1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: So guys all right injuries for practice today. Robert Beale

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: and the Protocol won't practice, Tatum Bethune Inkle won't practice,

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Heady Pinero right hamstring, won't practice. Luke Gifford hip neck

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: will be limited. That's it, go ahead, the.

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: Rocks a full go for practice. And what is that?

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: Obviously he came out of the game fine, And what

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: are you expecting out of him? Expecting a full go

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: guy who gets better each week. How's Fred Warner's recovery

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: going and is there still an outside chance that he

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: could possibly come back from the playoffs. I have an asset.

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but I'm not I have an asset.

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's going awesome. Fred works as hard as

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: anyone on the planet, so it's going great.

14
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: Panthers usual McMillian more than a slot last week. What

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: kind of challenge is that?

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: What are you impressions of him on the film? I

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: think he's a stud. He's gonna be one of the

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: best receivers in this sooner than later. He's got all

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: the skill sets to do it, and I think he's

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: just getting started. You get your eye in the draft?

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, somebody who thought might make it to you

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: guys at at eleven.

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: Well, we thought he was going to go before that,

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: but he got to cover all those guys you.

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: Guys brought in MT. Gaze and a kicker. What did

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: you like about him to bring them in? Obviously ypin

27
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: here has been great for you guys, but needing to

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: feel that boy his experience.

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: He's had a lot of success in this league and

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: looks real good during our workout.

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: What does that have Rose defense look like? What stands

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: out you.

33
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: Know, just going against it over the years. It's it's

34
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: a very They do so many different things with Front's personnel,

35
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: groupings and everything, yet they're extremely sound, very rarely make mistakes,

36
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: hard to get big plays on them and does a

37
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: real good job.

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: Rice Young when you watch the Taple kind of challenges

39
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: as you both.

40
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: I mean, just has the ability to play at a

41
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: high level. He was drafted for that reason. All you

42
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: got to do is watch last week to see what

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: he's capable of, I mean, throwing for that many yards,

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: being able to bring them back and when that game

45
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: was huge and he's getting more and more consistent as

46
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: he goes, and you see a guy who's got a

47
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: future in this league.

48
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: He's not a prototype for a number one pick.

49
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: When you look at his height and all this stuff,

50
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: what do you think caught everybody's eye to make him

51
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: just how he played in college? I mean, how good

52
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: he was distributing the ball, how good he is at

53
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: getting out of certain situations in the pocket, changing his arm,

54
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: angled things like that, has all the tools to make

55
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: all the plays that a top guy would make, and

56
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: just really the level he played out in college.

57
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: It's finally the forty point threshold against the Cardinals last week. Offensively,

58
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: what are you expecting out of? But going up against

59
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: the defense, it's kind of ranking in the same area

60
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: in the run game in the past game and the

61
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers.

62
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: What am I expecting North Carolina? Yep, tough game. Tough game.

63
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: One of the biggest challenges having to swap out middle

64
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: linebackers again. Now you're on the third line and his

65
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: Curti is going to be the starter at that spot. Yes,

66
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: and it's been good. Curais has been here, always been

67
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: practicing for this moment and stuff. But it's just like

68
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: when you're missing a quarterback or center, it's not it's

69
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: not just the ability of the guy but everything runs

70
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: through that position and the mic by far the most

71
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: on the on the defense, getting everyone lined up, getting

72
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: adjustments with all the motions, and it's it's a huge

73
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: deal schematically mentally. The challenge of it a curse.

74
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: That I do for that you intend to think tend

75
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: to go on rotating arch in Spencer Burford.

76
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, I think so, let's se how practice looks

77
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: this week. But yeah, we've liked the last two weeks

78
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: of it. We think it's been well done well for

79
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: both of them, which means it does well for our team. Uh.

80
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: Will always evaluate week to week and see if we

81
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: continue that about your assessment of where the pass rush

82
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: is right now, and then how do you kind of

83
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: get it get it going work more? I mean I

84
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: thought we did get it going more last week. You know,

85
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: didn't have the production of it, but you know I

86
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: thought I thought we hit Jacobea a number of times.

87
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: I thought three of his biggest plays were closest to sacks,

88
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: that they did a good job hanging in there throwing

89
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: some good go routes when we did get to them.

90
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: But I have seen that improven weeks doesn't always mean

91
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: that you get the sacks of it, but I get

92
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: it's not going to be what it has been in

93
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: the past, but trying to get the most.

94
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: Out of it. The season has been win loss, win loss.

95
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: Does that have to be addressed in all this week

96
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: just in terms of coming up with win it and

97
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: keeping that focus. I mean, I don't think we address

98
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: really a narrative of win losses like that, But you

99
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: can dress how important this game is on what you

100
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: do do every week, but you find a different way

101
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: to word it and whatever pertains to that week. And

102
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: I think it's more important the leader you get in

103
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: the year, especially playing against the team right now who's

104
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: in the playoff hunt fighting for first place in their division.

