1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Morning. De Marcus Lawrence had foot surgery this morning. He'll

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: miss significant time. Leon Lett also had surgery and he

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: will not travel um to LA and Donovan Wilson will

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: not practice today, So it's a medical update. He talked

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: a little bit. Don't worry about the impact on this

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: defense with Marcus Lawrence, allad and how you will build

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: a mountain work in that position. Ah well, I mean

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: it's obviously, you know, losing to Marcus. I mean he's

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,319
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's a prime time player for US.

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: I thought he had a nice starting in Tampa. And

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, you hate to see these injuries to at

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: the end of your guys. But you know what it does,

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: It just gives you know, opportunities to the other players.

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: So you know, how we we spread that out, that'll

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, that'll be done through game plan and we'll

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: work on that today, tomorrow and Saturday, so and you

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: know specifically, you know, we'll get into that once we

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: play the game we have with your market kind of

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: he put out it was a one on one pass

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: rustrial just you know, kind of come around the corner

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: there and just you know, it's unfortunate. You believe he'll

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: be back though at some point this season. Oh, I

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: think so, yeah, you know what happened with that? Yeah,

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: it was a it was a um it's something to

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: do with it. Um the sled you just kind of

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: you caught caught it funny and um just kind of

27
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: an awkward situation. And he has a torn quad tenderness.

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: So he's talked about, like you said, you're gonna work

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: through this. But Basham's a guy, Armstrong's a guy. On

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: the other side, with Gregory still in the protocol, can

31
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: you talk about those two guys and then also when

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: I behind him and and do you would have in

33
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: the rotation? Well, I think as you as you saw

34
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: throughout training camp, you know, just I thought, we've done

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: a really good job working all those guys, you know,

36
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: throughout the rotation, you know, and you look at this

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: way we played in Tampa. You know, no one really

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: played above forty reps, you know, with the guys, and

39
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: that's really how we want to approach each and every week. UM,

40
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: so you know how it shakes out. I mean, obviously

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: you know Lawrence has done it, done that excellent job.

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: You know, Bash hims back yet some time off there. Uh,

43
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: and in training camp and you know you have the

44
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: young guys, you know, Bradley and Kamar. So we'll just

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, continue to work with the rotation and you

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: know there's some game plan situational things that we'll do. Also. Yeah,

47
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: I like the way he looked, Um, you know to

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: today will be a big day for him. You know,

49
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 1: he hasn't been in pads and so um, we'll see,

50
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: We'll see how his work goes today and Michael, does

51
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: he getting more in responsibilities now? I will see, you know.

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean then once again, I think you have game

53
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: plan specific things that you do and so um. But

54
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, we've been very conscientious of how we play Micah,

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: you know both you know, at the at the off

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: the line, you know, responsibilities as opposed to being on

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: the line off the line. Yeah, well I should have

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: just brought the game plan in hareb Asia. I mean,

59
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: eleven days, you guys have obviously lost a lot of

60
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: the players injury going into that. What is just your

61
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: message to the team when something is well, I mean,

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: the injuries is it's part of the game, and it's

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: it's really um, it's it's unfortunate on a personal level,

64
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: but it's it's not really if it's going to happen,

65
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: it's just really how many are going to happen? And

66
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: so that's really always part of your planning. And I think, frankly,

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: the roster development that's in place today I think helps

68
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: you better to prepare for this than the prior season.

69
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: So you know, the fact that we have sixty nine

70
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: players you know, in the house, I think is gives

71
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: us a much better chance to deal to these types

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: of situations when you had a lot of stuff going on.

73
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: How do you make sure you guys don't get their

74
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: heads down to say always me and just stay focused

75
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: on Oh no, we're dialed in how many today? Today

76
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: is a big practice for us. You know, this is

77
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: this is our heavy lifting day. So um, you know,

78
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: I think the meetings went went well. I thought for

79
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: a Wednesday to work yesterday was solid. So now we're

80
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: into the plan. We you know, we're playing a team

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: that's one of their first game on the road. Uh,

82
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: they're playing a lot of confidence. I've been impressed with

83
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: their personnel. So we're dialed in and winning this game.

84
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: There's no concern with where you are now, but after

85
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: last season, there's a here we go again sort of mentality,

86
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: You go, well, I don't think so, No, I don't

87
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: feel that way. So I don't. I don't get that

88
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: sense from our players at all private moments. Do you

89
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: kind of feel like you guys have mentally reset that

90
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: this was sort of your plan, You had your players

91
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: available to you. Do you find yourself in your quiet

92
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: moments going can I catch a break? Well? The reality

93
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: of it is, uh this is this is how it

94
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: goes year and a year out. It's just it's just

95
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: a matter how many. Uh So, you know, as I've

96
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: stated that, I mean, the injuries are so personal to

97
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: the end individual um, but in the in the team

98
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: concept and the team environment, we're we're you know, we're

99
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: focused on who's the next guy up? You know, the

100
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: opportunities and and really from a coaching perspective, we just

101
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: want to make sure we put these guys in position

102
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: to be successful. We talked about Marcus is cash rushing

103
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: and all that. What do you miss from his run defense?

