1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: He's like getting a bit a little bit today, he's

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: getting better, couldn't better? Could ever have a setback? No,

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: he was. You know, he's coming back from coming back

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: from that foot injury, and he pushed as far as

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: he could, but um, it's still sore, so I can't go.

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: Have you seen any kind of a different look at

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Eliza I this week, you know, just being back with

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: the ones and whatnot. That he never spend any at role,

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: Not really. You know, he is a model of consistency.

10
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: He has been for a very long time and no

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: matter what his role has been, he's been the same

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: every day, the same energy level. And uh, he's he's

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: had a great week of practice. Look forward to seeing

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: him perform on Monday night, you know. I mean he

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: likes sitting out for the last how many weeks is

16
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: gonna affect him as a like rusty at all? No? No,

17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: we covered that earlier in a week. I don't think so.

18
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: Is Daniel still in the boot? He wasn't today. You

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: said you just watched him, right, was he No, he's

20
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: not in a boot, not at all, even when he's

21
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: outside of practice. Well he maybe, but he wasn't today.

22
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: It really doesn't matter. Doesn't you think he might feel

23
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: like he has something to prove. I don't know. Um,

24
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's probably a better question for him. All

25
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: I know is he's been a pro all the way

26
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: through this. He's tried to help Daniel when he was

27
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: the starter, and now he's doing it. You know, he's

28
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: trying to do his very best to to be a

29
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: starter for us and win a game and diff review

30
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: operate a practice with him like you work on different routes,

31
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: because obviously he said, like Daniel, he pushes the ball

32
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: down and feel a little more, you know, has different

33
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: strengths of weaknesses. No, I think practice settings are are

34
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: exactly the same, and you're trying to get the same

35
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: thing out of each practice, regardless of who the quarterback is.

36
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: You're trying to do the things that you do well

37
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: and do the things that will affect and attack the

38
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: defense you're facing. So it's it's exactly the same talk

39
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: a lot of tough Daniel is and how much wants

40
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: to play, how tough has this weekend from us even

41
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: trying to want me to play or anything like that, Well,

42
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: he feels a little bit caged up, quite frankly. You know,

43
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: he's frustrated that that he can't UM, but you know,

44
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: it's it's the way. That's the way it goes, you

45
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: know at times, and we all know, you know, players

46
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: get injured at times and they got to fight their

47
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: way back. The one thing that I like about his

48
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: demeanor is he's frustrated and wants to play and doing

49
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: everything in his power. You know, we we get here

50
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: very similar time in the five o'clock hour and he's

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: getting treatment and he's he's doing everything he can to

52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: uh to get ready to play. And and that's a

53
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: good thing. When you see a guy wanted so badly,

54
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: it realistic. I guess the expected to play next week.

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: We'll have to see. It's like, you know, he's he

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: would he did in practice this week, and we'll just

57
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: have to see when we come back to practice, um,

58
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, next Wednesday, how much he can do and

59
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: then we'll take it from there. Are you encouraged by

60
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: his healing this week in progress? Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah, he's healed.

61
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: He's healed. I mean, I'm no judge as to how

62
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: far he should be, but he's making progress. Do you

63
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: think Julian Love handled the start last week and moving forward.

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: He did it. He did a terrific job. You know,

65
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: he's got he's got a real good feel. You know,

66
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: there's there's when you some people have a feel for

67
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: things and some people don't. He's one of those guys

68
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: that has a feel for it, and I think it

69
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: helped him in his first start. You've been around us

70
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: for a long time and many levels. When you when

71
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: a team gets to a point this late in the

72
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: season and the playoffs are a carrot, what do you

73
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: look for in terms of you know, I know James

74
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Bencher addressed it yesterday, little bit of how guys are

75
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: pretty fired up a practice, Just what what you guys

76
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: have to play for and and whatnot? How do you

77
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: how do you well? Playing and coaching is what we do.

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: You know, it just happens to be our profession, but

79
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: it's it's it's our passion. And you know, in our situation,

80
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: we have so many young players that they really don't

81
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: know what the situation is. They're just out there playing

82
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: and I think that's I think that's a good thing,

83
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: and that's why I think we'll continue to improve and

84
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: we've gotta get some wins down the road here. What

85
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: do you expect Monday to be like emotionally for Eli,

86
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a different thing for him.

87
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: And maybe he didn't think he'd play again this year.

88
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: Better question for Eli, you know. I think listen, he's

89
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: been able to stay in the moment for many, many years,

90
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, in all situations, and I'm sure he'll be

91
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: able to do the same thing on Monday night. I

92
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: season has just been for editing Ram. It seems like

93
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: he just can't get on the field consistently. I mean,

94
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: year again a question for him, you know, but you

95
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: know he's he's struggling to get on the field, and

96
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, I can't tell you why. I mean, I

97
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: can tell you what the injuries are, but I can't

98
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: I can't tell you exactly how he feels. Um, you know,

99
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: all the guys want to play thing else. Uh have

100
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: you have four games remaining? How much do you look

101
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: at it as you're also being evaluated here for the future.

102
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: I think I'm being evaluated every day, So you know,

103
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: I don't I don't segmented into the last four games.

104
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just that's that's so what right, And

105
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: we've had things happen and you know, we don't have

106
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: the win total we want, but we're doing everything in

107
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: our power to go win this game and that and

108
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: that's the reality of it. And you know, we fight

109
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: for each other and we keep going and that's that's

110
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: the way it is. And we have a quarter of

111
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: the season left and we got to go out and

112
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: perform
