Speaker 1: A soreness in his hamstring, should be fine. Will monitor
Speaker 1: him and then um, um, I've excused Sam Bradford. Um,
Speaker 1: he's got a family issue back home that uh he
Speaker 1: needs to attend to. So I've excused him from the
Speaker 1: rest of today's activities. He'll be back tomorrow and be
Speaker 1: ready for the game again. To practice today, it pas
Speaker 1: to no tackling those days over the pad of days. No,
Speaker 1: the pad of days are not over. Probably the live
Speaker 1: the live tackling drills UM will probably be over, but
Speaker 1: we will continue to practice and pass throughout training camp
Speaker 1: and into the regular season. The other day, what adjustment
Speaker 1: you're thinking about tackling? Is it based on he's getting
Speaker 1: a couple of guys because they hurt the other day?
Speaker 1: Now you know, I'm not I'm not concerned as much
Speaker 1: about that. I just got to look at the overall
Speaker 1: health of the football team. And it's not about getting
Speaker 1: somebody hurt, but it's protecting the guys that are out here,
Speaker 1: and they've been doing an excellent job. These last six
Speaker 1: days have been tough, and and I wanted it to
Speaker 1: be tough on him. And by no means are we
Speaker 1: um where we want to be as a as a
Speaker 1: football team. But at the same time, I think we've
Speaker 1: made some big strides in the last week, and Jordan
Speaker 1: Peters and Jenkins um our day to day. I would
Speaker 1: fully expect them to return at some point next week,
Speaker 1: probably get ready for the second game. Um, Jordan Matthews
Speaker 1: is still a couple of weeks away from being back.
Speaker 1: We want to make sure he's completely with that knee,
Speaker 1: you know, completely healthy. UM, hopefully tentatively, you know, you
Speaker 1: get into that Colts that third preseason. Um, if not,
Speaker 1: then then regular season season. I don't I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think it's something that's just
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks away. It's that left knee, just
Speaker 1: a strain, you know, when when Jalen hit him the
Speaker 1: other day. It's it's no there was no damage, no uh,
Speaker 1: structure damage to the knee. It's just sore and we
Speaker 1: just got to make sure it's uh, you know healthy
Speaker 1: and um he's feeling good when he gets out here
Speaker 1: the first pres I'm gonna try to get him all
Speaker 1: in the game. Obviously, Sam will Sam will start with
Speaker 1: the ones I got Chase going in there. Carson will
Speaker 1: take the bulk of the second half, and then when
Speaker 1: I get opportunity, I want to I want to see
Speaker 1: McLeod get some time late in the games when he's
Speaker 1: paying accurate from my vehicle overthrow high. It's you agree,
Speaker 1: And second it's a matter of mechanics and footwork. I agree.
Speaker 1: And it's all mechanics, you know, it's all about mechanics
Speaker 1: and uh um and not sometimes not so much. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's mechanics, yes, but it's also decision making process in
Speaker 1: the information seeing what he's seeing really relatively fast. Um.
Speaker 1: And in this game, you know, lanes are lanes are tight,
Speaker 1: and just just being able to get the ball out
Speaker 1: on time sometimes can affect how a quarterback throws him
Speaker 1: said he believes it he mechanical time. That's totally true,
Speaker 1: because you can relax and play the game. I mean,
Speaker 1: it goes with any quarterback. It goes for Sam and
Speaker 1: Chase and you know any quarterback in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: The more comfortable you are with your offense, the less
Speaker 1: you think about mechanics and you just cut it loose
Speaker 1: and play like not having Well, we just want to
Speaker 1: make sure Lane's comfortable at the right spot. I mean,
Speaker 1: and the other thing too, is with with the tackles
Speaker 1: we have. I mean, you know, Tobe has done a
Speaker 1: nice job filling in over there and and uh and
Speaker 1: then just giving him that opportunity there as well. I
Speaker 1: think I think Tobe's having a having a great camp
Speaker 1: and really um has stepped in so we haven't felt
Speaker 1: the need to and I haven't felt the need offenselee
Speaker 1: to move Lane over there at this time. So right
Speaker 1: now the play, if that was that way the regular season,
Speaker 1: you would go in with bat switch I think. So,
Speaker 1: I mean there's a bunch of combinations. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: it's hard to exactly predict what would happen scenario wise.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean there's opportunities for Lane to
Speaker 1: come over, Tobe could go to the right side. I mean,
Speaker 1: you got Alan Barbie could jump out there. You got
Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly could switch over. I mean, either's a bunch
Speaker 1: of scenario So I can't get into the what ifs
Speaker 1: at this time. UM, but what you're seeing right now
Speaker 1: has worked worked extremely well through camp situation. He's been
Speaker 1: exposed to all the situations in practice. UM, it's just
Speaker 1: now execution. I want to I want to see that
Speaker 1: the timing, the accuracy and the decision making with him. Um,
Speaker 1: I want to see you know, uh, him being able
Speaker 1: to move our offense, you know, especially coming out of
Speaker 1: the locker room potentially you know, the second half of
Speaker 1: a game, you know, and then starting fast depending on
Speaker 1: whether whatever happens at the coin toss and and uh,
Speaker 1: I just want to see that execution. And I want
Speaker 1: to see him lead the football team, you know, especially
Speaker 1: in this first game. What mean, Indian accuracy is being
Speaker 1: high and experiencing when the game Tennessee tightens up and
Speaker 1: it gets better crews given the real boats kind of
Speaker 1: flying worse, it actually tightens up. I would agree with that.
