What is it about 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: Bellinger that he needs to clear to be able to play? 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: And it's a little different because it's about I guess 16 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: the contact part of it. Yeah, Um, I would say 17 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: it's I would say he's trending in the right direction. 18 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: So again, we'll see how it goes out there today. 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: But I'm optimistic for for belly coach obviously not gonna 20 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: some work for war. But when it came back to 21 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: work Monday, what was the general message to the team 22 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: for the stretch run. Yeah. Really, let's get ready to 23 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: go for Washington. Got the next your day here to 24 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: prepare and um, you know, let's take each day and 25 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: make the most of it. So Fluiciana, do you just 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: plug in back in or did that the decision? I 27 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: just say, relative to the guys coming back, there's there's 28 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: still a few days here, you know, let's get through 29 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: practice today, Let's go to the next day. I don't 30 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: want to make some you know, split second decision. I 31 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: think that's you know, one of the reasons we're going 32 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: pads is, you know, let's work a little bit on 33 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: a running game and then let's get some of these 34 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: guys back and see how they operate, you know, and 35 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: contact stuff in general, like you can't lose your drug 36 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: to injury or is that the type they were opened 37 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: the door and yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't have one 38 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: either way. I think we just do what's best for 39 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: the team. Uh. He did okay, Yeah, he did, Okay, 40 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: some stuff you can do better, but um did a 41 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: good job. And Shane's situation something that could be long 42 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: term here, don't don't know that is it the same exactly? 43 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: It's his Yeah, it's just so so um. I think 44 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: we're trying to be smart with him. Um. You know, 45 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: I know he wants to be out here, but you know, 46 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: we're trying to do right by the player too. I 47 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: know you mentioned Zoodo and then the next thing last week, 48 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: not being super serious. What is there anything that's changed 49 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: on that front regarding the CIA. I don't know, not 50 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: too much. Um again, just not ready to go for 51 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: today and center and yeah, I think we'd consider whatever 52 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: we think is best. I mean, if we have a 53 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: bunch of guys out here, we'll roll them in and see, 54 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: you know, how everybody operates. We're talking a lot about 55 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: your offensive line. Their defensive line is a rare one 56 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: with more first round draft pick talents on it. How difficult, 57 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: What kind of difficult challenge do they pose? What makes 58 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: them so good? They're good at the run in the past, 59 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: and I think that's what you know. I think having 60 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: strong fronts both defense and offensively, it's kinda where you 61 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: want to build your football team. And they're certainly have done. 62 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: And I think the last eight games they've given up 63 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: sixteen points. Um, that's without Chase. So they got some 64 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: other good players in there. Um, you know two Bama 65 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: guys inside and you know it's with pain for that 66 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: one year there Alan's you know, they're just sweat. I 67 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: mean they're they're challenging on both fronts. They don't give 68 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: up a lot of points. They haven't given up a 69 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: lot of points here in the last eight weeks or 70 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: six and seven. And I think they play a physical 71 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: style football. Coach Viry got a lot of respect for 72 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: him and how he operates. Um. Their physical on both 73 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: sides of the ball and a kicking game. That's how 74 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: you want to you know, so I think it makes 75 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: a good football team. I realize you always prefer to 76 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: focus on the day to day in the small picture 77 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: of the Cavan. Yes, they suggested that you relayed a 78 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: big picture thought about the season starting now. What were 79 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: you trying to get into I see your players at that, well, 80 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: I think December, when you play meaningful games in December. 81 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: That's why we all do this. Um. You know, you 82 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: go all the way back to to O. T, A 83 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: S and two preseason and in the beginning part of 84 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: the season and now you're in December. And you know, 85 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: I've been on teams that have played meaningful games in December. Um, 86 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: and I've been part of teams that haven't, and it's 87 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: it's not a lot of fun when you're you're not 88 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: playing meaningful games. So, um, you know, let's come to 89 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: work with a great attitude, a positive mindset, keep getting 90 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: better and you know you focused on the week's opponent. 