Speaker 1: Indicated at the start of training camp that you would
Speaker 1: maybe have address some of the reps issues in the
Speaker 1: preseason game.
Speaker 2: Does does that mean.
Speaker 1: Fewer for uh BRONC in that game so that the
Speaker 1: two other guys can.
Speaker 2: Get more Which game?
Speaker 3: I mean, I doubt Brock plays. We haven't fully decided
Speaker 3: to yet. I mean usually when we go scrimmage against
Speaker 3: guys that rarely play our starters, that's usually my plan
Speaker 3: going to it because a little more into the practices
Speaker 3: in the games. But I've changed my mind a couple
Speaker 3: of times too, based off how those practices go. So
Speaker 3: usually that's their plan, but we'll say those practices go.
Speaker 4: Plan to have Rock play UH both practices against the Raiders.
Speaker 3: H Yes, I'm not sure. I don't think so. I
Speaker 3: think he's going tomorrow.
Speaker 4: M Yes, you don't have to make a decision because
Speaker 4: there is built in days off this week. But he
Speaker 4: he'd mentioned the other day. Did you have a conversation
Speaker 4: about maybe taking that day off away?
Speaker 3: Is?
Speaker 1: Did that happen?
Speaker 3: Is that it's coming up? I think it's next week.
Speaker 3: I mean it hasn't changed since the beginning, so yeah,
Speaker 3: it's coming up. What are the pros and cons of
Speaker 3: the joint practices and do you prefer them to the
Speaker 3: preseason games as an evaluation tool. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 3: definitely do because you get to make sure that guys
Speaker 3: are getting evaluated. You do normal plays, You get to
Speaker 3: put guys in situations. You never know how it came.
Speaker 3: A game's gonna unfold, what the situations are, who's in there.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you get in situations where you can't do stuff
Speaker 3: based off of protections and things like that in games.
Speaker 2: So in practice you get to get.
Speaker 3: Everything done and you get to learn a lot more
Speaker 3: about the guys, to me than you do in the games.
Speaker 3: Negatives are it's always more competitive going against another team,
Speaker 3: so you want to make sure that there's no fight.
Speaker 3: You want to make sure both teams treat each other
Speaker 3: with respect. And I think us and the teams we've
Speaker 3: gone against have fairly been pretty good about that. And
Speaker 3: I expect Josh and his crew to be the same.
Speaker 2: Play at all in the preseason. I mean, I think
Speaker 2: it's always good to play.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you don't think he has to
Speaker 3: do a lot of guys don't have to, but he
Speaker 3: usually helps.
Speaker 1: I know he had a near interception today, but Sam
Speaker 1: Darnold hasn't thrown any so far in camp. Is that
Speaker 1: something that you were curious about?
Speaker 2: You sure, that's pretty hard.
Speaker 3: Huh. Well, two days ago he was positive. These are
Speaker 3: pretty good at charting these stats. But there was a
Speaker 3: there was a tip and I would I'll bet you
Speaker 3: guys if I oh, are we allowed of.
Speaker 2: That on that, well, I'll take it. No, no picks.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I thought there was a tip that a guy do
Speaker 3: it for and got, but I'll check again.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean is that something that you were
Speaker 1: curious about coming into camp, about what he would do
Speaker 1: with Paul as far as stuff like.
Speaker 3: That, I mean yeah, I mean I am with all
Speaker 3: every quarterback and I mean he's done a good job
Speaker 3: of that.
Speaker 2: But it's that's something.
Speaker 3: That I mean, we don't really look at it that way.
Speaker 3: I would not have known that.
Speaker 2: We we watch each play how it is.
Speaker 3: You see how he performs, how consistent he is, how
Speaker 3: much he can stack up with the type of throws
Speaker 3: he makes, whether he's accurate and stuff, whether he gets
Speaker 3: to the right spot, can you get.
Speaker 2: It off with the pass rush?
Speaker 3: You know, half these aren't even getting off because you know,
Speaker 3: we're not sacking guys out there, So you evaluate all
Speaker 3: that stuff, and that's why camp's a long time. You
Speaker 3: get a real good feel as it goes, and you
Speaker 3: don't try to just you know, put too much into
Speaker 3: that stuff each day.
