Speaker 1: So, UM, I'm gonna just congratulate him and all that
Speaker 1: he does. I mean, I think that's a special honor
Speaker 1: for him. Um. So let's go what's that. Um, let's
Speaker 1: go through the injury list. Um this week. Um, these
Speaker 1: guys will definitely miss Wednesday's practice. So Alan Barbery, Uh,
Speaker 1: it's got the right hamstring strain. Um, it's a grade one.
Speaker 1: I should be okay for the game, but we'll hold
Speaker 1: him out of Wednesday's practice. Brent Selik, Um, just a stinger. Um,
Speaker 1: he'll be he'll be fine, but we'll hold him precautionary. UM.
Speaker 1: On on Wednesday. John dorm boss, as you know, I
Speaker 1: had to had to wrist. Uh. He he did have
Speaker 1: surgery on it. Uh last night after the game. And UM,
Speaker 1: he's definitely out. I are you know he's he's he's
Speaker 1: done for the seasons. It's gonna be a Uh. He's
Speaker 1: one of the one of the leaders of the team.
Speaker 1: So he's he's definitely gonna be missed. Um. Wendell has
Speaker 1: a right knee MCL sprain. It's grade two. Um. Again,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a it's a lengthy injury.
Speaker 1: So much like a big v's injury there. Um, so
Speaker 1: we'll have to we'll see what we'll do there. Darren's
Speaker 1: prowles obviously with the concussion, he's in a protocol, so
Speaker 1: we'll monitor that day to day. Matt Tobin left knee
Speaker 1: MCL sprain. It's a Grade two as well. Happened on
Speaker 1: the next to last play of the game. Uh. Of
Speaker 1: course in Big V. Big V's doing better. We anticipate
Speaker 1: probably uh uh here in the near future getting him
Speaker 1: back obviously. UM, I'm not sure about this week, but
Speaker 1: we'll see. We'll see where he's at. And then Jaylen
Speaker 1: Watkins has a it's on his left hand, the fourth finger,
Speaker 1: uh tendon. He rubbed the tendon in that finger. So
Speaker 1: that's another one that we uh, he'll have an MRI
Speaker 1: and see where he's at. On that so lengthy, lengthy list.
Speaker 1: Brandon Brooks, DGB, Jordan Matthews, they'll all be good to
Speaker 1: go for for Wednesday. You find out further what is
Speaker 1: the issue with Brandon Brooks in terms of his illnesses.
Speaker 1: We have not yet. That's something we're gonna continue to
Speaker 1: explore today with him, um and uh and just see
Speaker 1: I you know, UM, it's obviously unfortunate but we need
Speaker 1: to we need to get to the bottom of it
Speaker 1: and and just find out why history of missing games
Speaker 1: through the illnesses on the actual day of the game.
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily actually, I mean it's happened on the
Speaker 1: actual day of the game. Um, he has had there
Speaker 1: is a little bit of history there, but something we
Speaker 1: have to our medical team will do more to investigate
Speaker 1: this thing as we go. Ever, has you ever had
Speaker 1: this on a non game day since he's been here
Speaker 1: with you guys, as far as I know, No, No, yeah,
Speaker 1: like at what point, both both times in the morning.
Speaker 1: Actually it was the day of the game. In the
Speaker 1: morning of the game. Yeah, I'm usually in the office,
Speaker 1: so my my phone rings a thirty nine o'clock eight,
Speaker 1: you know, him in the morning and usually talking to
Speaker 1: Padozzi and and going that rap. We have to give
Speaker 1: sam Allow reps every week now, not really knowing what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen week to week, which we do anyway. As
Speaker 1: far as Isaac getting reps, we do put him in
Speaker 1: there and get reps, just like Toben. We put Tobin
Speaker 1: in there to get reps. Um we give Whizz Center reps,
Speaker 1: you know, So we do that during the week anyway. Uh,
Speaker 1: just for you know, if some were to get nicked
Speaker 1: up in the game. Yes, yes, for the two minute
Speaker 1: morning I'm coming time out wasn't called there trying to
Speaker 1: get them to run another play before the free stoppage
Speaker 1: time out there before the halftime last series half time
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. Oh well at the
Speaker 1: time the we had would we had we had one left? Yeah,
Speaker 1: one left. Um. The conversations that we had into thinking there, um, basically, UM,
Speaker 1: if if they were to be I was going to
Speaker 1: use it on third down. It's when I said, I
Speaker 1: believe it was second down at the time they were
Speaker 1: going to run a play, um, and then I was
Speaker 1: going to use it on third down. Uh and save
Speaker 1: the time in that situation. Um. You know. Unfortunately they
Speaker 1: you know, they scored with a minute and fifty three,
Speaker 1: and it really in that case it did benefit because
Speaker 1: now we had time and timeouts, um to put a
Speaker 1: two minute drive together. What's the planet at long snamber?
