1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: All right, so today we'll start a prep on the Panthers. 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: I say, obviously this is a good team. They've got 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: a lot of talent team, but they play really is 4 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: a cohesive union all three sides of the ball. You know, 5 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Matt does a good job, really organized and all three 6 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: sides in terms of theme of how they want to 7 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,319 Speaker 1: play and say offensively, you know, Donald is doing a 8 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: really good job being product from the pass game as 9 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: well as using his legs to extend plays. They got 10 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: very talented receivers are always a shot threat. They're very 11 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: good situations. Think Joe Brady is a really good job 12 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: mixed up what they're gonna do and using the information 13 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: and gather pre snap from you to go ahead and 14 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: take advantage of what you give them. You know. On 15 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: the defensive side, you know Snow does a great job. 16 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: Now he really gets after you. They play very fast 17 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: up to feel the defensive front they want the best 18 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: in the league. You know, there's a lot of speed 19 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: on the second level. The linebackers and defensive backs are 20 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: very opportunistic to make plays, you know, if you can 21 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: get disrupted. And the kicking game chases a great job. 22 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: But really having his players play the way he play 23 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: as a player, and that's size, speeding, very aggressive and 24 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: making plays by just playing through blocks, blocking punts, being 25 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: very disruptive on the field, goal protection, and they're gonna 26 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: give us a lot of things prepare for this week. 27 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: So that being said, with any questions you have, just 28 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: see if in your guys coming back this morning when 29 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: you met with him about whether it's focused or what 30 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: what's the moon for the Yeah, they're focused, ready to go, 31 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: ready to practice. I mean, got in here today, a 32 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: couple of days of rest. We've got here today, put 33 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: the pads on, start going at it. But yeah, good 34 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: focus on means this morning kind of move quickly through 35 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: some meetings this morning, terms of kind of changing the 36 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: page and a couple of things. Uh, we'll get into 37 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: the Panthers as well, and we'll come back say if 38 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: you do a little bit more, how much is a 39 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: blow is it to lose Andrew for you know at 40 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: least three games you know he was playing well, and 41 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: you know more shuffling on the line that's been shuffled 42 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: so much. Well, first office, it's our job to have 43 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 1: all the players prepared. It's their job to be prepared 44 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: and go out there and be productive. But you don't 45 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: want to lose any player. I think Andrew's done a 46 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: really good job obviously, you know, going through some stuff 47 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: in the off season, coming back, you know, played very well, 48 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: has been improving as a player throughout his career. Force, 49 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: he's a guy on the offensive line. We have a 50 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: lot of confidence as a player. He prepares extremely well 51 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: and does a good job coming ready to go every day. 52 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: But you know, we're confident, you know, Matt Nate and 53 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: Cunningham getting out there and playing force as well. Would 54 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: you agree that when he was playing well, you know 55 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: earlier this year, that you were able to slide, you know, 56 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: things to the other side because you were confident that 57 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: Andrew could take care of his side by himself. Well, 58 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: we've done that both ways. We've done that both ways. 59 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: We've had schemes where've helped our tackles. We have schemes, 60 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: we put them on the island. You know, we've pleased 61 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: with the way these guys improved going throughout this please 62 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: way Andrew played, you know, when he was healthy. The 63 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: plan for a bunch of these injured weapons, you know, 64 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: sa Kwan, Kenny Gains, Darius, Darius alright, so, uh, Darius 65 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: will be out here with us today, Katie will see 66 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: where he's gonna be gonna start the trainers. We'll see 67 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: what that goes today and see it leads into going 68 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: towards tomorrow. Much the same with se Kwan and Golladay. 