And uh, you know what 33 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 3: we do have to offer. The players out here that 34 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 3: have been here are working really hard. We got a 35 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 3: lot of love for the two guys that aren't and 36 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 3: we'll continue to work on that to try to bring 37 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 3: that to a resolution. Now, there's no updates there. I 38 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 3: mean there's good communication. We're constantly working thrown out ideas 39 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 3: to try to have a breakthrough and it just hasn't 40 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 3: happened yet. 41 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: Conication between you and Brennan. 42 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's communication, and uh, it's a it's it's uh, 43 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: it's been ongoing, you know, with with Brandon, with with 44 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 3: his representative and you know on that one as well, 45 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: we just haven't been able to break through. 46 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: A couple weeks ago. 47 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 4: This team is close to a Super Bowl, as you 48 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 4: obviously were last year. Can you say that the franchise 49 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 4: is putting up enough money or financial commitment to make 50 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 4: sure you have the best chance this year? 51 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, First of all, Tim, I don't think you 52 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 3: can ever make an assumption that you're ready for a 53 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 3: Super Bowl. You've got to earn that every year. That's 54 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 3: nothing is given in this league. And we have a 55 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: very talented team. 56 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 1: We have a very. 57 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 3: Proven team that's won a lot of games. But this 58 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 3: is a new team. We like our team, we feel 59 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: like we've improved, and yeah, this team has never fallen 60 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: short on resources since we've been here. We've been one 61 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 3: of the top spenders in the league. And I think 62 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 3: there's reason for that. 63 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of good players. 64 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 3: Our talent acquisition has worked, whether it be through the draft, 65 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 3: whether it be through trade, and as a result, we've 66 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 3: had a lot of top players in their leagues at 67 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 3: their at their respective positions. That's a good thing, but 68 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 3: it does make things tougher. Those are our challenges. Those 69 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 3: are the things we have to deal with. 70 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: Going back to Trent Williams, has he threatened to retire 71 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: at any point? 72 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 3: I'm not getting into I've always said that personal conversations 73 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: and things like that aren't aren't never going to get 74 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 3: told to to uh, you know everyone. Those are private conversations. 75 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 3: So I won't get into private conversations that Trenton and 76 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 3: I and Trent and our organization have had. 77 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: I've given your friendship relationship with Braindon's agent. Have that 78 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 4: changed the dynamical? Have you had to step aside at all? 79 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: No, you know, you you never know how that's going 80 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: to play out. You know, Ryan was my he's my 81 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 3: marketing guy for a bunch of years. You know a 82 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: lot of people say he's your agent. Well, my last 83 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: couple of deals I've done with Jed directly. That's how 84 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: I've handled my business. So that's worked well for me. 85 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 3: You know, there is a friendship that but uh, I've 86 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 3: got a lot of friendships in this league with agents 87 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: and that that have developed over time. 88 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: It seems like you saw this standoff with Brandon, I 89 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: you coming a few months ago. Did this Did the 90 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: Trent Williams situation surprise him? Uh?

I saw a 92 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 3: situation that, uh, we were gonna have to deal with. 93 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 3: And and man, we've been trying for a long time. We 94 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 3: don't get paid to try, we get get paid to do. 95 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 3: And you know, I'll take accountability for anything that hasn't 96 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 3: happened but I won't I won't stop continuing to fight 97 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: to to find the best resolution, whatever that may be. 98 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 3: That the Trent situation.

