1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Today, branch keeps getting better.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: Not real all right, guys, you know a lot of

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 2: tough decisions. Real happy with our our fifty three man

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: roster where it sets, real proud of the process. You know,

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 2: everybody from our pro staff just really clean. Kyle and

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: I sat down with every single single player who we

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: released or moved to our practice squad, and you know,

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: really proud of the organization for handling a tough deal.

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: It's tough on those players. They put their heart and

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: soul into it. It doesn't work out for every one

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: of them. But you know, we also let these guys

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: know that this isn't the final fifty three. It's our

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: fifty three right now. And you know, I love the

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: practice squad as it stands now. You know, one goodbye

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: product of COVID getting that thing up to sixteen. It

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: really serves as our developmental league and gives you opportunity

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: you have some vets that are ready to play, to

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: have some developmental guys that you want to pour more

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: time into because their talent and makeup warrants it. So

20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: we're excited about this team and with that all open

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: up the questions.

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 3: Well, you see you guys carrying the three quarterbacks on

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: the fifty three throughout the season.

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: That's that's where we're at right now, and we like

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 2: them all, so, you know, happy with that group, happy

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: with the depth of it, happy with the quality of it,

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: and excited about.

28
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: That our kicker.

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: Has it been harder to bring a guy in knowing

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 4: that it's just a short term job for that guy

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: and that there's so many other teams looking for kickers

32
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 4: out there.

33
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: I had no idea there this many kickers out there.

34
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: I've got more texts from people who you know, kicked

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: at one point in their life, Pop Warner to very

36
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: accomplished kickers. So you know, that process been good as well.

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: Jake Moody's tracking well. His recovery is going well. But

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: we'll be prepared for anything.

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: There's been a bunch of conflicting sports. Is there any

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: percentage chance that you guys would consider trading Nick Bosa? No?

41
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: Real simple YEA.

42
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 5: When are you going to have more tryouts for kickers

43
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 5: or workouts for kickers or are you settled.

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: On one guy? You know, we've uh, we've got some

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: things in motion, some people traveling here, and I think

46
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: we'll have something here early probably early next.

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: Week is already update with Nick? No no updates?

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said Friday night, it's John a lother. I mean,

49
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: people are parson of your words at this point, Jill.

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: And so when you said Friday night, it's a lot

51
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: of hard work to do, it did not appear sound

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: as if a deal with Nick was maybe imminent. Has

53
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: some of that work been completed?

54
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, is there more no updates?

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to stick to that. But communication and

56
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: that's a good thing, So I'll leave it at that.

57
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 6: Is it all that it's taking that?

58
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, you know, but that's where it's.

59
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 5: At outside of Nick in that room. How do you

60
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 5: feel about your other edge rushing options, especially if this

61
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 5: reaches the point where you really need to get and

62
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 5: rely on them.

63
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: I really like the group, you know, for you guys

64
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: to know, we announced the I think Kyle talked about

65
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: Danny Greygo and I are Robert Beale will as well.

66
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: He's coming off a hamstring that he re injured. You know,

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: we thought the best thing for Robert. He's a guy

68
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: we really like and are excited to work for. But

69
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: we got to get that thing right and to you know,

70
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: he qualified for the short term. He had to make

71
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: our fifty three. He's a guy who showed a lot

72
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: and we're thrilled about the prospect of working about him,

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: working with him going forward, but we got to get

74
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: him back so that he's ready, So we'll go through

75
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: through that process. Drake Jackson has had a tremendous offseason

76
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: and we're very excited to see that come to fruition.

77
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: On the on the field field, Cliff Cleveland Ferrell has

78
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: been a really.

79
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: He's a fit.

80
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: He's a Niner, the way he plays, how he plays,

81
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: his talents, his skill set, he plays hard, you know,

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: all those things. We're excited about him. Carrie Hyder just

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: a prose pro, always in the right place, and you

84
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: know he's he's a good football player. Austin Bryant another

85
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: guy who's a very good scheme fit that we identified.

86
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: Very excited about him, you know, moving forward.

87
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 7: Placed Cameron Lotto on on ir was there are you.

88
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: Getting at some point?

89
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 5: Is this a season long nge.

90
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't make the fifty three, so that's a

91
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: season long deal for him, a season long thing. He

92
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: did not make the fifty three, so now he doesn't

93
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: qualify for the you know that to return likely going

94
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: to have a surgical procedure to fix a mechanical issue

95
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 2: in his knee.

96
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: And you know, the good news is.

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: Cam got better throughout camp, and uh, you know, we're

98
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: very excited about him moving forward. But this is going

99
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: to be a year of growth for him and he's

100
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: got to embrace that.

101
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: And uh, you know we.

102
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: Got to be on point in setting him up for success.

103
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: You expected you a hold onto him. Oh yes, Oh yeah,

104
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: we're excited about camp.

