Speaker 1: Hey, Yeah, so Nate had X rays at UH at
Speaker 1: halftime and we found out that there is a a
Speaker 1: break in his in his left wrist, which is non
Speaker 1: throwing wrist. He'll have surgery in the morning to repair
Speaker 1: it's not it's not season ending, so we're excited about that.
Speaker 1: And uh, after surgery, we'll have more update for you
Speaker 1: probably Saturday when when we get back together. It's not
Speaker 1: season ending, so we're excited about that. I'll probably have
Speaker 1: a better update Saturday once he gets out of surgery tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Another quarterback. At this point right now, we're just going
Speaker 1: to continue with with who we got. We're comfortable with
Speaker 1: Cody and obviously get Clayton more work. Um, and you know,
Speaker 1: again this is not with Nate. It's not season ending,
Speaker 1: so so again we're we're excited about that quarterback in
Speaker 1: how long. Yeah, I mean it's you know, if that
Speaker 1: were that were the case, I mean, you know, just day,
Speaker 1: day by day, just getting him in the playbook and
Speaker 1: getting them caught up. But uh, you know, we're not
Speaker 1: at that point yet. I think your plan for well, mean,
Speaker 1: we're still gonna you know, we still have a plan
Speaker 1: with with not just him, but but all our guys,
Speaker 1: you know, all our starters, and and uh, you know
Speaker 1: obviously you know, we don't play the Redskins for a
Speaker 1: few more weeks, so um, the goal is to get
Speaker 1: ready for that, obviously, but uh, you know, I have
Speaker 1: to evaluate these guys in the next next couple of
Speaker 1: weeks and and and you know, see if see if
Speaker 1: they need to play in some of these games, and
Speaker 1: and make decisions that way. But you know, um, it's
Speaker 1: kind of uh, you know, you gotta be smart with it.
Speaker 1: You gotta give them enough work. They're getting great work
Speaker 1: in practice, which has been very very pleasing to me,
Speaker 1: and we're going to continue down that path. Would just
Speaker 1: change your mind if you thought about playing Carson's Um,
Speaker 1: these games wouldn't kind of make every I mean, every
Speaker 1: case is different. I mean, you know, um, you know
Speaker 1: if getting back to night, I mean, because this is
Speaker 1: not season ending, it doesn't change it doesn't change anything.
Speaker 1: You know. Um, we just stay stay on, stay on task.
Speaker 1: Before the injury, how do you think Nate was handling it?
Speaker 1: How do you think I thought he was playing playing well?
Speaker 1: I mean he was seeing the field good, great touchdown throw.
Speaker 1: Um had a couple opportunities and even miss missed a
Speaker 1: little bit you know, wide on a couple of throws earlier.
Speaker 1: But I thought he really had some showed great poise
Speaker 1: going in against uh you know, their their number one defense,
Speaker 1: you know, out there, and um, I was doing some
Speaker 1: really good things, kind of getting into a rhythm too,
Speaker 1: you know, right there before the half, and I felt
Speaker 1: like we had an opportunity to uh, you know, get
Speaker 1: some points there in the half, you know, first time out.
Speaker 1: I mean I've been there as a young quarterback. I
Speaker 1: mean obviously nervous and excited and wanting to do well
Speaker 1: and and uh, um, you know that all stems from
Speaker 1: you know, you look at some of the balls he
Speaker 1: threw a little bit high and a little radic. That's
Speaker 1: just it's just nerves and just calming down and and
Speaker 1: playing in these games. But he'll he'll get better, you know,
Speaker 1: He'll he'll get he'll get more reps now and and
Speaker 1: this will this would be a great, great experience for
Speaker 1: him to watch this tape and learn from for so
Speaker 1: many things. Saw so many younger guys, you know, offensively,
Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, Andre Dillard and Jordan a
Speaker 1: lot of both you know, did did some good things. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, looking looking out there, I mean, you know MARKA.
