  Speaker 4: Game two of the preseason?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a there's a real challenge at hand. The
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: challenge is to come back and play really hard again,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: you know, and play really solid, consistent, hard football, you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: and and just use preseason to get to get ready
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: for the regular And.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And uh I was really pleased with with game one.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: You know, I just across the board and I was
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: really happy that we were able to do that here,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and you know, and hang in the game until we
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: got right and then and then finished the game and
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: do some really good things in the fourth quarter. It
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: was all the young guys playing, but they played like
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: we want to play, and they played like.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: We hope to play. And and uh so we'll come.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Back and you know, that's that game's already long gone
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: and the opener is dead, and you know, we don't
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: have to dwell on that one anymore.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: We got to come back, get ready to play again.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And and Dallas. I'm sure he has got a really good club.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I haven't looked at him much yet, but I'm sure
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: they're they're loaded, and uh, it'll be a great matchup
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: for us.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Lock After you the game, he talked about, you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: wanting to be back here, a good partisan special but
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: also he has that desire to play. Have you seen
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: him handle this year compared to last where he's competing
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: for the job last year.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Now, during during the off season, I thought he was,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: you know, he was working through it. You know, it
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: was a different mentality for him. You know, for sure,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: when you're coming in, you're battling for the one spot,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: and now he sees, you know, have the great year
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and he's part of helping him do all of that. Uh,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: there's a different reality to it, you know. And I
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: thought that that right near the end of the off season,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I thought he started.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: To get going.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: You know, I think he was, you know, I think
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: naturally distracted a little bit, you know, by the whole
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: trying to put it in perspective and all He's.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Come back really clear, really on it.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: He knew he was going to play a bunch of
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: pre season and he needed to get ready to play,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and so his his mind has been in a great
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: place and and uh, he's doing terrific now that those
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: two guys are just you know, connected and helping each
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: other every step of the way and really counted on.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Each other and and to help and and.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: So the relationship and the progress he's making, I think
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: is all in the ups.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It's all going good.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: We didn't see Radigan or Devin Bush.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Out there there.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, Radigan's got a h what's one of the sis.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: He's got an elbow that that's bothered him that he
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: needs to give a couple of days.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Escag.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: His knee is a is a legit sprain and it's
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: gonna take a little bit for him. That's it could
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: be a few weeks, you know. And Devin Bush, Yeah,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Devin Bush had his Nie swollop a little bit after
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: the game, something he's never had before. So we just
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: got to take care of it and go slow with it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: He played a really good football game, by the way,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: one of the real standout guys played really good on
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: special teams, to which he has not doesn't have any experience,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: and you know, he hasn't done that before. So his
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: first time out was really impressive.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: How did you think?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I thought Kobe played.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Really well, Kobe, And remember the mock game, Kobe played
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: really well. Also, he's really getting comfortable playing back on
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the back end. He's been a really physical noticeably one
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: of the best hitters out there, and so I'm really
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: pleased to see that, you know, coming from the corner
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: spot and you know, in the nickel spot. You know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: that's a that's a good statement he's made. And so
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: he's really serious about, you know, getting getting everything in order.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: He said, he said, you guys playing safety season I started.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Did he have any I guess, you know, how did?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: He Just trying to put it together. He's trying to
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: figure it out.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: You know, he's been a corner in his brain for
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: a long time and and so he's still going to
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: play corner. We're going to come back to that. We're
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: trying to just make sure that we really focus on
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: the safety spot if that's the new spot. But as
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: we go forward, he's we know that he can play
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: corner for us so and the nickel spot in the
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: dime spot. So he's got everything that is, you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: under his belt. So he's a really valuable player.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, everything else.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you forinion.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm,