105
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 8: You've had a lot going on quarterback yeah, three four,

106
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 8: you know, maybe more years than that. You know it

107
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 8: says that that's over now or I mean, you can

108
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 8: never predict. I'm sure it's certainly weird, well, weird, unusual,

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 8: whatever word you want to pick. Things have happened here.

110
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 8: You have you said the way things are set up

111
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 8: that that kind of drama is over.

112
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: Uh you know, I want to call it drama, I

113
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: just call it. You know what, what has transpired. One

114
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: thing I've learned in this business is it's never over.

115
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: I mean it's ongoing.

116
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 8: Uh.

117
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: I like what we have at the quarterback room.

118
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: I mentioned that earlier, both in the in the quality

119
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: and the depth, And I'm excited about the group moving forward.

120
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: I did a lot of the guys that you know,

121
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: Jamison el Manny. I mean, those are good players. Our

122
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: guys did a great job identifying them. Our process worked

123
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: good football players. You know a lot of competition though,

124
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: and you know some teams saw fit to put them

125
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: on their fifty three. You always run that risk. We

126
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 2: kept a lot of good players here too, that we're

127
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: excited about.

128
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 7: Kyle was saying that their first couple of years here,

129
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 7: you guys would maybe when you put the fifty three

130
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 7: together lean more towards long term kind of the big

131
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 7: picture what they could.

132
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: Be, and that maybe has changed a little bit.

133
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 5: Now.

134
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: How do you kind of view that in terms of

135
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: trying to balance.

136
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 8: Out, Like we got to get guys who can help

137
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 8: us now, but Russell don't want to lose somebody who

138
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 8: long term could be.

139
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think in the fifty three. And then

140
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: you know, I think the practice squad helps with that too,

141
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: you know, to be able to keep two vets, for

142
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: instance at the wide receiver like Chris Conley and Willie Sneed.

143
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: Those guys are battle tested, they've played, they're ready, they've

144
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: gone out and impressed. I think that's a perfect group.

145
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: Then you got young guys like Tay Martin and Winstead

146
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: that you want to pour into and and see if

147
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: we can pull that talent out some more developmental.

148
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: So I think that that's.

149
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: A great illustration that position right there, that it's a

150
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: combination of.

151
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 7: Both the ability to put veterans on the practice squad

152
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 7: since COVID is that kind of elevated the importance of

153
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 7: the roster to the younger guys on practice squad who

154
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 7: may think, like I do have a ticket, second tier guy,

155
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 7: whereas now they might not because if they got to

156
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 7: go like Stee, who's out there on the practice squad

157
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 7: with you, Yeah, I wouldn't think that anyway.

158
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: Well, if you notice, I think the vets that are

159
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: on these practice squads, they're their their tone setters there

160
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: there there's a reason they're still around, and you know,

161
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: I know that's a tough thing for them, not to

162
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: make the fifty three, but to have a viable option

163
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: where they're field like. And then the thing is, these

164
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: guys get flexed. It's not as if it's static. I mean,

165
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: they got the opportunity to get flexed and they will be.

166
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: And so you know, I'm excited for those guys and

167
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: they share that excitement.

168
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 8: Before he got hurt. Is there a chance that he

169
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 8: was hurt before and maybe that affected some of the tames.

170
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: You know, you always worry about that with with with

171
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: rookies that you know, they're new to a place, a

172
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of pressure, you know. In his situation,

173
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: I think he did a good job of communicating though

174
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: when Yeah, I think at first he thought it was fatigue.

175
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: It turned out to be a little more than that,

176
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: and I'm just glad he talked with the trainers. We

177
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: were able to address it, and now he's on the

178
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: path to to get better. I think he you know,

179
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: I still believe we've got a rare talent at that position.

180
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: It was going to be our answer there for a

181
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: long long time.

182
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 5: I cited some numbers as far as the number of

183
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 5: throws that brought it was designed for.

184
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 7: You said seven hundred per week, and this week kind

185
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 7: of taper back to three fifty.

186
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: Is that is that accurate?

187
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're calling it a dload week. You know, he

188
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: went through a lot to get through camp, and he

189
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: needed to do that. This was all part of a

190
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: previous plan. This week was going to be set up

191
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: for let's freshen it back up and give him the

192
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: opportunity to go into the season as fresh as he

193
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: can be. Thrilled with Brock, thrilled with our staff and

194
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: all the people that helped him in you know, an

195
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 2: excellent recovery.

196
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: And this is just another step in that.

197
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: And you know the great news is, you know, you know,

198
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: I can't don't have a crystal ball, but I would

199
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: imagine he'll go into next week feeling a lot better

200
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 2: just because the volume was reduced on him this week.

201
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: And it's all part of the plans.

