Speaker 1: Confirmed with the ambry from yesterday with the forearm. I
Speaker 1: think he gets surgery tomorrow. And then one surprise for
Speaker 1: you guys, Kalia Davis messed up his knee in the game.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be about the same timeline. He's gonna get
Speaker 1: surgery on Thursday. There'll be some he'll be back sometime
Speaker 1: halfway through the year.
Speaker 2: Is it like an m c O or something. No,
Speaker 2: it was just.
Speaker 1: Some I don't know exactly what it was, with some
Speaker 1: stuff behind his kneecap.
Speaker 3: I feel like he had a pretty strong game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was one of his best games.
Speaker 1: It was really unfortunate. You know, he played Austin throughout
Speaker 1: the whole game. That's why he end and us we're
Speaker 1: real surprised that he had such a tough injury but
Speaker 1: found out after the game or this mort yesterday morning,
Speaker 1: and it's a setback. But he's had such a good camp,
Speaker 1: such a good game. He's in a good spot to
Speaker 1: bounce back.
Speaker 3: How did you arrive with the decision to cancel the
Speaker 3: joint workouts and was that a hard.
Speaker 2: Thing to do for you?
Speaker 1: It was tough because it was tough because we like
Speaker 1: to do it in the long run I was. I
Speaker 1: waited so long to make the decision because of how
Speaker 1: much we enjoyed doing it, But when we realized we
Speaker 1: were just doing it because we were enjoying to do
Speaker 1: it and trying to change in the monotony, that really
Speaker 1: didn't make it worth it. It really wasn't the best thing
Speaker 1: for our team, which is where we're at injury wise
Speaker 1: and stuff.
Speaker 2: And I love doing that stuff.
Speaker 1: We'd love to go out there, but the risk was
Speaker 1: too much outweigh the reward.
Speaker 3: Is there any chance that you could do that before
Speaker 3: the Raiders.
Speaker 1: Getting No, it's just such a quick turnaround, you know,
Speaker 1: with us playing on Sunday, having to fly out there
Speaker 1: and stuff. So we're not gonna scrimmage anyone this year.
Speaker 3: How much I mean we had addition to that, canceling
Speaker 3: the joint practice. How much do you have to kind
Speaker 3: of mix around with the schedule, just the practice schedule
Speaker 3: to take care of your team at this point.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I did today. Just we really,
Speaker 1: you know, we have a team in two different spots
Speaker 1: right now. You know, we had like twenty three guys
Speaker 1: missed practice last Thursday, really who couldn't played the game
Speaker 1: also and most of them starters and things like that,
Speaker 1: and when that happens, the twos and threes really got
Speaker 1: to take a heavy load today. A lot of those
Speaker 1: guys were sore, but a lot of the other guys
Speaker 1: hadn't practiced in five days. So we just did the
Speaker 1: ones today to kind of because they needed it. We
Speaker 1: took a lot really good care of the guys who
Speaker 1: were in two days ago.
Speaker 2: Changed up.
Speaker 1: Can give him a day off tomorrow so those guys,
Speaker 1: the twos and threes can continue to rest. The ones
Speaker 1: will recover from yesterday, and then we'll get three good
Speaker 1: days in a row on our own that we can
Speaker 1: kind of control and stuff not going against another team,
Speaker 1: and then we'll ever walked in and we'll have a.
Speaker 4: Game talked about how much you value those joint practices
Speaker 4: in the past, I mean you have concerned are you
Speaker 4: going into the season about you know, being prepared if you.
Speaker 2: Don't have them, no concern?
Speaker 1: I mean I think I said I value more than
Speaker 1: the preseason games a little bit, but I also value
Speaker 1: practice more than more than the games.
Speaker 2: So there's really no difference in that.
Speaker 1: You know, we never scrimmaged against teams when I was
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, never did in Cleveland, never did in Washington.
Speaker 1: So it's not something that you have to do. Never
Speaker 1: we did once in Houston, I believe. I just think
Speaker 1: it breaks up a monotony of camp. But we can
Speaker 1: generate that stuff with ourselves. Sometimes it's my school getting
Speaker 1: different schemes, but it all changes once a year starts.
