0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>So you your reaction to Josh's incidental bridge, you know,

0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>obviously disappointed. Um you know it's uh, um, it's not

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>what you want on a on a player day off

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to see happen. Um. He and I spoke about it privately,

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, um you know it's uh it's it's

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>one of the things I talk about all the time

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>with players. You know, you just try to eliminate distractions

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, you know, take care of your business

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>outside of the building. And uh, he understands and and uh,

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, we just gotta obviously it's out of our

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>hands at this point. We just gotta see where it goes.

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Nothing changes in terms of his status on the team.

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Nothing changes right now until until we get it again.

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:40.759
<v Speaker 1>It's out of our hands. It's a legal matter right now,

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.759
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll get more information on it. We've had

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these now distractions to use your work.

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>What do you do? How do you avoid more of these?

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Where does it end? You know, It's that's a great question.

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's kind of like, uh, I it's

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>like you're the you're the father of your house, and

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and you just gotta keep talking to your you know,

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>to your tower siblings, and just keep talking to your

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>kids and and just keep keep reiterating the importance of

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>who you represent, what you represent, your families, the Philadelphia Eagles,

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and and you got to make smart choices. And it's

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>it's all about choices and consequences in life. And and um,

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you make bad choices, you got to

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>suffer the consequences. So we'll we'll just continue to keep

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about its from the team we again until until

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I find out you know exactly, Um, you know, the

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>severity of it and what's going to happen down the road.

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Right now, nothing, and we'll take it. We'll take it

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>one day to time as of right now, yes, say well,

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean I would I would assume, you know, if

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you it's hard to speculate, but I'm sure you've seen

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>it in the past. I mean there could be fines,

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>or could be suspensions, or could be you know, anything

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>of that nature. But again, until until we gather all

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the information, we just don't. We just don't know what's

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>going to happen. Yeah, I just need to. I just

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>need to hear officially, you know, through an investigation, what

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>took place and what happened. So TAMAS not enough. I

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>want to. I want to just get all the I

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 1>want to. I want to see exactly what happened and

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe talk to some people and uh and and find

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>out I mean, you know, it's it's outside of the

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>building obviously, UM and a lot of times what these

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>situations are out of our control. UM. And I just

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>want to I want to get everything, get everything tightened up.

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>Complex directly coming from here. He was here yesterday morning.

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 1>He came in and watched the game film and then

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 1>and then left from here, so it was some time

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>after he left. I said, you said, you wish these

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>guys would make smarter decisions after some of the other

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>incidents when they're outside of the building. And now this is,

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I believe in the fourth total incident. Do you feel

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>there's a necessary situation for a meeting with the team

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to to talk about that again, or for players to

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>have a meeting about that outside of the building, You know,

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I do. I think that. You know, it's it's part

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>of my message to the team this morning, cause I

0:03:58.320 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>hadn't seen him in a couple of days. So part

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>of the message this morning is how we handle our business. Um.

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I also think too that, I mean, you make poor

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>choices in life, You're gonna make poor choices on the

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>football field, You're gonna make you're gonna make. You know,

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>if it's a if it's a constant thing, then eventually

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>you suffer the consequences. And and you know, when you're

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>dealing with so many guys, coaches, players, office, um, trying

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to keep everybody on the same page as uh, when

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you're dealing with a lot of personalities and a lot

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of backgrounds. Um, you know, my job too,

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 1>sometimes is is to be that father figure for some

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>of these players and and understanding their history and and

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know where they've come from and how they

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>grew up. And it may not be how I grew

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.280
<v Speaker 1>up as as a as a child or as a

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>as a you know, an adolescent or a team whatever.

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.280
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, you know, I'm gonna wrap

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>my arm around them and love on them and and uh,

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, try to show them the right direction by

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the fact he brought a gun onto the premise, and

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>you think it's a common experience about I don't know

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>about I'm not going to speculate that this is quite multiples.

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Not so if people on the outside looking at you

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to say, because Doug Peterson had full control of this team,

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>out of your spot, I would say, I would say

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>that I do. Um. Again, I can't control what you

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 1>do outside of it. Once you leave here. I don't

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>know what you're gonna do, and I'm not responsible for you.

