You know, when I look at 19 00:01:19,598 --> 00:01:22,639 Speaker 3: that team, it's a team that they're really in a 20 00:01:22,679 --> 00:01:26,238 Speaker 3: similar situation as us. You know, they have good players, 21 00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:29,118 Speaker 3: they have a good scheme, they just haven't been able 22 00:01:29,158 --> 00:01:31,519 Speaker 3: to put it together as far as a record is 23 00:01:31,519 --> 00:01:34,239 Speaker 3: concerned now. Saying that, I mean they have talent all 24 00:01:34,279 --> 00:01:36,999 Speaker 3: across the board. Like you look at their defense, it 25 00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 3: just starts with the front. They have a lot of 26 00:01:38,839 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 3: good players up front, and it starts with Simmons, and 27 00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:44,639 Speaker 3: he's one of those guys that's a huge disruptor. You 28 00:01:44,679 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 3: go to the second and third level, you see a 29 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,959 Speaker 3: lot of guys with speed and flying around. I would 30 00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:52,559 Speaker 3: also say they're a little bit unpredictable as far as 31 00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:54,279 Speaker 3: the play calling on the defense side of the ball, 32 00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:57,359 Speaker 3: which is a huge challenge for us and as I 33 00:01:57,399 --> 00:02:00,199 Speaker 3: always say, we have to be able to see the 34 00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:03,639 Speaker 3: same picture through the same set of goggles. Moving on 35 00:02:03,679 --> 00:02:06,719 Speaker 3: to the offense again, you know a little bit of 36 00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 3: uncertainty at the quarterback spot, which is always difficult to 37 00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:13,879 Speaker 3: prepare for teams that you know that have that uncertainty 38 00:02:13,918 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 3: at the quarterback spot. They have two different skill sets 39 00:02:16,679 --> 00:02:18,918 Speaker 3: and saying that they've both won games in this league. 40 00:02:19,478 --> 00:02:23,358 Speaker 3: When you look at their running backs, to me, it's 41 00:02:23,358 --> 00:02:27,319 Speaker 3: a fantastic one to two punch. Expect to see both 42 00:02:27,358 --> 00:02:29,478 Speaker 3: of those guys and they can hurt you in the 43 00:02:29,519 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 3: run game. They can and also hurt you in the 44 00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 3: past game, and they also have some big bodies up front. 45 00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:36,279 Speaker 3: There's no question, you know, as you go through the film, 46 00:02:36,519 --> 00:02:39,719 Speaker 3: like you know, Zero Ridley, there's no question why he 47 00:02:39,799 --> 00:02:41,759 Speaker 3: was one of the top free agents and everyone wanted 48 00:02:42,079 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 3: an opportunity to have him on their roster. You know, 49 00:02:45,399 --> 00:02:48,399 Speaker 3: this is a guy who is heavily targeted. At the 50 00:02:48,399 --> 00:02:51,439 Speaker 3: same time, he's opened a lot on film. Sometimes doesn't 51 00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:53,599 Speaker 3: get the ball, but he is opened a lot on film, 52 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,719 Speaker 3: and that's going to be a challenge. And we talk 53 00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:58,038 Speaker 3: about marrying up the rush and the coverage, and that's 54 00:02:58,079 --> 00:03:00,439 Speaker 3: what we're going to continue to preach, you know, for 55 00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:03,439 Speaker 3: our team. For nep it's you know, I think it's 56 00:03:03,559 --> 00:03:05,999 Speaker 3: pretty clear how we have to win games, and I 57 00:03:05,999 --> 00:03:08,078 Speaker 3: think it starts with the turnover battle first of all, 58 00:03:08,119 --> 00:03:11,719 Speaker 3: and we had some opportunities last week not to harp 59 00:03:11,758 --> 00:03:13,479 Speaker 3: on those, but we have to take advantage if we 60 00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:16,159 Speaker 3: want to get out of Tennessee with the win. Defensively 61 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:18,319 Speaker 3: and offensively, we have to continue to protect the ball. 62 00:03:19,079 --> 00:03:21,999 Speaker 3: Even though we are one of the top teams in 63 00:03:22,038 --> 00:03:24,198 Speaker 3: the league as far as protecting the ball, we've had 64 00:03:24,679 --> 00:03:26,879 Speaker 3: the football on the ground way too many times. Even 65 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,599 Speaker 3: though we recovered those fumbles. It's just been way too 66 00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 3: many times. So those are things that we have to 67 00:03:31,399 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 3: clean up. I'm sure there'll be a lot of questions 68 00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:36,599 Speaker 3: about Drake. Drake is in the protocol or he's in 69 00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:40,279 Speaker 3: the protocol, and