1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: Look, obviously we didn't do enough tonight to win the game. 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: The objective tonight mainly was to evaluate our players. Uh, 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: there are a lot of things we saw it there 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: tonight that were positives on the individual basis. Collectively, we 5 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: have to be more consistent and better that success. Um 6 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: told the players there were some good things out there, 7 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: but we have to make sure that we improve our 8 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: level of play, our football fundamentals and our execution on 9 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: the field have success. That being said, any questions you 10 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: have all opened up right, Any injured player who was 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to play in the game tonight, 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: we didn't put on the sideline. Everyone who was on 13 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: the sideline would have been healthy enough to participate in 14 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: the game. The only exception be s Quan And if 15 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: it's a captain, there's a different, you know deal. Sometimes 16 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: I'll let them on the field. You started off mine, 17 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: you know most of the first quarter. Well what do 18 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: you think? Well, I think it's a team. We started 19 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: slow on both sides of the ball, and I saw 20 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: some improvement as we went on. We're able to move 21 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: the ball a little bit, get down in a scoring position. 22 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: We can't have turnovers in a low red area, and 23 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: we have to applies on. Obviously, we can't shoot ourselves 24 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: in the flot and expect that success. So you know, 25 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: there's some things that we can highlight in terms of 26 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: the offensive line, in terms of the direction we have 27 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: to go, and there's obviously a lot of things we 28 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: can clean up as well. Start, I want to get 29 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: those guys some more chemistry on the field against a 30 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: different opponent. And I want to see as much of 31 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: Mike and give as much experience in preseason we could 32 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: get with those guys. He's not always gonna get a 33 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: lot of reps with those guys on a regular season 34 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: as of right now, so we want to make sure 35 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: we took advantage of time we had, you know, a 36 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: forwarded Well, I got to look at the tape and really, 37 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: you know, before I can assess these guys publicly, I 38 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: saw you some positive times and some things that we 39 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: had to clean up. Obviously, you know, some of the 40 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: sacks and pressures on third and long situations. You don't 41 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: want to end any game with the safety, and that's 42 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: something you want to do. However, there are some you know, 43 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: bright spots out there an individual basis, I thought as 44 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: a unit, uh the communications improved as we went on there. 45 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: I thought some of the adjustments they were going to 46 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: make in the sideline with Rob and those guys in 47 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: terms of you know, handling what they were given was positive. 48 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: But ultimately we have to be fundamentally sound and play 49 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: more consistent injury, well as any person's individual injury at 50 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: this moment. But we hope to get him out there 51 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: this week. Uh, you know, he's been dealing with for 52 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. Something was aggravating practice towards the tail 53 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: end of this week, so he was unable to play tonight. 54 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: You're optimistic for practice, were hopefully is. I just feel 55 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: like the quarterbacks didn't play well. I thought it was 56 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: a whole unit. We started slow. Um, I saw some 57 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: bright spots, you know. I thought Clayton did some good 58 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: things for as extending place. Um, you know, take a 59 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: look obviously have to make you know, completions with open guys, 60 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: did a nice job staying the one play, throwing the touchdown. 61 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: There's some other opportunity to take advantage of. In terms 62 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: of Mike, I thought the you know, function of the 63 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: offense you know, was smooth on him overall. Um, But 64 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: we have played better as a group you get on 65 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: the cover. I've not I've not any injury updates right now, guys. Look, 66 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: hopefully Kyle and some of the guys that left the game, 67 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: hopefully it's not too serious. We can get these guys 68 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: back out that are all working really hard for us 69 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: and doing a good job. You hate to see a 70 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: guy like Kyle or a guy like t J or 71 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: Cole to have to leave the game with some kind 72 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: of injury in a game, It's unfortunate. Sometimes that's you know, 73 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: the nature of the game that you don't want to 74 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: see any player on either team get hurt. You know, 75 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: you always want every team to come out completely healthy. Um, 76 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: So we'll find out what that is. And again we're 77 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: hoping for the best and we'll get these guys as 78 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: well as we can StAst weekend in shape. You know, 79 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: Kenny is a tough dude, and he's a football player, 80 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: and you know, having to kind of answer the bell 81 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: right there and play sixty minutes. And as you said, Tom, 82 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. I don't think there's anyone out here 83 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: right now who's in shape for sixty minutes of football. 