Speaker 1: That number of reps. Basically, UM, he's not going to
Speaker 1: get the full compliment of reps. We'll just we'll sprinkle
Speaker 1: him in and each each drop. Would you learn during
Speaker 1: to reevaluation? Um quite a bit actually, Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: just the overall his health, the strength of his knee. Um,
Speaker 1: you know where he's at physically. His his arm is live.
Speaker 1: You know, he hasn't had all the reps obviously that
Speaker 1: are normal, you know, like Nick has had, like Nate
Speaker 1: has had. Uh. So his arm is live and um,
Speaker 1: you know he's fresh. And that's uh, that's that's all
Speaker 1: the things that that we wanted him and where we
Speaker 1: kind of wanted him to be. You know, at this stage,
Speaker 1: has there an improvement in the knee to the point
Speaker 1: where you are now comfortable putting him back in a
Speaker 1: less controlled environment. Well again, go back to you know,
Speaker 1: um beginning a camp and some of the things I
Speaker 1: had mentioned earlier. I mean, it's all part of what
Speaker 1: the doctors have said too. So uh they're the ones
Speaker 1: that evaluate the knee. Um, I can't do that out
Speaker 1: My expertise only goes so far. But but what I
Speaker 1: can tell you is is, you know, his arm is live,
Speaker 1: he's he's moving around well, you know from the quarterback position,
Speaker 1: and and you know he's excited to get out there today.
Speaker 1: Nick Fole's status, he's fine, Yeah, he's good. He will, yeah,
Speaker 1: he will. Um, they didn't they did not. I mean
Speaker 1: they're there, I should say, I mean they didn't specifically
Speaker 1: just exam They examine him every day. It's not just
Speaker 1: one specific day, but they do examine him. And you know,
Speaker 1: this is all part of the plan to get him
Speaker 1: back into some eleven on eleven drills. Now, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be week to week with his with his knee.
Speaker 1: We'll both be full today or will he be limited?
Speaker 1: All stuff? Well, basically with he and Carson just kind
Speaker 1: of I'm gonna get both of those guys about fifty
Speaker 1: fifty today, Pump doing any chance of seeing him today
Speaker 1: or this week he's doing good, Probably not a chance
Speaker 1: this week. No, it's fifty fifty with first team reps.
Speaker 1: Carson yea, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to make sure
Speaker 1: he's he's with you know, with the starters and with
Speaker 1: the guys that when he is finally okay to play, um,
Speaker 1: that he's still got the timing with the with the starters,
Speaker 1: what is it going to be over the next few
Speaker 1: weeks to split those reps. I guess between Carson Nick
Speaker 1: as soon as I get the prepare of them. Boat. Well,
Speaker 1: we're still a training camp, so, um, we would normally
Speaker 1: in the past we've we would you know, kind of
Speaker 1: do the same thing, you know, with whether it was
Speaker 1: Carson Nick or Nick Carson, Um, you know, and so
Speaker 1: we're still still evaluating. But this is all part of
Speaker 1: the process and the plan that we've established for for
Speaker 1: Carson moving forward. Lastly, way the game is typically for
Speaker 1: which one thing. The fourth preseason game is typically for reserves,
Speaker 1: and you know we'll be to start with as the starters.
Speaker 1: But if if Carson would were to be cleared for
Speaker 1: contact before them, would you even risk putting them out
Speaker 1: there now? Um? You know, probably not. You know, we're
Speaker 1: not there yet obviously, um. And and so we're just
Speaker 1: gonna take it day by day right now. Tug, you
Speaker 1: kind of mentioned last week about when Carton is cleared
Speaker 1: for contact, needing probably a full week of practice to
Speaker 1: be comfortable, but putting them out there. Have you thought
Speaker 1: about that more? Is that same kind of plan there?
Speaker 1: I haven't thought much more about, you know, today obviously
Speaker 1: and getting them out there and you know, um, and
Speaker 1: I'll cross that bridge when when he's finally you know,
Speaker 1: finally cleared for the the actual play. But right now,
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue to evaluate him and uh and sprinkle
Speaker 1: them in when we can. Would you like to see
Speaker 1: guys like Jason Peters dinner and Sprawls um get into
Speaker 1: a game Thursday? And overall, like, how are they doing?
Speaker 1: It seems like we're all yet overall the great, They're
Speaker 1: right on, right on track, and both of them both
Speaker 1: are healthy and doing doing a nice job. I don't
Speaker 1: necessarily need to see these two guys, you know. Um,
Speaker 1: these two guys have played a ton of games, you know,
Speaker 1: and and uh, um, you know it's something you know,
Speaker 1: Sprowls has really never since I've been here, hasn't really
Speaker 1: played in a preseason game at all, you know, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Jason's very limited usually through camp. Try to
Speaker 1: get them, you know, to the regular season and then
Speaker 1: obviously keep them healthy for sixteen games. So I'm not
Speaker 1: in any hurry to see see these two guys right away.
Speaker 1: You know, they're both coming off you know, the injuries.
