1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. We'll have to work with him

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: and see how it goes. I can't answer that until

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: we've had him out there.

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Sorry. Sort Of a similar question about some of the

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: guys that have been banged up. Obviously it's a very

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: different situation, but with with Mike and Cole specifically, is

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: it fair to presume or expect those guys to be

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: able to contribute week one for us?

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. We must take it day by day.

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: Express do you anticipate Calvin Anderson coming off that NFL

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: list before Tuesday?

12
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Uh? Not sure. We'll see how that goes. Again, We'll

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: continue to monitor his situation and when he's medically cleared,

14
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: then we would have a decision to make. Until he's

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: medically clearer, then he's not medically clear, we'll see.

16
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: Sort of on the same lines with with Riley, does

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: that situation look like one where he'll at least be

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: available to you at some point here? Where did that

19
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: come across as more of like the long term thing

20
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 3: when we saw.

21
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: Him leave the game the other night?

22
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's some of the one. We're kind

23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: of kind of have to wait and see on here,

24
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: you know, see it progresses, you know over the next

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,279
Speaker 1: few days, and love better read on it then.

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: An expression.

27
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: Good morning, Bill. I know you were as about Tyrone

28
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 4: on the show this morning. So about Baderi and Love,

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: what made you want to work with it?

30
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's a player we feel I couldn't

31
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: you know, compete on the offensive line. Give us some

32
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: depth here and we'll see how it goes. Young player.

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: You know, he's played played a lot of tackle in

34
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: his career at Illinois and in Minnesota. They have some

35
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: position flexibility, you know, I don't know. We'll have to

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: work with him in and see.

37
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 4: Do you expect both players to be in the building today?

38
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: I think ones here then I'm not sure about the

39
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: flight schedule and the other one.

40
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: Thank you morning.

41
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: They have some experience on both edges, playing mainly left.

42
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: Do you see them provide versatility or are these guys

43
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: that come and sort of.

44
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: Reinforce the left spot.

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, we'll have to see. We'll work with them

46
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: and the uh. I agree, I've seemed exactly what you've seen.

47
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: Both that primarily played on the left side of though

48
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: Tyrone hasn't played a lot of tackle, but they both

49
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: also played on the right and you know, we'll see

50
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: what else they could do. I don't you know, I

51
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see. And City played hardly any tackle

52
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: at all in his career and has played a lot

53
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: of tackle exclusively played tackles since he's been here. So

54
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: we'll just have to see how that how that plays out.

55
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 1: But they're available. We're looking forward to working with both

56
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: of them. We'll see. I goes.

57
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: Mhm h, excuse me morning.

58
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 5: Though, all the trades with the offensive tackles in the lineman,

59
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 5: I guess it speaks to the need for every team

60
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 5: to have depth at those positions. I guess how important

61
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 5: is depth along the offensive line, given you know, it's

62
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 5: really one of the keys to the offense throughout the entire.

63
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: Seaton, right, Well, depth is important, uh, at every position

64
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: in your roster, on your roster, just you just don't

65
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: know when you're gonna need it. Sometimes you go through

66
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: a year and you never need the depth, and then

67
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: sometimes you need a lot of depth at certain positions.

68
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, it's insurance policy that you don't

69
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: know whether you're gonna need or not. So one of

70
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: the things about the offensive line is the amount of

71
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, teamwork and communication that goes with those five players.

72
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: So you know, putting a new one in is not

73
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: the easiest thing to do. It's never easy, but it's

74
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: not the easiest thing to do because of the you know,

75
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: the coordination that needs to take place between you know,

76
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: all five of those players. We did that last year

77
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: with Connor. We were forced to, and he did a

78
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: good job of it. It was probably about as good

79
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: of a transitions as I could have hoped for. But

80
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: that's not really the way that you want to go.

81
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: You'd like to be able to have somebody that's familiar

82
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: with your system that's been doing it, whether they've been

83
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: on the starting lineup or not, at least they're familiar

84
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: with everything that you're doing, the communication, the calls, the adjustments,

85
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: things like that, if possible, but that's again true of

86
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: every position. You can't ensure all of them, but you

87
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: try to have as much depth as you can on

88
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: your roster for those contingencies, not knowing for sure where

89
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: you're going to need that. You know, so you know,

90
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady got hurt in two thousand and eight, first play,

91
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: first game, and you know, it turns out you need

92
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: depth at that position. You know with Castle and then

93
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: that never happened again, So it's just a little bit

94
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: of that's unpredictable, but you just have to be prepared

95
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: for and we felt like this is an opportunity for

96
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, to work with two young players that would

97
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: give us that and we'll see how it goes. Question.

98
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: So going back to Tyrone for a second, I didn't

99
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: mentioned on his minimal experience there at tackle. How much

100
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: of your evaluation there for him is really just based

101
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: on if I know he's been it for worked out,

102
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 4: but base of just you know whatever the recent data

103
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 4: point is an wait heavy, but especially the guy with minimal.

