1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: So it's been Uh so, we had a good practice 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: yesterday and then that led right into really a lot 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: of evaluations last night. I'd say Joe and his staff 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: were here pretty late last night. You know, the coaches 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: have done a lot of work with some of the 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: some of the guys that we're released. Um, I think 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: it's out there. We've claimed four players, so that means 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: we need to make some decisions relative to put some 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: guys in I R. And um, Joe and his staff 10 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: right now in the process of taking care of all 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: that stuff in terms of practice, squad and stuff like that, 12 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: we're I'm gonna go see Joe right after this. So 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: that's kind of a fluid deal right there. You don't 14 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: have to cut guys before you uh put the other 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: guys on I R. Yeah, there's like a little you 16 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: gotta do a couple of little things there, but um, 17 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: really it's gonna end up being three I R guys. 18 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna put three guys on our are closures Shane 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: Darius and it is definitely how tough blow is that 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: for Shane? Mean to lose him? It's at least eight games, right, Yeah, Well, 21 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: he's pretty resilient Unfortunately he's been through it once. But 22 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: he's a he's in good spirits and um, so he'll he'll, 23 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: he'll work back. He's been already rehabbing and then he'll 24 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: be back as soon as you can start seeing the 25 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: opener and left card worried about what's today's practice? Getting 26 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: better today, ramping up coaches, He's getting close, he's getting better. Yeah, 27 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: were your left gard So who's who's in that? Like? 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: Who we're seeing that spot the next week or two. 29 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: Let's see you until we finalize the roster to give 30 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: you a better answer. You one of the guys, hear 31 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: one of the guys who was the safety pinnock from 32 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: the chance you know, obviously saw a little bit of Yeah, 33 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: what do you guys like about it? Um, you know 34 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: he's good on teams. Um, you know, he had some 35 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: good film out there. You know, he's played in the 36 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: deep part of the field. We practiced against him, we 37 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: played against them. Um, you know, has some redeeming qualities 38 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: and traits that that when the guys watching them in 39 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: the scotting department and then our coaches, you know, be 40 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: thought would be a good claim. Clearly, the secondary and 41 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: the depth of the secondary was something you guys thought 42 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: you needed to address significantly. He picked up three guys there, 43 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: how concerning it has had to you. You know, you 44 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: have to bring in three guys in those spots, get 45 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: them ready and ten days let me. It's much like 46 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday too. That's the nature of of 47 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: being in the NFL and being a coach. Sometimes you 48 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: get guys on a Wednesday, work guys out on Tuesday, 49 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: gotta get them ready to play. So we have a 50 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: little bit more time here than you normally would have 51 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: if you just picked somebody up or sign somebody on 52 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: a Tuesday or Wednesday to get them ready to play. Um. 53 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: So that's were like so many guys have won. It's 54 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: it's really not I mean they can handle it most. 55 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: Most of these guys are pros and can handle it. 56 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: You you just stay with him a little bit longer 57 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: and meet and uh, you know, get him ready. What 58 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: kind of a player was pain on to the game 59 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: playing against last year? Um, he's I just think he 60 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: has a good trace that we're looking for. UM, got 61 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: some good speedies, some size you can play in the 62 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: kicking game. So UM, you know, we'll get him here 63 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: and see what you can do in our system. There 64 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: are three I R guys. Is there a chance with 65 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: all three that they could return to season or any 66 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: of those season endors? No, I think there's a chance. 67 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: So obviously it was very high and I didn't want 68 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: him ago, but they were obviously pretty full. There is 69 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: that is that is Do you ever talk to him 70 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: about that? I mean when you're joined practice or anything 71 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: like that, or about that particular player. No, I didn't. 72 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. That's really not protocol. But 73 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: you guys are yeah, friendly, So yeah, no, I didn't. 74 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: I just think look our our sky outing department and 75 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: the guys upstairs with Joe Brandon and all those guys, 76 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: they were unfortunately got some late night food that I 77 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: had partake in a little bit, but they stayed a 78 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: lot longer than I did. And they've done, you know, 79 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: have met done a great job with evaluating the players 80 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: that are out there and you know, done a lot 81 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: of work on those guys and then giving the coaches 82 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: some some guys to look at. So it's it's been 83 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: a good process for the first time that I've been 84 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: through it. Jack Anderson in Buffalo last year, we like 85 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: letting to see a guard Center Bowl. Yeah, he played 86 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: a little bit both for us. Smart you know, you 87 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: only got claimed by Philadelphia, Um, so you know, I 88 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: didn't want to lose them, you know, I remember, didn't 89 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: want to lose him, but you know, he had an 90 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: opportunity to go and get claimed and you know, looking 91 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: forward to working with him again. He's you know, can 92 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: play inside either spot and can play center to It's 93 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: pretty much for the most part here there at the 94 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: roster you're gonna have for week one. This is your 95 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: first year as a head coach. What do you make 96 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: at the totality of your roster at this point, Well, 97 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: I'd say it's still kind of a fluid situation. Um. 98 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: You know, there's always decisions that that can be made. 99 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: But the guys that that we have out here, um, 100 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: you know they've all learned a spot. Um, and then 101 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: you can only take forty six to a game, so 102 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: we'll have to decide that next. But you know, all 103 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: the guys that we have here, we have confidence and 104 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: that that made the team basically got plenty of time 105 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: between now and Stember eleven. But what what is Candarius 106 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: a situation right now? With is he improving? Yeah? He's improving. 