0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:24.799
<v Speaker 1>Have you have you had any um, I mean obviously

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>practice super voluntary, but um have do you expect what

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.319
<v Speaker 1>do you expect the numbers to be? Like? Uh? And

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>have have you gotten in? Numbers? Are gonna be great? Uh? Really?

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>All but two guys. Uh so you know Sprowls and

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Michael Benner are the only two really that that that

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>aren't here. But we've communicated with them. We'll stay in

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>touch with them and and um, you know, um sound

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>like a broken record, but it is a voluntary program,

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you know program and uh, two guys that I don't

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.279
<v Speaker 1>um have a lot of concern as far as you know,

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>their their ability to help us, you know, win games

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>because they're veteran players and they know how to get

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>themselves ready to go with the veterans who are here.

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>Do you have to manage them a little bit this

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>spring based on the short layout? Yeah, I mean we'll

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>do our best to to manage guys. Um, you know,

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>we have a we have a list of of injured

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>players and guys that that we want to make sure

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>we you know, we kind of um rest during during

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>this time. UM. You know, you got to understand that

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>we're you know, we're a month later. Um and and

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>so our full recovery time has been less. So that's

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>something you got to understand. And so from that standpoint,

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 1>I've got to do my job and and and be

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 1>smart with uh, how we handle some of our veteran players.

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>When do you expect to have Brandon Graham back? And uh,

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, what what did he have done to well?

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that we I mean obviously had had his

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>ankle cleaned out. You know, I'm I'm no medical experts

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>that don't quote me on that one, but um, you know, listen,

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>he's a he's another one that uh you know, we uh,

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>we just gotta we gotta manage. Obviously, when you see him,

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>he'll you know, he's in the cast. So we can't

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>do much with him right now and hopefully we get

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>him back, you know before before too long. He almost

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>said you were good to be a starting, talable player

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>in that basic well, I think, uh, definitely in the mix. Um.

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>You know what he did towards the end of last

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.920
<v Speaker 1>season and had a chance to get in that that

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>last game there with Dallas. Um really I think boosted

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>his confidence going into this offseason. Now that he's had

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.920
<v Speaker 1>a full off season now worth uh with coach onlin

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and and Schwartz's defense. So he's definitely gonna be in

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the mix, um, and it's gonna be it's gonna be

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>good for him and a lot of our young players.

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, the next ten practices, you can tell how's

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Carson feeling that last fair way to put him up

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>his place in both the team, the locker room and

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>all that kind of stuff. And just because the circumstances

0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 1>he's a little bit on the outside of the game

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>from last year. How does that change things now? Well,

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, listen, I think I think with any injury,

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you might be on the outside looking him.

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>But but he's he's not that type of guy. He's

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>right in the mix. He's in that quarterback room, he's

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>in the offensive room. Uh, he's in my office. We're talking.

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>We're still talking about you know, plays and situations and um.

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>So he's very much involved. UM, just not you know,

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>just not going through the actual practice at this time. So, UM,

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>with all the injured players, I want to make sure

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>that they're out there with their guys, they're communicating. They're

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>veteran players obviously, so they can they can help some

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>of the younger guys and uh, be a part of

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the be a part of the football team. But UM, yeah,

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>he's still he's still leading the team and and and

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>doing everything that that he can. At this time last year,

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Doug third down in the red zone. How important was

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>this time of year? And Willaye mcgrown worked for that improvement.

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I think he's extremely important. Hum, and I think it

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>did help us by by uh, you know, situationally, me

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>setting up practices designed to hit those specific areas. And

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>those are things that we're going to continue to do

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>throughout you know, this whole Ota process now these next

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>few weeks. So UM, exposing our guys to those situations

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>obviously helps um, you know, offensively, defensively, plays defenses, UM,

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 1>things of that nature. As coordinators, as play callers, UM

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.479
<v Speaker 1>work just working on that and coming up with the best,

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the best plan going forward. But definitely helped us. You know,

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>going into camp and obviously the season. So Michael Bennett,

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.919
<v Speaker 1>it's his absence related at all to the legal stuff

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>or what you're you're out at all again voluntary program,

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 1>so nothing nothing about that at all, new to the

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>to the system. I mean, you know, what are your

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.160
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on on him being able to act on me

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>given that he's missing some time earlier. I really don't

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 1>have any concern, you know, going forward with him, you know,

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>acclimating himself to the defense. I mean it's you know,

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you've been around long enough to understand Jim style and

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 1>what we teach and and it fits his strength and

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>has roll off the ball, you know as a D lineman.

