• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's good to be coming back.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: We need to get going here at home and coming
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: back to lumin is a big deal to us, and
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: we didn't get off to the right start, and so
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: we get another chance at it. Our focus is to
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: regain the kind of mentality that got us the kind
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: of finish that we had last week, and so we
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: do things right all the way through the end of
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the game and give ourselves that chance to win a
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: football game. So we know we see a very hungry
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: team coming in here. Caroline is hungry to get their win,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: get going. They're tough and they're physical upfront. They like
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: to run the football. They play really good upfront and
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: run in pass a terrific pass rush. So you know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: this is a huge game for us, and I'm really
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: hoping that we can find the feeling and capture the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: feeling of how you finish and regardless of what happens
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: earlier in the game, and you do good job at
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the end so that you have a chance to win.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: So that's really the focus for us this week.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: With all the front office connections that Carolina has to
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: your front office, you see similarities and like how they're
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: built and the players that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: They go after.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're there and they have been there long enough
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: to really show that. But yeah, because philosophically they come
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: from a similar spot and so we understand the guys
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that they pick, you know, and and we're familiar kind
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: of with their thinking so and there are with us
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that you're right on that. That is that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: definitely is starting to show up.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: The numbers don't always tell the story. When you have
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: a rookie more back, what makes him off throat or
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: what do you really have to to pay attention to it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Well, he's the best player in America, you know, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and uh, he's got great instincts and savvy and and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: play making and confidence and and.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: All of that stuff or they wouldn't have done it,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And I think this is their third number one picking
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: or over getting a quarterback.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So we expect him to be terrific if he's the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: guy out there playing, and we expect him to be
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: able to do a lot of stuff. He's a very
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: natural athlete and real gifted athlete, so he can move
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: real well and all that, so he can create stuff.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So those always those guys always cause problems.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Well when you had him Seeland there too to be
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a safety.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Never him.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: You've seen belanded up over the years. Why is he
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: a great pass catcher?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that you just count on.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: He's done it so much for so long that you
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: know that he's gonna make the right choice and the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: right decision. He's got all the savvy that a receiver
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: could have, and so I mean he's a he's a
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: focal point. They've got other guys too, now they've got
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: they got a good crew. So but he's definitely agather
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: they're trying to target.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: When you were looking at quarterbacks throughout the draft process,
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: what stood up to you about Brightce and the player
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: he was and evaluation.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a great experience.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Really we enjoyed the heck out of that and getting
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to see the guys and get to talk with them
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and all that didn't give us insights into the guys.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And he was just overall the most productive performer, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: he had control of the game and did so many
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: things so naturally, so smart and so so tuned into
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: He was just really impressive.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So you know, there was a huge decision for those
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: teams to figure that out. And uh, man, I can
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: see why they took him first because he's he's a winner,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: he's a champion, He's won at every level. He's always
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: been great, and so you expect that to happen on
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you know, here in the league too.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: This time, the big challenge is getting over a tough loss.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: How similar different is the process of Okay, all that
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: emotion of the.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Win, we got to put that behind this.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this is really what you know, what
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: this day is about for us is to is to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: deal with what happened properly, you know, after Monday, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: get back in here and put our focus back in
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: order so that we can get ready for the next
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the next challenge. And so I mean this is kind
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of a classic one extreme other extreme. You know, we
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: had a terrific game on the road under all those
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: circumstances coming off the mess we we through here. So
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: in both directions, the uh, the previous game can cause
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: distractions and keep you hung into the you know, whatever
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: just happened, and we try to have a tremendous discipline
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: about learning how to do that so we can always
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: come back and always get back on track. I think
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: it's been you know, it's been something we've been doing
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: for a long time. It's a skill that guys acquire,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: but that we need the experiences to do it. So
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: there were so many things that came out of that
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: this game this past week that are measurably important to us,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you know, and for learning and getting better and growing
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the lessons and all of that. The most important thing
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: is really being disciplined about coming right back to work.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: What we did last week has nothing to do with
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: what's going on now.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Many seasons are weeks. Does it take a guy to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: internalize that? And actually that's a good question. I don't
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know that, Greg.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: What what for a guy that really internalized, where he
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: really acts on it and all? I don't know, But
