Speaker 1: Are you. Yeah, you know, we're in a live situation too,
Speaker 1: so I understand the competitiveness of the drill. But we
Speaker 1: we've uh you know, I've tried to get the message
Speaker 1: across too. Sometimes we just protect each other. UM, try
Speaker 1: not to go low if you can't. You know, it's
Speaker 1: reactionary stuff. UM. And uh, you know you can't fault
Speaker 1: the players for for trying to make plays. Well right now,
Speaker 1: Um with with Zach he's again him and uh, him
Speaker 1: and Marcus are both being evaluated, um for head injuries
Speaker 1: you know right now upper upper body. Um, just being evaluated.
Speaker 1: So I'll have more for you probably later today. Uh
Speaker 1: Mike Martin has a left knee sprain. He left practice
Speaker 1: and then uh Matthews same thing, left knee being evaluated.
Speaker 1: So we'll know more after. Excuse me, Um, I don't
Speaker 1: think so. He just was on a on a limited
Speaker 1: basis to day. I wasn't aware if you win in
Speaker 1: or not, but if he did, it was just limited.
Speaker 1: And and just just keep the treatment going. Drafted free
Speaker 1: agent out here and trying to make the roster. A
Speaker 1: guy making plays all over the field here, that's want
Speaker 1: to free this tips last seeds and gating to show
Speaker 1: us in the separation, did you notice those characteristics of
Speaker 1: a little bit for a young guy. He's doing really well.
Speaker 1: You know, big tall targets, got some good speed and
Speaker 1: at you know, good length and and uh you know,
Speaker 1: has the occasional drop from time to time. But those
Speaker 1: are all things that young players go through. And obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, the volume of information that we throw at him,
Speaker 1: you know, also can play a part in what he's doing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's he's really really off to a good start.
Speaker 1: Look forward to watching them play in these games. And
Speaker 1: at the second ary, can you just assess the pointerback
Speaker 1: depth and with you guys like Eric Brow and some
Speaker 1: of the safeties acting play Janlen Bills, they can played
Speaker 1: parterback and and free safety in college. Will those guys
Speaker 1: have to find roles that will it be specifically winterback
Speaker 1: and free Yeah. Right now, you're you're seeing a lot
Speaker 1: of rotations out there. Some coach Schwartz and I talked
Speaker 1: about getting getting um many players kind of exposed to
Speaker 1: different different positions on defense. You know, once we get
Speaker 1: into the regular season, we'll be a little more um
Speaker 1: sort of role specific, you know, So right now, you
Speaker 1: know all those guys are getting getting opportunities at a
Speaker 1: bunch of spots want to hit, want toil these then
Speaker 1: a lot of guys getting banged up. Kind of balance
Speaker 1: that we need at. I just know this football is
Speaker 1: a contact sport. This is gonna happen. It's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: And whether it happens today or what happens Thursday night,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's part of the game. And and I'm
Speaker 1: i'm I'm, I'm a big believer. You never shy away
Speaker 1: from contact. You gotta have contact again, it's a contact sport.
Speaker 1: And and uh, you know, and we just you just
Speaker 1: you just keep training the guys, You keep talking to
Speaker 1: them about protection and and uh, you know, every drill
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be live. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: we can still you know, be in position to make
Speaker 1: tackles and form fit and uh you know, run game
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. We stay up and we learn to do
Speaker 1: it that way and and um becomes assignment football. But
Speaker 1: you know, again, it's it's part of the game. And
Speaker 1: we'll we'll continue to you know, um obviously monitor the
Speaker 1: guys at the same time, won't shy away from the contact.
Speaker 1: Now I can't I can't if your second guess, you
Speaker 1: could beat very highly of Windel Smallwood. How important is
Speaker 1: this time that he's missing, knowing that you want to
Speaker 1: see what he was like the madazony. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: it's tough for a young player, uh and and for
Speaker 1: us as coaches to get that that true evaluation. But
Speaker 1: we know, we know who he is, what he is.
Speaker 1: We saw a lot this spring the first couple of
Speaker 1: days of camp. Have a good, good idea, you know.
Speaker 1: Right now it's a matter of him just getting healthy
Speaker 1: and getting back on the field and get him caught up.
Speaker 1: But you know, what we're doing, you know doesn't change
Speaker 1: much from day to day offensively, so so when he
Speaker 1: does come back, it's just a matter of you know,
Speaker 1: trusting himself and getting him, getting him coached up. He's
Speaker 1: day to day, it's day to day. You know, we're again,
Speaker 1: those are two guys are a valuable part and pieces
Speaker 1: of this football team. And then we'll continue to monitor
Speaker 1: both of them, but both of them are on track
Speaker 1: and we'll just you know, we'll uh well, we'll monitor
Speaker 1: a day to day coach. Any reason why Cosso Wentz
Speaker 1: is where a day camera on his helmet and the
Speaker 1: other two quarterbacks on is there any sports step being, No, no,
Speaker 1: they can't. We we if you notice too, we do
Speaker 1: it every day. We put cameras on several guys offensively
Speaker 1: and defensively, and and just wanted to put it back
Speaker 1: on him today. And you know, it's just something we
Speaker 1: just keep keep looking at the film and and it's
Speaker 1: nothing that we're using right now. Um, it's just something
Speaker 1: we're as a staff just just seeing if it's beneficial
Speaker 1: to the players, beneficial to us as an offense or defense.