Speaker 3: Anyways, would you think of the kickoff return in the game,
Speaker 3: and have you thought about the idea of maybe just
Speaker 3: kicking it through the back of the end zone and
Speaker 3: putting them at the thirty.
Speaker 2: It's only a five yard difference from a year ago.
Speaker 1: It's a hell of an idea. I haven't thought of that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're all talking about that, and no, it's
Speaker 1: that looks like it'll make a lot of sense once
Speaker 1: the season starts. But you know, this was our first
Speaker 1: week us doing it. It was our first week really getting
Speaker 1: more teams besides the Hall of Fame game and stuff
Speaker 1: to evaluate it. You know, when you can start there
Speaker 1: at the thirty and the average starting lines of twenty nine,
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't seem like there's that much of
Speaker 1: a difference or to really go with the risk of it.
Speaker 1: But also can be in an advantage too. You know,
Speaker 1: we'll see how good are eleven are that we put
Speaker 1: out there, how our returners are and stuff, whether people
Speaker 1: give you the opportunity for it. But it's kind of
Speaker 1: a wait and see approach.
Speaker 3: No, how much you love watching special team stuff, you
Speaker 3: have you spent more time on it because of this
Speaker 3: than you normally would. It.
Speaker 1: Trink came, Oh yes, I mean that specially because it's
Speaker 1: just something that we haven't seen and it's something we've
Speaker 1: got to keep discussing, and.
Speaker 2: And just the spacing of it and stuff.
Speaker 1: I think seems closer to more of an offensive play
Speaker 1: than a special team's play, So there are some similarities
Speaker 1: in that, but you know, there's so much unknown. So
Speaker 1: you know, the special Teams guy's been doing this for
Speaker 1: a long time, and I always believe the key to
Speaker 1: special team is just being sound. You always want to
Speaker 1: win the game on special teams, but the main thing
Speaker 1: is you don't lose it. And when you're experiencing with
Speaker 1: new things like this, there's a lot of unknowns and
Speaker 1: that's why we all got to be very involved in it.
Speaker 3: Chris comics value on specialties, but also it's split End'll
Speaker 3: bring it in.
Speaker 2: Here it's it's been huge.
Speaker 1: I mean it was huge first last year he stepped
Speaker 1: up made you know, whenever we needed him at wide out.
Speaker 2: He came in and made some big plays.
Speaker 1: He made some big plays in the Super Bowl wide out,
Speaker 1: he made some earlier in the playoffs, and then on
Speaker 1: special teams. We didn't think he would have to be
Speaker 1: a big factor on special teams, but just like everything
Speaker 1: he does, he's such a pro and figures everything out.
Speaker 2: You know, he was one of our.
Speaker 1: Best gunner in the Super both at a hell of
Speaker 1: a job at that and wherever we've asked him, he's
Speaker 1: been a hell of a job for us.
Speaker 2: I like about what's that? What do you think about
Speaker 2: Robbie Chosen.
Speaker 1: I've always been a fan of him his whole career,
Speaker 1: especially going back to the Jets when just the speed
Speaker 1: he's had on the way he plays for a guy
Speaker 1: who can run so fast, always sad he played physical,
Speaker 1: ran his routes very well. When you're a very good
Speaker 1: go runner, street runner, but also can run a slant,
Speaker 1: it's a problem. I love they has some experience in
Speaker 1: our offense with is being with Miami last year and
Speaker 1: we got him in on a workout last week and
Speaker 1: he looked like what we've seen from Chosen in the past,
Speaker 1: and we're excited to get him on board at this time.
Speaker 3: You said that Khalai Davis will miss half the season.
Speaker 3: Is that to suggest that you'll keep him through the
Speaker 3: cuts and then put him on.
Speaker 2: Ir Yeah, we got to figure all that out.
Speaker 1: But I mean, we're planning on Clean being around here,
Speaker 1: and we plan on him coming back and helping us
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 3: Is there a chance you'll play the ones in this
Speaker 3: game now that you're not doing the joint workouts?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a chance.