Speaker 1: And also, how does Wendell's injury kind of affect you
Speaker 1: guys are brunning back because seem like he was coming on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Winnendell is definitely going to be Um, you know, missed
Speaker 1: obviously because he was he was definitely having having a
Speaker 1: good a good season and helping us along the way. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, ken Yon obviously was down. So Kenyon will
Speaker 1: definitely be active, uh, you know going forward along with Ryan,
Speaker 1: and then we'll see where Darren is at the end
Speaker 1: of the week. We do have Byron Marshall you know,
Speaker 1: on our practice squad, so that's obviously a possibility later
Speaker 1: in the week of maybe activating him as well. Um,
Speaker 1: and then getting back to John. Uh, well, we'll have
Speaker 1: to uh um, probably bring in some guys today tomorrow,
Speaker 1: work out some guys and and uh and try to
Speaker 1: try to get along Snapper in here with the team
Speaker 1: in the camp. But he's he's one of the guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll be one of the guys when you when you
Speaker 1: guys are and is it mental that I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's something that our medical team will dive into and
Speaker 1: try to find out. How how difficult is it to
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys played thirteen games, he's missed two
Speaker 1: of them. How difficult is it to kind of week
Speaker 1: by week not know if you can have your right guard. Well,
Speaker 1: it's it can be a challenge. Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: think for us as coaches and as a staff, by
Speaker 1: giving Isaac, you know, these reps during the week, it
Speaker 1: definitely prepares for anything. It's it's obviously no different if
Speaker 1: he were to go down with injuries, saying the first
Speaker 1: quarter and he's got to go play. Um, it is
Speaker 1: a difficult situation, but at the same time, we feel
Speaker 1: comfortable with Isaac and giving him the time during the
Speaker 1: week to be ready and uh handle the situation. So
Speaker 1: it's a Saturday night, there was no indication that Lanny
Speaker 1: wasn't feeling well. Anything's dad injury. Oh he was fine
Speaker 1: at the meetings and and uh, you know everything was good.
Speaker 1: The why all sixty ends up a Sunday, Well, UM,
Speaker 1: I felt like we could we could use you know,
Speaker 1: Stephen Means has been has been a big part of
Speaker 1: you know, our service team during the week. Uh. He's
Speaker 1: a guy that we feel like has a has a
Speaker 1: you know, bright future. He's a he's a UM he's
Speaker 1: an energetic guy, brings a lot of energy, a lot
Speaker 1: of juice to that to that D line. And it's
Speaker 1: another way of of uh, you know, keeping guys fresh
Speaker 1: during the game and just one extra guy that that
Speaker 1: uh can give um can give guys, you know, the
Speaker 1: added rest they need during the game. About yesterday and
Speaker 1: what before him on I spoke to him this morning,
Speaker 1: mh you know, UM, he definitely wants to explore, um,
Speaker 1: you know the reasons why, you know, and if we
Speaker 1: can help him. I want to. I want to help
Speaker 1: him make sure it doesn't happen again again. I medically,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I'm not Brandon, so I
Speaker 1: can't speak for him. UM, but something we gotta we
Speaker 1: gotta get to the bottom of it and help him
Speaker 1: as a as a as an athlete. Pretty I just
Speaker 1: said that that Sprawls took. I mean, did you get
Speaker 1: to talk to him afterwards? What was he? You know?
Speaker 1: What kind of state was he? M? What do you what?
Speaker 1: Do you know? I talked to him when he was
Speaker 1: obviously conscious coming off the field. Um, you know he was.
Speaker 1: He was fine at that point obviously, but he had
Speaker 1: to go into the protocol, um, you know, and and
Speaker 1: that's where he's at. So UM, that's all I can
Speaker 1: really speculate on that. You know, one Brandon, did he
Speaker 1: report to the stadium with any plan of playing or
Speaker 1: was determined before he arrived at the stadium. Oh no,
Speaker 1: he was. He was playing, you know, and he was
Speaker 1: there at the stadium, you know, ready to go, you
Speaker 1: know when all this happened warm ups at all. No, No,
Speaker 1: it looked on film like it was illegal. You know,
Speaker 1: kind of got him kind of right in the shoulder
Speaker 1: helm and across. Yeah, the the interception of Wentz's first
Speaker 1: to earth what was supposed to happen on that play
Speaker 1: and you just you know, again it's something where uh
Speaker 1: in that case, Uh, I need to communicate really to
Speaker 1: to to Zach just just anticipate that the coverage there
Speaker 1: in that situation. Just um, I'll do a better job
Speaker 1: of coaching him on that. It was just a quick
Speaker 1: little um slant um and uh just uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Carson had he there was one extra guy coming. Uh.
