Does the 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: team do you anticipate bringing in any defensive backs or 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: safeties to look at it all this week? Not at 9 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: this point. No, We've got hopefully we've got some guys 10 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: who are coming our way in terms of you know, 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: guys coming off to three week hour and really feel like, 12 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, with what we have in our camp right now. 13 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: I had a couple of guys we've brought on the 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: practice squad that made some headweight last last week that 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: aren't quite ready, but overall, feel like we got the 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: guys here on campus ultimately that can get the job 17 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: done for us. In terms of that injured reserve, do 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: you anticipate Lyle I mean, I know Lyle Collins is 19 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: eligible to come off, ir, do you anticipate him being 20 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: ready to go this week? And then can you walk 21 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: us through anymore of the status or what Tyrann is 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: going through well what Tyran's obviously day to day and 23 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: feel like he was real close last week, so obviously 24 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: hopeful that we'll get him back this week. We'll see 25 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: as the week progresses and h no, Lyle Collins probably 26 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: a little further away, but you know, we'll see how 27 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: this week goes in terms of how he works and 28 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: then make decisions from there. Why is why is Lyle 29 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: still a little bit further away than expecting. He just 30 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: working with a couple of issues that you know that 31 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: he's trying to get right and uh, you know, don't, 32 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: as we said, don't want to get into specifics in 33 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: terms of exactly what his injury is or injuries are, 34 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: but working through all that with him trying to get 35 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: him in a place where he can get himself ready 36 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: to play play at a high level again. Uh. Stephen 37 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: Jones joined us here on the KNCIE Masterpiece on one 38 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: oh five three the Stephen, did you find that your center? 39 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: You may have found a new starting center with Tyler 40 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Badass doing some work there yesterday. Well, Tyler came in 41 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: and did a nice job, and uh, you know, he's 42 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: obviously got some some things that you know, when you 43 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: get your first live action that you need to improve upon. 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: And certainly, uh, you know, he's uh, you know, really 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: works at his task, and you know, at the same time, 46 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: he's got a you know, a great guy in front 47 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: of him and Joe Looney. He's also a great teacher 48 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: and a great leader in that room. So uh, you know, 49 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: expect Joe to get back, and you know, Tyring gets 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: back and we can shuffle that line back, and you know, 51 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: still had a you know, he was fighting the flu 52 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: flu bug yesterday and uh, you know, admiring for getting 53 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: out there and giving it everything he could, but uh, 54 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: uh you know, he was you know, he was really 55 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: feeling feeling that twenty four hour bug, and I felt 56 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: like we needed to really shift the line around in 57 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: order to get through the game. Do you do you 58 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: anticipate then that if Lyle is not ready to go, 59 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: that we might see Zach Martin back out there right 60 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: tackle again. No, I think, you know, when Tyring gets back, 61 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: we'll have Night and Steel and Steel should be back 62 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. We really think it was just a 63 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: twenty four hour food or virus of some sort, you know, 64 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: twenty four hour bug type thing, not the virus that 65 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: can be certainly this day and time taking the wrong way. 66 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's that at all. Think it 67 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: was more of it, you know, flu upsets type, stomach 68 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: type thing that he had to work through. But you know, 69 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: with those guys coming back, I think getting Zach plugged 70 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: back in at this usual spot, I think we're a 71 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: better group that way. Totally. Here what you're saying about 72 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: the twenty four hour bug. But given this year, in 73 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: the lead up to the NFL season, is there a 74 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: little bit of panic across the organization when somebody tells 75 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: you that they're sick with flu type symptoms. No, our 76 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: guys do a good job of working through that and 77 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: what that is. And of course he's been and tested 78 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: and all good, and you know, he just doesn't have 79 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: the typical symptoms. He's more symptomatic, you know, on some 80 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: sort of food poisoning or something of that issue than 81 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: it is the symptoms that come with the virus. So 82 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: Stephen Jones joining us right now. Stephen, how did you 83 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: feel like your secondary played yesterday? You know, I think 84 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: they had their moments. You gotta give you know, you 85 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: gotta give credit to Russell Wilson he's playing probably you know, 86 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: maybe the highest level in the NFL at the quarterback position. 87 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean he's able to buy time and give his 88 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: receivers time to you know, get open down the field. 