Speaker 4: I mentioned in the spring one of the things you
Speaker 4: guys wanted to work on was, you know, staying in
Speaker 4: the pocket a little more. You like the all schedule
Speaker 4: stuff and been doing anymore. How is he coming along
Speaker 4: in that area and how much is just getting all
Speaker 4: of these reps in camp on last year helping him?
Speaker 2: I think a ton.
Speaker 3: I mean it's not it's it's it's when to break
Speaker 3: and when not to. And I mean, I think Brockett
Speaker 3: does as good of a job at that as anyone.
Speaker 3: But you know, as the more the year went, you know,
Speaker 3: a couple of times later in the playoffs, just missed
Speaker 3: a couple leaven the pocket too early. Now that he
Speaker 3: had that ends up then has to throw it away.
Speaker 3: But he also kept on the field a ton, leaving
Speaker 3: it when nothing was there. So there's a fine line
Speaker 3: with that and stuff that you talk about all the time,
Speaker 3: But sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad.
Speaker 5: Arrested for yes, you've gone to John or brog or
Speaker 5: anybody to just kind of get an idea where things are.
Speaker 2: With no, definitely not.
Speaker 3: How do you manage to just stay out of that easily?
Speaker 2: Just stay out of it. It's it's not much to ask, no,
Speaker 2: not at all.
Speaker 3: I don't know if cause I don't know if Bos
Speaker 3: has ever done a training camp, and he's done pretty good.
Speaker 3: And it's a little different when you're a D lineman.
Speaker 3: I mean just how you always everybody wants people here
Speaker 3: and you want to do that stuff, but it doesn't
Speaker 3: affect the team as much from a D d N standpoint.
Speaker 3: I have as much confidence Nick as any player I've
Speaker 3: ever been around in terms of how he prepares and everything.
Speaker 2: And I know they're gonna get a right both sides.
Speaker 2: And I'm excited for when I do.
Speaker 3: See you to to kind of grasp where your defensive
Speaker 3: line is when you get to these practices.
Speaker 2: So it was the first part more.
Speaker 1: Will you be able to grasp about how where your.
Speaker 3: Defensive line is? I think a good amount. I mean
Speaker 3: I got a pretty good idea just going against them
Speaker 3: every day. You know, those guys go hard. They're a
Speaker 3: little banged up right now, We'll see how they are
Speaker 3: when we go out there. But but I know we
Speaker 3: got a good d line and just hope they can
Speaker 3: stay healthy. Hope they can keep working on their craft
Speaker 3: to improve while they stay healthy. And as long as
Speaker 3: they do that, things would be good for us.
Speaker 4: And with some other teams hit by gambling issues during
Speaker 4: the year.
Speaker 3: How what length have you guys gone to educate the
Speaker 3: players and staff about the NFL gaming?
Speaker 2: Definitely more than we have in the past.
Speaker 3: I know we did at O t as we did
Speaker 3: the big beginning of training camp, and then we're gonna
Speaker 3: do it again tomorrow before we head down there.
Speaker 2: Jamison, after the corner has gotten Uh.
Speaker 4: Has he opened your eyes?
Speaker 1: And so what are what qualities do you possessed?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's He's made some plays out there, and I
Speaker 3: think he keeps getting better. He takes coaching very well.
Speaker 3: He's been mixing up his techniques and really doing what
Speaker 3: Steve and Dbi ask of him, and the receivers noticing them,
Speaker 3: the offenses notice on them.
Speaker 2: So been real encouraged with him.
Speaker 4: The other day that he felt like towards the end
Speaker 4: of last year he was kind of getting back to
Speaker 4: where he had been previously, that where where is he
Speaker 4: now and how much of a bounce back are you
Speaker 4: kind of expecting from Vision.
Speaker 2: Yeah, last year was so tough on Erics.
Speaker 3: He got heard of the first day of training camp
Speaker 3: never really got right, so he never really got that
Speaker 3: practice that he needed to get his body under him
Speaker 3: and everything ready to go. And then the whole year
Speaker 3: he was kind of just trying to get back from
Speaker 3: that and was up and down, and towards the end
Speaker 3: of the year he started a string enough healthy weeks
Speaker 3: together where he started to come and then the year
Speaker 3: was over, so the off season he had how he's
Speaker 3: been in training camp so far, he looks healthy, looks good,
Speaker 3: and he'll be eric as long as this keeps continuing.
Speaker 2: Yep, Thanks guys,