Speaker 1: It it your your your decision making sort of speeds
Speaker 1: up a little bit, and it can It's kind of
Speaker 1: a two edged sword too, because you don't want them
Speaker 1: to be so fast that balls are out before guys
Speaker 1: are even out of their break. I mean, there's that
Speaker 1: fine line there too. But I think overall, mechanically things
Speaker 1: kind of quiet down when when you know you can
Speaker 1: be hit during a game away from punt return schooling
Speaker 1: pre leaving, Yes, yes, I want to want to protect
Speaker 1: him and keep him ready for the regular season. So
Speaker 1: when we got some young guys we want to look
Speaker 1: at back there, so especially early on in camp. Uh,
Speaker 1: definitely want to make sure that these young guys are ready,
Speaker 1: um when when needed to be. If something would happen,
Speaker 1: say to Darren during the regular season, and obviously you're
Speaker 1: not gonna see much of him, would you want to Well, again,
Speaker 1: it kind of goes back to the Carson question. I mean,
Speaker 1: just leading our offense. It's a new system that he's
Speaker 1: that he's embraced and and uh, you know, you'd love
Speaker 1: to see points out of that first unit. You want
Speaker 1: to see, um, you know, a high percentage of completed,
Speaker 1: completed throws, moving, moving the chains. Um. Obviously it's a
Speaker 1: very watered down vanilla game plan, so we allow the
Speaker 1: guys to play fast. It's not everything that we've done
Speaker 1: in camp up to this day. So just just the
Speaker 1: just the overall execution and and and and minimizing, minimizing mistakes, errors, um,
Speaker 1: poor decisions, that kind of thing, and just be be
Speaker 1: nice and smooth and relax and have fun out there
Speaker 1: out here. So far, and I know that they've been
Speaker 1: watching film. You know, you kids, why did you have
Speaker 1: s um? Well wanted? It is very effective in the
Speaker 1: run game. Uh. It also creates some matchup issues when
Speaker 1: you can allow your guys to kind of spread the
Speaker 1: field and and uh put linebackers on tight the linebackers
Speaker 1: aren't necessarily used to and and tight ends are we
Speaker 1: got a good guy guys that can run routes, um,
Speaker 1: and and it just it just uh, you know, it
Speaker 1: creates a little bit of an issue on defense from
Speaker 1: a matchup standpoint, who who's going where. It also gives
Speaker 1: you some man's own indicators for quarterbacks and and so
Speaker 1: um there's something that will continue to use throughout camp
Speaker 1: and then obviously in the regular season. It's hard to say,
Speaker 1: you know, I would go as far as saying, if
Speaker 1: it's like a three and out three and out deal,
Speaker 1: I would I would probably keep the ones in there
Speaker 1: for a little bit longer. It all just depends on
Speaker 1: how many plays they get. I don't have a set
Speaker 1: number of plays. Um, if they go down and score,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe pull them out. Um issue typical first
Speaker 1: preseason ball game. From that standpoint, Yeah, it's awesome that
Speaker 1: you know, like a guy like himself and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, just just the support that you get from
Speaker 1: around the city and and from from whether it be
Speaker 1: a manager, an owner, Uh, you know, even players that
Speaker 1: come visit. I think it's great that that we can
Speaker 1: support each other uh in this time of this time
Speaker 1: of the year, and and uh it's great to have
Speaker 1: those guys out here. Thanks. Yeah, yeah,
