1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: All right, it is Sunday, right, the beginning of our

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Detroit week. Just keep in mind we're still in training camp,

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: so we're working on things that we need to get

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: better at UM as we approach our preparation. As you know,

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna play our practice three days against Detroit before

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: we play them. So we'll practice again here tomorrow and

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: then Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will work with the Lions

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: and then play him on Friday. So looking forward to that,

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: looking forward for to a little change of scenery. UM

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: be a good team event for us to be all

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: together and you know, away from away from town. Uh,

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: so we can bond a little bit too. So anyways,

13
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: I'll take your questions. James Betcher under the weather or something? Now?

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: James is um James mother passed away last week and

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: so he is, Uh, he's backing in there there having

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: the services this weekend, and he's back in Indiana and

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: he will meet us in Detroit. Just give you like

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: we didn't do much in the tem period, Yeah, that

19
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: was it. Twofold gave him a little less and then

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: that allowed the other quarterbacks to get a little more,

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: which was good. How do you feel like Davis responded

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: from Thursday nights performance the last couple of days. We

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: responded to, what how do you think he's handled it?

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: Obviously wasn't his greatest performance. He's out there working trying

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: to get better, just like he does every day. I

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: don't think his his demeanor has changed at all. That

27
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: you said the on Sunday, you might have some more

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: injury updates or whatever. We noticed bart Whin didn't do

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: much as you Okay, yeah, he's just a little sore

30
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: from the game, but we'll see how long he's at.

31
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: Are you gonna bring the injured drives with you to

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: con jog with against it? Yes? Yeah, I think it's important.

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: We're there an extended period of time, and so we'll

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,919
Speaker 1: try to bring them. Somebody unplugged here, Well that was you,

35
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: you quit. He's going to take the notes from somebody,

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: all right. Uh yeah, we'll take them this trip. Typically

37
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: we won't when we take one day trips or two

38
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: day trips, but because this is extended, they'll be with us.

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: They'll get the treatments on the road. RJ Mackintosha doing

40
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: and regards to help get better. It's getting better, you

41
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: know again, it's it's an extended rehab type situations. So

42
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: we'll just have to see when he's back thinking the summer,

43
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't, I don't. I don't know. Hard

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: to say, hard to say. How are you balancing you know,

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: making corrections with you know, continuing to install and work

46
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: on things to get yourself ready to the season these practices,

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: it's continuous um and so there were lots of new

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: plays that we ran today, different concepts, getting different guys involved,

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: that are just kind of as you go through the playbook,

50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's a list of things that we want

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: to get in before the season starts. So you work

52
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: on them in practice and then some of them you'll

53
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: use in games, some of them you don't. And it's

54
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: just to just kind of build the depth of your

55
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: offense and defense and special teams. So we're doing it's

56
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: it's it's a continuous process. But I guess what I'm

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: asking is do you put an extra period in for corrections?

58
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, do you know the Lindom practice, there's correct

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: there's corrections throughout and then certainly a part of the

60
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: walkthroughs we we do the corrections, which you really can't

61
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: you don't see. But we'll come out here this afternoon

62
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: and we'll go through corrections from practice and then we'll

63
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 1: do things moving forward for tomorrow. How the next les

64
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: delting here, He's got the taste of the game. Whatever,

65
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: Just play more is get try to cram in as

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: many reps as possible. When you're a young player. You

67
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: can imagine um, an older player like Eli has done

68
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: it for fifteen years, the memory bank of reps that

69
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: he has as compared to a rookie like Kyle, and

70
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: so just get him as many reps as possible. He's

71
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: got fresh legs and young you can take a lot

72
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: of reps, and so we just try to get him

73
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: as many as we can't have which philosophy in terms

74
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: of moving guys who have been working, to say with

75
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: the second team all this time, maybe given him some

76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: first team reps and used that merit based or you know,

77
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: just taking a look at them in different scenarios, and

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: how do you approach that. I would say it's merit based.

79
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: You know, there there'll be a handful of guys that

80
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: that played well last week that will kind of bump up,

81
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: maybe a third string guy that's now a second string

82
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: guy and second string guy that may play with the ones.

83
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's important. And really, when you're

84
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: trying to find your role players and backup players, to

85
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: see them against the ones is a good thing, um

86
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: for the other teams. So and that's why this this

87
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: preparation time, these these three days of practice are good

88
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: because it will be very competitive. Um. You know, I've

89
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: got a good relationship with Matt. As I mentioned before,

90
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: I've done this twice when I was with the Eagles

91
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, and Matt and I worked together on it.

92
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: So the offensive coordinator on one team works with the

93
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator another. So Matt and I kind of organ

94
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: guys our stuff. So we're used to the process, um,

95
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: And so I anticipate it will be it'll be really

96
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: good work. Coach. Much improvement that you normally see from

97
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: rookies going from game win the game two in the preseason,

98
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: you'd like to see a lot and typically, you know,

99
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: just like coaches and just like anybody, when the improvement

100
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: between the first time you do it in the second

101
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: time you do it is is can be great, you know,

102
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: because if a guy did a handful of things that

103
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: he didn't like, you know, you can fix him and

104
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: maybe do one or two things wrong instead of five

105
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: or six, and that's a big improvement. What have you

106
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: seen from Cody Latimer as a receiver? Putting the special

107
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: teams aside that maybe he's a notch about some of

108
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: the other guys in the rotation because he didn't do

109
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot of Denner until last year. Yeah, you know,

110
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: he's he's been He's performed well here. You know, I

111
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: think he's he has the ability to make a contested catch,

112
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: um friends pretty at routes. You know, he's been out

113
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: a little bit, so he's still getting his sea legs

114
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: back out there. You know, he slipped a couple of

115
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 1: times today. Um, But he's a competitive guy, very engaged

116
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: in what we're doing behind the scenes with the playbook

117
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: stuff and um, you know, it's just a matter of

118
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: him getting out there and getting reps running our stuff

119
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: with Evan Devin Ingram. He's he admittedly had a bunch

120
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: of jobs last year. Something he wanted to work on.

121
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: What have you seen in that regard and is there

122
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: anything you've sort of worked on him in particular? Well,

123
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: we work on catching the ball a lot, and that

124
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: was one of the major points of emphasis when we

125
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: put started going to work here is that you can't

126
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: be a good football team unless you catch the ball.

127
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: You know, the obvious it's receivers um not so obvious.

128
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes the linebackers in the secondary you know, when the

129
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: ball gets disrupted, making the interceptions, and then certainly all

130
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: the guys in handle a ball and special teams four Odele.

131
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: Do you consider a practice against another team as risky

132
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: as a game against another team? I think I I

133
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: don't think it has to be um so no, not necessarily.

134
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you've been to evaluate those free safeties when

135
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: the guys are coming in and out with injuries, and

136
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: that's different guys every day. It makes the evaluetion tougher

137
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: when guys are, you know, getting themselves nicked up. So

138
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: ideally they're all healthy all the time and you get

139
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: them the same amount of reps and see what they

140
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: can do. I'm not so sure that's the real world though,