Speaker 1: Can be schedule three quarterbacks this so Thursday night we'll
Speaker 1: ch schedule to the quarterback rotation. Yeah, you know, it's
Speaker 1: typical in the first game, you try to get them
Speaker 1: all in the game. But but I don't have the
Speaker 1: exact timetable as to how long and and how how
Speaker 1: many reps each want will get you. Yeah. Time, you know,
Speaker 1: most of my time has spent on the offense and
Speaker 1: getting the guys coached up there. But but Jim and
Speaker 1: I will sit down from time to time and just
Speaker 1: just uh uh, you know, just talk and see we
Speaker 1: see where everybody's at. Plus I'm you know, I'm evaluating
Speaker 1: the tape so I get to uh, ask questions and
Speaker 1: and find out more about players and and uh uh
Speaker 1: just uh, you know, stay in tune with everything that's
Speaker 1: going on and and and right now, it's a it's
Speaker 1: a fine line because we're also trying to get everything
Speaker 1: executed on offense as well, and and so the bulk
Speaker 1: of my time is still on the offense. He's good.
Speaker 1: He's good, you know. Again, he's another one that's day
Speaker 1: to day. It was good to see him and Ryan
Speaker 1: both out here get some individual works and group install
Speaker 1: stuff and and we'll just kind of keep keep progressing
Speaker 1: with both of those guys. Ryan Matthews specifically, it's it
Speaker 1: nice to get him out of here for a little bit.
Speaker 1: You talk running back, I give it. Yeah, it's valuable anytime,
Speaker 1: anytime you missed, especially the first part of camp when
Speaker 1: when he hasn't had the exposure to pads. He had
Speaker 1: to get him out here and run around. And uh,
Speaker 1: it was good too, good to see him put the
Speaker 1: ball in his hands a little bit, see how he
Speaker 1: was running around, and and um, I thought, I thought
Speaker 1: he did a did a nice job when he was
Speaker 1: in there. And and we'll just keep giving him more
Speaker 1: and more every every day, not really I think he's
Speaker 1: doing he's doing a nice job. He's on track, he's learning. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, again this is that time at camp where
Speaker 1: you know, we've thrown so much at these young players
Speaker 1: and all the players that you know, the volume of
Speaker 1: information UM usually catches up to players to quarterbacks in specific.
Speaker 1: But he's done a nice job with it. And uh,
Speaker 1: he's learned to he's learned to kind of categorize everything
Speaker 1: and keep things relatively simple. Yeah. Yeah, for a young quarterback.
Speaker 1: You know, he came he came to us very very
Speaker 1: knowledgeable of the game. UM. Knowing our system the offseason
Speaker 1: was was a beneficial because this is this is a
Speaker 1: repeat of the of the of the spring. We're we're
Speaker 1: not putting new plays in or anything. Let's just a
Speaker 1: repeat of what we did this spring. The ship he
Speaker 1: grafted free agent, somebody step on, well, you know, I
Speaker 1: look at he's not an undrafted free agent. But Trey
Speaker 1: Burton has had a nice camp, you know so far.
Speaker 1: And I think Paul Turner has been a kid that
Speaker 1: uh has showed up a little bit on offense and
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, even even defensively, Destiny has done
Speaker 1: done a nice job. And the D line position. So
Speaker 1: there's some young guys that are that are uh giving
Speaker 1: themselves an opportunity to potentially make the roster. He was
Speaker 1: not out here today again, he was uh the ankle,
Speaker 1: you know again, just monitoring him and just want to
Speaker 1: just want to keep him coming so he's ready for
Speaker 1: the regular season. Yeah, you know, we're we're we're exposing
Speaker 1: ourselves to a lot of different things right now in
Speaker 1: that In that regard, I think you're gonna see that
Speaker 1: in the preseason teams trying to kick it higher, trying
Speaker 1: to land it more on the goal line and try
Speaker 1: to try to cover and keep keep teams inside the twenty.
Speaker 1: It'll it'll be interesting, uh you know again with sort
Speaker 1: of the trial and era through training camp, just how
Speaker 1: how this thing's gonna play out going into the regular seasons. Easy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: normally they're just used to kicking the ball deep in
Speaker 1: the end zone. It but they both uh both have
Speaker 1: really worked hard, you know the spring obviously in a
Speaker 1: camp to try to try to land that ball a
Speaker 1: little bit shorter. But but the key is also keeping
Speaker 1: it high, you know for the hang time and and
Speaker 1: uh off of a off of a small tea. It's
Speaker 1: sometimes it can be it can be taxing, but they've
Speaker 1: they've both done a good job wide receiver for this
Speaker 1: first week of trying receiver. Yeah, you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's a good group. It's a group that uh uh
Speaker 1: really prides themselves and making plays and doing the right thing.
Speaker 1: And Rubin Randall is a guy that's kind of stood
Speaker 1: out right now. Jordan Matthews was without saying him, he's
Speaker 1: he's a player that that works extremely hard. He's obviously
Speaker 1: the first one in the building, the last one to leave,
Speaker 1: and and he's just a sponge. He wants to soak
Speaker 1: everything up. Chris Gibbons, Paul Term, you can go down
Speaker 1: the line. Every one of them has had has had
Speaker 1: days where they've made plays and and uh, you just
Speaker 1: never know who's gonna show up on any any given day.
Speaker 1: But as a group, they've they've done a they've done
Speaker 1: a really good jobs. Excuse me, I you know, I do.
Speaker 1: I think there's some guys that can stretch the field,
Speaker 1: but I also think that you do it by scheme.
Speaker 1: Doesn't always have to be just the fastest guy down
Speaker 1: the field. Um. And and these guys have uh really
Speaker 1: embraced you know, what we're teaching. Thanks you guys,
