And uh, 23 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: you know, I just get an extra rep on a 24 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: few things. How does he look to you physically? Breaks, explosiveness, speed, 25 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: looks the same, He looks the same as he's as 26 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: he's always looked, and looks great and ready to go. 27 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: If you don't have any game action with him, and 28 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: say Kan from from here until the opener, any concern 29 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: about opening day? No, I mean not not concerned with Odell, 30 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: just because you know, we got we got years of 31 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: experience and you get a lot of reps in practice, um, 32 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: which uh, which is important and nice and so um, 33 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: you know, we have game experience together. Now say Kwan, 34 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: That's that's different. Um, just because he's a rookie and 35 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: miss missing some valuable times, so I know he's uh, 36 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, getting mental routes. That's that's it's different than 37 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: practice reps, is different than than game reps. So um, 38 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully he can get back soon. Victor to 39 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: retire today.

Um we kind 42 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: of exploded on the on the scene, uh in this 43 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: in this preseason game versus Jets coming up two thousand 44 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: and ten, UM, and then you know kind of got injured, 45 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: missed that whole year's two thousand eleven. Um. You know 46 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: it's when he when he came on and um, you know, 47 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: really just had a great feel for for the offense, 48 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 1: for his routes in that slot. And he was tough 49 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: to cover, you know, running down the field and breaking 50 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: in and he had We gave him a lot of 51 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: options and uh, you know, he mastered he mastered uh 52 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: some of those concepts and and gave him a great 53 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: opportunity to get open and make make big plays for 54 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: so uh tremendous player, um and great guy and and 55 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: got to he was in the locker room a few 56 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: weeks ago. I got to talk with them and and 57 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: uh and hang out with them, and obviously wish him 58 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: all the best going forward. UM. You know, I think 59 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: he's getting into he's going to the dark side and 60 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: going into the media. So but wish him all the 61 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: best going going over there. I'm gonna say, do you 62 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: want to pre record your response to his first criticism 63 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: of you. I think he'll he'll be all right to man. 64 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: I hope, I hope, I hope similar to Sterling Shepherd 65 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: to him, Um, you know sent similar Um you know, 66 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: just in the sense of, you know this quickness, quickness 67 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: all the off the ball quick you know, getting in 68 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: and out of breaks and uh you know great, both 69 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: of them are great when they get the ball in 70 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: their hand. And that's kind of where where Victor exceled, 71 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, get the ball in his hand, making the 72 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: first guy's missing and kind of you know, throwing short 73 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: passes and making big plays at him. I think you 74 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: know Sterling has some of that same ability. Um, you know, 75 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: so it's kind of similar, similar style receivers, really big place, 76 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: um man. I mean obviously the Jets game, uh two 77 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: thousand and eleven, second, the last game of the season. 78 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: You know, a ninety nine yard are just on a 79 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: little option route, Um, you know, catching ten yards and 80 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: make the make the corner miss and and then you 81 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: know outrun the safeties for you know, a huge play 82 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: at the time and leading to us, you know, making 83 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs in the first place. And so um obviously 84 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: you know a touchdown in the Super Bowl, um, you 85 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: know over the middle. So you know there's there's too many, 86 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: uh a lot, a lot to choose for him. Um, 87 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, a bunch of a bunch of 88 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: huge place has a reputation of asking a lot of questions. 89 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: And he has said that he asked you a lot, 90 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: to the point where he thinks he probably bothers you. 91 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: But is there something that he can ask you and 92 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: glean from you in this period when he's actually not 93 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: able to practice but still staying engage. Yeah, yeah, I 94 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: mean I think it's a good way to stay engage. 95 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: Is you know, I think that obviously shows that he's 96 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: watching practice. He's watching you know, he's listening to the 97 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: game plan and so um, you know, he wants to 98 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, understand, um you know, what what his route 99 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: would be on on this concept or on this check 100 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: and this and that. So you know, it shows that 101 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: he's he is he is engaged, he is listening, he 102 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: has good questions, um, you know, so it's clear in 103 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: his mind. And and uh, I think that's that's a 104 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: great uh thing to have. I encourage all those rookies 105 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: that you know, ask questions. If you don't know, ask 106 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: that's what we're here for. You know, don't go out there, 107 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: um not knowing what your assignment is. Ask us and 108 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: and go do it right and play fast. We always 109 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: want you to do that.

Um? You know, I know, 112 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: I think, um, you know yeah, and and all all honesty. 113 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: It's you know, I look at as the third preseason 114 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: game and a chance for us to go out there 115 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: and and play an extended period and going and gets 116 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: a good defense and a good team. And so you 117 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,559 Speaker 1: want to go out there and execute well and feel 118 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: good about where you are. Eli. Cody Laddimer PMI. Early 119 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: in camp, obviously playing with pay was getting Jeff lame 120 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: with you.

Yeah? I think Cody, Uh, 123 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: since since he got here, as as you know, had 124 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: had the right mindset. His worked extremely hard. Uh. He's 125 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: been in the quarterback room, you know, drawing, you know, 126 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: drawing up plays. Was it with us as we were, 127 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, we were trying to learn the plays. He 128 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: was learning it. I think you know he wanted to 129 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: do the same thing and know what you know, where 130 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: every spot whatever, you know, route was what everybody's doing. 131 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: You didn't know where he would be on the field 132 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: and what spot, and wanted to make sure you knew 133 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: all the route combinations.
