1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,640 Speaker 1: So we came back from a trip, so we got 2 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: a lot of productive work with the Patriots. Uh playing 3 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: against any quality opponents you did with the Browns and 4 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Been two very very good weeks for our team. 5 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: I think these competitive practicas other teams are probably the 6 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: best thing you can do for your team in training 7 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: camp in terms of preparing them for the competition they're 8 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: going to see. Obviously, intensity raises up, the volume is 9 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: very high as far as building in the conditioning and 10 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: the fundance for the players. You get some schemes that 11 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: you haven't predicted on the front end, some things different 12 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: teams are trying out while in a preseason game they're 13 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: trying to hold from different opponents to watch on tape. 14 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: So you get a look at a lot of different 15 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: things that you can adjust as coaches and players and 16 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: move forward. So um pleased with the work we've gotten 17 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. We're better team for it. Now 18 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: are focus shifts in the game Sunday against the Patriots, 19 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: and obviously you're ready for the season after that. So 20 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: that being said, any questions you have, how do you 21 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: handle this game, what's what's sort of the plan? How 22 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: long you play the starters, who who gets into the game. 23 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: So we'll finalize all the personnel decisions later today, so 24 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: the players know tomorrow. But as I've said the entire 25 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: time we're handled, this is true the dress rehearsal for 26 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: the season. We expect to play the majority of our 27 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: players for minimum one half uh, and we're gonna make 28 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: sure there's some key positions we have to see some 29 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: guys with a little bit extended exposure to make the 30 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: right decision on the roster. Still some jobs that are 31 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: very competitive for the final fifty three. Will make sure 32 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: we have enough film and evidence and exposure to make 33 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: the right decision. Here, we'll not playing this game, No, 34 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: we'll dress him out, he'll go through warm up, will 35 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: continue him on through ramping up. He won't play him 36 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: or Rudolph won't play in this game. Uh. The other players, 37 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of guys still decisions being made. 38 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: We'll see how they come out today and even some 39 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: tomorrow to see how they're gonna look for the game. 40 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: So I can't give any final answers, and a lot 41 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: of the guys, in terms of say Kuan, our focus 42 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: with him. He had a good productive week all right 43 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: last week. I did a good job when we got 44 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: to New England with us. You know, the volume we're 45 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 1: looking for yesterday with him is exactly what we hit. 46 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: Jason did a good job as far as mixing them 47 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: in in as controlled as we could early in the 48 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: drives where we could really go ahead and predict and 49 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: call the plays to get him out and really give 50 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: them in some space and using using for some things, 51 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, going forward into the season. Uh, you know, look, 52 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: the folks will be really gearing him up to as 53 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: much eleven and eleven as we can get with our 54 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: own team controlling the situations. Then also put him in 55 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: some situations where he's gotta go out there and just react. 56 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: And that's really the biggest test physically come off any 57 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: injury is when you're on the field, it's the reaction 58 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: right quickness and the suddeness you have to play with. 59 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: You have any sense on whether he'll be able to 60 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: play week one or not one way or the other one, No, 61 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: I don't. Right now. We've got two weeks. Right now, 62 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna just you know, do right by him by 63 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: seeing how he practices and make decision based on that. 64 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: What do you think of how he handled that last 65 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: catch and change of direction like near contact. You know, 66 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: did that show you more than you had seen previously? 67 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: I thought it was really encouraging, Pat because you see 68 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 1: it in the drill work on the field, you see 69 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: him doing stuff in individuals. But then to go out 70 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: there and that's really what you're looking for, you know, 71 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: getting the guy really building back because I keep on 72 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: that reaction right quickness you gotta catch a ball, locate defender, 73 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: make a move, has some suddenness and your body just 74 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: has to be able to go and play explosively. So 75 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: I thought that was good by sake one. You know, 76 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: as he mentioned afterwards, he goes, you know, I would 77 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: have gone a lot further than when you blew the whistles. Yeah, 78 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure you would have. But you know, look, it 79 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: was good. He was out there, he was enjoying it. 80 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: You can see the smile on his face. Uh, it's 81 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: good to have them out through those, Joe. In terms 82 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: of making decisions on who makes the team or not. 83 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: At this stage in your mind though, do you have 84 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: you feel you have a clear picture or a