Speaker 1: The offense is a little struggling out there today. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know it's a mini camp, but what did you
Speaker 1: do performance?
Speaker 2: I thought it was good. I didn't get that same feeling,
Speaker 2: but that was good practice. And uh, I thought all
Speaker 2: three phases did a sold job.
Speaker 3: As far as training camp. And who's gonna be still
Speaker 3: recovering when training camp begins?
Speaker 4: Is it Mustapha? Are you Rourke and.
Speaker 3: Curvish Robinson as the ones who are unlikely to begin
Speaker 3: any anyone else on that list?
Speaker 2: It sounds close.
Speaker 5: I definitely didn't ask about the first day of training
Speaker 5: camp today, so I'm not sure. But that's a pretty
Speaker 5: good guess. Those all sound accurate A long way.
Speaker 3: Of me asking if any of the absentees for these
Speaker 3: camps might go into Lake A lot.
Speaker 5: Some could those like the ones you mentioned, I've done
Speaker 5: know all the others, but we'll do that evaluation firstday
Speaker 5: we get back from training camp. I think most of
Speaker 5: these guys are good. Just to help you guys with that.
Speaker 5: Let me see my injuries, all right?
Speaker 2: Are Brown I had ankle clean up surgery we're expecting
Speaker 2: back by training camp.
Speaker 5: Ricky Purcell pursal had a hamstring nothing serious, He is
Speaker 5: really pretty good.
Speaker 2: Now we're just being safe, so they'll be good by
Speaker 2: training camp.
Speaker 5: Alfred Collins is calf happened before the draft, pretty good
Speaker 5: now being smart with them. He should be good by
Speaker 5: training camp. Andre Dillard had his ankle scoped. He'll be
Speaker 5: good by training camp. Juwan Jennings calf nothing serious training camp.
Speaker 5: George Otom his knee just still rehapping from the season.
Speaker 5: He should be good from training camp. He tour, just
Speaker 5: some old knee wearing tear. We're just being smart with him.
Speaker 5: He'll be fine by training camp. Trent Taylor had his
Speaker 5: back he went on IR so you won't. Michael Williams
Speaker 5: just a tight hamstring. We're just being smart. Probably could
Speaker 5: go this week, but we'll just hold him for training camp.
Speaker 5: Ayuk Mustafa Curtis still.
Speaker 2: Dealing with their acls. Sure, only one minute left.
Speaker 6: Brandon, I was out there, but I saw since you
Speaker 6: guys have been back, just get interested to know, like
Speaker 6: what a conversation has been like between you and Randon.
Speaker 6: How's he feeling after coming back from Aco surgery. He
Speaker 6: is making his way back.
Speaker 2: He's making his way back.
Speaker 5: He's still in the middle of it. So he's working
Speaker 5: through that. You know, he's been around. He's been rehabbing
Speaker 5: for the most part, but he's been out to some
Speaker 5: practices and it's good to have him out today.
Speaker 7: Williams looked him a limited time he's been out here,
Speaker 7: but and and just how I guess vital is it
Speaker 7: to manage his work close so we can make it
Speaker 7: through a season healthy.
Speaker 2: I think it's vital, just the same as it always is.
Speaker 5: You know, we you know, when you get injuries, you
Speaker 5: get injuries, but we you know, with guys with age
Speaker 5: and the wear and tear and stuff, we just try
Speaker 5: to keep their legs fresher and stuff. And it's been
Speaker 5: good to get him here in two weeks of individual
Speaker 5: drills and things like that, and be shocked if we
Speaker 5: put him out there tomorrow. I don't expect to see
Speaker 5: him except for maybe individual and he'll be good to
Speaker 5: go for camp writer Kyle, he looks lighter. Maybe I
Speaker 5: haven't checked him out as hard as you have, But.
Speaker 2: What do you mean by that?
Speaker 5: I think he looks good though, you know, he looks
Speaker 5: in shape, and he's been in shaping his drills. He's
Speaker 5: gone through them all and he's healthy and right where
Speaker 5: he needs to be.
Speaker 1: Like a big picture talk like how much longer do
Speaker 1: you want to play? Do you do you need to
Speaker 1: know that is the way you built your roster.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think I need to know that or
Speaker 2: we need to know that right now.
