- 0:00Speaker 1: Great, great.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Sorry, John still in the protocol optimistic though, you know,
- 0:09Speaker 2: still has to get through another phase, but he's doing well.
- 0:12Speaker 1: How about Evan Ingram, Devin Lloyd and Darnell's.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Yeah, Devin will be good, Savage will be good. Both
- 0:21Speaker 2: those guys should play. Evan I think is still still
- 0:24Speaker 2: day to day. He's he's done some good things this week,
- 0:27Speaker 2: but we'll get through today probably be game time, but
- 0:29Speaker 2: but uh, well, we'll see where he's at later and
- 0:31Speaker 2: you know, as we get closer.
- 0:33Speaker 1: And in the past you said us passing as an
- 0:38Speaker 1: extension of the run game, sometimes maybe something short and
- 0:41Speaker 1: then that's sort of the run game in itself as well.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Do you feel like you got enough.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Out of that this year. Well, I'm I'm just thinking
- 0:54Speaker 2: through your question a little bit. I think there's there's
- 0:59Speaker 2: ways of doing it right. You can do it with
- 1:00Speaker 2: advantage throws off the run. You can do it with RPOs.
- 1:04Speaker 2: You can do it with three step or quick passing,
- 1:07Speaker 2: you can do it with screens. There's there's a multitude
- 1:11Speaker 2: of ways, you know, you can extend your run game,
- 1:14Speaker 2: and I think we've we've kind of hit all of those,
- 1:17Speaker 2: probably more so than say the r p o Right, Yeah,
- 1:22Speaker 2: hey Doug.
- 1:22Speaker 1: The last week we talked about the offensive tackles being
- 1:25Speaker 1: inconsistent the first couple of weeks. Last week, it seems
- 1:29Speaker 1: like they played well. What what changed? How How did
- 1:31Speaker 1: they take it from one week.
- 1:32Speaker 2: To the next. You know, I just think they approached
- 1:35Speaker 2: it from up maybe maybe a couple of ways. One,
- 1:40Speaker 2: they were probably taking a little bit of heat, you know,
- 1:43Speaker 2: outside the building, and so they take that personal, you know,
- 1:46Speaker 2: and and just want to want to play better. You know.
- 1:49Speaker 2: I think the work that they've done now, the five
- 1:52Speaker 2: guys playing together, you know, for the first four weeks,
- 1:56Speaker 2: can also help that. Knowing that you're playing against two
- 1:59Speaker 2: really edge rushers again, you know that Houston has they
- 2:03Speaker 2: they really stepped up to the challenge. I just think
- 2:06Speaker 2: that in itself, you know, they take a lot of pride,
- 2:10Speaker 2: you know, in their work and and really really stepped
- 2:13Speaker 2: up and played played really really well, played their their
- 2:16Speaker 2: best game. And I thought last week the offensive line
- 2:20Speaker 2: for the most part, you know, for the whole game,
- 2:22Speaker 2: really played their best, you know, best game for the
- 2:25Speaker 2: season so far. Getting burnel back is obviously big because
- 2:28Speaker 2: he's talped player, but what about his experience going in
- 2:32Speaker 2: there just because it's such a young secondary round him. Oh,
- 2:35Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's it's big to get
- 2:37Speaker 2: him back, bring some leadership, you know. Uh brings a
- 2:42Speaker 2: little energy out there, you know in a veteran, veteran
- 2:45Speaker 2: player who's who's played. It takes nothing away from what
- 2:48Speaker 2: Jarian has done that Jarian Jarian played, He kind of
- 2:51Speaker 2: played through injury last week and really did a great
- 2:54Speaker 2: job and has done a great job. And it's learning,
- 2:56Speaker 2: you know, Jarian is learning right and now getting sav
- 2:59Speaker 2: back he can he can learn more from from him.
- 3:02Speaker 2: And Uh, we're slowly getting you know, getting some of
- 3:06Speaker 2: our pieces, some of our injured players back
