1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: Gott who's your quarterback for Sunday? That's Patrick. How much 2 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: discussion did you guys put into that decision to not months. 3 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: I mean we went over the family like we always do, 4 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: and we did everybody, and we read every player, and 5 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: he came out he missed some throws, but like everybody else, 6 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: if he did a lot of things that we did 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: a lot of things wrong as a group that we 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: gotta correct. But where so his leash any shorter as 9 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: that starting quarterback is there? If he struggled a little 10 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: bit on planny, could you go to you know, no, 11 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: he used to start a quarterback, Todd, we went into 12 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: the release of Queen and Cobost today. Uh, it just 13 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: wasn't playing We trying to get a spot earlier and 14 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: we didn't have a spot. We weren't playing him. He 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: didn't get any time. It's just a business move and 16 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: with nothing personal. So Todd, the was nothing bestides of 17 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: football stuff that went into that. Did he didn't have 18 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: any issues with your coaching staff or anything like that? No? 19 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I just is there any message you hope 20 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: that sent to your team by cutting a former first 21 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: round pick? It was not a mess fact for cutting 22 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: the former first round pick, trying to send a message. 23 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: We're just trying to play good football players, and we're 24 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: trying to play guys that want to play and guys 25 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: that are ready to play. And obviously a long way 26 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: whether we wanted to lose, and we still got to 27 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: make business decisions going forward. That was just one of them. 28 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: Does that meant to play? I'm sorry, sorry, I'm in here. 29 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: It does that mean Quintin wasn't a guy who wanted 30 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: to play. Oh, he wanted to play. I mean, I 31 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: think Quintin still has a good future. It just wasn't 32 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: playing with us. There were guys that were playing better. 33 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: So it just came to the point where we put 34 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: may need to rust the spot later, So we made 35 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: the decision. Todd he he played well at times last 36 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: year when he was on the defensive line. Obviously, you 37 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: guys have enough talent defensive line. Could you kind of 38 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: maybe explain why you maybe wasn't a scheme sit for you? 39 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: And uh, I guess that well. I think it was 40 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: a better inside player than he was an outside player. 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: But we got a flew with guys inside, including Draft 42 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: and Leonard in the first round. As an outside player, 43 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: I thought he was okay, but we need a little 44 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: more speed on the field for the things we were 45 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: trying to do, and it just got caught up in 46 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: between the tweeter status force of other men. He still 47 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: can't play. That just means he wasn't a fit for us, 48 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: because it definitely had inside. I guess, I guess why 49 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: now with with making the decision. You know, Versus said, 50 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: you know later in the year, even after the season, Well, 51 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we weren't playing im and as this game evolved, 52 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: there wasn't much we could do in that regard. And 53 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: we're trying to do some things going forward to make 54 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: some business decisions as far as getting our team better. 55 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: So now it was a good time. Can you give 56 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: it some what you know about the mangal to read 57 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: it my readers going through a Concussom protocol. So obviously 58 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: he's got to go through some things. And he wasn't 59 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: feeling any better today and Mangoes got the last rations 60 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: in his hand that he got to get stitched up, 61 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: about six seven stitches, and we gotta see what the 62 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 1: pain level looks like this week. As far as I've 63 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: been able to snapple ball now because this wasn't getting 64 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: better today? Are you pestimistic about him playing this week? No, 65 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: anytime somebody gets a concussion, kind of pessimistic about him 66 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: the next week. You know, some people recover faster than others. 67 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna have to wait and see. I did, 68 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: uh Nick having m R. I in his hands, and 69 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: he did Uh. They came back negative. Again, he did 70 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: have to get stitches. Were there any other injuries that 71 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: came out of game time? I'm not to this point now. 72 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: I will accuse you to seat in the patrick to 73 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: uh to stick with him going forward? And again, I 74 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: don't think a lot of throws are Ryan's fault. When 75 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: you have a quarterback and you gotta like at the 76 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: overall scheme, not just a quarterback as far as things 77 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: are getting done, and a lot of times we just 78 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: gotta get on the same page. And you know, I 79 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: think Ryan made some good throws. I thought he made 80 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: some bad ones as well, But you don't get up 81 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: on the quarterback just like that, because the overall on 82 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: what he's done this year, he's still proved he can 83 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: do that going forward. How about Sheldon, Uh, do you 84 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: think there's a chance this week? I'm hopeful we'll get 85 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: some more treatment and as we go through practice, you know, 86 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: we'll hope to see when he