1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,480
Speaker 1: All right.

2
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 2: Injuries from the night Zaane Goazalez, Peter's right calf and

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 2: pregame warm ups, never was able to participate. Chris Conley shoulder,

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: he had to leave. Aj Parker pulled his hamstring. Taylor

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: Hawkins we think broke his hand, and that was it

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: from today.

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 3: Can you talk about the just the logic of getting

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 3: rid of trade for a fourth round pick, like why

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: was that a good.

10
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: Move for the organization. Well, we decided our two were

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna be that we were going with.

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: We'll see our fifty three works out to see if

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna keep three or not. And when we told Trey,

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: when we told him that he wasn't the two, I said,

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: we'd like to keep him here as the three, but

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: we also want to do what's good for him too,

17
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 2: and we'll see how this plays out.

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Now.

19
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: When we looked at other teams and he told us

20
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: that he would like another opportunity to go somewhereere we

21
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: had a chance to be the two. We thought we

22
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: got some good deals for him. There's a number of

23
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: teams involved. To end up getting in the fourth was

24
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: a little better than we anticipated and clears up a

25
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: lot of money and allows a better situation for him too.

26
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 3: Did he request the trade and was it a situation

27
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 3: where it was unrepairable to the point where if he

28
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: wasn't traded you would have had to release him.

29
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: No, No, it was it was never unprepared on what

30
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: you just call it.

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: We could always fit. I mean we were good and

32
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: like trading it.

33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: Actually had a great conversation with them today, had a

34
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: tough conversation when I told him he didn't win the

35
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: second job. Today was much easier just going through it

36
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: for the last couple of days with them. But no,

37
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: there was nothing to fix it was.

38
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: It was what it was.

39
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: And I told him when we told him that he

40
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: was going to be the three, if he could find

41
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 2: another other opportunity that was good.

42
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: We'd allow him to do that.

43
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: And he did, and we feel he'll be better for

44
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: it and think we will too. Why do you end

45
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: the quarterback competition after before the third season?

46
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: Because I knew it. I thought it would take longer.

47
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: I wanted to go through this game, but I knew it,

48
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of guys knew it.

49
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: And I think he had an idea.

50
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: It was more about my relationship with Trey that you know,

51
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: I'm in meetings with him every day and stuff, I'm

52
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: on the field with them every day, and I could

53
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: get a sense that he was starting to feel that

54
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: we felt that way, and it was the truth, and

55
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 2: I don't want to be sham so once I thought

56
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: that he once we knew, and once I could tell

57
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: he knew that we knew. I remember the night before

58
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: I realized, you know, I'm gonna come in the morning

59
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: and tell him. I don't want that between us. So

60
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: I did. Didn't expect it to get out right away,

61
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: but it did. But that was something I thought I

62
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: owed to Trey, and I told Trey right before a

63
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: team meeting that we had I didn't get a chance

64
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 2: to even tell Sam or anyone else on the team.

65
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: That was just a personal thing between Trey and I,

66
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: and it obviously got output.

67
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: That's why I thought it was important to tell him.

68
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: You on Wednesday, you didn't tell us that you want

69
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 4: to tell the players first?

70
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: What was your reason to mean?

71
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: No?

72
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: My reasoning was, yeah, I would love to tell the

73
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: players first. I'd love to tell Sam first. We were

74
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 2: hoping that Tray was gonna come to prac to still

75
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: and I totally understood why he didn't.

76
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: He asked if he could have it off because.

77
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: You know, it was a little emotional and stuff. Didn't

78
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: want to be around the players like that. And totally

79
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 2: understood that, but we're still hoping he would come. And

80
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: then by the time he did it, I wasn't have

81
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: a meeting on the field to tell the players who

82
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: he announced as a second string guy, and I had

83
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: not to mention. Practice ended up one forty three, and

84
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: I had a radio show at one forty five, and

85
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: so I got on a radio show and I talked

86
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: about it for twenty minutes there, and that's what I

87
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: felt good with because I thought if I talked about

88
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: it there, you guys would get that information. Unfortunately, I

89
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: found out that that radio show is delayed because of

90
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: a baseball game they win its extra ending, so you

91
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: guys didn't find out till four thirty. So if I

92
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: would have had it over, I would have told you

93
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: guys right away. But usually when I do a radio show,

94
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: you guys get that stuff pretty fast. So I thought

95
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: you guys had it, and I realized that you didn't

96
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: until about four thirty.

97
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: Today find darnold, did you tell Trey this could be

98
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: the backup.

