After releasing 30 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 2: McSorley yesterday, you feel good about just going into the 31 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: season with two quarterbacks? 32 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: Are looking to add there?

Like, there's gonna be changes on 36 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 2: our roster and every other roster in the league, every 37 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: single team. We'll have roster transactions over the next multiple days, 38 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: including some up until the day before the opener. So 39 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: it's a process. We'll work through it. Some guys will 40 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: come back, some guys won't. You know, we require players 41 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: from another team, two players from another team. 42 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: There's multiple things going on. 43 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: So so I'm not gonna you know, common about where 44 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: we are aren't today because the process is far from 45 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 2: being over. 46 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: Right in the middle of it. Mm hmmm. 47 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 2: Filled and not all the players that you would ask 48 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 2: about who aren't here aren't necessarily. 49 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: Not going to be back here. So see how it goes. 50 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: Coach, what did you see from Tyrone Wheatley and Vagarian 51 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 3: will that making good fits in your system? 52 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, we acquired both young players. They I think they 53 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: have upside and I want to work with them. So 54 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: put I'm out there and see how it goes on. 55 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: Those two guys. 56 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: Thought, how much does your scouting report and they're coming 57 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: out of college. 58 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: Influenced the decision versus what you've seen from them in 59 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: the NFL, which probably isn't that much, right, and they haven't. 60 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: Played that right well. 61 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: Wheatley, you know, played tight end in college, so less 62 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: on him, I mean low when I played five years 63 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: at Illinois, so more on him in college. Those had 64 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: two years in the league and later snap against Tennessee 65 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: at left tackle, so some film on him. Weakly played 66 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: in pre season, so none. It's a combination of things. 67 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: We had Wheatley and for a workout last year. 68 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: I think it was. 69 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: So there's information comes from various sources, college film, college interviews, 70 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: pro film workouts, other information we've gathered along the way. 71 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 2: So the scout department does they do a good job 72 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: of it. So film wanted Bryce Bearinger kind of you 73 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: for your evaluation of the. 74 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: Drafted that you'll derives adjustment to the NFL that course lasts. 75 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 76 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: Look, I think any any young player obviously big adjustment 77 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 2: coming into the National Football League. Long way to go. 78 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 2: They've experienced some things, they'll all experience a lot more. 79 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: How they'll do and other challenges and more challenges at 80 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: any position, but especially that position in New England over 81 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: the course of the year is going to be something 82 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: they'll have to deal with, you know, So. 83 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,119 Speaker 1: We'll see. 84 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: Certainly in Michigan State there share of balmy days, as 85 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: we will, but other ones as well. So, but I 86 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: mean it's a whole different you know, everything's different. Russia 87 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: is better, the returns are better. You know, it's harder 88 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: to tenements side the you know, it's everything's harder. 89 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: So and that's true for all rookies. See how it goes, 90 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: really seen the cold strange other times. 91 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 2: Rightly to practice not just obviously expect them to practice today. 92 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, day to day. We'll see how he is today, 93 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: see how it goes the previous year. 94 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 3: We've talked about how difficult today this can be for 95 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: players who are not going to be making this team. 96 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 3: I'm wondering if you might share a little bit about 97 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: how that process goes for you and for your status 98 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: in terms of communicating that with the players one on 99 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 3: one conversations and anything you might be able to share 100 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 3: about how how challenging a day this is. 101 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, it's tough today. Uh, you know, for everyone. 102 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: We have relationships with players, some over extended period of time, 103 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: some less. 104 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, we talked about it the other day. 105 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: It's it is. 106 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 2: It's difficult for everyone. It's difficult on the relationships. But 107 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: we all knew this day was coming, and this is 108 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: part of the process. 109 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: And it's a very. 110 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: Competitive league and there's a lot of a lot of 111 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 2: very talented you know players, and they compete and not 112 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: everybody can. 113 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: You don't have a spot. So yeah, that's difficult. Again. 114 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 2: I would, as always, like I always do, caution you 115 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: about you know, thinking I things are over when they're 116 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: not necessarily over. On a lot of levels. They may 117 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: not be over here, that may not be over somewhere else. 118 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 2: Players have certainly gone left here and gone and had careers, 119 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: and players have been released by other teams and come 120 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: here the Rob Ninkovich's of the world or whatever. The 121 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: you know, tough day for him, and that's the end 122 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: of his line, and it definitely wasn't. So you know, 123 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: it's the stories aren't over here. This is one step 124 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: in the process for us and the players, and for 125 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: some it will be, for others it won't be. And 126 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 2: some players that we release will come back and play 127 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 2: for us, be on the practice squad, and some won't. 128 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: That's again, we all knew those numbers and and the 129 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: math when we started exactly what they'll be. We have 130 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 2: general ideas, so that's that's the way is every but yeah, 131 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: it's always difficult to even have to tell a player 132 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: that he's not going to be on the roster, he's 133 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: going to be on the practice squad, or he's not 134 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: gonna be here at all, or whatever it is. But 135 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: like I said, unfortunately, that's that's part of the process, 136 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 2: what we all signed up for. We knew that's what 137 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: it is, and this is one of the days that 138 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: it happens. So yeah, appreciate it. Okay, thank you. 139 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: M
