Speaker 1: And of course the game. Man, I've looked a little
Speaker 1: and the Eagle's favor. All right, we'll gon do now
Speaker 1: said at the Lambeau Field. Here for head coach Chip Kelly. Wow,
Speaker 1: shots shots fired? What are you looking at? Something to Uh? No,
Speaker 1: I thought Sam played well. You know, I thought he
Speaker 1: was really poised out there. I had a real good
Speaker 1: command of what we were doing, really located the football. Uh.
Speaker 1: I thought he played really well for us. We just
Speaker 1: talked about, you know, a couple series, so just see
Speaker 1: how it would, see how it was going to express itself.
Speaker 1: So I thought, after we had three drives, you know,
Speaker 1: three touchdown drives, we felt we felt comfortable with that.
Speaker 1: We got some good working for him. So now Kiko
Speaker 1: tried to run around his legs bothering him a little bit.
Speaker 1: So he tried to run around a little bit pregame,
Speaker 1: and uh just didn't feel a hundred percents, so held
Speaker 1: him out. No, I don't think it's his No, it's
Speaker 1: not his knee, it's not his an. It's just he
Speaker 1: got a little naggy kneed leg injury. I don't know
Speaker 1: particularly what he is, a tendonitis or something like that.
Speaker 1: So he should be fine. Sorry for anyone out there
Speaker 1: that had any galas at Sam Rader coming in here,
Speaker 1: visits all that times. I didn't have any debts on Sam,
Speaker 1: so I know, I'm not concerned with what people else
Speaker 1: I think. So I was concerned with those three insidebackers
Speaker 1: can go as him. We'll go into Atlanta having not
Speaker 1: played plays. Yeah, it's not a concern for us. I
Speaker 1: think we got real good death and inside unders. I mean,
Speaker 1: they you got to look at the film. But I
Speaker 1: think you know, we're we're we're, Um, we did some
Speaker 1: nice things tonight. We need to continue to build on it,
Speaker 1: you know. Um, we still haven't didn't have Zac. You know.
Speaker 1: I think he's he's another component that we can add
Speaker 1: to it. Um, Josh sat out tonight. He's another guy
Speaker 1: that we can add to it. So um, but I
Speaker 1: was pleased with how they played in the three series
Speaker 1: that those guys were in there. Yeah, he's got a leg.
Speaker 1: He he he just kind of tweaked it on Tuesday. We
Speaker 1: were just being precautionary with him. If we were playing
Speaker 1: a game, he would have kicked tonight. So he's he's
Speaker 1: It's nothing that we're overly concerned with it gave Kipson
Speaker 1: reps so um, but if it was if he had
Speaker 1: a kick, he could have kicked the night really pretty
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. I thought he was sharp, you know,
Speaker 1: and I think, uh, starting round in the form, you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's uh, he's always seems like he's going north
Speaker 1: and south. You know, I think there's um. But he
Speaker 1: also I think people forget. I think he had fifty
Speaker 1: five catches last year, but he's a real good receiver
Speaker 1: out of the back, so he had you know, I
Speaker 1: think in that first couple of drives he had six
Speaker 1: carries and two catches, so he touched the ball eight
Speaker 1: times in those in those first three drives. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, you're starting to see that explosion that that
Speaker 1: um we've all seen, you know, from the other side. Now,
Speaker 1: it's good to have him on our side. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: not really game planning, and I don't think they were
Speaker 1: game planning through, so you know, you can't say, hey,
Speaker 1: they were, you know, I think they just kind of
Speaker 1: look out and they got a personnel out there and
Speaker 1: they're kind of you know, just looking at it to
Speaker 1: its um. But I think Darren and we've talked about
Speaker 1: trying to get the ball in his hands more and
Speaker 1: obviously you know you hit him on a shallow crossing
Speaker 1: route that's a three or four yard pass and he
Speaker 1: turns it into a big game. So, um, you know,
Speaker 1: he's just like a great weapon to have in your
Speaker 1: shot on the two point conversions. Yeah, we just want
Speaker 1: to try and to see, you know, get a couple
Speaker 1: of things on tape. We can take a look at
Speaker 1: him tid. I don't know where the breakdown was on
Speaker 1: the on the first one, but we'll take a look
Speaker 1: at film and see what happened. Now he could have
Speaker 1: gone back in What else do you want to see
Speaker 1: at a saw to go back now? I think, like anybody,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just we always can continue to improve.
