1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Guy's being Wednesday, say, we shifted our focus to Cleveland 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: on everything we're doing moving forward. You know, obviously with 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: this team, it's one of the more historical organizations the NFL. 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: The great history about knowing it through Paul Brown and 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Jim Brown and the great players and coach have come 6 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,159 Speaker 1: to that organization. We have a lot of respect for 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: the history of the league and history of teams, and 8 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: this one is no different. We start out this morning 9 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: in terms of talking about the history of Cleveland and 10 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: the impact they've had on the league. At being said, 11 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 1: shifting our gear to what they're doing now. Obviously it 12 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: all starts right now with how they're putting this team together. 13 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: They're very, very talented and very explosive. I think all 14 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: three sides of the ball are firing and working with 15 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: full gas. You know, Kevin does a tremendous job right 16 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 1: now tying together all three phases and playing complimentary football. 17 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: You know, obviously the offense goes through Kevin. You see 18 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: a lot of his influence from previous stops in Minnesota 19 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: and different coaches worked under. I think he's doing a 20 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 1: really good job right now mixing it up, keeping defenses 21 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: on their toes established on running game, making big chunk 22 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: plays down the field off the play action passes, and 23 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: obviously he's really putting Baker in a situation that he 24 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: can go ahead and be an athlete, you know, and 25 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: be explosive making plays down the field either with his 26 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: arm or his legs. You know. Defensively, Joe Wood has 27 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: done a great job, not too different from a lot 28 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: of guys we've played so far in recent weeks. You know, 29 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: defensive back mentality really secures up the coverage and then 30 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: the front is very talented, so it creates a lot 31 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: of plays and opportunities for tight coverage on the back end. 32 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: You know, as a result of how they play up front, 33 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: tied into the back end with tight coverage just led 34 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: to a lot of turnovers. This team is a strip 35 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: and punch team. His team is an opportunity opportunistic team. 36 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: Off of tips for interceptions, we have to do a 37 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: good job of creating separation coming back, Protecting leverage at 38 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: the top of the route to be a tremendous challenge 39 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: this week, protecting and getting open. They're very good in 40 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: both elements right there, and then the kicking game. Look, 41 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: Prief is one of the best coaches in the league. 42 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: This guy does a tremendous job. He's a game plan coach. 43 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: He knows how to use multiples to go ahead and 44 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: mismatch what you're doing. Uh, he's got a history at gimmicks. 45 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: We've got to be very alert. They really show up 46 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: on the road if you look after his history, not 47 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: only this year in Baltimore at the opening point of 48 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: the year, but you tie back and when he's in Minnesota, 49 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: whether it's in Pittsburgh in Chicago, you know he's gonna 50 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: look to go ahead and have an opportunistic play to 51 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: give him some you know, momentum and make a big play. 52 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: So again, you know, it's gonna take a lot of 53 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: communication from our units across the board. It's gonna take 54 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: a lot of physical play up front on both sides 55 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: of the ball, and we have to do a good 56 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: job in a kicking game of covering, of covering so 57 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: other's people's jones back deep or Landry and a got 58 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: to have a situation. They have aggressive vertical returners who 59 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: will take the most of their opportunities to make you pay. 60 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: So that being said, I'll lopen up any questions you 61 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: guys may have a coach. How helpful is having Freddy 62 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: Kitchens this week, just giving his familiarity with the Brown's roster. Yes, 63 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: I don't think it's anything unique. I mean, really, any 64 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: team you play in the National Football League, their familiarity 65 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: with players and coaches. We're always trying to use everything 66 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: we have. If Freddie has been a tremendous aid the 67 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: entire season and the way he helps with game planning 68 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: and scattering reports. Obviously the knowledge he has of these 69 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: players this week, you know, has helped a little bit. 70 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: But then the tape really confirms what he says on 71 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: the front end. So look, Freddie did a great job 72 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: with these players. Knows him inside out and knows him 73 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: very well. He's been very direct and honest in terms 74 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: of what their strengths are, what we really have to 75 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: prepare for. The tape confirms what he said, But really 76 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: it's going to be not some wunch the knowledge from 77 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: previous years, but knowing what they're doing schematically this year 78 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: and our players playing this Sunday for sixty minutes. Mary, Yeah, hey, coach, 79 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: just wondering with you know, with Myles Garrett, will will 80 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: that impact your decision on playing Daniel or have you 81 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: already decided that Daniel is starting this game. I haven't 82 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: decided either way with Daniels, so I'll go and ance 83 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: that right now. Uh, he came out, there's really nothing 84 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: worse for the wear with the previous injury. He did 85 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: come out with some bumps and bruises. There's another, uh, 86 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: lower leg issue we're dealing with right now. We're gonna 87 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: go ahead and move around to practice. They see where 88 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: he's at. I'm gonna give him opportunity this week to 89 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: work through practice and see how he moves and how 90 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: he reacts with things. Again, if he can defend himself 91 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: properly in the pocket I've said before and obviously how 92 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: we'd handled it. If he's not at risk beyond you know, 93 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: any normal game, then we'll go ahead and give me 94 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: the opportunity to play. If we think that's an issue 95 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: that he can't go out there and defend himself, that 96 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: will make the best decision for him long term and 97 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: the team as well. That being said, look, you can 98 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: talk about Miles all you want, and this guy's a 99 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: phenomenal talent, but you can't just look at one player 100 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: on their team. So their entire front is very very talented. 