1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Morning, Mike. When we talked to Dad yesterday, he framed

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: the decision in the context of is probably a little

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: bit more about than just this game. How do you

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: look at the decision on whether or not he plays

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: on Sunday? Oh, I agree, I mean, I agree with

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: you with your question and answer. It's it's more than

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: just this game. I mean, we're obviously in our seventh game,

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: so there's a ton of football left to play. Um,

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 1: so that that's definitely part of the decision, and you know,

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: just giving him the time that's needed to you know,

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: take it all in. You know, I'll just to give

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: you an update. He was he was sure when he

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: came in today, but that was that was part of

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: the plan where you know, he did more yesterday Thursday

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: than he did on Wednesday. So we'll see how he

16
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: goes through the workout today. What will he do today

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: when you guys have your rekend day. Is he'd go

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: and do this stuff with Britt again. No, I mean

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: he'll go through the region and then you know, there's okay,

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: he'll just stay on course. When I say, all of

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: these injuries are specifically to a player, and you have

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: to take the information at the time. But like you

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: were talking about Aaron Rodgers earlier in the week, I

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: mean you've had how does that factor into when you're

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: looking at another injury that's similar a guy in a

26
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 1: certain position and how it played out before even Definitely,

27
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: I think all your past experiences you look to. I

28
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: mean Aaron's specific injury was a different time of year,

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: a different part of the calf, so different timeline. Um So,

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: I mean, but you know the reality of it is,

31
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's the most important position on our

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: football team just because of how it affects the game

33
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: and what he means are to our football team. So yeah,

34
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: but it's uh, you know, his his injury is specific

35
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: to how he did it and in the timeline that

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: he needs to stay on. Hosi sort is, how did

37
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: he come through to push it more yesterday and didn't? Good? No,

38
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: He's he's confident. I mean, you know he doesn't he

39
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: doesn't waiver. You know, he wants to play and he

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: wants to continue to work towards that. Will you make

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: the decision tomorrow? Will it be sn will it be

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: a pregame workout for everything? On Sunday? Really? I mean,

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: we're focused on today. I mean, you know, just visiting

44
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: with Bread earlier. Uh, you know, he has a plan.

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: You know, he has a workload capacity. He wants a hit. Um.

46
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: You know, region is a big part of his day

47
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: based off the work he's done Wednesday and Thursday. So

48
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: we'll just stay on course, We'll do any less today.

49
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: And maybe it was a plan to you because of

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: the service. Just he's gonna stay. Can I use my

51
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: last answer? Okay, thank you? You got Cooper and Will

52
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: Greer how they look this week in practice, especially if

53
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: you don't want to have that. I think Cooper's had

54
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: a really good week. You know, Will's taking a lot

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: more snaps, so it's it's been good for Will to

56
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: get all the you know, the look teams reps and yeah,

57
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: you know Will took all the young guy reps yesterday

58
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: and in the extended work so um. But yeah, I

59
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: think both those guys. Hey, anytime you get repersent as

60
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback, it's it's a good day. So I think,

61
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, Cooper's on a nice job. Would you because

62
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: of where you're playing, would you have been indoors this

63
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: week anyway? Regardless of how Whendy's been simulate we're gonna

64
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: try to get outside tomorrow, just to just to make

65
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: the point. I mean, I think anytime you play indoors

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: or whatever surface you're playing on, you know, the norm

67
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: would be the practice on that surface on on Saturday.

68
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: But the fact that we've been inside two days, I'm

69
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: the goals to get outside tomorrow. How Art is this? Yeah,

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: how we're talking about the crowd noise there and he's

71
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: actually gonna have to so highs Cooper, we'll handle that

72
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: this week. The practice, well, I mean the silent accounts,

73
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, just to you know, do you remember you

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: have you have walkthroughs and all that that are going on?

75
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: Actually did they just? Offense and defense just completed one?

76
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: So how mean you're working at all the time. You know,

77
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: we do the pre practice, you know, extension of the

78
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: quarterback center exchange with the whole line on Thursday, so

79
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: you know we're emphasizing it and um, you know it's

80
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: it's it's part of our normal process. Talk yesterday about

81
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: how often you see that with rookies and what's the

82
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: key to fighting that. Well, I mean you gotta remember, uh,

83
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: you know, Mike didn't play last year. Um, you know,

84
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: so that you got to be conscientious of that. Any

85
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: rookie that goes into his first NFL season, I mean,

86
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: it's just it's just a long year. I mean, it's

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: it's a lot longer. You start earlier, so but it's

88
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: something that you keep you keep your eye on individually.