Speaker 1: So I think as we get uh you know, every day,
Speaker 1: I think. And that's the great thing about Sam is
Speaker 1: that he's not going to rest on anything he's got to. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, he's come back from and missed a lot
Speaker 1: of football coming into this. But I think he's playing
Speaker 1: well right now, but he can always get better and
Speaker 1: UM be sharper and you know that's that's the thing
Speaker 1: I love about. And he'll be back out in the
Speaker 1: field on Monday. Um, firing it around, trying to trying
Speaker 1: to trying to get better, trying to get a better
Speaker 1: report the receivers, get a better understanding of where they are. Um,
Speaker 1: so there's there's still a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: things for us to work on. That was our move,
Speaker 1: That's what we did this week. That was just his turn.
Speaker 1: And you know, we still got two weeks before we
Speaker 1: play Atlanta and we finalize that. But we've we've used
Speaker 1: a lot of different combinations and um, you know, try
Speaker 1: to make an educated decision on what's the best best
Speaker 1: combination of five out there when we go to Nicols.
Speaker 1: Now we just it just how it's expressed itself. We
Speaker 1: still have two more two more weeks of training and
Speaker 1: we'll still go ones on ones, you know this week
Speaker 1: where we get a chance to you know, seeing guys
Speaker 1: matched up with Jordan and some of those guys that
Speaker 1: were put in the slot. So feel you feel good
Speaker 1: about what these guys are. Yeah, we still got two weeks,
Speaker 1: so we're we're I think we're all comfortable in our
Speaker 1: progression in terms of where we are. So obviously it's quick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his first year play well he yeah, he did it
Speaker 1: in college, So I you know, I think Sam's just shocked.
Speaker 1: Sam's a really good football part of so I think
Speaker 1: he's he's been real comfortable in it. I think he
Speaker 1: enjoys it. So defense practice, yeah, I don't put a
Speaker 1: whole you know, stock, I don't think there's a lot
Speaker 1: of game planning that goes on in games like this.
Speaker 1: I know we didn't do a ton. I know Mike
Speaker 1: probably didn't do a ton. You're still trying to get better,
Speaker 1: so you know, you didn't. They didn't have specific matchups
Speaker 1: and kind of how they did things. They're just kind
Speaker 1: of running their stuff more running our stuff. So first game, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think they were Okay, I didn't. I really,
Speaker 1: when we're looking at inside linebackers, unless they make a
Speaker 1: splash player like a sack or an interception of things
Speaker 1: like that, you really got to look at the tape
Speaker 1: so specifically a quarterback, but plays that give any um
Speaker 1: tangible when it comes to making it. Now, we were
Speaker 1: just trying to see what going for two was like,
Speaker 1: so I no, I mean we didn't. We didn't look
Speaker 1: at it that way. So defensive, a few big plays
Speaker 1: the same, Yeah, that's the you know something we gotta
Speaker 1: it's a little bit to do with the rush and
Speaker 1: a little bit to do with the coverage in terms
Speaker 1: of being able to close it down turn it back
Speaker 1: to your help. But those are things usually we've we've
Speaker 1: been a very good defense against screens. I think our
Speaker 1: defensive line does a great job sniffing those out. So uh.
Speaker 1: And then sometimes it may be the play call may
Speaker 1: have been a real jet rush up field and they're
Speaker 1: getting upfield. Um, but you know, sometimes you gotta give
Speaker 1: I think green Bay called them at kind of the
Speaker 1: appropriate time. I think it was one of those games
Speaker 1: we get a couple of screens on them. It kind
Speaker 1: of it was one of those deals where they where
Speaker 1: everybody seemed like they were getting upfield towards the quarterback.
Speaker 1: So I think the screens helped. So thanks guys,