Speaker 1: Michelle had the big, big touchdown reception, uh Dallas in
Speaker 1: his second year. I mean, you know, he did some
Speaker 1: good things early. Um, you know, defensively, I thought, uh
Speaker 1: you know, Hal came in there once, he kind of
Speaker 1: settled in, made some made some plays on the d line,
Speaker 1: and and uh you know, there was just enough enough
Speaker 1: guys that uh you know. Um, one of the biggest
Speaker 1: things I think for me too is just getting tomorrow,
Speaker 1: just just taking taking a look at this film and
Speaker 1: evaluating everybody. Wanted to get everybody in the game. I
Speaker 1: believe we did that. Um, but those are just a
Speaker 1: couple of guys overall in the summer, how you like
Speaker 1: the coding guests are as you see situation you can
Speaker 1: go into this season. Yeah, Cody's you know, he's a
Speaker 1: he's a veteran guy. He's he's started the games in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Um, he's he's uh shown you
Speaker 1: know us he's been able to handle the playbook and
Speaker 1: and and sort of incrementally getting better every day. He
Speaker 1: uh you know, he gets out there and takes reps. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, looking looking forward, I mean we're not there yet.
Speaker 1: But but he's been in that role before, so he's
Speaker 1: accustomed to be in a backup if that's the case. Um,
Speaker 1: But but right now, we're focused on these next few
Speaker 1: days and and uh and getting ready for Saturday. He
Speaker 1: said was the starters, but he played. Was Um, you know,
Speaker 1: wanted to see him, you know, live, wanted to get
Speaker 1: him out there and and uh uh you know he
Speaker 1: and Miles Sanders kind of split the time there in
Speaker 1: the first quarter and see both of those guys together.
Speaker 1: You know, that was our plan going in again, just uh,
Speaker 1: you know, wanted to plan with to let those two
Speaker 1: has played the first quarter and then and then get
Speaker 1: the other guys in the uh uh in the game. Um.
Speaker 1: Other than that, that was that was really, that was
Speaker 1: really it. We've been born in port and at that
Speaker 1: protecular position to see guys live running back and see him, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's great to see him live, not only running
Speaker 1: the football, but pass protection, catching the ball. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: we got a lot of running backs right now, and
Speaker 1: so it gives everybody an opportunity, especially early uh in
Speaker 1: in in this this first preseason game for sure, to
Speaker 1: get to get everybody opportunities and and and touches to uh,
Speaker 1: to show us where they are and what they can do.
Speaker 1: Why not at a quarterback you said you're going to
Speaker 1: with the two guys. I can come out of retirement.
Speaker 1: I can come out of retirement. But he'd be all
Speaker 1: over me for that too, But not as someone when
Speaker 1: you have two other guys. Two other guys have names, yes,
Speaker 1: Cody and Clayton, and and you know, listen, we're, um,
Speaker 1: we're not there yet, you know, I mean, we're where Nate.
Speaker 1: Nate's gonna be fine. Um, you know he's gonna be back. Um,
Speaker 1: we're optimistic about that. And and then at the same time,
Speaker 1: you know, this gives Cody and Clayton opportunities to to
Speaker 1: continue to prove themselves right now and comfortable with them,
Speaker 1: you know, and and and with the ones with the
Speaker 1: starters taking the majority of reps in camp. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: it also gets Carson and those guys enough time to
Speaker 1: to get themselves prepared for the for the opener as well.
Speaker 1: Let's say Carson's not playing a whole lot quarterback to UM,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, uh, right now, we're you know,
Speaker 1: we've got we've got the three guys and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll see. We're not there yet, like
Speaker 1: I said, Um, we'll evaluate it in the next couple
Speaker 1: of days. Um, see how Nate does overnight. You know,
Speaker 1: our thoughts and prayers with him going into tomorrow, and
Speaker 1: we'll see that play that ain't got hurt on him.
Speaker 1: It's right before the half. You're probably gonna pull him
Speaker 1: at half time anyway. And it happened on a rough
Speaker 1: past penalty. So how frustrating is that considering how close
Speaker 1: he was to be done? Then listen, you know you
Speaker 1: look back and hindsight's twenty twenty. Um, you know you
Speaker 1: never second guess. I mean, it's just part of football. Happens. Uh.
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate for Nate that that happened right before halftime,
Speaker 1: but you know, look, it's uh could have happened in
Speaker 1: the first quarter, you know. Um, it's just the way
Speaker 1: it is. Did you think it was Um, obviously, you
Speaker 1: know rough in the passer you know, Uh, you know
Speaker 1: we had one later in the game on us. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's part of the game. Guys are playing hard, battling,
Speaker 1: you know, and and uh just just took an unfortunate fall.
Speaker 1: Thanks guys,
