00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to the Broncos podcast network and

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: YouTube for the latest episode of Broncos Now. As always,

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: I'm your host Sidney Jones and coming up on today's episode,

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: the Broncos wrapped up their week practices here at Center

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: A Health Training Center today and head coach Sean Payton

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: and all three coordinators spoke to the media following today's

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: practice to discuss the team's work versus Rams the past

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: two days, all that more coming out. Well, that's a

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: wrap on joint practices here at Center A Health Training Center.

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: The Broncos held their second and a final joint practice

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: versus the Rams today and head coach Sean Payn seemed

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: pleased with how the last two days went.

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: I felt like we had a little bit more juice

14
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: today just being out on the field. We kind of

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: talked about it last night. It was real pleased with

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: the two days we got with the Rams in that

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: you know, before you ever start, there's certain things you

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: hoped for. And I thought both clubs did a great

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: job of handling the drills, and I thought the teams

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: and the players did a good job of you know,

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: we get better when we do this. First off, we

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: see other schemes, other thoughts, kind of stimulates, you know,

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: your think tank a little bit. And it also I

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: think it changes the routine up. You know you're getting

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: more Those are a lot of team snaps. I don't

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: know if we tallied them up, we're over one hundred

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: and twenty team snaps, and so that's huge when it

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: comes to the evaluation process. Just more more information.

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the big news coming out of today's practice was

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver Jerry Judy was carted off. Head coach Sean

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: Payton and offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi gave an update on

32
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: him a following today's practice.

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: No, it's a hamstring. He'll get an MRI. We'll kind

34
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: of see where he's at with it.

35
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I haven't heard anything more than just watching

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: them come off the field. But you know, all injuries

37
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: are unfortunate, and you know, we'll see what the severity

38
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: of his injury is. But uh, you know, we got

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: we got a lot of guys in that room. Someone's

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: gonna have to step up.

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: Friensive coordinator Advanced Joseph also spoke to the media today

42
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: and gave his opinion on the defensive performance in the

43
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: past two days for sur Rams.

44
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yesterday wasn't good enough. Obviously, we came out flat.

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 4: You know, the first couple of plays in seven on

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: it was like a little motion, like a like a

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: job through walk through pace, you know. So I was

48
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: shocked by that. But we're addressed it last night, and

49
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: we came out this morning with better energy and it

50
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: showed our play and.

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: Like had coach Sean Payton mentioned earlier, the team had

52
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: more juice out there today and that's the type of

53
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: energy advanced Joseph hopes to see from his defense every day.

54
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: You know, my point to the guys yesterday was we

55
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 4: can't start games that way. You know, last week against

56
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: Sant Franz, the first four or five played with a

57
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: lot of sorts. Even in Arizona, the first drive wasn't great,

58
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: it was okay, you know, So just building the mindset

59
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 4: of being dominant from the start and not waiting to

60
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: be dominant. You know, if you know, most most good

61
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: defenses and most good offense, they first fifteen plays are

62
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: at best place. So if you can nail those man

63
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: it sets for a good day. So we can't be

64
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 4: a team that easn't into games and give up field

65
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: goals in a first drive and that's not who one

66
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 4: want to be, so that can't happen.

67
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: And looking ahead to the Broncos final preseason game on

68
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: a Saturday, head coach ch On Payn gave an update

69
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: on whether or not as starters will play.

70
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 2: There may be a few, because it's a little trickier

71
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: than just saying, you know, all the starters aren't starting

72
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: or playing, but you do have to play four quarters

73
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: and you don't want a certain half of your roster,

74
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: you know, getting sixty snaps in risking injury either. So

75
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: we'll have that meeting tonight.

76
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 4: Now.

77
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Joining me here inside the Broncos podcast studio is Broncos

78
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: lead writer Eric Delala. Eric joint practices are in the books.

79
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: We heard early in the show from head coach chan Payn.

80
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: He said team had more juice out there today overall.

81
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: Would you think about day two?

82
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with head coach on Payn. There was

83
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 5: more energy out there, especially early in the practice. The

84
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 5: first couple of team periods. You know, there was no

85
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 5: one on one today, no seven on seven. They just

86
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 5: went straight to team action and early in the practice

87
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 5: the Broncos for sure had the upper hand Nick Benito

88
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 5: would have had a sack on Matt Stafford, Zach Allen

89
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 5: would have had another. From a first team defense perspective,

90
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 5: Josie Jewel almost had an interception, Drew Sanders might have

91
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 5: had a near chance at an interception, and the second

92
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 5: team defense was out there. So a lot of good

93
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 5: stuff from that unit. And then offensively, I thought the

94
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 5: Broncos moved the ball pretty well. There was a play

95
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 5: down the sideline out of Courtland Sutton made a catch

96
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 5: and a couple other completions. I think Marvin Mims had one.

