1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Uh, yesterday was really good. I think

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: both teams got what they wanted out of the practice,

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: which is good work. Um and um. You know you

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: want the same thing today. You know, the pads are off,

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean you can't practice fast and and

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: um and still get some still get some good work in.

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: So that's uh, that's the goal, you know obviously these

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: two days. And and really I think too for the guys,

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: get him out of get him out of our place

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: and get him somewhere somewhere else, somewhere new, and you know,

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: practice against some different looks, you know, offensively, defensively and

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: and um, our guys have handled it well. Finally on

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: the field, And what did you think about his first

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: training camp practice? Yeah, it was good to see him

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: out there, you know, And as we've talked, we we

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: try to increase his reps each day and hopefully he'll

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: get a few more today. And you know, I would

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: say this, it's uh, you can see the nerves and

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: the jitter the jitterbugs, you know, floating around in him

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: a little bit out there, but he settled in. I

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: had a nice practice. Uh, you know, good to see him. Good,

22
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: see him back out there Les yesterday and where do

23
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: you stand there? Yeah, you know, I think another big

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: day for him today. You know, Juwan is really um

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: I think he's played consistent, played well. You know, Walker's

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: right there with him. I mean it's a it's still

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: it's still a little bit of a competition and they

28
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: both of them have done done some really good things.

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: Um uh this game, you know, we'll see, you know,

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: how much time each one plays. But um, you know,

31
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: we gotta make a decision soon because we're getting ready

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: for you know, for week one some time probably that's possible.

33
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: It's possible. It's good to be getting time on Saturday.

34
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: You should you know, if there's barring any setbacks, we'd

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: like to see him possibly the first quarters. H I

36
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: love Garden BArch, Tyler Shatley. How's that competition going in

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: its BArch gonna play on Saturday too? Yeah, you know,

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: haven't made that decision yet as far as playtime, but um,

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: you know Bart has done well there. You know, he's

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: settled in over at left guard if shot at least

41
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: done a nice job as well. But one thing with

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: Shott as he can he can move back to center

43
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: if we need to gives us a little versatility there.

44
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Robinson very involved yesterday and he still has been kind

45
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: of non contact jersey, but there was some contact there.

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Did you like what you saw from him out on

47
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: the field, and is he getting closer to where you

48
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with rolling him out there in week one? Yeah?

49
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: He was. He was impressive from the standpoint of hitting

50
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: his landmarks, you know, from the backfield. Um, and uh,

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, I get to stand behind the offense, so

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: I get to see kind of the vision of the

53
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: running back a little bit. And and I thought he

54
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: thought he did a good job of being patient. Um.

55
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: You know, when the hole opened up, he was able

56
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: to burst through it and and and accelerate and and

57
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: it really looks like he's been out there several weeks now,

58
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, quite honestly. Um. And he's another one that's

59
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: been excited to get back out on the field himself.

60
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: So hopefully the yellow jersey will come off soon. Get

61
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: the tree on today. What impressions have he has he

62
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: made on you at amp? And have you told him

63
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: anything about having so much pressure on him being the

64
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: number one overall pick and dealing with that as far

65
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: as the pressure goes, I just tell him to just

66
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: be himself. You know, it's gonna come with the territory.

67
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: He understands it. Just embrace it. Um, you know, it's

68
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: part of being being the overall pick right and and

69
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: um he's just you know, other than a quarterback, you know.

70
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: So uh he's handled that extremely well. But he you know,

71
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: the thing is, he loves ball. He just wants to

72
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: be on the field and he wants to practice. He

73
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: loves practicing, He loves being around teammates, you know, love

74
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: his athleticism, who he is as a person, hard worker,

75
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, and those are the things that we felt like,

76
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: you know when when we uh in the pre draft

77
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: process that we were you know, kind of spot on

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: with with him. But the people we talked to and

79
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: and we've just been excited with him, you know, um

80
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: and looking forward to the regular season with him. You know,

81
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: this whole training camp on offense is kind of been

82
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: a struggle on and all throughout camp. The first period

83
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: yesterday they started strong, kind of filtered off towards the

84
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: end of the second period much better though that You

85
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: like what you saw from the guys yesterday in the

86
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: red zone and where they're in changes or tweaks you

87
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: kind of made between the first go and the second go. Yeah,

88
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, and again with Atlanta too, it's you see

89
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: a little different style of defense than our own down there.

90
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: So that was good to see, you know, and good

91
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: to make corrections. In fact, Uh, in our seven on

92
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: seven portion of practice, we were inside the five yard

93
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: line and they had nine guys on defense over there.