lot 85 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: of things still look for graps Well, there's a number 86 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: of positions as still for grabs, and as we'll go 87 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: into every game every season, the best players will play. 88 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: So whoever's practicing better, we'll get the nod that we 89 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: can pretend the game. Uh. In terms of the majority 90 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: of the team, at this point, we have a pretty 91 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: clear picture on a lot of positions. We've had, you know, 92 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: a number of exposures of these guys, whether it's preseason games, 93 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: whether it's competitive practice, its practice here in training camp, 94 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: as well as our knowledge when you know some of 95 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: things they've done first in the past here elsewhere. But 96 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: you know, they gotta go out there, they gotta pay, 97 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: they gonna play the consistency. So there is a clear 98 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: picture for the majority of the roster, but there's still 99 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: a lot of positions that are for grabs. Positions are 100 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: you talking about when you keep saying what's what goods 101 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: your extra attention is last week? I'm not going to 102 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: go into individual assessments right now. I'll talk with the 103 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: team directly about that, but I'm not gonna go ahead 104 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: right now and go ahead and put out you know, 105 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: position is a note to watch guys can jump make 106 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: a jump at that last preseason game and make the 107 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: team who surprised you. I mean, he isn't too late 108 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: for some guys or can they know it's never too late. 109 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: And again we still look at this more like that 110 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: third preseason game. You know, we kind of treat those 111 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: earlier ones. We kept saying more like the first or 112 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: fourth preseason game for guys really go ahead and make 113 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: an impression. You know, this to me is more the 114 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: third preseason game where you're getting your guys as ready 115 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: as you can for week one. At the same time, 116 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: you've got to really go ahead and see a lot 117 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: of other guys are in a competition and see if 118 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: they can make that kind of lasting impression for you. 119 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: Now that we've had a lot of exposures, so like 120 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: one play is not going to make it, but now 121 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: it's never too late. How did the doory come out yesterday? 122 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: He said he was gonna work with the trainers a 123 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, he's gonna be I move around with 124 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: our trainers and all today. Um, you know, the medical 125 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: teams out to mist about this guy where just you know, 126 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: kind of continue with the progression has read to get 127 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: him back with the team. But he's moved along nice 128 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: the offensive line. This these joint practices and just where 129 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: do you think they are right now? Yeah, obviously we 130 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: played against two very quality opponents, a lot of talent, uh, 131 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: different schemes, so different challenges. I thought we handle a 132 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: lot of things very well. It's a lot of things 133 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: that we gotta learn from and clean up. You know, 134 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: it's really about consistency, you know, with the entire team. 135 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: The offensive line's got to play. Those five guys is 136 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: one and again we'll play six to seven if we 137 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: have to, based on having guys ready for the game. 138 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: So so a lot of things A very encouraged with 139 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: and obviously there's still things to learn off of and correct. 140 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: We gotta keep getting better every day. With the back 141 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: to a dory. When I think back to last year, 142 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: you guys kind of had that revolving door opposite James 143 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: Bradberry every week for as long as the door he's out. 144 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: Are you back to a revolving door or do you 145 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: feel Rhadarius or someone else that's stepped up where they're 146 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: that next guy on the We'll see how they play 147 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: within the next you know, you know, Sunday night as 148 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: well as the next couple of weeks. So in terms 149 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: of answer that question, of I don't think there's a 150 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: revolving door. I look at it us. If you're at 151 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: the game, you're there to play. You know, we're not 152 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: bringing guys just to you know, dress out in the Hamburgers. Like, 153 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: if you're at the game, you're there to play. How 154 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: it has is camping. I mean, it seemed like he 155 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: was targeted a lot that first game, and then you know, 156 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: just watching from television, the team like he played much 157 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: better at the day. He's got a lot of the ability, 158 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: has got some good instincts. I think for any young player, 159 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: it's about just getting in the games and learning from 160 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: the experiences. And we've seen improvement the entire way through 161 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: with him. And there's things you just have to stay 162 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: on to correct with every player, techniques and situational awareness. 