84 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: And uh, Kenny's a kind of guy that's you're not 85 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: gonna turn anything down. You know. We signed Ted, you know, 86 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: on a short notice yesterday that really the goal was 87 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: getting him ready for Cleveland next week. I didn't want 88 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: to do anything to Ted. You know, this guy's you know, 89 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: obviously an older player has been the league, has had 90 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: a lot of success. I don't want to put him 91 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: in a bad situation where he wasn't full prepared to play. 92 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: This guy isn't taking a snap in a training camp yet. 93 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be the right thing to 94 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: do to put in a live game action. What we 95 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: explained to him yesterday was it was basically a break 96 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: less situation. Excuse me, break less situation. If we had 97 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: to absolutely get an emergency, we'd put him in. We 98 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: were able to go ahead and navigate around that because 99 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: Kenny was a guy that's ready to play at the time. 100 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: Right to getting reps tonight seem like it's exactly I 101 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: thought Carter did a good job for so for all 102 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: the time. Now he had a couple of things that 103 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: we had to clean up, and you know, nothing was 104 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: perfect with him. But in terms of a motor, Carter 105 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: plays with the motor. He has a you know, he's 106 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: got good athleticism, he has good play strength, he shows 107 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: some instincts and obviously with us moving him back and 108 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: forth inside outside inside new to him. So there's a 109 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: lot of things that for him he's experiencing for the 110 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: first time. But I'd say he's flashed positively throughout camp. 111 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: He did a lot of things need to flash positively. 112 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: Have to watch the tape when we break down exactly 113 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: how he did. But you know, he's one of the 114 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: guys that we want to really see coming to this 115 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: game and see how he responded some different situations, both 116 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: on defense and the kicking game. And he was a 117 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: positive force tonight. So he's definitely a guy that you know, 118 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: shut up tonight to play and it made an impression. No, 119 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: not at all. I think Darius had a really good 120 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,559 Speaker 1: camp force. I want to give some just some reps 121 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: on the field. That's all that was about right there. 122 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that you know he was 123 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: out there with Mike, had the opportunity. Again, when you 124 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: have the time to work these combinations, you want to 125 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: go and do it. Playing in a preseason game for 126 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: a veteran is not a punishment. It's not a punishment 127 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: at all. In fact, it's the best opportunity we have 128 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: guys physically and mentally for the season. So every chance 129 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: we get to get them out there, that's something we 130 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: go ahead and we look to use as best we can. Look, 131 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: I saw enough from early on. I didn't need to 132 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: see a ton of them. It wasn't really that he 133 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: was out there to be truly evaluated all together tonight. 134 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: Everyone's always compete for roster spots, but I want to 135 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: get Darius some reps on the field tonight. I thought 136 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: would be good for him and Mike to have some 137 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: chemistry out there. They found each other a couple of times, 138 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: so that was good. Or a lot of young guys, 139 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: and you obviously need to watch the evaluations in particular 140 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: stick out to you guys. It's exact. I'm gonna hold 141 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: kind of blanket statements until I have a chance to 142 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: watch the tape. I could say, you know, I noticed, 143 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: obviously Carter I commented on already making some plays. The 144 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: camber down did a good job for us at the 145 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: gunner position. Thought Matt Cole showed up because you guys 146 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: were looking for and some of the kick covering stuff 147 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: right there, you know, c J Board a nice job back. 148 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: They're handling the punts. You know, did a good job 149 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: on the offensive plays or turned the kick off. So 150 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: there's a number of other guys, you know, before I 151 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: really get a chance to go, Andalu truly more of 152 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: the inside where you really can you know Theo's other guys. 153 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: You can see them play more in space. It's more 154 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: evident how they play in the game. You really want 155 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: to dig in a tape to really evaluate your front 156 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: that's happening. You kind of tackle the tackle, but you know, 157 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: we'll take a look at it and see. And I 158 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: had the best tessment we can for you. I mean 159 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: for any of those rookies, that's our first time in 160 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: game action the NFL. So to get out there against 161 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, any other player in the NFL that makes 162 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: some kind of a play, that's something you've got to 163 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: build on. Um.