94
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: So it just tells you it's a different style. You know,

95
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys in coverage, and you know,

96
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: it's just good looks for us. But you know it's

97
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna be that way. We're gonna get some, they're gonna

98
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: get some. It's good work. Uh, you know, get our

99
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: stuff on films. We can make corrections. I imagine you

100
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: were inization for the final preseason game matter very much

101
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: as a player, you talk to these guys at all

102
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: about that, you know it. It made a lot for

103
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: me when I played, you know, because I was the

104
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: guy playing in it, and um, you know, that's that's

105
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: my message to to the guys that are gonna play,

106
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: you know, honestly, the guys who get opportunities, because it's

107
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: really it's I don't want to say it's the end

108
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: of the road, because there's thirty one teams looking at

109
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: at these at these rosters, and and um, you know,

110
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: it can be put your best foot forward. You know,

111
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: it may not be with the Jaguars, it may be

112
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: somewhere else. And and that's the encouraging part for me

113
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: is just you know, the motivating factor, I guess is

114
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: it's just allowing them to go out and play and

115
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: and just relax and have fun, do their job and

116
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: and um, you know they're trying to make our team,

117
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: you know. But but other teams are looking as well.

118
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: There's making those find look cuts on you as a coach.

119
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's the hardest part of our business, you know. Um,

120
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get down from eighty to fifty three.

121
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: It's a lot of guys, you know, and you're you're

122
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: affecting a lot of a lot of lives. You know.

123
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: I was one of those guys you know, six different

124
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: times released in this league. And and um, but again,

125
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's not that you know their hopes and

126
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: dreams are over. It's just just maybe they have to

127
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 1: go somewhere else. And then you know, you got practice

128
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: squad with the increased practice squad rosters now and and

129
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: the ability to keep some veteran players they're um really

130
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: helps you know, keep more more athletes, more football players.

131
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: Does that increased practice school I kind of play into

132
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,119
Speaker 1: as you're kind of deciding those last like tin roster

133
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: spots and you look at the guys that, well, you

134
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: might be able to kind of put him over here.

135
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: Now it's hard to put him over there because you

136
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: got to release him for you know a period of time.

137
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: You know, if you're gonna do that, and you just

138
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: hope they clear you know, the waivers you can bring

139
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: them back. I mean, that's the that's the nature of

140
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: the beast. Every every team is gonna go. Man, we

141
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: got these last five to eight guys that we definitely

142
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: like want to keep, but there's a bunch of teams

143
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: looking at them too, so, um, you know it's tough.

144
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: But but you know, listen, Um, you know, I hope

145
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: they get picked up. Quite honestly, we'd love to keep them,

146
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: but I hope they get you know, to an active

147
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: roster somewhere or or even to a practice squad somewhere. Um,

148
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: it means that they did enough to to warn a

149
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: job boy Lucan been playing for you all. He's coming

150
00:06:53,760 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: over from the land. Great, oh you know, help you

151
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: all out over there. Um, I'll tell you this. His

152
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: leadership number one. Um, by the way he by the

153
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: way he handles his business on and off the field.

154
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: He's a tremendous leader off the field. In the locker

155
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: room with the guys, and fit in right away, hard worker.

156
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: You know, those are the things that the guys see

157
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: and they want out of your middle linebacker, the guy

158
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: that's making all the calls, and and he's just been

159
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: a great addition to us. I was there for a

160
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: couple of those six cuts in Green Bay. Uh. Yeah,

161
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: there was a few up there, a few of South Florida.

162
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: So I've been around a while in Atlanta. Boat that

163
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: are doing two of these joint practices. Have you seen

164
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: the value of them? PostScript? I mean, did you change

165
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: your identity or your priority from Joint one to Joint two?

166
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: This is our first. We only did one. Yeah, yeah,

167
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: we've done one. Um, I'll tell you this, I've done

168
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: them before in my past. I really like him, you know,

169
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: I really like him, and and and it's a matter

170
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,119
Speaker 1: of just I think the head coach is getting together

171
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: communicating a little bit of philosophy and what we're trying

172
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: to get done. And that's what Coach Smith and I did,

173
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: and and uh and how we communicate with our football

174
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: team and what we're trying to get accomplished in in

175
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: in a couple of days. And and I think you

176
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: saw it yesterday. There was some there was some really

177
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: good work being done. There was some you know, there

178
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: were some collisions, there were there were all the things

179
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: you want from a practice, but just we didn't have

180
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: all the extracurricular And that's again it's a credit to

181
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: the players, you know, for for owning that. And and UM,

182
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, I've learned from the first two that I've

183
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: been a part of, you know, UM, and and you

184
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: you learned, you learned from that. And I think the

185
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: Falcons learned from last week, you know with the Jets

186
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: and and UM they've been really good for us conversations.