can get him out 87 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: there and I gotta him run. Would good? How when 88 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: you look at the offense is slow starts the last 89 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: few weeks. Are there any common teams you see in 90 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: those those slow starts. Yeah, Usually there's a penalty involved, 91 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: the county or two involved, and we get set up backwards, 92 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: and then there's a misassignment here there that sets us 93 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: back and we can't get going. And the whole thing 94 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: is we gotta get going earlier on the offense, and 95 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: we can't come from behind. And all the games we lost, 96 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: we've been behind maybe double digits, and we have to 97 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: come back and try to fight at the end. We 98 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: got to find a way as coaches to get that 99 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: out of the way and get it and get him 100 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: started earlier and started faster earlier. That was a healthy 101 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: scratch yesterday. Yeah, he was a healthy scratch. He was 102 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: sick all last week, so he met a lot of 103 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: practice time and when he came back Friday, everything was 104 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: already at the stone, tied on double tasks. How in 105 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: the perfect world, how should that have been defended? Like 106 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: with what protown defensively, I think they're wearing this factor. 107 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: You know, I've seeing a guy's eye out there nine 108 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: times out of ten. You don't see those in a 109 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: long time. And everybody just has to stay with their 110 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: rules and not get caught by the first past going 111 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: the other way, and to stay with the guy you're 112 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: supposed to be with. God, you were you guys to 113 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: wear the short ran a double past against detectives last year? Yes, 114 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: we were todd You had a twelve men on the 115 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: field penalty after a time out? What what happened in that? 116 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: And that was a big culture mix up in a 117 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: big mistake on our part. M hm. Does anyone have 118 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: anything else for coach? Is there any I do that? Uh? 119 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: Be thought to considering any lineup changes this week? Yeah, 120 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: they're all Wes thoughts man. We'll go through the game 121 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: plan tonight and tomorrow and we'll see what fits and 122 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: we'll just trying to make that decisions as we go 123 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: out on Wednesday if we do. How how tough is 124 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: it for a coach when you go through like a 125 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: stretch of adversity like this and you have your core 126 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: principles and your philosophies that you believe in, But at 127 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: the same time, you probably want to try some new 128 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: stuff to get the team on track. So how do 129 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: you weigh those two you know, those two situations. You 130 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: know it's a fine line. Obviously, you've got to stick 131 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: to your core belief and you know, the same things 132 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: that got through the wins. You gotta stick with the 133 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: same thing they got to the losses and try to 134 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: get back to it. But at the same time, you 135 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: got to still make sure the team is continuing to 136 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: grow and everybody doing what they're supposed to, coaches and players, 137 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: And it's a fine line between the two, and you 138 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: weigh the good in the bed and you make a 139 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: decision that you gotta go with it. Last night, some 140 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: guys mentioned that, you know, this is a team that 141 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: doesn't know how to finish, or you know they don't 142 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: know how to play sixty minutes. Is that a cultural 143 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: thing that you're just coming in trying to change or 144 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: is there something specific that you can pinpoint as to 145 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: why that might be. I think it's a little bit 146 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: of everything else. They're trying to finish the ball game, 147 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: and we know we have to finish ball games and 148 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: the way we finished ball games, the execute and play 149 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: situational football, and I think once it gets down to 150 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: the end of the ball game, there is a bust 151 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: here or a bus there that we gotta get better 152 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: and that that comes with mental toughness, and that that's 153 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: something has to be ingrained every year, whether it's a 154 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: new coach or whether it's the same coach. So, you know, 155 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: I think it's the process. It's something we gotta get 156 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: over because we lost five of them, and there's at 157 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: least three of them where we lost where we should 158 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: have better mental toughness and execution. At the end, Coach, 159 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: it looked like Aaron Henderson got some additional rest there 160 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball against you, And 161 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: is that something you're gonna look to increase even more 162 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: in the coming weeks. It could be. I mean, David 163 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: and Tomorrow got banged up at certain point of the game, 164 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: so he's the next guy in. Just um a clarification 165 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: on the Queen situation. Did you you said you might 166 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: you need the roster spot, You might have something in 167 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: mind where you want to clear that roster spot. Now, yeah, 168 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: we have something in mind going forward, and you know 169 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: we see how developed or go from there. Might you 170 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: sign a kickoff return. I'm not gonna devoted at this time, 171 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: but we do fomthing that we're looking man,
