But it's a big 34 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: step for these guys and it means a lot to them. 35 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 2: They had a really good practice. It was clean, didn't 36 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: have a lot of mistakes, didn't have a lot of 37 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: pre snap issues, didn't have anything that was you know, 38 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: out of line with the temple of the practice. Guys 39 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: are on their feet, taking care one another, still practicing, 40 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: rehearsing quickly and fast and getting things right.

All right, 43 00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: what question do you have? 44 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: Johnny had six draft pick in the defensive. 45 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: So awe you put your top two. 46 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 4: I mean, how I know it's very early, but how 47 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 4: much pencil do you think they could make an impact 48 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 4: in this Nam? 49 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know, all those guys are are 50 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: real good players. You know, the draft picks and you 51 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 2: start with Malachi and work your way right down through 52 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: and uh, we drafted all those guys for a reason. 53 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: And and they're uh, they're they're guys that have made 54 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: plays at a high level in college. You know, disruptive 55 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 2: type players, every one of them. So yeah, we'll see. 56 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: I think they can all they all gotta they all 57 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: got a shot. We'll see how they do. 58 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 5: So Emery was sidelined for I guess all the factors, 59 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 5: or at least the start of it. 60 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a little while. You know, he 61 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: had he had a labor shoulder issue that I think 62 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 2: you guys were aware of. And so when that's gonna 63 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna clear up now, you know, 64 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: probably be looking at training camp, maybe maybe earlier, but uh, 65 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: we'll just have to see how you go. So he's 66 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: not gonna practice in the immediate future. 67 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 5: You don't think many a possibility for him. 68 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: Uh, you know, I don't think we'll probably push it. 69 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: I mean, if he can do it, we'll do it. 70 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 2: But I'm not thinking about pushing it there if it's 71 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 2: if it's if it's not totally ready yet done. 72 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 6: Yesterday, you guys signed Joe Nople offensive lineman, swing swing tackle, 73 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 6: especially given in the wake of mccarrey leaving and knowing 74 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 6: how versatile he was. How nice is it to bring 75 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 6: someone in who has played I think four of the 76 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 6: five offensive line positions in doing that, and. 77 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: He's in Baltimore now, so maybe we get five out 78 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: of five, right? Uh he uh yeah, to get to 79 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: get Joseph no Boom in here, a veteran, played, talented guy, 80 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 2: played both sides. Really to focus probably as a swing 81 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: tackle as much as anything for us. I mean that's 82 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: kind of where we really really need that veteran presence 83 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: as a swing tackle play both sides, uh and then 84 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: uh yeah. He could pop down in our guard, but 85 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: I think we'll be focusing on tackle. But really big 86 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: signing for us. We're really excited to talk to him 87 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: last night. He's fired up, he's excited to be here, Luke, and. 88 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 5: It's one thing to like watch these guys on tape. 89 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: Now you're getting to see him on the field itself. 90 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 7: Well, a guy like Mike Green, what stands out when 91 00:03:59,200 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 7: you actually see. 92 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: Him, Like, yeah, you know, I think you see it. 93 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: You see it kind of up close and personal, the 94 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: explosiveness and the size.

And Mike's no different than all 104 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: the guys that way, you know, the first time through. 105 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: So it's good to see. 106 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 7: Jack you had offensive tackle this. You're a lot of turnover. 107 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 7: But next year all the tight ends and Patrick required. 108 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 7: Of course, their contracts are up after this year. How 109 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 7: much do you concern yourself with that as opposed to 110 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 7: letting you you see where. 111 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 2: At that, Well, yeah, I'll let DC worry more about 112 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: than I will. I mean, you always, it's always everything's 113 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: in the back of my mind. But it's a it's 114 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: year to year, week to week, day to day operation, really, 115 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: So we build a team for this year, one year 116 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: at a time, and then you know, d C Eric 117 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: he's got to be thinking in terms of the long 118 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 2: term with the contracts and things like that, which you know, 119 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: nobody does it better, so I'll let him worry about it. 120 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 8: Joh And I know Brandy did a lot of the 121 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 8: kicking scouting. What was it like for you, Chris and 122 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 8: the other guys to see each other live kick here? 123 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good. It was good to see it. 124 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 2: It's good to hear it, I think as much as anything, Gianna, 125 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: it's good to hear a kicker, you know, and the 126 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 2: way the ball comes off his foot is impressive. And 127 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: both kickers I thought, looked really good today. So we 128 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: got them out there behind the line of the snap 129 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: and everything, and I think they made them all, didn't they. 130 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: You guys were watching, so that's that's good to see. 131 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: So it's a good start that way. 132 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 8: John. 133 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 9: With a guy like Mike Green that plays in the trenches, 134 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 9: I know you guys aren't doing a lot. 135 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 10: Of physical stuff. 136 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 6: These days, But are you able to kind of see 137 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 6: a little bit of what you're. 138 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 5: Hope and who's with them once you he. 139 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 8: Does get it. 140 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: It's a great question, you know. It's like we tell 141 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 2: these guys, this is not practice in the sense, it's 142 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 2: not competitive, it's rehearsal. So you're really what you're what 143 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: you're competing against is your execution. We're looking for execution. 144 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: If you saw the practice, we built it from no helmets, 145 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: you know, just without without even running the play, just 146 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 2: coming up to the line of scrimmage and getting the snap. 147 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 2: Then we built it into you know, do everything fast 148 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: pre snap, but then go half speed. Then we put 149 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: the helmets on and we did it fast. But it 150 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: wasn't competitive, and that's kind of the the I guess 151 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: the ramp up we try to do. So can we 152 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: see things? Sure? Can you see everything? No, you can't 153 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: see everything. 154 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 11: Of course he did some the field to pick off 155 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 11: the back well, do anything just when it's kind of 156 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 11: playing the eye balls on him. 157 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: Did anything kind of stand out with you about him? 158 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, traits about Carson.

