WEBVTT - Coach Bowles Conference Call: 9/2

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Todd. Do you have an update on Bryce Petty after

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>his m I all right to the bruise shoulder. He's bruised.

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Is is there any structural damage in terms of maybe

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>a separation or just location. Oh m hm hm um

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>sometime I'd safe to say he is. He had by

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>our candidate. I guess technically, what's your guys approached there now?

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>It's too early to tell. We're still waiting see the

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.919
<v Speaker 1>recovery time and we're just gonna assess them this week

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and see how it goes with treatment. So you wouldn't

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>place him on the injured Deserve before the fifty three

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>man cut down? No, m m m. Where does things

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>stand out? Tied in terms of roster? Uh, streaming roster

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>where we're meeting on it at five. We'll go over

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>to coaches that kept looking at an old film and

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>we're meeting on that and we'll be we're making him

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>at five and we'll make a lot of decisions and

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>have them all come out tomorrow. M. Todd. You just

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.559
<v Speaker 1>to be clear, you want you guys won't be cutting

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 1>anyone today. Probably not. We can. We still gotta meet

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>on it, but I would be a lot of guys

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow there maybe some of the day. We haven't met

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:43.759
<v Speaker 1>on it yet. What do you have on terms of Breno?

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Is there any hope that he might be able to

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>return to practice before Cincinnattie? I have anything on terms.

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>It's just about how he's feeling day by day with

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the back. You never know. Obviously, if he's not practicing

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>this week by a certain day, they probably be a

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>good chance he won't fay. Is there anything Is there

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>any chance that Brento could go on the the end season? Published? Uh,

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance. Second, all the doctors on the trainers,

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna see how he's feeling that I went to

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.239
<v Speaker 1>protective time for him to be back or when the

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>drop did the last time for him to be back,

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>as opposed of when he won't be back, and we'll

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>weigh that option this week. H Have you guys decided

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>how many quarterbacks you're going to keep on the fifty three? No,

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna meet at five. Like I said, we haven't

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>not met today. We made at five o'clock and we'll

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>probably be here all night. Do you find how harder

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>do you find harder this year making these cuts at

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>opposed to last year, Todd, you know now that you

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 1>know you have a when you're established with some of

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 1>these players, Yeah, I think it's harder every year. The

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 1>more you get to know him and the better your

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>team becomes, the hard of the custcome because you know

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you're becoming some good football players won't wear the other

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>So it's never easy to cut anybody, But you know

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>it's part of the process and part of the business.

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.959
<v Speaker 1>You cause you separate emotions from this weekend or do

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>you kind of allow yourself to steel emotions when you

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>are cutting your guy? Just separated when you're making the

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>decisions and you understand why you're making the decisions, but

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>it still doesn't make it any less emotional. Uh, some

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>guys you get real close to. But you know, at

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>the same time, it is a business and you're trying

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>to play the best player, and it's it's not a

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>hard decision to put the best product out on the field,

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>but there's a hard decision to tell somebody that this

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>could be the last time in uniform, at least here anyway,

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll possied any feeling. You have the most difficult decisions

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that Notice that's still a couple I men Obviously we

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 1>got some decistem make. There's what I receiver, it is

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>offensive line, there's defensive backs there, there's a bunch of

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.719
<v Speaker 1>positions that's still tight end position. There's still a bunch

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>of positions up in the air that we kind of

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>gotta meet on and go over. So there's gonna be

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>some tough cuts. Did anybody jump up last night, uh,

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 1>to really enhance their There are chances of making the team,

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe an under the radar guy. It looks like everything

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>stays that it's cool last night. I know, obviously you're

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>meeting late a little later on. Wouldn't it be fair

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>to say that gino is is solidified as your two? Yeah,

0:04:55.440 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I'd been fair to saying, Todd, do you, um, how

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>would you set returner in point returning right now? The

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>decision you have that? Well, again, we got some tough

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>decisions to make their Obviously, the hope two guys did

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a great job, and we still got a guy. We

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>haven't really looked at it as much. I can play

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>in chandlers, so we think, well we put back they

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>have a chance to be pretty good blocking the right

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>way as long as they cast the ball ficture and

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I think they have a chance, but it'll be a

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 1>tough decision there too. The two Cockols time after watching

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the film, What did you see from quality? Nigel? Good question.

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I still don't have an answer for you, and I

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>start good in both of them, and I play and

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>photo them. I saw some things that they can work on,

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 1>so you know, also them during the week and we'll

0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>probably go right up in their game. They just Rental

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>can't play, Todd, will u if Jordan's healthy for week one,

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>will he and Lorenzo be your two starting outside linebackers.

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Jordan's got to be healthy to take

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>some reps. I gotta see where he is. So we

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>haven't made that decision either. We like to give him

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.479
<v Speaker 1>some reps in there, but he hadn't practiced in the while.

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Lorenzo on one side, though, Yeah, that's possible. Yeah, Todd,

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>how much trade talk is going on at this particular juncture,

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>which yet probably a lot people are calling doing that,

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>do deal with him for you're calling do another deal

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 1>with him? Any of that might work out or is

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.799
<v Speaker 1>just chatter at this point? Just chatter at this point?

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Everybody good? Todd. I had one on on Christian from

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>last night. Dan. Going forward, he's obviously gonna have a

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 1>long time to think about and dissect that performance. What

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 1>do you how do you hope? He responds. I think

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a matter of responding. It's as a matter of

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>getting better, and all the more you play, obviously more

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>comfortable you get. You're going and playing an NFL game

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.239
<v Speaker 1>with a bunch of young guys that's never really played.

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna be some miscus and mistake and it's nothing

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>to get down. That's something I learned from and person

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>of a bright guy, and he's got a great football

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>IQ and I'm sorry to learn from it. Everyone good.

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Just just to go back to Bright. You said you

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>guys would evaluate every week see how he responds to treatment.

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Does that mean he is definitely on the fifty three

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>man roster? My men, we're valerated him because he's hurt.

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>We'll discussed the sas a three man roster at five

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>o'clock