89
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: But it's it's also part of why we do as

90
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: many the Young Young Player meetings as we can, just

91
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: to make sure we're giving them the extra work answering

92
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: the questions that they may not be getting answered in

93
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: the in the in the in the larger meetings. But yeah, so,

94
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's tough for the rookies just because

95
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: it's it's their tough. You know, it's the first time through.

96
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: And I think everybody, even especially rookies, enjoyed the break

97
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: last week. If indeeds, Iday, would you could for Rushi's

98
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: first and then I'll start, how do you evaluate get

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: ready in just based on what you see he'll be

100
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: ready to go. I mean, he'll be ready to go.

101
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: We still got some time, do you What does your

102
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: approach different coming off of the bye week as far

103
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: as how you conduct practice or what you're looking for

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: in practice or emphasize it's God's been away for a

105
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: week or different from from thinking of where we left off.

106
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: Oh no, I think, you know, I think anytime you

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: have I think I know, anytime you have a period

108
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: of time off as a team, there's there's there's a

109
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: transition back into the full workload um that you have

110
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: to take the team through. So and then that's all

111
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: calculated into the white workouts you know on Monday, how

112
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: you practice them. I mean, the practice on Monday is

113
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: one that I've lord over time. You have to be

114
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: very very careful with you know, because you're your your

115
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: players are at a little higher risk for you know, fatigue,

116
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: injuries and things like that, because you know so much

117
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: of what we do as a team as we train together,

118
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: you know, everything's calculated. You know, everything's evaluated. So you

119
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: have a really good feel you're on top of where

120
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: they where they are. But you know, and then he

121
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: goes seven days away, and you know, the guys, you know,

122
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: we had we had a lot of players here throughout

123
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: the week week off. I mean, you know all the

124
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: way through Sunday. I saw guys in here on Sunday.

125
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: So but so guys, you know, they all stayed on

126
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: their individual workouts, we're in here in the mornings. The mornings,

127
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: we're really busy in here. But you know they're not

128
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: all training together. So there's you know, my point is

129
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: there's variance in there in that seven days. You just

130
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: gotta be smart transitioning back into a full workload. He said,

131
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: it shows up here at the top five, you know,

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: wanting we'll pop thirty. Even wanted and to set of

133
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: seven because he wanted to get here early and he

134
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: wanted to improve upon his game. Yeah, he's he's doing

135
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: all the all the little things. I mean, he's he's

136
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: learning to be pro um. You know, he didn't show

137
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: up that way, so I mean he's he's working through

138
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: it and very impressed with his growth. You know, he's

139
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, he's uh, you know, the individual meetings with

140
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: dan Quinn and that's very beneficial. You know, we've asked

141
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: a lot of him, you know, especially to play in

142
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: the different positions and the back and forth of it.

143
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: You know, the communication responsibility that that he was was

144
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: also put put on his plate. So he's handled everything

145
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: very well. So you know, the fact of the matter,

146
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: it is he knows he needs the extra time to

147
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: one on one um. You know, meetings and so forth

148
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: that you know, speaks to his work ethic. I think

149
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: Dak was saying yestually he thought that the calf might

150
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: be related to the ankle injury that he suffered last year.

151
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: With the medical people, so there's any kind of connection

152
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: between the two, I mean, you know, that's that's something

153
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: that obviously Dak would would know best and in Britain

154

155
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: an injury that we're dealing with. And you know, I

156
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: think like any time a player comes off of a major,

157
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: major injury, particularly to joint joint joint injuries, you know

00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: things that he probably has an experience before. That's a

00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,160

164
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,080

169
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: so good. I think Michaels look good out there. And

170
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: you think about the success this year, that mature mindset

171
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: that you can trying to maintain. How different does this

172
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: churchman sort of build them last year when you're going

173
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: in pratting water analysis. Well, this will be a totally

174
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: different environment that we're playing in, So, I mean that's

175
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: part of it. I think they're playing. You know, they're

176
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: they're playing better than you know at that other plant.

177
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: You know they're they're playing pretty darn good when we

178
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: went up last or two. So, um, this will be

179
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: a different challenge. I mean it always is year to year,

180
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: but just just the environment that we're planning will be

181
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: totally totally different. So this will be a big challenge.

182
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: Did you leave some watermelons that that felt last year

183
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: for this traverse? I don't think, I think, why don't

184
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: think watermelons last that long? Good
