1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: So we're making a quarterback switch here from from Daniel,

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go with Tommy. I spoke with all

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks this morning before a morning meeting, let them

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: know with the direction.

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: That we're going.

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Those are never easy conversations. Got a lot of respect

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: for for all three of those guys, you know, after

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, evaluating a bunch of things and looking at

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: a lot of tape and being around Tommy last year

10
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: where he created a little bit of a spark for us.

11
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: That's the reason why we're going with Tommy. Uh, Drew

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: will be the backup, continue to work with him. He's

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: been nothing but a pro and and as as was Daniel.

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: So it's it's never an easy, every easy conversation to

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: have with with the players. But felt like this was

16
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: a necessary move for us and look forward to working

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: with with Tommy and getting him ready to go against Tampa.

18
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 3: A couple of quick things watch now with the move

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 3: obviously is to buy you're on a five game loser street.

20
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 4: But why now, actually, you know, make the move with Daniel?

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you you know you said some of

22
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: those things were obviously not playing the way any of

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: us want to play, and that's on all of us.

24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: But felt like this was a decision that we needed

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: to make here and try to spark things, change things up,

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: and you know, we went and did it with with

27
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: Tommy Again. We spent a lot of time here over

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: the last week of evaluating a lot of things and

29
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: just felt like this was the best thing for us.

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: And one more quick one.

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: Obviously, you guys signed Drew, gave him up, you know,

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: a decent contract, and he was the backup in every game,

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: so usually the backup gets the call and not the

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: number three guy.

35
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 4: Why you know, flipping over him to go to Tommy.

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand the question. Again. I got a lot

37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,639
Speaker 2: of confidence and Drew the way he's.

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Handled himself since he's been here, and he handled this

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: well too, being a professional. Again Tommy, we've been with

40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: Tommy here for a little bit. He's he's done a

41
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: nice job, I would say, throughout practices here. But also

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: you have something to by by going back and watching

43
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: him operate some of our stuff from last year. Uh,

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: this is no indication on on Drew whatsoever. He's been

45
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: been excellent for us. It was more about what I

46
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: felt Tommy. Tommy gave us.

47
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 4: Yep, Friday, China Games.

48
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: How are you hi, Patty? I have you sure?

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: First off, can you tell us when the decision was made?

50
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: Did you make it this morning? Did you make it

51
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: over the weekend?

52
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? It was.

53
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: It's you know, been doing a lot of work over

54
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: the bye week, including Saturdays and Sundays.

55
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 5: Uh.

56
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: And you know, felt felt comfortable this morning coming in

57
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: and letting those guys know before the meeting so we

58
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: can get you know, kind of the week started here

59
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: and and get down to Tampa preparations. But I didn't

60
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: want to make a decision right after the game, you know,

61
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: however that game went. I wanted to take our time

62
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: and you know, watch a lot of tape, not just

63
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: this year, is last year, some other things too, and

64
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: and you know, try to make the best decision we

65
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 1: can make for our team.

66
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: And you know that's what I did.

67
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: And then my second question for you is, you know

68
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: you you mentioned having had Tommy before, how much, if anything,

69
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: given where you're at, the personnel you have, how much

70
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 3: do you tweak to maybe better suit Tommy versus what

71
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 3: you had with Daniel.

72
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

73
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, that's what we'll be doing here.

74
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: You know, over the next course of this week and

75
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: getting ready for Tampa Bay. You know, Tommy has his

76
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: strength that we'd like to try to utilize, and we'll

77
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: try to put the game plan together that's best for

78
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: our football team, but also is conducive for him to

79
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: go out there and play well.

80
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 6: Thank you yep, Rner, Hey, coach, you could get a

81
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 6: spark now. So so what do you say to the

82
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 6: fans who don't want to sacrifice.

83
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 7: Higher basement in the draft in order to try to

84
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 7: get victories in the remaining seven games.

85
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, we have a lot of football in front

86
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: of us. I think we all need to be committed

87
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: to doing everything we can do to close out the

88
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: season in the right way and and just take it

89
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: one week at a time.

90
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: And that's where really our focus is going.

91
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: To be is with Tampa and you know, certainly all

92
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: the issues that they present defensively, particularly on the offensive

93
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: side speaking and you know, the only thing we control

94
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: is our response of you know, this is this is

95
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: how the season has been so far. It doesn't dictate

96
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: where the season's going. You know, we put a lot

97
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: of time, effort, and energy into this and that's what

98
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: we'll We'll all do.

99
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 8: With you said, you said logo remained number two, right,

100
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 8: he will? So why Daniel going from one to three?

101
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? Again, I just you know, I'm gonna get.

102
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: Into the you know, the particulars of the conversation. I

103
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: think Drew's been doing a good job. Again, we're shaking

104
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: things up Dan obviously putting Tommy there at the at

105
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: the one, and you know we'll do we'll do the

106
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: same thing here, keeping Drew with the two and keep

107
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: working with him.