89 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: And you know, at times, uh, you know, we had 90 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: some tough moments, but at times we played really well. 91 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: You know, I do think this is a work in progress, 92 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,559 Speaker 1: and defense more so than offense, because we are looking 93 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: we are working into a new system with coach Nolan 94 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: and his staff and you know, really figuring the players 95 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: out and system out. And I do think this is 96 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: going to come around. Each half. You know, it seems 97 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: like we make our adjustments and at halftime and we 98 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: play play much better defense in the second half. So 99 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: I think this is, uh, this is going to come 100 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: around in due time. And you know, there's some tough 101 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: losses here where we had a chance there at the 102 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: end of the game and maybe pull a couple of 103 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: these losses out. But we've just got to keep working 104 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: at it. We've got to obviously a new head coach 105 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: and new staff and didn't get the full offseason. Uh. 106 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of teams in the same boat. 107 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: But we feel really good about our football team. Well, 108 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: then sticking with that defensive side of the ball, Stephen 109 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: Alden Smith's play has been impressive to everybody. Are you 110 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: guys getting more than you expected out of him? Well, 111 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, I think you'd have to say yes. 112 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: I don't think you'd expect many players to do what 113 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: he's done here in the first three games. He's been, 114 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: as you said, very impressive. And uh, you know, it's 115 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: hard to expect that out of a out of a 116 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: perennial pro bowler year in and year out, much less 117 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: a guy who you know, who was out of football 118 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: for a couple of years. So you know, he's just 119 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: doing a great job out there. You know, there's a 120 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 1: lot of things to be positive about on this defense. 121 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: I think it's just, you know, we've got to keep grinding, 122 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: we've got to keep working, we've got to keep you know, 123 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: working to execute at the highest level. We've got to 124 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: pay attention to details. And I really think this is 125 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: going to come around for this football team. Well, going 126 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: into this Stevens season, Stephen, you're talking about kind of 127 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson and Noah Brown being your fourth and fifth guys, 128 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: and we thought, hey, we have three really good guys here, 129 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: let's see if you know, the Cowboys are correct on this, 130 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. They really have five guys make 131 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: an impact at the wide receiver position. But through three games, 132 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: I've really been impressed Cedric Wilson. Yesterday, obviously Nolah Brown 133 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: had a really nice catch AND's had some nice place 134 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: How kind of impressed have you been with your rotation 135 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: of five receivers, which seems kind of impossible in the 136 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: NFL to have five good receivers. Yeah, very much so. 137 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: I think you know, obviously with the first three he said, 138 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: and no, I can get overlooked. But certainly, as you've seen, 139 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: they are very capable of receivers in the NFL. They've 140 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: had some injury issues in the past. Here they're staying healthy. 141 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: They're doing a great job for us, not only on 142 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball, but in special teams. 143 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: And you know, we're just fortunate to have two guys 144 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: like that. I think DAC has a ton of confidence 145 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: in both of them, and it's just, uh, you know, 146 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: it's got to be one of the nicer receiving groups 147 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and certainly they showed that yesterday. I 148 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: don't want to sound too down here, but I didn't 149 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: want to kind of get clarify a little hit something. 150 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence was relatively ineffective in about half of the 151 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: defensive snaps yesterday. Was Was he hampered much by his knee? Yeah, 152 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: he's he's working through that. But that's what makes him 153 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: a warrior. I mean, he's a pro's pro. He's not 154 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: one of those guys, uh, you know, and there's there 155 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: are guys like that in the NFL that when everything's 156 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: not a hundred for scent, they don't play. But you know, 157 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: he's he's accountable to his teammates. He wants to get 158 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: out there and help in any way he can. As 159 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: we all know, in this league, it's tough to be 160 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: one hundred percent in every game and he knows that 161 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: better than anybody. And that's one of the things that 162 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: you know, we loved about d law when we paid him, 163 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: is that, you know, he's shown this time and time 164 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: again when he's not one hundred percent, he shows up 165 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: to play for his team and you know, sometimes you 166 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: know it may not be at his highest level because 167 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: of an injury, but he's he's working through it, and 168 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, we admire him for that. How do you 169 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: balance that admiration with when you're not necessarily getting the 170 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: results from him specifically that you want. Do you look 171 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: at it and you're like, it's still worth keeping him 172 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: out on the field, or would like a week off 173 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: ever help get him closer to one hundred percent and 174 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: may be more effective. Well, you're on it. That's the 175 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: fine line. You walked there, and uh, certainly we were 176 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: going to monitor him in the game. He was certainly 177 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, monitor himself, and uh, you know, he made 178 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: some plays for us. It's just, uh, you know, at 179 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: some point you gotta say, hey, is he better off 180 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: for resting, uh, you know, for for you know, for 181 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: a quarter for plays and letting someone like Dorine to 182 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: Armstrong go in there or Ty Crawford fill in form. 183 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: You know, we've got a good group of guys out there. 184 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: So that's the balance that you're You're you're trying to 185 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: walk there, the balancing act that you're trying to get through. 