Speaker 1: he'll begin throwing again this week, so not again. I
Speaker 1: don't want to rush him back. So two full days
Speaker 1: of practice participation and then it got sore again. Are
Speaker 1: you able to trust him for the season one. No,
Speaker 1: I am, I am, you know these are these are
Speaker 1: obviously sensitive, you know, elbow issues and being on a
Speaker 1: throwing arm like that. I just want to make sure
Speaker 1: he's he's getting the proper amount of throws. That's why
Speaker 1: we're going to ease him back in again this week
Speaker 1: and and uh and get him get him ready for
Speaker 1: the regular season. But I hope you ready. We want
Speaker 1: to get towards guy's a good influence whether you carry
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks or two given an uncertainty surrounding the elbow. No, um,
Speaker 1: not at all, not at all. There an it's goods
Speaker 1: injury serious or any of those eleven guys serious that
Speaker 1: we're unaware of. Um No, actually all these guys outside
Speaker 1: of Sydney will all be ready for week one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you explain how you kind of this week is you
Speaker 1: got a game on Thursday, but then the other part
Speaker 1: of it is a game in September. Do you prepare
Speaker 1: the players certain players one way and certain players another way? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we spend spend these next couple of days just kind
Speaker 1: of um, you know, folks in on Washington a little
Speaker 1: bit our our our season, uh, you know, opening opponent
Speaker 1: and um, you know our our so called starters, the
Speaker 1: guys who we think are going to play in that game.
Speaker 1: Give give them a couple opportunities to look at the
Speaker 1: the fronts, the coverages obviously, the formations and some of
Speaker 1: the plays right now. Um, just to get them started
Speaker 1: that way. And then on top of that, Um, our
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be playing Thursday. You know, we got
Speaker 1: to get them ready to go for one more preseason game.
Speaker 1: Give them every opportunity to showcase their talent. And uh
Speaker 1: and uh in hopes of making the roster, I moved
Speaker 1: back back Thursday. And how do you feel about tons
Speaker 1: of tackle death and everything's here? Well, I feel great
Speaker 1: obviously now with the additional bow you know, we activated
Speaker 1: him obviously, and uh, um, I'm excited to watch him
Speaker 1: practice the next few days again, taking it slow with him.
Speaker 1: He hasn't done anything physically for for a while, and
Speaker 1: and I want to take it slow with him, but
Speaker 1: I hope to get him some time Thursday night. Roster
Speaker 1: move you made. It's also a little bit about the two, yeah,
Speaker 1: with Terrence and McDougall. Yeah, No, it's um. First of all, um,
Speaker 1: you know, with Terrence, I mean it's it's a great
Speaker 1: opportunity for him, um to go and and uh and
Speaker 1: compete and and and be a part of that that
Speaker 1: organization and and be a part of Todd's defense and
Speaker 1: and then in our case with McDougald, just adding adding
Speaker 1: more depth at the corner and nickel position and um,
Speaker 1: you know, just letting him come in here and compete
Speaker 1: and and and see see where he's as a young kid.
Speaker 1: That uh, um you know works out about getting in
Speaker 1: here and getting him going with with the defense. That's
Speaker 1: where you see him. And then will we be out
Speaker 1: here today? No, No, you can play on. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: just gotta make sure we gotta get him in here.
Speaker 1: We got some preliminary things we gotta do. Um you know,
Speaker 1: and it's it's still to be determined if you if
Speaker 1: you'll play Thursday, but uh, if he's ready to go,
Speaker 1: you know, wouldn't mind letting them let him take a
Speaker 1: few snaps. I mentioned Nicole, is that where people primarily
Speaker 1: have him playing. No, you know he's played both. If
Speaker 1: you watch the film, he's played inside and outside. So
Speaker 1: um you know that's something that uh that that we'll
Speaker 1: monitor and we'll watch when he gets here. I think
Speaker 1: you mentioned Jay wal Mills on the list. What's going
Speaker 1: on with him hand injury? Just rest day today, Corey Graham,
Speaker 1: did that make you a little more comfortable to let
Speaker 1: Terns go his ability to fit into Yeah, Corey, you
Speaker 1: know Corey was a veteran safety obviously, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: added added depth at that position, and this just gives
Speaker 1: Terrence uh now an opportunity to to compete and play.
Speaker 1: And uh you know, we're very comfortable with the guys
Speaker 1: we had with Rodney and and uh and Malcolm and
Speaker 1: Corey and and uh U the depth that we have
Speaker 1: at that position. It would the overall decision to not
Speaker 1: play the ones quite as much as maybe you doing
Speaker 1: years past, is does that represent a philosophical shift? And
Speaker 1: if so, what's behind him? Not a philosophical shift? Um, Listen,
Speaker 1: we had two great days against him out here, all
Speaker 1: ones and twos and and they got a lot of red.
Speaker 1: They actually play a full about a game and a half,
Speaker 1: you know, snap wise for two days and as about
Speaker 1: forty eight hours before that game, and you know it's rare,
Speaker 1: and I don't think we ever play a game on
Speaker 1: forty eight hours rest. So um, I didn't want to
Speaker 1: put our guys in in any kind of harms way,
Speaker 1: fatigue sets in, you know, obviously, and um, I didn't
Speaker 1: want to do that to our players. I thought they
Speaker 1: played extremely well though to get the two touchdowns on
Speaker 1: offense and defensively, Uh, the way the way they came
Speaker 1: out and played, Um, I was comfortable with that. And uh,
Speaker 1: so I decided to pull them, pull them early. You
Speaker 1: played the position. How does the elbow soreness affect the quarterback?
Speaker 1: And what can be done to matters that? Well, you know,
Speaker 1: you manage it by you you limit some throws, um.