He's a tremendous leader on this team. I 101 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 3: will never fall short on my praise to Trent and 102 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: what he's meant meant to this place. Uh, it was 103 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 3: a great day, you know when I got that call 104 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: from Rivera saying that that they would do that trade. 105 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 3: And he's been incredible since he's been here. So we 106 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 3: value Trent, We love Trent, We want Trent here, and 107 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 3: I'm hopeful that can happen soon. 108 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 6: Brandon, he's gotten to a point of like you'res waiting 109 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 6: to see if feel practice today. It sounds like it 110 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,559 Speaker 6: could be disciplined if he doesn't start practicing. It doesn't 111 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 6: sound great. 112 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: Are you disappointed? It's kind of level? 113 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, But you know I've seen these things look 114 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 3: dire before and they can quickly turn. 115 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: So that gives you hope. 116 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 3: You know that that we've been in these situations before 117 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 3: and those things can quickly be forgotten. 118 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: So you know, we'll remain hopeful. 119 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 4: Communicated to Braindon's camp at any point, saying in a 120 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 4: less of weeks that he would be expected to practice starting. 121 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 3: I'm not going to get into our communication again, but 122 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 3: you know there's. 123 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: You know, at some point you got play down. 124 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 5: There is the addition of Marshall in any way, are 125 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 5: you insurance they play kind of boundary X receiver spots. 126 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 3: That's just a good football player. We were very fortunate 127 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 3: to get in the building. I don't know what went 128 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 3: on Carolina, you know, I know that I got on 129 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 3: the phone with Terrence along with Lennard Hankerson and Kyle 130 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: and just told him about the way we do things, 131 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 3: what we thought of him coming out of college, and 132 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 3: that this could be a great landing spot for him. 133 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: He's going to have to earn everything, but it's a 134 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 3: fun place for receivers to come and and thrive and 135 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: whatever your best is, I think you'll find it here. 136 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 3: So we're excited for that opportunity, excited for our practice squad. 137 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: It's tough to lose players. 138 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: I think, you know Schrader Man, I love that kid 139 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 3: and everything he represented and the way he attacked it. 140 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 3: Sammy Womack had a really good offseason was proud of him. 141 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: I think we're deeper than we've been at corner and 142 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 3: so those are tough decisions that you have to make. 143 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: One more Jared Kingston, you know, Jarrett was doing some 144 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 3: really good things. You can't keep everyone really proud of 145 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 3: this rookie draft class. You know, there's there's there's been 146 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: some injuries, but I think we're getting healthy and we 147 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 3: have the right type of people, the right type of 148 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 3: players that are fits here. They're going to help us 149 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 3: a lot, so a lot to be happy with with 150 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 3: our roster. Will continue to work to get it complete. 151 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 3: And uh, I can't wait for Levi's to be rocking 152 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: here and what are. 153 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: We ten days out, nine days out? It's coming. 154 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: That's fight. 155 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 4: It seems like when you drafted Cam Walkley last year 156 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 4: you knew that he might be a. 157 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: Bit of a project. 158 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 5: Did that go more slowly than you expected? Why tied 159 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 5: with him two years in? 160 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? Cam did a great job. 161 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: Matt you know, had had two knee surgeries in his 162 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: time here, but couldn't have asked for anything more in 163 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 3: terms of his work ethic. I think we just kind 164 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: of you fall into some some good player. Salbert is 165 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 3: a guy that we went out and got in free 166 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 3: agency really has been a nice fine for us, both 167 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 3: at tight end and as special teams. Jake Tongis has 168 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: has been really i'd say a surprise, and Uh played 169 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 3: really well. So Braden Willis was a tough cut, but 170 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: he's back on our practice squad, so I think there 171 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 3: was just tough competition. And you know, Cam can do 172 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: a lot of good things. I saw he landed in 173 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 3: I believe Cleveland's practice squad, and I'm excited for him 174 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: and his opportunities. I mean, the thing everyone liked about 175 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 3: Cam coming in is he could do a little bit 176 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: of everything, and it takes I mean I always tell 177 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 3: players it took me till my third year to start 178 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 3: in this league and things went pretty well. So it 179 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 3: happens at different times for different players. 180 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: You want to be able to hold on, but when. 181 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 3: You've got a roster sometimes you've got to make tough decisions. 182 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: And that was certainly a tough one because Cam gave 183 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: us everything he had. 184 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: I think we've seen. 185 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: The final fifty three man moves yet today. But are 186 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: you still planning on keeping Logan Thomas around that room? 187 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 3: We'll see, you know, Logan's a guy that unfortunately had 188 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: a hamstring injury during camp. And you know, we like 189 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 3: what Logan brings to the table, and you know, we're 190 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 3: in contact with him. 191 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: We'll see what breaks. 