<v Speaker 1>this is a great, great opportunity for them as well. Um.

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:25.799
<v Speaker 1>The other thing I'll give you, give you an injury

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>report real quick on who's on who's out for this game? Okay,

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>who's who's out? So obviously Aaron Grimes, Jordan Matthews, Alex McCalister,

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Sharp, Joe Walker Carson is out he will travel,

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>and then Mike Martin is out as well. And then

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the uh, the newest one on the list is Isaac

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:46.599
<v Speaker 1>will be out for this game. He has a strained

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>uh a peck muscle that is day to day, and

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>so we feel best best for his interest to to

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>keep him out of this football game. Let you do it?

0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.319
<v Speaker 1>How do you do it? Who asked the question? Oh

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>you did? Okay? How did it? Just? In practice two

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>days ago? Um felt it a little strain, uh blocking

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>and so we we we evaluated him and just decided

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.479
<v Speaker 1>to keep him out of this game. So left guard

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.119
<v Speaker 1>now is wiz Newski. Yep, Whizz will go. Barbara will

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>be at the right tackle spot again. Yeah. In terms

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>of the rotation out deep into the game, will Sam Redding. Yeah.

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to see the starters come out of the

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>dressing room, you know. I I talked to them about

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>three fold quarters um and and want them to feel

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>that that that intensity coming out of the dressing room.

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Second half. So so at least at least a series

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe two in the third quarter, depending how the game

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>is going. We're happening to uh strain Calf, Yeah, strang Calf.

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>He again, he's day to day and uh keeping him

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>out of this game. That happened two days ago as well,

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the same day that Isaac got interested. Ray Johnson did

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Non did today. He was out here today. He actually

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>went in just just with his low back, you know,

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>still evaluating that, but but he he is up for

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>this game. So how much people greed back in the play.

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, we've we've put a couple of plays in

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>for him this week, expanded his role obviously from from

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a week ago. Uh, a full week of practice. He's

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 1>comfortable with what we're doing with him. So I can't

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 1>tell you how many number of snaps he'll get, but

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>he'll definitely play and he'll play with the first group.

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Does you know he's looking he's looking good. Yeah, he's

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.679
<v Speaker 1>looking good. You know again, it's uh, the terminology is

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different. You know, we're not moving him around. Uh,

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>So he's lining up in one spot, one position, which

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>is good for him right now. Um, but he but

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>he's playing fast and that's that's what we ask him

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 1>to do. And he's being decisive with his routes um

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and and then you know, obviously in the block, he's

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>such a big, big body that they're just covering guys

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>up in the run game. Be a big benefit for

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>us as well. Jason Peters doun since coming back from

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the quad and you guys kind of selectively choosing, he's done.

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>He's done really well, really well. He's one of the

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>guys that you know, you you just gotta kind of

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>almost kind of gotta back him down from time to time.

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>So he wants to take every rep and he wants

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>to be out there with the guys. And uh, since

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>coming back from that that early injury, he's had no

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 1>no issues, no problems and and uh he's healthy and

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>then ready to go for only for this game, but

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>for the regular season. It's a short week necessary where

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Carson wentz what is he need to practice play that

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>point this season? You know, It's it's interesting because next

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>week we only got really two days of practice, and

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>and uh, we'll see, we'll see, We'll evaluate him through

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the weekend, you know, take him on this trip and

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>work him out a little bit, you know, when we

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.839
<v Speaker 1>get get to Indy and and then again next next

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Monday and Tuesday, so you know, we gotta at least

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>get a day's you know, a day's work with him

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>in order for for him to go, you know, in

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the game next Thursday. Johshon Norman's comments about Sam Bradford

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>that he's not he's not the top twenty quarterback and

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>he can't wait to play him twice a year, Listen,

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't get into that. You know, I'm not gonna

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>get into it. I'm not gonna not going to comment

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>on it. Um. I think Sam Bradford is a is

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>a great quarterback. He's doing everything we've asked him to do,

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, I'll just leave it at that. I'm sure,

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>he'll probably see it somewhere. I'm not going to point

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>it out to him, though. Is that a shot at

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>like the organization too, because you guys have said that,

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, Sam is a good really good quarterbaan Yet

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I listen, I don't, I don't know.