Speaker 1: Would you like I listen tractive practices are as hard,
Speaker 1: if not harder, than games, and so we're seeing enough
Speaker 1: in practice to know that these two guys are ready
Speaker 1: to go. I'm sure you guys are doing no advanced
Speaker 1: work in front of week one? How do you how
Speaker 1: do you go about that when you're not exactly sure
Speaker 1: where the quarterback's going to be and they you know,
Speaker 1: they obviously they like different things, So how do you
Speaker 1: how do you go about that? How do I go
Speaker 1: about planning for week one not knowing who the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: couldn't be when they like different things? But you know, UM,
Speaker 1: when we look at our schedule and look at who
Speaker 1: we're playing early in the season, you know, we look
Speaker 1: at scheme defensively, you know, from an offensive perspective, and
Speaker 1: conceptually what what we feel are going to be plays
Speaker 1: that we can execute. UM. I don't worry about the
Speaker 1: quarterback position, um as much at this time, you know,
Speaker 1: as much as just understanding the defense and that we're
Speaker 1: going to see. UM. I think so. But again it's
Speaker 1: not you know, uh, it's not Kevin cobbn, Nick Foles
Speaker 1: or uh, Mike Vick, you know what I mean? So, UM,
Speaker 1: in this case, I think it's very similar. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, I think it, Uh, it doesn't hurt
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, not to put it out there.
Speaker 1: Who's going to start right away? J Mills, Nelson? Um,
Speaker 1: Corey and Nelson are both uh, you know, sort of
Speaker 1: day to day. We'll do more next week with both
Speaker 1: of them. Um and uh, who's the third one, Oh,
Speaker 1: Jayleen Mills. Jayalen is going to do a little bit today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: more individual stuff, but keep him out of the eleven
Speaker 1: eleven watch to watch me take a lot of reps.
Speaker 1: To talk about what you've seen in terms of growth progress.
Speaker 1: He's really taken uh, some some big strides forward. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, this has been great for him this offseason,
Speaker 1: this this training camp. It's he's got a ton of
Speaker 1: reps obviously with the offense, and he's got a lot
Speaker 1: of playing time, you know, with this offense, and especially
Speaker 1: this last week, and he's done some really good things. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, I thought last week he really settled into
Speaker 1: the football game against their ones, you know, on defense
Speaker 1: for about a series a series or so, and you know,
Speaker 1: did some nice things. You gotta understand, I mean, and
Speaker 1: I got to realize too that this is really his
Speaker 1: first time, so he's almost like a rookie UM playing
Speaker 1: and and so we're still working through progressions and reads
Speaker 1: and you know, decision making and all the things that
Speaker 1: that come with young quarterbacks. And but he's very mature.
Speaker 1: He understands exactly our offense and what we're trying to
Speaker 1: get done. And um, each week there are there are
Speaker 1: some nice gains in his in his performance in a
Speaker 1: two and a half weeks since we saw Carson taking
Speaker 1: eleven on eleven. I think um, July twenty eighth was
Speaker 1: the last day. How I know he's been frustrated, Zack
Speaker 1: tells me, A listen, though he's got it all. But
Speaker 1: I'm sure he does. But he's prepared for us too.
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you balance we know how much
Speaker 1: he's wanted to do all that full team stuff. UM,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's come up to you a lot. How
Speaker 1: do you balance kind of you know, feeling what's best
Speaker 1: for him and really taking his you know, his wishes
Speaker 1: and took I'll tell you the biggest thing is just
Speaker 1: communicating with him and just saying, hey, here's the plan,
Speaker 1: and this is the way it is, and this is
Speaker 1: this is what we're sticking to. And there really hasn't
Speaker 1: been that conversation, you know, and he understands that. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, if I were in his shoes, I'd probably
Speaker 1: want to be out there too, But uh, you know,
Speaker 1: this is obviously for his health and benefit and the
Speaker 1: you know, his his progress and the longevity of his career.
Speaker 1: And so the biggest thing for me was just being
Speaker 1: you know, being honest and communicate with him upfront Thursday night.
Speaker 1: What did I make of it? What? You know? It
Speaker 1: just it wasn't big v um for whatever reason. Uh,
Speaker 1: He's definitely played better. We know exactly who he is. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, he's hard on himself like every anybody is,
Speaker 1: and and uh, um, you know there's some things he
Speaker 1: would want back obviously, but at the same time, he
Speaker 1: under he understands, uh, you know, what he needs to
Speaker 1: do to continue to get better and improve. And you know,
Speaker 1: as a as a now he's a he's a he's
Speaker 1: he's still a young player, but a player that's played
Speaker 1: a lot of football. Um, you know, he knows exactly
Speaker 1: what he needs to to do to not only fix that,
Speaker 1: but to be in a position because you know, who
Speaker 1: knows he might he might be called upon again this
Speaker 1: season and and we'll need him again, but um, you
Speaker 1: know he's done. He overall though for training camp, he's
Speaker 1: he has done a really nice job for us, and
Speaker 1: uh continues to improve with Nelson and mac all out.
Speaker 1: Where have you seen from the other wide receivers where
Speaker 1: they've done the charge? Um, yeah, Well it was good
Speaker 1: to see Mike Wallace back out there last week. Um,
Speaker 1: and keep keep him coming. I thought, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: even some of the younger guys with Chard Davis, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: DeAndre Carter, you know, both had some some a lot
Speaker 1: of plays, you know, in this last game. And and
Speaker 1: I thought they did a nice job. You know, they're
Speaker 1: still learning and understanding defense and leverage and coverage and
Speaker 1: all kinds of things. And um, they're they're getting better
Speaker 1: each and every week. And this is this is a
Speaker 1: great opportunity for them right now at this time, this
Speaker 1: time at camp. But between now and the end of
Speaker 1: the regular at the end of the preseason, with the
Speaker 1: helmet rule, we'll see at least a video or something
Speaker 1: like that. I don't think there's gonna be any kind
Speaker 1: of adjustments with it. Um, you know, from our standpoint,
Speaker 1: we just got to continue to you know, educate our
Speaker 1: players and show them, uh some of these calls, um
Speaker 1: and and just just keep talking to him. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be any thing you know
Speaker 1: that's uh, it's gonna change in the next couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, we're just something we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to deal with. Thanks guys,