108
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 4: Well, Daniel remained with the team.

109
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 8: Practice in situations like this in the past, I feel

110
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 8: like maybe Derek Carfe years ago just kind of went home.

111
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 4: Uh will Daniel do that?

112
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, understand a question. No, he's here.

113
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: He's here, and you know again we had we had

114
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: to talk right before the meeting today.

115
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: Never easy.

116
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: Got a lot of respect for for how he goes

117
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: about his business, for how Drew does, for how Tommy does.

118
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: Those aren't easy conversations. But nope, he's here.

119
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 8: And last one, you know, you said you've done a

120
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 8: lot of evaluation looking back at last year this year,

121
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 8: I think, why do you think you weren't able to

122
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 8: get Daniel to, let alone raise his level play? Just

123
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 8: get back to the level play he had in twenty

124
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 8: twenty two.

125
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's that's an all encompassing you know,

126
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: that's that's on everybody. That's just not on Daniel, you know,

127
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: that's on me, that's on that's that's on an entire

128
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: offense of uh, you know performance. So again, making this

129
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: decision to you know, try to spark it, to give

130
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: Tommy an opportunity again, he did some nice things when

131
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: he was in there, and he played as a rookie

132
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: h And I know he's he's eager for the opportunity.

133
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: N Brian.

134
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 7: Are there any other personnel changes that you're going to

135
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 7: be making on either side of the ball here?

136
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say, you know, that's specific based on

137
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: the packages that we have tom personnel groups offensively or defensively,

138
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, a lot more, a lot less than this.

139
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: Obviously where you just see the quarterback situation.

140
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: But there'll be different guys mixing in and out, and

141
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: we'll take a look at some of these guys that

142
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: have done a nice job, you know since they've been here,

143
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: of maybe they haven't had as many reps, but or

144
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: we implement them into some personnel groups and that's what

145
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: we'll do here all the next couple of days when

146
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: we get ready for Tampa's to decide, you know, where

147
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: these guys fit, right.

148
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: And then just with Tommy obviously we haven't seen him

149
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 4: a lot since training camp.

150
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 8: Just I guess where have you seen the most growth

151
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 8: from him since last we saw him in the in

152
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 8: the preseason games?

153
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

154
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: I think again, you go by the meetings that you

155
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: have with these guys. He's out there practicing and taking

156
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: show team reps and doing those type of things, and

157
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: I think he has good fundamentals.

158
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: I think he's got good quick release.

159
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: But it's it's really some of the things in the

160
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: meeting room when you're talking about tape, you're talking about

161
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: pressure packages or reidentifications or checks and things like that.

162
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: He's you know, he plays.

163
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: He's played almost seven hundred snaps for US pre season

164
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: and regular season included, so you know, experience helps.

165
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: So we'll do everything we can to get him ready.

166
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 8: Could you continue to have those I think it was

167
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 8: daily meetings or weekly meetings that you had with.

168
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: Him last year.

169
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've had I've had some of them again, Obviously

170
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: the time has spread out a little bit differently. I've

171
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: had some of them with him, and again, we're just

172
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: trying to develop him the best we can. And you

173
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: know he's done a good job of taking to the

174
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: coaching thank you.

175
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: Yep.

176
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: I don't want to ignore the elephant in the room.

177
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 9: So you benched in your jones, it's his future with

178
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 9: this franchise beyond this season.

179
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, under understand a question.

180
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 1: Right, We're just we're just focused here on this week

181
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: and the decision that we made to get these guys

182
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: ready to go.

183
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: That's where that's where our focus is.

184
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 9: But I'm sure Daniel asked you. I mean I would

185
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 9: assume Daniel asked you that question, right.

186
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 4: Did that come up?

187
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 9: Is that something you guys discussed.

188
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll keep the conversation that we had between us.

189
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 9: And then regarding Tommy Davis, if I get it, you're

190
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 9: confident in him now. But I think that would lead

191
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 9: anybody to say, well, why if you're confident in him now,

192
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 9: why he hasn't played since last year? So why was

193
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 9: Drew Locke signed? Why did Why are you more confident

194
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 9: in him now than you were in March to make

195
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 9: him the backup or any of the first eleven weeks

196
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 9: when you could have made him the number two instead

197
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 9: of Drew Locke.

198
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, understand a question. Right.

199
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: Again, we went back and we looked at a lot

200
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: of stuff, We talked about a lot of things, and

201
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: just felt like this was the right move at this

202
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: time for us. So Tommy be you know, working hard

203
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: to get ready to play, and I know Drew will

204
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: be a good teammate with him, and you know, we're

205
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: just focus on trying to get better and get ready

206
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: for this week.

207
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 4: Yep, we'll take four more. Connor Hughes.

208
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 6: Having a little bit of what Dunlevy had just said.

209
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 6: I mean, if if you're confident in Tommy, now, why

210
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 6: was he not given a realistic opportunity during the summer

211
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 6: to be the backup quarterback or compete for the backup

212
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 6: quarterback job? And now just eleven weeks later, it seems

213
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 6: like he's going all the way up the depth chart.