187
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: How much do you say, okay, hey, blitz, pick off

188
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: the showing certain folks and things like that. Are you

189
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: just kind of let team scheme on each side of

190
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: what they do. We you know, one of the things

191
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: I stay away from blitz team blitz periods, UM because

192
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: it just it. It tends to get ramp up a

193
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: little bit. And it's a non I don't want to

194
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: say it's realistic, but it's if if ten plays are

195
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: all blitz, I mean, everybody kind of knows what's happening, right,

196
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: I would rather than blitz during the course of a

197
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: team period. Yeah, and the eleven on eleven drills, so

198
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, but we know that we got to stay

199
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: off the quarterbacks. There's no cutting, there's you know, we're

200
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: protecting both teams. But at the same time, you know,

201
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 1: we're trying to get that work done. I want to

202
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: see a running back pick up a linebacker in the middle,

203
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, coming through the a gap or um, you know,

204
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: Luke Fortner drive back on a on a on a

205
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: looping end or something like that. You want to see

206
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff on tape. And and uh and

207
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: still get that good working he started out, you know

208
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: the word camp as a starter. How much of a

209
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: clime does he sort of have to make to get

210
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: back into that position. Well, I mean that's why these

211
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: practices here next week are going to be important to him,

212
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: you know. And and um, there was a lot of

213
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: lost time, you know, um reps on the field that

214
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: Chad got and and Chad's better for it, which is

215
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: good for us too, you know, but listen, we're we're

216
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: fortunate to have both of those guys here with us,

217
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we just got to do our job,

218
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: just coaches, to make sure that that Devon's caught up

219
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: to speed and and and he's prepared mentally and physically,

220
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, for for what he's about to face. What

221
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: have you see from Chad to make you confident and

222
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: if he has to go in there week one as

223
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: a starter, you know, Chad's really uh really kind of slowed.

224
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: The game has kind of slowed down for Chad. He's

225
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: starting to see things quicker, you know, make uh more

226
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: of those instinctive linebacker type moves um and and that's

227
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: what you gotta see. And that just comes from playing

228
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: and being out there. And that's what he's done. And

229
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: and that's what we now have to get Devon caught

230
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: up and doing under his melt with you guys that

231
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: you like what you saw from him now that you've

232
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: seen him on the field firsthand. And does he have

233
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: a chance to kind of make a late pushing that

234
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: left guard battle, maybe he uh yeah, he did some

235
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: nice things. I mean basically got him here. You know,

236
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: uh what when do we fly up here Tuesday? You know,

237
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: he got here late Tuesday night, a cool Yesterday morning,

238
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: he got a cram cram session with the offense, you know. Uh,

239
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: and we throw him out there. So here you go,

240
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: good luck, welcome to Jacksonville. Now, I'll tell you this

241
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: though he's handled it extremely well. Um, smart guy, he's sharp.

242
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: He was able to pick up a lot of things.

243
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: And listen he you know, when Tyler Shatley's playing next

244
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: to him at center, there's a lot of great communication.

245
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: Tyler's a veteran, he's a pro. He understands what's going on,

246
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, and and you know that's what you need

247
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: right out of those guys, and and they just help

248
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: each other. And yeah, I think I think he'll be

249
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: able to compete, you know, possibly for a spot. And

250
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: and um, you know, we'll see today and next week

251
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: and we're unfold and we're looking a guy for we're

252
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: just gonna make a position switch. Whether it's like Conna

253
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: with Rumla you did or other guys, what do you

254
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: look for as a coach and say, all right, I

255
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: want to go down this road that might take a

256
00:11:53,760 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: longer than a thirty second answer. Um not Um, you know,

257
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: I think I think you have to look at the

258
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: best interests of the player number one, the position that

259
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: he might be currently in and and as he his

260
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: skill set, his his ability to do certain things. UM.

261
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: I think about Jamal, you know, as a as a

262
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: former defensive back and transferring over to be in a

263
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, receiver kind of that hybrid type runner. And

264
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, the player obviously has to embrace any kind

265
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: of switch. You gotta have great conversation with them, be

266
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: open with them, and have that dialogue. I think. But

267
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, there's a skill set that that somebody possesses

268
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: that you know, you go, hey, I think I think

269
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: this will be a better spot for you. You know,

270
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: this is how you can help our football team and

271
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: then for him to special teams right returning. Um. But

272
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: it it's it's it's a little bit of a process,

273
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: you know. And if you're gonna do those moves, you

274
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: don't do them, you know, week two or three the

275
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: regular season, and you do them in the off season,

276
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: right when you give give these guys a chance to

277
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: make that switch. And I thought and have thought that

278
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: m especially in Jamal's case, that he's he's handled that

279
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: really well and he's embraced it and he's having fun

280
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: with it all right, thank you. Yeah,