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I see what I see. What's happening, you know around them,

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, with with what he's been saying here lately.

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>And again, I'm he's a great player. Listen, he's a

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.720
<v Speaker 1>great player. And Washington got a great player and we're

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>just happy to you know, play him twice a year

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and listen, just see what happens. So Gear's top three

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>running backs right now, or or a guy that's averaged

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.840
<v Speaker 1>nine carries a game the last two years, another guy

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>that you're probably gonna use more as a receiver being

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 1>a runner, and another guy we just got a twenty

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>eight or thirty four career carries. Are you okay with

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>your running back group right now? I am? I am um.

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I just go back to our days in Kansas City

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>when you know, we had Jamal Charles there and we

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of limited him throughout camp and his touches through

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 1>the regular season. He was a very explosive guy for us.

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:09.919
<v Speaker 1>And at the same time, we took a couple of

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>young players and you know, they got they got the

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>majority of the work after week six. So um, I

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>like we're at with the running running back position. Um,

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, we'll see as as it goes.

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's hard to it's hard to say

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>that one guy is going to get more touches than

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the other because I think they're all dynamic in their

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>own unique way. Saturday, he will get he will get

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 1>a good look. This is his first opportunity to play,

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 1>and so we want to make sure that he's he's

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. So we want to uh, we're gonna

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 1>be smart with it at the same time, but definitely

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 1>want to see him some gets him work in that

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:50.480
<v Speaker 1>first half. We want to see starting offense on Saturday,

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be comfortable regular you know, you definitely

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 1>want to see you want to see points, you know,

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>number one, you want to see execution. We got to

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>eliminate the penalties you know from last week. That's that

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of hurt us there at the end of the half,

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>even though we got the three. Uh, it's sort of

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>stimy that drive before you know, before that that one,

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 1>so execution. Um, this has been the first time we've

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>we've practiced the starters all three days, um with with

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>sort of an inn season type mentality. So, uh, the

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 1>mistakes should be at a minimum. The guys will be

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 1>ready to go, and and you just want to see that, uh,

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>that cohesiveness with the offensive line, Um, Sam lead the

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>way and and then and then you know obviously score

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>touchdown receiver. Well it it's it's it's hard, you know.

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, any time a good player is not not

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>in your offense or defensive structure, it's it's difficult because

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you're working on some timing things and different routes and

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>combinations you know, during the course of the week. But

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>these guys have played together now the last uh you know,

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 1>last year and and and really have sort of have

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>a good understanding with one another. So um, you know,

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>when we get to that regular seas in game, they

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>will get a lot of a lot of work during

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that first week, you know, and try to catch themselves up.

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>So I like they keep four tight ends. Is that's

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the case? If it is, and I was crystal, yeah,

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, and the fourth one for us has kind

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>of been in that fullback position. Um, and he's looking

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>looked looked well. You know, he's looked well that Um,

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's really he's really come on these last

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks. He's he's it's a new position really

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>back there for him. And he's a tall guy. He's

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>he's a lanky guy with length, so you know, for him,

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a matter of keeping his pad level down, bending

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>at the knees and the waist and and uh and

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>maintaining that leverage. And he's done. He's done a good

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>job here in the last week we are we're going

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>to see more of that, and a lot of it

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of it is game plan specific um,

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>based on what the defense presents throughout the course of

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the week. You know, some some teams are will scheme

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 1>our regular personnel differently, but uh uh, it'll fluctuate a

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:57.119
<v Speaker 1>week to week. Thesive looks like the one in the opener.

0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 1>They but we will only really have one to start together.

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean concern a little bit. Well, I again, I

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>lean I lean back on the fact that we've got

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>some veteran guys there. You know, Kelsey does a great

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>job keeping those guys together. Really, all those guys, you know, um,

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 1>they've they've played a lot of snaps. Maybe not a

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of snaps together, but they've played a lot of

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.119
<v Speaker 1>snaps in the National Football League. You know, Brandon Brooks

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 1>in Houston, and of course JP Kelsey and and and

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Barbarie there at right tackle. And you know Isaac could

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>be the obviously the one that that um there is

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the new the newbie in the group. But I think

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 1>they've jailed really well. I mean they've come together, and um,

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I go back to our again. I leaned back to

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>our you know days in Kansas City where we lost

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, we lost Jeff Allen for the season and

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and had to plug in guys and love Donald Stevenson around.

