• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, Uh, y could be any more obvious. Uh, this
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: is the finish up here for the the regular season,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and then we've got to get this game done. We
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: gotta get what we need to get done here to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: uh have a chance to keep rolling. It ain't about
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: really what's what's down the road. It's with this game
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: right now, right this time. And uh, we've got to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: do some things better than we did. And and we've
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: had some times where we've been okay, but we gotta
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: get better. And so you you wanted, you know, how
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: can you get better in a week? Well, watch, we're
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: gonna do that, and we're gonna s n change uh
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit of how this thing happened, uh and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: last week and and I'm anxious to see it, see
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it come together. So uh th it's always on. This
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: day is about back to basics and the fundamentals and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: doing the little things right. And so we gotta capture
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: this day and make sure it's a.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Good one for us.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: When you went back and watched the film with the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: run defense, was it beyond just the tackling issues or
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: was that primarily a m There were some opportunities in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: in in executing better up front that we didn't get
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: done you know, means you got blocked once in a while.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: But you know, we had five miss tackles on one play,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you know, and so that was a yeah, an ugly
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: memory in all of our minds. And we did way
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: better in the second half we did in the first half.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So we know that it's there. So we just gotta
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: make sure we captured early and make sure we come
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: out of the shoots better than we have.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: What is missing tackles a an effort thing or a
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: fundamental thing or what is it?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: No, no, I it to me, it's fundamental.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: It's always it's always getting you know, getting your feet
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in the right position, making sure your head's in the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: right spot. So it's you know, out out of the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: way and and and shoulder hitting it the way we
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: want to and and uh that's why I know we
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: we can do better.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I know we can play better.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: So we happen to be going against a running back
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that's I think leading the NFL and yards after contact.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So uh, the challenge with James Connor is is as
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: big as he can get.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And so, uh, we got to do a great job.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: What has Arizona showing you at that Riting game in
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: recent weeks for Sol the yards.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're well, it's the threat of the quarterback is
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: always part of it.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: He's he's rushed for over two hundred yards in in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: his seven games back, you know, so he he's he's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: getting thirty forty yards a game, something like that, and uh,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that factor does add in, you know. And and so
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: we've got to make sure and try to keep Kyler's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: somehow in control, which is almost impossible cause he's he's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: just so elusive and so fast. But we'll w we
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: have our ways. We're gonna go back in the plan
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and gotta see if we can keep him under control.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: And uh, obviously we gotta execute really well in a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: running game cause you know, James is gonna get the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: ball a bunch in this one too.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: When it comes to Kyler, you didn't see you in
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: the first match up the season. Does he walk the
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: way that you would expect after that.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: That you're recovery?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he look he looks, he looks. Yeah, he looks
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It's interesting how close the numbers are between uh, when
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Dobbs was playing and and when Kyler's playing. Uh, they're
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: getting you know, they've got three wins in the last seven,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: so that's a little bit different. But their numbers are
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: very similar and in the attack hasn't changed. It's just
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the style of of the athlete.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And uh, there's nobody like like Kyler.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: He he's an unusually uh n unique player with his
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: speed and his quickness and in his style and the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and uh he poses a ton of problems. The changes
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you say you gonna make, I don't expect you to say,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: what the but I are they new or are there's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: things you've gone back?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: You're gonna go back.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: No, there's some things we it's I when you're when
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you're talking about basics and fundamentals, it's it's you're going
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: back to where we were in camp.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Sometimes technique deteriorate somewhat during the season, and it look
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: like that's th that kind of happened to us. We
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: did We didn't just didn't weren't as good fundamentally as
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: we need to be, and UH showed up. You know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: we got a lot of young guys. I know we
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: can keep working with these guys and keep helping them
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: see uh how they can do things, Cause like we
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: did 'em right in the second half, so we can
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: do 'em right in.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: The first half.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So we need to recapture that he I in playing
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: good running defense and technique.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: How much does the discipline of.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Each player I think you've mentioned as as part of it,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: so that the people in the back and trust that and.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Continue And it's a r it's a really good uh point,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and and it's d playing the defense in the running
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: game is really about relative spacing, and that's making sure
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the guys stay in the right gaps and they stay
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: on the right edge of the blocks, and that is
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that's part of it. Is is the discipline of the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: technique of it. And then you gotta be physical enough
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to maintain you know, otherwise you get knocked off the ball,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: are knocked out of your way.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: But uh, it is.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: About staying connected to the guy next year and that
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that's something that it's we just need to continue to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: stay with it and we gotta find it, and we
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: gotta find it this week and.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And make sure that we have a a lot better
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: outing than we.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Did six I think it was six.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, they're.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: They They hit two big corner routes on us, you know, Uh,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: fourteen and and and then there was a big crossing
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: round in the game. Those those were really the three
