1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: On to Dallas here start out with the injuries, So

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas will not practice today. That is part of

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: the plan making progress, hoping to get him out here

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: the next two days and see where where he where's

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: at at the end of the end of the week.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: Michael will not practice. He will not play in this game.

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: He's he's got an injury. How long that is still

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: working through that, so no roster decision has been made

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: on that. Wandell has an ankle, will lay off him today.

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: He should be good. Dexter will not be here today.

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: Congratulations to him and his wife. Went through labor and

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 1: he's with the baby and his wife. And Malik will

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: be limited with his back. It should be okay as

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: far as Dallas. A tough opening game with Philly. New

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: head coach Brian Schottenneheimer know him well, worked with him.

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: Got a lot of respect for him as a coach

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: and as a man. I thought they played well against Philly.

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: New defensive coordinator Matti Eberflus feel the same way about Matt.

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: I've had a good relationship with him working and outside

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: the building. Think he's a heck of a coach. He's

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: done a good job. You know, they did a good

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: job in the second half against Philly, held DeVante three

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: catches to sixteen one for eight. You know, Hurts did

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: a good job moving around in the pocket, did a

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: good job in the running game. He's a heck of

26
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: a football coach. And then Shornsen special teams have a

27
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: relationship with him, around him as a player to start

28
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: with their special teams, Aubrey and Turpin their point generators.

29
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to do a good job in that

30
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: area of the field or in that special teams area

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: with kickoffs, with punts, all hands on deck with Turpin,

32
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: go back and you watch him. He's a dynamic playmaker.

33
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: They're using him some on offense as well. Quick, elusive

34
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: and just go back to the kickoff returning against Washington.

35
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: It goes between his legs. He does a pure wet.

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: You know, he's a rare talent in that regard, and

37
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: he's new kickoff rules. He's going to be a challenge

38
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Aubrey sixty six. Anytime you get to midfield, it's a

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: chance for points for those guys. So special teams will

40
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: be critical offensively. I think Dak played really well his

41
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: first game, decisive. I think He's a heck of a

42
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 1: quarterback as it is, but it was accurate. I think

43
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: shot he had him in a flow, did a good

44
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: job of mixing and run pass, controlling the line of scrimmage.

45
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: Two big guards inside pickings out there. You better be

46
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: aware of him. Vertical threat. I wouldn't say had a

47
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: ton of production the first game, but had opportunities and

48
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: expecting to get more opportunities. Ferguson tight end. I think

49
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: he's good, tough cover. And again their offensive line o

50
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: the new offensive guard. They got a thick, sturdy Obviously,

51
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: Smith's been a good player for a variety of years,

52
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: so I thought they did well. They had the one

53
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: turnover after the big play down there in the red zone,

54
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: so good challenge there. And then defensively again they played

55
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: They played good defense. You know, they gave up twenty

56
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: one in the first half, then a field goal there

57
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: in the next drive, but did a good job of

58
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: stopping to run. I think they held Sakwon to three

59
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: point three sixty some yards. Again, did a good job

60
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: against the receivers. Hurts made a couple Hurts plays and

61
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: that was the game. The turnover down in the red zone,

62
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: but tough physical team. I think you know Shot, he's

63
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 1: obviously got a you know, an old man, God rest

64
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: his soul, and Marty who taught him a lot. I've

65
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: been around Marty. One of ten guys they have over

66
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: two hundred wins. I think Brian is great opportunity for him.

67
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: A lot of respect for how they played the first game,

68
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: So be a good challenge for us on the road

69
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: in Dallas, and we have to be at our best

70
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: in that game.

71
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: Coach at quarterback that you're familiar with, Jalen Hurts had

72
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: good success against their defense, randed in for two rushing touchdowns.

73
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: What are you seeing specifically in their defense that makes

74
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: the battle in the trenches, what your guys are trying

75
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: to do in the gaps and things ultimately for us

76
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: either more favorable or challenging.

