1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Can you go over the injuries from the weekend? Sure? 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: Who do you want to know about Michael? Michael won't 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: practice today. He's long care what's long term? 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 2: Week to week? 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: Week week? Come back today? No, we'll keep him down 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: again today. He's he's close. I means I assume tomorrow 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: and then he probably won't go into it. Let's let's 8 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: see how it is today. Possibly I wouldn't count on it, 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: but he's he'll be okay, Flat will not go today, 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: getting close? How much of a concern issue Drew will 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: go today? Both of them? 12 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: How much of a concern is your inside linebacker depth 13 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: right now? At Mike is week to week? Deontay Johnson's 14 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: week to week, Matt Adams got hurt, and Carter Coughlin. 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: You can tell us if he's back or not. 16 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: But he will come back. He will come back today. 17 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: But yeah, certainly we're down some guys there, So see 18 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: what happens down the road. 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 3: What Adams week to Week's Johnson. 20 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: Doing week to week? Yeah, he'll be doing stuff today. Yep. 21 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: Is Chapman Okay, see practicing? Who he's there? 22 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: A guy on the roster, Davis. 23 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 3: They've got a long list here with people, So just 24 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 3: sure who won't be going so good question. Charlotte Runyon 25 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: will not. 26 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: Neil will take more reps than he has John Michael 27 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: will as well. Drew will do stuff today, Locke Cador 28 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: will not. He's week to week. Gunner week to week. 29 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 4: M H. 30 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: Tracy will practice. Will will yep, Yep, he's good, He's fine, 31 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: flot g O, Drew Phillips will be limited, Matt Adams 32 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: week to week, Micah Carter will come back. 33 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: Where we're at, Is there a guy on the team 34 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 2: that plays a different position that you're gonna have to 35 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: move to inside linebacker to cover like Nick McLeod or 36 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 2: something to cover for? 37 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: No, No, nope. Are you any closer at this point 38 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: to or how much closer are you at this point 39 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: to you know, settling on who the cornerback is going 40 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: to be opposite of Deontay Banks. Yeah, we'll still get 41 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: we'll get flopped back here and you know those guys 42 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: will still work in and out. So we haven't made 43 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: that decision yet. What do you think is going to 44 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: determine that decision in your mind? Whoever we think is 45 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: going to give us the best chance after training camp? 46 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: How much of that is preseason. How much of that 47 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: is practice because of how much what is availability? You know, 48 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: so can you stay out out there and do it 49 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: and be dependable doing it and then performance so when 50 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: flock comes back out, it'll take as many reps as 51 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: you can get and then we'll sit down and make 52 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: a decision on what. 53 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 5: We think you'd having a big back to a conversation 54 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 5: I have with Alan Robinson in the beginning of training camp, 55 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 5: and he said that when he decided to sign here, 56 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 5: you were pretty up front with him, laid out everything. 57 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 5: I would assume you do that with a lot of 58 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 5: players when they come in. When guys sign last week 59 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 5: the way Jacob Johnson did, Kelly did, how realistic are 60 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 5: you with their chances telling them what they need to 61 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 5: do in order to make this team, because I gotta 62 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 5: imagine nobody wants to come here. 63 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: And just be a body. Well, I mean, look at 64 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: this time of the year, when there's guys out on 65 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: the street that are trying to get jobs. I mean 66 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys that come and work out 67 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: for us on a weekly basis that you want to 68 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: get their foot in the door. So some of those 69 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: guys are just come here, take as many reps as 70 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: you can get. Learn it. There's you know, it's a 71 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: little bit different than I sat down with Alan, but 72 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: I expect all the coaches to here's what it is. 73 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: This is what we expect out of you. Be very 74 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: clear with them, and then let them go out there 75 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: and do it. So when it happens this time of 76 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: year and you're bringing guys in, you know, sometimes the 77 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: day of or the day before, and there's not a 78 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: lot of long conversations that I have with them. It 79 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: might be you know, short in the hallway or but 80 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: their their position. Coaches certainly do play like Chapman's rundown 81 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: do for a players or roster chances. Well, it's a 82 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: I mean that was a heck of an effort play. 83 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: So that's something you evaluate, is people's effort, how they 84 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: run to the football, same thing offensively, cleaning the pocket, 85 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: chasing the ball. So effort is certainly something that you 86 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: you evaluate. That was a a great effort play by him. 87 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 4: Are you bringing guys to this time? A lot of 88 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 4: them don't have a lot of experience that JackAM Johnathan's different. Yeah, 89 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: and he plays a very specialized role. So like is 90 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 4: he even better path or you haven't had a fullback, 91 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 4: so like why bring him in now? 92 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: I guess yeah, he had good We worked out a 93 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: few people for that. I wouldn't just say specifically full 94 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: back role, but he can he can do some other 95 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: things too, and he understand you know, he was able 96 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: to pick the things up pretty quickly when we put 97 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: him in. We needed some legs, to be honest with you, 98 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: where we were at the tight end room. So he 99 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: had some familiarity with karm. He's also had some other 100 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: people that I know that have coached him or played 101 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: with him. James Ferrins was with him. So it was 102 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: pretty seamless just for that day to get him in 103 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: and now we'll give us some opportunity on special teams, 104 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: some core things that he can do, and try to 105 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: do some of the things that he does well. But 106 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: he can do some other thing. It's just not he's 107 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: played in the backfield a bunch, but he's flexible enough 108 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: to I'm not saying just put him on a line 109 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: like you with THEO. He can put him off the 110 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: line and do some things with him. So he had 111 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: some experience. He's a tough guy, which is something that 112 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: we covert. 