1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: Uh, so on a Friday at two good days, gotta 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,319 Speaker 1: finish up strong and uh anything else you guys need them? 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: Do you glad to ask him for you? How did 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: you think Evin Neil played individually for his first game 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: in the Nico Just probably like everybody else. There was 6 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: some good and some things to improve on. But he's 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: just apendable guy. He's smart, he's tough. He communicated well 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: with his teammates up front. That was a good start. 9 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: Certainly things are build off of how hard is offensive 10 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: tackle relative to the other position. Obviously quarterback guy would 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: assume he is the artist for a rookie. How hard 12 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: is offensive tackle for a rookie? I think they're all hard. 13 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: You know, every position is hard. But again he's out there, 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: you know, usually blocking one of the premier edge rusher 15 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: the most part. So there's a speed element to it 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: that he's got to get adjusted to, just like all 17 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: the all the rookies do. But I thought he did 18 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: a good job with Canarius obviously added back to the 19 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: injury report. He is at it. Back to the injury report. 20 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: We'll see where he's at today. He practiced, participated in 21 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: some team periods, but you know his hamstring tightened up, 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: so that's why he's back on the injury. Before practice, well, 23 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: he didn't leave practice, he just didn't participate in all 24 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: the all the periods that he would normally participate in. 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: He practicing some team periods. He tightened up, so so 26 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: he came out and that's while we listened him on 27 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: the injury report. That an aggravation of what he had before. 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: It's I think it's the same, the same like signing 29 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: for summer. We'll see, we'll come out here today. UM, 30 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, see what he can do today and see 31 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: where we're at. Did you stop practice yesterday do to 32 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: low energy? No? I saw, I saw a report about that. 33 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: I just brought everybody up. UM. I'm not sure where 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: that came from, but brought everybody up, told him, you know, 35 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: we have an important day ahead of us. UM. It 36 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: was just individual periods. It wasn't anything with the team, 37 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: and just again there's a standard here that we wanted 38 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: to try to reach every day, whether it's in the 39 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: meeting room, whether it's on practice. So before we started 40 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: the team periods, UM, I just reaffirmed what our standard was. 41 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: I thought we had a really good practice. UM. During 42 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: all the team periods. Yep, you got it. Were injured 43 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: like you have they're cleared there, or where you have 44 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: a situation where a guy can be cleared but you 45 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: don't want to put them in for like a full work. 46 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: I'm monously time with Thibodeau, like if he play but 47 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: not named the full allotment. Yeah, I think every every 48 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: guy that's that's injured. Um, you know, we have to 49 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: do a good job as a staff, starting with our 50 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: medical and strength staff, of of determining where that player 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: is and you know, if they can do something that 52 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: can help us as a team. Um, yeah, it would 53 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: certainly have. We could have different plans for that particular player, 54 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: how many reps or what package we put him in 55 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: or what down we put him in. Yeah, we talked 56 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: about that. Then we'll see today he's making progress. I 57 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: think he's improved, um each day, So this will be 58 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: this will be a good day to see where he's 59 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: at today. What do you need to see him for 60 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: him to be able to play on Sunday at this point? Well, 61 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: I think I think that's it's a couple of things. One, 62 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: I think the player has to feel comfortable. Um, I 63 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: would never want to put a player out there that 64 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like they can do their job at a 65 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: high level and risk, you know, further injury. There's always 66 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: there's always a chance of that, regardless if you're injured 67 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: or not. Um and then to just you know, we 68 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: watch him move around, see how he runs, see how 69 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: he changes direction, see how he does the things we 70 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: need him to do for this game. That's why we 71 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: try to take it all the way to the guys 72 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: that are you know, they may play the amount I play, 73 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: we don't take it all the way until the end 74 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: to see, you know, if we can give him a 75 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: chance to play. Having said that, you sometimes have to 76 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: protect a player from himself in other ways. He wants 77 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: to get out, but you don't think it's right, Well 78 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: what the staff doesn't think it's right for him to 79 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: get out? Um. You know, there's there's a lot of 80 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: guys that I've been around in my career that just 81 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: you need to pull back from them. Sometimes guys that 82 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: are healthy, even you need to pull back from him 83 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: and then pull back some of the load because there 