WEBVTT - Press Pass: Doug Pederson

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Yea far away, Doug, can you confront it? Stephen talk

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>is gonna sign here? Um, yes, yes, he'll be in

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>later tonight here. Well yeah, yeah, you know, UM, obviously

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>he's familiar with UH with Coach Schwartz's defense. Um. At

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the same time, he's coming in to compete for that

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>linebacker spot there in the middle. And it's just unfortunate

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>with the loss of you know, with Joe right now,

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.480
<v Speaker 1>we just need depth to fill that spot. So, UM,

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.239
<v Speaker 1>we just got to see where he's at, what is

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>what is uh, what his health is when he gets here,

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, physical all that stuff that we do with

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>players and and uh and then and then slowly working

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:52.599
<v Speaker 1>in the spot competing the Jordan he's he's competing. I mean,

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>he's competing for the spot you know right now. Um,

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, Jordan's a starter. And and it just goes

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>without saying that, you know, in every position. UM. And

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and just with the with the loss of Joe right now,

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>we just needed we needed, you know, a linebacker and uh,

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and he was the best available for us. And then

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>look forward to working with him. If Stephen comes in

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and wins the middle line, could he I think he's

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>athletic enough and smart enough possibly, but right now, that's

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>not the plan. He's player that played for Jim that

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>you've brought in, which seems indicated a high amount of

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>trust and a jew's opinion from both you and how

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>can you kind of Well, I mean, you know, Jim's

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.199
<v Speaker 1>had great success with defenses in the National Football League

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and and his players always played a high level. And uh,

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, any time offensively, defensively, or even in in

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>special teams, if you can grab a player that you've

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 1>worked with in the past, UM that knows your terminology

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and knows your system. Um, I think it's no different

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>than Chase Daniel on offense for me, and and and

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>having guys like that that are very comfortable with your

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>with your with your with your defense or offense. I

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>think I think just just helps um helps the overall

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>learning and helps the overall process of of of the defense. Yeah.

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Two and a half weeks ago or whatever, it was like,

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>what why, why dude, he's signing? Then? Did you feel

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>like you can get a pilou what you have? Well? Yeah,

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, we wanted to give an opportunity

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>these young guys that we had and Joe was actually playing,

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>playing well and uh and doing some nice things for us,

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>So we just didn't feel the need to do it

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>at that time. So Nigel choice, are you concerned at

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.239
<v Speaker 1>all that comicity time? I am not, and I haven't

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>had any updates on that. Joe has been a core

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.839
<v Speaker 1>contributor on special teams backup linebackers usually have to do.

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>That is not a concern of Kine is brought in

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>his backgroup. Well, it's something that when when when I

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>get a chance to sit down with him and coach fifth,

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, this is a again, it's a

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>team sport and everybody has to um play a big

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>role in special teams and and and I know his past,

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>you know he hasn't played a lot of a lot

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 1>of areas. But if he can, if he can come

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>in at least give us one one special team's unit

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>right now to begin with um and then and then

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>we'll see where it goes from there. But you know

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>that is a that is a linebackers in general play

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>and tight ends definitely play you know, the bulk of

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>your special team. So it's something that we have to

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>we have to consider and and get him on at

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>least one core team. How much the role you can

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Carson do on Saturday? What's the plan for him this

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>week is in the persons a day. He threw a

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>little bit pre practice, he threw some during the practice,

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>but but not in the drills. You know, he was

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>on the side. Um again he soare you know, which

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>is expected. So we're just going to back him down

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>again today and and and it's just still still a

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>day to day injury. So he won't throw today. If

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>he won't throw today, Um, he threw, he threw saturday, Uh,

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>through through a little bit yesterday and and and sore today.