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>But I can't control what you do once you leave

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>these premises. Neither can the Philadelphia Eagles control what I

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 1>do once I leave these premises. I just know who

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I am as a person, and I try to relay

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that to the team and just let them know that, Hey, guys,

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 1>you know you have the spotlight is on us in

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>this city, in this market. The spotlight is on everything

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>we do. And you have to be smart, you have

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to make right choices, you have to you have to

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>do things differently. I mean, you just have to do

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>them differently. And and because everything's magnified. Um. But again,

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, it's it's once they leave here. Uh,

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:15.159
<v Speaker 1>that's the hardest thing to control. Well, we just keep

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>talking about it, Just keep talking about it. We talked

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.159
<v Speaker 1>about the name father figure and wrapping your arms around

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>guys and and that kind of thing. But is there

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>another part of a discipline? Um? Do you think that

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe more discipline needs to come down if you have

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.159
<v Speaker 1>a number of incidents one after the next work guys

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>are stepping out of line. I think I think that

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>there there there comes a time, um, you know when

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>it uh um, when there could be could be some

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 1>discipline like that. I mean, obviously this this could be

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>a case again. And and you know, I just I

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>just want to make sure that these guys that I'm

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>doing right by these players, and then they're doing right

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>by themselves. And and that we're we're handling our business

0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:01.239
<v Speaker 1>away from this building, right. Um. And if that means,

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, discipline at some point, then then then we

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>address it at that point for you, between when you

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>discipline players prior to whether they're officially well, you know,

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I gotta make sure that well, it's hard to put

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a put a you know, a uh, you know, a

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>bullet point sort of you know, a checklist of what

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>they do. But um, these are all things that I

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>mean is it is it something that that that I condone?

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Is it something that I would expect? No, it's not.

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean I would expect them. Again, it goes back

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to being being a man and making making the right decisions.

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these guys are these guys are professional athletes.

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>They are they're still obviously they're young adults, um, learning

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>about life, young marrieds, young kids. These are the things

0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>that they need to focus on them, that they need

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to see. Um. I've been through that as a player.

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it with other teammates, Um, you know, and

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. But at the same time, UM,

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>they need to know that that, Um, that the decisions

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and choices they make away from this building are gonna

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna affect it's gonna affect them as a player.

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna affect eventually the team, and I think eventually

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 1>it's going to affect their future as a player in

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.559
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. Was part of your message. I mean, obviously

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.439
<v Speaker 1>Nigel's incident and this one both involved guns. It was

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>part of your message specifically addressing issues regarding guns. And well,

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and I have them. I mean I have hunting rifles

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.439
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. I mean, you know, and and

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>but they're they're registered, they got permits form they just

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>again it. You know, there there's league policies, there's a

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphi Eagles policy. Those are things that we visit every year. Um,

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>and we just need to continue to revisit these things.

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't necessarily understand why they need guns, um outside

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>of you know, maybe sport hunting or whatever. But you know,

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>we just continue to educate our players and and uh

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>and try to try to curb it the best we can.

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>In contact with you about this at all, I would

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>expect it at some point, but at this point we haven't.

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>We haven't heard anything asked. By the way, No, I

0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.960
<v Speaker 1>don't have an explanation for it. I don't. I don't

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>know why, you know, I don't know why. To be

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 1>honest with you, if these things continue to occur, if

0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>something else happens, when you feel you might have to

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.439
<v Speaker 1>do more, I feel like that. I feel like if

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>it if it obviously you know, um, if it continues. Um,

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.599
<v Speaker 1>you know there and again there's this this thing is

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.560
<v Speaker 1>still an open investigation, so I don't know what's going

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 1>to happen even in this case, you know, whether it

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>be from the league or the Eagles. But um, yeah,

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's there's uh, there's obviously probably more you

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>can you can look into and do you know down

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the road injury, what's the trickle down? Good question, thank you. Um, well,

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 1>you know Wisnewsky will we'll step in at left guard. Um,

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, we'll see where Alan is at the end

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>of the week. If he can't go in this game,

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>then uh, we'll bring Isaac Will activate Isaac h this week.

