I know he's 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:16.959 here today, and that's the expectation. 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.960 When was the decision made and when was he examined 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:22.600 to make to see if his back. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.520 We don't get into those details. That's medical stuff. And 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:28.600 but he you know, he has been cleared and we're 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:29.280 ready to roll. 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.800 The only dynamic that's changed here that would make him practice. 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.680 Today, yeah, in theory. 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.519 Yeah, if he does not practice, chooses not. 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.760 To, then we'll then we'll deal with that. 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.159 You told us you're impatient, and this thing's really dragged on. 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.240 Is he's just driving you crazy? 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:50.320 Yeah? 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:55.400 You you know, Fortunately, there's ninety players here, there's preseason games, 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.360 there's the work of getting better, and that goes into 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.240 putting a team together. But no question about it, when 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.320 you've got some of your better players, two of them 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.120 in particular, that aren't out there, you're you know, and 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.720 and you know that's your job. Yeah, you take a 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.920 lot of lot of pride in that. And you know, 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.160 I think you know one thing, we got a lot 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.120 of really good players, and we've rewarded a lot of 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.399 good players and that makes things tougher at times, but 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.880 you know, I I remain optimistic we'll find a way 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:26.360 to put the best squad out there, and really happy 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.080 with where this team's at. And uh, you know what 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.200 we do have to offer. The players out here that 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.640 have been here are working really hard. We got a 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.720 lot of love for the two guys that aren't and 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.640 we'll continue to work on that to try to bring 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:42.000 that to a resolution. Now, there's no updates there. I 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.360 mean there's good communication. We're constantly working thrown out ideas 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.320 to try to have a breakthrough and it just hasn't 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:47.800 happened yet. 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.040 Conication between you and Brennan. 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.160 Yeah, there's communication, and uh, it's a it's it's uh, 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.680 it's been ongoing, you know, with with Brandon, with with 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.600 his representative and you know on that one as well, 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.120 we just haven't been able to break through. 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:07.120 A couple weeks ago. 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.240 This team is close to a Super Bowl, as you 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:14.480 obviously were last year. Can you say that the franchise 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:18.079 is putting up enough money or financial commitment to make 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:19.799 sure you have the best chance this year? 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.280 Yeah, Well, First of all, Tim, I don't think you 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.480 can ever make an assumption that you're ready for a 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.960 Super Bowl. You've got to earn that every year. That's 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.400 nothing is given in this league. And we have a 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:31.440 very talented team. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:32.399 We have a very. 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:35.800 Proven team that's won a lot of games. But this 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.000 is a new team. We like our team, we feel 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:44.000 like we've improved, and yeah, this team has never fallen 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.880 short on resources since we've been here. We've been one 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.639 of the top spenders in the league. And I think 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:50.520 there's reason for that. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:51.720 We've got a lot of good players. 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.480 Our talent acquisition has worked, whether it be through the draft, 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.760 whether it be through trade, and as a result, we've 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.800 had a lot of top players in their leagues at 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.160 their at their respective positions. That's a good thing, but 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.160 it does make things tougher. Those are our challenges. Those 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:07.560 are the things we have to deal with. 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:12.200 Going back to Trent Williams, has he threatened to retire 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:13.120 at any point? 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:17.680 I'm not getting into I've always said that personal conversations 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.320 and things like that aren't aren't never going to get 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.480 told to to uh, you know everyone. Those are private conversations. 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.480 So I won't get into private conversations that Trenton and 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.320 I and Trent and our organization have had. 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:36.400 I've given your friendship relationship with Braindon's agent. Have that 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.040 changed the dynamical? Have you had to step aside at all? 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.840 No, you know, you you never know how that's going 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.480 to play out. You know, Ryan was my he's my 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.320 marketing guy for a bunch of years. You know a 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.480 lot of people say he's your agent. Well, my last 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.680 couple of deals I've done with Jed directly. That's how 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.320 I've handled my business. So that's worked well for me. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.320 You know, there is a friendship that but uh, I've 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.880 got a lot of friendships in this league with agents 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.000 and that that have developed over time. 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.440 It seems like you saw this standoff with Brandon, I 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.600 you coming a few months ago. Did this Did the 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:16.159 Trent Williams situation surprise him? Uh? I don't know that. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.880 I I saw the standoff with Brandon. I saw a 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.960 situation that, uh, we were gonna have to deal with. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.400 And and man, we've been trying for a long time. We 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.200 don't get paid to try, we get get paid to do. 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.040 And you know, I'll take accountability for anything that hasn't 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.360 happened but I won't I won't stop continuing to fight 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.960 to to find the best resolution, whatever that may be. 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.120 That the Trent situation. Uh, you know, things come up 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.800 and and this is you know, come up. Trent's a 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:49.360 fantastic player. He's a tremendous leader on this team. I 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.800 will never fall short on my praise to Trent and 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.360 what he's meant meant to this place. Uh, it was 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.160 a great day, you know when I got that call 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.800 from Rivera saying that that they would do that trade. 