186 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: But you know, at the end of the day, you know, 187 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: a seventy five eighty percent legal hall is better than 188 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: a lot of people at their best. Yeah, you made 189 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: some references to the new coaching staff, and then obviously 190 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: the unique nature leading up to this season. Is there 191 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: any point in the season, whether it's a couple more weeks, 192 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: a month or whatever, where you feel like, hey, you know, 193 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: this should be the product that we're going to see 194 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year in terms of everybody 195 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: being ready. Because there's there's been sloppy play across the NFL. 196 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: Obviously the Cowboys have suffered from it as well. Do 197 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: you feel like you guys are close to getting to 198 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: the execution level you want or having everybody on the 199 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: same page with the new coaching staff and all that 200 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: I do. That's why we're optimistic. I just think we're 201 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: going to get better with each week. Obviously, we've got 202 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: to really focus on the details. Uh, you know, as 203 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: as hard as our guys are working, and they are 204 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: working working their tails off, they've just got to put 205 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: a little extra time in their task and what they're doing. 206 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm so optimistic about this team. I 207 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: think it's going to get better with each week. You know, 208 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: to be candid with you and you know that's that's 209 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: the league. But we've played three of the you know, 210 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: three super Bowl type quarterbacks and Matt Ryan and Golf 211 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: and now Russell Wilson. You know, you're talking about veteran 212 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who who know what they're doing out there, and uh, 213 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: certainly you don't go against that every week. But I 214 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: do think our defense is going to do nothing but 215 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: get better. I do know, you know, our coaching staff, 216 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: coach McCarthy, the defensive staff, offensive staff, special teams are 217 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: gonna are going to focus on the details and then 218 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: the little things right and uh, you know, I've got 219 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: a ton of confidence that our staff will get that 220 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: done and we're only going to get better as a 221 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: football team as this season. As this season goes on, Stephen, 222 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: is there also optimism just looking at your division on 223 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: how bad it is. Well, I don't want to. I 224 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: don't know that i'd use that term, but obviously we're 225 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: still very much in the max. I think we're we're 226 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: tied for first place as we sit here right now. 227 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: So you know, we just got to go to work. 228 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 1: We need to worry about ourselves. We don't need to 229 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: worry about other people, about other teams. We need to 230 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: worry about our team, and I think things will take 231 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 1: care of themselves. But it's clear by that giggle that 232 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: you think the rest of the division is for right 233 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: now not a laughable at your term. Okay, I am 234 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: kind of curious. Uh you know, we're looking right now 235 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: in a situation where your cornerbacks. You mean, maybe he's 236 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: sitting there with like your fourth fifth cornerback starting, but 237 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: watching Trevon Digg's play, he still has moments of looking 238 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: like a rookie, but then you realize, like, this guy 239 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: can turn into a really good cornerback by the end 240 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: of this year. Do you guys feel like, y'all, maybe 241 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: he's stole him away in the second round of the draft. 242 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: We feel great about what he's doing out there. And 243 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: then of course to step up when you know a 244 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of corners wouldn't have played with 245 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: his injury, and he stepped up like a real pro 246 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: play even though he wasn't one hundred percent. And uh, 247 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, I thought I played lights out. So I 248 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: think it's future is huge. I mean, I think he's 249 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: got tremendous upside. He loves to compete, obviously, comes from 250 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: an amazing program where you know he was taught the 251 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: right way. He's been around championship caliber football teams know 252 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: what it takes to win. And I do think we 253 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: stole us one there there in the second round when 254 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: we got Diggs, you know, that late in the draft. 255 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: So fortunate to have him. He's only going to get better. 256 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: That's part of the growing pain of being a rookie corner. 257 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna have some moments out there. But the good 258 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: news about him, he puts it in his rear view 259 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: Mary and keeps going, so he's he's competing. He's going 260 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: to make a lot of big plays for us this year, 261 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, before it's all said and done. I know 262 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: a lot develops as the week goes on. But are 263 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: there any new or initial injury concerns that you have 264 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: coming out of yesterday's game? Not really. I mean, you know, 265 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: like any game, you're gonna have your bumps and bruises. 266 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: But until you know, until we have our meeting, which 267 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: we're about to walk into and you know, everybody gets 268 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: through getting I looked at, you know, throughout the morning, 269 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: and it's tough to really speculate right now. But overall, 270 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: I think we'll be a healthier football team next week 271 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: than we were this week. All right, Well, we appreciate 272 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: the time, very very much each and every week. Thank 273 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: you very much. Good sir, Hey, I appreciate you guys. 274 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: Y'all have a great week.
