It's it's how 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: you want to play somebody. When it comes to the 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 2: real games, you know your video. There's so much video 17 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: on each team, so it's really about the fundamentals of 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: practice and getting additional film and evaluation on a number 19 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: of players that maybe are still right on the bubble. 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: And I think that that these two days, give us, 21 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: you know, give us two really good additional looks at 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 2: guys that that might be in that position. And also 23 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: for guys that are you know, frontline guys, for them 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: to you know, may not be playing as much in 25 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: the game at all, but they'll get you know, a 26 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: lot of work this week, you know, in the next 27 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: two practices. I think that's important. 28 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: Both inside linebacker Josie Jewel and guard Quinn Minors also 29 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: spoke on tomorrow's joint practice and what they hope to 30 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: get out of it. 31 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: For us is kind of like a game. I mean 32 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 3: those two practices with different people, different personnel. It's nice 33 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 3: to be able to see a new face across from 34 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: you just so you get a different look. So yeah, 35 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 3: I mean Kyatrie like game because you get a bunch 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: of different looks, me able to help you on that 37 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 3: aspect of the game and meet some new people and 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 3: try to perfect your game. 39 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 4: We're looking to have physical practices that you know, we 40 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 4: can get better at, get better at our craft. 41 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: With the Broncos first team offense and defense getting Morgan 42 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: this week versus Rams. Head coach Sean Payn talked today 43 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: about whether or not he will play starters for the 44 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: Broncos a final preseason game of this Saturday. 45 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: We certainly won't play him. If we do more than 46 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: a series, there'll be a number of guys that don't play. 47 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: But we do get this additional work which is helpful, 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: you know, particularly with you know, some of those guys 49 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: that that may not play because we just hold him back. 50 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: And looking at the Broncos second preseason game, Josie Jewel 51 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: detailed what he liked about the defense's performance, and Quinn 52 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: Miners talked about the improvement he saw from the offensive 53 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: line from Week one to week two. 54 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, defense, I thought we did pretty good. A couple 55 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: of little loose ends there, but you know, that's what 56 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: preseason for, That's what camp practices are for, and we'll 57 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: be cleaning those up. So all I could speak for 58 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 3: is when I was out there with the with the ones, 59 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 3: and I felt pretty good. But like I said, some 60 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 3: small things in which he'll be able to finish the 61 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 3: game on a right now out and be able to 62 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 3: execute when it comes down to the last couple of 63 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: minutes of the game. 64 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 4: Physicality was the biggest thing. I think you were When 65 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 4: you turn on that tape, you can tell that that 66 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 4: all of us were, you know, attacking the on of 67 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 4: scrimmage and really getting a lot of displacement. And you know, 68 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 4: like I said last time I was up here, we 69 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 4: want to call as many runs as possible, so I think, 70 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 4: you know, we should have showed that this week. 71 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Now joining me you're inside the Broncos podcast studio is 72 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: Broncos lead writer Eric Dlala. Eric coach switched some things 73 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: up today. The practice was inside for the players and 74 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: it was great to see, you know, a ton of 75 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: players return to practice today. We saw Justin Simmons, Mike McGlinchey, 76 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: Chris Manhertz, Brandon Johnson. 77 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 5: Taylor Beatty. 78 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: I don't think I missed anyone else. They all returned 79 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: to practice, So good day for the Broncos all round. 80 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, those guys have obviously been out for a while, 81 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 5: especially McGlinchey of Justin Simmons, a couple of big starters, 82 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 5: potentially a couple of the most valuable players on the 83 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 5: entire team that have and out for at least a 84 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 5: couple of weeks. Sounded like they were still limited in 85 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 5: their practice scope and they're going to evaluate whether or 86 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 5: not they participate in joint practices coming up here this week. 87 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 5: But nice to see those guys out here. Obviously, we're 88 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 5: getting closer to the regular season. You've got this week 89 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 5: the week after before you finally go into a game week. 90 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 5: So good to let these guys get back, knock the 91 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 5: rust off a little bit and be ready to go. 92 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 5: Dealt with injuries a little bit here over the last 93 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 5: few weeks, but reinforcements have arrived, it seems. 