Speaker 1: Kelsey did a great job of holding two guys off
Speaker 1: and giving him some time. And you know, I just
Speaker 1: got to make sure our guys are better prepared for
Speaker 1: those looks in those situations. Yesterday, well we had Stephen up,
Speaker 1: you know, and uh we put Camu down, so again
Speaker 1: wanted to have that added the added pass rusher. You said,
Speaker 1: Tobin got hurt on the next the last play of
Speaker 1: the game. Did you know he was injured on that
Speaker 1: final play and why not give him some help against Kargan?
Speaker 1: If so? I did not, uh honestly did not know
Speaker 1: that he was He was injured on the play before
Speaker 1: there was a pile and you know he came out
Speaker 1: of the bottom of the pile, but didn't didn't see anything,
Speaker 1: um at that time on the last play. Um, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's there's that would definitely be it. Had I known,
Speaker 1: maybe I could have done something with with our back
Speaker 1: or a tight end over there. The thing is, Matt
Speaker 1: did a great job that whole drive blocking him and
Speaker 1: and a lot of times they were they were line gaming,
Speaker 1: they were stunting, and he would Karrigan was coming inside.
Speaker 1: It just so happened on that last one that he
Speaker 1: was a little bit wider and and obviously on film,
Speaker 1: you know, Matt just an unfortunate situation, just couldn't push
Speaker 1: off the knee. Well saw upstairs you know that that
Speaker 1: he was hobbled after that previous play. Is there some
Speaker 1: process where one of your guys upstairs is keeping an
Speaker 1: eye on that or um, I mean and can communicate
Speaker 1: that to you guys. Yeah, I mean, we're always looking
Speaker 1: for you know, for those situations and for those uh um,
Speaker 1: those things. I mean, you know obviously we didn't we
Speaker 1: didn't catch it, you know, and then we gotta be
Speaker 1: as coaches, we gotta be a little more in tune
Speaker 1: to that, and then if we uh, if we see it,
Speaker 1: we can either substitute or or help him. I mean,
Speaker 1: what were your obs? You're just basically down to one
Speaker 1: guy anyway, Andrews, you see all the guy left right,
Speaker 1: how would you have handled that? If you haven't had
Speaker 1: a chance to he probably not back. Well, we would
Speaker 1: have bumped Isaac out and put Josh Andrews a guard.
Speaker 1: That would have been that would have been the scenario,
Speaker 1: all the guys banged up on the Olne and Brooks
Speaker 1: kind of being an unknown. Um, you are you gonna
Speaker 1: need to make any roster moves and Big V you're
Speaker 1: not sure if he'll be available Sunday? So are you
Speaker 1: gonna need to add anybody? Or you okay with what
Speaker 1: you have? Well, um, you know we're looking at all
Speaker 1: that today. Um. You know, well we'll uh definitely with
Speaker 1: with Matt Tobin. Um, you know we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: you know, we still have Dylan Gordon and but there's
Speaker 1: gonna be probably um opportunity to to work out some
Speaker 1: guys and bring some guys in, and and and and
Speaker 1: try to try to fill those spots. You know, obviously
Speaker 1: just be with with John in this situation. So, UM,
Speaker 1: the next couple of days will be big days for us.
Speaker 1: It's been sacked eleven times and hit almost forty times.
