1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, all right, No one used today, all right,

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: look excited to get back on the on the practice field.

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Talked about Monday really being about an EP and handling

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: things that have shown up over the past three weeks.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: I thought those guys went out there and did a

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: good job correcting those mistakes, you know, with the realization

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: that there will be other things that pop up throughout

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: the season. Now, excited really to turn the page onto

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: San fran But before we get there, so you know,

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: we lost one of our captains, and uh and Bentley.

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: You know, he's done a great job for us, both

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: on and off the field, a leader in the locker room,

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So we'll be putting Bentley on injured

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: reserve later on today. Now I'm saying that, you know,

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: I thought it was important and just go back and

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: kind of talk about my experience as you guys know

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: that there are a few seasons there where I was

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: hurt at the end, well more than one, all right,

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: And so I was a captain seven out of eight years,

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: but I remember getting hurt early in the season and

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: then coach approached me and said, hey, do you mind

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, bringing in another if we had another captain

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: and I didn't, And so I had a conversation with

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: Bentley and the same thing with him, you know, obviously

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: not being in the building every single day right now

26
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: as he goes through the rehab process.

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: But I did ask him.

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I said, you know, to me, it's important that we

29
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: still have you know, leadership and representation for that side

30
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: of the ball. And when we when we did the

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: votes for captain, and once again this is voted on

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: by their peers.

33
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: Uh, it was very close. It was very close.

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: And happy to announce today a guy that you know

35
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: has done a tremendous job for US, has really shown

36
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 1: a lot of growth on the field and off the field,

37
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: and that's Kyle Duggar. And so dugger is now a

38
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: captain for US. I wasn't finished my intro non play goohead.

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. We'll see how it goes. I don't

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: want to speculate on when he's gonna when he could

41
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: return our I don't want to get into that thank you.

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: Team. It's meant a lot.

43
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: You know, his first year he came in, you knew

44
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: he was a physical player, a small school guy, and

45
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: so first of all, that's always a uh you know,

46
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: surprise and he can go either way. But what I

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: will say is, look, he brings that mentality, that physicality

48
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: that you that you want on your defense. And I

49
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: would say, what was it last year? Last year he

50
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: had the green dot quite a bit, and I think

51
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: two years ago he had the green green dot quite

52
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: a bit as well. But he's able to handle the

53
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: communication of the adjustments and he's able to get guys

54
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: lined up. And when I talk about growth with Kyle,

55
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: like his first couple of years and understanding as a rookie,

56
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: you don't really say too much. But the first couple

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: of years, it was more like he just would go

58
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: out there and perform at a high level, but really

59
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: didn't have much to do with the communication and stuff

60
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: like that and the development of his teammates. And I

61
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: would say here, over the last few years, he's done

62
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: a tremendous job mentoring, mentoring those young guys and even

63
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: the older guys. You know, I had a conversation with

64
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: Peppers today and he talked about how important it was

65
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: for him to learn from Dougar and Devin, and you

66
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: know that just talks about his leadership style, and you know,

67
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: it's a little different it's mostly through, you know, just

68
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: the way he approaches the game. But I would say

69
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: here as of late the last you know, this year

70
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: and last year, he's been more vocal, which I definitely appreciate.

71
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: And everyone doesn't know what's feel comfortable doing that, but uh,

72
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: he's been doing that.

73
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: Still going to be around a lot after his surgery and.

74
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 2: Things like that. Yeah.

75
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I told Ben, you know, once again, you know,

76
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: going through that experience, it really helped me. And it stinks,

77
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: it really does stink to have to go on IR,

78
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: but you can still be a productive teammate. And so

79
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: even when I got hurt, I think you guys know

80
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: the story of you know, I started learning how to

81
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: break down film and do all those things. And I

82
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: look back on it almost as a blessing. But you know,

83
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: when you're on IR, you're in the storm. It's kind

84
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: of hard to see what God has planned for you.

85
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: And those three years that I ended up on IR

86
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: definitely helped me in my transition to coaching, and I

87
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: think it's important and for a guy like Bentley to

88
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: be around the team, his energy is passion all of

89
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: those things. But also you know, he'll be on the

90
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: sidelines because I think you know, from a player's perspective,

91
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: you know they see they see a lot of things too,

92
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: and have another set of eyes and another motivator, another

93
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: guy that can help get the track, you know, get

94
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: us on the right track. I think it's important. So

95
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: as soon as he's able to travel and as soon

96
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 1: as he's able to be on the sideline, I fully

97
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: anticipate that happening up. Sounding like a big leap, but

98
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: a thirty thoughts to doug Er taking some.

99
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: Of Bentley's responsibilities in the inside and playing inside and

100
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: where he won't be able to.

101
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: Play playing linebacker. Yeh, Look, we're very flexible. He's done

102
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: it before, Peppers has done it before. A guy not

103
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: out there right now is Marte, which you know would

104
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: be exciting to get him back out there. He's another

105
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: candidate for that role you're kind of talking about, uh

106
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: and saying that, you know, Look, Jilani and Ray Kwan

107
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: and those guys, they do a good job controlling the front,

108
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: and I think having a guy like Dougger in the

109
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: back end who has that communication with the linebackers, understands

110
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: linebacker play, but also can disseminate the information. You know,

111
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, to the side, to the corners, to the stars.

112
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: I think it's more important for him to be be there.

113
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: He does rock down.

114
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: You know, anytime a safety rocks here's my nugget, anytime

115
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: a safety rocks down into the box, he's really a

116
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: linebacker at.

117
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: That point our Sunday's game. But there you go. That's

118
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: the idea of padding the betteran quarterback to the roster.

119
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: That's so you have both control over when.

120
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: Drake's plays as opposed to having your hands potentially for.

121
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: Things that's not in our plans at this current time

122
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: for a Sunday's game.

123
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: What kind of challenge does this forty nine ers offense present,

124
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: especially with some issues maybe.

125
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: With the personnel right now.

126
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's a very unique offense, and I

127
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: know everyone says it falls off the same tree. But

128
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: all of these coaches and you could throw you know,

129
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel in the category, they all put their own

130
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: twist on it. I would say with san Franz, you

131
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: look at it all three phases. Look, obviously, their record's

132
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: not really reflective of the team that they are and

133
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: can be going forward. You know they're dealing with injuries

134
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: as well. What I will say is the challenge, uh

135
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: for us is just in the front offensive line and

136
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: defensive line. And I know, I mean, I don't, I

137
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: don't want to sound repetitive, but you know, those guys

138
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: there are do what they do type of team, and

139
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: like we know what they're gonna do, the fans know

140
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do, but.

141
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: You still have to stop them.

142
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: And they have a lot of good players on that

143
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: team offensively and defensively, like all pro caliber players almost

144
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: at every level if you really look at the roster.

145
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: So it's definitely a challenge. And uh, I think the

146
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: guys are you know, I tell them all the time,

147
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: look at as an opportunity to go out there and

148
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: perform This is.

149
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: A defining moment offense. Would you guys want to get that? Offensively?

150
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: He said? Different reminders value to shoot the offense, which

151
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: you guys want to get done. How do you spread

152
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: the battles which we keeping him out.

153
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: There wanting to stay out there, and.

154
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: Maybe having that conversation with him about the we we look.

155
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: We always say that you know, ball security is job security,

156
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: and we're all disappointed in really, you know, three fumbles,

157
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: and he understands that and definitely a point of Infhanis

158
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: is today we'll go out there and practice in full pads.

159
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: Those guys need to be hit, need to get hit.

160
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: I would also say that I have I have confidence

161
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: in that room as a whole, not just Remandre. And

162
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think Gibbey's done a good job. Hasty

163
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: is ready to go. He prepares like a starter every week.

164
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: But you know, we got we have to take care

165
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: of the ball figures.

166
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: But is there something that you can do. Is it

167
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: just as easy as you'll get another getting test just

168
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: hit or is there a thing?

169
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: Is it's not really technique thing? Well, I take that back,

170
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: it is at times. You know, Remondre is probably top

171
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: five in the league as far as like breaking tackles.

172
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: Now that's a dual edge sword.

173
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: You always want these guys to break tackles and try

174
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: to make these big explosive players. But in doing that

175
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: sometimes the ball gets loose. And we always talk about

176
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: double in trouble, like if people are around, you put

177
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: two hands on the football, and it sounds simple to say,

178
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: but it is hard to do it sometimes, especially when

179
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: you're trying to get extra yards.

180
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: Stress hasn't been.

181
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: The easiest start to the season for a couple of secs.

182
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: Hobos he done, you know.

183
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: Excite the building and how you seen him sort of

184
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: handle himself to himself like a true professional.

185
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: We had a captain's meeting today and it wasn't like

186
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: a big Kumbaya type of meeting.

187
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: It was more of a.

188
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: You know, let's continue to get better each and every week.

189
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: And I think that was really the main goal, you know,

190
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: going into the season, like I didn't know what the record,

191
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: what our record would be at this time, but our

192
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: goal was to get better every week. Now, obviously it

193
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: was a poor showing in New York, but we'll see

194
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: what this team is made of going forward. You know,

195
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: we have a long trip out west and got to

196
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: be ready to play against a good, solid football team.

197
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: Describe them as do what they do type of team.

198
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: When you look specifically a through offense with with Kyle,

199
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: what are the kind of chess mats challenges for you

200
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: the Marcus whole defensive stamps to stay on top of

201
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 3: them because they you know, they dress.

202
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: Up a lot of them, that's right, and you just

203
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: hit it on the head. It's a lot of window dressing,

204
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: but the core concepts are pretty much still the same

205
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: every single play. Like you're going to see motion and

206
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: you're going to see exotic types of motions and they're

207
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: trying to get you know, you to adjust a certain way.

208
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: And just here you go, here's another football tip just

209
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: in general, you know, for the power Warner coaches. You know,

210
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: as they start to build formations, either you move the

211
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: defensive line in front of you or the linebackers have

212
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: to move. And some of that stuff is pre snap,

213
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: but don't forget about the post snap movement as well,

214
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: and so you have to be able to see the

215
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: surfaces that they're trying to create.

216
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: Linebacker at a very high level.

217
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: What kind of unique challenges in having guy like Fred Warner,

218
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: who can you know, do pretty much everything at the position.

219
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: It it feels like you don't see elite linebackers very often.

220
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, this guy is. He's one of the best

221
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: in the league. And when you see him flying around

222
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: out there, and you know he's a good a very

223
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: good tackler. Those guys up front do a good job

224
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: protecting them allowing them to do those things. But I

225
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: have nothing but the ultimate respect for a guy like

226
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: Fred Warner. And I actually when I first got into

227
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: the league and started getting scouting a little bit. I

228
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: went back and watched some of his film in college

229
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: just to see, like, you know, what did everyone miss

230
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: with this guy? Because he is such a good player,

231
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: but he can play in space as good as you know,

232
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 1: a big nickel, He's he's a very good player, physical,

233
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: all those things.

234
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: I know.

235
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: He can't speculate another Christian Park role play in the season,

236
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: But you're see him around a bit.

237
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: Are you able to say whether he's doing any discal

238
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: activity or.

239
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: Working out at all?

240
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: Well, look, I mean he's he's going by doctor's orders.

241
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: I would also say I think it's important for a

242
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: guy like that to be in the building. One thing

243
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: about the idle mind, you're just sitting at home all

244
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: the time, like that's nothing but trouble. And you know,

245
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: for a young player like that, this is an opportunity

246
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing I spoke about earlier. This

247
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for him to learn about football as

248
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: a whole and not just what a defensive tackle does.

249
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: So in saying that he has projects that he's working

250
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: on a bunch of those things, and he's also in

251
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: charge of Friday Funny and it's like a thirty second,

252
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: one minute quip that just to get the guys laughing

253
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: on Fridays.

254
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: But he's doing a good job. Following close question earlier,

255
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: is your willingness to stay with the quarterback or where

256
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: you have it right now? How much of that is

257
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: due to what you've seen from training practice? How has

258
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: he looked in practice?

259
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: He's looked good in practice, but once again, it's just practice,

260
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: and you want to get a guy like that obviously

261
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: on the football field. But at this current time, I

262
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: don't want to go back to that answer. But at

263
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: this current time, we're just not looking to add any

264
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: pieces at that spot.

265
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, still saying.

266
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: He's look comfortable enough in those obviously different from a game,

267
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 3: but he's look comfortable enough in that setting that you

268
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 3: don't feel the need to go and bring somebody else in.

269
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, and let me just go

270
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: back on the just to provide clarification, it's seventy thirty

271
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: with the ones. Drake's getting a ton of reps on

272
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: the show team, and he's approached that process the right way,

273
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: like he doesn't want to know what the defense is doing,

274
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,479
Speaker 1: doesn't want to know the courbage he's going out there

275
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: going through his reads and we talk about that all

276
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: the time. Just because you're on the show team doesn't

277
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: mean you can't work on your fundamentals and just your progressions.

278
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 2: And he's done a good job of that.

279
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: So he's serving as like rock Party during the week

280
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: and Gino Smith and things like that.

281
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: It's a combination between him and Joe those guys, depending on.

282
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: The quarterback that we play.

283
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: Spot how would be something for me?

284
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: Secondly, in talk with Johns to travel with the team

285
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 2: and kind of how is he look?

286
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, those guys, you know, it's hard, you know, coming

287
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: to a team in the middle of the season.

288
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: They've only been.

289
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Here for a very short time. So it's hard for

290
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: me to sit here and give you a full evaluation.

291
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: If I'm being very upfront, what I will say is that,

292
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, myself and Elliott as well, we're always looking

293
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: for opportunities to get this roster better and we knew

294
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: that going into the season. That's that has to be

295
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: the goal, is to get the roster better. Let's understand

296
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: the processes that have been here, what can we improve

297
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: on and when you talk about year one, at least

298
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: for me, that's that's a huge part of it.

299
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: We haven't seen much of talk Talkie obviously. Is he

300
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: a player you.

301
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: Think to fill in some of the rules.

302
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: That you know.

303
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: I've watched Hoki Taki for for a while in Cleveland,

304
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: and he's one of those guys that can line up

305
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: on the edge, you know, that adjust role that we

306
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: talk about, and also play off the ball. So we'll

307
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: be excited when he gets back.

308
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: You last question, if you looked at the development you

309
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: talked about the development of Drake a lot in the

310
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: last you know, since the draft, when you look at

311
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: the other players around the NFL, Daniels, Williams and Bonex,

312
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: have you have you had conversations at all? You feeling

313
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 3: you have conversations with Drake about those other rookies and

314
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: you kind of be patient.

315
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have conversations about that, But I think you

316
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: can go the other way with those examples. It's easy

317
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: to cherry pick, you know, a guy who just completed

318
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: ninety percent of passes and say, you know, how do

319
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: you feel about that? There's also the other end of

320
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: the spectrum where guys, I mean, they're not doing anything,

321
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: whether it's on I R or they're having struggles, so

322
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: it's it's on an individual basis, I will say that

323
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: he's done a good job staying locked in and preparing

324
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: as if he is a starter, which I tell all

325
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: the players to do that.

326
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks guys,