Speaker 1: You know. But at the same time, you know, we
Speaker 1: get to the regular season and it's you got to
Speaker 1: play with a little soreness and a little pain, and
Speaker 1: and everybody's going to be in that in that situation
Speaker 1: all season long. Uh and the quarterbacks no different. So um,
Speaker 1: you know, we just got to continue to stay on
Speaker 1: top of his treatment. Make sure he's getting getting the
Speaker 1: right treatment obviously on that, on that, on that elbow, um,
Speaker 1: and and do what we can even in practice to
Speaker 1: make sure he's getting the right amount of reps where
Speaker 1: we're not taxing especially early now in the season where
Speaker 1: we're starting to build him back up to uh, you know,
Speaker 1: regular season four. Have you seen him from app to
Speaker 1: play for the season games. I'd say, he's he's, he's
Speaker 1: a he's a kid that came in here and obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, we brought him in as a third and
Speaker 1: and then you know, with Nick you know, resting and
Speaker 1: not playing, it's given him a great opportunity to play.
Speaker 1: And um, you know, uh, he's he's, he's done a
Speaker 1: great job for us. Um, you know, he's he was
Speaker 1: twenty two or twenty six the other night. I mean,
Speaker 1: had a had a tremendous game, led a let a
Speaker 1: good uh touchdown drive against their starters in that game,
Speaker 1: you know, in the second quarter, and and um, you know,
Speaker 1: he's done everything we've asked him to do. So I've
Speaker 1: been very pleased with him. He's a smart kid. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's he's tough mentally and physically tough. And uh he's
Speaker 1: been been a pleasure to having camp. That's a quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: But it's sofully crowded right now, you know, Robin sod folks,
Speaker 1: maybe God, have you seen any separation uh at that spot,
Speaker 1: especially with Mabe Brooks and h Robinson. Yeah, you know, um,
Speaker 1: you know with just kind of going back even with
Speaker 1: with Ron Darby and some of the comments we made
Speaker 1: back when Ron was here. It kind of pushed guys
Speaker 1: like Rasul Douglas back just a little bit to see
Speaker 1: and give him you know, a broader, uh picture scope
Speaker 1: on defense, I think. And now you see him starting
Speaker 1: to come along, you know, because because of where he's at,
Speaker 1: you know, Jalen's obviously uh in a good position, and
Speaker 1: just still want to still want to create some competition
Speaker 1: at that spot, UM, you know, bringing as much depth
Speaker 1: as you can. And listen, like I said after the
Speaker 1: game the other night to the players and might have
Speaker 1: mentioned it to you guys, you know, they gotta make
Speaker 1: it tough on us, you know, make it tough on
Speaker 1: us to UM to add the right depth, UM, to
Speaker 1: have the right guys on this football team. And and uh,
Speaker 1: this just this just adds to the talent talent level
Speaker 1: at that at that spot. He's develop free where you
Speaker 1: expected him to be at this point a year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as a first year player. UM. We've asked a lot
Speaker 1: of them actually all the way back to OTAs from
Speaker 1: a running back standpoint, from a receiver standpoint, you know, UM,
Speaker 1: and and so typically typically at this time of camp
Speaker 1: where you know, everything has been exposed to him. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for a young player. Um, he's right where, right where
Speaker 1: I expected him to be. And and I think he
Speaker 1: can only get better now when we start game planning
Speaker 1: and start honing in on you know, our defenses and
Speaker 1: things like that during the week, get play specific um
Speaker 1: with him if he's available to us on Sunday U
Speaker 1: and and he'll just get better from there. In terms
Speaker 1: of the protection for Carson, how would you assess how
Speaker 1: it's been in these first three games? And does game
Speaker 1: planning make a considerable difference. Game planning makes a considerable
Speaker 1: difference because you can scout all their looks, all their blitzes. Um,
Speaker 1: study the uh you know, studied actually just the opponent.
Speaker 1: You know, how does he rush, what hand is down,
Speaker 1: what foot is back. Those are all things that as
Speaker 1: we get into the regular season, offensive linemen begin to study.
Speaker 1: You know, Um, it's been good. I wouldn't say it's
Speaker 1: been great. You know. Obviously the other night there were
Speaker 1: a couple of shots that he took that that uh,
Speaker 1: you know, on a couple of pressures that that again
Speaker 1: we didn't scout. We weren't we weren't you know, game planning,
Speaker 1: anybody just going and play and executing. So, um, I'm
Speaker 1: not concerned at all, you know with our protection. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, and and you know as we get into
Speaker 1: the regular season, now we spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: looking at blitz is, looking at past rush and making
Speaker 1: sure are not only our backs, but our tight ends
Speaker 1: and offensive line are tuned into that protection. Which roster
Speaker 1: maddeles stand out to you heading into the last preseason game, Well,
Speaker 1: I think the corner position, corner nickel position is going
Speaker 1: to be an interesting battle this this week. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: even even the running backs, you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: it's exciting. I thought, I thought they all did a
Speaker 1: great job the other night. Um, you know in that game.
Speaker 1: So it would be interesting this week to see how
Speaker 1: that plays out. Um, got a couple of young tight
Speaker 1: ends you know, uh that be interested to see in
Speaker 1: the Slash preseason game. Um, and and so and then
Speaker 1: we got you think, look on offense again, there's a
Speaker 1: couple of young offensive linemen. You know, Dylan Gordon, you know,
Speaker 1: Taylor Hart, Um, guys like that that that are competing
Speaker 1: for sponsors. Is gonna be fun to watch these guys
Speaker 1: not only in practice this week, but but again on
Speaker 1: Thursday night. Thanks okay, all right, thanks guys,