Speaker 5: The stuff I talked to tren about not all the time,
Speaker 5: but every once in a while, but you take everything
Speaker 5: year by year.
Speaker 2: The defense I decided, right, I mean, I think he
Speaker 2: affects the quarterback.
Speaker 5: When you talk about just getting off the getting off
Speaker 5: the ball and how fast he does it, I mean
Speaker 5: he'll be our best get off the ball guy we've
Speaker 5: had since Steve Ford.
Speaker 2: So in terms of that it, you know, it's good to.
Speaker 5: Be tackles that way, but also widens tackles to help
Speaker 5: with the inside pass rush and things like that.
Speaker 2: And he affects a quarterback last year kind of Jake Moody.
Speaker 2: He's got the new sort of like wind up where
Speaker 2: he sort of towards his leg. What's your oppression of
Speaker 2: that field? Will has been going between the two uprights.
Speaker 2: I've liked it so far. Been good. He had a
Speaker 2: more challenging season last year, but christ Sarah talked about
Speaker 2: he still thought he had some good film out there.
Speaker 4: What did you see from life?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: And why was it so challenging for him? I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't think he didn't play that much.
Speaker 5: I think, you know, he sat for a number of games,
Speaker 5: and I just think that's you know, the player didn't change.
Speaker 5: It just didn't fits well their scheme, you know, and
Speaker 5: just what they do schematically and stuff. You know, I
Speaker 5: think they wanted to go a different traction on stuff.
Speaker 5: You know, they're outside guys dropping the coverage and things
Speaker 5: like that, being the three to four base and that's
Speaker 5: something we really never do.
Speaker 2: So it's a little bit different. But as far as
Speaker 2: just watching.
Speaker 5: Them on tape and stuff, he always kind of looked
Speaker 5: the same. I just don't think the opportunities were there
Speaker 5: for him.
Speaker 6: When he goes to Robert sala it was a play
Speaker 6: out there where Robert got all out in the middle
Speaker 6: of everything, excited for his guys, so they made a play.
Speaker 6: Do you see a difference in I will say the
Speaker 6: aura of the defense with Robert Salah back out there
Speaker 6: with the guys.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the guys, you know, there's only a.
Speaker 5: I'm guessing like three guys maybe four who were here
Speaker 5: when he was here last and so I think those
Speaker 5: guys have a lot of confidence in him, and remember
Speaker 5: it's time here and they probably expressed that confidence they
Speaker 5: have them in him to the other guys. But yeah,
Speaker 5: our energy has been great throughout the whole team, through
Speaker 5: the defense definitely. It's all has been great too.
Speaker 8: From Jacob Cowing and how he's come back to these practices.
Speaker 5: I think, you know, Jacob, I thought put in some
Speaker 5: of the most work that anyone did over the offseason,
Speaker 5: just you know, as far as doing it before Phase
Speaker 5: one started and then continuing continuing it through one, two,
Speaker 5: and three, and I think it's really transferred over into
Speaker 5: those other TA practices doing well for Yeah, I think
Speaker 5: Jordan's doing solid, he said, some good days, some bad,
Speaker 5: but normal.
Speaker 8: It's just the most the most speed you've had with
Speaker 8: your weapons. And are you excited about what that potentially
Speaker 8: could lead.
Speaker 3: To this year?
Speaker 5: No, I don't think it is, but but I'm excited
Speaker 5: about our weapons. You talking about forty times and stuff.
Speaker 5: There's been some groups that have been maybe faster, but
Speaker 5: it doesn't equate to better.
Speaker 4: You guys reportedly have a visit with Gabe Davis.
Speaker 8: Did you I mean, is that indication in heart that
Speaker 8: you could have interest in a veteran wide receiver at
Speaker 8: some point down the road, or you at least monitoring
Speaker 8: the market.
Speaker 5: I think it's how we handle every situation. We monitor everything.
Speaker 5: So I think Gays visited a few teams. He's a
Speaker 5: guy we've been a fan of in the past, and
Speaker 5: he wanted to visit a few teams and talk to
Speaker 5: them about mutual interest and we had a good visit.
Speaker 2: But that's stuff we really never stopped doing.
Speaker 4: Gus Browley bring to the mix.
