They felt mine 70 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: throughout since we've been back, going back to April. Uh, 71 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: we don't in our minds training camp doesn't end till 72 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: September seventh, so we're constantly trying to build on what 73 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: we've done the day before, Zach so. But I've been 74 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 2: really pleased with the mentality of these guys, and it's 75 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: something that continues to grow. It's never a finished product 76 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: in that regard, because as we all know, it's a 77 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 2: it's a long season. 78 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 3: I think Phil years was years that he did for 79 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 3: this game. 80 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd have to ask the players, honestly, but we 81 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: just know what's at sake. We know it's in front 82 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: of us. 83 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: I do. 84 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, no different, Mary Kay for young quarterbacks 85 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: in general, Shador Dylan continue to operate. 86 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: You know. 87 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: I know it's boring, sounds boring, but we want those 88 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: guys to go out there and get us in the 89 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: correct plays, run the offense, spread the ball around, all 90 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: those things. But nothing out of the ordinary, nothing that 91 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: we don't ask him to do out here on the 92 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: practice room. Yeah, not ready, Yeah, yeah, Health, what do 93 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 2: you think? Yeah, he's grown in a bunch of areas. 94 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: I think physically and taking and what his body looks like, 95 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: his strength, his quickness, all those things. I think Mentally 96 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: obviously very good grasp of what we're trying to do. 97 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: I think defensive tackles are. 98 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: Going to show up more in games and live settings 99 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: and those type of things more so than out here 100 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 2: in practice. 101 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 3: So he's done really nice job. And it's a matter 102 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: of you know this. 103 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 2: This idea that these guys are finished products is just crazy. 104 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: So he's a rookie. 105 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: He's going to continue to get better and through just 106 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: sheer hard work and taking it day by day. 107 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 8: How's that kicking balling up? 108 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, plays with both guys obviously as we go into 109 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 2: this preseason game, but both of them are hitting it 110 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: well here and practicing in the games. 111 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 6: I should understand everything from you, all the instulation you 112 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 6: guys are trying to teach him from the football perspective, 113 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 6: and then you know a guy who's starting now, he's whatever, 114 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 6: third or fourth on the depth chart. Just all that 115 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 6: comes into the stranger. 116 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 5: Yeah. 117 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: I think with young players, especially get to this week. 118 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: We give them a game plan and here are the plays, 119 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: and and we put in a lot of plays that 120 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 2: we will not run on Saturday, but we want all 121 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: of our players to get used to the volume that 122 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: goes in. So all these for young quarterbacks, young players 123 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 2: in general, but it's a lot and I think those 124 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: young quarterbacks understand they have to spend a lot of 125 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: time with it. We have all those meetings, we have 126 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 2: all those walkthroughs. So but I was glad that they 127 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: they in particular, got the rhythm of what this game 128 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 2: plan week feels like. 129 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 4: The urgency? 130 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: What does that does that look and sound like? 131 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: Hard for me to say, I would just tell you, 132 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 2: and this is I can't sit here and tell you 133 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: it's a it's unique to us, or unique to this year, 134 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: or unique to this week, or whatever it might be. 135 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: But our players are excited about the season. They're excited 136 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: to to compete, and I think they've never wavered from 137 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: the work that's required. So we're not there yet. September 138 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: seventh isn't tomorrow. We have plenty of work left to do. 139 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 4: Some plants from the. 140 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 9: Cornerback in the slot, you make that change because of the. 141 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 3: He's been doing that in practice. 142 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: I can't remember if he's I think he's gotten some 143 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 2: reps in games in the first. 144 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 3: Couple of games. 145 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 2: But that's something that he has the ability to do. 146 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 2: He's done in his past. It's based on just his versatility. 147 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 3: Carson. 148 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 8: It just seems like every day out here he's making it. 149 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 6: Saw it again today. 150 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 3: Obviously, you drafted him for a reason. 151 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 8: But just how impressed are you with how far along 152 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 8: he is? Is he a little further ahead than maybe 153 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 8: you thought he'd be. 154 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: In this Yeah, hard to say, Darrell, on the second 155 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: part of the question, I would tell you I'm very 156 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: impressed with him on a daily basis, both the plays 157 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: he makes on the field, what he's able to do 158 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: in the building. Uh, making those calls is no small 159 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: feet for young players. And I think the veterans on 160 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 2: this team recognize and respect that he he knows it, 161 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: They respect that he puts in the work. And Uh, 162 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: he does make plays out here in the practice on 163 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: the practice field that you hope translates to the game. 164 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 7: Every injury is tough, especially he's starting to really himself 165 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 7: on that special team and that and and what are 166 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 7: you saying to the other guys here were not gonna 167 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 7: have to step up in that room? 168 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, very very hard Cam on a personal level for 169 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: the for when you there's a guy due to injury. Now, 170 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 2: he will bounce back, he'll rehab, he'll be back. But 171 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: you just hate it for where they put themselves in position, 172 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: with all the hard work that they put in the offices. 173 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: He's a guy that was here every day. So that's 174 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: where it's it's very disappointing. We all also know that 175 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: the next man up and that people have to step up, 176 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: and in his absence, we're gonna ask some guys to 177 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 2: to certainly do some things that that maybe they haven't done. 178 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 3: And that's just part of it. Every time we every. 179 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 8: Time we talked to he talks about not taking any 180 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 8: opportunity in this league for Greened Do you feel like 181 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 8: that easy? 182 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 3: Yes. 183 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 4: You know. 184 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: Joe's interesting in that he's been through a lot. He's 185 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: been the starter, he's been the backup, He's been on 186 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 2: many different teams, He's been on in many different offenses. 187 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 3: So I think his perspective is unique. 188 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: Uh, And I think that he gets to share that 189 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: perspective fortunately to our team, our young players.
