1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Where you at physically some of the guys, anybody coming back?

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say if.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 3: We were practicing today, everybody would practice. The Dory went

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 3: practice today again, and Drew went in practice today. Everybody

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 3: else would practice any chance.

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 4: But I offered one of those guys.

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: I don't think so, but we'll see.

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 3: I don't think so, but for them, we'll see.

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, go all the way to the end like we

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: normally do.

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 5: So you sound optimistic that McLoud would be available.

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we're not doing you know, physical activity,

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 3: but that's that's my hope.

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: Where are you at at that cornerback position at this point?

15
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: But that who's gonna play? Yeah, we got a couple

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: more days.

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: We'll see where everybody's at Tomorrow night, Thursday morning.

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: You know, has not gone into the slot very much.

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 4: Do you have comfort confidence that he could do it?

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 4: If if that's what it's called for on Thursday night, Yeah, that's.

21
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: What we thought was best to do, game plan wise. Tough,

22
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: tough opponent, really good player CD. They've got really a

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: lot of good players, so.

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: We've been burning it pretty good here.

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Brian.

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 6: The injuries aside, do you do you think it's easier

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 6: you have. You know, we talked about very having a

28
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 6: very young team. You just bounce back a better, you

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 6: know than on a short week physically.

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: Uh No, I think I think it's always difficult for

31
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: these guys on a short week the routine. But again,

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta play them, you know when they're

33
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 3: when they're called the pots.

34
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: So we're doing the best we can.

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: Our walkthroughs, extra meetings, extra walkthroughs.

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: We'll do a little bit of a jog.

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: Through here today, but you gotta put everything you got

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: into it.

39
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 5: The Cowboys, Uh success against the Giants in the last

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 5: six seven years has really been marked by both sides

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 5: of the line of the trenches. How much better do

42
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 5: you think you guys are today on both sides of

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage than you were even last year.

44
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would just say that, you know, our guys

45
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 3: are doing everything you do to get ready to play

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: a play a good team and the only thing that

47
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: matters is this game.

48
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 5: When you're building a team, though, are you building it?

49
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 5: Obviously you're hand in hand with Joe in the offseason.

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 5: I'm building a team. Are you building it with the

51
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 5: strength of your the strength of your divisional opponents in mind.

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, you certainly look at that, but you try to

53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: do the best job you kind of building the team

54
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: that you think is gives your best chance for that

55
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: particular season or year or game.

56
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 5: You didn't commit to Greg one way or the other

57
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 5: yesterday as the kicker for Thursday night.

58
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: Where are you at with that situation?

59
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be Greg.

60
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 7: So we went into last week, we're talking about Garrett

61
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 7: and how much of a you know, guy you have

62
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 7: to identify right before it. I assume Parsons falls in

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 7: that class, if not very close.

64
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, dynamic player. You know, he's lined up in a

65
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: variety of spots. He has the ability to play really

66
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: any position. Explosive, athletic, tough, hell of a football player,

67
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 3: one of the better players in the league. Challenge of block.

68
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 8: I would assume if you just look at the numbers,

69
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 8: it would be just run the ball against them.

70
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: But I assume it's not that simple.

71
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is unique.

72
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: It's you know, there's three games in. You got three

73
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: games to look at.

74
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: You can go back to Minnesota with coach Zimmer, but

75
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: all three of those kind of took on a life

76
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: of its own.

77
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: You know.

78
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: The Cleveland game was kind of touch and go there

79
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: for a while until the end of the.

80
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Second quarter, the early part of the third quarter. Then

81
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: they get up.

82
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: So you call games differently based on how things are

83
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: going in a game.

84
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: You know, the New Orleans got off to a fast.

85
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: Start up thirty five to thirteen or whatever it was

86
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: at the half, and the same thing with Baltimore. The

87
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: unique thing is, you know in the fourth quarter they

88
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: scored a bunch of points there to make it a

89
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: game twenty eight, twenty five, and you know Baltimore hit

90
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: a couple third down conversions, a big one and the

91
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 3: flowers over there, So each of them are a little

92
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: bit different.

