1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: You know, with their situation in the offensive line, he's 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: gonna have a chance to compete to to maybe be 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: their starter. So I'm pretty familiar with their situation, and um, 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: he's going to a very good place. So I'm happy 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: for him because he's a I mean, he's a real 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: likable guy, works hard, he's tough, and I feel like, um, 7 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: you know, if you can't be here, I tell the 8 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: players all the time, we want you all to be here. 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: If you can't be here, we want you to be 10 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: somewhere good. And that's a good place. That obviously general 11 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: managers or got that kind of thing. But did you 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: like did you were you involved in where he went? 13 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: Basically yeah, but you're right, general managers do. But there's 14 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: there's obviously conversation as we go. We talked, We talked 15 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: about it. What was it about John Halapio that you 16 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: liked over Brett that you decided to go in that 17 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: direction with him as your starter? At this point, they're 18 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: real The story is we traded you know, Jonesy, but 19 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: we like what hal Apeal has been doing, so, um, 20 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: you just like the way he's playing. How unique is 21 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: that to Toulou? I go for practice just feel traded 22 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: like that. Uh, it's happened before, and you know at 23 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: that point, because you know we've made a deal, we 24 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: want to get them out before, you know, so it 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: doesn't get banged up. But that that that's I don't 26 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: know if it's common, but it's happened before. What makes 27 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: you want you know, you say, how much like the 28 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: unit people he has shot through his storic center and 29 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: that's could be valuable. Doesn't want to do well? We 30 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: feel you know, we feel like we're gonna make decisions 31 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: based on what's best for our team. We again, I 32 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: like all the players that we have out here, and 33 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: I want them all to have success and I want 34 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: them all to be on a team. And we just 35 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: felt like it was this is just part of doing business. 36 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: How much was this I know this isn't exactly your lane, 37 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: but how much was his salary? And part of that, 38 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: I mean obviously got paid more than I don't worry. 39 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that. How much of having a 40 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: guy like reccom make this more palatable? Yeah, I mean, 41 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: you want to have centers in building, and we've got 42 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: you know, we do have other guys that can play 43 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: center in the backup role is an encouragency out there 44 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: running around Evan Ingram. Yeah, yeah, very encouraging. Um, as 45 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: we know, he's in the protocol, so I don't have 46 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: much to add, but um, he's working his way through it. 47 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: What do you like about Dabrell Adams? Obviously there's you 48 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: can get commercy reps now with Evan down and in 49 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: a game when Allison went down, when do you like 50 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: my drill? A? Well, he's got good size, you know. 51 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: I think he's a good blocker as well as a 52 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: pass receiver. So he's a guy that can do both. 53 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: And I do think he's made some good improvements. Um, 54 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: you know through the spring and non training camp coaches 55 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: they're concerned at all. But the way the running game, 56 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: are you going right now or do you know fully 57 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: well that it's going to improve better once focalley he's 58 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: able to play on a regular basis. Well, the running 59 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: game is certainly when you run the ball, well, it's 60 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: a team thing. And when you don't run the ball 61 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: at least early in the game, game and that's really 62 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: that that's really the narrative right now, early in the 63 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: game we haven't run the ball as well as we 64 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: want to regardless of who's in there playing. We found 65 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: a way to move the ball as the game goes along. Um. 66 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: So you know, it's a team thing and we're working 67 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: on it to improve those you know, those early game runs. 68 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: And I think that's the important piece. You You expressed 69 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: the confidence that Jonathan is going to be able to 70 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: be productive this season, right, what, how do how do 71 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: you do that? How do you know when a players 72 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 1: has come to the end of their productivity? Well, I 73 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 1: think you never totally know, but I know he's a pro, 74 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: and I know the history behind how offseason training has 75 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: gone for him, you know, because we have intimate knowledge 76 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: about him as a player as he goes through the year. So, um, again, 77 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: we trust, we trust Jonathan and we trust that he'll 78 00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: be productive. Borrowing as far as progress, Yeah, he's making 79 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: he's day to day. He's making good progress. He hasn't 80 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: been on the field and you need to day to day, 81 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: day to day. What's your plans for Thursday? When do 82 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: you see the stars playing at all? Wow, we'll kind 83 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: of announce that as we go, but we'll figure that 84 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: out as we go. They'll probably be some players that 85 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: don't play this week. Or now from behind the curtain. Really, 86 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: he's like the great Odds over here. Yea more kind 87 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: of an interesting here. I think you gave him some 88 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: of the first team raps and then obviously you can't 89 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: play in the first more games, So does he get more? 90 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: How you handle this practice workload knowing that he can't play. 91 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: We're training him as much as we can until you 92 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: know he's gonna leave us for a month, so to 93 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: speak right, It doesn't you know, need to sound weird, 94 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: but he's just not gonna be here for a month. 95 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: So we're gonna try to get him as much training 96 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: as we can until he's not with us.
