- 0:00Speaker 1: Go what a what's you guys success in the games
- 0:03Speaker 1: coming back from London?
- 0:04Speaker 2: Uh?
- 0:05Speaker 1: Is it something with the schedule? Do you like playing
- 0:07Speaker 1: the game as so as you go back.
- 0:11Speaker 2: In regards to the scheduling, you know, it's still kind
- 0:17Speaker 2: of early in the season, so taking a bye with
- 0:19Speaker 2: with the length of time we have remaining, I like
- 0:23Speaker 2: to get right back on the field and just keep
- 0:24Speaker 2: playing and push our buy to a little bit later date,
- 0:28Speaker 2: which is the case this year. You know. I think
- 0:32Speaker 2: I think two of the guys still kind of feel
- 0:34Speaker 2: the wave of emotion of being together, you know, for
- 0:39Speaker 2: for the ten days we're over there, and it carries
- 0:42Speaker 2: over the next week. And if you play good then
- 0:48Speaker 2: that also carries over. You know, it gives you confidence
- 0:50Speaker 2: right as a team. So I think a little bit
- 0:53Speaker 2: of everything sort of has a hand in that.
- 0:58Speaker 1: ETN Cam, Robinson and Dewey.
- 1:01Speaker 2: How do they look for Sunday? So Cam, right now
- 1:07Speaker 2: I can announce that he's cleared the protocol. Uh, he'll
- 1:10Speaker 2: be out there practice today. We'll see where he's at.
- 1:13Speaker 2: But you know, hopefully he's he's good and we know
- 1:16Speaker 2: we have to finish him up and contact and stuff,
- 1:19Speaker 2: but he can actually be be in practice today, So
- 1:22Speaker 2: that's a good thing. E t N. Again, we'll still
- 1:26Speaker 2: we'll still push him today, see see where he's at
- 1:28Speaker 2: physically before we make a decision probably game time, you
- 1:32Speaker 2: know with him. Uh, that was the two He had
- 1:39Speaker 2: a really good week trending you know, in the right direction,
- 1:45Speaker 2: you know, optimistic that uh, you know, he'll be able
- 1:49Speaker 2: to step in and play. We'll see where he's at
- 1:51Speaker 2: today tomorrow, and the Dewey Dewey's the same. He had
- 1:55Speaker 2: a good week of preparation, good week of practice. I
- 1:58Speaker 2: think it's good for both those guys to get back
- 2:00Speaker 2: out there, you know, and again we'll see. I gotta
- 2:03Speaker 2: see today really quite honestly, where where he's at. And
- 2:08Speaker 2: then and then make a decision, you know, probably at
- 2:10Speaker 2: least by tomorrow, but when we turn in the turn
- 2:12Speaker 2: in the or at least have an idea of uh
- 2:15Speaker 2: as far as any any standard elevations, I should say.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I know Brian's already had a lot of success,
- 2:21Speaker 1: But are you saying the game kind of starts slowing
- 2:24Speaker 1: down for him now that he's seven eight seven games
- 2:26Speaker 1: into his career.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the game not too big, you know
- 2:31Speaker 2: for him, obviously playing at LSU, I mean playing a
- 2:35Speaker 2: lot of huge games there, a lot of big games
- 2:37Speaker 2: played in front of big crowds, things like that, you know,
- 2:40Speaker 2: but it just goes to me. It just goes to
- 2:42Speaker 2: his preparation and how he works during the week and
- 2:45Speaker 2: now coach Hall Chad you know, gets him ready to
- 2:47Speaker 2: go and all those guys and and just understanding his role.
- 2:50Speaker 2: But yeah, it definitely is you know, slowed down and
- 2:54Speaker 2: he's he's embraced that.
- 2:57Speaker 1: You look at Eavier mckennedy, the m I kick to
- 3:00Speaker 1: have on a game. Is there added emphasis during the
- 3:03Speaker 1: week when you have opponents like that on that side.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Of the ball. Yeah, you know, I mean plays a
- 3:10Speaker 2: safety spot. He'll be he'll be he'll be deep, he'll
- 3:13Speaker 2: be in the box. He's a blitzer, he's a good tackler.
- 3:17Speaker 2: He's a ball hawk ball. You know, he's created five
- 3:19Speaker 2: interceptions I think so far. So definitely got to be
- 3:23Speaker 2: aware of where he where he aligns. You know, he's
- 3:27Speaker 2: a good player and and you got to make sure
- 3:29Speaker 2: that you know, one if you need to block him,
- 3:33Speaker 2: you know, you need to be in a position to
- 3:34Speaker 2: block him, you know, because he's he's he's good enough
- 3:37Speaker 2: to to you know physically, you know, beat that block
- 3:40Speaker 2: and make a tackle and then and then again in
- 3:42Speaker 2: the past game. You know he hasn't he has a
- 3:44Speaker 2: nose for the football. He's smart player back there, so
- 3:47Speaker 2: just got to give him, give him credit and know
- 3:49Speaker 2: where he's know where he's at.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I think Jordan Love has himself said this year he's
- 3:54Speaker 1: got to keep trying to like high level of difficulty throws,
- 3:57Speaker 1: because what do you emphasize your defense knowing you have
- 3:59Speaker 1: a bought back, He's gonna like really test the windows
- 4:02Speaker 1: and stuff.
- 4:03Speaker 2: I love that attitude quite frankly from your quarterback. You
- 4:08Speaker 2: know this, We do the same thing with our guy
- 4:09Speaker 2: with Trevor. We we we we encourage him to test it,
- 4:13Speaker 2: you know, and to see, especially during the week of preparation,
- 4:16Speaker 2: a week of practice, see what you can get away
- 4:18Speaker 2: with as a throw. And you know, I think back
- 4:23Speaker 2: to my days and my days in Green Bay played
- 4:25Speaker 2: with the guy that that cut it loose quite a bit.
- 4:28Speaker 2: And you know, obviously Jordan sat behind a guy that
- 4:31Speaker 2: did the same thing for a little while. So you know,
- 4:34Speaker 2: if you're a defensive guy, I think I think you
- 4:36Speaker 2: have to read into it that that every throw on
- 4:38Speaker 2: the on you know in the book is open and available,
- 4:42Speaker 2: and you have to be prepared. You got to be
- 4:44Speaker 2: in the right spot. You got to be disciplined, and
- 4:46Speaker 2: you know, is he gonna make a mistake from time
- 4:48Speaker 2: to time? He will. I mean that's just that's the
- 4:50Speaker 2: aggressive nature of how he plays and and and that's
- 4:54Speaker 2: okay because for them they've been able to overcome that.
- 4:57Speaker 2: You know, but uh, you just got to stay disciplined
- 5:00Speaker 2: the defense and you know, trust your instinct and be prepared.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Plantar fasciatu stifoy.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Is that something you have to manage all the year
- 5:07Speaker 2: because I probably so, you know, uh we'll keep we'll
- 5:12Speaker 2: keep an eye on him and he'll just you know,
- 5:14Speaker 2: he'll get treatment on it and and all that. But
- 5:17Speaker 2: you know, uh he's in a good spot though, which
- 5:21Speaker 2: is good. But yeah, I probably have to manage a
- 5:23Speaker 2: little bit