104
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: Experience as it is right well, there are minimal There

105
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: are multiple you know ways to evaluate in the and

106
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: gain information about of players, so that varies from player

107
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: to player, different sources and so forth. But you know,

108
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: we we want to work with a player. That's why

109
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: we traded for him, you know, after sign and Z

110
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: felt like we had a little more depth at the

111
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: running back position and and had less depth on the

112
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. So that's why we made it and we'll

113
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: see it goes. M hm, you're welcome.

114
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: The last two questions Mike and Press sort of following

115
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: up on that, Bill, I was curious about Pierre Strong

116
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: and we were sort of talking about it just be

117
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: in another reporter yesterday and just wondering if how much

118
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: would is the change of what you're doing offensively this

119
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: year from what you did last year?

120
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: Did that change how.

121
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: He fit for you? You know, like maybe his skill

122
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: set was more serious?

123
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think it changed.

124
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, And sort of what how would you sort of

125
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: sum up that, you know, like, obviously you've drafted him

126
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: in the fourth round last year, He's got a lot

127
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: of things going for him. What what sort of happened

128
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: Was it the lack of special teams progress for him

129
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: that sort of didn't help him break through?

130
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 4: And what happened there?

131
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: Well, when when you trade for another player, you have

132
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: to give up something, so you have to give up

133
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: something to get something. So we're not looking to get

134
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: rid of anybody, but we had to give up something

135
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: to get he had a player that we felt like

136
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: we needed.

137
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: So okay, thank you. The last question.

138
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 6: Morning, Bill, with the understanding that every player in every

139
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 6: personnel situation, was wondering if you could expand on the

140
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 6: idea of why maybe you make a move by a

141
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 6: guy or kind.

142
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 4: Of guy yesterday as opposed to today or to.

143
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: Uh. You know, there's a number of reasons for that,

144
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: one of them being volume. Right, so we have to

145
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: make thirty seven transactions, and you know, in some cases

146
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: when the decision is clear cut, I think it just

147
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: helps the player get a little bit of a head

148
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: start on his future. And you know, players can't if

149
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: we don't have a spot form here, you know, I mean,

150
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: because of the relationship that we have with those guys.

151
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: They've worked hard, they've done what we asked them to do,

152
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: They've they've done their best. Maybe a spot form somewhere

153
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: else and giving them the opportunity to get out there

154
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: a little bit ahead of the pack and at least, know,

155
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, then they can start to you know, put

156
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: some feelers out of their reach and start to work

157
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: on it. And I know that the transactions don't become

158
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: official until later in the week, but you know, when

159
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: a player has been released, he has the opportunity to,

160
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, to start to look to see if there's

161
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: a going to be a practice squad opportunity or something else,

162
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, you know, somewhere else in the league. And

163
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, for the guys that have come in and

164
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: done all we've asked them to do and worked hard,

165
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: I hope they get another opportunity somewhere. I hope they

166
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, I hope things work out for them somewhere else.

167
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Maybe they're in a better system fit, or another team

168
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: has less depth than we do and so forth. And

169
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: some of those guys are going to end up on

170
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: other teams. So it's partially to maintain the relationship with

171
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: them and their representatives. It's things that are already in

172
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: place here that I don't feel like you're going to change,

173
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: And it just accelerates the process for us, because again,

174
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: we have a lot of things to do in a

175
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: fairly short amount of time, and things that you can,

176
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, do ahead of time if you will, before

177
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: the deadline. I'm sure things will get crunched at the end.

178
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't want to not give those players,

179
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, at least the time and the courtesy of

180
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: an explanation and the decision and you know, a closure

181
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: to it, if you will. I think they deserve that

182
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: based on what they've given me. And and you know,

183
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: when you try to do thirty seven guys in an

184
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: hour it's or whatever it's it could just be, you know,

185
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: feel pretty dismissive of what the player's effort and commitment

186
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: has been. And I want to recognize that because some

187
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: of these guys have They've worked as hard as they

188
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: could for the last however many months and in some

189
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: cases years, and done all they could. And unfortunately, we

190
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: all know that nineties got to go to fifty three

191
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: and thirty seven. Players can't be on the fifty three

192
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: man roster, and we all knew that when we signed

193
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: up for it. And I've been on waivers myself a

194
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: few times, so I know what that's like to, you know,

195
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: be told you don't have a place here, and some

196
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: of us end up somewhere else. So it's not uh,

197
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: it's part of the process. So whether it's the right

198
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: or wrong thing to do, you know, I don't know.

199
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: But I try to do the best I can. I

200
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: try to, you know, be respectful for the players and

201
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: what they're going through and what their future is if

202
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: it's not here, and you know, try to communicate that

203
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: to them in the in the best way that I can.

204
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: And we do it with multiple people in the organization.

205
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: We talk to their representatives and so forth. So it's

206
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: try to handle it as professionally as we can. Just

207
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: put it that way. Thanks for the question, yep, okay, yep,