Speaker 1: I mean, usually I decide that based off how the
Speaker 1: joint practices go. And there's been times I've told them
Speaker 1: that we're gonna go and I'm gonna use all the
Speaker 1: ones and these joint practices a ton and not play
Speaker 1: them in the game, and the practices haven't gone the
Speaker 1: way I've wanted, and we've ended up playing them. And
Speaker 1: then sometimes they've gone exactly how we wanted and we
Speaker 1: didn't feel the need to play the guys and I
Speaker 1: don't really see much different going against ourselves. Well, it's
Speaker 1: nice for those days to get a day off tomorrow
Speaker 1: so we can have three really tough practices in a
Speaker 1: row where we've kind of build up to our mountain,
Speaker 1: which we say that with the most refs, which will
Speaker 1: be one of those. So we'll see how those three
Speaker 1: practices go and we'll make the decision what we think
Speaker 1: helps our team and the individuals for the game.
Speaker 3: You roster rules help with with Khalia, I know you
Speaker 3: could have I think two.
Speaker 2: Yeah it does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it helps a lot, not just with him, but
Speaker 1: usually every year there's a number of guys like that.
Speaker 2: Approach to a season is so different than than it
Speaker 2: used to be.
Speaker 3: Having twenty three guys out sounds really dire. But if
Speaker 3: this was ten years ago, how many of those guys
Speaker 3: would be practiced.
Speaker 2: It's a lot more, which usually hurts them longer. So,
Speaker 2: I mean, I love the way it is.
Speaker 1: You you know, you want to push guys that get
Speaker 1: in because it's so important to you know, to build
Speaker 1: that callous and go through all this so there they
Speaker 1: don't have to do it during the season when you're
Speaker 1: having to need guys to build that on a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
Speaker 1: That doesn't always help for Sunday, so it is more
Speaker 1: of a challenge. It's nice that you get to keep
Speaker 1: ninety to the final cuts, so you don't have to
Speaker 1: mess around with that, and it helps so much more
Speaker 1: just being able to keep sixteen guys on practice squad
Speaker 1: as opposed to the past. But we also don't go
Speaker 1: two practices in the day, which sometimes helps people. But
Speaker 1: sometimes when we used to go to practice to day,
Speaker 1: everyone was so tired and slow.
Speaker 2: It's harder to get hurt because no one can move
Speaker 2: that fast.
Speaker 1: So it's you've been on both sides, and definitely like
Speaker 1: the way it is now, I mean smarter the way
Speaker 1: it is now, but there's some give and take with everything.
Speaker 3: First or is going to be good is the reason
Speaker 3: he was drafted, but a little better than he expected
Speaker 3: at this point.
Speaker 2: Is that in line was kind of your assessment. Definitely,
Speaker 2: I mean we were excited about him right away.
Speaker 1: But you know, when when you lose the two guys
Speaker 1: in front of them, you know who both started a
Speaker 1: lot of games last year that you know, a guy
Speaker 1: gets thrown in there before you want to throw him
Speaker 1: in there, and sometimes that can make guys better, but
Speaker 1: sometimes when they get put in a position that they
Speaker 1: aren't quite ready for, you get overwhelmed and it takes
Speaker 1: you a while to kind of get that confidence back,
Speaker 1: and he's been good since his first snaps hasn't seemed
Speaker 1: too big for him. He's gotten better each day in
Speaker 1: practice and when you see that, you really want to
Speaker 1: see how it is in the game and see if
Speaker 1: anything changes. And he looked the same in the game
Speaker 1: as practice, so we're excited about that.
Speaker 3: Was potential time for help to come back.
Speaker 1: Where is yet and yeah, he's he's going to see
Speaker 1: his doctor on Thursday to get his you know, check up,
Speaker 1: and we'll see where he is after that, and it's
Speaker 1: going very well. Hopefully we'll get some good news on
Speaker 1: that and we can get him back in practice sooner
Speaker 1: than later.
Speaker 3: What do you think about Isa calor CON's performance against Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Uh, it was he got a lot of playing time,
Speaker 1: so you know, he was he's been our second guy
Speaker 1: that we've had in that situation, and I think Alfredo
Speaker 1: had never gotten longer than the last series, and so
Speaker 1: he started the third order. Jayln Moore got sick before
Speaker 1: the game so he couldn't play him, so we were
Speaker 1: down just one more tackle, so he got a huge opportunity.