84 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: they love to practice. They know that practice helps you 85 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: get better, it helps the team. And there's there's certain 86 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: players you know throughout my career that we've done that 87 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: with We're still getting a feel for all the guys here. 88 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: You know, this is our first real week. Um. Last 89 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: week was a little bit different with the extra couple 90 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: of days and first game of the season. So you know, 91 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: just in terms of how we practice and we need 92 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: these guys out here to practice and improve as a 93 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: football team. Have one more question on this two point 94 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: conversion from last week. How much of that comes from, say, 95 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: we're onto this week, Well, this is just ahead. This 96 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: is just I guess going forward to and like and 97 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: the way you coach, you say you're going to coach aggressively. 98 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: How much of that stems from the end of that 99 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: Bill's Chiefs game and being left basically on the sideline 100 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: helpless with overtime None of it obviously, No, I mean 101 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: each week. I'll tell you each week, I spend a 102 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: great deal of time. What I've said this before, Tie 103 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: and Kate and we go through, Um, I mean tons 104 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: of situation, tons of situations. You know when to accept 105 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: the penalty, when to decline it. And look, there's certain 106 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: things that I don't always agree with relative to numbers 107 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: and things like that, but I think it's important in 108 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: the position that I'm in that I try to learn 109 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: as much as I can and have good, valuable discussions. 110 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: But hopefully before it happens. We know there's gonna be 111 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: certain things that pop up throughout a game that you 112 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: have to make a quick decision on. But we we 113 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time, um, a lot of different areas, 114 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: and you try to be as prepared with your your 115 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: plan as you can, not just the schemes, but the 116 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: decision making processes of it. UM. So they'll they'll they'll 117 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: throw up a bunch of fourth downs and hey, the 118 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: numbers say we should go for it here, and uh, 119 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, I might say, well, I don't know if 120 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: that's the right thing to do. Relative you know, how 121 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: how does the ball get to that spot of the field. 122 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: Is it a fumbled punt? We get it and we 123 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: want to go for a field goal and make sure 124 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: we get points? Or is it fourth and one? I mean, 125 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: those things come up all the time. You saw it 126 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: last night, What was it fourth and uh inches at 127 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 1: the goal line and uh coach reading kick the field 128 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: goal turn out to be the right decision. But um, 129 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: you know, as long as we're prepared and we go 130 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: through the process the right way and we do everything 131 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: we can to get ready for a game. Then again, 132 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: the outcomes are the outcomes. But if you believe in 133 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: what you're doing and you prepare as hard as you can, 134 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: I think that's the most important thing. Um, You're not 135 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: always going to get the results you want, but the 136 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: preparation that leads into that, UM, is really really important. 137 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: If you don't you're not doing that, then you're just 138 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, you're flying in the wind there and and 139 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: that's not good coaching. Is it just frustrating for you 140 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: as a coach to see a guy who you know, 141 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: you know it could probably help you guys a little bit. Uh, 142 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: just have these miss injured? Yeah, I've no I just 143 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: feel I feel for any player that you know gets injured, 144 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. Um, those guys are out here 145 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: trying to compete, work as hard as they can. Everybody 146 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: wants to be on the field, and I feel for 147 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: the player more than anything. We'll take two more two 148 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: more points. Is there more you can do to soft 149 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: two shoe injuries? I think he does everything we asked 150 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: him to do, and you know, we'll see where he's at. 151 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 1: You know, maybe it's maybe it's just a tightened up hamstring. Um, 152 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: maybe it's a little bit more. But he's in there, 153 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: he's getting treatment. It will evaluate it today. I didn't 154 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: see him him respond this week before the injury and 155 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: meetings and in practice, you know, after kind of not 156 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: playing too too much on that open Yeah, I'll say this, 157 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: he's been consistent since we've been here. Unfortunately, he's had 158 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: some injuries in terms of how he prepares and goes 159 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: through walk through and sits with his teammates, how he 160 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 1: was on the sideline. Look, Um, I appreciate those guys 161 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: that that stay into the game when he had seven 162 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: reps and again where that goes this week. You know, 163 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: if he's ever to be out there, we'll see one. 164 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: You can said like five five games they didn't want 165 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: to emerge there the uh, we'll still we'll still working 166 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: through that.