69 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: You know, we'll see where they are. You're not going 70 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: to plan with those guys doing a whole lot with 71 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: us today kind of more see how they get out 72 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: today the trainers, but what tomorrow looks like for them 73 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: right there, No no kind of hard timelines and no 74 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: one really being eliminated at this point right here. You know, 75 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: he's got playing left and right back in a little 76 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: You'll see all three tackles play it this week, and 77 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: I would expect all of our guys to play both 78 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 1: right and left. That sarment practice and parent This week 79 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: we'll see Nate, Matt and cunning Ham at no. I mean, 80 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: obviously Andrews was in an Atlas, was sing through. But 81 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: in being out, how does that impact some of the 82 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: game planning just authensically because of what you do. Also, 83 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: the first things that Andrew you're asking about, We're gonna 84 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: game plan the same way we always did. You know, 85 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: and you've got to take an account who you're playing 86 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: against the weather Andrews playing out playing you gotta look 87 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,839 Speaker 1: at this front. There's a lot of speed off the edge. 88 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: You've got account for how they play. They're very disruptive. 89 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: They get up the field. They do such a good 90 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: job on early downs because that speed really coming up 91 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: the field and the speed on second level the backers 92 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: were scraping over the top. They really disrupt your run lanes, 93 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: They get after your ear in the past, and they 94 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: really do a great job of getting in the second 95 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: or long which is the third long. That's how they 96 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: play very well. But in terms of you know, Andrew 97 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: being in or out, we have the game plan the 98 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: same way to account for that speed come off the 99 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: edge with our tackles. These two teams, right, you know, 100 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: say Klon Christian McCaffrey's obviously super talented players. Right, How 101 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: hard is it because that position is so tough, right, 102 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: I mean there are a lot of injury. Is the 103 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: rate of injuries higher? How hard is it to build 104 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: the team in an offense around and running back these 105 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: days because of those that limitation. That's a pretty big 106 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: article question right there. Jordan I'd say, look, obviously there's 107 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: two are very very talented players, and when they're on 108 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: the field, they bring a whole lot to a team. 109 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: You know, offensively obviously when you have players that got 110 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: on offense to help your defense as well, because you're 111 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: normally moving the ball any when you have to punt it, 112 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: you're norally punting from better field position, which helps your 113 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: defense playing a longer field. You know, with both those guys, 114 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: you know, the threat of the run and the past 115 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: game is very very real, you know. And I'm not 116 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: gonna speak for MAT's team. I can be for the Panthers, 117 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: but you know, guys have to step up and guys 118 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: have to make plays, and we have a lot of 119 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: talent and roster. I think. You know, Booker did a 120 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: lot of good things for us. You know, now him 121 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: and say Kuant are different players. That's not positive negative. 122 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: We talked our players all time. You have to know 123 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: who you are as a player to understand how you 124 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: have to play. And we have to understand that ours 125 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: players as coaches understand how to use them. So we're 126 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: gonna use whoever we have available to us to make plays. 127 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: Please with the progress. Davante Eli Gary, those guys have 128 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: ball made like we're waiting on Sa Kwan and get healthy. 129 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: I know he's working hard to trainers right now where 130 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: see where he is going through the rest of this week. 131 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: Obviously want to have him back as soon as possible. 132 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: He's a guy that made an impact force or continue 133 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: to make an impact force as a leader and a 134 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: player on the field. Obviously, it's not a knock on 135 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: how much do you really have to change stuff? Wouldn't 136 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: you have a healthy stake onund there? And when you 137 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: don't well some of the run game, you're gonna try 138 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: to call runs that are more fable to that back. 139 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: So if you look at Davante, he's had success in 140 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: some zone schemes, but there's also a lot of things 141 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: he does in some of the gap schemes with pin 142 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: and polls where you can stick his foot in and 143 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: ground and get vertical down the field. He does very well. 144 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: Kind of more run to his size and one cut 145 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 1: type ability. Sakwan can do all the same runs. Sakan 146 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: also has I think a natural instinct of some of 147 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: his own runs with the fold and the cutbacks. They 148 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: can do it. Both guys are very good hands in space. 