Speaker 1: Will the last four games? It might also will be
Speaker 1: bolned issues. UM and the fact that you're essentially out
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, do you have to even do more
Speaker 1: to protect your franchise quarterback? Um? Yeah, those are things
Speaker 1: to consider these next couple of weeks. But by no
Speaker 1: means do we want to hamper any kind of uh,
Speaker 1: you know, aggressiveness on offense. Um. If we need to
Speaker 1: use backs and tight ends, well we'll consider doing that
Speaker 1: a little bit more, um, as we do as we
Speaker 1: go starts on on this team. It's it's a bout
Speaker 1: those six years now about the playoffs. It looks like,
Speaker 1: what's the measures to them in the spine re using
Speaker 1: the season when it's obviously unlikely that that there's a
Speaker 1: BLOS season. Well, I think if they just if they
Speaker 1: just look at yesterday's game and really how um, how
Speaker 1: well you know they played that. Were there mistakes, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there were mistakes and there were some costly red zone
Speaker 1: turnovers and all of that. But the effort, the energy,
Speaker 1: the chant, the fact that, uh, with everything that's gone on,
Speaker 1: um this season, the fact that they were in that
Speaker 1: game to the end, um, and then and then having
Speaker 1: another offseason, having another draft, going through free agency again
Speaker 1: bringing in some more you know, some more competition to
Speaker 1: help at every spot. Um. I think that they if
Speaker 1: they look at that and then that's the message, then um,
Speaker 1: then when then we're gonna be okay When you look
Speaker 1: at a guy like like Riot means, you know, hides
Speaker 1: up in the ups and downs this season like yesterday
Speaker 1: four cost break ups, but also you know, gave up
Speaker 1: the long touchdown to de Sean. But like, what does
Speaker 1: it say about his resiliency? It keeps seems to keep fighting.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you know for for it's it's his resiliency
Speaker 1: is unbelievable because he's he's usually been on this report
Speaker 1: for most of the season, you know, and he's been
Speaker 1: fat fighting that that injury and I go and bite
Speaker 1: you going out to practice every day and and uh,
Speaker 1: um battling to practice, you know, making sure he's ready
Speaker 1: to go. And you know, at this time of the season,
Speaker 1: I think he's finally he's finally healthy, you know. Um,
Speaker 1: And and it was it was really good too. I
Speaker 1: was happy for him yesterday to get that that interception
Speaker 1: obviously for the touchdown and and uh a couple of
Speaker 1: PBUs and and you know you've seen teams kind of
Speaker 1: go after um and go towards him a little bit
Speaker 1: more than the last couple of weeks. But he really,
Speaker 1: he really hung in there yesterday and did a nice job.
Speaker 1: He rose to the occasion. And obviously Deshawn's a you know,
Speaker 1: he's a great receiver. We got a lot of speed
Speaker 1: and and just got you know, just got beat. It
Speaker 1: was just a one on one and got beat. So um,
Speaker 1: those things are going to happen. But uh uh he's
Speaker 1: been he's been a bright spot here towards the end
Speaker 1: of the season. To be a spoiler over the last
Speaker 1: over the next few weeks, is that something that you're
Speaker 1: related to the guys and he is that something that
Speaker 1: that one more time the chance to be a spoiler.
Speaker 1: Um for some teams making the playoffs, is that something
Speaker 1: you guys can kind of get behind or yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I just want our guys to go out and compete
Speaker 1: and play hard every week. Um, spoiler or not. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, um, technically, if you look at it mathematically,
Speaker 1: we're not out of it. But um, but I think
Speaker 1: I think if we just go and learn from yesterday
Speaker 1: and knowing that they can play this well, the beauty
Speaker 1: of it would have been. I mean, had we pushed
Speaker 1: through and won that game yesterday, what it does for
Speaker 1: the psyche of the team, what it does for young quarterback,
Speaker 1: young players, I think speaks volumes. But the fact that
Speaker 1: you know, we took it right to the basically the
Speaker 1: last play of the game also speaks volumes to this team.
Speaker 1: And um, you know a lot of times in this situation,
Speaker 1: you you take less stress off yourself and you really perform.
Speaker 1: You know, Sometimes it creates a loose environment. Players are
Speaker 1: a little more loose and not necessarily in there and
Speaker 1: they're planning, but in the in the way they play
Speaker 1: sometimes and the energy levels high and they feed off yesterday.
Speaker 1: And and because I've been on a couple of teams
Speaker 1: where we've been out of it, but we actually play
Speaker 1: our best football at the end of the game because
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, the psyche of it is, you know,
Speaker 1: you go out and you just you just enjoy playing
Speaker 1: and playing with your with your guys. So um, that's
Speaker 1: kind of going to be the message these next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks and and um, you know, we've still got
Speaker 1: three left and we're gonna we're gonna get ready for
Speaker 1: these three would be a candidate well of besides dorm Boss.
Speaker 1: I mean when Delle, Matt, and Jalen would be the
Speaker 1: three you know, um that that could potentially go on
Speaker 1: ir um, just because the nature of the injury and
Speaker 1: the three weeks left. Okay,