A lot 188 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: is a lot to who much is given, much as 189 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: much as required, and nobody understands it better than him. 190 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: Is a young guy. Really impressed with his maturity. He 191 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: broke the huddle today. That's not an easy thing to 192 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: do your first time. So uh, so far, so good. 193 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 5: We'll we'll be Would you like to see the next 194 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 5: progression for this group going forward? 195 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 10: Let's what's the next step to do? 196 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: That's a good question, Jerry. I think the next step 197 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: is probably you know, recovery and then taking what they 198 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: learned in the media is post practice out to practice 199 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: the next day and see what gets cleaned up. So 200 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: they're gonna be a little sort tomorrow. You know, they 201 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: haven't been moving in a football practice for a while. 202 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 2: Can they get back out there and repeat it, move 203 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: around and and then you know, build on today. I 204 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: think there's a gain website. You said you guys might 205 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: be having great practices. Here's anything you. 206 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 10: Can say about that? 207 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would just say, it's all up in the 208 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: air right now. If we've talked to the Buccaneers about that, 209 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: talk to the commanders about that. But the league controls 210 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: who you end up playing. So we're still waiting to 211 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: hear from the league in terms of what our preseason 212 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 2: games will actually be. I've actually talked to some other 213 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 2: coaches that we maybe could be playing to see if 214 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: they'd be interested, and there's expressed interest. So I think 215 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: we will be having joint practices. Hopefully we'll have a 216 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: day here. You just have to see if it works out. 217 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: I think he gets there with a lot of bactors 218 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 3: after the p private league set. 219 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 12: From the definite. 220 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 10: It's that dynamic. 221 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: I mean, it's giving a lot of attention on that dynamic. 222 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 3: How do you put see it time? 223 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, for. 224 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 3: Those guys to be guiled and toxifate. 225 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: To say, right, great question. 226 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 8: Yeah. 227 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: I mean, as you know, Justin's been in the building 228 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, kicking and everything, and if 229 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: you have a chance to talk a little bit, been 230 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 2: working hard. I would just say, like from a standpoint 231 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: of the investigation and all that, I mean, it's we 232 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: don't know anything. I mean we haven't been given any information, 233 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: and that as it should be. You know, it's all 234 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 2: done the way it's done, So we don't know anything 235 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 2: along those lines. So you can't make any decisions based 236 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 2: on that. Every decision we make has to be based 237 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 2: on football. There's a lot of layers to that. You know, 238 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 2: you've got a rookie kicker and here you took them, 239 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: took him in the sixth round early in the sixth round. 240 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: He's a talented guy. Uh, just from a football standpoint, 241 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,599 Speaker 2: salary cap, you know, all the different things that you 242 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: just take into consideration. Uh, whatever we decide to do 243 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: over the next few weeks will be based on football. 244 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 8: Son. 245 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 5: I think you mentioned at the end of the season 246 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 5: that maybe's a would get throughgery, would put the need 247 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 5: than anything ever coming. 248 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: In good question. It did not go to surgery. 249 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 8: Uh. 250 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 2: He actually he was doing a little dance and the 251 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 2: way you missed last week and he said he's he 252 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 2: said he's feeling great. His knees back, but he did 253 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 2: it with rehab and and yeah, he should be ready 254 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: to go. 255 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 4: The mental part is so important with the kicker position. 256 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 4: Is that something you can really evaluate. 257 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 5: In this kind of setting, or is it. 258 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 10: You know, you just kind of have to wait and 259 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 10: see l guy does in the game. 260 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, it's a good question. You probably can 261 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: evaluate it to a degree. I mean, you know, there's 262 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: pressure out here, especially when you're trying to win a job, 263 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: and you go back to when Justin won the job 264 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: how he handle it. But I don't think you're ever 265 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: going to really know until I mean, everything guys do 266 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 2: the first year is like a new day, So you know, 267 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: it's a kicker. Every kick is going to be the 268 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: first time he's done it over the course of his 269 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: rookie season, So that's always going to be a little 270 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: bit of certainly going to be an unknown if you know, 271 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: whenever you go with the rookie kicker, that would be 272 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 2: an unknown. 273 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 9: Sorry, do you fear the rookies in particular show up 274 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 9: more prepared, more better knowing their craft already because there's 275 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 9: so much more from out there and you're going from them, 276 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 9: whether be're elead eleven type of camps all the way 277 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 9: up through now, and the way that you approach and how. 278 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: You what you can do with them on day one. 279 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: You know, I think that's a great point, Pete. I 280 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: would say, yes, they are more prepared than ever for 281 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 2: whatever reason. Maybe it's coming up through high school and 282 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: you got all the camps with all the little helmets 283 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: on and all the flag football and all the passing leagues. 284 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but these guys come 285 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: in ready, and I think the college programs do a 286 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: great job of preparing them. 287 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 10: And Nebraska the start years. 288 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: See here, No, we signed him, yeah, I believe.