192 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 3: There's still a couple more fun I don't practice squad spots. 193 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 5: Earlier today on kr Dante Winner said tonight he's going 194 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 5: to watch film with molt Mustafa and trying to get 195 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 5: him ready for week one. You know your Hall of 196 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 5: Fame safety would you watch film with Mustafa? Could you 197 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 5: can you help bring him along? 198 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 3: I mean he's doing all right, man, he's uh, you 199 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 3: know we it's always awesome when you think you see 200 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 3: something on film and then you see the person that's 201 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 3: even better. And uh, you know, Kyle talks a lot 202 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: about something that I tried to live my career. You 203 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 3: want to play with no hesitation. And when Malick sees something, 204 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 3: he goes and gets it and he can go get 205 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 3: it in a hurry. And it's not it's not perfect yet, 206 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 3: it shouldn't be perfect. He's a rookie, but man, he's 207 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 3: been impressive. He's going to make an impact on this team. 208 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: I think we can all see that he plays fast, 209 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 3: he plays physical, he's a Niner and we're really excited 210 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: about what's to come. And you know he's got a 211 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: long way to go. Malick knows that, but he's a worker. 212 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 3: Danny Bullocks is doing a really good job. Love that 213 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 3: guys like Dante are around. But I like Malex a 214 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 3: historian too. You know, Ronnie was over here a couple 215 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: of weeks ago, and man, he was like a kid 216 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 3: in a candy store. Uh seeing Ronnie lot some of 217 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 3: the guys embarrassingly enough to know who he was. Malick 218 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 3: sure knew who he was. 219 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: Yeah today nothing today. 220 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, feeling is to see poon he looks like Kyle 221 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 4: basically said he's a starting record. 222 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I leave that to Kyle, but he's been really 223 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: good to him. Uh yeah, yeah. 224 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,599 Speaker 4: But this draft class kind of produced immediately. 225 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 3: We thought we really hit on this draft class. And 226 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 3: that remains to be I always tell people ask me 227 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 3: a couple of years down the line, but yeah, I 228 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 3: mean Ricky, Ricky is going to be a really good 229 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 3: football player. He's had some health challenges. Ricky's a good player. Pooney, 230 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 3: the way he stepped in Ernardo Green, He's everything we 231 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 3: thought he would be. He gets up, he competes, he's sticky, 232 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 3: you know, Poony stepping right in. What we loved about 233 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 3: Poony was his versatility. He played a lot of different spots, 234 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 3: played a lot of football. But man, that's a guy that, like, 235 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 3: you know, I'd be lying if I haven't said he's 236 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 3: better than what I even thought he might be, you know, 237 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 3: because there's always our style, the way we get out 238 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 3: and run. There's a little it takes a little time, 239 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: but he just took to it. And he's still got 240 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: a lot more in the tank. And so he's doing a. 241 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: Really good job. 242 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 3: Our three fourth rounders grindom staff and cowing, all of 243 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: them explosive, you know, bring speed their playmakers. So these 244 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 3: guys are all all doing really well. We're proud of 245 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 3: this group, but they got a long way to go. 246 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: And obviously not being able to keep them all fifty three. Man, 247 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: was that a numbers issue up run or were you 248 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 2: guys more focused on keeping experienced? 249 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 3: We wanted to it just ran out of ran out 250 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: of numbers. You play the waiting game and think maybe 251 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 3: we can sneak through. 252 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: It didn't work. So those ones hurt. Were you that 253 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: you were able to bring back? 254 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 3: The Drake's doing a really nice job. You know, he's 255 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: shown that it's not too big for him. 256 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: Uh. 257 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 3: At this level, center is a tough position because there's 258 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: a lot mentally put on him. Drake's done a really 259 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 3: nice job there and he'll be on our practice squad, 260 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 3: have every opportunity to get better. 261 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: But we're we're happy to have him in the building. 262 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 3: A trepidation to expose Mordecai the waivers and how does 263 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 3: that quarterback discussion? Uh, yeah, we felt we feel like 264 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: we have four really good ones and unfortunately, or maybe 265 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 3: a good thing for us, Tanner didn't get as many 266 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 3: reps in the preseason as we would have liked for 267 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 3: him to get because I think those the two guys 268 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 3: at uh, Dobbs and Brandon were fighting out that and 269 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: so we wanted to let that play out. 270 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: Tanner is a talented kid, and. 271 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 3: Uh, we're we're happy that he's on our practice squad 272 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: and we're we're excited to work with him. 273 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: You guys have a. 274 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: Time frame for when huff would be people going and. 275 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: Played in a game, going to be judicious, going to 276 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: be smart. 277 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: He's he's done a fabulous job, you know with his 278 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 3: rehab and uh, you know he's been doing everything he 279 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 3: can to the side.