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>So we'll uh, we'll just keep getting treatment and monitor that. Obviously,

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>it's hitting closer that he had to make good for

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 1>us decisions. What area you think is the compass right

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>for you? Kind of whittled down to where you have

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to get to like yeah, you know, it's it's the

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 1>it's I'll tell you this, it's the unfortunate part of

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 1>this business because you want to be able to keep

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody number one. Um. You know, I think if you

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>just look at positions on the football team, I mean

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 1>offensive and defensive line, you know, there's a lot of

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>bodies there. And there's a lot of um, a lot

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>of uh, good competition at those two spots, you know,

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 1>corners another one that that's having having tremendous work there. Um.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>And and you know, bottom line is it's uh, it's

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 1>it's the nature of the business. Um. And I'll tell

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>you this. I mean just I've never been a part

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>of this process before obviously, but a lot of times, uh,

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 1>you end up cutting players that are good players for you,

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>that obviously have success other places. That's again that's just

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>the nature of this business. And and um, you know,

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, myself and Howie and

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the coordinators and you know, we got to make the

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>best decisions for for our team. I don't know's it

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>a good wide receiver position? Obviously you gotta find somebody.

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 1>But up tough, is it? It seems like there's a

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys that's seen there are And again that's

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>that's probably another position that uh, you know we look

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.559
<v Speaker 1>at here. Um, you know, particularly the next couple of weeks,

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>and it's tough because you know, you don't you don't

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>carry a ton of receivers and and um, I can't

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>tell you exactly what number that's gonna be whether it's

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>full five or six guys. Um, and it's it's it's uh,

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>you again you want to keep them all. But we

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 1>got to find the best the best players at every

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>position that you know are going to help us on

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>a game day. And that's that's just the bottom line.

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm putting together the three in terms of is it

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>all merit based as out before two or do you

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>take an account potential and financials and all that. Well,

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>you look at you look at everything, and especially with

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>young players, you know, their their roles usually our special

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>team's value for us. And then and then do they

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>have practice quad eligibility you know, I mean that's that's

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>a way to keep uh, to keep guys that that

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>that you want on your team is as solid backups

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>if if the need arises during the regular season, and

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>and um, you know, uh, I don't get into all

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the number stuff. I mean, I leave that up to

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Howie and and and you know his team to do that.

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>But again, at the end of the day, we're gonna

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:26.280
<v Speaker 1>find the best. Fifty three going into Cleveland comes to

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>you with a player, Uh, do you have the right

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>to over over for the fifty three to override with.

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's if it's an override as

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 1>much as you know, I mean, I'm gonna, I'm gonna

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>voice my opinion on on players obviously, Um I'm gonna,

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm first But first of all, I'm gonna gather all

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 1>the information on that player. I'm gonna study that player

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>from an X is an over standpoint. I'm gonna, I'm

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna find history, you know, a personal history. I want.

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I want to find out about the guy before I

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.600
<v Speaker 1>bring him into the into the fold. And and um,

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, if it's a if it's a strong recommendation

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 1>by Howie and his team, then then uh uh. And

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>if it's a definite it's a definite need uh, then

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.479
<v Speaker 1>then you know you pull the trigger. But uh yeah,

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I can. I can definitely voice voice an opinion. It's

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>just gonna be one guy or the other as a

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>starter or as the possibility of you know, having some

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of rotation more talk. Maybe he plays every third

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>or fourth series or something like that, just to keep

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>picks for USh. Yeah, right now, I really can't. It's

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>hard to answer that question until we get him in

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 1>here and see where he's at physically. Um, you know,

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>he did play you know, a full schedule last year

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>and should be relatively healthy. And then how how well

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>he fits into the into the system. So, um, we're

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>just gonna get him here one day at a time

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>with him and then get him caught up as fast

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>as we can as as far as I'll bring back

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>where you gonna mix ann with the ones and twos

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>this week? What have you learned about? Yeah, a couple

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>of things that I've learned. Number One, he's you know,

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>he's he's eager to learn, he's wanting to learn. Um,

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 1>great personality in the room. You know, the guys really

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>embraced him here and which is good to see. And

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>then and then we just keep you know, I just

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>gotta keep feeding him a little bit of information. You know,

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you gotta kind of whatever he was taught in Tennessee

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of you know, it's a little different here. You know,

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>what we're teaching and everybody's teaching styles are different and

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>what we're teaching is different. So we have to kind

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of find out what he knows. And then and then

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>take what we are running offensively from from routes and

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and and uh run game and everything, and then just

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>start piecing things together for him and put him in

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and putting him in a little small packages and just

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.079
<v Speaker 1>giving him small increments of information so so that we're

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 1>not overwhelming him, you know. Right here, after about three