94 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: Like, Yeah, definitely. And it was also alumni day out 95 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: here at practice, so there was a ton of former 96 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: players here to watch practice and Drew Brees was in 97 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: the building, so pretty cool. 98 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was cool. Yeah, from an alumni standpoint. Sean 99 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 5: Payton talked after practice about how those guys are the 100 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 5: lifeblood of the organization. They've made it what it is. 101 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 5: They they've built the foundation here, so for the Broncos 102 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 5: to welcome them back, and that's an important thing to 103 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 5: this ownership group. It's an important thing it's always been 104 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 5: to this organization. And you know, Sean Payton talked to 105 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 5: the team about kind of how the alumni have made 106 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 5: the Broncos into what they are, so nice to have 107 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 5: them out here. Obviously, we see our friend Steve Attwater 108 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 5: every day, but nice to see some other lums who 109 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 5: drop by. And then Drew Brees, I guess his brother 110 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 5: lives in Centennial, so he was in the area. Cool 111 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 5: to see him standing out there with Sean Payne and 112 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 5: Joe Lombardi and Russell Wilson and unclear if he talked 113 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 5: about the offense at all or offered any tips. But 114 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 5: when you've got a future Hall of Famer out of practice, 115 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 5: everybody takes notice. 116 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, Eric, So overall, what did you just think 117 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: about practice today? It kind of seemed like a ramp 118 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: up period as you know, the Rams come to town tomorrow. 119 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, I would agree Sean Payton talks about this is 120 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 5: the last kind of Broncos practice. Tomorrow they'll get into 121 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 5: joint practices with the Rams that'll be a little bit 122 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 5: more intense. You know, this was not a fully padded practice, 123 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 5: clearly working on things, a lot of special teams, emphasis 124 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 5: situational things that that's sort of a type of practice. 125 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 5: But you know, still good. You know, I had an 126 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 5: off day yesterday, so good for the guys to come 127 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 5: back in and get back into gear ahead of these 128 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 5: joint practices and still still a lengthy practice. You know, 129 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 5: they were out there for more than a couple of hours, 130 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 5: so I still getting the work in, but certainly it'll 131 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 5: ramp up here on Wednesday and Thursday. 132 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, what are your expectations for the joint practices over 133 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: the next two days. 134 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll be fun. I mean, you get a chance 135 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 5: to go against a team that is well coached, Sean McVay, 136 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 5: good quarterback. You know, this is a team that obviously 137 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 5: struggled last year, but is in general a really successful organization, 138 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 5: one that you can, I think, get some good work 139 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 5: in against. It's going to give the offensive line a 140 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 5: chance to go against a talented defensive line. You know, 141 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 5: we'll see if Aaron Donald participates. It sounds like he's 142 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 5: probably gonna hang back in LA. But overall, just what 143 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 5: energy do the Broncos bring. That's what joint practices are 144 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 5: often about. It's not about the skill of the team necessarily. 145 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 5: It's not kind of a full game. It's just a 146 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 5: few reps at a time. So which team wants it more? 147 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 5: Which team brings that intensity the passion Quinn Miners talked about, Hey, 148 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 5: that's starts with the offensive line up front setting the tone. 149 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 5: Denver took a good step I thought against San Francisco 150 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 5: in terms of the things the team was able to 151 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 5: do out there. You want to see them continue that 152 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 5: progress against the Rams and not take a step backwards. 153 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 6: Yeah. 154 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: Looking ahead two Saturday's final preseason game, Eric, I know 155 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: Sean Payne said that, you know, starters may play a 156 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: little bit, may not play at all. You know, since 157 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: they're getting you know a lot of work in this 158 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: week with the Rams, you know, first team units. Sounds 159 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: like Sean said maybe if they do play, it'll be 160 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: one series or two kind of thing. 161 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no more than one series. And you know, 162 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 5: these guys have gotten some good work here through the 163 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 5: first two preseason games. And it's interesting to see across 164 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 5: the league. Some teams have not played their starters at all, 165 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 5: and they're going to play them an extended them out 166 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 5: in Week three. Some teams like the Roncas have played 167 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 5: their starters the first two weeks. Maybe they're not going 168 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 5: to do as much this final week. Sean Payne did mention, hey, 169 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 5: there's a chance we hold some guys out. It really 170 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,559 Speaker 5: wouldn't surprise me. Said if if you get good work 171 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 5: in on Wednesday and Thursday and you're happy about where 172 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 5: you are. I could see a bunch of guys being 173 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 5: held out. Maybe you don't risk it makes sense certainly 174 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 5: you don't want to play like a Russell Wilson, right 175 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 5: if you're not going to play your entire starting offensive 176 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 5: line because you want him to be safe out there 177 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 5: and protected and then you know, if you get that 178 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 5: good work in just is it worth the risk to 179 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 5: some of these guys people coming back from injury. We'll 180 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 5: see how it plays out, but certainly it doesn't sound 181 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 5: like if there is some action for the starters like 182 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 5: it's going to be very much, which is a good 183 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 5: thing for everybody else. Right, Because John Payton talked about 184 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 5: the backup offensive lineman, there's still spots to be kind 185 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 5: of jostled before on the roster there we're playing time 186 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 5: for them exactly. We know that, you know, across the 187 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 5: roster there's guys where they're fighting for a spot on 188 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 5: this team. So they'll get some extended action and a 189 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 5: chance to prove, hey, I belong on this roster for sure. 190 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: Eric, you mentioned Quinn Minors earlier, heard him, you know, 191 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: talk earlier in the show about the improvement he saw 192 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: from the offensive line. From first preseason game to the 193 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: second one. For you, what did you really think about 194 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: their improvement there? 