<v Speaker 1>the season. Um, you know it's still it's still early. Obviously,

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 1>this is what the preseason's for to give these guys

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>some opportunity. We still got a couple of games left

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, we're gonna we're gonna do, uh do

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>our due deligence to make sure that we see enough

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 1>from everybody at every position to uh make make educated decisions.

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>At the end, I just think he uh, um, he

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 1>just really calmed himself. I learned from last week, which

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>was great to see Um steadied himself. You know, it's

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's I know, the feeling coming off the

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>bench like that. You know, it's a backup game, and

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>he stepped in there and did a great job. Great

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>job leading the team, manage managing the game, and uh,

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, made some made some some big time throws

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.279
<v Speaker 1>and it was it was encouraging to see him heartening

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>these two quarterbacks in two games, both in the first half,

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you're trying to get down to work

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 1>and you know you're eating Carson out and everything else. Well,

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, Carson's out of games, he's not out of practice,

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and and we're we're practicing extremely hard with with our

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>starters right now in practice, so we're getting a lot

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>of good work there. Um. You know, it's it is

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of unique that that two quarterbacks that uh, I

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I've ever been a part of a

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>whether I played for the fourteen years or coaching now

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 1>that we've we've lost two quarterbacks like this and in

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>preseason games. But you know, the beauty of it is

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>we get we get them both back and we'll evaluate,

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, Cody in the morning again and um still

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>got a couple of weeks of preseason to to work

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>out a lot of a lot of details and again

0:01:55.400 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>make make those decisions at the end. Pay Um. Yeah,

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>we uh we had Greg Ward on standby. Uh, he

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>was he was coached up in ready to go. So

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 1>does this change anything with your approach now and the

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Carson and the remaining you know, let's say the third

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>preseason games, this change anything at all? No? Um, you

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>know we're gonna get some great work with Baltimore coming

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>into town, you know, this next week. And um, you

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>know again, you know, the plan has always been to

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 1>really push the starters in practice and make sure that

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>they're they're prepared there. I really feel like practice is

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>where you make it hard and challenging on our guys,

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and and Carson and the starters on offense have done

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 1>a great job embracing that. And uh, we got another

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>good opportunity this week. So um, you know, we just

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>take it day by day. I don't look to next Thursday.

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't even look to the opener. I mean I'm

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>looking to you know, this weekend and getting ready for

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, our practice on Sunday, played all first seven stas.

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>When did you plan they were going to split the

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:01.239
<v Speaker 1>game two quarters a piece on playwork? He got hurt?

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>H What was that fusibility was that? Yeah? They pressured there,

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 1>um and and really it's unfortunate. Obviously you'd like the

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 1>quarterback to kind of see that and and and get

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>to his quick throw just kind of you know, held

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 1>the ball a touch. Um, we'll look at the table,

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.799
<v Speaker 1>we'll evaluate it further. But UM yeah, it's uh, it's

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>one of those where you know, we we sent the

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 1>protection one way, they blitched the other way, and we

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>were we were needed to get the ball out. However

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>it comes, you need to start with practice moop with

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>three helping quarterbacks. Um no, because the way things change now,

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, with our schedule change and everything. Um, you

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>know we can we can get by with with the

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>two guys. I mean, it does put a little more

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 1>load on on both of those guys, but uh, you know,

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, until we can evaluate Cody further. You know,

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>we're not ruling them out obviously, until until you know,

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>we we evaluate him. Operated. Um, I haven't heard it obviously,

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I haven't had any up base yet on him. I

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>probably here that in the morning, right, Thanks,