214
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think.

215
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: Look like I said, Tommy has been improving since he's

216
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: been here. Again, half confidence and Drew as well. Just

217
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: felt like this was the right move to make.

218
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: Connor with with.

219
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 7: Tommy when you when when you took Daniel out against

220
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 7: the Eagles and then the next week you put him

221
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 7: back in as the start against the Steelers.

222
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 10: You said the reason was because he gave you the

223
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 10: best chance. Do you no longer believe that's true, that

224
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 10: he gives you the best chance?

225
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think.

226
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: Look, I'm excited to see what Tommy brings to the table.

227
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: That's why he's out there. Pat Again, we did a

228
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: lot of you know, we did a lot of We

229
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: had a lot of conversations, studied a lot of stuff,

230
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: and again, have confidence in Tommy and that's the reason

231
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: why he's in there.

232
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: Has Tommy out played Drew in practice?

233
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: I'd say they've both done a good job and the

234
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: things that we've asked him to do, the look teams,

235
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: the preparation, being ready to go in case their numbers called.

236
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: Again.

237
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: You know, the conversation that that we have with Drew

238
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: this morning was.

239
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: A productive one.

240
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: Obviously, it's you know, he'd liked to be the starter,

241
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: and I understand that. But again, the spark that Tommy gave,

242
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: not just i'd say the offense, but the team last

243
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: year I think is important.

244
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay.

245
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 4: How do you feel the how do you feel the

246
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: locker room will react to?

247
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 10: Of course, this benching is at least partly performance based,

248
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 10: but it's well known that there's money and a financial

249
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 10: penalty tied to an injury here with Daniel if he

250
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 10: keeps playing. How do you guard against the players in

251
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 10: the locker room feeling like there are motivations outside of

252
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 10: putting the best team on the field for the decisions you're.

253
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 4: Making in this spot.

254
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, just just like I said before, you know, that's

255
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: why why time he's out there, I think he'll be

256
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: ready to go.

257
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see him.

258
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 4: Thanks. Yep, not really, Carol.

259
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: Charlotte.

260
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 5: The follow up on Pat's question there, how much you

261
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 5: said you had a lot of conversations. How much did

262
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 5: that injury guarantee kind of factor into the decision to

263
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 5: bench Daniel at this point?

264
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, the conversation the coaches and I met, let's say

265
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: every day last week out most and into the weekend,

266
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: and we evaluate the performance of the players, and we

267
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: made a decision based off that to go with Tommy.

268
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 5: And then just a second question, how do you guys

269
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 5: look at injury wise coming into this week, anyone any

270
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 5: like long term or anything.

271
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: I think I think we'll be good. Yeah, I think

272
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: we're good. I don't have the injury stuff with me. Uh,

273
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: you got ahead of me on that one, Charlotte. But

274
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a walk through here today and everybody

275
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: will be a full participant in it.

276
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 4: One, Jordan or not? Put the follow up on that

277
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 4: real quick, Brian, uh cave on Thibodeau. Do you expect

278
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 4: him to come back after the buy?

279
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: Uh, it's a good question. I think there's a possibility

280
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: of that, Jordan.

281
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: I don't want to want to jump the gun here

282
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: on it, but he's not.

283
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 4: On the practice field yet, and that's what you're everyone's

284
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 4: gonna be there.

285
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, everybody that can participate will participate, and then

286
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, we'll make a decision here on Kaevon based

287
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: on where he's at.

288
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 11: And then with Daniel, how did he how did that

289
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 11: conversation go with him?

290
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: Like?

291
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 4: What was how did he handle the news? Obviously he

292
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 4: wants to be the.

293
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 11: Starter, so well, yeah, how would you describe his reaction?

294
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: Well, I would say, look, I got a lot of

295
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: respect for Daniel. I've said that before. Those conversations will

296
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: remain private. You know, certainly you're not going to be

297
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: happy about that as a competitor, and I respect that.

298
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 4: And then.

299
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 11: We asked you this a lot, But how does ownership

300
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 11: factor into this? And how did they factor into this

301
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 11: specific situation.

302
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 4: I know you talked to them all the time and

303
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 4: tell us of but how did they factor into the situation?

304
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 4: And then the perception from some outside.

305
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 11: Is, hey, this is a move you're making because you

306
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 11: know ownership wants it could help put fans in the

307
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 11: in the seats that can create some buzz.

308
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 4: What do you say to that?

309
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, understand your question, Jordan. Again, our conversations will be private.

310
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: We have plenty of them and looking forward to tomm you're

311
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: getting ready here to go against Tampa.

312
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 11: Did ownership give you input or was it you telling

313
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 11: you guys coming to them and say, hey, this is

314
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 11: the decision that we made.

315
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, respect the question. Our conversations will remain private here.

316
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: But you know we made this decision and it was

317
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: good time.
