<v Speaker 2>to I want to welcome to the family of Eli A.

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Gonzalez who are here today. Had a chance to talk

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 2>with them, Elia's mom, amazing kids, what a great family

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 2>it is, and what a tragedy it was. And I

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 2>just want to say, and I know we say this,

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 2>but we're determined to do the things that we can do,

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 2>partner with their family, our foundation and others to make

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>a difference in these areas that are experience in this

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 2>trauma and this violence, which has to end. There's no

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>reason for it. And just thank them for being here,

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 2>for the love that they have for each other, for

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 2>the great family that they are and continue to be like.

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 3>We all strive to be just like them.

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>So I just want to welcome them here and thank

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:11.199
<v Speaker 2>them for coming out.

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we got all the.

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Kids out here today again and we appreciate that and

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>we had a good, good practice. We're excited about the

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Commanders coming in tomorrow and Wednesday to practice.

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Were looking forward to it.

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Ron and I have talked extensively about the practices and

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 2>the practice schedule and the format and the tempos and

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 2>all those things, and we're on the same page. You're

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 2>actually going to meet with them tonight. Some of their

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 2>players are coming up tonight. We'll meet with some of

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 2>our players and get on the same page with the

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 2>drills and things like that. That's always helpful. We've done

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 2>that over the years, and we're excited about that part

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>of it too. So we just can't wait to have

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>two productive days against a very good football team, a

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 2>very well coached team. We're looking forward to that. So

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 2>what questions you have to meet with Godler, Well, we

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 2>made it normal to meet with them. Sometimes we do

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>it the day of we're practicing in the morning. So

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 2>we decided to do it, you know, tonight when they

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>come up, they're gonna they're gonna branch off for that

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 2>group and come over here, and I think they wanted

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>to see the set up too, so but I think

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 2>it is normal to just try to get together beforehand

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>and build a plan kind of everybody communicate and try

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 2>to get the most out of it we can.

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 3>General. We kept asking the past few weeks about take

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 3>Dobbinson's out there on the field. How's it feeling to

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 3>have him back on the field.

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 2>It feels good to have him back there on the field.

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 2>He's excited. We're all excited. We'll probably ramp him up

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 2>a little bit this week and kind of work him

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 2>in there and try to be smart in how we

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 2>do it. But uh, but he'll he'll be fine. He's

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 2>he's he's one hundred percent healthy.

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 3>It looks good. He's been training hard, so he's ready

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 3>to go. John, why didn't today work work out to

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 3>be the day?

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I you know, I don't know. I think it just

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>worked out for whatever reasons it worked out. I'm just

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>try not to look at it too deeply and be

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>grateful John.

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.119
<v Speaker 3>Hell's Hell's tias bells are progressing. It does it get

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 3>to a point where they're concerned about him being ready.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>For a record. It hasn't gotten to that point. They

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>feel good about it. I mean, you know, it's just

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>a it's a it's an agitated knee. I guess there's

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:00.960
<v Speaker 2>not really anything other to say about that, and I

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 2>think they are being cautious.

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 3>I will say, uh, and they.

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Feel like today they did say his hee look the best.

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 2>It's luck, you know, swelling things like that. So you know,

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I know he'll be back for the season. But I

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>know as well as you can know. You know there's

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 2>not a serious problem in there. It's just him getting

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>right for him to play to his highest level.

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.959
<v Speaker 3>John, we didn't see James crochet out. There is everything

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 3>going right with him after Saturday's game.

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Sure, James had a contusion kind of a hip back,

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of buttocks thing type thing, so he could have

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 2>practice tomorrow maybe, but I don't know if he will

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>just we may. We may just hold him out another

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 2>day or not. We had a couple of other things.

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Tyler has a hamstring tweak, so we'll be conscious with

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 2>that for a little while here. We're not going to

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>be in a hurry on that one either. I think

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 2>about the hamstrings. You just don't want to redo it,

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, you want to you don't want to re

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 2>injure it. We want We really have been very cautious

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 2>with the ham strings of late, so we'll probably continue

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>that trend.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm toad you guys didn't have very many offensive steps

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 3>in the years to have in these games that impact

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 3>at all.

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 1>How you allocated playing.

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Time for the next year.

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, not for the practices because they're just set up already.

