based 78 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: on different players health right now, different positions, and that 79 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: will make those final decisions. Being a money that gained 80 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: gives you some more flex time to go up the 81 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 1: money and make those three guys the last couple of 82 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: weeks is at like capitlated, we're just saving a few 83 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: bucks saying what's the thought process between not just filling 84 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: all fifty three? A lot of times there's just you know, 85 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: the opportunity flex guys back up, you know, in terms 86 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: going to get him off a window. Um. Other times 87 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: we have more opportunity to flex guys up off the 88 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: practice squads. It's not necessary and so they put somebody 89 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: on the roster. There's been different reasons for all of 90 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: them right there back from the building. Yet he is 91 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: not no, he is not. Um. We're checking on him, 92 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of how he's feeling today and 93 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: see what it progresses to. It's Ellerston, so Lorenzo maybe, no, 94 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: Trent Harris, is Allerson ready to play? He played special teams. 95 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: Is he ready to contribute at outside linebacker? Well, he's 96 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: been working hard, making progress so well. Pleased the way 97 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: he's working and getting out there. You know, obviously some 98 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: guys a little bit older with some more experience, but 99 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: we do like to waste progress right now, you know. 100 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: It's unfortunately guy missed a significant amount of time to 101 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: go through training camp with us, you know, missed the 102 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: first part of the season being with the team, but 103 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: in the last few weeks being out there. I think 104 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: last week was really big for him. And there's a 105 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: couple of practics we have the younger guys getting out 106 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: there and gets some extra coaching, extra technique work, and 107 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: some extra competitive situations. You know, you've seen him grow 108 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: in just that short period of time. So we'll see 109 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: how progressive going on Monday Night. Do you have any, 110 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: uh stories about what it was like being behind the 111 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: scenes with throughout Bronkowski for such a long time. He's 112 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: out of such a unique personality. I'm sure you interact 113 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: with them quite a bit. Yeah, I actually I got 114 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: a lot of stories. Um, I'm not gonna share a 115 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: lot of them. Uh. I think the thing about Rob 116 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: that you know kind of goes unnoticed is you know 117 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: this guy is he's really extremely hard worker, and you 118 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: he really does prepare the right way and the way 119 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: this guy takes care of his body, the way he 120 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: prepares on the field. Uh. Yeah, I know there's a 121 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: lot made earlier this year or something comment, but I 122 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: told about watching tape, like, look, I know Rob's prepare 123 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: for games. I've been there with him. This guy does study. 124 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: This guy does prepare, he does work. Um, he's a 125 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: great teammate. He's a great teammate. And you know everyone's 126 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: got on the other side, they can let their hair 127 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: down a little bit. I think the thing that people 128 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: miss on Rob is, you know, when he walks in 129 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: the door, how much business it really is and he 130 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: really comes to work every day. So a lot of 131 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: phone with Rob, a lot of great memories with him, 132 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: wishing the best of luck. We got to compete against 133 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,119 Speaker 1: him this week. You're you're obviously expecting him to play 134 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: and when if he, if he does, what does what? 135 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: How much does he change the look of their offense? Well, 136 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: I think we have to anticipate the possibility based on 137 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: him practicing this week with the team and being a 138 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: full participant in the last couple of days. So that's 139 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: something we have to look at his coach and said, Okay, 140 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: what's it gonna do, How's it gonna alter? And then 141 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: the first thing you start with a guy like Rob 142 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: is okay, situationally, where it's going to impact the offense? 143 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: How they using the red area, how you use on 144 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: third down? How's he got me a factor in two minute? 145 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: What do you think they're gonna do with this guy 146 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: maybe coming off injury different than when you know, earlier 147 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: in the season when he was healthy. We have to 148 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: factor in all those things right there. But I'd say 149 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, his relationship with the quarterback 150 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: down there's obviously very unique. There's a lot of experience 151 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: between those two. They've made a lot of big place 152 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: throughout the years. It's obviously you've got that kind of 153 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: relationship with the receiver. You can expect in critical moments 154 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: to see those guys be targets. I don't know, Joe, 155 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: just sit him in the building a little bit, Nick Gates. 156 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: You know, he set up out of sight, out of 157 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: mind for a while. How how's he doing? Um, you 158 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: know you had a pretty dire forecast for him last 159 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: we spoke to you about him. I think you know 160 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: they're seeing an improvement. Is it too soon to know 161 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: what his future holds? Well, I know he's working hard 162 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: new I think the doctor's medical stat asked them. Um, 163 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, he's really started getting back in the meetings 164 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: with us. And for a while he was really limited 165 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: in how much he could be around, you know, in 166 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: the building, around other players. Things that nature lost him 167 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: as you know, was healing up. But he's at a 168 00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: point now where he comes in, he's got his re 169 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 1: have schedule obviously with the trainers, but then also throughout 170 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: the day, he's in our squad meetings, in the offensive 171 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: install meetings, he's acted with the offensive line and going 172 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: through the mental and the communication. And I'd say, you look, 173 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: whether it's whether it's Nick Pep, you know, Pep just 174 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: had a surgery, Blake Martinez, you know, these guys who 175 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: are critical parts with Shane Lemeu, he's on the guys 176 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: in that mixed two. These are really big time leaders force, 177 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: you know. And these are guys that are you know, 178 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: foundational pieces for us in this program. And these are 179 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: guys that have done a good job on the field force. 180 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: But the thing that you don't know what we see 181 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: is how involved and connected they stay off the field. 182 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: You know, we had a captain's meeting this morning and 183 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: I actually brought in, you know, a bigger group today 184 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: of you know, different guys from different leadership aspects of 185 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: the team. Talked to him, you know, and there's you know, 186 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: Nate Edward Blake sitting right there at the first two seats, 187 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: and you see his two guys right there, and you know, 188 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: when they're full go, you know, they're obviously on off 189 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: the field impact. When they're not full go, then these 190 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: are guys that still have impact throughout the locker room 191 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: in terms of staying engage and keeping guys moving mentally, 192 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: and then also keeping guys on the right track in 193 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: terms of how we're thinking as a team. Um, these 194 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: guys done a great job for us. You know, have 195 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: Nick in the meeting rooms. He always knows the eyes 196 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: looking back at you. Nick's got very distinct look on 197 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: his face when you're talking. You know, he's a guy 198 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: that wears emotions on his sleeve, so you can see 199 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: as you're talking, you can tell right away you know 200 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: how receptive he is, how he in tune he is 201 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: with different things, and it's always positive having Nick in 202 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: the meeting room. Dante Pettis, uhlip he had surgery kind 203 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: during a bye week or somewhere around there. Uh, what 204 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: exactly did he have? And is there a chance he 205 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: comes back this year? So it looks like he won't 206 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: be returning this year. It was a shoulder. UM, I'm 207 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: not gonna go to all the specifics of that stuff 208 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: in terms of you know, extremely what it was. Um, 209 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: you know, I'd say Dante's a guy that worked extremely 210 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: hard for us, made some impact for Uce. Is a 211 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: shame to lose him Um, he's in there rehabbing right now, 212 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: getting healthy. I think the biggest, you know thing for 213 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: him in the future is get healthy and be writing, 214 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: you know, contributing compete force as well.