101 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: So whether there's Miles on one side, or ov or Clayborne, 102 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: you can go ahead and pick one. You know, you've 103 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: got the d tackles inside to do a great job 104 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: with the pass rush, and they penetrate on the run game. 105 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: So to me, we've got to protect cat all these 106 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: guys up front. We have to handle the movement with 107 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: the handle, the blitz that come off the edge, and 108 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: these are very fast flow linebackers. So again they all 109 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: tie together. There's a tremendous amount of talent on this team. Really, 110 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: no one person on dictate or influence how we pick 111 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: to choose any one of our players. It ties back 112 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: into the individual health and the best decision we can 113 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: make for the team. Thank you, Tom Whether, thank you, 114 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: hey coach. Just wondering what your impressions are Baker Mayfield 115 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: and some of the Tay people want them so far 116 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: this year. Well, I mean, look, obviously I've watched this 117 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: guy for several years. I think the thing that stands 118 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: out about him above all is this guy's an elite competitor. 119 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: I mean he really is. He's a tough dude. You 120 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: know his story, you know how he went through college, 121 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: had to walk on twice or two starting jobs. Look 122 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: at it's no coincidence guys having tremendous success in the 123 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: National Full All League. I love the attitude he plays with. 124 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: I love the chippiness he plays with. This guy extends plays. 125 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: You know, one thing he does it's really fun to watch, 126 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: and you want to eliminate that fun element when you're 127 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: playing them. But when he's really condensed in the pocket, 128 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, he finds those small seams really seep out. 129 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: A lot of quarterbacks that you say are mobile quarterbacks 130 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: rely on really just losing ground and gaining an edge 131 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: and using their speed. I think this guy does a 132 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: great job of playing freeze, tagging a phone booth and 133 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: coming out the winner. And he really squeaks his way out, 134 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: extends to play, and he can either run the ball 135 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: vertically or throw it down the field. So look, this 136 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: guy's a tremendous competitor. He's got a strong arm. I 137 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: mean that's not a question you can make every throw. 138 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: He really ties into the bootlegs and the play actions 139 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: off the run game they have. I mean, look with 140 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: Chubb and Hunt, I mean these are two of the 141 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: elite backs in the league right there, So you put 142 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: those three together, Chubb Hunt, you know, and then Baker. 143 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: I mean, three of them really compliment each other across 144 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: the board. They've got a very good offensive line and 145 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: they've got a great receiving corps. This is a very 146 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: talented group. With Daniel, we saw him limping a little 147 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: bit on his other leg. Um is that the other 148 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: lower leg issue you're talking about. It is Paul, it 149 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: is and uh, and that was part of the you know, 150 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: the thing that we noticed at the end of the 151 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: game last game. To be honest with you, that was 152 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: part of the communication, not through any negligence on our part. 153 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: But again I've told you about Daniel, he's a tough, 154 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: tough competitor. Uh. He's not gonna be very early to 155 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: tell you that he just has a boo boo. Um 156 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: this guy. You know, it takes something serious for him 157 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: to kind of open up and give information about what's 158 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: going on. And you've gotta really see it with your eyes. 159 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: So we obviously noticed that, you know the other day. Um, 160 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: we got Colt in the game. We'll see how he 161 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: moves in practice. We'll see how this progressive throughout the week. Um. 162 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: I can tell you that he's optimistic. But I'm gonna 163 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: tell right now if his left arm was, you know, 164 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: attached by rubber band. He who tells you figure out 165 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: our way to get it done. So what to see 166 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: him through practice week? Are you gonna have to monitor 167 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: that the snaps with him and Cult, you know, kind 168 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: of get Cult even more up to speed with snaps. 169 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: We do that anyway, Paul, I think today will tell 170 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: us a big part of the story. So we're gonna 171 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: go today and practice behalf that fundamental deal we do 172 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: where it's about fifty minute practice in pads, hitting full speed, 173 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: moving around competitive, and then we'll drop the pads off 174 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: and we'll finish with really more of a walk through 175 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: install to make sure we get some extra plays and 176 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: take a little bit of our guy's legs. This time 177 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: of the year, I there, so we'll kind of get 178 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: the best of both worlds. We should get a good 179 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: glimpse of Daniel today in terms of how he's progressed, 180 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: and then tomorrow be a big day for him as well. 181 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: Thank you at Leonard, Joe. Every team's offense has like 182 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: clear top players. You're trying to get the ball too, 183 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: but you know, think of like Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. 