1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: All right, guys, Um injuries from the game. UM, I

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: think as you guys saw email towards at l UM,

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward has a broken hand. He'll um, he'll get

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: surgery tomorrow. We'll have an update after his surgery and

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: how much time will miss? Um nick both the growing

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: um reevaluate him. On Wednesday, UM, we start to practice

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: probably gold knee contusion. Um, same thing. Well, he has

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: some swallo and we'll see. I'll go throughout the week

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: working out some kickers tomorrow just in case, um demo, Um,

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: he has a risk, should be fine. UM. Jeff Wilson

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: with his shoulder confusion, he should be fine. Also, go ahead,

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: guess Kyle, what is the plan for most day? Should

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: be going back? But will he stay with you guys

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: this week? UM, I assume that he's going back. I

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: didn't ask that. UM. I'm not exactly sure, but UM,

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. Sorry, but I assume he's going back.

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: Kyle with Jimmy Ward, when when you say it's gonna be, uh,

18
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: you figure out how long he's gonna miss. Is there

19
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: a chance you could play with like a club or

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: is that kind of still what you're trying to figure out.

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: That's what we're trying to figure out. I mean, I

22
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: think there is a chance. So that's why when to

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: say how the surgery goes and um, figure out if

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: you can could do that after it. Kyle, did you

25
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: get the sense that with Nick it was more precautionary

26
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: to keep him out after his groin tightened up? Um?

27
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was bothering them today. So UM,

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, you always wanna um use caution, especially

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: with Nick on that type of stuff. But I mean

30
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: I know if he went today, if you practice today,

31
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: you kind of go. Um. So I'm hoping that he

32
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: does better throughout this week. Um. Yeah, it wasn't feeling

33
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: great today. Well what are what are kind of your

34
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: initial thoughts on how you will go about replacing a man?

35
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: You obviously have multiple options there, um, and we we

36
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: we got multiple options as you know, I mean, guys

37
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: are in that position last year. Um. You know we

38
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: also got Dante on our um you know, veteran, we've

39
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: done it before. We got young guys. You know, as

40
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: you guys saw Womack as a possibility and um, you

41
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: guys saw and Amory held that role pretty good last

42
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: year to towards into the year, So we'll figure it

43
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: out this week. Um, but we haven't made our mind

44
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: up yet. I know it's all very you know it's

45
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: very soon. But have you had a chance to talk

46
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: to an annual and and knowing obviously that he's in

47
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: his contract here, have you have you had time to

48
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: kind of express how much uh you'd like to keep

49
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: him around? And I have not gotten a chance to.

50
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: He's been way today. Um. But I know he knows

51
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: how I feel. I've told him that before before the injury,

52
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: so um, and I know I feel the same, if

53
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: not stronger. So it was real sad, unfortunate thing happened

54
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: to him. He was playing the gass off too, and

55
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna be very missed this year and really really

56
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: hope to happen back next year. Kind of into the future.

57
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: I know you indicated Barette isn't probably ready this week,

58
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: but into the future. Is here a viable option as

59
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: far as it was being a candidate to start at

60
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: most responsible? Oh yeah, I mean if Ret good to go,

61
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean he's um, you know, breaths of big time corner. Um.

62
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: So if if Breck can get these practice reps and

63
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: get out there and get um fully healed and get

64
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: back into that game shape and ready to go. I

65
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: mean he ended up being our guy. I know, I

66
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: know it's just the games, but can you, um, it

67
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: seems like you're you've taken key players more than your

68
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: fair share are getting injured. Is there anything you can

69
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: does it seem like that to you? And is there

70
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: anything you can point points to why that's happening that

71
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: key players get injured In terms of it just seems

72
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: like you guys have had more than your fair share

73
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: of very important players getting injured in the last three years. Yeah.

74
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: Um oh, I mean I think it happens to other

75
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: teams too, so I don't want to say were the

76
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: only ones, but um yeah, it's a challenge when it happens.

