No, 78 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 2: I think it's the reps or what they are. 79 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: Uh. You obviously have the. 80 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: Game coming down the line here on Saturday, where you 81 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: keep that in mind when you're putting the rep plan together, Kevin. 82 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: With this being such a big deal for you know, 83 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 4: for Kenny to come back. 84 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 5: Here to Philadelphia and. 85 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 4: Everything, how hard was it for you guys to kind 86 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 4: of keep him out of those eleven on eleven I'm 87 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 4: sure he really. 88 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 10: Wanted to do that. 89 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: You know, it's no fun being hurt, and Kenny, unfortunately 90 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: is is is rehabbing and doing better and getting better, 91 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: and he's doing a great job. You saw him in 92 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: that seven on and I thought he had some really 93 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 2: nice moments in the seven on seven. So he's doing 94 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: a good job. Of course, he wants to do more. 95 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: I want him to do more. But we'll be very, 96 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: uh you know, appropriately conservative with that injury in terms of. 97 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 5: Body of work, evaluating your in particularly does does the 98 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 5: practice against the Eagles and. 99 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 10: Campis. 100 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think all these reps Tony are so important, 101 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 2: you know, I don't I don't want to say a 102 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: rep from a week ago in a team period wasn't important. 103 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 3: I think they're all important. 104 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: Obviously, they're different here in the practice setting because this 105 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 2: is a defensive scheme that our guys don't know. 106 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 3: These are players that our guys don't. 107 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 2: Know, so of course you think about those reps differently, 108 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: But we're really taking an approach here where everything matters, 109 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: every rep matter. Champion, Yeah, that's obviously a huge deal. 110 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: The you know, Nick does a great job with with 111 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 2: his football team. I think they are well coached. I 112 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 2: think they have really really good players. I made mentioned 113 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: the other day where I think this probably the best 114 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: offensive line defensive line in the game. 115 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 3: So it's a great challenge for our guys because it's 116 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 3: a team you guys don't see. How good official is 117 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 3: that well for. 118 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: Nine young guys for the game, but also the BET's 119 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: to see different. 120 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 3: Schemes at this stage of it. 121 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: That's what you do when you're when you're talking about 122 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: who to practice against. You know, it's important for me 123 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: to know who the other head coaches and have a 124 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 2: relationship with the head coach so you can put a 125 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: good plan together. But then the next most important thing 126 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 2: is that the schemes are different from what you see 127 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: every single day. So Carolina, for instance, was a very 128 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 2: different scheme defensively, uh, with. 129 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 3: An under front or five on the line of scrimmage. 130 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 2: Coach Fangio has a very similar base defense, so we'll 131 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: see that again, which we don't see a ton of 132 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 2: versus our defense. So I think the scheme pieces is 133 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: really essential to when you're putting these practices together. 134 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 9: Kevin with with Eagles offensive line and how vetteran they are, 135 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 9: and plus having June like, what's what's key for your 136 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 9: guys's defensive rookies, especially like Mason and Carson up front 137 00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 9: and what do you want to. 138 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 2: See from them these You know, it's really no different 139 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 2: than when we're in Berea. We just want to compete 140 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: like crazy, and uh, you know, going up against great 141 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: players makes you great. And uh, I think that's something 142 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: that we certainly see in Bria and we're looking forward 143 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 2: to seeing that here as well because it was probably and. 144 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: As a fall up to the pres questions, is the 145 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: third time people they have I've done this? 146 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 4: What makes you guys good? 147 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 7: Hearin? 148 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: That a good match? 149 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 8: Uh? 150 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a ton of respect for Nick. I've 151 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: known him for a little bit here. Uh, we have 152 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 2: guys that we've never coached together, but we have good 153 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: friends that have coached uh with each other. So Uh, 154 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 2: I just have a ton of respect for how he 155 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 2: handles his business, how he runs his football team. 156 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: Uh. 157 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 2: Obviously he's done a great job in this city. And Uh, yeah, 158 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 2: I just have a ton of respect for him. 159 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 3: Greg progressing. How he'll be limited, Uh won't be in 160 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 3: a ton of team reps in house. 161 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 4: Matter is something that you wouldn't want to share, probably, 162 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 4: but uh, can you say if you guys disappoint Miles 163 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 4: in any way? 164 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't, Mary Kay, I'll keep everything internal. What 165 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 3: have you seen him from Joe Clock? 