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>or four days described working of course and yesterdays we're

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>going to test him because see where he's at now

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.599
<v Speaker 1>that he's he's not going to be practicing days I

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>say anything about so he's availability for the rest of

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the preseasons. What's the plan for him? Now? It still

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't it still doesn't affect that, you know, with these

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>injuries against a rib cage injury. So it's a rib

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's going to be sore because everything you

0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>do and you know, every time you turn the corner

0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's affect you. So we just got to continue

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.599
<v Speaker 1>to monitor, uh, continue to get the treatment, you know,

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>night and day and and uh you know again fully

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>expect him to go to potential. Um. Yeah, I mean

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>to say, you have two guys that one might be better.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Single that help you right now, but you'll really like

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>you've seen a guy think he might be developed kind

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:25.200
<v Speaker 1>of like wins. Well, you know, yeah, it's case by

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.719
<v Speaker 1>case and everybody's a little different. Um, you know, I

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I I gotta see who can help us right now.

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Bottom line, I mean we we play, we play in

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks and and you know, do you

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 1>want to plan for the future. Obviously you want to

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 1>do that, But at the same time, you gotta have

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>fifty three guys that you can plug in at any

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>any and given given uh you know, notice and moment

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.959
<v Speaker 1>and expect him to play. So um, A lot of

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>times it comes down to special teams value and how

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>well that that and how many you know, core units

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 1>after that player is is a part of josha is

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>three characters? Thys about forty STAPs first two preseason games

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.079
<v Speaker 1>we talked about special teams value? Is his value on

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>special teams? Is it enough for him to feel secure

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>about a roster spout right now or does he need

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.439
<v Speaker 1>to pick it up offense? Yeah? And you know this

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>week is is different again. You know, as I mentioned,

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 1>it's it's more of a more of an in season

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>structure and we got to start getting those players. Josh

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.559
<v Speaker 1>Huff being in that group, um more touches more reps

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.679
<v Speaker 1>offensively and on special teams. So I would expect his

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>workload to uh potentially increase. Uh this week, you like

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.679
<v Speaker 1>to see brand would improved on Saturday night. First, you

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>know what he did first against Pittsburgh. Yeah, you know

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 1>what I mean he did. He did a nice job

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 1>against Pittsburgh. And and uh uh you know, obviously the

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>penalties and things like that we have to eliminate, but

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the fact that uh, you know, put him in situations

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>where he had the ability to uh I'm not gonna

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 1>say audible because they weren't audible, but based on what

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the defense um gave him, he was able to adjust

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>to play and and and things like that. We're gonna

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.559
<v Speaker 1>give him more of those things this week, you know,

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.199
<v Speaker 1>more of a more of a game, game plan type

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 1>a game for him, and and just just moving moving

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.439
<v Speaker 1>the team. I want to see the completion percentage be

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, sixty five, sixty seven percent. You'd love to

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 1>see a touchdown pass or two in there. Um, But again,

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>you can't press the issue. You gotta let the game

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>unfold and and again put him in positions to be successful.

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Dorson us after your draft A post nine heels aggressive

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.079
<v Speaker 1>and he took shots down the fields, something that you'd

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>like to see Sam the world. Yeah, and a lot

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>of times too, comes down to the play caller, you know,

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.319
<v Speaker 1>calling those shots and and how the game is going.

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>And um, you know Sam's mentality, if it's there, he's

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.839
<v Speaker 1>gonna pull the trigger. But at the same time, you know,

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to force it down the field when

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes a back or a tight end underneath can be

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>can be the best alternative, you know, in situations like that.

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>But we'll continue to shoot the ball down the field

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>with Lane and again until I get notice from the

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>league office. You know, I'm not going to comment on

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 1>that any any further. Is that gonna be the way

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 1>you would have it this year? Exactly? No, I can't.

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm not gonna say one way or the other.

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 1>But you know, again, those first two games we played,

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>we're playing a lot of people. You know, we're playing

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. We didn't have a specific you

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>know role for one guy or the next over the

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>next you know. Again, this week, we'll begin utilizing some

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 1>of our players, you know, differently, um, and the tight

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.839
<v Speaker 1>ends will be used a little different this week. Thank you.