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>He's ready to go, Isaac, Yes, yes, yes, challenge trying

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to bounce before now, trying to get back on track

0:10:55.240 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>and the division games that challenge this week. Yeah, you know,

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a big challenge. Obviously, the guys are very disappointed.

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And uh, um, you know, they hate to lose. UM,

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 1>tough games like we just came through. We're kind of

0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>going through a tough little stretch even in our schedule

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 1>right now. But you know, it is what it is,

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and we just got to maintain our focus, got to

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>maintain our drive and determination. You know, it's one day

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 1>at a time, it's one play at a time. Um.

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 1>The guys very eager to get back out on the

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>practice field today later today, and and and sort of

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 1>get the taste out of their mouth. And and it's

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>it's no better feeling than to play another division opponent

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and uh, try to try to right the ship, give

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 1>it three of the road and don't have a division

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 1>win yet, does that put a prater importance on this one?

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I think the emphasis is greater for sure,

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean, you know, teams that want to

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>make the postseason obviously have to handle their division. And

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>right now we're we've we've put ourselves in a little

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 1>bit of a hole. So yeah, the importance of winning

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>this game is is um is probably a must for

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>us in the division. We're just saying, how much of

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a distraction is it to the team for you to

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>spend your first you know, fifteen minutes today talking about

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 1>a gun and how one bullets and discipline, uh worder forward?

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>What what kind of a problem is that it's probably

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>more of a distraction for me than than the players. Um,

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, because I'm the one having to answer and

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 1>field the questions. But UM, I know, once I leave here,

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 1>it's I'm on the I'm on the practice field and

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 1>and and as business as usual. So um this obviously

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 1>was expected and uh um, but there's no greater feeling

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.080
<v Speaker 1>than getting back out on the field and getting to

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>work is offensiable chage add bills this week. Well obviously

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 1>at some weapons skill position you know um Odell Beckham

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 1>and uh Shepherd and Cruise. I mean these guys are

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>uh dynamic receivers that can be very explosive and so

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.839
<v Speaker 1>obviously understanding the thing is they've got a lot of

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>time invested. You know, Eli, they've worked with these these

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>guys for the last few years and um, you know,

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 1>it's an offense that ELI is very familiar with. So

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a lot of continuity there. Um. And and

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 1>these games always seem to come down to to you know,

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 1>either who has the ball last or who who takes

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>care of the football? You know, and in games like

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 1>this and and uh, um you know it's always a

0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.960
<v Speaker 1>tough battle between the Giants and Eagles and and um,

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I just look forward to the to the opportunity again

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>day to day. I'm sorry, go ahead, how will you

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.320
<v Speaker 1>rotate your running backs? I mean you're going to continue

0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>to go with the heavy dose for Darren? Um? Yeah,

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 1>well again we'll see. But Ryan, you know we're going

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.719
<v Speaker 1>in Ryan, Ryan still the guy and and uh you know,

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 1>we're still gotta gotta get him going and feeding him

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.839
<v Speaker 1>and get him, get him a few more touches. And

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 1>in these games, Darren again is uh the guy that

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that would come in next and very situational as as

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>we go along. And then we got to continue with

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Wendell and Kenyon and keep keep the you know, keep

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the pipeline coming because we're gonna need all four of

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>these guys at some point. There was a moment journey camp,

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.560
<v Speaker 1>but Somala was kind of the next guy up. Um

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.079
<v Speaker 1>that guard what changes in between that? Was it just

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the injury? Um? And what have you seen out at

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>him day to day and practice and how much competence

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.319
<v Speaker 1>is yeah, you know, Um, you know, we tried, you know,

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>when when Barbarie went out to right tackle and Isaac

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>was in there at left left guard, and then we

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.800
<v Speaker 1>had Wiz was kind of the backup center guard in

0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>that in that combination, and then of course the injury

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>set him back just a little bit and and Whizz

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 1>was healthy healthy, h so uh he was able to

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 1>to plug right in there. Isaac has done an outstanding

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 1>job in practice even at center. He's getting some market

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 1>center as well, and um, you know, this would be

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 1>a great opportunity for him now to be active, to

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 1>feel the the game like experience, you know, from from

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that standpoint. But you know, uh, Whizz as a veteran

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 1>guy that's got a lot of a lot of starts

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 1>under his belt, and we feel comfortable with him being

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the starter. Snaps were still still a problem on Sunday. Well.