Speaker 1: He got a lot of playing time, some good, some bad,
Speaker 1: but The main thing was he got it on tape,
Speaker 1: got out there, and I thought he got more settled
Speaker 1: down as the game went.
Speaker 2: When do you think of his staff.
Speaker 3: He had a big play, he challenged it, and obviously
Speaker 3: I'm sure he was happy he did.
Speaker 1: I mean, I loved how he played, and you could
Speaker 1: see how he did it on special teams.
Speaker 2: He had no hesitation.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a hitter, but sometimes guys getting that
Speaker 1: first game and they slowed down a little bit, and
Speaker 1: he was the opposite, and he showed up on special teams.
Speaker 1: He showed up on a third and two. They got
Speaker 1: to our middle third player, which usually is at least
Speaker 1: an explosive, and he met him at three yards, which
Speaker 1: is huge. The goal line stand was an unbelievable play
Speaker 1: if we had a missed assignment, so we had no
Speaker 1: edge player, so he was actually the middle third guy
Speaker 1: and just filled it real fast in him blink and
Speaker 1: he knows how to hit, so it's nice.
Speaker 2: The guy went backwards.
Speaker 1: Wilson George Odom had a baby, and then Braiden was
Speaker 1: just sore from the game. I didn't know if he
Speaker 1: wasn't out there or not, but we weren' gonna have
Speaker 1: to do any reps.
Speaker 2: You said that.
Speaker 3: Brandon I gives take a part in the meetings. Is
Speaker 3: there anything that he's able to do or has done
Speaker 3: on the field, whether it's just you know, running routes
Speaker 3: with the quarterbacks or anything of.
Speaker 1: That nature, not with us, you know, I trust Brandon
Speaker 1: knows what he's got to do for this year to
Speaker 1: get ready to play. I have a feeling he's finding
Speaker 1: a way to stay in shape and do those things.
Speaker 1: But there's a football shape element that I know he's
Speaker 1: here to get back to and us two, so hopefully
Speaker 1: you can get to that soon. But Brandon knows what
Speaker 1: he's got to do to be in shape for the season,
Speaker 1: and I feel confident he's doing that.
Speaker 4: Adam, I don't know if we've got an update on him.
Speaker 2: I think he's a couple of weeks away. One week
Speaker 2: away forgot to ask ankle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he rolled his ankle and a walkthrough last week
Speaker 1: and they said it was gonna be a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: Arrange that many guys are heard at this stage, is
Speaker 3: it surprising to you.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean I think we've had pretty
Speaker 1: We've been pretty fortunate the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: You know that never stays, so I don't.
Speaker 1: We've definitely been less fortunate this year, so a lot
Speaker 1: more numbers than we've been used to. But I think
Speaker 1: the the best news about it all. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: we told you about Ambery and Khalia, which are more
Speaker 1: serious and longer, but the other guys are you know,
Speaker 1: they're anyway from ten days to three weeks. You know,
Speaker 1: the guys that we expect to be ready for the season.
Speaker 1: It's always tough when you miss training camp. So hopefully
Speaker 1: you can get him back. But you know, we've had
Speaker 1: a lot of knicks and stuff that has made it
Speaker 1: harder to practice, but you'll take that over a serious injury.
Speaker 1: He's day to day with that, you know, I'm hoping.
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's not day to day. He's not coming
Speaker 1: back this week. I forgot to check before I came,
Speaker 1: but he's not coming this week.
Speaker 2: It just knee.
Speaker 1: Every time I say words guys, guys don't like them.
Speaker 1: So it's not an a c L. It's not an
Speaker 1: m c L. It's just knee soreness. Is that good
Speaker 1: for you? The irritation soreness doesn't feel right, and we're
Speaker 1: trying to give him time to get it better.
Speaker 3: With him not practicing at Murford not practicing is kind
Speaker 3: of the onus on how you know those guys, is
Speaker 3: he is the door wide open for poony to take
Speaker 3: it if he can see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: Anytime somebody gets starter reps, you know, it's always open.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't just give it away and stuff,
Speaker 1: and but it's always an opportunity. And you know, people
Speaker 1: get opportunities and you see how they take advantage of it.
Speaker 1: And he's doing a hell of a job so far.
Speaker 2: All right, thanks guys,
