WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>He's down there until Friday, from what I understand, so

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll come back and see him on Friday. They're doing

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:20.439
<v Speaker 1>some rehab work with him, so not that I'm aware of.

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I just know he's down there. That Derek said, I mean,

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Chris said it'd be back. I don't think it's surgery.

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's coming back on Friday, So we'll see

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>where he is then. He said they're rehabing him, is

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>what I was told. He did a couple of things yesterday.

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>We'll see how he progresses today. So he's limited in

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>practice yesterday and we'll see, you know, to what extent

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>he can go today. With Cody Parkey, as I understand,

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>he had an MRI like the Wednesday before the Atlantic

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>games and showed that this gronded heel, what do you

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>make of that? I mean, is he just predisposed to

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 1>car up? As I said yesterday, it was a new injury,

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>So it's in a different spot of or the other

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>injury that he had, you know, pre Packers game or

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>whatever um or whatever preseason game he did it. And

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it was the whatever game it was,

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>but it was. This is a different injury. So what

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>do I make of it is it's unfortunate for Cody.

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad for him. He's just such a works

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.479
<v Speaker 1>extremely hard at what he does. Us most conscientious could

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been around in terms of what he does from

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>a kicking standpoint, but um, he had a great attitude

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>when I talked to him the other day, it's gonna

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>be here every day. He's gonna help kale about you know,

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 1>explain kind of where he's kicked before, kind of what

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>the situations are. He's been down in Washington Stadium, he's

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:30.759
<v Speaker 1>been in our stadium, and just kind of help from

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>that standpoint. But you know, he's he's he's gonna be here.

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna start rehab and he's ever already started his

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 1>rehab process. But because of the nature of the injury, Um,

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>it was at least eight weeks um before we'd be

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>back to doing anything, which kind of eliminated the point

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that we could bring him back from anything. The other Uh,

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>he kicked the ball through the uprights? Why was he better?

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>He kicked more field goals and those guys did What

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>do you know about his mental part of his people?

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I know fifth on a lot of research on him.

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Chris was on our staff with him when he was

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>at Miami and was very confident in him. I guess, yeah,

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:13.959
<v Speaker 1>he's got a heck of a leg. I mean it

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>explodes off his foot. So he was the best in

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>both kickoffs and field goals. And we had in our

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 1>tryouts Jason Peters and Ryan Cooper sister. Yeah, they got

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a nagging thing. I think, uh, they'll probably not go

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>full today and then we expect them back this week though, Ship,

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>what are your concern level with Sam Bradford? You know,

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 1>moving the ball, getting it down the field is a

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of it on him? Is it? Is it partially

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the receiver's dropping some balls. It's a combination of everything,

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>so you know, I mean we've had some jobs, but

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.359
<v Speaker 1>there's been some times where guys are open and we

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>didn't put it on him at their appropriate times. What's

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>a combination of both that he's just coming back from

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the injury, he's learning the offense is in the combination

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>of everything. Where do you think a specific thing that's Sam?

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I think he missed two throws, so he probably wants

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>back in the Jets game. Does the red his offense

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>changed much with DeShawn in it versus when he kind of.

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the offense has changed different than it was

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>last year. I mean, we played two different quarterbacks last

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>year and haven't seen DeShawn this year, so I think, um,

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>they're a little bit more run oriented this year because

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>of their backs. But I don't know if that's because

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Deshaan's not in or not. You know, so I couldn't.

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean they threw the ball a little bit differently

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>in both games we played him last year, so he

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>got through, you know, so we'll see how much more

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>he can do today. But he looked he looked good yesterday.

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>But I think with an injury like that Michael had,

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>that it's a progression thing. How does he progress during

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the weeks. But um, you know, we're encouraging where he

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>is now. Ye But until you had him, why not?

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Price tag of what was available in free agency was

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>more than we were willing to play, Yet you had

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>in turn? What did you think? I thought it was good,

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>But I also don't think you can just take players

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 1>for the sake of take him players. You know, if

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>we drafted, we didn't have an offensive linement drafted to

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the third round grade. If we took them, we wouldn't

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>have Jordan Hicks right now. So, I mean there's there's

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>always after the fact that you can say this, you

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>can say that, but I mean, we're not going to

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>reach and take things just before the sake of taking

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>things this year season said last year, when he's progressed,

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I think just because he's third year here, you know,

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>he's got more experience, We've got a better understanding what's

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>going on. You're just fade adding to the offensive lind

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 1>at all, we'll see. I mean, we'd like to have nine,

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 1>that's that's the ideal number four us, but because of

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>the we had two linebackers down that aren't on injured

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>reserved candidate Tepe guys. You know when Michael Kiko, so

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're you got to kind of figure out

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>where do I get that extra spot right now? And

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>for us at this current time, it was it was

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>in the offensive line. You know, there's there's you get

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>another injury somewhere, you may have to compensate somewhere else.