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: big plays. I thought that were the impact plays that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: really changed the field position.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And that's what.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: We were a l We had eliminated let the week
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: two weeks to be prior to that, I think we
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: had three and to combined in the for those two
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: previous games. So it those plays changed the field positions.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So when you run the football now it you can
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: stay with it. And and uh so they were fundamental stuff.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: The the one great catch that that Pickens makes, that's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that's just a phenomenal play. But uh, the other corner
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: route is one that we can play in the crossrooor.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: We certainly have our ways uh to play that one too.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So that it's they had run the ball pretty well
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: in a couple of play passes got us, you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and and that doesn't need to connect, but it did
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in this in this instance.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Is uh Jordan brokes out a chance to get back.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, he he went through the walk through. He
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: look pretty good running around.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: How's ed Brown?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: He got through the walk through today that he got
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to release to do that, So that's a really good
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: sign that he can he can progress through the week. Uh,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: he won't get uh practice reps today, but I think tomorrow.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: This allows him to get him tomorrow. So uh if
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: everything continues to progress. So what pretty good shape?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: He did fine? Hed, Yeah, he did, he did fine.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: He held up his end and and uh we we've
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: got a real good one and two punch right there.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: He he he did a nice job in the game.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: What about uh y, Yeah, he's gonna get some more. Uh,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping they'll see him and let him go more. Well,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Uh Abe Lucas what's what's your name?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: A Abeste.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: He's really bothered him and and uh it's gonna be
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: hard for a he's not We don't have any designations
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: on it yet, but uh I he just lo he
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: just couldn't find the power. You know, he just got
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: worn down a little bit in the time he's played
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: over the last month, and and uh he couldn't find
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: it in this game.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And so we mean we had to get him out
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: of there.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Philip Hayes be designated his return. Is that a possibility?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And uh, Phill's gonna practice today and get some work
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and we'll just see what happens.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: It's his first week back.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: He's done a lot of work with the trainers and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and and uh, strength and conditioning, but we gotta see
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: how he does so. But it's it, it's positive. I
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: know he's very up beat about wanting to be part
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of this week.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Would they and you say it's gonna be hard, you
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: may come back?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: This lead yes to come back this week at least.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm just looking at that right now. It's only
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: about this week.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: You.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be able to make it
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: back either. He won't be able to practice today when
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you look.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: At that Arizona defense se and but what is in
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: colleges done?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: No, he's really good. Yeah, he's really good.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Guard Deck is really good too, and uh, I it's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it's really you can't help it, just.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Be attracted to watching Buddha.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Buddha's really featured in the in the scheme and uh,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: he's all over the place. And he's always been such
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: an exciting player to watch. I'm I've loved his out
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of play over the years, but they more so than
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: any time we've ever played a defense. This scheme is
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: really highlighting him in so many different ways.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: So, but Collins is doing good. You know the the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: he ain't guard acts.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I think they're sharing ten sacks between 'em or whatever,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and they they move them around and counting there. They
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: they're they're real energy motor, you know, aggressive kids that
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that really give them something on a in a special manner.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Last year, you guys took her of business and I
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: had a chance to watch the Packers this year with
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: games going at the same time.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Is there any score were watching it all during this game?
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Nah?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I N I'm not gonna be watching it. You don't
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: see what they do. But putting it on the board
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: depend on what's going on. It doesn't matter it. That
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter to us right now. We'll have plenty of
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: time to to find out what happened on the On
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the radio, you kind of mentioned that you thought that
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the empis to something that elimited explosive maybe guy you
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: guys heads.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: And and negatively impacted.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just giving 'em.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm just giving it a way that y I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: can try to explain it to you because I was
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: really I really did harp on uh staying on top
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: of the of the go balls that they had you know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: hitting the the week before, and I wanted to eliminate
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: those we did that, but we did it didn't.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: It might have been too much emphasis. Yeah, I'm I'm
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: just looking at the critique. Maybe that was the way
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: that it got based.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: On combos of gouds. You just kind of a hunted
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: your theory.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's a theory on my part. Yeah, it's uh,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you can call it a hunch of.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Your your running game on offense. How n what do
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: you feel like that I guess needs.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: To just more more.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: You know, we were efficient, we we had a good average,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: We we had line scrimmage moving and like we liked,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: we just need more and we we need to use
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: our opportunities. We need to use the conversions and and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and I keep going back to that cause we just
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: need to keep moving the sticks so that we get
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: our more h more chances.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Cause we ran the ball well. And Kenny looked really good.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Uh, Zach hid a couple but was really Kenny was
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: really really uh on it on this game. So we'll
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: hopefully we can pick up where we left off.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: It is is he okay or yes?