77
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: Well, Hurts, you did Hurts things. They were passes, they

78
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: weren't necessarily quarterback runs. They had good coverage and he

79
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: made two really good plays on quarterback scrambles. You know

80
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: they play. I'd say they play a lot of his own defense,

81
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: usually with an extra guy in the box for the

82
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: running game. They played fast, They didn't have any turnovers,

83
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: and I know the hallmark of a coach. He reflues

84
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: defense is to create turnovers with the style of defense

85
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: that they play, and we're going to have to do

86
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: a good job of taking care of the ball. They

87
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: was pretty clean in that game. One fumbled that they

88
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: had that really was the difference in the game. But

89
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: two good inside players tough to block. Kenny's been a

90
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: good addition. He's been a good player for for the

91
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Packers for a long time, and he showed up. You know,

92
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: he's a tough guy to block in the interior part

93
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: of the field. So we're gonna have to be We're

94
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to play a good, smart, tough game to

95
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: good in situations. Because they played they played well. It

96
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: was right down to the end there as.

97
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: Well.

98
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: I think that takes everybody, takes all eleven so players, coaches.

99
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: You know, we just could keep on improving. We got

100
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: to do a good job on early downs to to

101
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: make sure that we're keeping the defense in conflict as

102
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: much as we can.

103
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 3: With with Andrew, now, is it just about trying to

104
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: find the right combination for him in the given week

105
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: to get him ready physically, to see how he's responding

106
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: because last week obvious had a different combination of Wednesday off, Thursday, Yeah,

107
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 3: practice Friday.

108
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: Well, I think the trainers have you know, they have

109
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: the plan of how we're rehabing Andrew, and today is

110
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: one of these days they're going to run them and

111
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,679
Speaker 1: do some things. I know he feels better. He felt

112
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: better last week. He feels better this week than he

113
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: did the week before. We'll see where he's at. I

114
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: don't want to speak one thing and then, but he's

115
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: he's making good progress. You know, we'll see where he's

116
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: at after Friday. But this was just part of the

117
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: rehab plan relative to this Wednesday workday.

118
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: You said with you know, Jackson turn be QB too.

119
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 4: There's been so much talk about it when to be

120
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 4: ready to play? Obviously you put him in that role.

121
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: He's ready to play. Rusk gets turned in the first play.

122
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 4: So how did you determine that he is ready for

123
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 4: that role?

124
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Well, he had a good he had a good camp, Dan,

125
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: he had a good preseason. Again, for young quarterbacks, you're

126
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: going to see a variety of things when you first

127
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: start playing that you need to learn from. But again,

128
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: everything every kind of checkpoint we've had for him in

129
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: his process, albeit only a couple months with us. Uh,

130
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: he's he's done a good job with so we'll continue

131
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: to work with him do the things we need to do.

132
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's a tireless worker, i'd say in

133
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: the classroom and then outside too. You know, he's going

134
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: through tons of plays, both mentally and then physically throughout

135
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: practice and after practice quarterback. He'll be our number two quarterback.

136
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: Was there anything that he took away from Sunday?

137
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 4: Obviously he didn't play, but just the experience and being

138
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 4: there and being ready to did you, I mean, was

139
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: that a checkpoint for you?

140
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: Well, he's he's the first regular season game to be

141
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: part of, so he's got to he's got to be ready.

142
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: He's got to see the game through the quarterback size

143
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: on the sideline. Uh, he's got to be involved in

144
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: the communication. Again, it's just each day we're trying to

145
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: groom him and when he has to play, then he's

146
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: be ready to play. But as a young quarterback, there's

147
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: so many different things that you're gonna have to go

148
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: through through there. You know there'll be ups and downs,

149
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: But in terms of the process that you know we're

150
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: trying to we're doing with him each day, he does

151
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: a little bit better meetings, protections, show team. So we'll

152
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: continue to do that, Brian.

153
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 5: The vast majority of analytical sites aren't particularly kind to

154
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 5: John Michael.

155
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: Kind of painting a picture of a player that's.

156
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: Really been struggling in the last couple of years.

157
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 5: What do you see that gives you the confidence in

158
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 5: him that maybe strays from what some of those metrics

159
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 5: may may indicate.

160
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: John Michael is tough, he's smart, he does a good

161
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: job of getting everything set up for the offensive lineman,

162
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: and I think he's a strong player. He's tough, he's

163
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: a finisher, and I think he's done a nice job

164
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: for us. Are there plays that he wishes he had backshirt?

165
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: Just like every player, just like every coach. But I

166
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: have confidence in John Michael as our center. One more time,

167
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: Darius filled in.

168
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: For Micah when when he went down, So I'm curious

169
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: just if he is called on to fill that role.

