1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: We haven't seen at all this week. Yeah, it's safe. 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: It's safe to say he won't. He won't make it 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: this week to be on this week though, is there concern? 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: We'll just worry about a week to week. Um, he's 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: making great progress, so we'll just have to see how 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: big the losses that not happen. But at least for 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 1: this week, well, we're gonna play with the guys that 8 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: are healthy and well, we'll see. But obviously you like 9 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: to have Ovie on the field. Yeah, he's uh, he does. 10 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: He's a he's an edge player. You know, he was 11 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: outstanding pass rusher in college. I think he's improved in 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: that area through the training camp and he's gonna get 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: his opportunity Sunday. Was he able to go full again? 14 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: He's fine. He just had an illness. I don't know. 15 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: He must have had the fish yesterday or something. I 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: don't know. How do you feel that void? Are you 17 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: looking for just one guy to do it? Or you're 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: gonna look for use the whole rod. We'll use the 19 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: whole roster to to fill that void. And you know, 20 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: typically when you put um a roster together, there are 21 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: guys that I have to overlap in certain positions. You know, 22 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: you're full back, overlaps at tight end, your full back 23 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: and overlap and running back, and so we do the 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: same thing with the d line and the edge players. 25 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: When you guys signed born, when Dave said, hey, you 26 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: were looking for quality snaps, out end can still give 27 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: you quantity snaps too. Whatever our starting workload is into 28 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: the Q words. Huh yeah, we feel like quality. You know, 29 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: we'll just see how much you know, how much you'll 30 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: give us. But he's healthy and ready to go. How 31 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: you're a football lifer, I mean, does opening day mean 32 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: anything different to you than to day that when you 33 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: were a player or even assistant coaching. No, you know, 34 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: I've been fortunate to be able to do this a 35 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: very long time. UM. I told the players. You know, game, 36 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: game day and game weekend never gets old. I love 37 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: the rhythm of a Friday, Um. I love the rhythm 38 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: of Friday evening, you know, the my game on Saturday, 39 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,639 Speaker 1: the lead up to the night meetings. I've always enjoyed 40 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: the night meetings. And then certainly game day has never 41 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: gotten old for me. You know, the anticipation when you 42 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: wake up Sunday to play in the game and you know, 43 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: I'll bet you and players. When I mentioned this to 44 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: the players, they all start to nod, especially the ones 45 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: that don't play anymore. Um, that's what players miss, I think, 46 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, when they're not playing anymore. I'm sure that's 47 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: what they miss. So it's important to stay in the moment, 48 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: enjoy Sunday. What about the flip side to that? You 49 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: have probably four rookies Reichi and Lorenzo included, I'm gonna 50 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: play significant roles, if not start on Sunday. Do you 51 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: say anything to them about the moment and how big 52 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: it is and not to make too much of it. Yeah, 53 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: I think the big thing for you know, just try 54 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: to keep them calm, you know, their emotions because it 55 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: will be the first time and you know, in the 56 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: in the shiny pants the game uniforms on a Sunday 57 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: and for real, you know, I'm sure their emotions will run. 58 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: But most of these guys have played in front of 59 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: large crowds before in big games, so they'll just you know, 60 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: they'll just lean on those experiences and then we'll help 61 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: them do it. Yeah, it's your first game. I was 62 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: wondering where you Like we saw last year the Eagles 63 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: be super aggressive on fourth down and go for a 64 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: left and right. I just wondering where you stood philosophically. 65 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: And we're gonna try to make decisions each game to 66 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: win the game, and if it, you know, requires going 67 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: forward on first fourth down, we'll do it. If we 68 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: feel like there's a better choice. Every once in a while, 69 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: you decide to pun it, you know, hunt the ball 70 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: down the field and stop them, get the ball back specifically, 71 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, in your ear talking about those decisions. We 72 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: do that. We teach our staff we have a shared 73 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: situational awareness and so there's we're all connected on the headset, 74 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: so we'll all talk about it.
