1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,000
Speaker 1: All right, good afternoon.

2
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 2: You know, the last couple of days have been pretty

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: difficult as far as cut down days concerned. It's tough

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: on the players, it's tough on their families, and it's

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 2: also tough on the coaches in the scouting department. We

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: all understand the business part of it. It's still very

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: fluid as far as you know, the practice squad and

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: our and our roster as a whole. But at the

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: same time, you know, I told the players privately that

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: I'm very thankful for their professionalism and understanding the business part,

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: and I want to make sure I express it here

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 2: publicly as well.

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: Those guys just.

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: They they handled the news like true professionals, and I'm

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: very appreciative of it, you know, as a first you know,

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: that was my first time doing it. But like I said,

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: it was it was very difficult looking forward to, you know,

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: putting the rest of the roster together, the practice squad

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: and then really just looking forward to getting the team

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: ready to go against Cincinnati this week. For us, it's

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: really about just getting the better, uh, and then next

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: week it'll be about preparing for for a game.

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: Rock You's any information on it?

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,959

00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: You don't Uh, yes, we we've made a decision, just

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: haven't communicated. And and honestly, I want those guys to

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: to hear it first from me before they hear it

33
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: from someone else.

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: Why can't this morning because I'd.

35
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: Rather do it tomorrow, Uh when we get you know today, Look,

36
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: this morning was a was a hectic day. We were

37
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: still working through the roster and things like that. And

38
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: you know, as much as you wanna have squad meetings,

39
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: sometimes the time just doesn't permit that.

40
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: I'll see you guys are here tomorrow. Is that it.

41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: Tried? You mentioned there have been a lot of tough

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: decisions and family cants and that sort of thing.

43
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: Is there any positions specifically that was the most difficult.

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: As you looked at it and said, are to keeping

45
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: seven wide receivers or keeping seven or whoever it is,

46
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: anything that kind of likes stuck out team?

47
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: There are a few of those discussions in saying that

48
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: we feel pretty good at where we are as of today. Now,

49
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: once again, it's very fluid, and so you'll still see

50
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: transactions continue to happen. Not just from our team. We're

51
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: not unique to the situation, but across the league. You

52
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: look across the league, there have been teams that you know,

53
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: they carry twelve DEFENSI attack or twelve defensive alignment. I

54
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: don't know what that means. But once again, the transactions

55
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: don't end today, They'll continue. I can't give you a

56
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: specific position.

57
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Though, or you're talking about collaboration or here the situations.

58
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: How many people are involved.

59
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: With the decisions the league, in the court, howy people

60
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: are in the league setting really?

61
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: You know, if you want to talk about the process,

62
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: you know Alex myself, you know, we just have those conversations,

63
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: but you know he gets input from his coaches as well,

64
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: and ultimately it's my decision to make.

65
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 4: Bro looking at the way, Marls like you're playing two tackles,

66
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: uh the offense, which just after what happened Sunday and

67
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: just kind of your thoughts your rat when you want

68
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: from the offensive.

69
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: Line, Yeah, I mean I think it's very clear. We

70
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: have to improve uh as a whole. Uh, we have

71
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: to improve upfront and uh we we felt like we

72
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: did that with claiming those players.

73
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 4: Right.

74
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: Just we won't get to talk to Marls about just

75
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: when it came to making that decision when he was

76
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 3: a made.

77
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: Of the startin the basket.

78
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to nail down a particular date.

79
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: If you want me to say yesterday, I'm not sure

80
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: what that date is. I just know, Uh, I feel

81
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: like I'm doing what's best for the team and the

82
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: decision that I've made.

83
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: It was it a long process and conversation between you

84
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: an allergy and the section that you guys are kind

85
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: of been lockstep. Yeah, uh yeah, it remains that way.

86
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: And once again, you you have to have those candid

87
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: conversations and you know, you go back and forth, you

88
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: wait things differently, and when it's all said and done,

89
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 2: you just want to make sure you're doing what's best

90
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: for the team and what's best for this organization.

91
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: You guys made it a dispredictionship and it's starting to

92
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: buy from the community that Uh.

93
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: Look, we're still working through that and we just have

94
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: to make sure we have our roster complete before we

95
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: even make that decisions.

96
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: When you made of Jakoby Percent's comments on radio where

97
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 4: he said he still believes he's the QB one for the.

98
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: Team, Yeah, I think all the players, not just quarterbacks,

99
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: they have to have that confidence that they should be starters.

100
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna dig too far into that. That's

101
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: his opinion and we all have them.

102
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: What do you feel like, do you feel like you

103
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: have to when you tell the team who's going to

104
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: be starting for rem do you have to.

105
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Explain it to them?

106
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: Do you think?

107
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: Or do you just make that announcement and that's it.

