• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, good to see everybody. Six-day week, so today's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: recovery day.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: We'll be walking through this afternoon and then kind.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Of go through all the rest of our process.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: We'll see how tomorrow goes based off of today in
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: terms of the plan, but for all intents and purposes,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: it's a Wednesday at this point, so off we go.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I did want to make an announcement before Sam injured
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: his quad at the end of the game, so Sam's
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: going to be out this week It'll be week to
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: week for Sam.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: He's not going to go on IR. Plan is for
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Drew to start. Jalen will be ready to back up.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Drew's still working back from his elbow, so we'll work
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: through that process this week.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: So we'll be getting both guys ready to play.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Got full confidence in those guys, and we have a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: plan in place, and we'll go execute.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: But in terms of Sam, I mean, this guy, he's
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: tough as nails.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think the second play of the game,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I'm just asking if I could share this, but he
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: cracked his rib on the second play of the game.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Playing the whole game without even making a name of
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: it and playing his tail off and competing, I think
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: it's worth noting how tough this guy is. He'll be
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: back soon and later, I'm sure.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: You said it was a quad injury? Yeah, it's a quad, right?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Do you know when that happened? I think it was
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: right at the end. I think it was the last drive.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: What is Drew able to do and not do with
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the elbow right now? How is he coming along there?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: He's able to throw. How much, we're working through that
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: right now, but that's the best way to put it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It's a different injury than Sam had in the playoffs.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: He's going to throw the ball throughout the week, but
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: we're just going to manage it. He's not going to
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: take 8,000 throws.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Do you need to add another quarterback this week? We
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: might be adding a quarterback.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Jalen will obviously get a lot of reps as well?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They'll be splitting reps for a certain amount of time.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I think we just have to take it kind of
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: day by day at this point. But Jalen will take
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: some practice reps as well. Today's a slow day, so
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: it's kind of hard to tell. We have a plan
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: for Drew to get some live throws later. But I
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: think it's just one of those things like you just
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: have to kind of work it day in, day out,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and figure what's the best way to get into Sunday.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Do you expect Charles Cross, Rashid Shaheed, Leonard Williams?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the rest of those guys, the guys that missed
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: last game or didn't finish the game, really no update
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: on that. It's still a little early. I'd say they
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: all have a chance to play. We haven't rolled anybody
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: out yet, so we'll see.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Mike, what was Locke's injury and how much has he
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: thrown in the last week?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: It's an elbow injury. All the fancy names, I can't
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: explain that to you, but he hasn't thrown much.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: And he got it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: When he was playing the two games before in September?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: No, he got it like we practiced in the rain,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and he got it in a just kind of get
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: aggravated in a rain practice.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Just to clarify, you say he's not going on IR,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: so just week to week he could play the following week?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yep.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Gray's able, obviously, big ass to have a young player
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: move from one side to the other and How do
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: you guys kind of think about, you know, you have
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Anthony there that's got some experience on the right side,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: or is it better for Gray to get the experience
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: in live reps? How do you guys kind of assess
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: that situation?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I think we.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Had to make the decision and go, you know, so
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: we're committed to that. I mean, we're confident in A.B.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to go in and play good football for us, but also,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you know, Gray's going to continue to get better as well.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: You understand that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: There's a process when you, We've played a lot of
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: games with our offensive line attack, maybe missing a guy
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: here or there. Charles missed a couple games last year,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: but got a lot of consistency and continuity at our
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: offensive line position, which has been great. But I think
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: it's worth it when you bring in a guy like
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Quinton to add to the group, and we feel like
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: that's going to be a, I think he's one of
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: those guys that's going to be a force multiplier for
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: our group, not just our offensive line, but really our
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: whole offensive unit and our football team.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: It's worth that initial investment.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Obviously, you want it to go quicker than not, but
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I think you also have to understand that.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: There is a process involved. The guys are working their
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: tails off. Again, they're constantly watching tape. They're getting after it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: They're putting in the time. They're putting in the investment.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I've got all the confidence in the world that we're
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: going to have a heck of an offensive line unit.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: How did Nelson look when you went back and looked
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: at the tape?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Considering the newness, he looked like Quentin Nelson, which is
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: pretty cool.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: He did a lot of good stuff.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: In the run game, what did you like about the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: way the running backs were used, or what would you.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Like to see differently?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Again, it's another example of, hey, there's some turnover there
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: with guys that haven't had the reps.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, think of Sharps.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: He hasn't had a live rep since the injury, unfortunately,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: so Um, there's some good stuff. I think, um, I
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: think we can run the ball better as a unit.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: We need to, we need to be able to run
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the ball better. I think we can, um, the runners
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: are a part of that. So they're, they're part of that, that, uh,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that guy collective effort to, to improve and, and, uh,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: be more effective.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: It's the first time we've seen that one, two combo of,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: of Charbonnet and Price on the field.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Could you see glimpses of, of what you envision that?