107 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: Do you have any question about him for week one 108 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: and all are I'm just taking it day by day. 109 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: I thought yesterday came out and practiced and had pretty 110 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: good practice. Um. I think he's getting better. Um, you know, 111 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: hopefully we'll be be ready to go. And he's doing 112 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: everything in practice. Yeah, I mean we've we've given him, 113 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: we've kind of wrapped them up as we went, you know, 114 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: the last few weeks and give him more are more 115 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: reps um, so hopefully he'll be ready. Right, there's the 116 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: three guys going on. We have to cut one, you 117 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: have to cut four right now for four? Yeah, no, 118 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: we'll do those three guys. I mean there's there's other 119 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: things that go along with it, but it'll be those 120 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: three guys and then you know Joe right now just 121 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: actually gave me a call right before I got out here. 122 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go up there and see him or call 123 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: him right after this. Yeah, put him on FaceTime so 124 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: you guys can there you go almost Is your familiarity 125 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: with Joe helped you through training, care repared process through 126 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: these last few days. What's the advantage do you think 127 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: of that you didn't know each other? Um? Well, the 128 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: familiarity and you know we've worked together before. UM, we 129 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: have a good relationship. I'd say we have good working 130 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: relationship to you know, I know what's he expected on 131 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: our end. He kind of knows what you know to 132 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: expect from the coaching staff. I'd say there's a lot 133 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: of good give and take. UM, we're in constantly communication. 134 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: We try to leave you know, no stone unturned. UM. 135 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: And that way I think, you know, as an organization, 136 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: it's pretty smooth relative to that's how we structure practice, 137 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: how we look at free agents, what we did in 138 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: the draft, I mean, all the stuff that we've done 139 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: up to this point. It's good collaboration. And i'd say 140 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: good organization. Was any of the stuff you're talking about, 141 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: stuff that you had talked about not knowing you'd be 142 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: in this position when you were in Buffalo, Like not 143 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: not players and obviously, but like just situations. Did any 144 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: of those things arise that you've said, Hey, we used 145 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: to talk about this when we were in these positions. Yeah. Not, 146 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: we're not. We're not there yet. We're just each day 147 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: something else pops up and we you know, we try 148 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: to handle it the best way we can. And UM 149 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: and I think there's really good give and take a 150 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: lot of mutual respect. I think he does a fantastic 151 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: job of of leading you know, the scouting department and 152 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: and the support staffs, and you know him and I again, 153 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: we have really good conversations about everything. It doesn't necessarily 154 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: mean you always have to agree, um, but there's there's 155 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: a really good communication on both of our runs. I 156 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: think good disagreements. No, not not No, are you expecting 157 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: to have the good yesterday? Hopeful? Hopeful? How do you 158 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: you practice squad? Is they do have the veterans there 159 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: is that you want to develop guys? Is every one 160 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: of the next guy up at position that How do 161 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: you bounce that? Yeah, it's a good question. I think 162 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: a little bit a little bit of both. You always 163 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: want guys that you can if you need them or 164 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: something happen, somebody gets sick, or that you can put 165 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: right on and they're ready to go. But you're also 166 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: trying to develop your team for the for the long 167 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: run too. Um So do what you need to do now, 168 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: but have good young players that you can work with 169 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: and and developed and have skill sets that you cover 170 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: it and you know that's the constant thing you know 171 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: what we know. You have seen probably a bunch of 172 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: workouts most tuesdays here, um to see you know who 173 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: can upgrade us or switch a guy and switch a 174 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: guy out. But I think you need you know the 175 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: way it's set up now. It's good to have both. 176 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: I know you don't have the full list of the 177 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: year practice squad before you take a Joe, I figure 178 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: out everything, but you expect you might have some guys 179 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: from the practice squad out of practice to that is 180 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: the plan? Yeah, now who that is right now? I 181 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: mean there's a list I saw. You know, we've had 182 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: a lot of conversations with you know, some of the 183 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: guys that we released, and you know, some guys we've 184 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: been pointed here. But um, I go talk to Joe 185 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: and see. But hopefully that's why I kind of pushed 186 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: practice back a little bit too. So all these time 187 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: frames of when things are coming out and when we 188 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: can get guys on the field so we can have 189 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: more guys out of practice is to getting on the field. Yeah. 190 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: Day to day, both those guys, i'd say him and 191 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: Z's are are rehabbing, doing a good job and getting 192 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: better each day. They're doing any running at this point, 193 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: whatever the rehab is, um, whatever the rehab is, I mean, 194 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: I'll talked to Ronnie about they're getting better.