149 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: You know, you see book every game makes some kind 150 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,559 Speaker 1: of a tough catch even just don't check down wherever 151 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: it is. So we've confident both guys and receivers. Now 152 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna do the same type of rounds with both 153 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: guys you can. Doesn't mean you're always gonna game plan 154 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: based on who you're playing, what you think the favorble 155 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: matchup is there. We have confidence all those guys going 156 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: out wide. But are they different wrinkles you're gonna do 157 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 1: with different players? You Absolutely, your edge rushers have another 158 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: gear that they can reach, like effort wise, energy wise 159 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback. I don't see any issue 160 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: with their effort right now, Pat, So are we gonna 161 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: do things to try to help our edge rushers and 162 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: different schemes Absolutely are the things that have to come 163 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: together with all living on the field, so everyone's productive. 164 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: To me, it's always, you know, the pass rushes always 165 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: starts with the coverage, and the coverage is aided by 166 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: the pass rush. They gotta work off each other. If 167 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: one's lack and the other one has no chance of 168 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: getting there. So to me, in terms of how the 169 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: edge rushers are playing, I'm please with their effort. They 170 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: gotta keep making progress. Theres a lot of things we 171 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: gotta get do better as a team, But in terms 172 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: of those guys being productive, we gotta help them a 173 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: little bit of coaches, and we gotta make sure they 174 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: make the places and they come their way. There is 175 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: there any thought? Was there any thought or is there 176 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: still any thought? If you're winning, Tony on I are? 177 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: Do you feel like we'll be back for a three 178 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: game window? We have any conversations that would lead to 179 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: anything with I R Tony right now? Now? What what 180 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: can Aaron Robinson bring to the secondary whenever he does 181 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: come back, whether that's this week, are in the coming weeks, 182 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: we're about to see He'll be out there today practice 183 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: with us and we'll see how he moves around. We 184 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: haven't really had an opportunity to see this guy going 185 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: full tilts. He's been here, um, so look, we're looking 186 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: forward to get him and Ellerson out there and you know, 187 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: give a chance get work with the team. Is there 188 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: is there a timetable for them that you say, Okay, 189 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: now they're starting to their clock starts. What do you 190 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: think because they've been in your program this whole time, 191 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: that it might not take as long as someone from 192 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: outside the building to hit the practice field. And I'd 193 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: say for two young guys especially, I think there's a difference. 194 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: You talk about an older guy and I'm just gonna 195 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: use a name for being old guy in the league. 196 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: I got like a Kyle Rudolph who missed a large 197 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: part of training camp. But his experience is knowledge is 198 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: ability kind of get more mental reps, get ready. His 199 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: ability to step in that early and be able to 200 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: play within the system and become productive as he played 201 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: is different to me than a rookie who the reality 202 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: is they haven't played preseason games, they've been scrimmaged against 203 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: another team. They haven't really had you know, full contact 204 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: practice at this point. So they've been in the meetings. 205 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: They've done a good job mentally staying you know, caught 206 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: up and within the game plan. They've done a really 207 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: good job with our program. I think they asked them 208 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: to do. But the reality is they've got to get 209 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: out here and start playing football. And I don't happen 210 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: to be a timetable. Uh. You know, Look, if you say, 211 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: within the structure of the rules, could it be this week, 212 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: it could you know, be completely transparent with you. For 213 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,119 Speaker 1: both guys who haven't gone through really training camp, preseason games, 214 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: all that stuff. I'd find a hard believe for any 215 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: rookie to come back that fast and just go ahead 216 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: and jump right back in. Even last year, Wednesday came 217 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: back off the injury missing a chunk of the season. 