1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: Joe said on the radio, like, really, we could be 2 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: about a week or so for one. 3 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 2: Day coming off the top because he is he getting Yeah, I. 4 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 3: Think he's making progress. We'll see where we're at, But 5 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 3: not today. Not today he's coal banged up or is 6 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 3: he just getting rest. No, he's got a little something, 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 3: got a leg. 8 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 2: And what he brought us, Yeah, he had a Tommy 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: uh o' day. 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what, Yeah, I think he's made 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: steady improvement since he's been here. It's a lot to learn, 12 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, at that position as a rookie. I thought 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: he you know, all the things that you have to 14 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: do to play quarterback before you even have to play 15 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: the position, getting the play call, communicating, knowing who's in 16 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: the huddle you're playing with, knowing what they're doing on 17 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: the other side, all the stuff pre snap. I thought 18 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: he did a good job with and then he made 19 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: some good decisions, made some nice rows, you know, did 20 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: pretty good job for his first time out. And then 21 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: you got to throw it past another Don Bosco guy. 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, is there any element to him where with 23 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: a guy that has so little experience and he is 24 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: obviously down on the depth chart, he seems. 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 2: To have a vibe to him that he feels like 26 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: he belongs. 27 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 3: Like, yeah, it's probably a good Yeah. I don't know. 28 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: I think he's just he's come out here, he's gotten better. 29 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: I think the room that he's in with with Djay 30 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: and Tie is helpful. You know, two good vets that 31 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: that have that do it the right way. So you know, 32 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: I think he's made progress since he's been here. 33 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 2: All right. 34 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: With your time dealing with a lot of different quarterbacks, 35 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: can you teach instinct or is that just something you know, 36 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: I provisation, instinct things like that, I'd say instinct overall, 37 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: regardless of the position. Is it really a tough thing 38 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: to teach? Some guys just have it just whether it's 39 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback, defensive back, or receiver. 40 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 3: You know, well, why'd you do this here? And they 41 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 3: just they felt. 42 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: You know, I just felt it, you know, And you know, 43 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: I think instinct is hard to evaluate. You're always looking 44 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: at different things on tape and seeing you know, do 45 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: you think this guy is really instinctive? But until you 46 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: get somebody in your program, you see him on a 47 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: day to day basis, it's a tough thing to evaluate 48 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: what's a really good thing to have. 49 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 2: Where he's being along the improvisational instincts. 50 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's good. 51 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: You know, he sees a lot of things. He's athletics, 52 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: so that helps too, and it makes good decisions. 53 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 3: You know, he's done a good job, better now than 54 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 3: I don't know. 55 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: I think we've you know, we've made progress and really 56 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: everything so far in training camp, but you know, always 57 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: more work to be done. How many borders do you 58 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: intend to play? 59 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 2: The starters? 60 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk about that after. We'll talk about it 61 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: after after practice, I know, but we we are as 62 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: a coach. 63 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 3: Is just the same thing as during the regular season. 64 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: That's what we'll do. We'll go through. 65 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: Practice, meet with the medical staff, meet with the coaches, 66 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: and then make our decision. 67 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 3: Have to have in one game under your belt, especially 68 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 3: offensive line where you gave you off the line and 69 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: cost this point, don't. 70 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think again, just like all the positions, I 71 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: think they made progress. You know, we've we've shuffled guys in. 72 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: But that's like I said, what we do always, you know, 73 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: every training camp, you know, you gotta gotta put guys 74 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: in different spots and see where they're at. They've they've 75 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: made strides and you know, we'll see. Let's keep on 76 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: grinding away of your guys. 77 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: Do you know of any right now? We definitely will 78 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 2: not be available to play in the game. 79 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: I do so, I think. 80 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: Rider probably right. Anyone else, I mean, Evan depends on 81 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: the protocol, but anyone else. 82 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: I think evans trending in the right direction. 83 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: There anyone else? 84 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's but there's there's some Again, we'll talk 85 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: about all that stuff tonight. But I don't want to 86 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: give you something and then know then they actually can go. 87 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: And so let's go through this practice and kind of 88 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: see where we're at. Again. 89 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 3: I'm not not saying that that says. It's like things 90 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: that I will say one thing and then the next thing, 91 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 3: it turns out. 92 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: How important is it for Chef to get into a 93 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: game you think ahead of the. 94 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: Season, Yeah, I think, you know, it would be good 95 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: to get him out there, get some live action. 96 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,839 Speaker 3: It's always different when you can get hit. 97 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: So again, he's he's another guy we'll talk about here 98 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: after after practice.