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>So you know, it can be done. It can be done.

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 1>You keep your scheme simple for him, allow him to

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 1>play fast and and uh get as many reps during

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the week as you can. Which the week one starter

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>CM Luke was news. He can't win it with the

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>way he plays. I mean, I'm not saying you can't

0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>win it, but I'm saying right now, I mean I'm

0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>not going to let an injury, you know, Uh, keep

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Isaac out of the out of the starting rotation. Frank

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.559
<v Speaker 1>was to say, touch our yesterday to about feet of

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff in the real great players. How far is he

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.679
<v Speaker 1>away or for a number one in terms of assimilating

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>every day? Yeah, I mean he's not. You know, he's not.

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>He's not where you want him to be. Obviously with

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the with the terminology of the offense. That's why we're

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna We're gonna keep it very simple and keep it

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:29.559
<v Speaker 1>to one position for him, you know as a receiver. Um,

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, put a little package together, two, three, four

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:33.959
<v Speaker 1>plays and just just let him go play. And then

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and then as he understands that we can, we can

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.319
<v Speaker 1>expand we can expand the role because he's coming in

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.559
<v Speaker 1>basically right here at the end of camp, trying to

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 1>learn a system. So I've been there as even as

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>a player, you know, in ninety and really in two

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>thousand when I left here and went to Cleveland, it

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>was a totally new system that you're trying to learn. So, um,

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you keep it small, you keep it simple, and allow

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>him to use his skill set. This is three games

0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.959
<v Speaker 1>that Michael Martin won't play. Is there enough of an evaluation? Yeah,

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 1>there there is, there is And again he's a veteran

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>guy that that understands, you know, how to play, how

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>to get himself ready to play. He's also in the

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.839
<v Speaker 1>position where you know, you're probably not going to lean

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>on him for uh, you know, more than fifteen twenty

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty five snaps a game, and and and that's what

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 1>you want out of him, and and just getting him

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>getting him to the gate on Sundays is obviously where

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you want to be and what you want to do.

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, we've we've seen enough and and he's done

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.680
<v Speaker 1>enough in his his past to to you know, uh,

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>for us as coaches to feel comfortable with that. Questions

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the team running two better receivers on the one year

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Pruven Deals and Chris Gibbons and rut and Randol, have

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.599
<v Speaker 1>they've proven anything to you so far? Well, both of

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 1>them have really really have come on. I mean, you know,

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>I think I think you know, with Chris's skill set, Um,

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, got the speed guy. He's done a nice

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>job catching the ball this week, because all of them

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>have done. Um Rubens the kind of the veteran, the

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:58.199
<v Speaker 1>savvy guy, the smooth more of the silky runner Um

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>and and really two veteran guys that lead that young

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.079
<v Speaker 1>receiver group. And the other one too is Nelson. Nelson's

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 1>really stood out, you know these last last couple of practices,

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>So both of those having that veteran leadership is good

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:14.599
<v Speaker 1>for that room. And as far as the preseason, what

0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 1>do you take because there have been times a day

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 1>in this organization, but it put great in preseason struggle

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.560
<v Speaker 1>in the regular season. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 1>it's uh, that's a good question because it happens around

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the league. You know, teams start oh and four and

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.199
<v Speaker 1>end up winning twelve games, or you go four and

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 1>oh and win four games. So, um, you know, it's

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 1>it feels good to win games. But at the same

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>time too that you also understand the dynamic of preseason.

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>You're playing a lot of guys. Um, we'll get a

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>better field obviously this week and and and see where

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 1>our guys are at. And you know, you get to

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 1>the regular season, things things turn up a notch. Um,

0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 1>the intensity level goes up. Um. You know as coaches too,

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>you know you're you're game planning a lot more specifically

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>for your opponent and and really putting your guys in

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>positions to be successful. So kind of works hand in hand,

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 1>but um, you know, wins and losses in the preseason

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 1>don't really matter until you get to week one. Okay, yeah, yeah,