218 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: He at least had some of preseason or some of 219 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: the you know, training camp part of it, and then 220 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: as he stayed into it, we had to phase him 221 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: in throughout the year. Remember we first came back to 222 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: the first few games to say that he's gonna be 223 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: kind of small parts to kind of build them up. 224 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: You're not gonna take them just throw them out there 225 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: for a full till game right away. You know when 226 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: you saw it earlier today, he said, you're gonna change 227 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: the piece of some things. I mean, what are you 228 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: talking about? If it took it how long you stay 229 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: on a certain drillers? I said, the page. We were 230 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: changing the page on some things in the meetings. Yeah, couple, 231 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: what are you seeing from Sam Donald and the the way 232 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 1: he's winning. Brady's offense having to be very productive. I 233 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: think he's a big, strong quarterback. He's got a big arm, 234 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: he's very aggressive with a lot of throws. You can't 235 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: forget about this guy's legs. It's the one thing you 236 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: see a lot of teams right now they're dropping in 237 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: the zone or letting the man kind of carry him 238 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: out of it. He does a good job of keeping 239 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: his eyes downfield. When he sees an opportunity, he pulls 240 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: in the runs. He's smart with run on the ball. 241 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: He's productive, he gets down, He's good in a little 242 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: right are as far as getting that thing in the 243 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: end zone as a runner with his legs, I mean, 244 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: he look, he's a talented corback and they got a 245 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: lot of weapons. He's gonna find a way to get 246 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: the ball around. Ye. Injuries that if my memory is 247 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: correct in and you'll know better than I, I feel 248 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: like he would fewer injuries last year. Maybe then this year. 249 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: I know sake has gone right yere, But do you 250 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: look at injuries, it's like I luck at the draw. 251 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: Thing is that no one can control. Or do you 252 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: think there are some ways that you can help to 253 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: minimize injuries. I think there's certain injuries that you can 254 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: help to minimize through the physical conditioning and preparation, and 255 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: there's other things that we've really seen within the games. 256 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: To be honest with that, they're just sometimes unavoidable and 257 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: sometimes they're pretty you know, traumatic injuries. You know, there's 258 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 1: nothing really Nick Gates could have done differently than to 259 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: avoid is injury. There's nothing you could have done really 260 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: prepared to avoid that injury. That's just the reality of it. 261 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: C J Board the other at the forum. You know, 262 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: there's certain things you can't really avoid this. You don't 263 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: want to see any of players get hurt. You don't 264 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: see any player get hurt um in terms of the injuries. Unfortunately, 265 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: it's part of the game. But it's part of the game. 266 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: We all sign up, you know what I mean, And 267 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: it's our job to prepare every player. It's every player's 268 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: job to be ready to produce, so we have that 269 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: next man up mentality. Were trying to push anybody out 270 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: the way, but when something happens, we gotta keep moving forward. 271 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: That game is gonna be played either way. You make 272 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: sure that they're confidence. Let me finish Kim's right quick, please, 273 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say. I forgot what I was 274 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: gonna say. Actually, now I'll come if you think about 275 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: I'll come back to can sorry about that. How do 276 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: you make sure that the confidence of your players does 277 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: not say you're preparing? Confidence comes from practice execution. So 278 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: we get our guys ready to go on the practice field, 279 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: we correct the mistakes, we're showing what they're doing well, 280 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: and we keep moving forward. How what is their conference level? 281 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: From what you can tell, they came in there today 282 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: with a good attitude, they're focused, ready to go. We'll 283 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: see them want to fee today. I see a team 284 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: that works hard last one? Yeah, you think? How do 285 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: I say? Looking? You know you have first round tae 286 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: practice squad. You know he's making progress for us. He's 287 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: doing a good job working right now. He spent a 288 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: lot of time with you know, strength and conditioning your trainers. 289 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: He's getting caught up in our schemes and systems. I'd 290 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: say he's a hard worker's a smart guy. So it's 291 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: got a little ways to go. But he's doing a 292 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: good job right now working. He actually won't be out 293 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: of practice today. He's got a non football related deal today. Um, 294 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: just a bug to keep out of the building, you know, 295 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: nothing football related and nothing serious. So all right, he's 296 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: got like he's got like a bug. He's sick. He's 297 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: sick here. We're keeping out of building.