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: And he looked he looked very good.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Today, so that he looked much better than he did
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Wednesday the last week. Uh, in this walk through here,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: he was flying around pretty good. So it's a really
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: good sign.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: That tied up a little bit.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I I.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: If you give him space, he looks good, you know.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And and we we spaced it out pretty well. The
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the scheme up front or blocks were were well handled.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: He had the kind of room that he needs to,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you know, to do his thing, and and uh the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: touchdown and run was all almost a perfect play, you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: blocked and run and all of that. Uh, Kenny's he
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: he's got in to make make big plays out out
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of opportunities, and so we just have to keep creating
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: for him.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: The rest.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I I I don't know what
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I I.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but he's he's come back from a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: sore knee, and uh and after uh I don't know
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: how many games it's been maybe a month or something
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of games, it's kind of gotten sore again. And so uh, well,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't have the answer for you right there,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: but cause I'm not exactly sure which direction we go
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: with that. But you know, if if you can't get back,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: then you know, s soon we'll we'll get into.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: The depths of what what needs to be done. I
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: don't have I don't have the answer for you.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: What what sort of the psyche of the team you feel.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Like right now getting I'm I'm challenging the heck outam
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and finish this thing, you know, And I I don't.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I don't. I really really didn't listen today.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I was pretty much pushing it to we gotta get
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: ready to get going to have a great Wednesday, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that's all that's important right now. So I can't imagine
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that they're not totally on board to get get this
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: thing down, to get this win and see where we
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: see where it leaves us. What's been the most challenging
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: aspect of yous guide to trying.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: To get some consistency?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I I think I I I really do feel
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: like y O. Our youth shows up and uh, it's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: it's it's a that's a positive moving forward in and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: as we looked to the future, we c you can
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: see the future of this this club and and it
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: can go places and do do stuff and uh, but
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it it has a time. You know, we we're we're
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: not reacting as consistently as we'd like to. We see
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: really bright spots and then that doesn't it maybe doesn't resurface.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: It's that's just we haven't solidified, you know, the the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: mentality of our guys in terms of them being NFL players.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: There are still we had a lot of guys that
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: just came out of college the last couple years, you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and I I think that's a real positive. It's it,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: but it's frustrating as as h right now, you know,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: cause we're not getting all that we need to get
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: in a consistent basis. And it's gonna happen. It's there,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: and and that's why we've been so positive about it
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: because you can see it. But it we still got
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to go out and do it. And you know, when
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: we got in the middle of the schedule against the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: really top teams, you know, we were not quite able
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to get over the hump of those guys. We come
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: back and we get going again. We just we took
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a step back last week and we just didn't keep
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: going moving forward. And uh So, I mean, th that's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: one way looking at it, And I don't know if
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: that's the answer to it, but it feels like that
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and and you can kind of help by the kinds
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of you know, missed opportunities and in the areas that
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: we might make cause that it's just youth and it's
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: it's just not quite uh living together like you need
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to really be connected in the way that will happen
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: in the.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Future, I believe, cause that use a job on that
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: or uh, there's a lot. Yeah, we have work to do.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Yea, we have a lot of work to do and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and uh, but the outlook for the future is is
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: very positive because of the makeup of the guys, the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: way they wanna work, the way they go about it.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: They just need to be trained and and it needs
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to come back to another year where you see all
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: those guys that make that jump from year one to
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: year two and then we'd be f yere two to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: year three. That there there's gonna be a a real
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: positive movement for a club.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Has it been hard with us?