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.320 And he's been incredible since he's been here. So we 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.599 value Trent, We love Trent, We want Trent here, and 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:07.680 I'm hopeful that can happen soon. 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.920 Brandon, he's gotten to a point of like you'res waiting 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.120 to see if feel practice today. It sounds like it 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.559 could be disciplined if he doesn't start practicing. It doesn't 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:19.640 sound great. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.839 Are you disappointed? It's kind of level? 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.800 Yeah, sure, But you know I've seen these things look 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.800 dire before and they can quickly turn. 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:29.080 So that gives you hope. 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.719 You know that that we've been in these situations before 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.560 and those things can quickly be forgotten. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.520 So you know, we'll remain hopeful. 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.040 Communicated to Braindon's camp at any point, saying in a 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.840 less of weeks that he would be expected to practice starting. 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.120 I'm not going to get into our communication again, but 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:47.159 you know there's. 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.760 You know, at some point you got play down. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.160 There is the addition of Marshall in any way, are 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.159 you insurance they play kind of boundary X receiver spots. 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.880 That's just a good football player. We were very fortunate 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.479 to get in the building. I don't know what went 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:04.080 on Carolina, you know, I know that I got on 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.839 the phone with Terrence along with Lennard Hankerson and Kyle 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.800 and just told him about the way we do things, 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.680 what we thought of him coming out of college, and 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.160 that this could be a great landing spot for him. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.520 He's going to have to earn everything, but it's a 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.919 fun place for receivers to come and and thrive and 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.320 whatever your best is, I think you'll find it here. 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.719 So we're excited for that opportunity, excited for our practice squad. 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:28.920 It's tough to lose players. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.320 I think, you know Schrader Man, I love that kid 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.200 and everything he represented and the way he attacked it. 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.360 Sammy Womack had a really good offseason was proud of him. 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.320 I think we're deeper than we've been at corner and 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:45.160 so those are tough decisions that you have to make. 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.440 One more Jared Kingston, you know, Jarrett was doing some 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.760 really good things. You can't keep everyone really proud of 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.720 this rookie draft class. You know, there's there's there's been 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.880 some injuries, but I think we're getting healthy and we 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.680 have the right type of people, the right type of 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.560 players that are fits here. They're going to help us 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.479 a lot, so a lot to be happy with with 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.520 our roster. Will continue to work to get it complete. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.880 And uh, I can't wait for Levi's to be rocking 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:13.720 here and what are. 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.600 We ten days out, nine days out? It's coming. 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:17.560 That's fight. 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.440 It seems like when you drafted Cam Walkley last year 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.120 you knew that he might be a. 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:23.960 Bit of a project. 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:29.080 Did that go more slowly than you expected? Why tied 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:30.520 with him two years in? 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:31.880 Yeah? Cam did a great job. 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.000 Matt you know, had had two knee surgeries in his 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.960 time here, but couldn't have asked for anything more in 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.440 terms of his work ethic. I think we just kind 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.200 of you fall into some some good player. Salbert is 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:45.960 a guy that we went out and got in free 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.480 agency really has been a nice fine for us, both 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:54.360 at tight end and as special teams. Jake Tongis has 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.920 has been really i'd say a surprise, and Uh played 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:03.120 really well. So Braden Willis was a tough cut, but 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.400 he's back on our practice squad, so I think there 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.560 was just tough competition. And you know, Cam can do 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.240 a lot of good things. I saw he landed in 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:15.240 I believe Cleveland's practice squad, and I'm excited for him 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.760 and his opportunities. I mean, the thing everyone liked about 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:19.760 Cam coming in is he could do a little bit 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.360 of everything, and it takes I mean I always tell 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.720 players it took me till my third year to start 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.440 in this league and things went pretty well. So it 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.360 happens at different times for different players. 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.360 You want to be able to hold on, but when. 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.600 You've got a roster sometimes you've got to make tough decisions. 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.600 And that was certainly a tough one because Cam gave 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:38.480 us everything he had. 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:39.760 I think we've seen. 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.160 The final fifty three man moves yet today. But are 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.600 you still planning on keeping Logan Thomas around that room? 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.960 We'll see, you know, Logan's a guy that unfortunately had 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.800 a hamstring injury during camp. And you know, we like 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.079 what Logan brings to the table, and you know, we're 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:57.959 in contact with him. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:58.760 We'll see what breaks. 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.320 There's still a couple more fun I don't practice squad spots. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.360 Earlier today on kr Dante Winner said tonight he's going 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.600 to watch film with molt Mustafa and trying to get 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.360 him ready for week one. You know your Hall of 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.199 Fame safety would you watch film with Mustafa? Could you 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:15.400 can you help bring him along? 