1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Let's see injuries from yesterday. Uh, Benny Foller tweaked his

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: hamstring a little bit, and so we're hopefully we'll be

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: ready to go. Um, sort of like Latimer last year

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: last week with his calf, So we're hopeful we'll have him.

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: Chef had a good day and Ze littill do more today.

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: So I think those were the guys that, uh, he'll

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: get the final clearance going forward here today, I think.

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: But he had a good day, you know, practice again today,

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: just the independent. Yeah, there's there's all the clearing and

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: the protocol that he has to go through, but um,

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: he feels good and had a good day yesterday. All right,

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: So I'll take your questions. In the preseason, is a

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: lot made of like a defenses are only showing vanilla schemes.

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm curious, is that in your mind like the halftime

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: adjustment thing or is there some truth to that? I

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: don't think so. I think in order to learn how

17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: to play your schemes that you have to play him

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 1: during during training camp. You know, there's obviously uh some

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: exotics off that everybody saves for the opponent that they're

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: gonna play. But I do think you get to get

21
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: you get an idea of how a team is gonna play.

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: The safe of Nathaniel Promis see some stuff on Sunday

23
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: that you didn't see in the preseason. Sure, and every

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: quarterback does, and that's why you have rules and things

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: that you kind of kind of live by. Do you

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: think watching them defends Christian McCaffrey helps you prepare for

27
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: how they might defense take one from Well, obviously he's

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: the focus of you know, stopping Carolina's offense, along with

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, and you know they're very balanced attack as

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: far as running and throwing. So I would imagine that

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: we'll see some of those same same same concepts. You

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: get the sense that expectations for rookie quarterbacks are much

33
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: different now than they were saying when you were working

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: with Donovan McNabb or even maybe ten years ago. Are

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: they much different? What people expect expectations? Yeah, Oh, I

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: don't know, Maybe not the head coach, but what's universally expected. Yeah,

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean that's probably a better question for your colleagues.

38
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: I would imagine. Um, I don't know. I think we

39
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: expect the players who put in the game to perform well, Um,

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, we try not to make excuses for the

41
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: fact that players are young. If they're in there, we

42
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: expect him to play. And I think that that that

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: goes for quarterbacks as well. How much do you feel

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: that you personally think you're waging and sort of hitched

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: the Daniel on that you're a long term you know,

46
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: success and here and futures hind those directly type that. Well,

47
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit like the quarterbacks themselves, you know,

48
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: I sort of stay in the moment, and so my

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: focus is obviously finishing up our practices and today we're

50
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: doing Thursday things right and finishing up our practices and

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: flying to Tampa and playing the game, and so you know,

52
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: I stay in the moment on that. I know you

53
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: don't think much about a career record thing you personally,

54
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: But do you feel more pressure now to I don't.

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't. I'm here to try to

56
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: inspire our guys to win, and there's reasons why teams

57
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: win and losing. You know. I think as we move

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: forward here and develop a winning team, it's going to

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: change just because of the nature of the quarterback position,

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: and that I didn't want to obviously Jones to developed

61
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: over a long period of time. Do you have to

62
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: have more patience with rookie mistakes and learning on the

63
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: job than you might with someone in another position. No,

64
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I think we we demand that they perform well,

65
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: we understand when things happen and why they happen, and

66
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: we try to correct the mistakes. But no, we're gonna

67
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: put him out there and expect him to do do

68
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: what he needs to do, kind of stay in there though,

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: right to kind of endure the challenges he may face.

70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not something what's the premise of that question?

71
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: Guess with a linebacker, you might say he's not handling

72
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: able to pull him out. But with a rookie quarterback

73
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: sometimes probably would think you'd have to leave him. And

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: we're putting him in there to play, and we expect

75
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: they will be in there playing for a very long time.

76
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: Say it more, you Do you feel you were personally

77
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: or maybe the team feel feel energized by this move?

78
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: Do you think I think it's exciting when you know

79
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: there's change. Um, And you know, I think that's a

80
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: better question for the locker room. But as far as

81
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, you know, we always put our best foot forward.

82
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: We always give the players our best effort and put

83
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: a plan together and call a game that will help

84
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: them based on, you know, what their skill sets are.

85
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: You know, the game gets called a little bit differently

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: for Eli than it does for Daniel. Um, you know,

87
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: and you're just trying to maximize you know, the production

88
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: um out of whoever's playing. And that's really where it's at.

89
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: A report that you canceled your weekly spot with Princess Focus,

90
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: the reason for that, well, I think that was an

91
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: organizational decision, um, you know, not to do that. You know,

92
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: and most people aren't aware of this, but I wasn't

93
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: contractually obligated to do that that spot, and we did

94
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: it out of as a courtesy and out of respect

95
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: for our relationship with the radio station. And so we

96
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: just felt like for a while here we just uh,

97
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, put that to bed for a while and

98
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: just not do it, and and move forward.