91 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: That's how you have to do it. Um, But they're 92 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: important games. Now. When was the last time you went pads? 93 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: And how does that mean? I guess the objective is 94 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: too we went pads the week before Houston. You just 95 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: talked about the running game. Help that running game and 96 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: how does that help it? Yeah? Well, I think you know, 97 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: practicing and the things that you're wearing help. Obviously we've 98 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: done a lot of it all the way up till now. 99 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: You want to make sure you're taking care of the 100 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: players are fresh. They've had a couple of days off. So, um, again, 101 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: I think this was a good day to do it. 102 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: How do you how do you think your team is 103 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: handling the same recently? I think the way they're handling winning, 104 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: you know, they're they're consistent. Um. You know, we've all 105 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: been in this league a long time. It's the last 106 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: time that you haven't faced adversity will be the first time. 107 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: It's you're gonna face it. Um. Week one, week five, 108 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: week ten. So the approach is to be consistent, like 109 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: the message I've tried to give really since I've been here, 110 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: do you want to get Daniel back into the running 111 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: game more than he has been the last couple of weeks? 112 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: Is that? Is that something that's holding back the whole 113 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: running game? And said, I think, look, there's there's a 114 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: bunch of different ways to run a quarterback. So in 115 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of ways, will you know 116 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: zone reader or who have decision to make and whether 117 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: that's to give to the running back or keep it. 118 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: That's that's some of it. But again we'll uh, you know, 119 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: we'll put together the best plan we can and go 120 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: out there and work at it. For how well, the 121 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: greatest head coaches ever when they get to December, have 122 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: you seen them change their approach with their team in 123 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: any way or how have they conducted I mean guys 124 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: that I've worked for, those two guys are pretty consistent. Um. Again, 125 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: I think each person runs their team their own way 126 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: they want to run it. I think being consistent and 127 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: with your approach, with your process with your preparation. I 128 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: think that's that's the way to do it. You've talked 129 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: about breaking up the season. I guess it's the quarters. 130 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: We're close in the third quarter, were close there. What 131 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: makes you think we're last game of the third quarter? Okay? 132 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: What makes you what makes you think that your team 133 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: is ready to peak in these December games when you 134 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: get to that fourth quarter? Yeah, I mean I just say, 135 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: we're trying to get ready to play this week. Um, 136 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: that's the most important game. It's the fourth game of 137 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: our third quarter here in the season, and we're gonna 138 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: try to do the best we kind of get ready. 139 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: Getting results early in the season. Winning games early helps 140 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: a team stay confident when you go through a stretch 141 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: like this. Um, I don't know. I've been been part 142 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: of teams that have lost early and remain confident that 143 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: I have won early. And I mean it's to me 144 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: the biggest thing as a leader is to remain consistent 145 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: with your approach, to not get too high or lowd 146 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: and not ride any waves. Um. Again, it's human nature 147 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: at times, So your job as a leader is to 148 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: focus on the things you can control. Um. And you know, 149 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: coach him up did you look at ob hasn't played 150 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: this year obviously, you know, and you might play this week. 151 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: So what's your sense of how you guys are preparing 152 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: where you might line up and throughout his careers lined 153 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: up all over last year against you guys who were here. 154 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: Now you look, it's you never know exactly what you're 155 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: gonna get each week. You're always facing good players. We'll 156 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: see how many snaps he plays when he gets back. 157 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: Obviously he's a dynamic guy with where he's selected, how 158 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: he's played. So all hands on deck. Two player questions 159 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: for you, we're darius, Uh. It seemed like he made 160 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: two good players jumped the pick and then he stayed 161 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: with him on the go route. What have you seen 162 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: from him just coming back and obviously he missed quite 163 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: a bit of time. Yeah, I think he's you know, 164 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: the short time he's been back, I think he's approved 165 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: each day out here at practice.
