  Speaker 1: Doug, can you walk us through the third and seventeen
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: touchdown from Mac to Parker Washington and just what kind
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: of training camp Parker Washington has had for you all. Yeah,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: you know, just anticipated them playing a little bit of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you know, shell defense right there, and they showed it,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of an all out, you know, pressure
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: type look, and they obviously bailed at the snap. So
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you know, we we we had the right call on
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and just Parker down the middle, so he got in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: behind the second level guys pretty quickly, and Mac did
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a great job, great protection. Mac made a heck with
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: throw there and just a big play and got us,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of got us going.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Doug thirteen touches for Tank tonight, Beck, he had a
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: couple of really good days as well against Tampa. Your
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: thoughts on how his week went.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Tank is really improving. You know, obviously
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: still some work to do, but he did a nice
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: job again. He ran tough, took care of the football.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: You know, obviously we'll take a look at the tape
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and watch it, but I really think that he's he's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: done some really good things, you know, for a for
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a young player, and and gonna gonna help us, you know, offensively,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and and just just continue to continue to grow as
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a running back.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Doug, could you just talk about the performance that Mac
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: had tonight. How do you think he did and then
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: coming in again after CJ went down.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Well, we knew, you know, we knew two quarterbacks that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: once Mack was done, he'd have to stay ready in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the second half. That's that's always a given. But I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: thought overall, Mac played played played a solid football game.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: You know he was he was obviously into it. He
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: saw his intensity out there, made some great throws, just
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: led the team like like expected. And then for him
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to come back off the bench, you know there in
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the in the uh, you know, late in the game,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to to throw that that touchdown pass to Brevin just
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: he loves playing, He loves playing the game, and he uh,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: he did some great things tonight and helped us win
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: his game.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Coach, seemed like a lot of good ball control from
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: both sides of your lines of scrimmage tonight. Keep getting
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: them off the field on third down and also running
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the ball consistently. I know you wanted to prove play
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: from your offensive line. Do you like what you saw
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: with there? And I'm assuming.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the you know, offensive line did a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: nice job there, you know, backs, tight ends and even receivers,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you know, on some of the perimeter stuff being able
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to block. And that's what it takes in the run game.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It's just just not you know, your five oz alignment.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It takes everybody. So I thought they did, you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: did some really really nice things. And then defensively, you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: just keeping guys fresh. You see all the different rotations
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and the different substitutions that that they do, and it
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: just keeps guys fresh for four quarters. And you know,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: we came up big at the end and because guys
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: were a little more I don't want to say completely fresh,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: but they were a little more you know, I had
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a little more juice there at the end.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Doug CJ groin injury, Do you have a severity on that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Or I don't yet. I haven't talked to forget, but
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that is growing. Okay. Was that situation where if that
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: were regular season game you might have been able to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: stay Indy you think, Well, just depends on what would
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: have happened to Trevor for him to go in the game.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: You know, got what about braswell? I mean, yeah, true.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: What about braswell?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And I guess Jarian Jones.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Jorian is fine.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: He just got a finger in the eye. Bras is
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit sore on the one tack. We made
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: a heck of a play coming and making that tackle.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Just got a little sore there. I think it's a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: side kind of as oblique area. And the only other
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: one that really got I think had not not serious.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: But Stephen Jones, you saw he don't know if he
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: was his left left shoulder arm something, So we'll check
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: him out. But have more for you probably tomorrow, you know, Monday, Doug.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Overall the week, how do you feel like it came
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: out of it?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: What did you get out of it? The three days
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: against the Bucks?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You know, you get you get a chance to get
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: your starter. There's a lot of reps in a controlled
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: environment against another football team, and I thought both teams
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: really did a you know, showed great sportsmanship during the week.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Coach Bowles does a great job obviously, you know, with
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: his team and our guys. I was proud of the way,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you know, our guys handled themselves. But to get our starters,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the number of reps they did for two days in
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a controlled environment really is good work, you know, because
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: in a game like tonight they would only get maybe
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a quarter again or a quarter and a half. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you don't get the scenarios or the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: situations you want. So doing a joint practice like that,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you can do that and really get some good work.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Hey, Doug, five sacks and Mac scrambled I think maybe
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: six times.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Was that a little.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Product of O line shuffling or are you concerned there
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: in terms of some of the pressure in the backups?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, listen, they did a great job. Some
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: of their pressure packages were were timely. We got edged
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a little bit on a couple of those sacks, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the secondary, their secondary covered our guys. So I mean,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit of everything. But you know, we
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: got to take a look at the film and then obviously,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: uh you know, make some corrections and and and and uh,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you know, improve a little bit there.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Anybody else?
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Sorry, getting off.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Dog. I know you, I know you addressed bigs be
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: a little bit earlier, but could you could you uh
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: he touched the ball on nine the first sixteen first
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: sixteen plays, was that the intent early on that you
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: were gonna you know, you were determined to get him
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: the ball early and often.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that and the just the success I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: think early in the run game we had, I mean,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to get the offensive line to to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: kind of you know, you're playing some of your your
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: role guys in the offensive line and and some of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: your backups, and you get them settled into the football game.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And I think we opened the game with like maybe
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: eleven play drive and then had an eighteen play drive
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: in there or something like that. And if you're going
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to do that, your run game is going to be successful.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And getting those guys, you know, and into some of
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the scheme that that that Tampa had, you know, we
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: wanted to continue to to run the football a little
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: bit and and not always drop back and throw it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you,
