  Speaker 1: Trevor, how much value to put in joint practice like this,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Is it as good as a preseason game in your mind?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's I think it's great in some ways.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I think it's better because you get to really, you know,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: hand pick the situations you do and get to.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Get all that work in.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Like it's hard in preseason you don't know which situations
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: are gonna come up, how much you're gonna play, all
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: that stuff. But out here, you know, you can kind
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: of protect yourself a little bit, but also get the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: work in, get a lot of plays, get a lot
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of different situations work.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: So that's that's really good.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: So I thought it was a good week for us,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: just situationally to go into the other team and other defense.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: You know, we've been seeing our defense all camp, go
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: against another squad where we hadn't really seen some of
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: their stuff and get to just work that.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I think it's been good for us. I feel like
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: that way you need it out of it. I know
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: today wasn't in full pads or anything, but yeah, I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: thought it was good.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I thought, you know, we flew around, it was really competitive.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I thought both teams, you know, it was real competitive.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: We were battling, and he loved to see that. It got,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: you know, fiery, and that's that's what this game is about.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: So that was cool to see and to see that
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: competitive competitiveness come out of everybody. I think that was great.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: And like I said, situationally, it is good work, a
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: lot to learn from. You know, it's a lot of good,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: lot of bad in the last two days, and just
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to watch the tape and have this, I think it's
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: gonna be really valuable for us and I'm sure for
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Detroit as well. So I think it just it does
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of good. A couple of injuries here and there,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you worry at all about the offensive line and some
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: of the shuffle there. Yeah, you know, I'm not really sure.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't speak on kind of that stuff
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: because I don't really know. I'm not in the loop
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: on all of that. But obviously, you hope you get
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: those guys back as soon as possible. You know, we could,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: we could use them all, So hopefully those guys get
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: back soon. But you know, whatever group's in there, the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: guys are prepared. You know, we work really hard. They've
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: done a great job of getting up to speed and
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you know, we're really deep, so you feel confident with
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: those guys, but obviously you never want to see guys
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: go down until playing time. Do you feel like you
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: need to play a certain amount going forward or you
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: feel like you're in a good spot. Yeah, And that's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: just something that the coaches aside and they tell me
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and we kind.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Of talk about that stuff.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: And I think it's good to get the reps and
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to get those live reps where it is well, full speed,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: full contact. It's it's a game. You know that that's
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: different than him being in practice in this red jersey.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: So I think that's just a different So I think
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: it's good to kind of get back in the flow
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: of things. How much that is, you know, I don't
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: really necessarily necessarily have the answer for that, but I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: think there's definitely good to it to playing.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Prefor to these a couple of days meet your expectations.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: It was great.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I thought it was really, Like I was just saying,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I thought it was really competitive.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: You see that.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: You see it coming out of both teams, and I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: thought it, you know, it's good. That's that's how this
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: game is played. It's played with a lot of energy
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and passion and it's cool to see us, you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: going back and forth and competing. So I think that
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: was great. And then we got some really good work
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: in situationally and threw kind of everything at us.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And seeing a new defense. I think that's good for
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: us too.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You know, we've seen our defense now for two and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: a half three weeks, and it was good to see
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a new new team, new looks, new presentations, different personnel,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: all those things.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I think it was really good for us. As a competitor.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: You just you like the Yeah, I like it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: It makes it fun. And then obviously with Chauncey over there,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you get you get plenty of that, you get a
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: lot of doses of the of the talking. So it
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: was fun. I think, like I said, it was really intense.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Didn't really cross the line too many times, you know.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I think that's the big thing is you still want
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: to protect each other. This isn't these aren't games, you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: everyone and everyone is trying to get to the fall
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: where these where the games mean something. And I think
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: that's the big thing to keep in mind is you
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: want to be healthy. So I think we took care
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: of each other. We got a lot of good work
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: in but the competitive competitiveness was there, and I think
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: that's the big thing.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Let's talk to Kevin. You said, you guys seem you're
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: in sync. Do you feel that way with the entire
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: offense right now? I know it's not a finished product,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: but yeah, is that a good word for it? Right now?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: We're getting there. We're getting there.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I think the last two days me and Evan have
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: had two really good days, just us working together and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: some of the different routes he's ran, just the communication
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: being in sync. Like you said, I thought it was
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: really clean just as an offense as a whole. I mean,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to be completely honest, we got to clean some things
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: up procedurally. We got to be cleaner. We gotta be
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: more detailed, more consistent. Too many little mental errors and
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: some of them me as well, So it's all of us.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: We got to be more consistent. But our highs are great.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: We just got to eliminate some of the lows and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I think that's gonna be a big thing for us.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So we're getting better. But like I said, we don't
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: play for a few more weeks. We've got time. But
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that's that's the one thing to take away