105
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: So I think we fully understand how important it is

106
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: to get it back to back when and but we

107
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: also understand how portan it is to get a win

108
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: every week too. Christian facing Carolina and I don't want

109
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: to put words in your mouth. Has he exceeded your

110
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: expectations as you look back to the trade that you

111
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: made and if so, yeah, I mean we knew trade

112
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: and form that we're getting extremely special player, But I

113
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: still would say exceed to expectations he's even been I mean,

114
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: you know how good he is off of film, but

115
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: once you get to work with someone and really see

116
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: what makes him so good, you realize, but he's in better,

117
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: better than your thought. Or do you see? Uh the

118
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: if you hadn't asked if Fred could be back to

119
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but you didn't think that was gonna be

120
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: the case, And you've been told kind of mckail timeline

121
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: by the met stack. Uh, yeah, it was like four

122
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: months ago or whenever you got hurt. And I think

123
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: I told you guys then generally, but I don't keep

124
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: updating on injuries that don't pertain to this week every

125
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: single second. So that's just why I don't have that

126
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: question answered. But I can find out for you guys,

127
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: right or yes, he's thrown me off cause I think

128
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: today is Wednesday. Alright, I'll be ready.

129
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 2: Then where do you see upton stout in his development

130
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: from week one to now?

131
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: What what are his strengths? Uh? I'm a love how

132
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: Stylet plays. I mean, I I think he plays exactly

133
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: the way that we look for a forty nine or

134
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: to play. Going back to his to his turnover on

135
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: the goal line, I mean the second I've heard he

136
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: did there, I mean, he hit him with all he's

137
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: got and then he came back for another one, getting

138
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: his hand there to pull the ball out. I think

139
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: he plays the way he swarms to the ball would

140
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: probably be the number one on our defense right now.

141
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: I love how hard he competes and how fearless he is.

142
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: Said that this team has gotten a little too high

143
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: after a.

144
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: Couple of weeks ago. Is that something you've noticed in

145
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: the mark of a young team, And do you feel

146
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: like you're getting better at that?

147
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I think that's what you

148
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: say when we don't when we haven't strung together a

149
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: couple of wins in a row since our first since

150
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: I think we opened up this year. But I want

151
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: to say we get too high. I just think I

152
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: think some after losses, you're always naturally more desperate, and

153
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: it's and that's just human nature, and it's finding a

154
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 1: way to be that desperate no matter what has happened

155
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: the week before or what that day, that you just

156
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: stay desperate. It's hard to do that seventeen weeks in

157
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: a row, for seven months in a row, but that's

158
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: usually the best teams do.

159
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, it that Ricky Piers always not going to play

160
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: unto leaves hitting all the GPS stuff that you wanted

161
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: him to hit and show it in practice he could

162
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: do those things. Did he do the Did he have

163
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: those same things in the game. He wasn't targeted much.

164
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: But did you see what you wanted to see in

165
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: terms of how we looked?

166
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, I mean it wasn't that I was

167
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: adamant about that. You guys just asked some more detailed question.

168
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: And I think Grant said he was healthy because he

169
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: saw him shooting hoops. That what's wrong with him? Because

170
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: he's shooting hoops in there, even though you can shoot

171
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: hoops in a wheelchair also, And so I just answered why

172
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't healthy. I mean, guys who can hit over

173
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: twenty miles per hour all the time and then can't

174
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: hit eighteen without feeling pain in their knee, that's a

175
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: sign that they're not healthy. So that's all I was saying.

176
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: There wasn't overdone on that. But what was your question?

177
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: You saw like you saw what you wanted to see

178
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: from him.

179
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: We saw what we wanted to see for him last Wednesday.

180
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: He looked like a healthy Ricky, which is why he

181
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: probably didn't have pain hitting those GPS numbers, and why

182
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: I thought he looked real good in the game. You know,

183
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: I think it's unfair to these guys to me to

184
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: agree that they're judge off of targets. You know, we

185
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: we try to get quarterbacks who don't throw to people covered.

186
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: And you know, and covered doesn't mean a man a

187
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: man all the time. It means that there's two zoning

188
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: defenders on you. And so if a zoning defenders on

189
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: one guy, then you move to the next guy and

190
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: there's no one under and you get completion. So like,

191
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, I can't remember a time in that game

192
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: where we went to Ricky and he was covered by

193
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: the guy guarding him with someone underneath. So I thought

194
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: Ricky was awesome last week and expect him to be

195
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: the same as not better this week. Would you think

196
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: of Martin he got the first extended run. Would you

197
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: think he did a real good job? You know, I

198
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: thought he ran and tackled very well. Really had just

199
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: one mistake in the past game, giving up just a

200
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: seven cup behind him. I think he had fourteen plays,

201
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: but thirteen of them were real good. The conversations again,

202
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: what's that your name has come up and Coach of

203
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: the Year conversations that recognition. Recognition mean anything to you, No,

204
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: but I appreciate it. I'm not trying to sell anybody

205
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: by that. Jews just played his two hundredth career game.

206
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: Obviously he's not like a nineteen seventies sledgehammer fullback, but

207
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's still quite a bit more fullback.

208
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: But how in your.

209
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: Mind is he's that would explain his longevity. I mean,

210
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: I think if if Jews needed to be that way,

211
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: he would train his body to be that way and

212
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: still be able to be that type of fullback. I

213
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: think the game's a little bit different and how you

214
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: use people in the angles that's created now compared to

215
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: just iso every play in the fifties. But I do

216
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: think that stuff helps his longevity to a degree, especially

217
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: at that position because it becomes more than just an

218
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: offensive guard in the backfield. But just from how he

219
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: takes care of his body to how he lives his

220
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: life is really unique. Like he's an extremely thought out guy.

221
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: From what he's putting in his body the first day

222
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: after the season to the middle of the season, how

223
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: much hour sleeps, all that stuff, So guys like him

224
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: guys like Christian, guys like Fred tim are the perfect

225
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: guys that all young players should watch in the sleep

226
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: because they really know how to take care of their health.

227
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, Thanks guys,