he will be a limited participant today 70 00:03:40,359 --> 00:03:42,999 Speaker 3: in practice. So in saying that, yeah, he will throw 71 00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:45,599 Speaker 3: the ball at times in practice today, but he will 72 00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:48,799 Speaker 3: be limited. There are people a lot smarter than me 73 00:03:49,359 --> 00:03:54,439 Speaker 3: as far as clearing people with concussions, and we'll lean 74 00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:57,879 Speaker 3: on our medical professionals and also the NFL league policy 75 00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:01,079 Speaker 3: as far as getting him ready to play. I do 76 00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:03,719 Speaker 3: have confidence that, you know, as soon as if the 77 00:04:03,799 --> 00:04:05,519 Speaker 3: league says he's ready to play, that he will be 78 00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:08,039 Speaker 3: able to go out there and operate. In saying that, 79 00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:13,559 Speaker 3: I feel very comfortable putting Jacobia in there, as he 80 00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 3: is a professional and always stays ready, as you could 81 00:04:17,039 --> 00:04:20,079 Speaker 3: see from the last game. So however that plays out, 82 00:04:20,119 --> 00:04:23,079 Speaker 3: we'll see. But excited for another opportunity to go out 83 00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 3: there and continue to get better. And I said, you know, 84 00:04:25,438 --> 00:04:27,999 Speaker 3: as we continue to progress, you know, as this season 85 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 3: goes on, we want to be better as season goes 86 00:04:30,719 --> 00:04:32,639 Speaker 3: on and be one of those teams that no one 87 00:04:32,678 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 3: wants to play at the end of the year, and 88 00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:38,118 Speaker 3: that's our goal. I know he said he want but 89 00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:39,558 Speaker 3: you said at half times. 90 00:04:39,359 --> 00:04:41,559 Speaker 2: You saw Drake and said he wanted to play, and 91 00:04:41,678 --> 00:04:43,319 Speaker 2: you seen him, and what's his spirits like? 92 00:04:43,438 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 3: And as he looked to you, Yes, spirits are good. 93 00:04:45,599 --> 00:04:47,799 Speaker 3: His spirits are good. They were good after the game. 94 00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:51,518 Speaker 3: He actually threw a couple of dimes even after the hit, 95 00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:53,959 Speaker 3: so uh, he was, he was upbeat. 96 00:04:54,198 --> 00:04:58,438 Speaker 2: Logistically, challenges how they this type of situation, What did 97 00:04:58,438 --> 00:04:59,198 Speaker 2: the weeks would. 98 00:04:58,999 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 3: Be a search of the courback com I mean, we 99 00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:03,319 Speaker 3: treated as any other injury. And I would say like 100 00:05:03,359 --> 00:05:05,998 Speaker 3: having a veteran quarterback like Jakobe kind of kind of 101 00:05:05,999 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 3: puts us at ease. 102 00:05:07,078 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 4: Can you kind of. 103 00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:11,398 Speaker 3: Clarify who kind of flagged the hit for Drake to 104 00:05:11,479 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 3: be chat it was from up top the spotter? Yeah, 105 00:05:15,719 --> 00:05:17,959 Speaker 3: it was the spotter. And and you said. 106 00:05:17,719 --> 00:05:20,399 Speaker 4: Like Drake at halftime was kind of like pack in. 107 00:05:21,359 --> 00:05:25,639 Speaker 3: He was feeling okay, That's from my understanding, And when 108 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:27,278 Speaker 3: I spoke to him, he seemed like he was okay. 109 00:05:27,479 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 3: But again, like like I'm not an expert in evaluating 110 00:05:30,919 --> 00:05:34,319 Speaker 3: head injuries. And the spoter identified it and we just 111 00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:37,079 Speaker 3: at that point lean on the league and their policy. 112 00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:41,959 Speaker 3: You know what step he's in, And I'm not sure 113 00:05:41,958 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 3: exactly what step he's in, but I know he will 114 00:05:46,039 --> 00:05:52,559 Speaker 3: be at practice to that ser Yeah, I don't want 115 00:05:52,558 --> 00:05:54,558 Speaker 3: to get into like if he gets cleared. I mean, 116 00:05:54,599 --> 00:05:57,639 Speaker 3: as you guys all know, like that stuff can change 117 00:05:58,198 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 3: in a single minute, and so it's difficult to to 118 00:06:00,919 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 3: kind of get into that, uh, if he gets cleared, world, 119 00:06:06,958 --> 00:06:09,119 Speaker 3: we we do have practice players of the week. I'll 120 00:06:09,119 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 3: give them to you. Yeah, I'll give them to you 121 00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:11,399 Speaker 3: on Thursday. 