108
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: And look, they've they've gone through the process as well,

109
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: they've gone through the spring with these players, They've gone

110
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: through training camp with these players. I'm sure they all

111
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 2: have an opinion on who they think should be the

112
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: starting quarter But I don't think I have to explain

113
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: it to anyone else. It's my decision. And look, if

114
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't work, blame me, blame me. Sorry. I would

115
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 2: say one thing. I think it's important to remember, like

116
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: what's good for the team today may not be good

117
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: for the team weeks down, the weeks down the lot

118
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: and so.

119
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: I think the.

120
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: You know, the challenge is you want to win every

121
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: single game now, but also we're trying to build something

122
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: special here in New England. So that that to me

123
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: was you know, that was a challenge.

124
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 4: Yet destination Barmore, Does that mean you're confident you can

125
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: go overturn at.

126
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: Some point or as I just need to go over to

127
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: the possible or just leaving up in the possibility. And

128
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: once again, look, we want bar Moore to be healthy

129
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: and when he's healthy, he'll be He'll be out.

130
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: There in the Sunday's game.

131
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 4: And the performance of the offensive line is just the

132
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: offense and get over that give you second thoughts about

133
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: where to go with the quarterback position.

134
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: You know, I think some of that stuff is being overblown.

135
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 2: I would say we average five yards to carry, and

136
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: you know the quarterback was a one sack and two

137
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: quarterback hits. I mean, if you were to say that

138
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: was the stat line, you would be okay with that.

139
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: Now in saying that, we're still just trying to get better,

140
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: We're trying to get better at you know, not only

141
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: that starting five that we're talking about, but also just

142
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: on the practice squad. And that's how we look at

143
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: the practice squad as well, like, these guys aren't here

144
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: on our practice squad just to take repster in practice. No,

145
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: we look at it from a developmental standpoint, where all

146
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: of these guys need to be ready to play. And

147
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: I think it would be naive for us to say,

148
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: you know, going to that first game where really no

149
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: one has played four quarters of football, to think that

150
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: guys won't have to rotate in there at times, no

151
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: matter what the position would be, would be just not

152
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: right in my opinion.

153
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 4: If you're a left type of position, to see.

154
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: A bunch of guys rot there, you guys play a

155
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: great competition.

156
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: There's been in and out of the lad Evers.

157
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: Issues in there the other night.

158
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: Thearis Yeah Verderian right now, you know he's dealing with

159
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: a little something. We'll see when he when he's healthy.

160
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: We'll see when he gets back out there what that

161
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: looks like.

162
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: Not.

163
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 2: I mean, I think there is clarity as far as

164
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: week one, But once again, I know everyone's focus on

165
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: week one, but I think you have to look out

166
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: the front windshield at times, like how does this evolve

167
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: over time?

168
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: The whole city on them?

169
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 4: Then you bring yourself from the city, or like, is

170
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 4: that where we can dodge the SIGNIFICA.

171
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: Eh, that's that's how it looks. That's how it looks

172
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: right now.

173
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: That's exactly Walt sisue you help top roster over south.

174
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: That's the sac pluster on your reaction scene and how

175
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: it sns you caantasity, she's rosy.

176
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: One thing I'll say about Zapie and look, he has

177
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: been the ultimate professional even before I took this role.

178
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: We've had a good relationship and I'm always gonna root

179
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: for a guy like Zapie, you know, always had a

180
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: great attitude even though things weren't probably ideal for him personally.

181
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: And saying that we think that these three quarterbacks have

182
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: a chance to be better than would ZAPPI displayed.

183
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: What's about the players? You place version glaze first? There

184
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: you go? Alright, perfect, j'y.

185
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: You talked a lot about the competition, competition, competition at

186
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: all repositions, competition in quarterback, and you talked about players

187
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: overtaking each other to win a competition. Yeah, I guess

188
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: what I'm asking you is are there instances where someone

189
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: might have outplayed another?

190
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: I might not start.

191
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: I think I think the important thing for me is

192
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: the full body of work cause so when I say competition,

193
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: it's not just one day or or one game. It's

194
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: it's everything. And like I said earlier, you have to wait.

195
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: You know, there's different wakes to those those things that

196
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 2: they do particularly well or not not well. And so

197
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: to me, it's the full body of work, the spring,

198
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: the summer and all of those things. Which what can

199
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: you tell us about the players you claimed and when

200
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: you see their roles potentially game on the team. Yeah,

201
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see. You know, you watch, you watch

202
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 2: some of the film, you watch all of these guys.

