Speaker 1: Go ahead, kind of pull us in on some of
Speaker 1: the guys who've been missing practice due to injuries. Anything
Speaker 1: serious on any of those friends.
Speaker 2: No real serious ones. You know, Burford actually probably the most.
Speaker 2: You can miss a couple of weeks, a few weeks possibly.
Speaker 2: You know, he has a hand issue. We're still kind
Speaker 2: of making a decision on here over the next couple
Speaker 2: of days. Broken hand, yes, uns too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Burford just out there participating in what he's doing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, we're just trying to decide whether to
Speaker 2: get surgery on it or not. You know, it's you know,
Speaker 2: I know how you guys are with timetables, but guessing
Speaker 2: around three.
Speaker 1: Weeks dominant and his opportunity to get some of those
Speaker 1: first team reps.
Speaker 2: He's done a real good job. You know, we haven't
Speaker 2: had pads on yet, which is always a challenge for guys,
Speaker 2: especially in protection. But you know, he's stepped in there
Speaker 2: and got more reps and I'm been excited about him.
Speaker 1: We've seen s uh Nixon call get a lot more
Speaker 1: eat your time at center as well. H as he
Speaker 1: just larger picture over the the the couple of years,
Speaker 1: as he've made a lot of progress.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, he is, and that they're all battling for
Speaker 2: those inside spots. And anytime, you know, especially when you
Speaker 2: lose guys in there, you're not having Burfer Fleicianald's miss
Speaker 2: a little bit of time. You gotta have guys in Brendle.
Speaker 2: We get some time off. He's not out there every
Speaker 2: single day, so guys got to be able to back up.
Speaker 2: They got to be able to do center, they gotta
Speaker 2: be able to do guard and the other. No, all three,
Speaker 2: how is that both s looking?
Speaker 1: And then how do you like the uh depth at
Speaker 1: defensive end?
Speaker 2: And he's a g looked like Nick, So that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: And the depth's been great. I've been really excited about
Speaker 2: it so far. Seems like we got great depth. Seems
Speaker 2: like we're improving. But it's also four days in two
Speaker 2: and decide to get pads on a Monday like his
Speaker 2: paths basically that start. Yeah, pretty much. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: you try not to make big judgments as a coach
Speaker 2: and til the pads get on cause things get a
Speaker 2: lot realer when that happens.
Speaker 1: What have you seen from Leonard Floyd since it's been
Speaker 1: in the.
Speaker 2: Building that he seems just like the guy I've always
Speaker 2: gone against, same type of body, same type of athlete.
Speaker 2: I'm getting to know as a person. He's like advertised.
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy loves football. It's got a hell
Speaker 2: of a motor, real fun to be around. Was progressed
Speaker 2: from here one year too.
Speaker 3: Is he poked up a little bit? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think he has a little bit. You know, I
Speaker 2: think he made some big steps towards end of last
Speaker 2: year and he's helped us out in special teams. He's
Speaker 2: trying to be a part of our group and getting
Speaker 2: that rotation as a rusher and get better in the
Speaker 2: run game. But I've been excited about Robert. He had
Speaker 2: a good offseason. He's been good in these four days
Speaker 2: and we'll see how it goes. Oh yes, yeah, planning
Speaker 2: day off.
Speaker 1: Moving Thomas, I think year three or four in the NFL,
Speaker 1: he went from quarterback to tight end. He never played
Speaker 1: tight end evers. How impressive is it to make that
Speaker 1: pretty rare transition in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's I mean it's really impressive. I
Speaker 2: remember studying him as a quarterback coming out out and
Speaker 2: he was one of the better throwers I found the draft,
Speaker 2: So he was you know, I never got to work
Speaker 2: with him or anything, But I just knew he was
Speaker 2: a real talented quarterback and he was a good runner,
Speaker 2: had a good arm, and then someone that some time
Speaker 2: moved him to tight end and he's got the perfect
Speaker 2: body to play that too, and he's had a hell
Speaker 2: of a career. So felt real fortunate for us to
Speaker 2: get him here in camp. And it's different offense for him,
Speaker 2: so he's got a lot on his plate getting here
Speaker 2: late and OTA's and stuff, but he's picking it up
Speaker 2: and I think he'll get better and better each day.
Speaker 1: Jobs had a nice day today. Where is he in
Speaker 1: kind of knowing the offense and just his kind of
Speaker 1: learning yours.
