Speaker 1: I mean it's I mean, it's it's obvious. You know,

27
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: the guys that have worked yesterday, and you know, as

28
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: far as how we're going to play him, I mean,

29
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: it's a lot of it has to do and how

30
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: they play, so um, you know we'll be we'll be

31
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: somewhere in the area of eight or nine defensive lineman available.

32
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: I know you're alucted to place Chauncey because he only

33
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: had that one kind of practice, but how does he

34
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: look now that he's gotten a couple more days of war.

35
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I really liked the combination of last week's

36
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: work and this week's worked for Chauncey. I thought he

37
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: had a really good day yesterday in pads. So he's

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: making a lot of progress and you know, hopefully we'll

39
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: see how you know, the work wraps up tomorrow. But

40
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: I thought, so far, so good. Nine John said again,

41
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: please by night is easy in the rotocols that close

42
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: contact or I'll answer this for the last time Bradley

00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: and I was in the protocol, but yes, he did

44
00:02:52,800 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: test positive. Any change in uh, Donovan us his status

45
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: for practice today? Well, we're doing the jog through today,

46
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: so I mean he'll participate, We'll really I think tomorrow

47
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: will be the big day for Donald. What do I

48
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: need to have to do for him tomorrow? Mine? And

49
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: he's made so much time here, what do you need

50
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: to see from him? Well, today's you know, we're on

51
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: a Friday schedule, so today we'll have the jog through

52
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: and just in general, I think just like last week,

53
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: he would he would need to practice tomorrow to be

54
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: available for Monday night doing those stepbacks with him, right

55
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: or is it just progression of his healing? I would

56
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: say it's more the progression of his healing, and you

57
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: know just where he is as far as the rehab

58
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: work with britt Brown, so you know as they continue

59
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: to work through it. Um So every day you get

60
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: to report at the end of the day and we'll

61
00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: just see how it goes next two days. My question

62
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: tomorrow like, uh, what do you guys when you're done

63
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: with your your practice? Small do you guys look at

64
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: games d you just focus though on Philadelphia if you

65
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: started looking ahead to Carolina stuff, How do you guys

66
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: look at tomorrow as a coaching staff? As a coaching staff,

67
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: you know, we'll start today with our our preparation for Carolina.

68
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: After the players conclude, uh, you know, the players, we

69
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: go from eleven o'clock to twelve fifteen and the jog

70
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: through it and the players have to stay program for

71
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: two hours. On the coaching staff, we'll have a staff meeting,

72
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: then we'll move on to you know, the pre planning

73
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 1: for Carolina both today and again tomorrow and again Monday morning.

74
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: And is this where Ben mcadou's influence. That is that

75
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: kind of what he's doing, He's like a set ahead

76
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: of everything for you are on both time of the ball. Yeah, definitely.

77
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: Ben's done a great job, not only with the advanced scouting,

78
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: but some some other projects along the way. So it's

79
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: it's a tremendous resource that we have here. But he

80
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: does that weekly. So frankly, Ben's already ready for Caroline

81
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: and he's he's starting to move on to the Giants.

82
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: How integral has advanced scouting been this first two weeks

83
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: of the season. The way you guys particular and often

84
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: adapted to anticipated what the defense is going to do

85
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: when adapted accordingly, how much the factor that being scaled

86
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: in that. I think vance scouting is very important. I

87
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: think our personnel department does a really nice job of,

88
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, giving us the you know, the scouting report

89
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: of actually what goes on, and you know in the

90
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: last game on Sunday, so you know we'll get that

91
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: on Monday. Frankly, actually we'll do that Tuesday this week.

92
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: But you know, between the personnel department and you know

93
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: that you know exactly the old break you know, the

94
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: old breakdown that they do in a new one, and

95
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: then you had Ben's mcdow's work to that. So I

96
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: feel like it's been very helpful for us. We think

97
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: about why I'm understaging with go ahead, who's please repeat

98
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: understanding that you reach a point of critical math at

99
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: some point with injuries, But like with what you're dealing

100
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: with on the defensive line, now, you you really stress

101
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: into your personnel versatility, guys who can play different positions,

102
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: different packages. Is this part of the reason why you

103
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: feel you're better able to weather these on a game

104
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: to game basis, if you face with with the profile

105
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: and player you're getting defensively out definitely. I mean position

106
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 1: flexibility is critical, um, you know, especially not only for injuries,

107
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: but you know, the game plan, matchups and you know

108
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: what you're trying to present the opponent each and every week.

109
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: So it's definitely helpful with the particular situation that we're

110
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: in with the number of injuries up front. So you know,

111
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: I think the coaches and players have done a great

112
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: job of just rolling through the changes. And frankly, it's

113
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: it's opportunities for new people and uh, you know, the

114
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: practice structure and environment hasn't changed. I was very pleased

115
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: with you know, both practices this week, and you know,

116
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: and it's it's something that you you know, we're get

117
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: We have more of it the first three weeks than

118
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: you like. But I think our players would handled very well,

119
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: and you know, definitely for what's in front of us too.

120
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a big time game,

121
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: this is a division game. You know, it's it's you know,

122
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: we're expecting a heck of a contest, you know, Monday night,

123
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: and you know, I know our fans are going to

124
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: be ready to go rocking and rolling, and so you

125
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: know our team will be ready when we kick it

126
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: off Monday. When you think about all that, if you

127
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: had last year your division record, I'm sure it wasn't

128
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: what you like. It like for it to be now

129
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: like we established itself might be not as you know

130
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: what we can handle our business now in the division.

131
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: Really haven't thought about last year. I mean, last year

132
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: was an experience that we were able to you know,

133
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: uls in our research and development phase during the off season.

134
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: And you know, we're we're a new team, they're a

135
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: new team, they've got a new staff. Uh, you know,

136
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: we're trying to project you know, you know what we

137
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: think they're gonna try to challenge us with. But at

138
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we're you know, really starting today,

139
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: we're really focused on what we need to do to

140
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: be successful. And um, you know, so far, the prep

141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: has been good. You know, preparation puts a position to

142
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: have a have a good start to the game. But

143
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, we got two weeks under our belt where

144
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: we've done a really good job at justin throughout the

145
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: football game. So we need to we need to be

146
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: in the same mindset again Monday, night, especially with the

147
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: anticipation of unscotted looks and competing against a new coaching

148
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: staff with different What you think of Layton's quick mike?

149
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: What do you think of Layton's coverage ability um against

150
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: running back tight ends and things that you want to

151
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: do with that at that spot. I think Layton does

152
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: a heck of a job, you know. I think, just

153
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: once again, I think position flexibility is you know something.

154
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: His ability to play different positions is a great communicator,

155
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: So I think he's definitely a good matchup for us.

156
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: What difference is that he's seen in CD's play strength

157
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: and specifically how then might show up after the catch

158
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: or with the blocking. I think CD is stronger than

159
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: he was last year. I think, you know, he's playing

160
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: with more confidence. He's definitely more familiar with what we're

161
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: asking him to do, and I think it's a very

162
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: strong connection with Dak Prescott. Thank you,
