  Speaker 3: Honestly, I know we're getting but it's amazing how that stuff.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: And I shouldn't be amazed, but like playbook information, all
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: this stuff gets out there if it's I don't know
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: if it's a player that takes it or a coach
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: that takes it or next thing. You know, it's like, whoa,
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: there's all your stuff, but it doesn't matter, so you
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: gotta stop it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Can you can you give us a tremor update?
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Geez? Break all the fun there? Okay, here we go.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to stall Jean. Can you tell yuck yuck? Yeah,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously it's it's uh, we got one more
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: day today. He's been very limited, you know, all week.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: It is trending obviously in a way that's probably to
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: not playing or leaning towards not playing. But well we'll
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: see today where he's at. He felt good today and
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: you know, Max Max ready to go if need be.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's just it's just it's sin it's out.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: How much confidence do you have the MAC.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I've got a lot of confidence. You know, he's he's
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: he's somebody that prepares extremely hard, extremely well. Uh, he's
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: a smart kid. You know, you go back to even
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: some of the pre season stuff and in what he
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: did then as far as preparation and all that and
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: how he played. He's gonna he's gonna be fine. He'll
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: be he'll be excited. Obviously, home game, home, you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: home crowd, home fans, his people, so to speak. But
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of confidence.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: And kind of tailor stuff to the quarterback doesn't leave.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: How much would you have to change if it's Trevor
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: compared to Mac.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's it's with anybody, especially at the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: quarterback position. You know, I'm not I don't want him
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: to be Trevor. So we're not going to give him
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Trevor type play, but we're gonna give him Mac type plays.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: And and we want Mac to run the offense. We've
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: got enough variety that that we can tailor it to
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: him or CJ or Trevor or you know, whoever's playing.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: But makes make And this is what I appreciate about
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: all our quarterbacks, and this week, if it's if it
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: is Mac, just his communication with us right and and
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and what he likes doesn't like and and his comfort level.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: He said on your on your radio show side, did
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you learned this last year with Trevor that if he
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't practice during the league, maybe it's it's not the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: ideal set up the other So is that a part
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of this It's.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Part of it. Yes, yeah, And that's why I said
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: it's it's trending the other way, so you know, it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: it's hard. I think that's that's something I learned last year.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: And and with the quarterback too. If if you're not
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: getting the the reps during the week, it's just hard
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: to go. And it's with any player, but I think
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: at the quarterback position especially, is there potential.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: For surgeries season?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Any surgery for I?
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: I would leave that up to the medical professionals. I'm
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: not a doctor. It's hard to I'm not gonna speculate
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: on that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: No, at this point.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Not at not at this point. I And again I
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: the severity of it. I again I I don't get
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: into all the medical side of it, so I don't
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: really know all of that. I don't have PhD after
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: my my name. But yeah, you're always you're always optimistic.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: You know that that any player can return, especially the quarterbacks.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: So we'll we'll see as uh as each week and
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: each day goes by.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I mean his personality does that kind of he's the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: transition cause he's kind of like one of the guys
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: kind of. I mean he has a different kind of personality,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: different vibe with in relationship with the guys that Trevor,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you know what.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: It does that and he he's been a starter in
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: this league, right and and he's he's done that. It'd
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: be different probably if it was a rookie, a true
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: rookie that was having to maybe play you know, when
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: you're trying to get that person ready. But with Mac,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: you know, this week, I've seen it with just the
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: conversation and how he's worked with the with the offense
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: you know, in practice and the reps he's gotten and
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the communication there. So yeah, it's it's different. But at
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: the same time, I think it does for a coach,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: gives you a little bit of a peace of mind
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: that this is a veteran player that has kind of
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: been there and done it exactly and this would be
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: a great opportunity if he plays. How is too and.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Seven not to say you're out of it, but how
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: much of a role does the record play in getting
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Tremor more time to make sure he's healed out.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's a it's a good question. It's
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: kind of a hard question to answer, I think because
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: by no means or you know, whatever happens in this
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: football game. I just don't think you're you're going to
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: throw in That's how I mean, that's not that's not
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: how I operate. It's not how these players have operated.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: You go into every football game trying to win that game,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: and and so it's hard to say, you know, but
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: you know, there's something I guess for a future conversation.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And the strange to see Cam on the other side
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it'll be different. I'm looking forward to that
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: matchup with I and Josh. I'm sure there'll be some
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: words exchange, you know, on the field, but it's all
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: in it's all in competition. But listen, you know, I
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: appreciate Cam two years, two and a half years here,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: drafted here. It's done a lot here, you know for
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: this organization. So it'll be good to seeing into a
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: team that was on the future shuttle. No, no, hm,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I was going into a game.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: It's availability wise, what's that thank yous to be available?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I believe so, I believe. So we'll see today, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: its own day, and and see how he performs. But
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: he's been he's been good, feeling good. So again, optimistic
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: that he'll go.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: So many guys, you really guys probably not gonna play right,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Probably two right now, Ezra and Mason probably just because
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you know, Mason's still probably a week and Ezra's probably.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: You know, another week too. So when I say Mason
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: could be could be right next week, right, So those
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: two right now? As far as injury goes, you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: you get you know, Dewey back in the mix, obviously,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: special teams guy safety Dubernate comes back, you know this week.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: He's looked good this week, so barring you know again setbacks,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: but that's that should be should be good for us
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: this week. The changes in the receiver are the old
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: injuries in the receiver room.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: How much of a role do you think the name
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: might have there?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I think I'll have a bigger role now that the
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: guys are banged up, right, more than just return you
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: know returner uh out there? So uh again. Devin is
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: a he's a pro, He prepares, he gets himself ready
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: to go, and and I would anticipate and playing a
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: little bit more on offensive.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: You do you list Trevor as questionable pitt into the.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Game, probably if if that's you know, I'll I'll lean
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: on what the what the medical staff says, who's your back.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Up, who's your now who's now your swing guard?
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Well, Luke Fortner and then and then it can play
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: guard center. We've we've cross trained him really through the
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: course of you know, camp and and now and and
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: then uh, if need be, Cole Cole can play play
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: that spot as well.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So you're basically you're down your last two guards.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Yuh, yes, well and then Steven guard you see him
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: sitting there on the practice squad. So but on the
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: fifty three if that you know, yes, what a.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Left shoulder and dream get back quarterback that we probably
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: don't think about.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: From your experience, probably how he carries his double bag
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: into the stadium. I don't know. Look, I've I mean,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I've had a left shoulder, you know back when I played.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: It affects you know, your your if you want to throw,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: pulling your shoulder through you don't want to get hit obviously,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: it's your lead shoulder. You don't want to get hit
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: on it and all that kind of stuff protected fall
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: on it. But throwing wise, it's it's not necessarily gonna
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: affect it too much. It's kind of a pain tolerance feel,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: you know, I love thank you.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: That depends on car.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Or progressing through his injury.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: He is uh and and I really appreciate bt toughness
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: with this kid. You know, when it happened a couple
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: of weeks ago, you know, he didn't he didn't miss
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: a whole lot of practice time and we limited him.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: But tough kid. He fought through it, you know, the
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: last couple of the last couple of weeks. But he's
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: he's he's progressing well.
