  Speaker 1: second punt return where he had a lot of room,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of good learning ops and and learning moments
• 1:26

• 1:32
  Speaker 1: today and so many of them, and so a.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Lot of great learning ops and and stuff to clean up.

  Speaker 1: Drop.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, touchdown ball, Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's right. It's
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: what it's all about.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It's like Carter through a great ball, you know, tight window,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: great throw. Thought he came down with it, ended up
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: losing it late, and then had a big time double
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: move at the end to make a play to put
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: us in score and position to win the game. So,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you know, proud of him, proud of the response from
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: those guys. Joey Aguilar's first NFL completion is on a
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: double move.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Grant wasn't really letting him settle in there. It was good.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Sometimes those are better where you don't have to think
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: as much. You can just kind of let it rip.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Do you think of Grant and what do you think
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of yourself in the roles that you guys were in today?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I thought the communication was solid. Thought Granted a nice
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: job kind of settling at halftime.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I've been in.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Those moments where you're not a lot's working and you're
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: frustrated and you don't really have a ton to go do,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and it was really just like, let's just go downhill
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and just run and run it and get downhill. And
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I thought he did a nice job of mixing it
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: up when he needed to, and he was calm, cool, collected.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I was. I was happy for.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Him in Trouble, a duel with Flash twice in the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: first half, special teams and a stag.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some good things.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did some nice things on us. The teams
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: had the sack, play with good energy, played physical.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I was happy for you here. That was more so
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the plan.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: We just wanted to get them a little bit of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: work early. It was a longer drive. Just kind of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: wanted to get those guys out of there, get them
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: some work, get them some uh some reps, and then
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: get them out.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't get to see like a ton individually.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I think he there was a couple of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: things he had to settle in and slow down a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: But you know, I'll have to go watch State.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I think you've talked about it a bit with the injuries,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: but I mean, does it does it build more concern
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: for you when you see just operationally Chuman goes down. Yeah,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it's kind of unfortunately we got that bug at the moment.
• 3:50

• 3:53
  Speaker 1: We've got, uh, you know, a two weeks of good
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: work that we need to take a step in the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in the right direction both physically conditioning. We have to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: practice like we're gonna go pads a few times this week.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: We got the joint, We got the two joints against Tampa.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So this is the time in training camp that these
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: things sometimes pile up. We're just unfortunately it's out of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: position in which it's hard to function when you have
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: depth issues and injury.
