When you start sort of getting together 35 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 3: with Trend and the rest of the coaches to sort 36 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 3: of trim down the wrongster, I know it's a difficult time. 37 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: But when do. 38 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: You when you well, we you know, we we talk. 39 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 3: We have personnel meetings after every ball game and and 40 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 3: throughout training camp and and you know we talk about 41 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: the roster. It's still early, you know, to to make 42 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 3: any kind of decisions. I mean, you know, you know, 43 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 3: obviously Trevor's the quarterback, and you know Josh will be 44 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: the defensive end, so we know that much. But you know, 45 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 3: after that, it's still evaluation and still still want to 46 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: get as much time with these guys as we can 47 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 3: right up until the last minute. 48 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: That's I think for somebody that really speaks and make 49 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: an impression when it's such a short amount of time. 50 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he had a he had a I mean, 51 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: he had a nice sack, he have a knighte and uh, 52 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: basically you're be evaluating him based on you know, two 53 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: and a half weeks of being with you. 54 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's tough. 55 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: It's tough when guys come in the middle of camp. 56 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: But you know, he's done a nice job just picking 57 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 3: up the terminology, picking up the defense, and you know, 58 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: he's getting meaningful game reps that are that are good 59 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 3: for him and and you know, we just got to 60 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 3: continue to to evaluate how he how he does an 61 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: individual drills, any team reps that he gets during the week, 62 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 3: and and then again with this last game, you know, 63 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 3: probably looking like the second half potentially playing and just 64 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: again making making the most of those reps. And you 65 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 3: know it, it it it's probably a challenge, you know, 66 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: with a guy like that, probably fifty three you know, 67 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 3: as you go, but but practice squad is not out 68 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: of the question. And and and that's what a lot 69 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 3: of these guys you know, are competing for. 70 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: They're still competing for those for those spots. 71 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 3: The rule this year where you get Disney two players 72 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 3: to return from hier ror foro to fifty new Man 73 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 3: cut down. 74 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: How much flexibility is that give you just building up 75 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: the roster. I mean it helps you. 76 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 3: It helps you, you know, especially in a situation maybe like 77 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 3: Dewey or you know one of these guys like that 78 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 3: that just you know, is banged during camp and and 79 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 3: you know they're not gonna start the season. I mean 80 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 3: it it it does give you flexibility, you know, but 81 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 3: then you're gonna have to make a move down the road. 82 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: But you know, for us to do that with a 83 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 3: couple of players, it does make it a little bit 84 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: easier to to manage your roster, right. It cut downs 85 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: how big are the we and even last week for 86 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: Parker Washington just getting so many. 87 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: More reps for Christian now you know it's valuable. 88 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: I mean you look at the last five games last 89 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: year when Christian missed and he got all the all 90 00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: the work there. 91 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: I think he got a lot of and gain confidence. 92 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 3: He's stronger, you know this year he looks faster, quicker, 93 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: all all of that. And you know, he's just making 94 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 3: the most of his opportunities and and doing a nice 95 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: job in the return game as well. And and uh 96 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 3: he's been as we've said, he's been one of the 97 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: bright spots of camp. 98 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: We've talked about the year two guys, but I mean Braswell, 99 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: mill Or Biggs, b Parker.