166 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 6: I know you had him two years ago, but you 167 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 6: know coming back and. 168 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Joe's the same guy that he was then. 169 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: He's the same guy every single day. I think that's 170 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: one of the things you admire about Joe is how 171 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: he approaches his business. Uh, he's done a really nice 172 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: job in camp. He's also done a really nice job 173 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: just providing leadership to the quarterback room, to the offense, 174 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: and to the football team. 175 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 3: And then he said he's limited, But what if you 176 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 3: think Jo you just what do you like about him? Yeah, 177 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: Dylan's done a nice job. 178 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: Obviously limited by that hamstring, so getting more and more 179 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: reps with him, but he's done a nice job with 180 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: what's been given to him. Making good decisions. Yeah, played 181 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: a lot of football games. Good decision maker. Accurate. 182 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 7: When you think about the process of making your quarterback 183 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 7: choice and the number of the job, then then when here, 184 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 7: how challenging is it to this point and how challenged 185 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 7: what would be going forward to see all that people 186 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 7: want to see before you make anything. 187 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've kind of talked about it a lot. It's 188 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 2: it's an all encompassing evaluation. Obviously, I know you know 189 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: Week one is coming and we'll make a decision there. 190 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: But we're we're very, very. 191 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: Obsessed with player development and the development of our of 192 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: our quarterbacks. So that's really been something that we've worked 193 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: hard at. Whether it's reps in practice or the meeting 194 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 2: rooms or the walkthroughs. We want to make sure that 195 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: we're doing everything in our power to get these guys better. 196 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: Next quarterback Joe Flacco talks about taking valuable reps against 197 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champs. 198 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 9: So we're seeing more drought passes today than to see 199 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 9: in the normal Browns practice. 200 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 3: What do you attribute it to? 201 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 8: Okay, so I guess I can think of a couple 202 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 8: of the time. Listen, I think when you're out there competing, 203 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 8: you want to speed up a little bit. That's the 204 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 8: natural thing. And so like being in these environments and 205 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 8: learning how to like still go out and just play 206 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 8: within yourself is a learning It's a learning experience.

Last I think 237 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 8: last week, you know, we came out and did a 238 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 8: couple seven on sevens and a couple teams, and it 239 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 8: was pretty kind of. 240 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 3: Just like all right, boom boom boom. 241 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 8: And this week we kind of came out and had 242 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 8: like a pretty traditional training camp practice where we get 243 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 8: we're able to grind it through stuff a little bit. 244 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 8: And anytime you have those practices where you're running eighty plays, 245 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 8: you know you're gonna have some ugly and you're gonna 246 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 8: have some good. And it's that's why it's about the competition, 247 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 8: and it's about kind of finding out a little bit 248 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 8: about what we are Joe. 249 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 9: I know you've didn't really get to see your own 250 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 9: defense today, but watching them, it looks like the guys 251 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 9: up front got quite a bit of pressure and found 252 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 9: some success on the other field. So just how formidable 253 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 9: have they looked throughout camp? 254 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 8: And yeah, we've been going against them every day honestly. 255 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,599 Speaker 8: And listen, I think if you look at both of 256 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 8: these teams, they got some really good players up front. 257 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 3: That's where football starts. It starts up front. 258 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 8: So if you can get those guys going, you have 259 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 8: a really good shot to be a good football team. 260 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 3: And I think we got along. 261 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,479 Speaker 4: So what do you think has found out about yourselves 262 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 4: today as an offense? 263 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 11: See, you learned something. 264 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 8: I think we found out like, hey, we can push 265 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 8: through stuff. I think we also learned that. Man, we 266 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 8: need to learn that to a certain extent. We need 267 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 8: to learn how to push through a little bit better, 268 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 8: and you know, and stuff like that. But ultimately it 269 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 8: was good. I think we I think it was a 270 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 8: lot of good came from this practice. You need to 271 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 8: have these types of days where you come out here 272 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 8: and grind a little bit and and listen, like we 273 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 8: were going at a pretty fast pace here too, Like 274 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 8: on on our side of the field, you know, so 275 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 8: we're grinding, like I think everybody on that field could 276 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 8: feel that a little bit. And we want to be 277 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 8: a team that plays with that. So that's a positive 278 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 8: to be able to go out there and run that 279 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 8: many plays in that timeframe and be clean. 280 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 3: In the operation. I think that was really good. 281 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 8: I think you could feel that on both sides of 282 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 8: the ball where guys, you know, it felt like we 283 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 8: were running a lot of plays, but it was it 284 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 8: went both ways. I think it was, like I said, 285 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 8: I keep saying it, but it was a good test 286 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 8: for us, and I think we found out that, like, hey, 287 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 8: we you know, we got some guys that can kind 288 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 8: of push through this if when we need to a 289 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 8: long time. 290 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 12: Obviously, you're seeing so many different persons of training can 291 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 12: and enjoy practices all that. 292 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 9: What do you feel you've been given. 