170
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: How much is starting those games last year help him

171
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 3: be prepared for maybe a bitter role.

172
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: That'd be a good question for Darius. Again, he's a

173
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: smart player for us. He's played a number of spots

174
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: I would say, intelligent player, and you know, that's that's

175
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: the job of quote unquote backup is to be ready

176
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: to go when your numbers called. And he's done a

177
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: nice job for us in that regard with him a leak.

178
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 5: How much is this something that you're gonna have to

179
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 5: manage moving forward? Is going to be like a regular

180
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 5: thing of like, you know, giving him rest on Wednesdays

181
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 5: or Fridays or whatever it may be.

182
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: Well, he'll be out there practicing. Maybe we'll pull back

183
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: a couple of reps here there, but he'll be in

184
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: full pads and he'll be practicing. I think it's you know,

185
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: I can't give you that answer, Jordana. We'll see where

186
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: he is after, you know, after a Wednesday practice or

187
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: after a game, and then we'll do what we think

188
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: is best for for Milik. If, for a well, how

189
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: do you feel after the game? That would be a

190
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: good question for for Malik. He's out here, he's out

191
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: he's out here practicing, so it feels good enough to practice.

192
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: But again, it's relative to the reps and what we

193
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: need to do. We'll do what we think is best

194
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: for him and for us. Russ seen.

195
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: Russ has seen pretty much everything in the league so

196
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: far this is your first.

197
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: Game with him, How do you think.

198
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 3: He handled with the pressure, you know, so as keeping

199
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: his eyes down the field and things like that.

200
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I'm not gonna get too much into last week.

201
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: We're moving on to this week. We go through our

202
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: tape on Monday, we make our corrections in all facets,

203
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: and I expect him to come out here and have

204
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: a good week. Sorry, Charlotte, go ahead with Jackson.

205
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 2: How much are you sitting in kind of watching the

206
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: film with him, especially when he's not playing, like just

207
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: kind of pointing through things.

208
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. I meet with him every week and we go

209
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: through a number of plays that he runs on the

210
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: show team, and there's a lot of good learning examples

211
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: from that. You try to play that like a game

212
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: the best you can, with your timing, with your rhythm,

213
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: with your eye control, with your mechanics, with when to

214
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: take off, when not to take off. You treat those

215
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: show team reps, if you will, like game reps. And

216
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: then when you're standing behind the offense when they're going

217
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: he's taking game reps on every play along with Jamis,

218
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: and they're back there ten yards going through the mechanics, motions,

219
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: shift protection, calls, re identifications. They're playing the game, you know,

220
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: not with the ten other guys, but they're playing it

221
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: behind the huddle and taking advantage of every opportunity they can. Yeah,

222
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: he gets show team if we mix them in once

223
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: in a while on the you know, the first unit,

224
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: we mix them in, But he spends a lot of

225
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: time going through the script and going through the plays

226
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: and keeping guys after practice and working through an entire

227
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: script and throwing live balls. You know, that's just a plan.

228
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: We have one years Giants one in Dallas obviously you

229
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: know here for all that.

230
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 4: But is there anything particularly about that place that makes

231
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 4: it such a difficult place to play?

232
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say we're focused on this year with the

233
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: guys that we have to go out there and play

234
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: as well as we can. Part like your development plan,

235
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: just doing it for Yeah, we're doing it because we

236
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: think it's best for for our football team. I wouldn't

237
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: say it's it's it's a lot, Charlotte. It was one

238
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: or two reps last week, but he's taking every rep behind.

239
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: But he stays out here, I would say, after practice

240
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: and goes through entire scripts and plays with the entire

241
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: unit along with Jamis. So those one reps kind of

242
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: you did last year with the other guys with your back. Yeah,

243
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: I think it changes. I mean again it was it

244
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: was a couple of plays here there. It might have

245
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: only been one last week. But whether it's going to

246
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: walk through, whether it's at practice, we do what we

247
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: think is best. Go ahead, It's okay.

248
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: Russ talks a lot about leadership and being right between

249
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: the ears. What stood out to you after facing some

250
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: early adversity about his leadership so far.

251
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's been through a variety of situations

252
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: in his career, as a lot of the guys that

253
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: we brought on. So you go through again, you make

254
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: the corrections, whatever we can do better collectively, and focus

255
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: on this week. And that's where his mind's at.