Speaker 5: Gus, I mean Gus, I have as much respect for
Speaker 5: as any coach been around, going against him a ton
Speaker 5: how good he's been, and I just feel very fortunate
Speaker 5: to get him here.
Speaker 2: Saul has been with him for a long time.
Speaker 5: They have different personalities, but they're from very similar backgrounds,
Speaker 5: so I think it's really cool for Solid to have
Speaker 5: him to bounce ideas off of and kind of to
Speaker 5: challenge him in certain ways. And Gus also brings a
Speaker 5: certain wisdom just as far as teaching, how he communicates
Speaker 5: with people. He's always trying to help guys out around
Speaker 5: the building, and I think he's been one of our
Speaker 5: huge additions this offseason.
Speaker 4: Appeals for you for bringing in coaches whose fathers also
Speaker 4: had football backgrounds to get about you and the Koubix
Speaker 4: and Greasy was here and now McK lombardy, who's you know?
Speaker 4: He used to race dance to the phone, and here
Speaker 4: Al Davis on the other end of the line. And
Speaker 4: guys that have been football guys probably since their dads
Speaker 4: were practice. Is there is there.
Speaker 8: Something to that?
Speaker 5: Uh? Yeah, I think I haven't been in another line
Speaker 5: of works, but and I kind of find that people
Speaker 5: who've grown up around a certain profession have kind of
Speaker 5: been paying attention to it since they can remember three
Speaker 5: years old. It's not absolute by any means in any situation,
Speaker 5: but I do feel people. I feel those guys sometimes
Speaker 5: have an eighteen year head start over other people, whether
Speaker 5: they realize it or not. Like I always wanted to
Speaker 5: be a player my whole life, didn't admit to myself
Speaker 5: that I wanted to be a coach till probably college,
Speaker 5: once I started learning that I wasn't a good enough player.
Speaker 5: But you don't realize until you get into coaching how
Speaker 5: much you've been working on it. I mean, I just
Speaker 5: think of like every dinner I've had growing up, and
Speaker 5: I'm just sitting with my mom and my sister and
Speaker 5: my dad, and always half through, halfway through every probably
Speaker 5: every meal I've had since fifth grade, my sister and
Speaker 5: mom are eventually annoyed with my free agent questions, my
Speaker 5: draft questions, forty questions, like all types of stuff like that.
Speaker 5: And I think people are like that always, not always,
Speaker 5: but a lot with their dad. And if you're like that,
Speaker 5: whatever line of work you go into, you have a
Speaker 5: little bit of a head start, and that gives you
Speaker 5: an advantage, but you got to take advantage of that too.
Speaker 2: I'm not a drink question.
Speaker 1: If you could, you've mentioned it's a younger team, a
Speaker 1: lot of different people on it. How important is he
Speaker 1: an older guy? Obviously it was all the all pros
Speaker 1: and all the things he got, just his presence, his vibe.
Speaker 1: How important is he now even with a younger team.
Speaker 2: I think it's big.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think sometimes that stuff can be underrated
Speaker 5: and also overrated, but like I mean, everyone knows who
Speaker 5: trend is. It's I mean, just the query he's had
Speaker 5: been one of the best tackles to play the game.
Speaker 5: So when when you are a name that people have
Speaker 5: grown up watch and they want to see how you
Speaker 5: are in the building. I think it's always different when
Speaker 5: you're a thirty six year old and the position he plays,
Speaker 5: and if he's not someone that you're gonna ever recommend
Speaker 5: a twenty two year old or something that acts exactly
Speaker 5: that same way and go through that same path turns
Speaker 5: in a different time in his career than everyone else.
Speaker 5: But I love Trimp being around so people can see
Speaker 5: how much he does care about.
Speaker 2: Football, how much he does work at football. You know
Speaker 2: that by how he plays.
Speaker 5: But it's cool at his age and where he's at
Speaker 5: in his career for people to still see what he
Speaker 5: has to do to get ready. He has to do
Speaker 5: it for himself more than anything. But anytime you have
Speaker 5: the kind of credibility that someone like Trend has earned,
Speaker 5: anytime someone gets to watch him do that and watch
Speaker 5: what he puts into it is will always help other people.
Speaker 2: When did your dad start listening to your suggestions?
