1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: All right, good practice Thursday, Thursday things today. So we 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: did red zone. We did a little two minute which 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: was good, very spirited and competitive today. UM, I think 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: we got a lot done and so we'll push forward tomorrow. 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,159 Speaker 1: We'll try to try to scheme it up like we 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: would on a Friday. For the most part, we got 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: a kind of a training camp feel to it, but 8 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: it'll be like Friday and then we'll get keep keep rolling. 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: So take your questions. UM, what you just said about 10 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: the period, it reminds me there hasn't been any kind 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: of fighting for the kind of thing you normally seeing 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: a training camp. What does that tell you about your team? 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: Now we've had we've had our fights and scuffles. I think, uh, 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: there there been, but I think it's important that we 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: because that's part of it. But I think what's important 16 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: is that we uh are able to practice together so 17 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: we can all get better. You know, boys will be 18 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: boys and um. But but you're right, you know, in 19 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: the in the in these last few settings, certainly the 20 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. UM, this time a training camp too. 21 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: They're kind of tired, you know, and they're kind of 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: grinding through it. And so some of that little extra 23 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: emotion doesn't show up so well, it doesn't or in 24 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: this case, I guess, was the organic or the stuff 25 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 1: that you tried to bring out of them and energy level? 26 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: I guess the competitive part of it. Now, I think 27 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: it's important. You know, let's assume most of the ones 28 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: won't play this week. It's important that they get good 29 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: quality work and practice. And like you've seen all along, 30 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: I like to go once versus ones, and we did 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: a bunch of that here in the last couple of days, 32 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: which I think they think the guys needed. So let's 33 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: play in the same hampstring. Uh yeah, yeah, So we'll 34 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: just see where he's where he's at, he's making good progress, 35 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: so we'll just see see how this little thing affects him. 36 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: John La steady progress. You know, I think I think 37 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: it's important, you know, he goes in and executes well 38 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: for the amount of time that he's in there. It 39 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: would be good do beyond the road, you know, like 40 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: we were last week against the Bengals. There's a lot 41 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: to be learned going through how we do the cadence 42 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: and and whatnot. So um, but just steady progress, like 43 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: like he's really been on been doing here for all camps. Execution, 44 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: I expect him to. I expect him to execute at 45 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: a high level. So I don't know. I think, you know, 46 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: I think he's doing a good job and he's making 47 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: really good progress. You in mind, is there any benefit 48 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: down the road for him to be out there in 49 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: the first series and fortunately being out there for a 50 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: second like you doing the freaky you know, he was 51 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: you know, when he went in the games, he would 52 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: go in behind the first line, So that's you know, 53 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: that's probably it. I guess there may be a little 54 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: bit to the first three or four place, but he's 55 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: got to execute them just like he would if he 56 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: he went in there in a second. So possibly the 57 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: guys at the bottom of the roster, if they have 58 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: any chance of making the roster playing cannon. If so, 59 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: is there anything he can Yeah, well, the bottom of 60 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: the roster. You know, right now, we really don't have 61 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: a depth chart, so I wouldn't say who's at the 62 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: bottom of the roster. I will say this, we sort 63 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: of know who's at the top of the roster, and 64 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: so everybody beyond that, you know, and especially all the 65 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,839 Speaker 1: guys that playing the game certainly have a chance to 66 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: impress us in a way where they can make our 67 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: football team. I think that's still we're at roster wise. 68 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: You know, we've got a lot of guys competing for 69 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: you know, the fifty three spots were Chad Reeler's. Then 70 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: he has kind of done a battle on the back. Yeah, 71 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: I mean he's been plagued by that little back injury, 72 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: and so we'll just see, you know, we hadn't been 73 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: able to kind of get the you know, the quality 74 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: practice reps over an extended period of time. But he's 75 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: out there practicing, and um, we'll just see where he's at. 76 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: And he's he's out there and he's practicing, and so 77 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: we just you know, maybe get him in this week. 78 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: Hopefully get him in this week. The bets who aren't 79 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: going to play on Thursday. Are you starting to work 80 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: on Dallas stuff or you know it's giants versus giants, 81 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: you know, but all along, you know, you sort of 82 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: change the names to protect the innocent. You just keep practicing, 83 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: you know. I think that's I think that's what we do. 84 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: Um song play. Yeah, Well he's coming back from that concussion, 85 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: so he's you know, he's getting getting back into it. 86 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: There's a chance he won't. We'll just have to see 87 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: where he's at. Yeah, yeah, that's more or less what 88 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: it is. Um, if if he wasn't in the protocol 89 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: or you know, then certainly he'd be out there at 90 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: times a play where undeception and he chased the guy 91 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: down the sideline and it looks like he ended up 92 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: one the ground. Is that the tackle attempt? Or was 93 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: that slip pot? No? I mean you mean the last Yeah, 94 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: he was trying to get the ball out, and that's 95 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: the reaction of a good football player. Now we obviously 96 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: I don't want him to get hurt, but yeah, he's 97 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: trying to get the ball out, which I think he did, 98 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 1: Actually didn't he We stayed right over there by you guys, 99 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: So that would have been a really good play. What 100 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: are some of the ones Russell I to shure you 101 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: this weekend in the game, He's made a lot of 102 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: places like he has a strong chemistry with drones already. 103 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: How big of a weeksiness for him? I don't know 104 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: what he's got to show us. You know, he's he's 105 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: impressed us to this point. Um, just continue to play 106 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: good football, make plays. Uh, he's tough competitive guy. Uh 107 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: and I'm very fond of him because of that. And 108 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: as a receiver certainly you've gotta make your catches when 109 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: when you're targeted. So all those things, I don't say 110 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: last week, who no, I he'll be out there are planing, 111 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: so put his spot. I don't know. I don't know. 112 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: I don't know that. I mean he's he's out there 113 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: competing to make our team. So that's that's right, I 114 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: say he is. I thought he's had a good summer 115 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: and you know, he stayed healthy throughout for the most part, 116 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: and we're looking forward to him competing well on Thursday. 117 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: I think is that you haven't been down a pre 118 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: season or was that open now? I think we'll we'll 119 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: sort all that out once we get to the fifty three. 120 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: You know, we've got a lot of guys back there 121 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: working on returning punts and kicks, and we feel good 122 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: about a lot of them if if they're given given 123 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: the nod, so to speak. So we'll just see where 124 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: it's at when we hit the fifty three. I'm not sure. 125 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to draft pick. We've talked about mastering 126 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: chrisly what a fee from him? Oh, Slaton. Yeah, yeah, no, Yeah, 127 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: he's he's done a good job. You know, he's you know, 128 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: he's quietly in that interior defensive line group in terms 129 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: of conversation about him. But I think he's made good progress. 130 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: You know, he's made you know, he's made some good 131 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: plays in practice, he's had some really good reps in 132 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: the games, and um, I think he's made steady progress.