99
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Was it clear to him? And if it was, what

100
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: was his reaction?

101
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: Even like that, I told Trey the same thing I

102
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: told you guys. It brought since day one. So I mean,

103
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: it's been everything we've told you guys.

104
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: We've told him.

105
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: We said, if Brock was healthy, it was gonna be

106
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: hard for anyone to beat him out with what he

107
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: put on tape last year. If he's not healthy, Sam

108
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: and Trey were competing for the one spot. If he was,

109
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: we thought they'd be competing for the two. And so

110
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: we said before they got here. So they said when

111
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: they got here, O TAS and training camp, And that's

112
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: the way it worked out.

113
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: They had OTAs together, they had all these.

114
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: Practices and Sam won that competition.

115
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 4: Let Sam show you during the practice and during during

116
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: camp to make you and the staff feel that he

117
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 4: was the better choice.

118
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Just everything, the whole body of work. He got better

119
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: as it went.

120
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: I thought it was tight for a little bit, and

121
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 2: just over the last couple of weeks and stuff started

122
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: to separate himself each day, and just the more comfortable

123
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: he got, the more consistent he got. I think it

124
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: was pretty apparent for all of us clarified.

125
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 4: Did he request the trade. Which day did that happen?

126
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: And how's that compete?

127
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: When Trey and I talked, we talked about all the

128
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: situations going forward, and I told him how much I'd

129
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 2: still want him here, to be the three and things

130
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: like that. I also told him that what I think

131
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: is best for Trey. I do think Trey needs an

132
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: opportunity to play more the opportunities he's had here. When

133
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: he has had those two opportunities, he's gotten hurt in

134
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: both of them and kind of missed that window a

135
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: little bit. Gave an opportunity for someone else to do it,

136
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: and that person did it and stayed healthy for those

137
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: seven games and showed us something that we're confident in

138
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: and Trey kind of needs that again and he didn't

139
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: get that here, And so I told him that's what

140
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: I think is best for him. If he can find

141
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: a good opportunity. If he doesn't and he wants to

142
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: be here, well we want him here. And Trey took

143
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: a little bit of time to think about it, but

144
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: he came back and said he'd like to find another

145
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: spot if we can, and that's when we started looking

146
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: into it.

147
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: His agent us, and that came to fruition today.

148
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: First conversation was Wednesday, and Thursday he came back and.

149
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: Said, I'd rather now. The first conversation was Wednesday.

150
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: About an hour and a half later he came and

151
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: told me that he would like that. He'd also like

152
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: to not have to go out to practice and stuff,

153
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: just to get his stuff together and think about it.

154
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: And that's what he did.

155
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: And the next day he came in and was at

156
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: our walkthrough, was at our meetings last night. We didn't

157
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: know if something would happen today. Him and I were

158
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: communicating about it yesterday. The possibilities of it told him

159
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: a possible some teams that were interested, So I was

160
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: talking about those options last night. What I thought was

161
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: best what he did, and then today some other teams

162
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: became interested. And if they wanted of he would have

163
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: been out at that game and stuff, and we would

164
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: have tried to go with him as our three. But

165
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: some good stuff did come up, and some stuff that

166
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: I think he's really excited about, especially tell him to day.

167
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: I could tell he was, and some things we are too.

168
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: Did give up a lot for him.

169
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 4: He's still young.

170
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 3: Was this a failure of evaluation? A failure of circumstance,

171
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: how would you characterize this move.

172
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we took our shot and it didn't

173
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: work out, So I mean that's on us for that.

174
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 2: But I'm not going to say anything as in failure

175
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: to I mean, that'd be too much of a negative

176
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: towards Trey. I get our deal. We took a shot

177
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: to go for that. We were hoping that he could

178
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: be our guy and that didn't work out. So I

179
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 2: understand that from our standpoint. But I still do believe

180
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: in Trey. And you know, about three years ago, you know,

181
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: we had the twelfth pick in the draft, you know,

182
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: after that COVID year, but we thought we had a

183
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: really good team and we didn't think we'd have a

184
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: chance again to get close to that top area to

185
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: take a quarterback in the top ten. And when you

186
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: have the twelfth pick in the draft, we went into

187
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: a realizing it was a risk. But we thought we

188
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: weren't going to pick that high again for a couple

189
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: of years and we would never have a chance to

190
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: move from twelve to three. We tried to move up

191
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: to a number of spots before that, but three was

192
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: the first one that would do it. You know, we

193
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: looked in everything between twelve and three, and we got

194
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: that and we took our shots something we believed in

195
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: in a person we believed in. I was hoping he

196
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: could play more's first year. We knew we wouldn't come

197
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: in and just take it over from Jimmy, but we

198
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: were hoping to fix it in and kind of give

199
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: him some experience. But once he broke the finger and stuff,

200
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: it just got tough for him. As time went. We

201
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: knew we'd commit to him the next year, which we did.

