1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: He was practicing. We sold strong Shepherd out here a 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: little bit during individual rules. Um, where does he stand 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: up in the concussion and how don't you work? He 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: was out of here practice and doing what he can do. 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: But that's at he's in the protocol. Yeah, he's a 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: lot of that is adding your hands. It is it is. 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: It is out of my hands, right, So you know, 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: we have our doctors will anytime there's an individual in 9 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: the protocol or coming back from a concussion, the doctors 10 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: will let us know when they're allowed to be playing. 11 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: And that's where that's that's where we're at. So I 12 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: really don't have anything to add. I understand the the 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: interest in all of this, but there's there's really nothing 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: I can add. I mean, but a player being out here, 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: I mean, if he's very symptomatic. He h yeah, that's 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: that's fair. Do you know where I can't I can't 17 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: talk about that because I I really I know where 18 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: it's at. But um, it's not really something for public consumption. 19 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: He's in the protocol and when he's able to play, 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: our doctors will let us know that and he'll be playing. 21 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: What does state want to have to show you to 22 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: be a player on Sunday. Well, he's gotta, you know, 23 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: handle practice well and be and be ready to play. 24 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: So he practiced today, So we'll see how, you know, 25 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: when he comes in tomorrow, how he feels, and then um, 26 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: then the next day and so on and so forth 27 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: about something. We'll just have to see. I'm gonna let 28 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let the week kind of determine that watch 29 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: anything this weekend. I watched a lot of football, most 30 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: of it Arizona getting ready to play them. But um 31 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: I did, uh, I did see some of the games, 32 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: and portions of the games, especially the later ones, is 33 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: very bunch. That's what they say. Our focus is on 34 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: on Arizona. You control all that by winning games, and 35 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: then that's our focus on the right time to add 36 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: a guy like Buck Allen. And in hindsight, do you 37 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: wash you had him the last better in the last 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: two games. Not. We made the decision to do it 39 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: now and we're you know, we're glad he's here. He 40 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: was available, We worked him out, and um, you know, 41 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: we'll get him going as as quickly as possible. How 42 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: much was was Evan able to do today? He practiced so, um, 43 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: he did a lot was last Wednesday a situation We 44 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: noticed that we did not participate in the walk through 45 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: you had. Was that a situation because you had already 46 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: decided that he would not play Thursday? Or he wasn't 47 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: ready to participate? Well even last week? You know, each 48 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: week is is the same. You know, you go through 49 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: the week and guys that are coming back from injury, 50 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: you try to determine whether they can play. Just so happened, 51 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: we had to kind of determine that through walk through settings. 52 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: This week we'll be able to see more because they're out, 53 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: they'll be out running around this week. It didn't seem 54 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: like he was moving like his normal stuff. What did 55 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: you see from him today? I would say, I'd say 56 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: he's better. It didn't look like bal was dressed for practice. 57 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: Are you play with him? You can expect to see 58 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: him on Wednesday. We're starting because we felt like starting 59 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: him on Wednesday was better. No, No, I mean he's 60 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: got to go through there's a certain you know, protocol 61 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: that he has to um. There's just twenty one days 62 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: here and there's some practice involved, and we'll just see 63 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: where he's at. Focus on your Monday, Missus best meeting. 64 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: We'll get back to work. I think that's the important thing, 65 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: to get back to work, put all our efforts into 66 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: to win in our next game. And I think that's 67 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: I think that's what every coach's message always is. Um, 68 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: you know you, you just do everything you can to 69 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: win the next game. And then all that other stuff outside, 70 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: you know, standings, you know where you're at, all that, 71 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: none of that matters. You gotta put all your efforts 72 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: in the winning the game and then the rest of 73 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: it will take care of itself. Did Wayne practice today 74 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: he was out here. I don't. I can't tell you 75 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: exactly how much he did. That One of the things 76 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: that sake one said when he was hurt and has 77 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: said sense that he wanted to come back fast and 78 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: then also come back and be better. He said that 79 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: better can he do it? Seems like he's gonna accomplished 80 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: the first part. Can he be better you think than 81 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: he was? Yeah, he's a young player still, and so 82 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: every time he comes out here he has an opportunity 83 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: to get better. And I think I'm glad to hear 84 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: that those are his comments. I didn't read him or 85 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: I didn't hear about those, but um, when you hear 86 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,679 Speaker 1: a player talking about trying to get better and better 87 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,559 Speaker 1: buy a large margin. I think that's great protocol. Wayne. Uh, yeah, 88 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: he's working his way through it. I don't I really 89 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about all those guys. I mean, 90 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: when the guys that have concussions are ready to play, 91 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: then though, I'll be made aware of it, and so 92 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: will you guys. As a last week, you guys had 93 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: the fourth the youngest defense in the league. Obviously the 94 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: costons cross our shopping that week, changing the frame. It's 95 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: a young defense. It's a young team in so many ways. 96 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: What you know from them in terms of their personality 97 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: or a week they're kind of learning to be in 98 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: becoming as this season makes along. And I asked that 99 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: knowing you've had like a long week, it's a good 100 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: that's a good question. Um, we are young, you know, 101 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: and I think sometimes when you say young in this league, 102 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: or you say injured in this league, it's it's people 103 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: making excuses for you. I think what's important about our 104 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: young defense is I think they're they're improving each week, 105 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: and you know they made our young players have made 106 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: significant contributions. Some of your young players can be your 107 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: best leaders and so the message to them is to 108 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: continue to improve. I think we know from experience also 109 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: that sometimes your youngest players make the biggest you know, 110 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: and make the most improvement as they go through it 111 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: the fifth, the six to seventh and the eighth time. 112 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: And I think that's where we're at. It's like one 113 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: or two more you said, you said you watched the Cardinals. 114 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: What do you make him? Murray? And Um, you know, 115 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: is he just different than any other quarterback really come 116 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: to the league. Well, he's you know, he keeps every 117 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: play alive with his feet. Certainly. Um, they're doing they're 118 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: doing a lot of good stuff on offense. Um, you 119 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: see the reason why he was a dynamic player in college. 120 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: He he can make great throws from the pocket. But 121 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: when you know the field gets spread out, you know 122 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: he can take off and run with it. And so 123 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: especially in situational football, you know where it's third and 124 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: short or some of the third downs, or you get 125 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: down in the red zone. Um, they take advantage of 126 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: his legs and his ability to move around. Uh, not 127 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: to minimize the fact that he's a he's an outstanding 128 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: pocket passer, and I think that's what makes him dangerous. 129 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: He was widely assuming that he'd be the first old 130 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: round pick, and obviously you guys were there, But how 131 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: much work to exposed to do out of leading him 132 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: to the draft or reason was read on him in 133 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: or out. We did a lot of work on him 134 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: and we weren't surprised he was the number one pick 135 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: because he's an outstanding player. That's why. One more, what 136 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: was your movies your read on him as a desert 137 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: of the college Scouting him as a college prospect, you 138 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: kind of mentioned some of the things he's done in 139 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: the NFL. What did you like about him coming out 140 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: of college. You know, I think you've seen in in 141 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 1: our league all the things that he did in college, 142 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: and so that's that's what makes him dynamic. You know, 143 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: he's got outstanding athlete, control the ball extremely well, and 144 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: when things break down or you know, he's got a 145 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: chance to move around, he does that probably as well 146 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: as anybody.