122 00:06:12,359 --> 00:06:14,198 Speaker 4: Where do you things standing with the wide receiver group, 123 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 4: especially after last Sunday? 124 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,079 Speaker 3: And what's the confidence level kind of right now? Again, 125 00:06:19,198 --> 00:06:21,398 Speaker 3: you know, every week it's its own weekend. You know, 126 00:06:21,438 --> 00:06:24,238 Speaker 3: we had a great meeting this morning, a great team 127 00:06:24,239 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 3: meeting this morning, and pretty much you know, you have 128 00:06:27,318 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 3: to clean you have to clean those things up if 129 00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 3: you want to be a good football team. And they 130 00:06:30,999 --> 00:06:33,679 Speaker 3: understand that. And I would also say that those guys 131 00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 3: have caught thousands or tens of thousands of balls over 132 00:06:37,599 --> 00:06:39,399 Speaker 3: their career. And I'm not talking about the NFL. I'm 133 00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,559 Speaker 3: saying like even from a little kid, and to me, 134 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:44,998 Speaker 3: it's just about continue to push forward and look if 135 00:06:45,078 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 3: your hands, if you don't have the confidence in your hands, 136 00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:49,198 Speaker 3: what can you You got to ask yourself the question 137 00:06:49,239 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 3: what can I do to help our team win? Whether 138 00:06:51,078 --> 00:06:53,759 Speaker 3: it's you know, blocking or whatever. And they come in bunches. 139 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,238 Speaker 3: So I think those guys will be okay. Challenge is 140 00:06:56,318 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 3: it for Alex help you in terms of having uncertainty 141 00:07:00,799 --> 00:07:02,959 Speaker 3: around the quarter guys in the game and that you 142 00:07:03,078 --> 00:07:07,718 Speaker 3: do dis Yeah, I would say there are core concepts 143 00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 3: in general that all of the quarterbacks have to know, 144 00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,319 Speaker 3: especially on early downs. I would say as soon as 145 00:07:14,479 --> 00:07:17,159 Speaker 3: you know. Even though Drake will be a limited participant today, 146 00:07:18,119 --> 00:07:21,838 Speaker 3: hopefully as we continue to go forward the plays like 147 00:07:21,999 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 3: we have to see where how the how the process goes, 148 00:07:24,719 --> 00:07:26,999 Speaker 3: but hopefully we get to a point in the week 149 00:07:27,078 --> 00:07:30,279 Speaker 3: where we can just kind of, you know, iron out 150 00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:31,598 Speaker 3: their details on who's the quarterback? 151 00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:35,279 Speaker 1: World of an eligant question, but I hope you get 152 00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:37,039 Speaker 1: your take on the trade of Josh. 153 00:07:38,559 --> 00:07:40,759 Speaker 3: It was geared how you see kind of the pastor 154 00:07:41,159 --> 00:07:44,559 Speaker 3: over that. Yeah, look, Josh is one of the first 155 00:07:44,559 --> 00:07:46,839 Speaker 3: guys that you know. I spent a lot of time 156 00:07:46,999 --> 00:07:48,719 Speaker 3: watching a lot of film when he was in college 157 00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:52,319 Speaker 3: and we have you know, we still have a great relationship. 158 00:07:52,359 --> 00:07:55,319 Speaker 3: I think it's it's better for both of us. And look, 159 00:07:55,359 --> 00:07:57,039 Speaker 3: I wish them nothing but the best, but I think 160 00:07:57,039 --> 00:07:58,958 Speaker 3: it's I think it's best for both teams. 161 00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:02,199 Speaker 2: Drives related to that, do you feel compelled in any 162 00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 2: way ahead of the trade deadline to have individual conversations 163 00:08:04,719 --> 00:08:06,239 Speaker 2: with players or address. 164 00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:08,719 Speaker 3: It in a larger of the team To me, like, 165 00:08:08,999 --> 00:08:11,119 Speaker 3: you know, the guys in there understand professional football, and 166 00:08:11,119 --> 00:08:13,319 Speaker 3: they understand this time of the year. I would say 167 00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:15,879 Speaker 3: from our perspective as an organization, we're always trying to 168 00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:19,439 Speaker 3: get better, whether that's to bring players in or audition 169 00:08:19,559 --> 00:08:22,038 Speaker 3: through subtraction, and we have to both look in the 170 00:08:22,039 --> 00:08:23,519 Speaker 3: short term and also in the long term. 171 00:08:24,039 --> 00:08:27,639 Speaker 1: You guys are in terms of you know, your organizational trajectory, 172 00:08:28,359 --> 00:08:29,039 Speaker 1: your rebuilding. 