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: he needs to feel the guys around him. That's what's
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: more important. So they feel the leadership, and that's exactly
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: what we learned last week, you know, and the leadership
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: can give them insights that they wouldn't be able to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: get to on their own, and so they just kind
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: of follow along. So's that's why it's important that we
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: verbalize and you know, and point out the illustrations and
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and try to get better. Is that not like one
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: time you just tell 'em and then they figured out,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: this is how many times can you keep coming back
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to the same theme and and from a different way
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: in a creative manner so that the guys you capture
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: more guys to to learn.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: And understand and take advantage of it. When did you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: learn the importance of that?
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: In in in the NFL structure, how the Wednesday was
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: the cutoff day of.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: What's moved on to the next.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Well, and it's about twenty years now, I've been doing it,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: you know this way I I d I wasn't really captured.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I didn't really have this captured back in the uh
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: in the New England days or the Jets days. This
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: is this is more recent than that. So whatever it
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: was good.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It was recon walked into day. Excuse me, he can
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: have walked through? Yeah, no, how'd he come?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: He's pretty sure, Yeah, he's he's pretty sore. It's gonna be, uh,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: you know, a pretty good recovery for him to get back.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Jason's had a couple of un characters dis places in
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: hospital games.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Have you had a conversation with him and.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: We're just just them back in the whole way.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: You know, when I'm totally in supporting that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: He's gonna he's gonna hit the next one that we kick.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And after the couple he came right back and banged
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: it and did fine.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: So you know, we love him.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: He's been a great player for us and we're counting
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: on him.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Is to clarify with Wollan, did you say it's going
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: to take a big recovery to get back by Sunday?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yes? Is is I r in play right now? Is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that now?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: How has a Sorry Charles, he's getting he's getting better. Yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: he's feeling more confident and that he's making progress. Well,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: just it's a it's a day to day you know, uh,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: observation to see how he's making progress.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: He wasn't inn walk through today what happened.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: With Mike Morris either your decision taking there and it's
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: something to have further surgery.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he does.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And uh, he's got a shoulder issue that it's been
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: around and so now it's just aggravated to the point
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: where this the best.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Thing we can do is to get him well. So
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he's gonna get operated on.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: They're figuring out now when when to do it, and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: there's not a rush to do it, but he'll do it,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: you know, in the near future. Here we're thinking the
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: next week or so. But it's really unfortunate. Mike had
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: done such a good job with us, had made such
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: a good impression on us, and we had a whole
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: role mapping out for him to fit in and all that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: We just have to put it on hold, you know.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: And and he's sick about it, and we're all sick
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: about it, but that's what happens sometimes, and we got
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to get him right and fix him up. And this
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: is a surgery that takes, you know, months so to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: recover from. He will recover and he'll be fine, but
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: it just takes a while. So every of us think
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Jason Peters could play this week. I don't know if
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: it's realistic or not. We're taking that one one week
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: at a time. See, he came out of the first
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: week pretty good, didn't, you know, didn't feel too too stoved.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Up or at all. And and so we'll see how
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: this week goes.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: It two to three weeks is probably at least what
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: it should take.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe by the end of the week he
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: could be available, but by next week. If he makes
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: it through and everything goes smoothly than than then we'll
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: really be talking about his availability.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: After the game.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: That Peters really helped him last week, and you happen
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to see that or see the impact that.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Peter said, matter of fact it did you know? And
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I I I talked to Jason about it today. You
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: know it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: It's it was really cool. It's kind of like Adrian Peterson,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: did you know. It's the same kind of impact. These
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: guys are such have such great stature and such they
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: resonate with the kids, you know, the younger guys so
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: well that they really can have an impact. What's cool
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: about Jason when like h like Adrian, they cared about
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: it helping the guys, you know, they really it was
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: important to him to see if he could, you know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: have an impact. So he contributed to our win in
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the ways that he could, you know, and so and
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: all that he's he's he's competing just like we.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: You know, we.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: Hope you guys are undering the Super Bowl team Sunday,
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: do you allow yourself.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Time to kind of reflect on that.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a little schedule and there's some things
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: going on.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not paying attention to it yet. There's something coming
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: up on Friday.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Uh, I know what's happening, and I told them the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: players about it and all that, but other than that,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: we're not gonna do much with it, you know, and
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: and whatever we have to do. We'll see the guys