163 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: But he's definitely got we've seen improvement from along the way. 164 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: He's a hard worker, he's got good competitiveness to him. 165 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: You know, he's a guy that you know you have 166 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: confidence because you know he's gonna go out there and 167 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: give it. You know, he's a young player. That's our 168 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: job as coaches put him a right position and keep 169 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: coaching and correcting him. But he's done enough this training 170 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: camp to show that he has ability to you know, 171 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: develop into that position. He looked off yesterday. Is he 172 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: good to go? Were various. He walked off at some 173 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: point at the end near the end of practice with 174 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: the trainer he should be good to go. When you 175 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: evaluate the offense, like after this week, is it about 176 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: the execution from the game or is it about actually scoring? 177 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: Like what are you looking for in that regard? Yeah, 178 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: to me, based on how we play, this is really 179 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: more about the execution and consistency of it right there. 180 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: I mean, there's gonna be the final score maybe one 181 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: way or the other. Look, we play every game to win, 182 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,559 Speaker 1: you know, preseason, postseason doesn't matter. You know, we're playing 183 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: every game to win. That's just our mindset here and 184 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: how we're gonna do things, and that's where we do 185 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: what however we have to. Uh. But in terms of 186 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: the preseason game, really right now, we just want to 187 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: get our units out there. We keep talking about developing chemistry. 188 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: We've had a lot of opportunities in the last couple 189 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: of weeks against Cleveland, New England to get out there 190 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: and develop chemistry. Thought yesterday was a great day for 191 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: our team. It really was. It was it was a 192 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: situational day to just throw them out there and just 193 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: play out fourth quarter situations and whatever comes up comes up. Obviously, 194 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: you know, me coach Belichick kind of control a lot 195 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: of the situations. Who either extend drives or manufacturer plays that, 196 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: you know, kind of make sure we experience more of 197 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: the situational aspect of the end of the game. I thought, yes, 198 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: it was just great guys that get in the huddle, 199 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: here the play, line up, play, whatever comes your way, 200 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: comes your way, just make it right. Something bad happens, 201 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: get lined up, play next play. So with a lot 202 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: of experience we can learn from yesterday. But in terms 203 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: of the game going forward, it's gonna be about execution 204 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: for us. A lot of guys, uh, you know, we 205 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: were sort of one that injury bubble to play who 206 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: are veterans and who have kind an experience. Darius doesn't 207 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: how close is he did playing on Sunday, and and 208 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: how how pressing is the need to get him on 209 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: the field. Is that KT tell him about. Yeah, yeah, 210 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: So we'll see where he's at with the trainers today 211 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: and keep on moving them forward. Obviously, we want to 212 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: get all of our guys out there. There's a number 213 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: of young guys that, you know, look at just it's unfortunate, 214 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: but there's a number of young guys that we haven't 215 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: been able to get them as many reps. We really 216 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: want to this training camp to really get them ready 217 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: for the season. And as a young player especially, you 218 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: can't lay back on your years of experience. Kyle Rudolph's 219 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: a much different situation. He's played a long time in 220 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: this league. He's got a vast experience in different systems, 221 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: different coaching um. He can draw in his experience and 222 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: getting ready, and that doesn't mean you just got to 223 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: roll the ball out there on day one. This guy's 224 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: got practiced and he's gonna be, you know, his absolute 225 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: peak performance. We gotta get him there and keep moving along. 226 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: But the young players especially, he asked about, you know, 227 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: Barius Williams a second ago. We had a question about, 228 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, getting this guy moving, and they need the 229 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: experience to get them going. No one just jumps out 230 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: there because they have ability or talent and it's gonna play, 231 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,599 Speaker 1: you know, in week one or week two, whenever you 232 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: get out there, like they're gonna play in week eight, 233 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: week ten. Year two year three, they're gonna keep on 234 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: progressing as a player. So in terms of getting him ready, 235 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: whenever we're forward of the the opportunity to get him on 236 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: the field ward and get him ramped up and get 237 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: him going, does he have a chance to play on 238 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: some day and we haven't seen him practice, but we 239 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: gotta check with the trainers right now. I mean, it's 240 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: we've got to consider a lot of things in that, Jordan, 241 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: in terms of you know, Kenny go the vinyl worker 242 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: will work. I'm at is it the best thing for 243 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: him individually, is the best thing for a team collectively? 