Speaker 1: I think he's playing probably like uh, like a rookie
Speaker 1: quarterback should and would be at this time quite honestly, UM,
Speaker 1: I you know, going all the way back to the
Speaker 1: to the offseason, starting after the after the draft, and
Speaker 1: all the way through to the night's game. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, UM, it's not easy to play quarterback in
Speaker 1: the National Football League, and UM the things that he
Speaker 1: has done UM in practice even in you know some
Speaker 1: of these games. It may not look like it because
Speaker 1: the end result, but he's made a lot of progress
Speaker 1: this uh, this entire training camp. So my hat's off
Speaker 1: to him and how he's worked and how he's prepared.
Speaker 1: What you see from the young defense events tonight, I
Speaker 1: thought they played hard. We got after the quarterback, UH,
Speaker 1: they closed on a couple of you know, uh tackle
Speaker 1: for losses. I thought they they came ready to play.
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was good to see, um,
Speaker 1: you know, in this last game, the energy level they had, UM,
Speaker 1: the effort that the uh they gave. UM obviously looked
Speaker 1: more at it tomorrow when we check out the tape.
Speaker 1: But I thought overall played well. It's going to be tough.
Speaker 1: I think they're all tough. I just told you guys
Speaker 1: in the locker room that you know, these next few
Speaker 1: days or the hardest, hardest few days we we have. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, you got ninety or so players and you
Speaker 1: got to get to fifty three and then and then
Speaker 1: you build back your practice squad. Guys. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a tough business. And I just appreciate all
Speaker 1: the hard work that these guys did for um through
Speaker 1: training camp, obviously through the off season. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: and and they left it in our hands and now
Speaker 1: it's our opportunity now to you know, make some tough
Speaker 1: decisions in the next couple of days. How do you
Speaker 1: evaluate how mac hollins has played. It's pretty season. He's
Speaker 1: been in a little more active in the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks times. So we just got to go back
Speaker 1: and look at look at everything that's full you know,
Speaker 1: the full body work and and uh, you know, obviously
Speaker 1: you know his health coming in was was an issue.
Speaker 1: But he battled through that, got himself healthy and back
Speaker 1: on the field, and um, he fought through that and
Speaker 1: he that's that's commendable. And we just got to look
Speaker 1: at the whole body of work and and and see
Speaker 1: and again make make some make some tough decisions on
Speaker 1: these guys. What did you find out about Jordan my
Speaker 1: loots injury. We're actually gonna get another update in the
Speaker 1: morning when we get back tonight, and then in the
Speaker 1: morning when we do our medical and so on Monday,
Speaker 1: I should have a probably a better update, you know,
Speaker 1: with with where he's at. Dog obviously sewn situation a
Speaker 1: little unfortunate. Uh just how serious is it to us?
Speaker 1: Clear that op as far as you expect him. But
Speaker 1: we get one in ten days, he'll be fine. Dog.
Speaker 1: Rud On a different Rudy Ford wasn't out there tonight.
Speaker 1: Why wasn't he playing? It's got a lower body issue
Speaker 1: that just needed some rest. And then you had Cameron
Speaker 1: Johnson on the kickoff? What was the reason for that?
Speaker 1: Just in case? I mean, you've seen us in the
Speaker 1: past when when Jake's gone down and we've used Kamo,
Speaker 1: you know, and just an opportunity to get Cam a
Speaker 1: drop kick on a kickoff that could be beneficial for
Speaker 1: us if somewhere happened to Jake during the season. Uh no, no,
Speaker 1: it's just something we wanted to do. Um. You know again,
Speaker 1: Windell is a player that we know man, we got
Speaker 1: a lot of history with him. Um, and and you know, unfortunate,
Speaker 1: gosh that one run tonight. I mean we we had
Speaker 1: a trap inside and the backer hit a ball on
Speaker 1: the you know, tackle on the ball came out. But um,
Speaker 1: you know Windell is a guy that uh, um, that
Speaker 1: we understand, we kind of know him, and and you
Speaker 1: know he last week it was you know it was
Speaker 1: it was Corey's opportunity last week, his opportunity this week,
Speaker 1: and and uh would have played last week. The game
Speaker 1: was shortened obviously, but um, you know he's he's writ
Speaker 1: in the mix. What made you not want to play
Speaker 1: andred doer tonight? Knowing that he's not going into the
Speaker 1: season as a start. Andrew's gotten a lot of work
Speaker 1: at tackle, um, especially left tackle, you know, all through
Speaker 1: training camp. I mean that that has been the primary
Speaker 1: focus with him. And you know, for a guy that
Speaker 1: could be part of the seven on game day, UM,
Speaker 1: you don't just want to give him extra rest? Do
Speaker 1: you ever keep a player, um, who might not figure
Speaker 1: into your times as much? Buddy's earned a spot and
Speaker 1: it kind of proves to the rest of the guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think every year there's there's that one guy, sometimes
Speaker 1: two guys that on every team. You know, it's it
Speaker 1: might be a surprise to to you guys, it might
Speaker 1: be a surprise to the fans, but to us, it's
Speaker 1: no surprise based on how that that player has worked,
Speaker 1: um and and guys make teams all the time, um,
Speaker 1: you know, because of because of that their effort, their energy,
Speaker 1: their willingness to uh practice, you know, and and make
Speaker 1: an impact. All right, thanks, thanks, Just like