• 9:19
  Speaker 2: so we'll hope they have a great time with it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Some of those guys from that team have said being
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: part of a winning culture also taught them how to
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: engage in the community because they're competitors, so they wanted
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: to find ways to help and to make things better.
• 9:33

  Speaker 2: so far and we we're not uh, just this is

  Speaker 1: It totally did. I mean it was I it was.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I made a big deal about it to you guys
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: because it was a remarkable moment and and it wasn't
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: so much what he said, It was the reaction that
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: he gained from it, and uh, I mean it led
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: us right into a fantastic week and and uh and
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: performed in accordance with you know, kind of the leadership
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: that he he set out.

• 11:48
  Speaker 2: a good sign, cause sometimes this takes quite a while
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: for the for the effect of it. So he's doing fine,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: and he's getting around fine and all that, and he's

  Speaker 2: but he's gonna be all right.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Do you think that Jamal has a chance could possibly
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: play for you this week if things go well through
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: the week or do you not know that yet?
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: There's always the possibility that the guy, you know, he
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: could play cause he's practicing with us. He'll go full
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: go today and and have a great week.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: We're playing it on, you know, making sure that we
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: don't do it until the time is exactly right. So
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: we're trying to just measure that sensing from how he
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: feels and all that he's really excited about how close
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: he is now. So let's see what happens with Witherspoon.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Do you want to keep him on the left side
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and for now or do you want him to play
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: some inside at all? That's a possibility for us, you know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: because we have worked him inside and and uh, you know, you.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: See how how we'll fit it together. But he's capable.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: He he'll play inside really well when the time comes
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: if we get him in there.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: So I liked the way it happened.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: It was hard enough on him as it was just playing,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: you know, side the whole time and not having to
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: jump in and out and all.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: But he's really capable, So we'll see how that goes.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: You mentioned that you talked to whether it's gotten during
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: the game, and he said he said that it came
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: easy for him. So is there messaging about the contestency
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: from that opportunity from last week to this week and
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: continue to perform.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: At high level? Yeah?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you don't know right now. It's his
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: first game to his to his first second game, you know,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: and so we have to see how he responds. I'm
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: watching him really carefully and talking with him during the week.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Same thing with Trey Brown. Trey Brown had a great
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: football game last week. I talked to him today about it.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: You know what that you know, how that can impact
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: this next week. And you know, whatever the conversations that
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: he's involved with and interviews or whatever's happened, and you know.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: They can affect a guy.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: So all of those, every one of these guys has
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: got a story that we're working with, you know, and
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: some guys are more obvious than others. Spoon playing for
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: his first time, first game, how did it impact him?
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: You know, I've already talked him about it. You know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: how's he handling it and all that? And you know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I'm learning, you know, I you know, we haven't had
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: enough chance to really see him respond to stuff. So
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I can't tell you how he's gonna do. But if
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing he's gonna do great, He'll be He'll gain
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: from the first experience, he'll be more clear, more comfortable
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: with it, and and he'll feel feel even better and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: maybe gets rid of a couple of players that happened
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: that you know that we didn't like. So it's nothing
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: but positive, you know, in in in how he's gonna handle.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: This lost this Caroline's defenses put up pretty good numbers
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: for a few games.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: What why do they do well? They're really tough upfront.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: They're they're they're tough upfront on the run and rushing
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: the passer. Their technique solid and scheme wise good. They
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: look for their chances to highlight their guys in the rush.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: They got a fantastic rusher in in Burns and and
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: you know they it's just a good group and in
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: every way. I if Shaq doesn't play, I'm not sure
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: how that goes here without him. He he's a really
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: good player too, and so that would be somewhat of
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: a loss.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: But they're they're loaded. You know, this is a really
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: good group.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: Would where you're a running game is after two weeks, seeing.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: We need to keep working. We're not where we need
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to be. It's we're not there where. We got a
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: lot of work to do.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: This is gonna be very difficult against these guys as well.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: But we we're not there yet. Were our consistency is
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: not there. There's you know, we just gotta keep keep
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: at it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you liked about your running defense through two weeks.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Everything really, everything that we're doing right now is IS
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: is a big improvement. Really, the containment and in the
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: perimeter play is I is really cleaned up. That's al
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: that's that's minimizing the the breakout plays was one. The
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: aggressiveness and the toughness of the guys up front. Uh,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: it it fits, it's fitting together well. And we've been
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: very very aggressive with how we've been playing that and uh,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: hopefully we can keep you wrong.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: You go.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: You guys are counting on jvat a lot in that
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: aspect as he kind of delivered what you're expecting through
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: two leads.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, absolutely, he's been a huge factor for