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 1>A lot of it too, is is how the center

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>reacts to certain things. Sometimes if he's going to his right,

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the ball tends to come to the right, or vice

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>versa to the left, and just things we got to

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>continue to focus on. Um, whether he's rising up at

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the snap, ball stays low, Carson dropping his eyes on

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>a couple occasions and dropping actually dropping the snap. Uh

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, which is which has happened in the last

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 1>few games. And those are just things we got to

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, to continue to work through, continue to um

0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, talk about in practice and execute it in

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>practice so that they they go to a minimum and

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>then we don't have any more costly turnovers. That way.

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 1>You always seems so steady. I'm sure that's how you

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 1>want to project yourself. So siph would be disappointed, Are

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>you also pissed about how many Deep down? Yeah, I

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 1>mean you're you're obviously disappointed and dejected and and um,

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, I I don't sit in office all day

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and expect something to happen, you know, I pray that

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't happen. But um, I'm disappointed for the choices

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 1>that they make. And uh, um, you know, we just

0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.280
<v Speaker 1>we learned from and move on for a long time.

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>What did you learn from him about dealing with stuff

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>like this and what do you necessarily handled the same boy?

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Um Again, he was very very cerebral in the way

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that he wanted all the information as well. Um. He

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 1>wanted to find out exactly what had happened, talk to

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 1>people if he could, uh and make a make a

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 1>calculated decision. And again it was kind of the same

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.200
<v Speaker 1>same things when it's when it's outside of the building

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 1>and the outside of our control. Um, it kind of

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 1>gets turned over to the authorities at that point. So

0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the same things are have stemmed from

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>me watching him and and learning from him. Wide receiver

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>rotation something, any changes in the wide receiver rotation. No,

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Josh say to you when you spoke, how do you cope? Well,

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll just tell you this. He was. He was very

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 1>dejected and very disappointed. Um, and uh, you know, very

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 1>apologetic obviously, and uh said it wouldn't happen again, apologize

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:13.600
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Yes, the reports that there were conversations

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.160
<v Speaker 1>about wide receivers at the trade deadline and particularly Torry Smith,

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 1>what's your understanding of of that? How close conversations? Um,

0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously every team is looking to to maybe

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 1>upgrade or bring in people that can help you. At

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>this time, it's so early in the season. We're just

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 1>at the midway point too. And uh, very comfortable with

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.879
<v Speaker 1>obviously the guys we have and want to continue to

0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.960
<v Speaker 1>work with them and get them, get them ready. This

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.200
<v Speaker 1>week as well. That's the one guy we talked you

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to see. It was an all gaging conference level about it,

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:51.120
<v Speaker 1>being flustered about the props and so you talked about it. Yeah,

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I excuse me, I uh, I approach

0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 1>it as if I need to talk to somebody individually,

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk to him individually, um, collectively, as a group

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.760
<v Speaker 1>or as an entire offense. And I felt that, you know,

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.399
<v Speaker 1>in in in certain circumstances, you just I address it

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 1>with the whole team. I want everybody to hear my message.

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't think it needs to be directed

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 1>directly at you know, one specific. I can go privately

0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.440
<v Speaker 1>to you and we can talk, but you know, I

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:24.440
<v Speaker 1>want I want the whole offense, the whole team to

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:28.159
<v Speaker 1>hear from me how I feel. Um, and and just

0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>know that, uh you know, we need to get better.

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 1>And and uh, um they understand, they know, they see it,

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.920
<v Speaker 1>they they hear it, they read it, watch it on

0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>TV whatever, and and obviously it bothers them as well.

0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:44.920
<v Speaker 1>And uh but uh you know, UM, we just can't.

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.159
<v Speaker 1>We can't allow the outside influences affect what we do

0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:50.920
<v Speaker 1>inside the building. Thank you, guys,