203
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: And we were in a very unique uh situation, being

204
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: third on the waiver wire, and we felt like we

205
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: improved our team, uh offensively, defensively and special teams. When

206
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: you talk about and you get a linebacker that can

207
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 2: fly down the field like that, or you get some

208
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: offensive linemen that could possibly develop into good players. I mean,

209
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: we have to take we have to take swings at

210
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: these players and hopefully when they get here, they'll fall

211
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: in line and contribute to our team this year and

212
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: in the future.

213
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Les, this is a kind of.

214
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: Place since I've been communicating with the swings, we've we've uh,

215
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: we had a conversation with the players that were removed.

216
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 4: What if you're thinking of was that if you could

217
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 4: sub wide receives edition.

218
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know initially, you know, all those guys have

219
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: a particular set of skills, and we're still just trying

220
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: to figure out who the best guys are. And and

221
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: once again I would say, this is the initial cut down. Uh,

222
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: it won't probably look like this in the next few days.

223
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: It'll be different. And so, uh, the rosters still fluid.

224
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: There'll be there'll be there'll be hundreds of transactions here

225
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: over the next couple of days, and there may be

226
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: another player that we're like, wow, we we should take

227
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: a swing at this guy. When you like, yeah, I thought,

228
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 2: you know, those guys competed, Chad competed. Uh sly competed.

229
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: I would say, you know, sl I think it was clear,

230
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: at least to me that Slide was the he had

231
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 2: a better camp. And it's very easy.

232
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: It's v I. It's very easy with kickers.

233
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: There's a lot easier with kickers than it is off

234
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: this in alignment. It's like, alright, uh eighty eight percent,

235
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: So it was very easy.

236
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

237
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: In that regards.

238
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 4: Question as supposed, but more players can claim you expect

239
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 4: to happen either today or tomorrow.

240
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: In the episode. Yes, the expectation.

241
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly the rules as far as when

242
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: you can actually get 'em in meetings and on the field,

243
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: but that's my expectation.

244
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: About the future service the guys that we are well well, well,

245
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: today was it.

246
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 2: Today was a very difficult day because when you think

247
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: about it, these guys were very close to making the roster,

248
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: and you know, we want them to be a part

249
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 2: of our program and what we're trying to build for

250
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: the future. And so there are different avenues whether what

251
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 2: you talk you're talking about or practice squad.

252
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: Those are things that are still in discussion.

253
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 3: Going back to the quarterbacks, just is Elliott in that

254
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 3: conversation all two in terms of yeah.

255
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: I think it's this guy. I think it's this guy,

256
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: Is Elliott way in.

257
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: Look, he definitely weighs in. But I would say, once again,

258
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: it's it's my decision to make and a lot of

259
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: people have opinions and how they think about things, and

260
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 2: I've lost quite a bit of sleep trying to think

261
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: about this stuff as well, but I would ultimately put

262
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: it on me have.

263
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: The nine nine second year players.

264
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: You and Elliott talk a lot about tracking is that it's.

265
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: It's very important, you know, to have players that you

266
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: know are young and you can see the the upside

267
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: and the high ceilings and things like that. Going back

268
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: to what I said earlier, the balance is wanting to

269
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: win now and also developing for the future. And you

270
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 2: know that's my job, that's the coaches jobs, and that

271
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: I mean it's on us.

272
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 4: Just one more of the quarterback they are with practice

273
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 4: today and not telling them yet who's gonna go to

274
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 4: start and keeping that close to the festival.

275
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: How does not change today's practice.

276
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: As far as the first team, second team us, it

277
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: doesn't really change too much. I would say, you know,

278
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: both of those quarterbacks have been in there to start

279
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: off periods or not start off periods. I think, look,

280
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: once again, these guys are professional football players and they're

281
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: able to block out the noise and and I appreciate

282
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: that background.

283
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: Hope that's right. Where have you learned about being up

284
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: at this point?

285
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard from a lot of players that you know,

286
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: Jacoby is a great leader and very selfless and all

287
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 2: about the team, and he's proven those things to be true.

288
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: He does a good job for us in the meeting rooms.

289
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: He does a good job helping out all the quarterbacks

290
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: as far as from a scheme standpoint. So he's done

291
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: a good job.

292
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: Wonderful talking about the meat.

293
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 3: There the south of time, he's aways the first to

294
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 3: run out and can't remember a good players made by.

295
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 4: One of us.

296
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: Great sup quarter about more widers much. It like night Field.

297
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: I mean, to me, it's great and you should be excited.

298
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 2: And you know, we talk about the law of abundance

299
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 2: versus the law of scared city. We talk about that

300
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: all the time. And to be happy for your teammates.

301
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: And a lot goes into any touchdown or any good play.

302
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: There's a lot of that. There's a lot that goes

303
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: into that. And I know one person probably gets the praise,

304
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: but I mean it's a it's a group effort.

305
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, Thanks Ready,
