Speaker 4: yesterday laying on his shoulder and he has to get

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 4: rotator cuff surgery. So yeah, that was I mean, we

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: all know. And he towards ACL and Detroit week one

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 4: on that turf took about a year and have to

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 4: get back from it and got his achilles just on

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 4: air last year in the field, and he was practicing

23
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 4: his butt off all week.

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: We were gonna play him a lot in this game.

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: He's been awesome here this last month, and he jumped

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 4: up for a ball and just came down on his

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: shoulder in an awkward position. So it was and it happens

28
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 4: to a lot of guys, so it was just a

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 4: you know, it's crushing for him, but it's also as

30
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 4: a shoulder injury. It wasn't like a mee or a leg,

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 4: but you do have to get surgery for that stuff.

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 4: So he found that out this morning.

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 5: Was there an indication when he went down that it

34
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 5: was potentially serious.

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 4: Or yeah, cause it looked it looked like it was.

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 4: So we all just held her breath and hope. But

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 4: he popped up so fast cause he was hoping it

38
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 4: won in and kind of moved his arm and then

39
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 4: he just kept practicing and going, and so he just

40
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: assumed that, alright, maybe it's just hurt him a little bit,

41
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: but it's not too bad of an injury. He looked

42
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: great in practice, but he was holding his arm a

43
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: little bit, and we said we might need.

44
00:01:59,080 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: To go get a MRI.

45
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 4: He was hoping not to, so he's like, no, I

46
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: think I'm good, and he slept on. It came in

47
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: this morning and it was still hurting, so we got

48
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 4: the MRI and showed he had a terror and needed surgery.

49
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 5: So what kind of become gy time is that?

50
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: I think they usually say I think they brands gonna

51
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 4: home meet everything. But I think they usually say six months.

52
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 4: But I think it's usually like four or five.

53
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: So his spirits were real good out.

54
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: No, I mean I I talk, I mean we were.

55
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 4: We let him know right and so we talked to

56
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: him right when it happened. So me handles it like

57
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: he does everything. I'm very like a man, and but

58
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I know, I know how it is. He's

59
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 4: gonna be pretty down for a little bit. And uh,

60
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 4: I hope he hangs around here cause we all love

61
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: him around here. I think that could help him. And

62
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 4: this will pass like that like it always does. And

63
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 4: he had a long road to get back to this point.

64
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 4: And I just told him, I can't believe.

65
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: How good he's looked.

66
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: Then I think it would ever be possible to come

67
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: back from what he has, which all the knees and

68
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 4: the achilles and everything, and and he did, and.

69
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: He looked great in Houston. He looked great here.

70
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 4: It's a perfect opportunity for to play this week, just

71
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: so we could play a lot and see how he

72
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: was going into the playoffs and you got a random

73
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: shoulder entry, and just try to put in perspective for him.

74
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: It's not like you got your knee again, and it's

75
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 4: not like you got your achilles or anything that's something

76
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: you can't come back from.

77
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's stuff on his mind right now.

78
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: Have you made a final decision about whether Trent Williams

79
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: were playing his game?

80
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: Ah?

81
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's playing. Yeah.

82
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: It it seems like you have your inactives already.

83
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: Shit, yep, yeah we got Yeah, we got seven guys

84
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: that Brock's the only one that could play who isn't

85
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: and he can be up in an emergency, But those

86
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: are seven guys.

87
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Got two guys up off practice.

88
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: Squad, and uh, it's it is gonna be a challenge

89
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: to some of those Guys's not like I I want

90
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: turning a number of people out there for a while.

91
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: So we gotta balance it out, right, But those guys

92
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: gotta get their minds right ready to play through protocol.

93
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: Who's that as through a protocol analysis and decision?

94
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: No, he's got another step, Yeah, Yore has.

95
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: One month, well at least one month.

96
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: No, go ahead, you're your practice squad, sixteen guys, a

97
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 3: lot of veteran guys. I know you you always reward

98
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: them on a Friday, but what do you just see

99
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: from the level of commendment of how those guys practice

100
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: And even going back a couple of weeks ago, Curtis Robinson,

101
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: who could have left but decided to stay here. What

102
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: does that mean to you? And how much do they

103
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: kind of share in the successes of.

104
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: The team so much.

105
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 4: I hate even the title of practice squad because it's

106
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 4: it sounds like you're just like a walk on or something,

107
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 4: and it's couldn't be any more the opposite.

108
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, practice.