293 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 12: Your experience, like you specifically individually or in a team, 294 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 12: gets out of a joint practice versus like even a 295 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 12: preseason game, and just like your standard. 296 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 8: Treaming, Yeah, I think sometimes you know everybody these I 297 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 8: would say, I've never love like traveling and going and 298 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 8: doing a practice against somebody else, But It's kind of 299 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 8: what we talked about earlier on. You know, you have 300 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 8: to in order to play this game at a high level, 301 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 8: you have to be able to compete but also not 302 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 8: have your mind racing and get so repped up. Like 303 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 8: it's such an emotional game, right for pretty much every 304 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 8: position on the field, and you have to bring. 305 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 3: That to the field. 306 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 8: But how do you play with that emotion but also 307 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 8: be within yourselves and within the scheme and within all that, 308 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 8: and then just concentrate on the basics of catching the 309 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 8: football and running with the football, Like how do you balance. 310 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 3: Both of them? 311 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 8: And I think being in an environment against a different team, 312 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 8: it gives you like that experience and then you can 313 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 8: look back on it and say, man, why was I 314 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 8: Like why did I do this thing extra time when 315 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 8: I normally would have just taken four steps and caught 316 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 8: the ball? Why did I decide to do a little 317 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 8: bit extra at the top of my route? Next time, 318 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 8: I won't do that, Like you don't need it, you know, Like, 319 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 8: so anytime you have like actual competition, I think, I 320 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 8: think when you have guys that are willing to like 321 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 8: work through it and know that it's not always going 322 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 8: to be pretty you find out a little bit about 323 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 8: how to like actually go into that competition and still 324 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 8: relax and play. 325 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 9: Obviously this quarter that kind of you Neaede rank from 326 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 9: the start of the numbers with the two chapters you 327 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 9: would do, becoming that as it has played. 328 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 7: Out, as some of the injuries have shifted the dynamics, how. 329 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 9: Different as it felt to you, how. 330 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 3: It affected your preparation. It's interesting. 331 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 8: I mean, I think you can probably sit up at 332 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 8: night and think about different ways to approach these types 333 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 8: of things. But all I'm doing is going out there 334 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 8: and trying to take advantage of whatever I'm doing, whatever 335 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 8: I'm preparing as normal, training camp, as normal, whenever I 336 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 8: get the rep, go out there and do the best 337 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 8: you can play within yourself relax.

And you know, 422 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 8: you don't think that would happen at this level where 423 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 8: you get guys that maybe get a little bit timid 424 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 8: in certain situations. But hey, people are you know, human 425 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 8: nature in some things, and so I think you get 426 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 8: to find out a lot about the mental makeup of 427 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 8: your team in these environments. And you know, I once again, 428 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 8: I think that was a good job for us today. 429 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 9: Are what does your impression of the Eagle's defense. 430 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 3: They've had a lot of pieces changed since last year, 431 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 3: for sure. 432 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 8: You know, it's such a small sample size there. They 433 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 8: look like they have some dudes up front, and they 434 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 8: have some experience in the back end, whether that's experience 435 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 8: of like years in the league or just guys that 436 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 8: you know, have a good feel for the game. And 437 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,479 Speaker 8: they're they're very well coached, I know that. So they 438 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,719 Speaker 8: got a lot of things going for him. 439 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 12: Kevin said early on in the camp that he wants 440 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 12: to make a decision on who the starter is sooner 441 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 12: rather than later. You kind of get the sense that, 442 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 12: especially knowing next week, he kind of likes to treat 443 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 12: as like a trust rehearsal that this week is gonna 444 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 12: source at. 445 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 3: The stage for that decision he made. Kevin. 446 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 8: Kevin's Kevin Man. He's gonna He's the one in charge, 447 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 8: and I'm not really looking into when he's gonna do 448 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 8: things and why he's gonna do things. As I've said, 449 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 8: I'm just kind of going out there and being myself 450 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 8: and feel really confident about, you know, what I've been doing. 451 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 3: So that's all I can do. 452 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: Up next, rookie quarterback Dylan Gabriel talks about his return 453 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: from injury and now he's preparing for his first NFL action. 454 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 10: Was a little spot in your offense from most, did you? 455 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? 456 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 11: I think always there's things you'll you'll take away from 457 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 11: practice that you want to clean up and get better from. 458 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 11: But that's that's just everything any practice game walkthroughs.