244 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: Put a guy out there hasn't had a lot of reps, 245 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: that's for anybody. It's like Ted Larson. Ted has got 246 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: a lot of you know, a lot of games in 247 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: this league, right played a lot and got here for 248 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: one game. We could have probably brushed him up and 249 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: gotten ready to jump on out there and he could 250 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: have functioned. But you put him next to a couple 251 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: of guys in there played next to him. That creates 252 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: other issues as well. You want to make sure that 253 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: you can evaluate everybody on the field and if all 254 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden you put one piece out there, you know, 255 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: that's not really on the same page. That affects your 256 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: ability to evaluate other positions as well. You have draft 257 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: You have some draft picks like Ellison Smith and Aaron 258 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: Robinson who have not been on the field. I noticed 259 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: Ellison came off pop, but I mean, do you almost 260 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: have to give them a red shirt you with the 261 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: final cuts coming up? The right shirt you doesn't exist 262 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: in this league. Um, you know, it's our responsibile to 263 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: get those guys ready. However, can The one thing about 264 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: this year you gotta keep in mind is it's a 265 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: longer season that's been in the past. It's a different 266 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: type of year. Spring was much different this year training camp, 267 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: having less time in the spring and leading into the 268 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: first game where you actually have a you know, deadline 269 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: to get guys ready for a game. That changed the 270 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: whole timeline of preparing your team. To be honest, we 271 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: have and there's a lot of things that these young guys, 272 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 1: you know that they get on the field, didn't have 273 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: the experience to get out there and do so we 274 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: have to prepare them however we can. Um, Like I 275 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: said a second, that's unfortunate. A couple of young guys 276 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: haven't get out there and get the experience. But like 277 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: anybody else, we've got to get them going and get 278 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: them wrong. This is you know, look, last year's Avery 279 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: McKinney's unfortunately lost him in training camp, didn't have any 280 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: preseason games, missed a chunk of the season off front end. 281 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: When we got him back on the back ends, I 282 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: explained them we're gonna ramp them up and build him 283 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: up and not gonna try to take him from zero 284 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: or a hundred right away. But he's become a productive 285 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: player force and by the end of the year, he's 286 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: obviously playing a lot more and a lot more productively 287 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: because we allowed him the opportunity to really learn and 288 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: gain that experience a little by little as we go. 289 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: So it won't be too much different with all these 290 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: young players. You're gonna see, we're not gonna take him. 291 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: Just throw them in there and say, hey, now go 292 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: handle a full game, you know, bringing their specific plan, 293 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: let them execute and focus on that, keep their windows small, 294 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: and then grow a little bits you go. You might 295 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: have to carry them on fifty three and then I 296 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: are them. Yeah, there's always a lot of gymnasques the 297 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: roster's time of year. Two quick ones is a ZS 298 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: something you're going to have to manage a long term 299 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: through the season. And then the other one is would 300 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: you like to see Holiday and Daniel Jones getting at 301 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: least some game action before the preseason ends for the 302 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: priority to be like one. So I'd say the second 303 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: part first in terms of Daniel with Kenny, UM, we're 304 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: not gonna see Kenny in the game this week. He's 305 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: not gonna play, So that's not gonna be your out 306 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: of there with to make sure we get that experience. However, 307 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: we're ford before we get the week one. Um. In 308 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: terms of go back to the first part again, disease 309 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: and management. You know, his his came really more off, 310 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: you know, kind of something happened in practice. Um the 311 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: other day we had kind of like calm down. Then 312 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: he got out there and we kind of you know, 313 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: watch his volume the last couple of days. You know, 314 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: time will tell. We're trying to learn all these young guys, 315 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: learn their bodies, learning these new guys. You know, I 316 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: know is he's you know the program he came out of. 317 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: I know they go hard, and they go four days 318 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: a week, they go hard. I've lived in that program before. Um, 319 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: at a different place. But I know what he had 320 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: to go through before. We've talked to his coaches, his 321 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: trainers and understood what he did in college in terms 322 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: of how they were able to manage him to a degree. 323 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: But again, it's the guy that shows the every day 324 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: to work. So you know, for us, we're not gonna 325 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: take the approach with any player of you know, we're 326 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: gonna limit them at this point. They can't do X, 327 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: Y and Z throughout the season. What's that to take 328 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: it kind of on a case by case basis of 329 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: what's best for them. You know, we've gotta be smart 330 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: about we prepare players that we make sure that they're 331 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: prepared for whatever they have to do on Sunday, and 332 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: that's physically and mentally