195 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was better. I thought Quinn Minors is right. 196 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 5: There's a better sense of physicality. I think for a 197 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 5: guy like Garpowles, obviously shaking a little bit of the 198 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 5: rest off, having that second outing is important. They're still 199 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 5: playing without Mike McGlinchey. But good, good push in the 200 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 5: run game, I mean more than I think more than 201 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 5: six yards per carry they average. And then you talk 202 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 5: about Russell Wilson, he I thought he had a little 203 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 5: bit more time and even when he did escape and 204 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 5: take off and run, it was you know, it was clean. 205 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 5: He was able to get out and to make those plays, 206 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 5: and the pocket wasn't collapsing instantly. He was able to 207 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 5: stand in there a couple of times. I thought it 208 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 5: was a step forward. Obviously, you've got to do it 209 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 5: consistently right, and you've got to keep that physicality that 210 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 5: you know, aggressive mindset. But yeah, I think in terms 211 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 5: of what we saw against Arizona and what we saw 212 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 5: against San Francisco, it was it was night and day. 213 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 5: And as Sean Payton said, he was happy with how 214 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 5: they looked. 215 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: You know, Another guy that stepped up big, you know 216 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: from Week one to week two in the preseason is 217 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: insidelinebacker Drew Sanders. I know Sean Payton said he had 218 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: a huge improvement. We heard Josie Jewel talk about that 219 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: as well. What did you like about what you saw 220 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: from him? 221 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a It's a contribution on both special teams 222 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 5: and defense, which is going to be important for him 223 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 5: as a rookie. Probably not a guy that's going to 224 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 5: play exclusively on defense, right with Alex Singleton and Josie 225 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 5: Jewel ahead of him. If he gets defensive snaps, I 226 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 5: would think it'd probably be in some sort of sub package. 227 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 5: We've heard Advance Joseph say they're going to use him 228 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 5: in ways that people haven't seen yet. So we'll have 229 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 5: to wait and see what that looks like. But contributing 230 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 5: on special teams is the path to the field for 231 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 5: a lot of these guys, in the path to a 232 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 5: jersey on game day. Obviously, he's a big guy, he's fast. 233 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 5: We've heard Advance say he can make a play every 234 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 5: day that nobody else can make. Those are high compliments 235 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 5: and we've seen the progression a little bit sounds like 236 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 5: it's slowing down for him a little bit. Josie Jewell 237 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 5: talking about him making the reads and knowing what to 238 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 5: do out there. It's a steep learning curve for any rookie, 239 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 5: and especially when you're in the center of that defense. 240 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 5: But it seems like he's making progress and I'm excited 241 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 5: to see what he does. I would assume he would 242 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 5: play this weekend, so excited to see what he does 243 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 5: out there. 244 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, me too. 245 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: Well, should be a fun couple of days here with 246 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: the Rams coming to town for some joint practices and 247 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: then final preseason game. 248 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 5: So that's right, we're almost done with the preseason. 249 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, we are great. 250 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 5: See well. 251 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: Appreciate you coming on the show, Eric, you got it. 252 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: We also heard from running back Jo wil McLaughlin today, 253 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: as the undrafted rookie has had a great training camp 254 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: in preseason is so far. He talked about his mindset 255 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: and the journey he took to get to where he 256 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: is today. 257 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 6: I'm gonna keep taking it day by day. 258 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 7: And uh oh, it's no matter how big or you know, 259 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 7: how high or how low you get in life, you 260 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 7: never done enough, you know, And so that's why that's 261 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 7: what I'm taking it day by day, and I'm just 262 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 7: gonna keep like I said, I know I sound like 263 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 7: a broken record, but I'm just gonna keep working. That's 264 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 7: just what I'm But like I said, you know, there's 265 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 7: been games where I've had a great game and I 266 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 7: come home to nothing. 267 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 6: I come home to to, like I said, sleeping in 268 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 6: the car. 269 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 7: So that's why I said, I don't never get too 270 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 7: high and never get too low because the unexpected can happen. 271 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,359 Speaker 6: So that's why I just said, I'm gonna. 272 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 7: Just keep keep my head down and keep trying to 273 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 7: do whatever I can for the team, because, like I said, 274 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 7: these guys they really believe in me. 275 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 6: They work hard for me.