Speaker 5: He pretended He always did, at least most of the
Speaker 5: dinner until I would disagree with him, and eventually he
Speaker 5: would I'd get annoying, which is happening with me and
Speaker 5: my son every night right now, and my daughters too,
Speaker 5: and my wife.
Speaker 2: But I probably probably more when I got in college.
Speaker 5: There's a couple of things that came up and you
Speaker 5: start to realize there's some different perspectives and people look
Speaker 5: at it all the time, and I think you would
Speaker 5: actually enjoy it and call you a week later and
Speaker 5: be like, hey, what you were so adamant about all
Speaker 5: thirty of those things? Actually one of them you were
Speaker 5: right on, So maybe I should listen a little more sometimes.
Speaker 7: When Mac Childs was in here last week, he was
Speaker 7: talking about it relearned to trust Laceason and cut it loose.
Speaker 7: When you have a guy like that who had some
Speaker 7: early success and then didn't have success and has to
Speaker 7: kind of regain confidence, how do you kind of go
Speaker 7: about rebuilding that with a guy like him.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get him to trust what they do
Speaker 2: and let it rip. That's all I want.
Speaker 5: In practice, Like you go through all these practices and
Speaker 5: you never throw a pick, you're probably not getting better.
Speaker 5: I think that's one of the biggest challenges having you
Speaker 5: guys around. No offense to you guys, but they used
Speaker 5: not to report people's stats every day and say who's ahead,
Speaker 5: who's back, who's whatever. You could just practice and when
Speaker 5: guys played a practice that way, they don't get better
Speaker 5: at anything, So especially at quarterback. I mean it's hard
Speaker 5: when you get in that stadium and things like that.
Speaker 5: Not only are you getting hint for the first time,
Speaker 5: but now all that stuff counts. And if you don't
Speaker 5: let a rip and go through all that in practice,
Speaker 5: you're not going to get any better in the games.
Speaker 5: And then it's usually a matter of time before someone
Speaker 5: passes you up.
Speaker 8: How is this time between now in camp for both
Speaker 8: your players and coaches? What have you said to them
Speaker 8: about how you want them to.
Speaker 1: Spend that time.
Speaker 5: I mean, the biggest part is the work we put
Speaker 5: in already, like the work we put in since April whatever,
Speaker 5: since Phase one. I've I've been extremely proud of the
Speaker 5: guys and what they've done. You get, you put all
Speaker 5: that work in, and now we got these two practices left,
Speaker 5: and now it's one really and I mean, I almost
Speaker 5: want to cancel the whole week, But there's twenty guys
Speaker 5: out there who still really need this week. And then
Speaker 5: there's sixty guys who kind of you know, they're just
Speaker 5: trying to get through this and let's not get them injured.
Speaker 5: And that's kind of our biggest goal with everything everyone's
Speaker 5: put in the work. There's some younger guys who still
Speaker 5: need more reps, but it's knowing what you've done. Now
Speaker 5: get away from us for about forty days. Some guys
Speaker 5: can stay here. We have the weight room open, we
Speaker 5: have all that stuff, but get away, assess what's gone on,
Speaker 5: work to improve that stuff. So when you come back
Speaker 5: to really compete in training camp, you've put in the
Speaker 5: work and now you found a way to take a
Speaker 5: step forward. Like I remember, you go back to spring
Speaker 5: football or anything, and it doesn't matter whether it's good
Speaker 5: or bad. You put in all that work and then
Speaker 5: you need a certain amount of time to get away
Speaker 5: so you can can find a way to get an
Speaker 5: edge on people you're competing against. And that's that time
Speaker 5: for these guys.
Speaker 6: John Lunch talked about Christian McCaffrey just how impressed he's
Speaker 6: been with him. Obviously, Christian is such a consistent guy
Speaker 6: and his approach and everything.
Speaker 1: But is there anything that maybe has stood out to
Speaker 1: you that you've seen from Christian?
Speaker 5: If I said it, I'd be making up because Christian
Speaker 5: is I mean, he is a psycho in a good way,
Speaker 5: and so like he does everything imaginable every single day
Speaker 5: last year. He couldn't because he was bat on injury
Speaker 5: all last year, and the year's healthy, so he's right
Speaker 5: back to being who he's always been and it's really
Speaker 5: fun to watch.
Speaker 2: Thanks guys,