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>So um, it's just a matter of getting him in

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>here and getting around his teammates. There's a whole last

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>such of these voluntary workouts. There's been a lot of

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about keeping the culture the same. How was that

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>still doing some of the new guys? Well, you know,

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's really about the communication, you know, for

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>me when when I stand up here and address the

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>team every morning and then and then it's the veteran

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>players that were here a year ago and really have

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>been with me the last two years. Um, you know,

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>just bringing them along and and them fitting into what

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>we're doing. And that's the thing is being consistent with that,

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, with the messaging, with the way we uh

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, handle our business when we're in the when

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>we're in the building. Um, and then the ownership of

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>putting it back on the players, the veteran players, and

0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and and letting them, letting them control the environment a

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit. And um, you know obviously starts with me.

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>But but I, but I do rely on the players

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit to keep that culture going. So many

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>guys who are recovering from injuries and whatnot, Like how

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>important I mean, Zach mentioned Sidney Jones, Like how important

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.119
<v Speaker 1>are these ots for a lot of your young guys

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>such as Sydney. Um, you know, the guys you drafted

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>this past you know, this past month. There everything we're going,

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm excited really going forward these next next

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>few weeks to see some of our younger players, Guys

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>that were on our practice squad you know a year ago,

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Guys that were maybe roll or situational players a year ago.

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>To to our draft picks, to our undrafted free agents,

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>to the new free agents on our team. I mean,

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to watch them. Um, you know again practice,

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>We've we've got some young talented guys that we need

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to we need to find out, we need to get

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>some answers on some players and this is the time

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:58.239
<v Speaker 1>to do that. Last pressor that Parson hasn't been fared

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to do anything, what did you mean exactly by that?

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Because he's been you know, we've seen video into knowing

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff. All that you're seeing is part

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>of his rehab. So it's part of it's part of

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>his process of of getting getting back, you know. So

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>what you're seeing is is is all part of his

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>process and his rehab process. Um, you know, each day

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and a change, it changes each day based on what

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, our our medical staff and doctors want him

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>to do and and um. But but he you know,

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>with with injuries like that, obviously you know, not being

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 1>clear to to participate in a practice setting, you know

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>right now. But at the same time, he can he

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>can maintain that uh, that rehab conditioning part to be

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>here for any of the OTAs. Uh I do, I do. UM,

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not I'm not again, I'm not concerned, but

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I do expect him here? Yes, right, you guys had

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>a close relationship. You got COEs right of course, right, Yeah,

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.559
<v Speaker 1>you know you had the meetings before games and things

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>like that. Now you have might grow here this point

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>in time. You know, how are you guys come along

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>with that relationship and how important is this time time

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Frank for him to lay that foundation to replace. Yeah,

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>our relationship Mike and I mean it's it's really it's

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>really a good one. Obviously started last year but carried

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>over to this offseason and what we did through our

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 1>scheme evaluation, um, you know, going back through our offense,

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>and and he and I am meeting, you know on

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>several occasions. Um, just just to kind of go through

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>everything in my expectation obviously of him and and what

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>he's what he what he's going to bring to the table.

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>And you know, he worked closely with Frank, so he

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>he saw firsthand exactly how Frank and I interacted and

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>things we did. So I'm encouraged by by where he's

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>at and what he's doing is doing an outstanding job

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>right now. And and uh, you know the key is

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>just he and I staying um, having that open dialogue

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and that open communication. Uh, you know, much like Frank

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and I had. And that's something that uh, you know,

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 1>if he has questions or if I have questions, we

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.200
<v Speaker 1>we we bounced a lot of stuff off each other

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and and ask a lot of questions and and uh,

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that's that's what you got to have in order in

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 1>order for this to work so much. This is the

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>first time you've had the whole group together, veterans, rookies.