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's, there's some, there's, I think, I think you
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: go back, you watch the tape, um, the feeling that
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I had after that we had after the game of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: like that, that wasn't, that wasn't the best version of us.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And that's, that's, what's the most disappointing thing, you know?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: But having said that, I think our guys think there are,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't, I don't think it's not as
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: disappointing as it is. It's frustrating. And as is, you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: as a coach, you get emotional. However, you do have,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you do have to go in and, and identify that
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the positive things that do happen.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: It's not all, bad.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: There are good things that we can build off of,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that we will build off of, that we've been able
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to generate up to this point. That's how you have
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: to look at it. If you want to stay as
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: steady as possible and you want to keep climbing and
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: keep growing, I think that's the mentality you have to have.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Mike, how valuable to the locker room and the psyche
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: of the team is it what Drew did in September
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: for you for two.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: Games there right now?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I haven't thought about it like that because it's kind
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of like I think when we were Working through this,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: when Drew was to play, I thought it was very
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: workmanlike with the group because of the confidence they've had
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: in Drew, because of the training camp that he had
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and the football that he's played since he's been here.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I haven't been around the guys since we left, so
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: But I'm expecting it to feel the same.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Mike, in your continuing improvement process, you talk about operations
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: improving those, and you can't give trade secrets, but when
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: you look at the film, did you see anything about
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: your operations that you needed to change or anything stick
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: out for you?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we need to be better operationally. You know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I mean... Fair enough.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: We're not just going to go line up and snap
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the ball on the quick every snap, and we're not
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: going to go on two every snap.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: We're not going to go on one every snap.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: But how we take the line, how we motion and shift,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: how we get in and out of plays, I think
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: it has gotten better.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of plays where I feel us. I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: feel us.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Taking the attack to the defense is how we want
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to play offense. And, again, there's plays where that is,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you know, and there's plays where there isn't, you know.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: So we got to.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: We've got to focus on how we make our identity
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: come to life from play to play, and let's be
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: consistent over the course of the game. That's been a
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: consistent message we've had throughout the season. I think we
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: played probably our best game against Kansas City, and I
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: was really excited for our unit to grow, and we
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: didn't from our expectations. So we've got to go back
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to work and go figure it out.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: With the running backs, Zach started and Jadarian came in
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: after that. Is there sort of a desired snap count
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: or pecking order there at all?
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, again, without getting into pitch counts and
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: what the plan is, but.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: There are some.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Constraints on how much we can, you know, which is fair.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: You know, guys coming off injury. So there's things that
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: we have to, that we're working through, which is the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: best interest of the players so we can have them
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: for the long run. And so we have to work
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: through those things as well as what our plan is
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: for the players is how they work through the game.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: So it's not as straightforward as you might, you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: as a normal situation would be.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: How lessened are those constraints.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: This week for Price?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Do you know?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: They're lessened. Yeah, they're lessened. Yeah, yeah.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: You guys were one of the most efficient offenses in
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: the first 15 scripted plays or 15 plays last year
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: and not one of the most efficient this year.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: What do you.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Think goes into an offense being really good in the
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: first 15 plays?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I think, you know, we talk about just our
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: style of football here on our team, and it starts
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: with being decisive. So if we can, we've had some
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: good starts. We've had several not as good starts as
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: we want. I think it's kind of like defensively we
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: get to the red zone we don't execute as well
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: we get drives extended offensively you know there's kind of
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: a comedy of things that have happened after the drive
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: kind of gets off the ground for like very different
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: reasons so we have to do want a better job
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: of understanding, you know, what we're getting to earlier in
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: games and make sure everybody has a collective understanding about
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: what we're doing and why we're doing it. And then
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: also like, you know, the mental capacity to keep reattacking
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: from play to play.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: So we understand.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: We can, we can string a drive together and go
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: put points on the board, but we definitely want to
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: start faster for sure.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Do you see that as more about what you guys are,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: how you're executing or that maybe defenses are giving you
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: looks that you didn't expect or both?
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Uh, you, you like to, you like to always keep
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: it in, in, um, in the world of like the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: things that you can control. So I think, I think, um,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: we're going to focus on us playing it, like executing
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: it better and calling it better and game planning it better.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: First with the glute injury, now the quad injury, just
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: how have you seen Sam handle what's physically been a
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: pretty challenging start to the season?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's, um, it's, it's been, it's tough, you know, but, uh,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Just seeing him now, talking to him after the game,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I know it's a challenge. But he's got a lot
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: of respect for how he goes through these things because
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: he goes through it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: There's no blink. There's no flinch.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: It's very matter-of-fact attacking mentality, which I think that's reflective
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: of the rest of our team, which I appreciate.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Did he report this after the game, or did you
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: notice anything during it?
