1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Where do we stand on you know, Andrew Thomas sure

00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: is he's gonna be out there. And Andrew won't, so

00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:12,319

Speaker 1: just wasn't feeling right. Then practice yesterday, he won't make

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: the game. Will practice, We'll do a little bit more.

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: We'll see where he's at. Take it right up to

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: game time. Those are our only two people.

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: Everyone else you expect to play yourself.

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: I do you.

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: Expect the same?

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: Uh?

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: Front then with that you've had with Andrew, we axcept

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: with then coming.

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 3: Back, I do.

15
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: What are you seeing from He looked like he's yeah,

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: he's had he's had a good week. So he had

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: a good practice yesterday, feels good practice. Well, so unless

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: something happens today, counting on him, count on him being there.

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: How is his presence help your defense?

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 3: Good player for us?

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: You know, we got to get them into those situations

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: where we can utilize the skill set which does a

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: good job of rushing the passer. But we got to

24
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: we gotta play good team defense, good team football in

25
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: order to get to some of those situations.

26
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 4: Talking to Jerones and then to go with some of

27
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 4: the growing pains with young corners, what's the balance with

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 4: rookies being a little patient, but also you have a standard.

29
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

30
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: I'd say any young player, start with rookies, but even

31
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: second your guys, they have to play, and there's going

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: to be some quote unquote growing pains at times.

33
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: With any young player.

34
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: But I think as long as they're improving, you can

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: see it at practice. They get some more familiarity in

36
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: game situations. You know, they're good players. Put them into

37
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: different situations. You know, hopefully the next time they react

38
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: to a situation, whatever that may be, they learn from

39
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: it and they're able to execute it. They're better than

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: the first time that they did it. But we have

41
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in our young guys. We'll just

42
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: keep on keep on rolling along with them.

43
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: As a coach, you relish a chance to have a

44
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: long week. I mean, you went from the shortest week

45
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: you gonda just to prepare your team to have that

46
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: extra time.

47
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, whatever the weeks are, the weeks are,

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: so you get used to it as a coach. Being

49
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: in the league for as long as you do, you

50
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, if it's a short week, you get ready

51
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: a certain way. A long week, you know, you have

52
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: a couple extra days, but each week presents its own

53
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: challenge and the most important thing is is doing well,

54
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: putting together a good plan, going out there and then

55
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: playing well.

56
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 4: How do you team playing forgot Jamal Adams who that's

57
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 4: a difference maker when he plays, but you don't really

58
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: know what to expect.

59
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, you hope you have a little

60
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: bit of an idea of you know, go back when

61
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: he did play and you know the three safeties. But

62
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: you never really know Dan, so you know, you adjust

63
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: on the sideline if you need to do something a

64
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: little bit different.

65
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 3: But he's a he's a heck of a player, A

66
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 3: good Yeah.

67
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 5: How I mean do you see value in I mean

68
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 5: I know what we know from a coaching staff perspective,

69
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 5: and also you know your name captains and you have

70
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 5: your leadership quality. Is there value and guys who kind

71
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 5: of challenge each other in the locker room when you

72
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 5: guys aren't there, And just the idea of being able

73
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 5: to be a guy who's willing to step up and take.

74
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: That on his shoulders.

75
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: I think that's what you want in your team.

76
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: You want know whether you're a captain or not a

77
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: captain I think anyone.

78
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: Can be a leader. A rookie can be a leader.

79
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: They're doing their.

80
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: Job well and they communicate well. I think John Michael

81
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: is a good example of that for our football team.

82
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: He does a great job in the offensive line room

83
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: as a young player and he's only played, you know,

84
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: a few games. Anyone can be a leader, and I

85
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: think that you want player driven leadership on your team,

86
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: no question about it.

87
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: It can be your third primetime game basically in four weeks.

88
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: What do you what do you make of that? What

89
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: have you seen from it? What do you take?

90
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't play. Yeah, I just think you got.

91
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: To play well in any game in this league. So

92
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: we just play when their scheduled. Then you know, do

93
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: the best job we can do to prepare. Then ultimately

94
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: got to go out there and you know, coach and

95
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: play well.