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any big message to them at this coin?

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Was that something that comes later in office? It comes

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later, you know. This is this is

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 1>a time to to really, um, kind of get back

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>into football a little bit, to see again the young

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:29.559
<v Speaker 1>the young talent that you have developed those guys, Um,

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, the the you know. The thing is with

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>with some of your veteran players, you know what you got.

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.679
<v Speaker 1>You know with them, you don't necessarily need to see

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>a ton of a ton of work out of those guys.

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, UM, you want just enough

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.680
<v Speaker 1>so that when they get come back for training camp,

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:50.200
<v Speaker 1>they're they're also ready to go with the trip to

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.080
<v Speaker 1>the White House. If you talk to the players or

0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the team or any individuals the trip feeling UM, well,

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>right now, obviously June fifth is the day we're going

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>to go and and you know, excited to be going, Um,

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>be honored as world champions. You know, I think it's

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>a it's a it's a great honor. Um. We're still

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>working through some logistics right now, so we don't have

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>all the details of the day, but but excited to

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 1>be going. Okay, I mean that up to them and

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 1>you leave that it's an individual basis. Um, you know,

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>it's it's one of those things that uh again we're

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>we're working through a ton of things, but but at

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the same time we understand that it's an individual, individual decision.

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>You want to bring UM, you know if if it

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>if it works out, would love to have him. His

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.960
<v Speaker 1>veteran leadership, uh brings a brings a you know, a

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>level of not only competition, but depth to the to

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the safety room. So if it works out, be great.

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>So someone like Nelson agl Are thrive in the spring

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and you had an injury to Jordan Matthew Chat obviously

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of injuries here. What's the message to

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>players who are maybe a little lower in the depth

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>chart in terms of the importance of this period well, again,

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>it's it's kind of their in their their behalf. It

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of. Um. It benefits some of the younger players

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 1>because of you know, some of the some of the

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.560
<v Speaker 1>injuries and some of the things we're gonna do with

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>managing players where now this time of year, they're gonna

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>get a ton of a ton of practice reps you know,

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>on the next next few weeks. So my message to

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 1>them is just just to you know, come to work

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 1>every day, ready to ready to go, and be prepared. Um.

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 1>It'll be a big, great opportunity for them. Players last

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 1>year who had chips on their shoulders and they used

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>it as a motivation. Now that they're coming back after

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.319
<v Speaker 1>winning a Super Bowl, how do you kind of manufacture

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>that Well, you know, we also have a couple of

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 1>players with chips on their shoulders because they weren't in

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>that final game, you know. Uh, And that's a motivating

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>factor and only for them, but but it can feed

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.199
<v Speaker 1>to the rest of the football team. Talking about the

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Jason Peters, that Carson Wentz, that Chris Maragos as those guys,

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Darren Sprowles who you know sat on the sideline with

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 1>me and watched that game. So there's motivation right there, So, um,

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, and that, uh, that's gonna fuel I believe

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>some of the emotion as we as we get closer

0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to training camp and towards the regular season. So you know,

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to lean on that. I want to embrace

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that and and um, you know those guys are going

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to bring a level of energy and excitement to the

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:20.319
<v Speaker 1>rest of the teams throughout the season last year. Are

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Are you going to manage his rest throughout these next

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>few weeks to see what meats Updill? I'm you know,

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. I'm gonna manage him, but not because the elbow.

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>You know. Um again, I do want to see Nate.

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to see see him, you know, a little

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 1>bit more, a little more extensively with the offense. So

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>um yeah, well, I'll make sure that that Nick gets

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>just enough work to make sure he's ready to go

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:44.600
<v Speaker 1>for camp. But at the same time, I want to

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:48.800
