  Speaker 1: over the hump. So uh we declared it already just
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: talking about it, and and you know, he feels like
• 0:59

  Speaker 1: Teammates are you know, are given a hard time about
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: handling it really well and making sure he does and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: all that. So we're all supporting him. And it's all
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: those kinds of little things, uh, for a person, you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: it depends on who the guy is and all. But

• 1:31
  Speaker 1: any sort of stuff back during the week. No, No,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we we had taken a couple of weeks off, you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and and so we thought that would we'll see how
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that helped him and if it would. And so it
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: helped him enough to get on the practice field and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: he could get around and all that. But it's just
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: not up to the level that that he can play
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: at and and he knows that and we know that,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and we talked it through and that's where we why
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we settle on this, you know, putting them enlisting him
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: as out. I don't know that, but most I can

• 2:27

• 2:59
  Speaker 1: through it all and we're we're really hoping that we
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: can play a heck of a football game? How is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: ken Walker? Don Uh? He worked today too, you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: so he made it through, uh I ah, all of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the guys that were limited in some fashion. We're gonna
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: make sure that we get him all the way to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the game time and we'll figure that out with then
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: one more on that front than MOREO had words. How
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: was his week? He's he couldn't do anything. He's quiet,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: he's out. Oh, get thousand results. The the stat saw
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the stat about the two two back two backup quarterbacks
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: in the final minute and the only other side of
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that was a night. I don't know if he was
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: familiar with that stat at all. Do you know what
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: game that was? Yeah? Yeah, so do I yeah, I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I you know, after playing against Dan Marino with in
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: holding him in the utmost of a respect but getting
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: our you know, I was in that division for five
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: years and and uh really six years at one time
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: another when he was there, but and just seeing him
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: just kill us. There was a game when he came out.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I think he threw a couple of picks early in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the game and they went to to Hewart and and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I thought, oh man, you know what a big day
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: this is. You know they've replaced him because that was
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a big deal at the time, and uh freaking damon.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Heward killed us the rest of the game and didn't
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: help us at a hall. I don't know what happened.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We missed that opportunity, but anyway, I don't want to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: point out he's the common factor in this. Yeah, yeah,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: that's right. Is there a common factor? No, I don't
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: know about that any more. Clarity on d Eskridge's status.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: What's with him? Yeah, he's gonna be out, Yeah, he'll
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: be out for the game. Do you think he's gonna
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: play again this year? I don't know that. We're waiting
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to see. We're gonna try buy as much time as
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: we can. We're running out of time here because it's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: getting late. But it's gonna be able to get back
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: for you next week. Possibly, it's impossible. We were hoping
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: this week, couldn't quite get it done, so we're hoping
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that next week you can turn the corner and get
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: some work on Wednesday and start coming back. I've seen
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a lucas the last few weeks. You might always a lot.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: He's definitely gonna go up against him a lot. That's right.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: He's got a u a great challenge. It's an incredible
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: football player and that he's going against y you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: he he's back and ready to go and and feeling
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: good about himself and his return. It's it was a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: long time out, you know, and and uh so it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it's taken all of the weeks to to get him
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: back going again. But it's it's it's a really challenging matchup.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: But yet we we we think that you know, Abe
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: can do his thing and and uh I can get
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it done obviously, so we have a chance to win
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a football game. Anything else, okay,