96
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: Monday night football mean anything to you?

97
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: Like the fact that it is a you know, sort

98
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: of that prime spot.

99
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's you know, it's obviously the only

100
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: game usually there's been a couple here the last couple

101
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: of weeks. But you know, for us, we gotta we

102
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: gotta get ready to play a really good team. We

103
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: understand when it is. You know, I think that's a

104
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: great opportunity for everybody. But we got to we gotta

105
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: do a good job.

106
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 4: Walker will like start this way and bounce around. You

107
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: did your guys last year?

108
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: Like how much did you have to do it to

109
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: a lot of guys?

110
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 4: You have your guys in the backside.

111
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to practice, so you got to try

112
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: to give the best looks you can. You got to

113
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: you know, coach it and you know he can cut

114
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: it back at any time, he can bounce it out

115
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: at any time. A challenging player to defense, everybody's got

116
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: to be a gap sound and the run force has

117
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: to be good. You got to run to the ball

118
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: and you got to wrap the guy up.

119
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: For another week. How difficult is that with just kind

120
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 2: of the player that he is around him?

121
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, you want all your your best players to

122
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: be out there. But and that's why we have the

123
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: guys behind him. Have confidence in those guys. Obviously no

124
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: one is Andrew Thomas. We want Josh to be Josh,

125
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: and we've got to do a good job of you know,

126
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: coaching Josh and and and the rest of the guys.

127
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: But when you miss a you know when you're missing

128
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: a good player. Uh, that's the NFL. You gotta you

129
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: gotta be ready to go with the next guy up.

130
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: I'd say it.

131
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 1: I'd say, I'd say week to week then, but whether

132
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: it will be ready next week, I mean it's a

133
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: no no, just you know, he didn't we went through

134
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: a few little drills, didn't feel right. We took him

135
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: out right away, and just you know, we want to

136
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: make sure that the player is ready to go and

137
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: do the necessary rehab and stuff. So I'd say it's

138
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: week to week. Whether it'll be ready next week, I'm

139
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: not sure. Really weak to week.

140
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: What do you need to see from to give him

141
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: the green knight come Monday night? Yeah, Well, we'll see

142
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: how he looks today.

143
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: I think he's gotten progressively better. And then it's just

144
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: a you know, it's a talk with saquon where he's at.

145
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: It's a talk with the training staff. I think everybody's

146
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: got to be on the same page. And again, never

147
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: want to put a guy out there that's not ready

148
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: to go. So but he has gotten better.

149
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 3: I think there's a chance, but we'll see where it's at.

150
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: Do you have to test with hard cuts? You such

151
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: a hard runner?

152
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, he's done some of that out here. We'll see,

153
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: we'll get a little bit more today.

154
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 5: We've only seen him obviously in individual and some position stuff.

155
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: Has he gotten any team stuff this week?

156
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 3: We're we're working through that. So you know, he's what

157
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: we've asked him to do. He's done a good job.

158
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: With and I want to give him the benefit of

159
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: doubt all the way up to as far as we

160
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: can go.

161
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 3: What have you seen from Josh taking that spot mentioned

162
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 3: and obviously sort to work on and what are you

163
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: looking for him this week? Yeah, just to do his job.

164
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's obviously a tough position in the NFL,

165
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: but he's gotten better since we've put him in there.

166
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: Each day he feels comfortable. So just go out there

167
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: and you know, perform his responsibility to the best he can.

168
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 5: Is there's such a thing as like give us what

169
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 5: you got, Like, oh, say, Kwan can play maybe fifteen

170
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 5: to twenty snaps or you have to be able to

171
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 5: play your full workload to play.

172
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say we're just gonna let him go today,

173
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: Ryan and see where he's at and then we'll.

174
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,960

175
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm with you. I think you teach.

176
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 1: I think you take each situation different with each player

177
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: based on the injury, how they feel, what their roles are,

178
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: the responsibilities

179
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: Each each position is a little bit different