97
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 5: So it looked good early and you saw that energy

98
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 5: wasn't quite as sharp maybe the rest of practice, and

99
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 5: the Rams certainly got some big plays, especially against the

100
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 5: Broncos defense. Then the offense maybe wasn't quite as as

101
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 5: sharp as it was early, a couple of drops again.

102
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 5: Of course, the big story is Jerry Judy's injury, and

103
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 5: it did seem like, especially on offensive side of the ball,

104
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 5: maybe not as much success once Jerry went out. But

105
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 5: I think overall a good day of practice. It definitely

106
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 5: was a step up from yesterday and competitive overall between

107
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 5: the two teams.

108
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, really unfortunate news with wide receiver Jerry Judy. We

109
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: heard Sean give an update on that earlier in the show. Eric,

110
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: hopefully you know nothing long term. We'll see what the

111
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: MRI says. But you know, looking at the wide receivers

112
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: as a whole, of course, you know Tim Patrick went

113
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: down early in camp. Who do you really expect to

114
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: kind of step up in their places?

115
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 5: Yeah? And you know, as Sean Payton said, a little

116
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 5: early to figure out exactly what everything is going to

117
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 5: look like, just because as we're recording this, we haven't

118
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: heard anything about Jerry Judy's status. Listen, several guys are

119
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 5: going to have to step up if he misses any time,

120
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 5: and that doesn't matter if it's one game or one

121
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 5: week or whatever it might be. You've got Courtland Sutton,

122
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 5: but he's going to face increased attention if Jerry Judy's

123
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 5: not out there. Yeah, and so then you look at

124
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 5: guys like Marvin Mims. You know, a Brandon Johnson who

125
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 5: I think was playing really well before or his injury

126
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 5: and he's back. Now. You've got Marquez Callaway, little Jordan Humphrey,

127
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 5: both who came in from New Orleans as options, Kendall

128
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: Hinton as a guy that we've heard being talked about

129
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 5: as a smart player. We know Montreal Washington, for example,

130
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 5: has has the speed. We haven't seen it necessarily translate

131
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 5: as much to the offensive side of the ball in games.

132
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 5: And then you've got some of these guys that are

133
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 5: competing for spots, whether it's a Bandy, you know, a

134
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 5: Taylor Grime, some of those guys that are that are

135
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 5: fighting for positioning here for lack of a better word,

136
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 5: but yeah, I mean, obviously the hope knock on Wood

137
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 5: is that Jerry's okay, that he's able to be back,

138
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 5: no matter when that is. But guys will have to

139
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 5: step up. I do think the biggest difference will be

140
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 5: that Courtland Sutton will just see more attention than maybe

141
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 5: he would have otherwise. And sure, maybe you have to

142
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 5: look elsewhere to get the passing game going, whether that's

143
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 5: to the running backs, which we already know they're going

144
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 5: to be a big part of this passing game, the

145
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 5: tight ends, Greg dolcic Adam Troutman. I mean, those are

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 5: guys that might have to do a little bit more

147
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 5: to supplement Jerry Judy if he ends up missing time.

148
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 5: But again, a little premature at this point. To speculate

149
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 5: about all that, right.

150
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: You know, we heard head coach Sean Payin talk following

151
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: yesterday's practice about, rather than you know, really evaluating what

152
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: he saw on film, he wants to look at today

153
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: and the corrections that the team's going to make. So

154
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: for you, Eric, where did you feel like the team,

155
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, made the biggest improvement from yesterday?

156
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

157
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 5: I think it was defensively, just the strong start, the energy.

158
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 4: Fans.

159
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 5: Joseph talked about it, that that wasn't acceptable, that wasn't

160
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 5: good enough. He was shocked when he saw them in

161
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 5: that first seven on seven period, thought it kind of

162
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: looked like slow motion. And they were certainly better as

163
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 5: the practice went along yesterday. But I think you saw

164
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 5: that continue at the start of today and just the

165
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 5: pressure they got, the way they were able to fluster

166
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: Matt Stafford, who later in practice I think showed you

167
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 5: still the type of quarterback he is with some of

168
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 5: these deep throws and he's a really good player. And

169
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: so to have that success speaks volumes about what this

170
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 5: Denver defense was able to rebound and do. It was

171
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 5: better in some ways in terms of the pre snap

172
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 5: penalties offensively, that they still happened. There were still a

173
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 5: few times in the Broncos had to go back in

174
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: the huddle, but I think from a focused standpoint and

175
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 5: an energy effort type of deal, it was definitely better.

176
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 5: And that's what we heard Sean Payton say yesterday, right,

177
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 5: is it's not just about learning how to be mentally

178
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 5: tough enough to play. It's about being mentally tough enough

179
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 5: to play to win and close out these games that

180
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 5: are close. Feels good about where the Broncos are from

181
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 5: a conditioning standpoint, But all those things kind of play

182
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: together as you look to put a complete football game together,

183
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 5: and obviously the Broncos are in the process of making

184
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 5: that all work.