202
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: We knew he wasn't.

203
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: Fully ready in every aspect, but we knew we had

204
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: a skill set that we could put some stuff together

205
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: to give him the chance to compete and grow with

206
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: the good team as he developed as a full quarterback.

207
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: And he got hurt in the first quarter of the

208
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: second game, which kind of set that back. And now

209
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: we're here in the third year, and you know, we

210
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: still got a good team and we thought it would

211
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 2: be Trey. I think we got pretty fortunate falling into

212
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 2: still having a rookie quarterback in our third year that

213
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: happened to be the seventh round pick. And we also

214
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: looked back at it is we didn't think with having

215
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 2: the twenty ninth pick, which you know, those two first

216
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: round picks were ended up being the twenty ninth pick

217
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: in the draft, in the draft, which we're expecting it

218
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 2: to be late, and we were hoping it would be

219
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: thirty two or something like that. But we knew, we know,

220
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: with two first round picks that are both at twenty nine,

221
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: you can never even consider to move up to something

222
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 2: like that, And so we had to act then and

223
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: we did. Didn't work out, which can be a huge challenge,

224
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: but so I feel pretty fortunate what we fell into.

225
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: Was able to go over the options with you this

226
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 4: morning before you accepted the trade, and then how did

227
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: you convey that.

228
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: To the team.

229
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: I just told the team that to just I told

230
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: them after the deal, just you know, anytime you trade

231
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: a quarterback and things like that, I mean, all those

232
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 2: guys are going through some similar stuff. I'm gonna have

233
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: a lot of tough conversations with a lot of guys

234
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: over these next few days. But I always told them

235
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: the circumstances are different when it's under this magnitude someone

236
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: a quarterback position, someone who was drafted like him. So

237
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: I just told them that's that's not a that's that's

238
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: up for John and I decide. I hope they trust

239
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: us with what's best for the team, but they just

240
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: got to be prepared for those questions and stuff, which

241
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: they're not going to know much about.

242
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 3: With the status of Jay and Moody.

243
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: And how long that's week to week right now, or

244
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 2: we're hoping that he can have a chance for week one.

245
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: He ended up straining his squad last week in practice

246
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 2: and we'll see how his body reacts to it.

247
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: Danegre does that mean you have to.

248
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: Look at we most likely got to and we definitely

249
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: got to have a plan B for week one? You know,

250
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: Zane could have been that, but you know he's probably

251
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: not gonna be ready for week one too, looking at

252
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: what happened to him today.

253
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: You say it ten days ago, it kind of went

254
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 3: it really clarified. You go back ten days from that

255
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: that was a Raider game.

256
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 5: Was that kind of defining moment for this decision?

257
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: No? I didn't mean it that way. I mean I

258
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: didn't I just throughout ten days today, I just said

259
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks. You know, it's you know,

260
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: never you never make a decision off one day. You

261
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: never make it off a one preseason game or anything

262
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: like that. It's accumulation of work. Though it was a

263
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: lot tighter earlier on in camp. I thought the more

264
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: Sam got comfortable, the more reps he got, the more

265
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: he started to separate himself.

266
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's been over the last few week, couple.

267
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: Of weeks that you wish you had done differently.

268
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: You know.

269
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: I mean it's I mean, I've I always feel like

270
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 2: I let trade down. I mean, I wanted him to

271
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: come here. I believe in Trey. I believed in him

272
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: before we took him. When I'm responsible for that. I

273
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: didn't want to throw him into the heat of battle

274
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: right away, but I thought he needed to play, so

275
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: we tried to figure out every way to do that.

276
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: I mean, if I can look back in hindsight, he

277
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: broke that finger on a helmet on that fourth preseason

278
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: game versus the Raiders.

279
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: I wish I didn't put him in.

280
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: A play that had him break his finger, because I

281
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 2: think that really hurt him in his first year. And

282
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: not only did it hurt him not getting able to

283
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 2: mix in much, but it hurt him in the practice

284
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: time because he had to adjust how he threw and

285
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: things like that, which I think set him back for

286
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: a second year. We went into the second year, we

287
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: gave him every chance to do it. We were going

288
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: to make an offense that to me gave him the

289
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: best chance to be successful at that time, which we

290
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 2: did do. And when you do that, you hope a

291
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: guy can stay healthy so he can stay out there

292
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: long enough. But that didn't last long first game and

293
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: after that, I mean, I always felt for him, and

294
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: we continue to work with them, but sometimes things don't

295
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 2: just don't work out.