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: us and and uh so we really we were counting
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: on him and he's a big part of the scheme. Well,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: you know, hopefully that he can keep going in and
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: doing his thing. So played on somebody, Well, yeah, I
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: thought he played well again. He said two really good
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: back to back weeks for coming off you know, inactivity
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: and all that. He seems more confident, more accurate with
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: his fits and in his assignments, and not so much assignments,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: but just playing the scheme. And uh, I'm really excited
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: that he looks so good. He looks physical and fast
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and tough. He's made some terrific plays and he's fit
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: with He and Bobby have both they both played really
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: well and that's been a big part of the run game.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: They've tackled well and hit well and really secured some
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: great stops.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: A stresses it puting a defense.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: When you have multiple tight ends, you can contribute like
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: that on Sunday versus maybe have some teams just.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Have like one really dominant guy, you know.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know that makes that much difference,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: because if there's only one guy in the field, it's
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: the tight end position, you know. But it's a great
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: asset for us. I thought that was a great showing
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: by our three guys. They played great in that game
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: and all had a significant impact and formidable plays and
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: and all of that. So, you know it, I don't know,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: it sounds good to think that that's what we're having
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: to handle the Titans. Well, it just depends on how
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: they are on the field at the time. Of what
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: we're doing with him and all that, but our guys
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: are all capable of really being, uh being factors.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Those guys Will Coolby and Noah make it out of
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: the game healthy.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Will's a little banged up. Yeah he got he get banged.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: He's had his shoulder. It's been bothering. So the other
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: two guys were okay, no it took a good shot,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: but he's he was. I think he's going today and
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: and uh, we'll hold Will back today.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: What has Trey Brown showed you? I mean, comes back
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: from the injury, comes back from starting and then not
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: starting on Sunday.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: What does he speak keeps coming back?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: He's he's he's competed, his tail off did to be
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: there all the time for us. He's I always remind
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: you guys that, you know, he started way back when
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: you know, before he got banged up, and that's because
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: he had played really well and he'd shown what he
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: shows now. He's consistent, he's quick, he's really explosive, he's
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: got good instincts. Uh, he's got playmaking in him. So
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: you know, the competition has been terrific at this position.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: He's had a great camp and in this game, in particular,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: he just he just lit it up and did some
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: great stuff. That's not really a surprise because that's what
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: he's shown and what he's played like. He's very capable,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: so he's shown nothing but positive stuff and he's he
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: looks like a guy that belongs out there.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: The follow up on that would be I think you
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: mentioned before that DJ Reid kind of showed you that
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: that body type or style could play here.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Is that is brown played by cam or is he
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: different on?
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: And I see him physically a little bit different? But
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: you're You're both guys are very very aggressive, you know,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: and they they really are willing to take their shots
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: because they're really confident players, and that usually is it's
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: kind of like what Spoon's like to you know it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: They position themselves sometimes better than other guys because they're
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: willing to go for it and they're very get a
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: lot of confidence to make that happen.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Are you in the fifty three? What do you kind
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: of thought about Hi Hit? What his roles for you guys?
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: He's done really well.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: This is by far the best we've seen already. He's
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: been the most consistent, the most directed, all the way
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: through the off season, and uh, I'm really glad for
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: him that that he's he he's elevated his play and
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: he's you know, playing in the nickel spot and he's
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: done a nice job. He's done a nice job hitting
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: and tackling and doing all the things that that that
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: job demands. You know, I'm happy for him that he gets,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: you know, to get on the full time roster and
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and and all that. But he's been part of this
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: deal the whole way, and so we're really excited about him.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Sind't fit into the cornerback nex right now.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: He's right there, Mike.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Mike's had a terrific run with us too, So it's
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: just that there's a lot of competition right now.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Mike's a verse little player.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know, we we like what what he
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: brings and have no problem if he's in the game.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: We feel comfortable just like we did last year with him.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: So it's just been very competitive and so it's it's
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: a tough spot to break in right now, but he
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: still is. We have all the confetence in the world
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: to play him and you know, jump in there and
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: do whatever we need him to do.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: He given a the movements of cornerback. What kind of
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: leadership have you seen from Pandit Jiggs especially.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: In the game.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Q is amazing leader. You know.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: They guys have so much respect for him because of

  Speaker 2: the way he handles himself, the way he plays.

  Speaker 1: He's such a tough, tough guy out there.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: So he's been very important to us, you know, in
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: working with Julian and making sure that you know, he
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: came along and fit together with all that.
• 20:27