113 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: You're young for your young defense, what kind of I guess, 114 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: particularly of the secondary. What kind of opportunity challenge is 115 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: tomorrow against Darreon Rodgers. 116 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, every opportunity is great. Obviously, he's one of the 117 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: better players to ever play at that position, So look 118 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: forward to the competition. You know, got a ton of 119 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: respect for Aaron and his game. He's done it in 120 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: a long time at a very very very high level. 121 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: So it'll be good. It'll be good. How excited are 122 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: you for two more gabes? And what? 123 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 5: What do you really hope to accomplish? 124 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: Same thing that we did against Detroit? To go out 125 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: there and practice against another team. Let the ones get 126 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: a lot of reps with the ones, so you're you know, 127 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: practicing against another team, continue the evaluation process so to 128 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: be you know, you don't have to get on the 129 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: airplane to do it. So it's good. How valuable can 130 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: the opportunity for a player like Elite Neighbors be to 131 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: go against Sauce Gartner tomorrow? Yeah? 132 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 4: Good? 133 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: You know, again, another another heck of a player, you know, 134 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: the Leaks hasn't played in an NFL game yet, so 135 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: he said, training camp and he's done well with everything 136 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: we've asked him to do. But certainly when you're playing 137 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: against the guy of that caliber, Sauces caliber would be 138 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: a good competition. There were several fights against the Lions. 139 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: How do you prevent that against the Jets? Talk about 140 00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: it again, we don't want to fight. You intend to 141 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: sit the starters in this final game the way that 142 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: you have in the past. Not there yet, be there 143 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: at the end of the week, like normal, sit down 144 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: and talk about it. Anything we should expect to see, 145 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: Like obviously you turned them all over five times the 146 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: other day. You weren't happy about it after the game. 147 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: As you plan on addressing that out here, you know 148 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: in practice? Yeah, we do it every day. Ye something 149 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: we don't want to do. We drill it, we coach it, 150 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: we teach it on tape. It happened for a variety 151 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: of reasons. We go through, we show them. We continue 152 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: to do it out here, something we do every day. 153 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 4: As Sada, Simmons's obviously kind of an ome way to 154 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 4: play that nickel position. I mean, can he match up 155 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 4: with speedy slot corners. I mean, you have to be specialized. 156 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 4: We're going to use him there. 157 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: In terms of the matchup. Yeah, I think Shane has 158 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: done a good job of doing different things with him 159 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: calling different things. Again, his the one thing that he 160 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: does have is length, so and you could see that 161 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: on some of the plays earlier on training camp where 162 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: they might have had a step on him. But his 163 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: length makes up for maybe the quickness element of a 164 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: shifty receiver. So you know, matchups things that go into it. 165 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: But he's done a nice shot. David Long possibly, I'm 166 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: not sure on that one yet. I would probably lean 167 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: right now towards no. I guess I skipped him hit 168 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: the drew. Sorry, there's a lot of dbs on it. 169 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 6: The line is there is there any concern? I know 170 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 6: they're mostly veterans, but do you so, I guess I'll 171 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 6: ask it this way. Do you rely on that part 172 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 6: of their game to get them through where there hasn't 173 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 6: been the continuity that you probably would have preferred. 174 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question. So that's probably one of 175 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: our more veteran groups now when you on our team. 176 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: So those four players, i'd say five include Stinny. You 177 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: have people that have played a lot of football, some 178 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: in different spots, some together at other teams as well, 179 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: and Nat who's been here and done it at a 180 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: high level for the years he's been in this league. 181 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: So I would say those four players that are communicating 182 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: well with one another, I have a lot of confidence 183 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: in that group. Their experience, their communication, their style of play. 184 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: They've really been good additions to our football team. If 185 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: I could just learn more quickly. Have you learned about 186 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: their position? 187 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 4: Coach? 188 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: You hired him, so I understand that you guys to. 189 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 6: Know him, but what have you learned during this camp 190 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 6: about him? 191 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, COM's a good coach. Again, we have cross passed 192 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: with him not working, but with a lot of people 193 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: that I've worked with, He's done a nice job with them. 194 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: I think they respect him. He's coached two of them, 195 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: got a good way about him. He's got good leadership traits, 196 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: good communication skills, good at the fundamentals, and I would 197 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: just I've thrown him in there every time. James Ferrence 198 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: has been a good addition as well, who has played 199 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: in this system for quite some time and played center, 200 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: so he can see it through their eyes. They've worked 201 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: well together on the opposite end of the spectrum from 202 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: the offensive line you're talking about. They have the experience. 203 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: Brandon Brown was talking about how your defensive back, your 204 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: cornerback room, a defensive back in particular, is super young. Yeah, 205 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of spots. Can it be too young 206 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: for you? Like? Do you how important do you think 207 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: it is to have a veteran voice. I think the 208 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: most important thing is to play well, so whether you're 209 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: a ten year vet or a two year guy. But 210 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, the experience helps definitely does. We're young at receiver, 211 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: you know, we've got two young tight ends with Belly 212 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: and Theo. We're young at running back with Gray and Tracy. 213 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: You know, Motor's been in the system for a while, 214 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: so so we're young. You know, these guys are going 215 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: to continue to improve. You know, we like we like 216 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: them obviously we've drafted most of them or brought them 217 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: on board, so you know, the communication, the experience that 218 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: all plays into the most important thing is playing well, 219 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: regardless of how many years you played.