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Has it been a lot of movie parts for the
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: secondary the last few weeks with.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Injuries and stuff like that. It's it been hard for
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: those guys the continuity back there, And I.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Don't think that's hurt us though I don't.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's b we have you know, we've
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: kept it competitive to keep guys playing and trying to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: keep them at their best and progress, you know, get
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: make progress, not just you know, be status quo.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Julian's had a big influence, you know, in the last month,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and he's had played some great football and made a
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: lot of plays.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: And uh, I think he.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: And and Q have really settled, you know that that situation.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: It was hard when we had Jamal coming in and
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: we're you know, we're working different combinations of things. That's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: settled down a little bit. But I think the corners
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: in general are doing pretty good. But we didn't tackle
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: well at all last week and it was really inconsistent.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: So that is a that's a step that we need
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to come back to and make make sure we make
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that progress.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: MM in March when you signed Julie and you you
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: kind of described it as like he's just too good
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: of a player available even maybe people can see it
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: to fit there. Just now that he's playing the way
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: he is, what what have you seen out of him
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: relative to what you thought you were getting back then.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: His consistency to be available for the plays, the playmaking,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you know, it's there. You know, he's he's talented, he
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: sees things, he reactually well, he's got really quick feed
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: he's really nimble, and and he can get in and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: out of his brakes and come out of the middle
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and come out of his halves and stuff and cover
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: a ton of ground. And he's really responsible about making
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the plays that he should make in the running game.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: So he's he's a really good all around ball player.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And we see it carry over as he impacts the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: special teams group too. You know, he's always doing things right.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: He's he's making calls, he's making tackles. You know, he's
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: just a really good football player. And I I don't
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: may I think probably he's better than we thought, you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and and he's more complete than we thought. Well, well, yeah,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: he's running around today, and I'm really excited that he's he's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: gonna have a normal week and and he he's his
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: mind is ready. He knows he can play, and he's
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: ready to get back.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: So he's in good ship.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Shy, we'll you'll, you'll, we'll wait and see him now.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Sorry, you.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Shoot, he had a ton of tackles, you know, he's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: on a lot of hits. We had him for seventeen
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: or something like that, you know, and uh uh, I
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: thought he played a good, solid football game for the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the first time I really played all of that and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: having all that responsibility, he'll play faster, he'll you know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: he'll he'll make more hits on closer to the line
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: You know, we downfield a little bit. But I thought
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: he did a nice job.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Just to clari prayer with Jamal, I mean, you know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: like what, he need more work done.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And it's just time.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It's just time for the healing to to take place
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: with with the conditioning in the and in the training
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to to get him back to normal.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: You know, he's it's he.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Wasn't quite there, but he was good enough to go
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: for it. And and uh with the heart that he
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: had and brought to it. Sh you know, we we
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: went with it the whole way and and and hope
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that we could get over the hump and then he
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: might even get better during the season with it with
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: our training.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: But it didn't happen that way.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: It it he kind of stayed the same and wasn't
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: able to get take a step forward. So I just
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: after awhile we just had to take care of him.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, but you go to the the edge play uh
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: in the de Since.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: You've lost Chenner, it's hard to replace Chenda. Now, Jenna's
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: a really good football player and he's a he, he's
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: he he plays a little bit different than our other guys.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: You know, the other guys are kind of young and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: s s spry and quick and all that. He's he
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: as solid as a rock and uh he still moves
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: well and all that. But the other guys are a
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: little bit more shifty and kind of on the edge
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and and that. Uh, Chen's gonna take you right down
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the middle and he can knock the hell out of
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you and then he can make you miss too, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: uh he he just plays really strong and we miss that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: We really miss that, and it's unfortunate.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: All he's up to hundred and.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Sixty eight tackles, I think, the third third most in
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: his career.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Just obviously he brought him back for reason.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: But what is he's given you?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: You know, I when I know I've been asked that
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: all it cause it's such an interesting uh guy that
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to to keep track of it. He's had a fantastic
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: season coming back to us in in his leadership and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: uh h h. The the example that he sets for
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: other guys is I mean, he he don't have to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: say much. He just does everything well and write and uh.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: The fact that he's had a productive year and he's
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: making his plays and making a ton of tackles again,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and his his durability again, which is just so remarkable
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: throughout his career. It is just a statement of his
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: overall conditioning and development and maintain maintenance of of you know.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: All that it takes to do that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: It is incredible that he's played this much and and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: continued a hundred and sixty something tackle.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: That's amazing. So he's done everything we could've hoped for.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I think I I would think, yes, we would love
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: love to have him.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Are you.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Already banged his kN and uh, But I think he's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: in He's in pretty good shape.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: He's got a chance to get.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Back anything else. Thank you, Thanks