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.840 I mean he's doing all right, man, he's uh, you 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.600 know we it's always awesome when you think you see 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.480 something on film and then you see the person that's 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.439 even better. And uh, you know, Kyle talks a lot 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.480 about something that I tried to live my career. You 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.200 want to play with no hesitation. And when Malick sees something, 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:33.880 he goes and gets it and he can go get 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.400 it in a hurry. And it's not it's not perfect yet, 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.160 it shouldn't be perfect. He's a rookie, but man, he's 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.640 been impressive. He's going to make an impact on this team. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.160 I think we can all see that he plays fast, 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.160 he plays physical, he's a Niner and we're really excited 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.640 about what's to come. And you know he's got a 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.880 long way to go. Malick knows that, but he's a worker. 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.800 Danny Bullocks is doing a really good job. Love that 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.960 guys like Dante are around. But I like Malex a 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.520 historian too. You know, Ronnie was over here a couple 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.520 of weeks ago, and man, he was like a kid 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.200 in a candy store. Uh seeing Ronnie lot some of 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:12.000 the guys embarrassingly enough to know who he was. Malick 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:12.920 sure knew who he was. 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:19.040 Yeah today nothing today. 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.920 Yeah, feeling is to see poon he looks like Kyle 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.400 basically said he's a starting record. 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.640 Yeah, I leave that to Kyle, but he's been really 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.840 good to him. Uh yeah, yeah. 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.599 But this draft class kind of produced immediately. 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.080 We thought we really hit on this draft class. And 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.040 that remains to be I always tell people ask me 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.120 a couple of years down the line, but yeah, I 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.000 mean Ricky, Ricky is going to be a really good 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:50.560 football player. He's had some health challenges. Ricky's a good player. Pooney, 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.160 the way he stepped in Ernardo Green, He's everything we 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.600 thought he would be. He gets up, he competes, he's sticky, 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:03.160 you know, Poony stepping right in. What we loved about 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.120 Poony was his versatility. He played a lot of different spots, 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:10.240 played a lot of football. But man, that's a guy that, like, 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.360 you know, I'd be lying if I haven't said he's 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.680 better than what I even thought he might be, you know, 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.720 because there's always our style, the way we get out 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.560 and run. There's a little it takes a little time, 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.920 but he just took to it. And he's still got 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.880 a lot more in the tank. And so he's doing a. 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:26.600 Really good job. 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:31.320 Our three fourth rounders grindom staff and cowing, all of 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:36.400 them explosive, you know, bring speed their playmakers. So these 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.960 guys are all all doing really well. We're proud of 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.600 this group, but they got a long way to go. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.280 And obviously not being able to keep them all fifty three. Man, 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.360 was that a numbers issue up run or were you 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:53.040 guys more focused on keeping experienced? 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.959 We wanted to it just ran out of ran out 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.360 of numbers. You play the waiting game and think maybe 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:00.240 we can sneak through. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:04.319 It didn't work. So those ones hurt. Were you that 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:05.400 you were able to bring back? 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.719 The Drake's doing a really nice job. You know, he's 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.400 shown that it's not too big for him. 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:12.280 Uh. 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.640 At this level, center is a tough position because there's 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.280 a lot mentally put on him. Drake's done a really 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.360 nice job there and he'll be on our practice squad, 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:20.880 have every opportunity to get better. 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.280 But we're we're happy to have him in the building. 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.040 A trepidation to expose Mordecai the waivers and how does 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:31.440 that quarterback discussion? Uh, yeah, we felt we feel like 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.360 we have four really good ones and unfortunately, or maybe 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.240 a good thing for us, Tanner didn't get as many 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.840 reps in the preseason as we would have liked for 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.319 him to get because I think those the two guys 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:45.360 at uh, Dobbs and Brandon were fighting out that and 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:46.920 so we wanted to let that play out. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.040 Tanner is a talented kid, and. 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.440 Uh, we're we're happy that he's on our practice squad 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.480 and we're we're excited to work with him. 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:56.319 You guys have a. 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.360 Time frame for when huff would be people going and. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.360 Played in a game, going to be judicious, going to 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:02.880 be smart. 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.480 He's he's done a fabulous job, you know with his 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.720 rehab and uh, you know he's been doing everything he 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:11.880 can to the side.

He kind 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.160 of like to phase that in and uh, you know, 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:21.480 will he be ready week one? 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:22.320 Not sure. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.560 I think it's going to be tight, but uh, you know, 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.959 I think it's telling that we made the decision not 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.720 not to keep him on pup, bring him off and 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:33.160 we expect him somewhere in those early in the season. 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.000 So I'm real proud of huff And and his progress. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.120 He makes us a better team, So be great to have. 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.160 Him guys on the roster. 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.960 Kyle said, they think it was last week that he's 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.120 dealing with some injuries, that it might be a couple 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:47.840 of weeks that he might be I R designated. 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.439 What went into the decision. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:50.360 To put him on the fifty three. 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.280 Uh, well, when you when you do that, I are 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.400 to return, you have to you have to put him 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:56.000 on for a day. 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:57.120 And so that's what we did with. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.640 John and uh, you know, we'll have that opportunity to 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:00.760 bring him back at some point. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.600 Yeah, all right, guys, thank you very much.
