• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of progress does he make? He's making progress. He's not

• 1:29
  Speaker 1: not ready. He's gonna have to have something done words. Yes, Yeah,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: he's having a procedure that I've done that we've done
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: with a couple of other guys that's worked out really well.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: It takes a little bit of time. We gotta see
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: how it goes with him. These guy's different, but we're
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: gonna try to fix him up. I feel good about
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the Uh, Jake and Stone are gonna play for us,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and and the other guys that are ready to go
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: as well. Tackle Jake played against these guys last time

  Speaker 1: were impressed with the new guys that we brought in
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and and uh, we'll see how that works out, but
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they'll give us a good boost. But I'm glad these
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: guys are gonna answer the call. They know what they're
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: doing as they've had the procedure done yet. No, I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: don't think that's I don't think it happened yet. How
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: what do you anticipate his timeline? Kind of? I don't know.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Jason Peters, would he be ready to play Sunday or no,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: he won't be. He won't be able to get there.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It's too soon, too much to ask. He had a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: fantastic first few days with us, but uh, we can't
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: get that done yet. Peter game like this, it's important
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: for everybody to block. But is there extra emphasis on
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the running backs in the past formations when you're passing that. Absolutely, Yeah,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it's gonna call on everybody. Everybody's got to add to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the protection and and they have a an integral part
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: tight ends do as well. So it's a big part
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: of mixing the plan to make sure we can stay
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: ahead of them. And uh, I let them get revved
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: up with Charles. Do you think there's a chance you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: need to come back next week? There's a chance. Why
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: did uh? How did Jamal do this week? Jamal had
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a great week. I sent him his highlights from yesterday's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: practice this morning, just so that he could have his
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: own reel of his stuff, and we'll get another little
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: highlight reel from today. And he's hauling butt all over
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the field and he's having fun and unencumbered, bursting, sprinting,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: changing direction, you know, wrapping guys up on this when
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: he's hitting guys, the whole thing he's doing at all.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And so this was a huge week for him. Now
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we governed his numbers, and next week will be I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: think we'll let him go, you know, full go. I'll
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: get all the reps in next week and in preparation
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for you know, see how that where we are at
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the end of that week. I appreciate that. I appreciate
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the recognition of that one. Well, I would say he's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: he's a little bit more encumbered, double down, you know. Yeah,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the Mike's got a social and we're working through it
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and he's trying to do everything. He played with it
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: last week when we wanted to see how and he
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: wanted to see how it would be, you know, playing
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: ball after being out for a couple of weeks, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: we're seriously looking after it again this week. So We're
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: gonna take care of him. What did you see out
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: of Weatherspit this week? In practice? He was on fire.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: He had a blast. He's been waiting so so long
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to get to this point. He was active, aggressive in
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: his coverage, fits and all that stuff. He did everything
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: he had. He had a really good week in that regard.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: He had a lot of chances to do stuff coaches
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: scripted well so to get him ready to go. And
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: so it's gonna be really fun to get him out there.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: He's a really good ball player the same folder and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a great VI and L league. I don't know that
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: we're still we're still gathering some information on it. What
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: happened to Devin Brush. He banged his shoulder in the game.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna take all the time to see if
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: if he's coming back to us. He's ready to go
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: if you know, if we need him, but we'd like
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to take care of him. We get We're gonna wait.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: We'll wait till we get all the way of the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: game day. The other thing was he just practicing weakly
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: with he gets some not just nursed out this week too. Oh,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: he's practicing all over the place. Sorry, he's unincumber and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: week do you anticipate him being able to play next week? Well,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I feel a little incomer just having to ask you
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that question. Uh, well I will wait and see. We
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: just really we'll just take it. We'll get him back
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and we get Wednesday, you know where he gets a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: full day Wednesday, and just take him one day at
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a time. See see where we are. What is what
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a school showed you about his ability to handle expectations,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: whether it's being the first round pick, or being a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: guy that can be a spark plug in the defense
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: or or something like that. Well, we really don't have
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: enough information yet to know until he plays and games
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and responds to what's going on in the games and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: all that. But I can tell you that he's a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: highly competitive player, and he goes forth every day that
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: he gets a chance, and he's trying to make a play,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: trying to you know, be on the spot. He's not.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: He's not ducking and dodging any work at all. He's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: focused and into it. This is an exciting guy to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: bring bring back to the playfield because he's going to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: have an effect, you know, on people around him and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: all that. I need to see what happens when he plays.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But I'm in anticipation from what we've seen he's gonna
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: be fine. He's gonna be battling and all of that.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And you need to see how a response to when
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: things don't go right. I know how I respond when
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: things go right. He'll be freaking jacked up. So it'll
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: be fun to see him go after Aaron Glenn, did
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you expected some day coach against Well? I did. I
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: did present it to the team that you know that
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that did happen years ago, and I said, can you
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: imagine that Devin Witherspoon some day will be calling defenses
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: in the NFL known you know, back in the day.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: But I mean, he's had a great career. It's great
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to see that he's come this far. How's boy doing?
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Is that's the same issue from last weekend? Yeah, yeah,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And when we're we're gonna go to game day and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: give him all the rest we can possibly get me
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: practiced yesterday and ran around pretty well and all that,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: but we just want to make sure we you know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: we'd give him every chance to, you know, to get
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: clear from the little bit swallowing that he had and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: see if he can do it. We'll find out. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: what were you able to learn about rig One and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Neil and the clan and purpose They they made a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: good showing both guys did. The fact that ray Kuan
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: was in the same system, you know he was really
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: was actually made it quickly. Uh So that was that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: helped a lot. It was a little bit more that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: we're getting having to come from uh in changes in
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: system for a young guy in for mccleannon. But he
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: he looked really good. He he was showing on the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: highlights a couple of times this week his movement and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: getting out on the edge and doing some really cool
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: things blocking outside. So I'm really fired up that we
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: were able to find two guys like that that could
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: fit in and give us a chance and you can
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: see where they could they could have a chance to play.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: And not to mention Jason, Jason was phenomenal for his
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: first weekend. So it's amazing that we were able to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: do something that quick and and have and feel like
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: this about him. So we'll see how it works out
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: open the scout team stuff. Yeah, we was that his
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: first time been in his career. L probably yeah, I
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: would think so. Yeah, he did, he didn't care. He
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: just wanted to go out there and play football. And and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he he took it really seriously and try to get
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: everything he could out of every every rep, anything else.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank
