1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: The crowd today. I'm doing Karen, I'm doing good. That's good.

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm great. There are moving parts still, but just.

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 2: Prost well, I mean again you're you're correct and saying

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 2: that there are some moving parts.

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: I feel great about where we're at, but we'll continue to.

6
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: Look for ways to improve and what we feel like

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: from a personnel standpoint, but also looking for ways to

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: improve on the field. Today will be an important day

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: for us, you know, just getting started here with with

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: the Raiders and and the show team process and and

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: all that and trying to get the looks that we

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: need to try to you know, begin to begin the

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: game planning and practicing some of that stuff.

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Spats would be comfortable saying that thing. Really what target

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: to try the good? No, I mean I don't think

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: that you really set out.

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: You just try to focus on, you know, adding good

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: play to your football team and whatever role that you

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: envision for them, and and kind of go from there.

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: And so.

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: I feel like we've improved through training camp and then

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: need to continue to improve through this process of preparing

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: to win and then also continuing to to target players,

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: whether that's you know today and you know the next

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: few days as players become available.

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: Understand that things are moving fast here. Tommy Debido awarded

27
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: on me with this sage.

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: Well again, I think that we'll confirm all those things

29
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: later on, and we put a claim in for a

30
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: couple of guys, and I would say that just strengthening

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: a roster, certainly at a premium position, and you know,

32
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: continuing to add pieces, whether that's offensively or defensively.

33
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: Are guys that we feel like can help us on

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: special teams. How much somebody Ryan's in site to be

35
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: valued with a player like that having left, what isn't insight?

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: I'm just sorry so to beat Oh yeah, yeah, I

37
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: didn't know what you said after the.

38
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: Well, I mean we've had coaches and personnel people throughout

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: the league at different spots, you know, whether that be

40
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: me or Stretch or coaches or Ryan or anybody, you know.

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: I think that's just one part of the evaluation, having

42
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: some working knowledge of what the player has done in

43
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: the building, how are they day to day And we

44
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: can all watch the performance and and see what it

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: looks like on the on the film, but the practice,

46
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: the habits, the how they are in the building and

47
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: how they prepare and and did they improve. I think

48
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: those are some some insights, whether it's this particular instance

49
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: or if it's just you know, somebody else that works

50
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: right at target. So I think that that can always help.

51
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: It wasn't the main factor in this decision. Josh, Yeah, yeah,

52
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: And again Josh has been settled down in the games,

53
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: and I think that there's been some mistakes, whether that

54
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: was joint practice or practice, and we're all going to

55
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: have mistakes and then being able to you know, settle

56
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 2: down in the games and perform and operate.

57
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: And again, I don't.

58
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: Each move that will make may not being indication of

59
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: what the players are at that position. I think it's

60
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: just looking into strengthen the overall roster construction.

61
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: Valuable and important as the practice squad become as it's evolving.

62
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: We were laughing the other day when it was fifty

63
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: three players and five guys on the practice squad and

64
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: we actually practiced and functioned, And now we have probably

65
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: will have seventy and we'll be wondering how we can

66
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: practice that many players. So what it's given you is

67
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: given you a good blend of having some veterans that

68
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: may be able to go in right away and be

69
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: elevated and also gives you an opportunity to develop some

70
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: younger players. What you'll see when that list comes out,

71
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: so you'll be able to kind of recognize both of

72
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: those who you may need some more time and want

73
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: to invest some more time into them, or a veteran

74
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: that's played in this league and would be ready to

75
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 2: go if we needed to elevate them.

76
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: Along those lines. Make I wanted to ask about Breed

77
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: and Swinson just given the draft status that diff thunder

78
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: with Hippi camp did you have and he's someone that will.

79
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: See on that practice forest again that'll be out at four,

80
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: and you know, there's always tough decisions that we have

81
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: to make, so we have to do what's in the

82
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: best interest to the football team, and that's why you practice,

83
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: and that there's a competition and there's games to evaluate

84
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: and see how they they respond.

85
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: So you know that that practice.

86
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 2: Squad list will be out at four and it will

87
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: continue to you know, I think change over the course

88
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: of not only the next few days, but but probably

89
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: the season.

90
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: You guys ended the point that Andy Kicker Parker, your

91
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: perspective on how that kicking competition played out over the

92
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: summer mayting. So I thought it was competitive.

93
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: I thought Parker really improved from the spring too to

94
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: the summer. And I think just the entire body of work,

95
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: we we felt like Andy was gonna be our kicker.

96
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: And again I appreciate Parker's competitiveness and how he worked,

97
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: and you know, I wish him well, and you know,

98
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: those are always difficult decisions. And again we we're gonna,

99
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna do everything we can to support Andy. And

100
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: then he knows he's got to make him. That's that's

101
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: a job of the kicker. You know that you got

102
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: to make them so. And I expect that he will.

103
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: Mentioned Josh Jobs settling down a little if he got

104
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: to the game cleans up great, it's very open. The

105
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: other day has been let's see that I get setting

106
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: up beginning games. Sometimes I get them in up and

107
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: I have a bunch of strategies that you would have

108
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: from early in the games to say the people can win. Up.

109
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: Do you help them with the strategies and send something

110
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: you come to whether it's.

111
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: A fine back well, I mean I think that you

112
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: have to again you have to prepare. Each player prepares

113
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: differently for that game. And and how you what your

114
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: emotion level is going into that game and how it starts.

115
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: And you know, I think that there's always something to

116
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: be said for you know, getting into a rhythm. You know,

117
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: I mean, we can't throw a bunch of two yard

118
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: routes to start the game. But I think that it's

119
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: just getting into a rhythm and a flow. And you

120
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: know the warm up, you know, how how guys warm up.

121
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: Some guys go and warm up, warm up a few

122
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: hours before the game, come back in, settle down. Some guys, uh,

123
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: you know, kind of just roll.

124
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: On out there.

125
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: But it's all about finding your own individual routine that

126
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: will allow each and every one of them to perform

127
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: at a high level when we start the game. We

128
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: can't wait till the second quarter to feel comfortable.

129
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: About how difficult it could be to re least guys

130
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: that news.

131
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: On the flip side of that, how about some of

132
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: the guys that you know, Chis and Marcus Bryant telling

133
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: them that they've made the team.

134
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: How rewarding is that for you?

135
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think that that makes it any better.

136
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: With the players that you have to release, and you know,

137
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: they they all it all comes to some players at

138
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: different times, and everybody's got a little different journey into

139
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: this league and how they make it. Some guys go

140
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: through the practice squad, and some guys go on multiple teams,

141
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: and some guys are undrafted and and make it just

142
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: I think the most important thing is that we earn

143
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: the right to be here every day and earn the

144
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: right and to provide value every day.

145
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: What's understating this is you one of your program. How

146
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: did you balance, if at all, picking the best at

147
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: three versus the best at the.

148
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: Three Maybe in the longer term, those are just things

149
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: that you try to figure out how you you know,

150
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: we got to go win games, and then we have

151
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: to build and and try to develop players and strengthen

152
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: the roster and.

153
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: Just try to have a vision for guys.

154
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 2: Not that that's always going to be perfect, but you

155
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: have to try to have some idea of what they're

156
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: going to be and what they're going to do for us.

157
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: So I think that, you know, I think that was

158
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: just the balance, you know.

159
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: That we try to age and figure out where where

160
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: we can have guys that who would be on the uh,

161
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: you know, we got to get down to forty eight

162
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 2: for the game, or it would be some guys that

163
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 2: are inactive and you know who can do multiple roles.

164
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: Who do you trust out there?

165
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,119
Speaker 1: But also.

166
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: You know they have to have a level of ability

167
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: to go and perform as well, So you know, special

168
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: teams plays a factor into it, and multiple positions some

169
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 2: position flex play plays a part of it as well.

170
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: Bust wise, have you determined or to ramp who say

171
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: try to have some I don't know who you're referring to.

172
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: I guess specifically, Uh yeah, that's news to me.

173
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: And I mean, you know what I mean.

174
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 2: I think that we just again try to put the

175
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: roster together. I guess when it when it doesn't work out,

176
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: you know, you know, you break up with somebody, your

177
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 2: girlfriend doesn't want to be with you, and then you say,

178
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: well I don't want to be with you either again,

179
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: like I'm not going to get him to all that.

180
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: So was that I just say, I'm not gonna get

181
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: into it. It was just like, you know what I mean,

182
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: We're not gonna go back and forth here, we're trying

183
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 2: to build a roster.

184
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: You got to move on from some guys.

185
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: Make connections with guys, you coach them, They aren opportunities,

186
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: they get more opportunities, they take advantage of them, and

187
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: that's kind of how these things go.

188
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: Mike, with Kyle Dugger, why is he still a good

189
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: fit for this roster? Because I think he's feeling better and.

190
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: I thought he had some really good snaps against New

191
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: York and I think he can help us and obviously

192
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: find a role and talk to him about that. Have

193
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: talked to him about that, will continue to to talk

194
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: to him about that, and you provide value to the

195
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: football team. Similar with Anthony Jenny, So he kind of

196
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: a spot like some of his performances.

197
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: Or camp in the season.

198
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think you know, I wasn't able

199
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: to play in the last game, but you know where

200
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: we were as of now. You know, I thought he

201
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: through his practice and through his performance in the games

202
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: and the way that he competed, has earned the right

203
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 2: to be here.

204
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: And you know he'll have to continue to do that,

205
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: just like everybody else will feel. With the flow of

206
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: information yesterday, any rodent issues.

207
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: I just try to let you guys know whatever is

208
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: going on when I can can figure it out. And again,

209
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: especially when it relates to players health, you know, I mean,

210
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: like that's their body that's there whatever they're dealing with.

211
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: So I think some of the injury stuff gets overblown,

212
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: but it is just an effect to try to you know, again,

213
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm trying to protect the player, you know, having been one,

214
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: or whether you're dealing with some sort of injury or

215
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 2: whatever it may be. You know, I'm always trying to

216
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: be respectful of their their health and different things like that.

217
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: NFL news yesterday. I think you say about Taylor and

218
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: Age that we were as well as we also down.

219
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I probably have a few thoughts, none that

220
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to share, uh right now. No, should should

221
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: be a interesting wedding, you know. Maybe maybe it's in Nashville,

222
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: maybe it's destination wedding. I'm not sure, but uh, should

223
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: be should be a fun one if we get invited.