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of even offensive defense. It may have some

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think the starters are going to get

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of reps these next two practices, so they

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't play in the game, so it probably won't pact

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 2>as much as all that. But the other guys want

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 2>to practice too, so they'll be out there and it'll

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 2>be just kind of what it is.

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 3>John, going back and looking at it with the own

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 3>tas Saturn Night, wouldn't the biggest struck for you is

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 3>like that their kings went nation all like, yeah, exactly.

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean that's how you always feel, Pete, no doubt.

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I think I really appreciated was the aspect of what

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 2>we would call winning football, which is why I wore

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 2>the T shirt today. I thought our guys understood that

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.840
<v Speaker 2>we played situational football very well. The high leverage situations

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>we did very well in you know, the sudden changed situations,

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the turnovers we created, some of the short yarded situations.

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought we did really well with it. You know,

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 2>a two minutes and both ends, both the end of

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 2>the half. Then we came out and scored with the

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>first drive, which is a big deal around halftime, and

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>then two minut and at the end of the game

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>and four minute to finish. Those are all things that

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 2>have been emphasises for us, and that was really why

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 2>the game was won in the end.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't that we outplayed anybody. We probably didn't.

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.719
<v Speaker 2>They probably did, you know, because they played very well,

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 2>But we won the game because of those things.

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:16.239
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it's Saturday.

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>You guys had four sacks, look out a lot of pressure,

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>but it seemed like there was a place that just

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>over ninety percent of the way in there and not

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>getting home. Are there any specific adjustments that joll counting

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>for sacks, gfl as ways that you.

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Look kept up.

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean four sacks pretty good, you know, so

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>we're we're not complaining about that, but you know there

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>were more that were close and sometimes you don't get there.

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's a big, physical, good offensive line. The

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 2>ball comes out quick with that offense. You know, they

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 2>got the ball at quick on some seams and some fades.

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I thought that they made some good throws and catches

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>on that was really the bulk of their offense and

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks scrambles. They did run the ball a little bit

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 2>more with the inside zone stuff for their temple than

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 2>we would want to see, so we want to firm

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 2>that up. But mostly it's the seams and the fades

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 2>and the quarterback scrambles is where they got most of

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 2>their yards.

0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 3>We know when the center squad practices, they can get

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 3>pretty intense. Where you expected the intensity level to be

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 3>at what instant.

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Teas, Oh, I mean, as it's gonna be an intense practice,

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 2>there's no doubt because that's that's how these guys are.

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, they're they're they're they always are.

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, the NFL teams always practice very well and

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.480
<v Speaker 2>very hard, and especially when you go against each other,

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 2>you want to put your best foot forward, and we

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 2>want to put our best foot forward in every way.

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna put our best foot forward in terms of

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 2>how we how we execute our effort, our attention to detail,

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 2>and we're here for football. We won't get the work done.

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 2>That's what we'll be focusing on and that's what we're

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna try to do.

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 3>It as some bodies that.

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Jalen, Jalen is real close. Rock Is is not

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 2>quite as close as Jalen, but still close. So you

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 2>know pretty soon, you know, like maybe to the game.

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Arthur Mallett again, real close, same category. Uh, Damarian's different.

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Damarian's gonna get surgery again on his ankle. Unfortunately it's

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna be It's not gonna be a season ender. It'll

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 2>be early season, October maybe something like that.

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 3>He'll be back. But what happens is the screw in there.

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>It caused it bone to crack a little bit, the

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>screw that was in the surgery, and that's something that

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 2>does happen sometimes, we were told. So that's where he's at.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.000

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 2>the fire.

<v Speaker 2>could add some help.

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 3>Is the greatest concern is not having the f guys

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 3>to practice some player? Is it more not getting the

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 3>chance to evaluate.

0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 2>It if you wanted to get it with these reason

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 2>both know I mean you want you want guys to

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 2>get the reps and a value. We kind of know

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 2>our guys. There is some evaluation, but also just development.

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 2>That's really important for guys who miss. But also you

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>don't want more reps going on when you have one

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 2>position get light than those The guys who are practicing

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 2>take a little more rep more reps than you want

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>to take in the day, or more at risk.

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 3>So we're really conscious to that that's very important.
