1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: What you say development in this system. Obviously, he's been

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: a good training camp in preseason out the last two years.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: What have you seen out of practice? Yeah, I mean

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: I think he's just a guy who shows up every day,

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: comes to work. Um, you know, I think he just

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: makes a ton of players. It's hard to ignore how

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: many plays he's made during the screen during training camp

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: and then obviously tonight as well. Um. So he's a

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: tremendously hard worker and a really good player, a talented player,

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: and um, someone who can count on to get over

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: What do you say to your rookie tight end after

12
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: we got that play? Yeah, I mean I think it's

13
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: just uh getting on the same page with some of

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: that stuff. I think, Um, you know, I can probably

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, do a better job getting the ball down

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: and and you know, I know he'll make that play

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: and and uh and we'll get it. But he's had

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: a good camp and and uh, you know he's gonna

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: be a good player. Feel if he didn't end up

20
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: playing in the last preseason game and this was kind

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: of what you had to go into the season with, um, well,

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know, Uh, those decisions are well

23
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: over my head. But Um, you know, like I said,

24
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: I thought we did a lot of good things and

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: stuff we can build off of. But um, you know,

26
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: we've got an important few weeks of work here coming up.

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Um you know, obviously with this week most immediately, So

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: that's what we're focused on. And and uh, you know

29
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: a lot we gotta you know, still do you how

30
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: much to play tonight? Because dabl was saying on Friday

31
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: he was kind of revisiting whether he would play or guys,

32
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: you have to make any kind of push like that. No,

33
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: that was coach's call and and uh my job to

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: show up and play. This's what what you've seen so

35
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: far make you feel that you're you guys are at

36
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: least headed in the right direction as an offense as

37
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: as a whole. Yeah, I mean I felt that way

38
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: throughout camp. I think, um, you know, it's a process,

39
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: and we're constantly learning and improving day to day. Um

40
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, but I felt like we've had a good

41
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: camp and we've done that um to the first few weeks.

42
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: So uh, we gotta keep doing that, you know. I

43
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: think that's what's most important, is what we do from

44
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: this point on. And um, you know, how much we

45
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: can still improve. So, um, that's what we're focused on. You. Um,

46
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: you're on a sideline obviously, but when the crowd gets

47
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: quiet and the card comes out for Cavan, um, you

48
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: know what is what is the sideline like at that point?

49
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: What are you thinking? Yeah, I think it was a

50
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: pretty scary moment. Uh there, you know, you never want

51
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: to see anyone go down and um, you know, so

52
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: we'll see and and you know, it's tough play. He

53
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of saw the block and the collision there, but uh,

54
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: and I hope he's hope he's all right. You know,

55
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: I think he's doing better. I did. Yeah, do you think,

56
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: Uh well, I mean I think that's uh, you know legal,

57
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: it's in the tackle box and it's it's part of it. So, um,

58
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: it's tough. It's a tough part of the game. And

59
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: I don't have much experience dealing with that. I don't

60
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: play then, but um, yeah, part of it. And you

61
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: can you and Stills have such a chemistry and reporter

62
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to building chemistry with the receiver. Can

63
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: anything in place? Just times year when you guys and

64
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: I think we played stabbing, he's defending that light out. Yeah,

65
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean I think everybody's everybody's different, you know, but um,

66
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: there's nothing more valuable than reps, I think, and getting together, um,

67
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, going through it and practice, seeing things, having

68
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: the conversations, correcting things, uh, and moving forward. You know,

69
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: there's a process to it and and you know you

70
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta put the time in, put the effort in,

71
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: and and go through it. So he's he's definitely done that. Um,

72
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: you know so, but we gotta do that. Would I

73
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: do that with everyone? And as it grew, did you

74
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: build like a thrill playing in this game? Knowing that

75
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals made to the super Bowl last year, Like, yeah,

76
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean I think, Um, they're they're a good team.

77
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: You know, obviously a lot of their starters weren't playing

78
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: at night, but um, they're a good team. And it's

79
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: always fun to to get out you know, at home

80
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: and and uh and play a game at home. So um, yeah,

81
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: it's fun being out there.