202
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 5: Are you in a position now with your salary cap

203
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 5: to where you're going to have the nd season flexibility

204
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 5: that you want and we'll getting Nick Dunn help that

205
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 5: for for twenty twenty three. Is that a piece of

206
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 5: that age?

207
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: I hope that's part of the equation.

208
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: But we're we're in good spot there, you know, we're

209
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: we're in you know, we're good. We're good there, and

210
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: and you know it's it's I always want to be

211
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 2: pressing that window, and we certainly are.

212
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: But we got enough for him to be able to

213
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: do some things if need be.

214
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 7: I just changed on the fly so much in the

215
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 7: NFL that you I don't know if amazed is the

216
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 7: right word. That that Rock everything seemed to go perfectly.

217
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 7: I mean from the time that he got the surgery

218
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 7: to the dah that he had and Rock and stold

219
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 7: us that it's never deviated from it.

220
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: It's just like exactly the way. I think.

221
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: The only hurdles, uh were early on, right before you know,

222
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: the surgery being delayed and it was a tight timeline

223
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: to start. So that felt like a big deal at

224
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: the time. But he overcame that and in order to

225
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: do that, it it almost had to go without a setback.

226
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 2: He never had a setback, and oftentimes in these things

227
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: there's some natural he got sore today that never happened,

228
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: and so I think that's a real positive thing.

229
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: I think it speaks to first and foremost Rock and uh,

230
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: you know his.

231
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 2: You know, the Good Lord gave him, gave him a

232
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: good set of jeans that heals fast. And then he's

233
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: a worker and uh he'll stick to a plan and

234
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: uh he'll he'll challenge the plan. And he was very invested,

235
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: took ownership in the plan and saw it to fruition.

236
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: It's not done yet, it continues.

237
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: Uh, as as evidence by what we're doing with him

238
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: this week, and we think it puts them in great

239
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 2: position just to go play football starting Week one against Pittsburgh.

240
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 4: Steve Wilks has talked about the idea of having two Nichols,

241
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 4: a bigger Nicchols smaller nickel. Does that concern you that

242
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: there's not one guy sort of you know, who's's taken

243
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 4: hold of that position going into the season.

244
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: I think optionality is always a good thing, Matt. And

245
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: you know, I think a lot of people, you know,

246
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: like Isaiah Oliver, you know, a shaky preseason or whatever.

247
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't see it as that.

248
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 2: I say, I see a player who's adjusting to the

249
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: way we play, and uh, we're we're very excited about

250
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: I think Isaiah brings some unique skill set to the

251
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: nickel position with his length and abilities. He also has

252
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: some flex to play safety, you know, when we get

253
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: in a pension, so you're always looking for optionality versatility

254
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: at positions. And you know, you've seen what we've done

255
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: with Ambry moving into the outside nickel and and Demo

256
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: leonor being able to go inside. I think those things

257
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: are all good my experience. You'll need them all at

258
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: some point during the season and that position, it's good

259
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: to have some depth, and I think we have good

260
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 2: depth at that position.

261
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 4: You're at at a corner from Green Bay.

262
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about him in the process

263
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: that led you guys to him.

264
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, a guy who's got some traits. But I

265
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: would say a couple of things, Larry. I think outside, inside, versatility, play,

266
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: some nickel play, some outside, got some speed, and a

267
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 2: very good special teams player. And and you know when

268
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 2: you're gonna be vying to be a flex or be developed,

269
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: that special team's value is really huge. And we felt

270
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: like our pro guys did a real good job of

271
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: identifying him and then selling him on our opportunity.

272
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: Former quarterbacks have talked about the chaos of playing the

273
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: position and so much is coming at you, and talking about.

274
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 6: Hurt his poise and that he seemed to be at

275
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 6: peace with all that chaos. Yeah, was that, I mean,

276
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 6: among other things, I guess the most surprising thing about

277
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 6: what he did last year, or maybe you just talk

278
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 6: about Yeah.

279
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: I got a great Bill Walsh book that sits up

280
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: in my desk, up in my shelves, up in my office.

281
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: He's got a great chapter on that being able to

282
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: function with chaos all around you, that's what you're looking

283
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: for at that position.

284
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: So Brock does that very well.

285
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: He's he's a quick processor, a smart processor, makes really

286
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: good decisions. I would say the thing that probably surprised

287
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: me most his ability to extend his athleticism. I thought

288
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 2: he did that a lot in addition to because at

289
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: some point the pocket's going to break down in this league,

290
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: the d lines are just getting too good, the athletes

291
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: are too good, and you know, at some point you

292
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: have to have that ability. So I think the most

293
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: surprising for me was that ability, because you did see

294
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: You never know how it's going to translate, but right

295
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: away we saw the poise, the quick decision making. Probably

296
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: what surprised me most was the ability to extend and

297
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: make plays on his own.

298
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you guys. Okay,