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>If in the ideal world, we'd like to have nine

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>offensive linement in the in the fifty three, but right

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>now we could we couldn't do that just because of

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>those two two injuries. At the inside linebacker position. After

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of drafts, there was nobody available in

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the rounds where we were thinking about drafting offensive line

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>and who was fourth a pick? Is that remarkable? Dude?

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Were you surprised by that two years in a row

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>that there wasn't real good offensive one value and second,

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 1>three or fourth round? Now, I mean, I I just

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>think it unfolds away. It unfolds and then you know

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>when when you picked, there probably a couple of guys

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>that go a couple of picks before you that yugs,

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I wish that guy was there. If he was there,

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>he's probably rated higher than the guy we had. But

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>you know when when when we look at the draft itself,

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>it's we're always just kind of going all the way

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 1>down and as the names get picked, to take him off,

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and then you look at him and just say, who's

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 1>the best available? And at the time when and I

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>said it then and it really was when we saw

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Jordan was the highest rated guy we had in the

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>third round. So that's where we went within the third round.

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>You know when then we decided in the fourth um

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>we traded our pick, you know, which got us a

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>third This year, you know, so you know, there were

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>some there's a lot of Indans and outs that I

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 1>went in the draft day. But you know, we're still

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>going to take what's the best at a position. And

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>I think when you reach at a position, you end

0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>up getting in trouble. You've always had a very good

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>offense here that you put up a lot of points,

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of yards. What is your concern level now

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 1>with the offense? I know, what's early? Just three games in.

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm just concerned with Washington. You know, I don't care

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>if we score two points and win two nothing or

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 1>we score fifty two points and win fifty two fifty one.

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>We're concerned with beating Washington. We don't look at it

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 1>as we need to do this, we need to do that,

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 1>as what do we do? We do we what do

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>we need to do in the football game on Sunday

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>to win the football game? Are the off season are

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I've been limited to the exployees. What have you seen

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>out of that secondary these first three games in regards

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>to keeping new keep plays from not having They're doing

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>a better job, you know than we did a year ago.

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>We still need to clean that up, though, But I

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>think it's the whole defense. You know, it's a combination

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 1>of the rush, coverage, all of that. All those elements

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>add to what it is. Obviously, if if the quarterback

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>has a ton of time back there, then he's got

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.280
<v Speaker 1>time to really push the ball down the field, you know.

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>And that's what we kind of saw a little bit

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.479
<v Speaker 1>in the first week in the Atlanta game. And we

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 1>didn't get a great rush on on Matt in the

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>first game, and we also so weren't great in coverage

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>in that game. So you know, I think it's a

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>combination of both. I see, I've seen improvement, Um, you

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>know from game one to Game two to game three,

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>so we just need to continue. Um, there's they took

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>a couple of shots, you know, eric Row made a

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>nice play on a breakup and then eric Row had

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 1>an interception. Then they took a shout on Nolan, and

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought Nolan made a really nice play on the

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>deep bowl of Brandon Marshall. So, you know, I've seen improvement,

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>but we need to continue to get better secondary strictly

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>technique things. Oh it's everything. I mean, it's matchups and

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 1>how do you match up with who you're at? You

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>know who they are, You know, and is there a

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>double is there a safety over the top, but it's

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>it's safety over the top? Are you lighting them? I mean,

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of different combinations or reasons that go

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>into it so different. Well, they're a little bit they

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>they were a little bit more four down at times.

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Um now then they were under coach Haslet But um,

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think the big thing with Joe's group

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>and Joe's they're always sound, you know, and uh they

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>don't their second rank defense in the NFL right now.

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>There they can stop the run with their guys up front,

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>their gigantic upfront. You know. I think n Knight may

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>be the biggest inside guy in the league right now. Um,

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>They've got another real talented guy. And Hatcher, who's been

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>whether we played against him in Dallas or on Washington,

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>is a guy we have great respect for. He's a

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>tremendous inside defensive lineman this league. And when they go

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to their four down package, they got Ryan Carragunos, one

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>of the better defensive and outside linebackers in the league.