184 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: Everybody knows he's throwing to him, but they still make 185 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: it happen. You know, as a as a coach, what's 186 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: the key to getting the ball to your best weapons 187 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: on offense even when the other team knows that it's coming. Well, 188 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier said than done, you know. I 189 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: think there's a different some different ways you can do 190 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,119 Speaker 1: it based on who those players are. It's obviously easier 191 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: to get to a running back where you just turn 192 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: and hand it. When you're talking about receivers in space, 193 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: pat it's gonna have a lot to do with making 194 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: the best decision if they're double covering somebody. You know, 195 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: normally that's not the best avenue to go to. And 196 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: that's why you have to trust in your other players. 197 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: Depending on the coverage that are playing or how they're 198 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: matching in that game, You've got to go ahead and 199 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: make sure you can adjust your game plan and get 200 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: the ball spread out. One thing I think we've done 201 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: a very good job of this year is Daniels already 202 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: spread the ball accordingly throughout the game. We've had a 203 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: lot of guys with production hasn't really been top heavy 204 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: with one guy or another, and that's something we really 205 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: want to be as an offense. And tell about balance. 206 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: Balance to me as being on a run and pass 207 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: when you have to, okay, and when you want to. 208 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: And then also balance in the past game to me 209 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: is mixing around the receivers, not letting someone keen on 210 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: one focal guy. Um. Look, obviously every wants to get 211 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: the ball to certain guys by certain play calls. Pat 212 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: but if they go out there and they do something 213 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: to take them away, then you've got to go ahead 214 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: and go to your next option to make sure they 215 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: can make a play as well. Hey, Joe, obviously we're 216 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: in with either of these teams a couple of years ago, 217 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: But what was your perspective on the big trade uh 218 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: that sent O'Dell there and uh brought brought Peppers here 219 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: and and Kevin to a couple of draft picks. Uh. 220 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: You know, what did you think of it at the time? 221 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: It probably created quite a few waves throughout the league. 222 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: I would think, you know, look, it's it's tough to 223 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: really make an assessment when you're not inside the building 224 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: at the time of what's going on. I'd say this, 225 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm very happy Peppers is here with us and Zeitler 226 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: as well. I mean, look, I'm really glad those guys 227 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: are part of our team that that was able to 228 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: happen that we have them here. Um. Look, I've only 229 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: know through working him out coming out of college and 230 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: playing against him within the league. That's all I could 231 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: talk to you about it. And he's a fiercely talented guy, 232 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: very competitive guy. I have a tremendous amount of respect 233 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: for him as a player. I don't know all the 234 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: inner workings that happened in the building, to be honest 235 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: with you, one, since I've taken this job, that's something 236 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: that's been in the past. I haven't dwelt a lot 237 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: on that part of it. We've really looked forward with 238 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: everything we've been doing. I know he's a tremendous player 239 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: in this league. He's a great talent. You don't want 240 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: to see anybody hurt. Okay, So I hope he does 241 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: get healthy and go out there and compete again. And 242 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: where is where's Blake coming off his injury last week? 243 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: You know, I think like everyone's get a little bit 244 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: bumps and bruises. Um, you know, coming out of the game, 245 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: I think it's all positive. You know, he should be 246 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: out there with no restrictions today and practice. That's one heard. Hey, Joe, 247 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: I just wanted to be clear with Daniel. Now is 248 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: the other injury? The bigger concern this week is that 249 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: the hamstring. The polls like, how is you? How are 250 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: you evaluating that? Yeah? Actually we're evaluating both then, So 251 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that the hamstring from last week, 252 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: see how that came out. Again, we haven't really moved 253 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: him around yet since that. I want to see if 254 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: there's a wear and tear, any kind of fatigue that's 255 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: gonna set him back. And as well as the other one, 256 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: like anybody else dealing with some things right now, we 257 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: have to valuate where he is with that as well. 258 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: So we're evaluating both. We're evaluating both equally. I wouldn't 259 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: say one's more of a concern than the other right now, 260 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: dan Um, but we gotta look and see how he 261 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: moves throughout the week. And then one thing you said 262 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: a couple of times since the game that there was 263 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: you maybe would have played cold situationally, I don't know 264 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: if that's a game plan thing you can't share, well, Like, 265 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: what do you mean by that, in terms of playing 266 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: you don't usually play a quarterback situationally, so I don't 267 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: care what you meant by that. Well, I mean I 268 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: have no problem with doing that, to be honest with you. 269 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: If there's a package that could help us with anybody 270 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: on this team, I have no problem rolling goes through 271 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: and do whatever is best for the team. So in 272 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: terms of situationally, with Colt, we always have a package 273 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: for him, and that goes into whether or not he 274 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: has to come in by need or just by game 275 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: plan to have a wrinkling change it up. Again, I 276 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: always take the attitude if you're at the game, you're 277 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: ready to play. If they're at the game, have something 278 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: for him to do. So that to me is all positions. 279 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: That includes the quarterbacks. Obviously you do normally play one quarterback. 280 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: But that being said, I'm not shy to go ahead 281 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: and have a package for another quarterback at the game, 282 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: like Colt, if there's something we think he could bring 283 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: a little bit differently that may help us with the 284 00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: game plan.