77
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: Um oh, just do you hope to have better luck?

78
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: I'll After the game, George was talking about how it

79
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: probably would be who the league to have similar services

80
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: if they are going to be artificial across the league

81
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: so that it's consistent. Do you think that would help

82
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: it on? Um? I don't really know. I just I

83
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: know how much everyone prefers grass, and I think George

84
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: said it best. I think yesterday when Um, I mean

85
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: we have we have concerts in our stadium all the time.

86
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: I think Elton John played there this weekend. Um, and

87
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: I just love that we always get graphs and then

88
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: it's always new and they always resotted, and UM, I

89
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: know you gotta do some extra stuff to get that done,

90
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: but I can't tell you how big of a difference it.

91
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: Make sure us, UM, glad that we don't have to

92
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: deal with that stuff in our stadium. Just give out

93
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: injury history. Well you put it. I mean, it would

94
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: be quite a story if he was able to come

95
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: back and kind of flashes was it two thousand and four.

96
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: I guess you're you're clearly enough plenty pass. I'm definitely

97
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: not putting it past them. I mean j V is

98
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you guys have seen a little bit

99
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: of him just being around him. I mean, he is

100
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: he is, uh, he is a very impressive person. And

101
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: he's gone through as much bad things in his career

102
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: that he has continually had to try to overcome. And man, well, well,

103
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean playing the whole year in two thousand twenty,

104
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: in the type of year he had before, all the

105
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: things that happened before that was unbelievable, and he had

106
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: the can had to setback the next year in Week

107
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: one verse Detroit, and he's been working like he always

108
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: has to come back from that and um he's gotten

109
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: done the work to where he's healthy enough to get

110
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: into practice now. But UM, we just need him to

111
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: practice some so he can make sure that he can

112
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: hold up through all everything and get his skill set back.

113
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: And UM, if he does do that, I think I

114
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: think you guys know, just like most of the people

115
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: in this league know how good of a corner j

116
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: V is. How did how did Jimmy Words get his

117
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: hand broken? And just you know, was he in distal?

118
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: He's just after you know, just making his debut in

119
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: one play. It may happen on the opening kickoff, Um,

120
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: so did it on the first kickoff, and Jimmy Ward style,

121
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: he just truly he didn't one except that it was broken.

122
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: So he stayed in there for the next play. Um

123
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: a couple of plays and they finally realized it was

124
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: actually that happened to him on the first play first

125
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay into that was an eighteen also, Um, so

126
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: it was just unfortunate and hopefully, UM, the surgery will

127
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: go well. And UM, they'll be able to come back

128
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: and help us. But it's just a bad break. You

129
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: got so one more. Yeah, Kyle, just do you have

130
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: any kind of general thoughts on you know, the nature

131
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: of your business when you know you arrived in West

132
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: Virginia and find out the next morning that you know,

133
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: the coach Matt Rule that you coach against the previous

134
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: day has been let go from his job, and just

135
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: wondering how that how that struck you. UM, it never

136
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: feels good at all. I mean, of course it's UM

137
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: and we all compete against each other and stuff, but

138
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: we also, UM can relate to each other a ton

139
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 1: and it's UM. You don't just think about the head coach.

140
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: You think about all the other people involved to UM,

141
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, the whole staff, all their families. UM. It

142
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: puts a lot of stuff up in there. And that's why,

143
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, every every single decision that you make, I

144
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: always think about, you know, where my kids are gonna

145
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: go to school to the next season based off of it.

146
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: And you know, I just had that growing up. You know,

147
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: I've told it, said it a lot, but that's the

148
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: first place in my life I've lived longer than four

149
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: years UM, and I said, that is part of this business,

150
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: so everyone knows it. That's what you signed up for. UM,

151
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: But you also know how tough that is on the

152
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: individual and all the families and people involved in it.

153
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: So you never wish that on anybody. And UM go

154
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for Matt UM. And I hope you, um,
