1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,560 Speaker 1: And crew. 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 2: Yes, well life happy day after Christmas. There you go, Mike, 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: don't have any updates for us and players. 4 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: Spa Lane, Tonga, Landry Wilson, Boody, Hollins and Williams will 5 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: be out, Pop and Henderson are questionable. 6 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, So Milton Williams is out? Is that what 7 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 2: I'm sorry? 8 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: I said Williams? Yes, Milt, Milt Williams activation. M m 9 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: that's me. 10 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: One, two, three, five, seven players out. Will it take 11 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: a New Year's miracle for them, any of them to 12 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: practice next week? 13 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: No? I don't think it'll take a No, we'll see 14 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: where that is and we'll go from there and just 15 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: not available for the game. And you know, a couple 16 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: of them are in protocol and a couple of them 17 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: have something else going on, so you know, we'll see 18 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: where we're at after the game. That's the most important thing, 19 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: the practice squad being able to elevate guys. 20 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: I know we talked about it a little bit of 21 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 2: the past, but I mean, how vital. 22 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: Is that when we get a week like this, Well again, 23 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: just just everybody deals with it. This is not something 24 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: that's new to the National Football League or to me 25 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: or anybody else, so we'll we'll elevate some guys and 26 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: I have to sign some guys and go from there. 27 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: Would you get accomplished today? Oh well, I mean I 28 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: thought again coming in back after Christmas, and you know, 29 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: guys are I thought of his business is normal and 30 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: as usual and you know all the stuff that we 31 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: have to focus on here at the end of the week, 32 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: two minutes and red zone and you know, move in 33 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: the field. So you know, I thought, guys got into 34 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: it pretty pretty good. 35 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 2: Coach really comes to insteative this side of here. 36 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: How of where you are aware of them? Are you? 37 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: And do you try to make a plan or is 38 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: it just focused on winning? And I think everything we 39 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: do is focused on winning. I try to be able 40 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: to aware as much things that affect our team or 41 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: players as I possibly can. But again, I think the 42 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: focus is on winning. And like we said last week, 43 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: if you make you make winning plays, those will usually 44 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: be enough and then will be enough personally. That'll be 45 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: the plays that you need to make. If you focus 46 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: on winning, you have to play a lot on offense. 47 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: So far to see you don't what you see from 48 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: him in practice. I mean, he's always prepared, he's you know, 49 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: there's hard workers on this team. I would say none 50 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: that probably work harder than Afton. And I'm not going 51 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: to say that he's the hardest worker, but he's be 52 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: hard pressed to find players that work harder than him 53 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: to be prepared to be ready to take advantage of 54 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: his opportunity, which it looks by you know, all accounts 55 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: that he'll he'll get opportunities. I know it doesn't mean. 56 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 2: You anything in the league, but maybe what does it 57 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: say about the resilience of this team that you guys 58 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: have a chance to go eat and now on the 59 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: road you were part of a team of what. 60 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: You throw over the regular I think that it would 61 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: be it would mean a lot. I wanted to division 62 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: game on the road, a chance to go eight no 63 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: undefeated on the road, and you know, we know how 64 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: difficult that is. So that's something that again we are 65 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: focused on and it won't be easy, but it's all 66 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: the things that we've done previously that have helped us win, 67 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: and how you have to play, and how you have 68 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: to take care of the ball and you know, handle 69 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: the road environment and all those things that it takes 70 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: to to be able to win and get some turnovers 71 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: and so hopefully we can continue to do that. Again, 72 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: nothing's guaranteed, and you have to go over there and 73 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: you have to you have to prove it. You have 74 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: to play with the trivia is to see them on 75 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: the last step in the cushion protocol we used to 76 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: be clear by Allas. I can't really elaborate on where 77 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: he's at. I just want to say that he's in 78 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: the protocol to humtil he's not. So I think that's 79 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,679 Speaker 1: probably the easiest way for me, just out of respect 80 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: that the the process of it, and that's that's really 81 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: where it's at. John Giles and Jeremiah web Public, this 82 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: is good, you know again, have enjoyed, you know, working 83 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: with those guys John since we got started Webbe since 84 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: after the draft, and I think both improved. Both have 85 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: been i would say multiple show Team players of the 86 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: Week in their respective receiver or on special teams, and 87 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: so that's that's great to see. 88 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: You don't know, he's not ready to come back to this. 89 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: Week again, just trying to get back into it, and 90 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: I think he's, you know, working hard. I would say 91 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: that it had been tough to see a lot just 92 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: from the way that the practices were structured, and but 93 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: he's you know, working hard to get back and again 94 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: it's good to see him out there with the team. 95 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: And that's just the first step of it. Christmas. 96 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: He spoke a little bit about it earlier this week. 97 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 2: I know he's out on Sunday, But now that you've 98 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: had almost a full year with him, what stays with you? 99 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: What best catchers? I think what you've called. 100 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: His spirit or just yeah, I again, I appreciate it again, 101 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: and everybody's different, and Mac certainly, you know, beats to 102 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: a different drummer. And I love that because with walking 103 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: in here with bare feet or whatever he's got, he 104 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: cares about the team. He puts the team first and 105 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: that's what I respect the most about him. And I've 106 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: never felt any differently. He has an energy to him, 107 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: he's got. I can remember days in training camp where 108 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: the offense was looking for a play late in practice 109 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 1: and Matt came up with one and there was hot 110 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,119 Speaker 1: and the guys were tired, and so I just thinking 111 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: back to those days and his energy and seeing him 112 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: on Sunday night with the with the passion and energy 113 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: that he had to help us win. And you know, 114 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: so we'll well obviously missed him this week, but the 115 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: show goes on so but I've always appreciated his willingness 116 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: to learn what we're doing, but also be a leader 117 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: for for some of these younger guys. 118 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 2: Thank you, Thanks, guys, have a good Friday.