185
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a good week in terms of injured

186
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: guys coming back to practice. And today we saw Mike

187
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: Purcell return. You haven't seen him all training camp, and

188
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: I know Van Scheufs has talked a lot about the

189
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: defensive line and you know how much depth they have there.

190
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: But really good to see him back too.

191
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we've you know, we heard people earlier in

192
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 5: training camp say, hey, Mike Purcell's what makes this thing

193
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 5: all go. Yeah, you know, he's a critical piece on

194
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 5: that defensive line. Obviously was on the non football injury list,

195
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 5: passes his physical, comes back and is out at practice today.

196
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 5: They're still going to be smart as they work him back,

197
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 5: just because he hasn't played much football, but he's a

198
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 5: guy that obviously big guy, veteran, a good football player

199
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 5: and can really clog up those running lanes. So as

200
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 5: le Broncos look to get better against the run, and

201
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: I said, we'll have to see what happens. Right, we

202
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 5: don't know if Josh Jacobs is going to be out

203
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 5: there week one. He's still holding out, but certainly if

204
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 5: Josh Jacobs is playing for the Raiders or whoever's back there,

205
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 5: having a guy like Mike Purcell up front to help

206
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 5: slow that rushing attack down is a big deal. So

207
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 5: you were it was starting to get to the point

208
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 5: where I was like, when is he going to be

209
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 5: back out there? Because you get we're now, what he's

210
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 5: almost two weeks from the season essentially. I mean, we're

211
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 5: getting close here, and so you need these guys to

212
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 5: have a little bit of ramp up time. And so

213
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 5: it was getting to the point where I was like, huh,

214
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 5: I wonder if Mike Purcell is going to be back

215
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 5: or what the deal is with him passes his physical

216
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: He's back out there and certainly a positive step as

217
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 5: we approach Week one.

218
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: Definitely, well, Eric, you know, looking ahead to the Broncos

219
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: final preseason game here on Saturday, I know Sean Peyton

220
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: said earlier that, you know, maybe a few starters will play.

221
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: That'll be kind of a case by case basis. But

222
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: for the Broncos final game here, what are you really

223
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: going to be watching for on Saturday?

224
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think that there are individual guys

225
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 5: that are still fighting for roster spots or fighting to

226
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 5: prove the role or quote unquote the vision that they

227
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 5: want to fill for this football team. Certainly the rookies

228
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 5: catch your eye, right Like I would think a Drew

229
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 5: Sanders would get a lot of run. He's not a

230
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 5: guy that's in danger of missing the team, but certainly

231
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 5: a good opportunity for him to go out there and

232
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 5: play snaps and get a chance to show what he's

233
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 5: capable of in this defense. You know, you think about it,

234
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 5: Julia McLoughlin, another opportunity to kind of solidify his spot

235
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 5: on this roster.

236
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: A J. L.

237
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 5: Skinner, a late round pick, Alex Forsyth another late round pick.

238
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 5: Can those guys come out and show that they've done

239
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 5: enough to deserve a spot. I mean, that's what this

240
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 5: game is about to me. And know, the winning and

241
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 5: the losing still still matters, and you want to be

242
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 5: able to get a win and then the preseason on

243
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 5: the right note, But definitely this is about individual guys

244
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 5: kind of making that final push of saying, hey, I

245
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 5: deserve to be on this roster or I deserve to

246
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 5: have a big role this season. And there's you know,

247
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 5: you could look up and down the roster, whether it's

248
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 5: the offensive line, there's still a bunch of spots. It

249
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 5: feels like that are up for grabs in terms of

250
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 5: you know, what is the who's the seventh, eighth, ninth

251
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 5: guy on that offensive line? How many do they keep?

252
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 5: If you're a receiver and Jerry Judy's going to miss

253
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 5: some time, can you prove in this game that hey,

254
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 5: I deserve to be a guy that's going to step

255
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 5: in and fill that role. If you're you know, cornerback

256
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 5: in a crowded room there, can you make a play

257
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 5: on special teams that shows you deserve a spot on

258
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 5: this roster. So it's less about hey, do they move

259
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 5: the ball well and you know, score a touchdown on

260
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 5: their first drive and more. How do these individual guys play?

261
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 5: And I know it's it's always about the team, but

262
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 5: in a game like this, you focus on some of

263
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 5: those individual performances definitely.

264
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: And roster cut down be on Tuesday. So, like you said,

265
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: final chance to really show what some of these guys

266
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: can do. Yeah, sure, absolutely, Yeah, Eric, appreciate you joining

267
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: the show today. You got it said, Well, then I'll
