1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Just curious. I mean, in years passing in the league, 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: you come back from from Labor Day weekend, you hit 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: the practice field, and when it's down to fifty three, 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: you almost get that sense that all right now the 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: season is beginning. I'm curious with the extra guys the 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: practice squad, I mean, being out there for a little bit, 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: it didn't seem like you guys were cut down as 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 1: much as maybe, you know, the numbers would suggest in 9 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: the past. Did it all that way or does today 10 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: feel like the first step towards the regular season. I 11 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: would say, Uh, it definitely looks like it cut down, 12 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: But if you look at the wide receiver room, it 13 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: didn't look like much change at all. So uh, if 14 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: you look at it from from my eyes and going 15 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: into my meeting room, yeah, I mean I felt like 16 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: I did much change, But when I got to the 17 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: team room, yeah, you can kind of kind of tell 18 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: it cut down. I'm just curious. One other thing. I 19 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: know we asked you earlier in camp about the younger guys, 20 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: the younger receivers, a lot of the rookies, first year guys. 21 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: As someone that's been a part of this, do you 22 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: like the fact that your room is almost as intact 23 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: as it was in the camp. The way the guys performed, 24 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: I mean, does that make a statement about a position 25 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: how well these guys? Yeah, yeah, they had a lot 26 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: of touch decisions to make. Uh, there's no there's no 27 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: doubt about that. But I'm very excited to see some 28 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 1: of the guys in here because I know how hard 29 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: they worked, and um, I mean I saw the talent 30 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: whenever they walk into the door. So uh yeah, I'm 31 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: happy to have those guys. Thank you. We'll take two more. 32 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: Jordan's Rock Jordan's chap. A lot of people look at 33 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: the Steelers and they think that they're predicting that's gonna 34 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: be the best defense in the league. There's obviously the 35 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: circumstances this year a little bit crazy to have to 36 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: face that defense week one. How are you guys viewing that? 37 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: It's a it's a great test for us. I mean 38 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: they've been they've been good on that side of the 39 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: bar for a long time. Uh so that's nothing new. Uh, 40 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: you know, and we're we're excited. Um, we've been preparing, 41 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: uh started today and know we'll continue throughout the week 42 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: to prepare for him. And but we're looking forward to 43 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: how much is it a chance for you guys to 44 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: make a statement though, Also, like I said, man, we're 45 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 1: just we're taking it one day at a time. Uh, 46 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: that's that's what We're focused on, taking it one day 47 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: at a time, doing what we have to do before 48 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: the game so we can have the outcome that we 49 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: want to have. So it's gonna take that uh, narrow 50 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: minded focus on each day at time. Last question here, 51 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: Tom Roight, Ye, you gotta feel ready. You know, you 52 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: have a game in a week in a week from tonight, 53 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: Now do you do you feel like you're you're you're 54 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: ready for that? I mean it's still we have a 55 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: week to go, so we haven't really gotten into game prep. 56 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: But uh, as far as camp, camp went well, and um, 57 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: I felt like guys made some major strides on building 58 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: our identity of the team. Um, and we're still building that, 59 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: but I feel like we've made some major strides and um, 60 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: you know we're ready to put our foot forward and 61 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: our best fell forward and get the season under way.