93
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: You don't when you're up that much or down that much.

94
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: You look at tendencies and things like that, but as

95
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: the game goes, you know, play callers call things differently

96
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: based on situation or situations you're in down in distances score.

97
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 3: So I mean, those numbers are those numbers, but I

98
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: think the games are all different, and you evaluate how

99
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: they call it.

100
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 4: Talk a lot about how much Singletary is like a

101
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: reliable guy. At what point do the fumbles kind of

102
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: chip away at that?

103
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to do a better job of taking

104
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: care of the football. And he knows that and he will.

105
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: What do you think of your tight ends play? I

106
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: think it's been good. Yeah.

107
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 3: I mean again, we play a certain style each week.

108
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: Their job is to do a good job.

109
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: In the run game.

110
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: We've had some I think Dan alluded to it last

111
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 3: week in terms of them staying in for protection. So

112
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: they're doing a good job with that. And think it's

113
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: a tough group. I'm pleased with them.

114
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: The coming along good.

115
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, why you worked out for a tight end yesterday?

116
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: What were you looking for?

117
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, again, that's the normal procedure during the year. You know,

118
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: we'll see kJ will probably be down here on i R.

119
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 3: So we need some We need some more guys to

120
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: come in for legs. Show team that the tight ends

121
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: play quite a bit of football physical. We've used a

122
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: lot of multiple tight end groupings, so for look teams

123
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: and show teams down the road, you think you need

124
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: some need some legs.

125
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 5: Can you speak it all to the adjustment that a

126
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 5: tight end goes through from the college that the folks,

127
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 5: it seems like that it's.

128
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: Rare for rookie tight end to come in and just

129
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: go off.

130
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a difficult position to play. I think THEO

131
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: has done a done a great job. Tim Kelly has

132
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: really done a great job with him, you know, based

133
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: on how they come out of the college. They come out,

134
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: the things they see, they're they're involved in so many

135
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: aspects of the game. Having coach that you don't never

136
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: have them. You never have enough individual time with the

137
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: tight ends because there they got to be in tune

138
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: with the line, in tune with the passing game, the protections.

139
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things to cover in that room.

140
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's like the quarterback room, but there's

141
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 3: a lot of you know, there's so much to cover,

142
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: and they kind of get drug in different areas, you know,

143
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: protection meeting here, run game meeting here, past game meeting here,

144
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: and then you're like, well I got ten minutes of

145
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: individual time. So they do a good job. They meet early.

146
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: He's he's a smart young man. He's done a nice job.

147
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 5: Daves.

148
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 8: You've shown a willingness to play younger players.

149
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: To play rookies, have them come in.

150
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 3: Maybe you've got a bunch of guys playing this year

151
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 3: and just to me, the most in the league right now.

152
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: I did not know that but pwise appreciate the homework.

153
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 8: But in terms of being selective, how selective are you

154
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 8: as a coaching staff for you personally to know what

155
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 8: a guy can handle and can a guy handle making mistakes?

156
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 7: You know, some guys make mistakes, put their heads down

157
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 7: and they walk away. Some guys are able to just

158
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 7: plow through.

159
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: How do you I think that's based on the individual player.

160
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: I don't think it's just these. I mean it could be.

161
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: A five year I have to know the player and

162
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: understand kind of what makes them tick and what doesn't

163
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: you know. For young players, they're gonna make mistakes. Everybody's

164
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: gonna make mistakes, but young players that's why you you

165
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: play them because you think they have good talent. They're

166
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: going to go through some growing pains here and there,

167
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: but you know you can learn from them, learning from

168
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: the things that that show up. And then as the

169
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 3: season goes on, you see improvement from those from those

170
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: young players. And I'd say I have confidence in all

171
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: our young guys, all our rookies.

172
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: I think they're they're the right DNA.

173
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: They work hard, they're smart, they care about football, they're

174
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: good teammates.

00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: It's important to them.

176
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: And then you have good veterans in the room that

177
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: help them along the way. So they've all been through it.

178
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,720
