1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: He heard his m c L last play practice yesterday.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: It should be back sometime this year though they're at

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: the Star practice yesterday? Was it yesterday? Sorry? Two days ago?

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: Last play Wednesday? Yeah? Do you know what the corresponding

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: move is going to be?

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: It?

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: I got a good idea, but we haven't made it

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: official yet, so I can't say he does not need surgery.

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: I think, like you guys, hold me to all this stuff,

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: and Eric, I'm not a doctor. I think it's like

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: six eight weeks something like that. Yes, okay, six eight weeks.

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: I love that asked this question to be a chair.

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Uh, there's a point.

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: There's a point to this. When the play Partty got

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: hurt of the NC Championship game, is there? What would

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: you call the route? I was right, yeah, would you leave?

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: It was a new route we put in for that week,

18
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: so we just made it up. It was off some

19
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: song we heard.

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he had won that route?

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. It was a big one. Ran a

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: couple of times in the game too. I think Deebo

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 1: had one too. It had one big on just couldn't

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: get to him.

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 3: I didn't you put it in for that.

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: Game for that? Look? Yeah, it was an important route.

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for what you're trying to get to.

28
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: Alight.

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: It's obviously stayed in, stayed in for the season. Yes,

30
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: or I mean did you did you use it in Pittsburgh?

31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: Nope? Is that it the more this.

32
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: Debo getting the ball twice on catch and a run

33
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 4: right that design obviously to go with him right off

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: the bat.

35
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: Was there a certain kind of mess head you wanted.

36
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: To No, we just we liked those looks, and I

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: wanted to get his debo the first play of the

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: ball in his hands and and the coverage allowed it.

39
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of plays like that that don't

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: go to them. So it's there's lots of plays designed

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: to go to people. We balance it out pretty pretty good,

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: but it doesn't always work out that way.

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 4: You and John have talked in the past about in

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen when you got Depot trying of pivot more

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: towards physical receivers. How much of that was trying.

46
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: To, you know, improve the run, the run.

47
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 4: Blocking and making sure that you have guys who are

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: capable and willing in that aspect.

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: Not as much even smaller guys. I feel like we've

50
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: always had real willing blockers. Yeah, that actually that didn't

51
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: really have much to do it at all. It's you know,

52
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, I was thought, separation, to me is always

53
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: the biggest strength of receivers. You want guys who can

54
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: get open versus man coverage and how they're wired with

55
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: quickness and stuff like that. But I felt sometimes when

56
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: you passed going for those type of guys, we couldn't

57
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: defeated holding all the time, and not not blatant holding,

58
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: but good holding. When you jam someone, you get your

59
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: hands on him, you know, let him go because you're

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: in tight And that was harder with some of the

61
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: smaller guys and got a little frustrated with that. Instead

62
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: of complaining all the time about not having holding calls,

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: we thought it could be beneficial to maybe have a

64
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: little less of that and get some stronger guys which

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: didn't have to depend on always not getting held.

66
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 4: Some of the guys in the locker room who said that,

67
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 4: but Emmanuel Sanders got here in twenty nineteen, they felt

68
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: like he was someone who, like you said, not maybe

69
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: not the biggest guy, but really set the tone. Did

70
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 4: you see did you see that in terms of like

71
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: what he brought to the table and guys stepping up

72
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: in that as.

73
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean Emmanuel. It was one of my

74
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: favorite receivers of all time. Like I think he's one

75
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: of the most underrated receivers. Like Emmanuel was great, how

76
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: good he was in Denver, how good he was in

77
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh before we got him towards the end, but when

78
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: he came in he was still At that time, he

79
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: was our best separator. He was so good and he

80
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: helped those guys a ton, just not only how he

81
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: was our best separator, but his conditioning. He never took

82
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: a playoff. It seemed he was dead, it seemed he

83
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: couldn't go another play, but once that ball snapped, he

84
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: was full speed. I think he sewed a huge standard

85
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: for that and him being one of the smaller guys

86
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: compared to the others just wait wise, he didn't turn

87
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: anything down. And he always had good technique and stuff,

88
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: and that's all you need to me as a receiver,

89
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: good technique in the mindset to do it paired with

90
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: everything we do, and it was one of our hardest

91
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: decisions not to keep Manual. It was just the age

92
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: with Kendrick Bourne and stuff and how he was coming

93
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: on so we had to make that decision, but I

94
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: loved him.

95
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: Manuel Rock was talking about the value he got from

96
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: being a Scout team quarterback last week last year and

97
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: the things that he learned and what he could add

98
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: to his toolbox. It's a little different situation for Sam

99
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: that he's been a starter for someone was wondering how

100
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: you think he's adapting to it, and does have a

101
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: guy with a real similar physical stature to Matthew Stafford

102
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 2: helped this?

103
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Sam is there's a reason he was

104
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: the third pick in the draft. I mean it's his

105
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: throwing ability and Stafford, like everyone knows, is as good as

106
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: there is at that. And to have a guy with

107
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: his arm strength and can spend it very similar to him,

108
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: it helps a ton. How many people can be close

109
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: to simulating that, and Sam's one of the few people

110
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: who can. So it's real good for safety, is good

111
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: for a linebackers, good for everyone.

112
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: Where is Luter in terms of his recovery.

113
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: He's doing a good job, you know. I mean I

114
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: don't see him much because he's always working on the

115
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: side with our medical staff. But again, I don't mind

116
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: giving days for you. Hasn't hold him me to him,

117
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: but I think we're looking like around week five, week

118
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: six for him, so hopefully I'll keep continuing.

119
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 3: Well, this is the earliest you faced I think the Rams,

120
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: the forty nine, Ersons twenty sixteen.

121
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: Do you do you care what time in the year

122
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: you face him? Is it weird at all facing them

123
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: the earlier? I don't know. I thought it was weird

124
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: last year that our series between each other was done

125
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: so early. I mean, there was so much more football

126
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: after we were done. We played them I think twice

127
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: in the first six games, maybe seven. This year, we're

128
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: playing them sooner than we have. I think in nineteen

129
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: we played them in week four after a Thursday night

130
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: game or bye, we can't remember. So yeah, this is

131
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: the earliest, which is a little different. But then we

132
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: don't play him again until the last week, so we

133
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: know we'll see what two types of teams we are

134
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: when it gets to the last week. It'll be different

135
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: for both of us then. And it's still early now,

136
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: so we totally don't know where exactly where either team

137
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: is at, so there's a little more unknown and there's

138
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: a lot more known. In the last one was.

139
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: A broad game from not playing against the RAMS previously,

140
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: but going through two game plans and you know, the

141
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: preparation of two weeks when he wasn't playing.

142
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: I think it's huge. I mean, we always have certain

143
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: things we got to do versus the RAMS, you know,

144
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: just with some of the problems they present. So he

145
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: got to see Jimmy go through it twice and it

146
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: was cool, so he knew what to expect. He did

147
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: a hell of a job of it this week. Seemed

148
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: like he'd been through it one hundred times, but it

149
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: was his first time really going to do it in

150
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: front of everyone. But it chows that he was always

151
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: doing it on the side last year when no one

152
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: was asking him to do it in front of everyone.

153
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: All right, thanks guys,