Speaker 2: Student, I think he knows that mentally. It's just it's
Speaker 2: just about going through the reps in the situations and
Speaker 2: getting a feel for the rhythm of it, especially with
Speaker 2: this D line in front of him on every play.
Speaker 2: That's always a challenge of it. You want to get
Speaker 2: a feel of the offense and everything, but don't expect
Speaker 2: po to be blocking very well with the second and
Speaker 2: third group, and especially when you don't have pads on.
Speaker 2: So that's always the biggest challenge for quarterbacks in training camp,
Speaker 2: especially when you're going with twos or threes. But but
Speaker 2: I think Dobb's in a hell of a job for
Speaker 2: so far.
Speaker 3: I was seen Willis make some nice plays.
Speaker 1: How is he progressing in your tube?
Speaker 2: I've been excited with him, I mean, still only four
Speaker 2: days in, but showed a couple of clips yesterday of
Speaker 2: him doing a hell of a job in the run game.
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys noticed it in the past game
Speaker 2: and see it the same way, and hopefully you'll keep
Speaker 2: taking steps forward.
Speaker 1: First, he was talking about one on ones and how
Speaker 1: sometimes it's frustrating because we'll write stuff about who's winning
Speaker 1: and and guys are trying to work on things, and
Speaker 1: it's different offensive line versus receivers.
Speaker 2: But what do you make of one on ones when those.
Speaker 1: Start next week?
Speaker 2: It's good work for people, I mean, but it's not
Speaker 2: a you know, one on ones are hard for everybody.
Speaker 2: You know, it doesn't feel quite the same when it's
Speaker 2: eleven on eleven out there, when you're just in a
Speaker 2: one on one battle, a guy's gonna eventually win. Very
Speaker 2: rarely do someone just gets stoned and completely punked in
Speaker 2: a one on one drill. So it always looks like
Speaker 2: you eventually win. But it's it's really good work for
Speaker 2: those guys. I mean, it's the the reps in you
Speaker 2: with their hands, the speed of getting off. It's stuff
Speaker 2: when you don't have pads on, because it's a little
Speaker 2: when there's not a threat of a bull rush and
Speaker 2: things like that, or if they are bull rushing you
Speaker 2: don't have pads, it makes it a lot tougher. So
Speaker 2: again I get I take it more. We won't do
Speaker 2: that until we have pads. That's one of my favorite
Speaker 2: things about Monday. We get pads on and we get
Speaker 2: to watch those guys and sometimes in team drills and stuff,
Speaker 2: and you know, someone can have a bunch of catches
Speaker 2: or things like that, or they can get to the
Speaker 2: quarterback because of some pressures and stuff, and you don't
Speaker 2: know if it's zoned, you don't know what the situation is.
Speaker 2: But when it's one on one, you can't hide and
Speaker 2: you get to really evaluate it.
Speaker 3: Seems like in the past you guys have had like one.
Speaker 3: If you have a young safety coming up, you always
Speaker 3: have kind of a veteran guy who's been around it,
Speaker 3: has a lot of experience. How do you feel about
Speaker 3: the safety position as it is right now with Gaia
Speaker 3: Air and either Pufonga or Odom or whomever. Would you
Speaker 3: guys look into potentially adding a vetteran guy later.
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel great about our safeties right now,
Speaker 2: and it'll be real exciting to get huffback here. And
Speaker 2: I think in a week or two. But I think
Speaker 2: him not being in there, I mean, Gio has really
Speaker 2: taken advantage of his reps. I think he's playing as
Speaker 2: good as he's played at the safety level. You know,
Speaker 2: Jaiyre just getting that experience last year, it's helped him
Speaker 2: out so much. We've got a number of young guys
Speaker 2: in here which are competing hard, and we do have
Speaker 2: some older vets here with a lot of knowledge who
Speaker 2: have played some football, guys like Eric Harrison stuff like that.
Speaker 2: So we got a good group. I don't rule out
Speaker 2: anything as it goes. You never know how to play out,
Speaker 2: but I feel good about our group what we got
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 3: What does the pars all have a chance for Monday.
Speaker 2: Yes he does. It's not guaranteed, but he has a chance.
Speaker 1: A week or two to return to practice.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna get checked up when we go
Speaker 2: down to LA and scrimmage. And I think down there
Speaker 2: is where we kind of will we're expecting around that time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, any update on Trent or you can? Does you
Speaker 1: go to meeting?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah he he goes to everything he said practice, But yeah,
Speaker 2: no updates on either. How's how's this sort back and
Speaker 2: the neck kind of ye has to ask? Okay, thanks guys,