296
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: Was there an internal struggle about when he's still a

297
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: young guy, he's three years old, he still has he's

298
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: only halfway through his rookie contract. Did you consider like

299
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: just keeping him here to just to give him a

300
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: chance to eventually be the guy that you thought you

301
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: were getting.

302
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do consider that.

303
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: I just think that was hard for us to do

304
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 2: that with where we're at as a team, how much

305
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: time we have given them, and the situation here where

306
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: we gave him every chance to beat out Sam and

307
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 2: it just didn't happen. And when you look at it,

308
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: in that case, there's not much opportunities you can do

309
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: on that practice field. There isn't a there's not a

310
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: developmental league. There's not a whole field on the side

311
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: where we can get our players just a practice to

312
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 2: give him reps. You got to get the one ready

313
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 2: to go, and when you're not, it's hard enough to

314
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: get the two ready to go. The three as usually

315
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: a guy who never gets a rep till he randomly

316
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 2: gets out there. And that wasn't what I felt was

317
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: right for Trey and with how much we had done

318
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: so far, and that was gonna be what was right

319
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: for our team either. I thought it was time to

320
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: move on for him and for us. And I'm well

321
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: aware of everything that happened, and unfortunately it did happen.

322
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: But I like where our team's at to right now,

323
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: and I feel very good about that. And I also

324
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: feel very good that despite all that, just you know,

325
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: you'd love to keep a third guy to develop, especially

326
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 2: a guy that you really really love and believe that

327
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: he could do it someday. But to do that for

328
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: seven million dollars over two years with places where we

329
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: are in the cap, when you can't provide those reps

330
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: and stuff for people, and you got other things with

331
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: our team where we're doing that, to me, doesn't make

332
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: much sense for the Niners.

333
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: I wish it would, because.

334
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, we'd love to just keep them until eventually

335
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 2: it works out. But that clock ran out, and that's

336
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: why we had to make a real tough decision when

337
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: we didn't enjoy doing one we didn't want to do,

338
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 2: but we try to do what we think is best,

339
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: and this is what we thinks best.

340
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 4: Came down to the fact that where you guys were

341
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 4: as a team didn't align with what Trey needed to

342
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: get where he.

343
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: Was trying to go very much. So I mean, I

344
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: do think there was a chance. We thought we were

345
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: aligned as a team to win right away when we

346
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: did it with him.

347
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: We knew it would take him time.

348
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: But we also had to make a decision where we're

349
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 2: going to go with our team over to year window,

350
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: and we felt that our We felt if we could

351
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: get a rookie quarterback or a guy and a rookie

352
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: deal who could help us win Man, we could put

353
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: a good team around him, and we took a shot

354
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: with Trey because we believed he could. We knew it

355
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: would take some time, but in the meantime, we're gonna

356
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: have a pretty good team. And the time that we

357
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: did give him. When he had his ops, he miss

358
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: us and those weren't his fault, they weren't our fault.

359
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: They were just those are just what happens in football.

360
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: And when you take a risk on someone who does

361
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: need to develop and does need some of that time

362
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: and then he misses that time and we are where

363
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: we're at right now. It is kind of what it is,

364
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: and I think we are very fortunate that we did

365
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: find a guy. We still are on We still have

366
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback or a guy and a rookie deal

367
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: that has helped us put together a good team. We

368
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: do have a guy that we believe can win with

369
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: on that deal, and we also feel we have a

370
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: very strong backup, and that's where we're at.

371
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: It's good possibility.

372
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure everyone's everyone's a possibility, but that's stuff we

373
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: haven't discussed yet.

374
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 5: Thanks right, Well, My question was last week when uh

375
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 5: Trey had a game winning opportunity, you had him down

376
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 5: the ball and hid the field goal. Do you think

377
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 5: that was a missed opportunity? What's that last week when

378
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 5: Trey was on that last drive and then you had

379
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 5: him down the ball and the field goal stead of

380
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 5: him going in for the touchdown. You think that was

381
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 5: a missed opportunity.

382
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: Miss opportunity for what we evaluate?

383
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 5: What do you can do in that situation?

384
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: No, we evaluate him every day. I should have done

385
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: that for you, but no. But we are.

386
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 5: Good, alright, I guess.

387
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: Thanks
