  Speaker 1: shows with a Ryan Day press conference, I will give
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you kind of a synopsis of the question and maybe

  Speaker 2: it is, the Josh Padilla injury updates such as it is.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: So this is all going to be. You're going to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: hear the direct question. You're going to hear the direct
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: answer from Ryan Day. I don't want any interpretation. I'm
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: just gonna let you hear everything he had to say.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: And there were points when he said more and there's
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: points when he said less, and you're probably gonna find
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: yourself at times going I wish he said more, and
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: only give you what he said. So here you go
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: everything Brian Day said about Carnal Tate's injury, Jeremiah Smith's injury,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: how they handle injuries, all of that all in one shot.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Here, all right, Jeremiah Carnell feeling And do you expect
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: that they'll play this week?
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah? You know, our policy is that we just we
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: don't discuss specifics on injuries. And then once you start
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: going down a little bit here, a little bit there,
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: you know, you know, you can create a problem, and
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: so for a number of reasons, we don't discuss those things.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: You know, we put out the report the day of
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: the game. But I can tell you that you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: they're in great spirits. You know, the medical staff is
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: working hard. We'll you know, take a day to day
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: and see how they come in each day. But they're
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: working hard to get back on the field. And you know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: just so you understand, like I, we check in every day,
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: we take the advice of the medical staff and use
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: their feedback and we go from there. So we'll continue
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: to do that when.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: You are dealing with a Saturday night. Julian was a
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: little bit limpy beat look like at times. So I
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: don't know, I think I hit the weird or whatever.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: How much does that potentially impact what he looked like
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: on the field in the second half, Like some of
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: the accuracy in the sideline stuff. I mean, we obviously
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: quarterbacks throw the ball differently than they used to help
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: use your playing foot and your back foot all the
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: same that we used to see when you were playing.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: But how much impact does that have in a game
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: for you?
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I guess it can just depend on on what's going on,
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: you know, on each individual play, you know, So I
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: think it's hard to say exactly how much anything like
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: that had an effect on him. But yeah, I mean,
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: you know, when you look at certain plays, there's a
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: lot that goes into it, and so I can't specifically say,
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: you know what percentage or anything like that. You know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: when you start to look at you know, we had
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: some maybe some guys in the game that hadn't had
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: as many reps. You know, it's not as much chemistry there.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: They'll work, you know, hard to continue to build on that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of things that come into play. So
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: but at the end of the day, we've got to
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: do our job.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Ryan, you mentioned Jeremiah had a nagging thing and he
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: took that nasty hit against Illinois where you're gonna get
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: like flipped over. Is there anything lingering from that particular
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: play that's been bothering, not that I know of. Did
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: he do anything in that game on Saturday to further
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: complicated or injured?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: What?
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: What made him initially a game time decision?
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Not that I know of.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Did with Carnal at the Purdue game, you had mentioned
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: that you thought maybe he's probably good at a play it
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: if if you needed to.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But has there been a setback or anything since then
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that has changed the can of.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: The Kima leaves Again, I don't want to get into
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: everything because once I started answering one question, then it
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: leads to something else. So we just I don't want
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: to comment any of that stuff.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Not sure what Josh, but he has hell status is
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: this week. But given what you said about game and
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: what he showed you, is it possible you would place
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: three guards there or try to rotate three guys in
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: there if they're all three capable play or do you
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: really want to.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Keep that in two?
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I don't know what that looks like, right, We probably
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: want to keep it to two. But I guess if
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: this synap count got really high. We could do that,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: but we probably want to keep it to two guys.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: Ryan, without delving into specifics, just sort of for the record,
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: can you walk us through injury protocols? But how that
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: plays out either in a game or during.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: The week, quote, in terms of a game.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Or during the week, Like does the athlete have the
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: final say? I know, if you work with the trainer
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: in a game.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: And then during the week, oh, in terms of like
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: as we get closer to the game, if someone's available
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: or not. Yeah, so the medical staff each day gives
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: a report on how someone's doing, whether they're in practice full,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: go limited or out, and then you know, kind of
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: gives an update on how things are going. And then
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: as we get closer to the game, it's available, unavailable
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: or questionable, you know, game time decision and so you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: we just go off of that, and certainly the communication
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: between you know, the players and the medical staff is
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: important in terms of making those decisions.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: The player didn't want to, he spelled, he couldn't play,
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: he has the final say.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Of course, of course, yeah, yeah, everyone's feedback is taken
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: a consideration. And that's where again when you talk about
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: trust within an organization that all those things come into play,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: and it's a group effort, but certainly we always take
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: into consideration, you know, the student athletes and how they're
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: feeling and all those things.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we're in a new era. You've talked about it
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: more games. Do you ever foresee the day where load
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: management really becomes a thing where I just don't play
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: again in a game, or I know your rep on
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: different fewer reps, But how do you see this playing out?
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: I think a part of it is like the season,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: and then a part of it would be how you
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: practice during the week, and then you know where somebody
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: is within their season. And so we get a lot
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: of good information from sports science compared to previous years
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: and try to do the best we can. But we
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: also have to win, you know, every game, and so
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: that's the balance. But I feel like, you know, here,
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: when you look at last year, when you look at
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: how we've handled things, I think we're in a pretty
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: good place. But we're always chasing it, trying to do
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: it's best for our guys. When you have a guy
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: who maybe could play, but you think, okay, maybe this
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: isn't the best for the long term goals like We've
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: talked about their competitors.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: They want to be on the field.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: How does that side of the conversation go when maybe
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: you guys are saying this isn't probably the best idea
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: and the player wants to be out there.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Just take us through that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, every situation is different, but at the end of
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: the day, it's our job to make sure that, you know,
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: we're one giving great information and then two, you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: looking out for what's best for our guys. And that's really,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: you know, the best I can say it. But there's
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: always a lot of variables and a lot that goes
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: into every situation, and so we try to do the
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: best we can again to communicate and do what's best
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: to up for our guys. Brian, you're talking about what
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: the medical staff does during the week with the you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: guys are limited or whatever.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: At this point of the year. I'm sure there's a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: bunch of guys who have physical issues. It's a final sport.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: How much do you guys need practice during the week
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: in order to play on Saturday? Can you read pretty
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: limited during the week, especially if you're a veteran, and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: be okay on Saturday to play?
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Yep? Yeah, I think it depends on what you know
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: soreness guys have or what injuries maybe they are, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: what position. I think all those things come into consideration.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Like you said, like you know on a day like
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: today that we're gonna have good on good, We're going
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: to have scout periods, we're gonna have indie periods, and
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: so based on what they're dealing with, like we'll adapt
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: every We've done that for years. We adapt that practice
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: based on how they're doing. Like full go is full go,
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: then you have limited and then you have you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: just indie, and so based on what they're dealing with.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: You know, let's just say it's a shoulder. You know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: they're not going to be involved in special teams drills
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: or snagging guys to the ground or you know, whatever
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: the drills might be. So you know, the medical staff
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: does a great job of making sure they present that
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: to us at our nine o'clock meetings every morning so
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: that we can plan ahead for practice.