109
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 4: Squads have that title because they're not the fifty three

110
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 4: man roster and we get two up and we have

111
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 4: to cut someone to not do that. But there's been

112
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: a part of this team, is anyone. That's why they

113
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: travel with us, that's why they're on the field, that's

114
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 4: why they do everything. We just we only can get

115
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 4: two of them up on game day. But that's what

116
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 4: If you don't have the right people on practice squad,

117
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 4: it's really tough to be successful throughout the year. You

118
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: need people on practice squad to develop them because there's

119
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: nowhere else to develop people. But you also need people

120
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 4: on practice squad are ready to play because in this

121
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: league there's very rarely threes and people get injured a lot.

122
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 4: And you put some practice, you put some guys you're

123
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 4: just trying to develop in these situations, and that's too

124
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 4: much to put on those guys. So being able to

125
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: mix out with vets and rookies, it's those are guys

126
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 4: are a huge part of our team.

127
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: You have a guy like Robinson who has a chance,

128
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 3: do you try to convince him or is that.

129
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: Just that's on you bound No, you always want to

130
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 4: convince guys to stay, but you also you got to

131
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 4: be able to for me to sell anything, it's got

132
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 4: to be right. That's why I would probably be horrible

133
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 4: at recruiting. Unless it was a great situation. I think

134
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 4: I'd be good at it. But now those guys, I mean,

135
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 4: it depends what these guys' goals are. I mean, sometimes

136
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: you got to get in a cured season for Turn's

137
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: purposes and stuff like that, which you got to be

138
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: on the fifty three, so that's a big deal. But

139
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 4: it's also it's you try to talk to young guys.

140
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 4: It's just if that's your only goal. I mean, that's

141
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: that's not a great goal. Like your goal should be

142
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 4: to make it in this league, and so you want

143
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: to be places where you can kind of hide a

144
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 4: little bit till you're ready if that's going to happen.

145
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: So that's sometimes what I sell to people. And then

146
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 4: when you hear him I just read Curtis's quote. I

147
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 4: didn't know about that. I never had to talk to

148
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: Curtis because he decided on his own like I didn't.

149
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: We didn't talk to him at all. And for a

150
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 4: guy like that, it shows he's been around here for

151
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 4: a little bit. He's been awesome for us. He's been

152
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 4: on our team before, which he's always on our team,

153
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 4: but he's been on the fifty three too, And for

154
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: him to say that quote that he did just the

155
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 4: reasons he wants to stay.

156
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: That stuff we say a lot on this team right now.

157
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: Everybody has Everyone cares about themselves and their family. I mean,

158
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: you always put that first, usually unless you're really abnormal.

159
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 4: You got Pro Bowls and all that stuff coming out.

160
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 4: But like when you're going runs like this and you're

161
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 4: in these type of situations, it's just so much more

162
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 4: about everybody else than one person. And then when you

163
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 4: have guys like Curtis who feel that way who aren't

164
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 4: exactly on the fifty three.

165
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: It just shows you that he's an awesome dude.

166
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: And for him to recognize the group he's around real

167
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: cool too.

168
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 5: He decided on on Colton mcgimmit's to be a right

169
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: tackle without pursuing a free agent. As you know, a

170
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 5: three sack first game everybody talked about, but you wanted

171
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 5: to play more snaps than anybody on your team is

172
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 5: what you expected, more than what you expected.

173
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: How would you assess him?

174
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: I mean, it's what we expected. I mean he's played

175
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 4: like a really good right tackle. And if we didn't

176
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 4: think he was going to be a really good right tackle,

177
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: we would have gone and tried to guess someone we

178
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 4: thought would be a really good right tackle. He's really

179
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: earned our trust here. When he got to play last

180
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: year when Mike was down, we thought he played at

181
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 4: a very high level. And when you get to see

182
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: guys do that in practice and then carried over to

183
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 4: the field, it doesn't make the guests work that hard.

184
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: And that's how it was with brock Purty year before.

185
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 4: I mean, there's nothing you need to see. You sawid

186
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 4: all or they made it the right stuff. Can they

187
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: continue to do it? And that stuff's huge. I know

188
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 4: that first game. I mean, you get sacks and that's

189
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 4: going to be what jumps out. But I mean half

190
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: of those were my fault. I mean, I can't call

191
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 4: some of those passes and put him on TJ. Watt

192
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: at that time in the game. But Colton won't ever

193
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: say that. Colton battles and you don't worry about any

194
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 4: of that stuff. And I think he's become one of

195
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 4: the more confident players on our team, and I think

196
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 4: it shows over in the games.

197
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: All right, thanks guys,