173 00:08:29,279 --> 00:08:32,359 Speaker 2: Would you be relucked and to deal away guys. 174 00:08:32,239 --> 00:08:35,639 Speaker 1: Might have valued other teams but are a lack of 175 00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:37,078 Speaker 1: a better directly program. 176 00:08:36,759 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 2: Guys you know like good influences in your opinion than 177 00:08:39,479 --> 00:08:40,039 Speaker 2: the lock row. 178 00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 4: Yeah. 179 00:08:41,078 --> 00:08:43,399 Speaker 3: Look, to us, it's always like we're in the business 180 00:08:43,439 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 3: of bringing in good players and keeping our good players. 181 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,478 Speaker 3: I think you bring up an interesting point as far 182 00:08:49,479 --> 00:08:52,478 Speaker 3: as like the culture guys, and I do think that's important. 183 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 3: I also would say I think it's important with the 184 00:08:54,199 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 3: coaches as well to bring in guys that really believe 185 00:08:56,239 --> 00:08:57,759 Speaker 3: in the culture and where we're trying to go, So 186 00:08:58,119 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 3: that definitely we take those things into consideration. 187 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,479 Speaker 4: You anticipate there there being more moves of players trade 188 00:09:03,479 --> 00:09:05,039 Speaker 4: about the schronster fighting this year. 189 00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:08,799 Speaker 3: I'm sure. I mean, they'll always be moves throughout the league. Again, 190 00:09:08,839 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 3: I'm not sure how active or and Active will. 191 00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:16,599 Speaker 4: Be back to quarterback if Drake can't go and you 192 00:09:16,719 --> 00:09:20,359 Speaker 4: do start Jacoby, But is there any consideration bringing in 193 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 4: another quarterback or do you expect them. 194 00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 3: To be that backup? Yeah, I expect Joe Milton to 195 00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 3: be the backup if Drake can't play. 196 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:31,999 Speaker 2: You anticipate Kid and Wallace returning to practice this week. 197 00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 3: Kaden Wallace will not be at practice this week. So 198 00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:39,159 Speaker 3: I thought of Marcus Jones and what Mints needs a 199 00:09:39,199 --> 00:09:41,639 Speaker 3: special TYVM with the events, but how big of bost 200 00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:45,039 Speaker 3: weapons Can he be a specialistic Yeah? Marcus, even though 201 00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:47,478 Speaker 3: he's a defensive player, he's one of the most explosive 202 00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,239 Speaker 3: players in the league when he has the ball on 203 00:09:49,319 --> 00:09:51,359 Speaker 3: his hands. And I would say even if you go 204 00:09:51,439 --> 00:09:54,159 Speaker 3: back throughout the course of the season, there were times 205 00:09:54,199 --> 00:09:57,279 Speaker 3: where he was very close to popping one and saying 206 00:09:57,319 --> 00:09:58,999 Speaker 3: that it's not all about Marcus. I would say those 207 00:09:58,999 --> 00:10:02,119 Speaker 3: guys that block for him have also done a good job. 208 00:10:02,159 --> 00:10:04,239 Speaker 3: Even on that big return, you know, Hasty threw a 209 00:10:04,279 --> 00:10:06,639 Speaker 3: block that really took out three people and allowed him 210 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,119 Speaker 3: to really turn the corner. So looking forward to keeping 211 00:10:10,119 --> 00:10:10,399 Speaker 3: that goal. 212 00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 2: Just to go back to the trade that line, this 213 00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:14,879 Speaker 2: first one for you and Elliott and the chairs that 214 00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 2: you guys are in now so too for you. 215 00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:18,479 Speaker 3: It's super us covered. 216 00:10:19,479 --> 00:10:22,799 Speaker 2: How often are you having conversations with him about guys 217 00:10:22,839 --> 00:10:25,759 Speaker 2: who white Dell calls that maybe the Brons has fielded 218 00:10:25,799 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: those types of things. 219 00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:30,039 Speaker 3: We speak every day. We speak every day. I try 220 00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:31,919 Speaker 3: to give him, you know, part of our game plan 221 00:10:31,959 --> 00:10:33,639 Speaker 3: on the football side, and we talk about the roster 222 00:10:33,719 --> 00:10:35,078 Speaker 3: every single that like the. 223 00:10:35,079 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 2: Draft and that you know you've got the pretty open 224 00:10:36,759 --> 00:10:39,799 Speaker 2: Elliott's got, you know, final say, the key to who 225 00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 2: was being picked. 226 00:10:40,519 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 3: Is at the same case now with the trade them.