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Trent Murphy's playing really well for him. They have a

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>young rookie and Preston Smith that's playing a lot of

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>snaps for him. Um, so they can They've stopped the

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>run with just their front and they got two really

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>good inside linebackers and Perry Riding and Keenan Robinson. They've

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>been able to stop the run with that. So they're

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>keeping the ball in front of them. They're not allowing

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 1>really big explosive players just because their front can handle

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.719
<v Speaker 1>the run defense. And I think that's that's a big

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 1>challenge for our offensive line going into this game. Agency

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>a year or little year and a half ago, how

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 1>much did you take into account like game I guess

0:08:55.640 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>because obviously playing he's fine PLA. I think you go

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>back to a lot of times because you don't have

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>exposure to him when he was with the Saints, but

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 1>go back to what our scouts looked at him when

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>he was at Ohio State, and you know that's where

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>you kind of get that information from the evaluation of

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the NFL stuff is really just off a film and tape.

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't get a chance to go in

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 1>and interview a guy in free agency and say, hey,

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>ask the coach to coached him, tell us about him,

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>because you know that team may want him back. So

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you know there's not a lot. There weren't conversations between

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 1>our staff and the Saints from that standpoint, But the

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 1>one thing that stuck out to us in terms of

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>what we're looking for for safety is that you have

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>to be able to play down and you also have

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to be able to play high. And I think it's

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's not coincidence that both of our safeties

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>were both corners to start their career, because you need

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to be able to cover. We're not a traditional one

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>high safety, another guy in the box type of defensive operation.

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, we play right and left safety, and they

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>they both could be down at times, they both could

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>be high at times, and it really takes a guy

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>that's got some versatility and we saw that. That's why

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>he he was our number one free safety that we

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>were looking at um in free agency two years ago.

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>So you guys do a lot of preventative stuff with injuries,

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>but what were the numbers showing you with with parking?

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're flags leading out to this or now.

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>He actually said he was feeling as good as he

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>was just before the week leading up to the Jets game.

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>So connection between the league season las an injury and

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the one now I don't think so, but I didn't

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 1>investigate it. You know, we do a whole when a

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>guy's injured that goes on ir they'll go back and

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 1>look at everything and try to see, you know, kind

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>of the reason why. But I didn't. We haven't haven't

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>gotten any information on that right now, say he got

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>a lean and yeah, they go through Ryan and Sam,

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>go through every throw that he makes in every game.

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>And I've sat down and visited on all that stuff.

0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I know Cal hadn't the most player. A good question

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>for him exactly what he did before he got here,

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>But when he got here on April twentieth, he was

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.440
<v Speaker 1>our most competitive guy in the weight room. He was

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 1>our most consistent. You talk about a guy that just

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 1>kept hitting prs, whether it be in bench squad, all

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>of our lifts, prs and our runs. I think, you

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.840
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of guys take that time from at

0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the end of the season till April. Maybe his time off.

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I think he was obvious to everybody that that he

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't take that time off. He worked extremely hard. So

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>when he got here in a chip what excuse me,

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely showing up. Now. I think he's doing a

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>heck of a job. He earned the starting corner job.

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, we talked to those guys that were coming back.

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>It was wide open. Really. The only guy that was

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>an established player gup was coming in for us was

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm and then the rest of it. You know, let's

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:42.719
<v Speaker 1>go see how it chakes itself out, you know. And

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Nolan's experience was as a nume mostly for us. You know,

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 1>it was really good at it. But you know, could

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>he be an outside corner? And I think he showed

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to us that he could be an outside corner was

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 1>playing really well. Right now. We didn't know exactly what

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>he was. We knew he was an outstanding special teams player,

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and we thought he had not ttunity to be a

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 1>corner for us. And we'd see how he developed. And

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.439
<v Speaker 1>the credit really goes to him in terms of how

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 1>hard he's worked and making himself not only and he

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:08.679
<v Speaker 1>was a great special things player for us Slasher, but

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 1>not just a good special things player, but then taking

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>that step to becoming a starting starting corner in this league.

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 1>He's doing a really good job at it right now.

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.719
<v Speaker 1>Sad now we're still looking at that. I mean, we've

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.199
<v Speaker 1>got we haven't been in pads yet. So you know

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>we got two days are two big work days are

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 1>today and tomorrow. But um, you know Matt will get

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:26.839
<v Speaker 1>the first shot at it, but we'll take a look

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 1>at at how that goes. He's next two days, so

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>thanks