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Well, the quad was at the end, so we knew
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that was an issue at the end. I wasn't aware
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: of the rib throughout the game until after.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Do you think it impacted, I mean, obvious question, I guess,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: but did that impact his play the rest of the game, or,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, with the rib?
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: What do you think, Bob?
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it did.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your adrenaline's going.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's tough, but like it's, I think we
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: could play through the rip we he could I'd be
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: fine doesn't affect me, but I think I don't want
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: to speak.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: For him, but it's right now.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: It's the It's the it's the quad that's holding him
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: out right now passing.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: On first down is like one of the most efficient
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: ways things you can do across the league, but you
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: also want to get the run game established. How do
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: you kind of go about balancing your priorities there?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: It's a great question.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: There's sequencing involved. There's going back to the operation of
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: like how a how aggressive do we want to be
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: without getting into like how we are, you know, explaining
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: how we operate, but there there's, I guess there's a
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: time and place for both having an understanding of when
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: to hit the button is, is important. I'm having a
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: hard time giving you an answer without kind of letting
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: them know like how we, how we think about some
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: of these situations. So I just say like, I don't know.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: This is probably my worst answer in a while. Sorry.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Well, part of the reason I'm asking is because some
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: folks are like, hey, there's too many situations of like run, run, pass,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: and you have these third and longs. It feels like
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: effectiveness of the run is a pretty big thing that
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: you guys want to see, like relative to where things
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: are going in the past. How are you guys kind
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: of prioritizing getting that part of your game?
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you also— we believe in our offensive
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: line going forward and having the quarterback play decisively and fast.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: And a lot of times in order for that to
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: come to life is you have to minimize the amount
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: of times everybody knows you're dropping back. So yeah, sometimes
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: you need to call pass, pass, run, run, run, run, pass.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: You know, if you alternate, you know, there's psychos out
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: there that, have computers that find out when you're going
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: to pass the ball and how you're going to pass it.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: And now you just gave them the advantage.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: So there's, that's just, you know, that's it's sometimes it's frustrating.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: You know, you have to be able to live with, Hey,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: we got stuffed on a run and we got stuffed
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: on a run again.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: You know, could we get in a better run? Is there,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: could we get out of the run?
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's, there's mechanisms in place that, that people have,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: you know, that you have to be able to use.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: And I think it's a process of figuring out like
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: where you're, how well your team executes, you know, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: keep it in the wheelhouse. There's factors at play there,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: but you have to live through some of those bumps
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: to maintain, like, some level of, you know, not letting
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: teams guess what you're going to be in all the time,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and then they can attack. Because, you know, as soon
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: as you start seeing exotic stuff on second long, everybody
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: knows that you're dropping back.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: That means you're giving it away.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: When it comes to red zone defense, you said in
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: the past you can't just tell guys to tackle battle.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: That's not a helpful coaching point.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: So where do you start with the coaching points and
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: what you want to see in the red zone? Well,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I think this is one of those things where it's like, hey,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: let's go work the problem. So how are we practicing it?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: How are we installing it every week? I think we
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: need to get to some solutions quicker in the week,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: and then we need to practice it earlier in more.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: High-stress environments. that's going to be our philosophy moving forward.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: And again, if we just kept banging our head against
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: the wall, doing the same thing, expecting a result, then
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I think that would be foolish. So we're going to
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: make some adjustments on that front.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Arizona new quarterback this week.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a half game sample size, but do
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: they look different with Gardner than what you would have
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: seen earlier this season?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: It's tough to tell with the, with the, with the
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: limited time. I mean, they're, they're, they're in comeback mode,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: you know, but unfortunately like that's a, He's played some
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: good games that I've been a part of with Gardner.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: He's a good player, man. He's a playmaker.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I think he sees the field really well. He's got
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a playmaking ability to him. Decisive with the football. So
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: he's done a lot of good things throughout his career
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and he's won a lot of games.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: So we have respect for him.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: It's a good unit. It's a good complimentary unit. They
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: play good complimentary football.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Mike, with Drew's elbow, Do you need to see him
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: make all the throws this week because he hasn't made
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: many throws?
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think what we said earlier, like I don't know.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: There's not like a line that we say, okay, we
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: have to hit the line and then we're good. It's
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: like let's go through the process every day. Let's go
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: reevaluate and then we'll go from there on where we
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: are because at some point we have to make a
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: decision on who's playing and if he's going to play
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: because the plan is for him to play. But it
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be fair to Jalen to go the whole week
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: and then tell him, I can't play. You know, Jalen's
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: going to need some of those reps too. So that's
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: something that we have to manage the next few days.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Anything else? Thank you.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
