Speaker 1: Gott who's your quarterback for Sunday? That's Patrick. How much
Speaker 1: discussion did you guys put into that decision to not months.
Speaker 1: I mean we went over the family like we always do,
Speaker 1: and we did everybody, and we read every player, and
Speaker 1: he came out he missed some throws, but like everybody else,
Speaker 1: if he did a lot of things that we did
Speaker 1: a lot of things wrong as a group that we
Speaker 1: gotta correct. But where so his leash any shorter as
Speaker 1: that starting quarterback is there? If he struggled a little
Speaker 1: bit on planny, could you go to you know, no,
Speaker 1: he used to start a quarterback, Todd, we went into
Speaker 1: the release of Queen and Cobost today. Uh, it just
Speaker 1: wasn't playing We trying to get a spot earlier and
Speaker 1: we didn't have a spot. We weren't playing him. He
Speaker 1: didn't get any time. It's just a business move and
Speaker 1: with nothing personal. So Todd, the was nothing bestides of
Speaker 1: football stuff that went into that. Did he didn't have
Speaker 1: any issues with your coaching staff or anything like that? No?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I just is there any message you hope
Speaker 1: that sent to your team by cutting a former first
Speaker 1: round pick? It was not a mess fact for cutting
Speaker 1: the former first round pick, trying to send a message.
Speaker 1: We're just trying to play good football players, and we're
Speaker 1: trying to play guys that want to play and guys
Speaker 1: that are ready to play. And obviously a long way
Speaker 1: whether we wanted to lose, and we still got to
Speaker 1: make business decisions going forward. That was just one of them.
Speaker 1: Does that meant to play? I'm sorry, sorry, I'm in here.
Speaker 1: It does that mean Quintin wasn't a guy who wanted
Speaker 1: to play. Oh, he wanted to play. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think Quintin still has a good future. It just wasn't
Speaker 1: playing with us. There were guys that were playing better.
Speaker 1: So it just came to the point where we put
Speaker 1: may need to rust the spot later, So we made
Speaker 1: the decision. Todd he he played well at times last
Speaker 1: year when he was on the defensive line. Obviously, you
Speaker 1: guys have enough talent defensive line. Could you kind of
Speaker 1: maybe explain why you maybe wasn't a scheme sit for you?
Speaker 1: And uh, I guess that well. I think it was
Speaker 1: a better inside player than he was an outside player.
Speaker 1: But we got a flew with guys inside, including Draft
Speaker 1: and Leonard in the first round. As an outside player,
Speaker 1: I thought he was okay, but we need a little
Speaker 1: more speed on the field for the things we were
Speaker 1: trying to do, and it just got caught up in
Speaker 1: between the tweeter status force of other men. He still
Speaker 1: can't play. That just means he wasn't a fit for us,
Speaker 1: because it definitely had inside. I guess, I guess why
Speaker 1: now with with making the decision. You know, Versus said,
Speaker 1: you know later in the year, even after the season, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, we weren't playing im and as this game evolved,
Speaker 1: there wasn't much we could do in that regard. And
Speaker 1: we're trying to do some things going forward to make
Speaker 1: some business decisions as far as getting our team better.
Speaker 1: So now it was a good time. Can you give
Speaker 1: it some what you know about the mangal to read
Speaker 1: it my readers going through a Concussom protocol. So obviously
Speaker 1: he's got to go through some things. And he wasn't
Speaker 1: feeling any better today and Mangoes got the last rations
Speaker 1: in his hand that he got to get stitched up,
Speaker 1: about six seven stitches, and we gotta see what the
Speaker 1: pain level looks like this week. As far as I've
Speaker 1: been able to snapple ball now because this wasn't getting
Speaker 1: better today? Are you pestimistic about him playing this week? No,
Speaker 1: anytime somebody gets a concussion, kind of pessimistic about him
Speaker 1: the next week. You know, some people recover faster than others.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna have to wait and see. I did,
Speaker 1: uh Nick having m R. I in his hands, and
Speaker 1: he did Uh. They came back negative. Again, he did
Speaker 1: have to get stitches. Were there any other injuries that
Speaker 1: came out of game time? I'm not to this point now.
