And you know the worst thing to 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: do is rush back and not be ready to go 9 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: and then set yourself back.

It is what it is. Coach decision. 15 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: Uh one day when I'm making those decisions, you can 16 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: ask me. I'll tell you, but uh, coach's decision, and 17 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, make the most of it. 18 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: You know, we got a really good defense defense that 19 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: kind of does a little bit of everything. So, uh, 20 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's good. Good to get out here and 21 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: get competitive and uh yeah, just do it. 22 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: We're asked for you last week as productive is day 23 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: one because you're starting to see some teams kind of 24 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: canceled that a second game. 25 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think so I thought we made 26 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: a lot of progress out there. You know, I think, uh, 27 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, there's obviously a different emphasis. So I think, 28 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: you know, day one we were more field stuff and 29 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: day two we were more in the red zone. So yeah, 30 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: that's a huge, huge part of the game. And uh, 31 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: I thought we had a productive week. And you know, 32 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: like I said, coach is gonna do what's best for 33 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: the team.

Yeah, great, 47 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, I mean I think we got some pretty 48 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: positive updates, you know, there pretty quickly.

So, yeah, it's always a good thing. 52 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: Talk to Mac a little bit about like switching plays 53 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage and checking out of things and 54 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: stuff like that, to say, how how howerful is that 55 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 3: for you guys's alignment to get into the right place 56 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 3: and what's that communication for you to relate together? 57 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's great, you know. I mean, 58 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: I think that's part of football. It's been part of 59 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: football for for a long time. And you know, did 60 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: it in college, did it in high school to some extent, 61 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: so uh, you know, and there's so many different ways 62 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: you can do it, whether it's run to pass, pass 63 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: to run, run to run. Uh, you know, you got 64 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: so many plays in an offense. You don't want to 65 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: run a bad one, you know, and so trying to 66 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: get into the you know, the best play is the 67 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: biggest thing. And you know, whether it's a coach's call, 68 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks decision, all our decision, you know, making the right 69 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: calls things like that, you know, you're limited you just 70 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 1: don't want to waste to play, you know ever really so, 71 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: there's been. 72 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: Kind of a lot of moving around you throughout training camp, 73 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: which is common, But how eager are you to just 74 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: figure out who the five are to get established? 75 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, look, you know, I mean, it is 76 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: part of it. It's not gonna trying to think I 77 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: think maybe one, no, not even sixteen because we started 78 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: off with Teddy at guard. But I mean, look, it's 79 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: just part of it. Like you're gonna have guys rotating 80 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: in and out. It's very rare. You're gonna have the 81 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: same five starters every week, and you're gonna have guys 82 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: that you know, might only get four reps in practice 83 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: and they got to go out there Sunday because someone 84 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: gets down, you know, dinged up and got to perform. 85 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: So you got to take advantage of it. You know 86 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: a lot of young guys that getting great opportunities that 87 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: maybe they wouldn't if certain people were out here, and 88 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: they need to take advantage of it. They're invaluable reps, 89 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, uh, you know, I can remember 90 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: coach telling me in preseason, I had to get a 91 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: season worth the snaps in the preseason so my rookie year. 92 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: So you know, it was a great opportunity. And you 93 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: learn the more you see things, the more you make mistakes, 94 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: you learn from those mistakes or you try to. So, uh, 95 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, if you were perfect every day, you wouldn't 96 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: learn much. 97 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: Seeing you with I guess the last couple of weeks 98 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 2: or so, a relatively consistent group of guys heard you 99 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: in the past talk about seeing the game through the 100 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: same set of eyes. 101 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: How close are you to that with the with that group, 102 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: I think, so, you know, I think, you know, I 103 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: think like you said, I think that's super important thing 104 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: right has really starts with me how I see it, 105 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: because I kind of set the table, uh, you know, 106 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: and and how you want guys to react when you 107 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: call certain things. When you say things, you know what 108 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: you want their reaction to be, or you know when 109 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: you say something, this is gonna be my reaction to that. 110 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: How I'm gonna play? And I think the more you 111 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: build that with guys and understand how you're playing around 112 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: each other is a huge, huge thing. And if you 113 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: can all play together as one, you can be a 114 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: pretty good unit no matter who's in there. 115 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 2: To get back out there is that the kind of 116 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: thing you've you've played enough with them last year with Cole, 117 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 2: a couple of years with Mike that it shouldn't take 118 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: long to kind of pick up from. 119 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it's always you know, I've you know, 120 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: coming back from different things, and you know, it's always 121 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: tough a little bit, you know, but when you know 122 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: what people expect out of you and what they're expecting 123 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: from you, I think that's pretty easy to kind of 124 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: you know, flow back into it. 125 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: By this time, a lot of guys who were here 126 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: today would not have been here just a cut downs 127 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: would have gone down to seventy five, and then now 128 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: you're still ninety. How much do you appreciate how much 129 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: do you like having a full on it for them individually? 130 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: I don't remember when that was they changed that rule. 131 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: I think it's good. I think, you know, one, it 132 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: provides depth. You know, obviously, if we were cut down 133 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: and you know, had some O line, you know, you're 134 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: dealing with a small group, you know, and that's that'd 135 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: be tough. So I think it gives it gives guys 136 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: more options, you know, I mean, guys can make huge 137 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: jumps from week one to two two to four in 138 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: training camp and and maybe a guy in the first 139 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: two weeks that was struggling made some massive jump week 140 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: three through four. You know, I think it just gives 141 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: guys more opportunities, uh, to show themselves play in the 142 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: preseason games. I think preseason games are important, you know, 143 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. You know, it's kind of like I 144 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: said earlier, it is kind of how I felt like 145 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: I got a lot of experience. So, you know, I 146 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: think it's important. I think it's a good rule that 147 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: we've changed here. Whenever it was. 148 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 2: Said Friday night, what do you mean, sorry, preseason finale? 149 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, it's it's you know, whoever, you 150 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,119 Speaker 1: don't know what the opportunities you're gonna get, right, and 151 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's the last chance for us as 152 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: a unit to go out there and do something, last 153 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: chance for guys personally, and that's part of it. Uh. 154 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: You know, when I was playing my rookie year at 155 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: the heck they cut me, I'm gonna go out here 156 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: and play hard so that someone else will sign me. 157 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: So uh, you know, it's just part of it. And 158 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: you know it's a great opportunity. 159 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: Do you start focusing on the Eagles and all those 160 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 2: Georgia guys they got. 161 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: I got a few of them. Huh yeah. Look, you know, 162 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: it's it's part of the process. You know. It's things 163 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: you're preparing for. You're doing different things, maybe not just 164 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: for the Eagles, but just you know, things that our 165 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: defense doesn't do necessarily right. And you know it's not 166 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: necessarily just for the Eagles, but certain style of defense, 167 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: things like that. So you know, and then once we 168 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: kind of wrap up the last game, you know, you 169 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: start to focus on it and try to get ready 170 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: to go here. Thanks, guys, appreciate it.