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: And is just the energy that he brings well, his

105
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: energy in tempo. I think it's clearly. I mean obviously

106
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: he's he's had big plays. I mean just you know,

107
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: his takeaway um in the in the Tampa Bay Games clinic.

108
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean just the way it comes down the line

109
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: and hammers the ball out. So I mean his tenacity

110
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: and his energy when he plays with is is definitely

111
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: I think is which which you will miss any concerns

112
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: about Wilson for Sunday. Camerally answered that right now, So

113
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: we'll see how today goes. But he's not going to

114
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: practice today already is looking him to playoff obviously and

115
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: played last week. But he had a good day yesterday,

116
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: so he's definitely a lot a lot more comfortable. Um.

117
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: I think just you know, the training camp getting through that,

118
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: and we just didn't want to go too fast, you know,

119
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: with him coming off of the you know, the injury

120
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: and the rehab you know component that he was going through.

121
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: So um, I thought he looked good yesterday in practice.

122
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: You've gone with the past rush by committee approach in

123
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: your time as a coach, or speaking of me at

124
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: first for a while you Matthews, Yeah, I think it's

125
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: different because you know, you you know how many pass

126
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: rushers line up play seventy seventy plays, you know, seventy

127
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: five plays in the game, so you have to have

128
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: a rotation at some level. You know, there's there's a

129
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: school thought that you know, you know, whatever the number is,

130
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: twenty three twenty five rushes is the maximum that you

131
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: can really expect from a guy. And there's some people

132
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: that don't believe in it too so, but we want

133
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: to you know, there's a reason why we kept as

134
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: many you know, defensive players and also particularly the defensive front,

135
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: so we want we want to be you know, rotation focused. Anyways,

136
00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: go back to Donovan Hooker. The safety positions interchangeable enough

137
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: that you can handle down and throw opinions to or

138
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: just how do you view him? And it has to

139
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: be I mean, at the end of the day, I

140
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: mean it's you know, you're putting together a game plan.

141
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: You're you're trying to you know, go get your opponent.

142
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: But you know, the priorities always based on your players.

143
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: So I mean, they're everything we do is you know,

144
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: based on utilizing that specific player within this game. We're

145
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: not gonna you know, try to ask guys to do

146
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: things that they're you know, don't have the experience or

147
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: reps in so interchangeable, you know, ever, how you tiled it,

148
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, from shelf defense to you know one high,

149
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: So I mean you take all those things into account,

150
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: just double checking, you gonna have a great rate Sunday.

151
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: It's a slight chance. I mean he's still in a protocol.

152
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: So you can talk before about the apportance to get

153
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: in that first road win. What I mean, I think

154
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: I know the answer, But why is that at so important?

155
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: What does it do to a team just to get

156
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: that first Well, I mean winning on the roads the hardest.

157
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's always has been in my experience. So, um,

158
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: you know it's a their home opener, so it's uh, yeah,

159
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's I mean, I think we'll go with

160
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: your answer. It's probably better in mine. I didn't answer

161
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: it very well. So, um, with with that in uncertainty

162
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: and direct tackle and what's happening there is he is

163
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: he playing so much where you don't worry about him overcompensating.

164
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: You're doing different things to throw away from his game

165
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: because he knows that layos not can be happening. No,

166
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about it. I guess my conversations with that,

167
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: he's not concerned about it. I mean, he's you know,

168
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: he's focused on really you know, the intricacies of how

169
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna approach. Um, you know their defensive front. You know,

170
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: they give you a multiple looks, multiple defensive personnel. So

171
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: we just want to make sure we have the declarations

172
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: right and everybody's on the same page, and uh, you know,

173
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: we'll compete acquordingly. I must still playing with Zach glasher,

174
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: can you betty more comforted? If death to pop you

175
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: have to go? Definitely gives you a lot of comfort.

176
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean, experience, you can't you know, you can't buy that. So,

177
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, his his experience last year for a rookie

178
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: was tremendous. So and I think not only the experience

179
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: that he had last year, but you know, the energy

180
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: that he took into the offseason and what he did

181
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: in the off season. So Terrence is clearly probably one

182
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: of our most improverer. You know, he's definitely won of

183
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: the you know players that from his rookie year to

184
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: his second year. You'll we'll be using as an example

185
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: because he's done a tremendous job, you know, preparing for

186
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: a second year. Thank you, thank you,
