1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Looks like Scott could go from basically being on the

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: street a couple of weeks ago to starting this week.

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: How big a challenge is that for him? And how

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: much is it up that he was here before? Obviously

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: it helps a lot, you know with him having a

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: familiarity in terms of what we're doing here. Uh, came

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: back in really good shape, physical shape. Um. Manly he's

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: done a nice job getting caught up to speed in

9
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: terms of what we're doing now. Um, So it really

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: helps having a guy that has been here kind of

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: knowing what we do and how we do things. So, um,

12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: it was good to have him come back. How did

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: how did he come back to the book like a

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: guy like? He in shape yet? Now he did a

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: nice job, Like you said, he did a nice job

16
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: while he was out in terms of, you know, taking

17
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: cure of his body. Um, obviously rehabbing from the injury.

18
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: He did a nice job. Hadn't seen any setbacks from that,

19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: which is a plus. Um, he looked a little bit lighter,

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: which is good. Um. And you know he did a

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: nice job you know with with his body. What does

22
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: he bring in terms of skill set? Again, he's he's

23
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: a guy that's gretty tough physical. Um. He understands how

24
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: we want to do things. He does a nice job

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: executing the techniques that we want done in the run game. Um.

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: Obviously he's capable of doing some of the things that

27
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: we asked him to do in the past game. So

28
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: he helps us in that aspect. He was saying yesterday,

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: Scott in terms of looking back on playing this Bears defense,

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: and obviously the coordinators are different, but as far as

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: what your responsibilities are, you've talked a lot about how

32
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: much the blocking aspect is to to the schematic importance

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: of your position. He fits right in there, I would imagine, right, yeah,

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: he does. Um again, you know against this team against Chicago,

35
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, they're a really good front. Um, they do

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: a nice job playing and run. They do a nice

37
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: job rushing the past. Obviously, So having uh Scott here

38
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: to help us with in terms of running the ball

39
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: when he's in there, UM, it's gonna help us, you know,

40
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: because you gotta want you want to be able to

41
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: run the ball and set ahead of the chains against

42
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: his team. UM. And so that's uh, that's where he

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: does help us with that. You know, you have no

44
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: choice if they're there, you're only two options but to

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: trust them. But where are you at with Dicker said

46
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: and Smith if they have to through the backup tight ends. Yeah,

47
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: those guys have done a nice job terms of what

48
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: we asked him to do, both of them bringing obviously

49
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: some qualities to the game. Um, in terms of what

50
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: they do best. Um, you those guys are ready to go,

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: um if need be. And uh, again, we got a

52
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: room that all of them are doing a nice job

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: of being ready to go when they're called upon. How

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: the challenges it for for a guy like Kayton Smith

55
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: who wasn't here with you guys throughout the entire spring

56
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: through training camp and then comes here and he's trying

57
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: to work his way in. I mean, can you speak

58
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: to the challenges of what it's like for a rookie

59
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: to to try to learn on the fly and really

60
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: have an impact for you guys. Yeah, it is challenging. Um,

61
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: but you know he's a Stanford guy. You know, he's

62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: a Stanford guys from Texas, so he you know, he's

63
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: a guy that's smart. Uh. He's done a nice job

64
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: picking up with things that we've asked him do. He's

65
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: been in for a while now, So it's been it's

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: been good to have him come in and he didn't

67
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: have to come in on a week that he had

68
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: to go in and play. You know. So he's been

69
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: in the in the building for a while now and

70
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: so now getting closer to playing again. You know, he's

71
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: done a nice job being ready to go if he's

72
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: called upon. And there's so much of what you do

73
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: to we just game playing the next opponent and when

74
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: I put you sit down with having at all just

75
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: to check it in. U's like, because he's so good

76
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: when he plays, but it just seems like the last

77
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: couple of years he's had these injury setbacks a while.

78
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: Just to make sure that he's not getting frustrated with

79
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: staying healthy. Yeah, the biggest thing is, you know, when

80
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: when you guys get injured, is keeping him involved. Um.

81
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: And we do a nice job here as a team

82
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: keeping our injury guys involved in terms of keeping them

83
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: in meetings. Um, you know, in our room, we keep

84
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: him involved in terms of you know, questions. You know,

85
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: it's not just you know, the guys who are playing.

86
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: You know, if everybody gets asked the question, where not

87
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: you on the practice squad? Where or not. You're on

88
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: our if you're in the meeting room, you're gonna ask questions.

89
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: So that that's good in terms of keeping them involved

90
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: in terms of what we've got going forward, and uh

91
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: getting looking forward to getting them on the field. Um,

92
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: whenever he gets ready to go, h