Speaker 1: I will accuse you to seat in the patrick to
Speaker 1: uh to stick with him going forward? And again, I
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of throws are Ryan's fault. When
Speaker 1: you have a quarterback and you gotta like at the
Speaker 1: overall scheme, not just a quarterback as far as things
Speaker 1: are getting done, and a lot of times we just
Speaker 1: gotta get on the same page. And you know, I
Speaker 1: think Ryan made some good throws. I thought he made
Speaker 1: some bad ones as well, But you don't get up
Speaker 1: on the quarterback just like that, because the overall on
Speaker 1: what he's done this year, he's still proved he can
Speaker 1: do that going forward. How about Sheldon, Uh, do you
Speaker 1: think there's a chance this week? I'm hopeful we'll get
Speaker 1: some more treatment and as we go through practice, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll hope to see when he can get him out
Speaker 1: there and I gotta him run. Would good? How when
Speaker 1: you look at the offense is slow starts the last
Speaker 1: few weeks. Are there any common teams you see in
Speaker 1: those those slow starts. Yeah, Usually there's a penalty involved,
Speaker 1: the county or two involved, and we get set up backwards,
Speaker 1: and then there's a misassignment here there that sets us
Speaker 1: back and we can't get going. And the whole thing
Speaker 1: is we gotta get going earlier on the offense, and
Speaker 1: we can't come from behind. And all the games we lost,
Speaker 1: we've been behind maybe double digits, and we have to
Speaker 1: come back and try to fight at the end. We
Speaker 1: got to find a way as coaches to get that
Speaker 1: out of the way and get it and get him
Speaker 1: started earlier and started faster earlier. That was a healthy
Speaker 1: scratch yesterday. Yeah, he was a healthy scratch. He was
Speaker 1: sick all last week, so he met a lot of
Speaker 1: practice time and when he came back Friday, everything was
Speaker 1: already at the stone, tied on double tasks. How in
Speaker 1: the perfect world, how should that have been defended? Like
Speaker 1: with what protown defensively, I think they're wearing this factor.
Speaker 1: You know, I've seeing a guy's eye out there nine
Speaker 1: times out of ten. You don't see those in a
Speaker 1: long time. And everybody just has to stay with their
Speaker 1: rules and not get caught by the first past going
Speaker 1: the other way, and to stay with the guy you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be with. God, you were you guys to
Speaker 1: wear the short ran a double past against detectives last year? Yes,
Speaker 1: we were todd You had a twelve men on the
Speaker 1: field penalty after a time out? What what happened in that?
Speaker 1: And that was a big culture mix up in a
Speaker 1: big mistake on our part. M hm. Does anyone have
Speaker 1: anything else for coach? Is there any I do that? Uh?
Speaker 1: Be thought to considering any lineup changes this week? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're all Wes thoughts man. We'll go through the game
Speaker 1: plan tonight and tomorrow and we'll see what fits and
Speaker 1: we'll just trying to make that decisions as we go
Speaker 1: out on Wednesday if we do. How how tough is
Speaker 1: it for a coach when you go through like a
Speaker 1: stretch of adversity like this and you have your core
Speaker 1: principles and your philosophies that you believe in, But at
Speaker 1: the same time, you probably want to try some new
Speaker 1: stuff to get the team on track. So how do
Speaker 1: you weigh those two you know, those two situations. You
Speaker 1: know it's a fine line. Obviously, you've got to stick
Speaker 1: to your core belief and you know, the same things
Speaker 1: that got through the wins. You gotta stick with the
Speaker 1: same thing they got to the losses and try to
Speaker 1: get back to it. But at the same time, you
Speaker 1: got to still make sure the team is continuing to
Speaker 1: grow and everybody doing what they're supposed to, coaches and players,
Speaker 1: And it's a fine line between the two, and you
Speaker 1: weigh the good in the bed and you make a
Speaker 1: decision that you gotta go with it. Last night, some
Speaker 1: guys mentioned that, you know, this is a team that
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to finish, or you know they don't
Speaker 1: know how to play sixty minutes. Is that a cultural
Speaker 1: thing that you're just coming in trying to change or
Speaker 1: is there something specific that you can pinpoint as to
Speaker 1: why that might be. I think it's a little bit
Speaker 1: of everything else. They're trying to finish the ball game,
Speaker 1: and we know we have to finish ball games and
Speaker 1: the way we finished ball games, the execute and play
Speaker 1: situational football, and I think once it gets down to
Speaker 1: the end of the ball game, there is a bust
Speaker 1: here or a bus there that we gotta get better
Speaker 1: and that that comes with mental toughness, and that that's
Speaker 1: something has to be ingrained every year, whether it's a
Speaker 1: new coach or whether it's the same coach. So, you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's the process. It's something we gotta get
Speaker 1: over because we lost five of them, and there's at
Speaker 1: least three of them where we lost where we should
Speaker 1: have better mental toughness and execution. At the end, Coach,
Speaker 1: it looked like Aaron Henderson got some additional rest there
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball against you, And
Speaker 1: is that something you're gonna look to increase even more
Speaker 1: in the coming weeks. It could be. I mean, David
Speaker 1: and Tomorrow got banged up at certain point of the game,
Speaker 1: so he's the next guy in. Just um a clarification
Speaker 1: on the Queen situation. Did you you said you might
Speaker 1: you need the roster spot, You might have something in
Speaker 1: mind where you want to clear that roster spot. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: we have something in mind going forward, and you know
Speaker 1: we see how developed or go from there. Might you
Speaker 1: sign a kickoff return. I'm not gonna devoted at this time,
Speaker 1: but we do fomthing that we're looking man,
