• 1:57
  Speaker 1: real shot Alreadys had one of those, So you know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: he's got to learn. But I already did a really
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: good job all camp. He's been a really steady Uh,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: been really consistent for us and very flexible and how
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: he where he plays and all of that. Uh, he
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: he help us out there.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: He's done everything he's had a chance to do.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: He he's he's he's blocked well, He's played with terrific effort.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: He's a smart kid. He's made big plays, he made
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: routine plays. He's just come through whatever we're asking him
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to do. And and uh uh just a thrilled for
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: him that he had another chance in this game and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and Drew gives him a great pass and a great
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: call and the whole thing was just a gorgeous football
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: play and then he figured he figured out how to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: finish it just right.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: So he's been he's been terrific. What say show him?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he he has great hands and he catches
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the heck out of the football all the time.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And so there's nothing new there, but he came through.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: He still got to do it in the game, and
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: uh really glad that he.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Got the opportunities to show it and and and he
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: put it on a filmy.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, no problem that I know of.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: He just from situations I wanted to play Dad's here,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you know, the whole thing. You know, I wanted to play.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: We he's been he's been such a great competitor through.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Uh throughout this camp and I I I didn't think
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: he had had any less chance of winning than anybody
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: else in the game.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And you saw he almost got it done.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: You know, he took us right down there and we
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: were we were in there, you know, playing away for
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: for the win right there. And uh so he he's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: had a really good camp for us now, a terrific.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Camp on on the whole.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Up what I threw lock for you, I I thought
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Drew showed that he can get out there and play
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in all kinds of situations.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: He's comfortable with it, he handles it well.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: He communicates really well with the coaches and his teammates
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a as you know, as we face the challenges that
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: come up, you know, in the games and on the sidelines,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and in the locker room and all that, he's he's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: ready to play football. That the whole idea here was
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to get him ready to play football, uh in this preseason.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And I feel a hundred percent solid that he's ready
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to go. And so now he has to prepare every
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: every day like it's his day and and uh that's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: he's gonna try to take a lesson from Gino about
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: how to do that. And Uh, I'm gonna be on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: him hard about that because he knows exactly what it
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: is to get that done.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Uh, and he needs to keep doing it week after
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: week and and when the time comes, he'll be ready
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to go. Cause you is heah? I I I think
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: they've seen him.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I mean he's he can do everything, can make all
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the throws, he can move, he can get out of
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the pocket when we need him to. Uh, he's handled
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: all the checks and everything that we need to do.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: That they're really there's if he's in the game where
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go win the football game, that's what we
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: should be thinking.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: What did you think about Michael Jackson? Tis? Yeah, I
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I need to see this film. I I don't really
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: have a good call on that. I'm sorry, how it's
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: what would you.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Say, is that's special about this packer speaks to fund
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: psychive see in the past.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: You know, I haven't watched him very much, tell you
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the truth. Uh we.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: We just saw a little bit of film him in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in week's prep. They're really well coached, and they're really
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: sharp at what they do.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: They've got great mix.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And in their in their offense, they've got a challenging
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: scheme defensively.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: But I, I really I haven't looked at that hard.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I can't take what he saw filing.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Under three series and put any pressure for you, beloved, Yeah,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I thought you did right. You know.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: They they moved the ball a little bit.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Uh we we didn't, you feel very well, scrambled to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: make some first downs and and uh they were really
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: resourceful about moving the sticks. Mm.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: So uh I, I I thought it was like he
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: was he's in command. It looks like a good athlete
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: out there.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: He's on a side, is it you think for your
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: guys that Fay on the starters and they started in
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: these stock.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Up forgot just sty start. Yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess knew exactly what was going on. Yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we knew exactly what was going on. Took all the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: challenge and I thought held up really well. Both sides
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of the ball is stelly. Uh he he he got
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a concussion. He he's he's he looks like he was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in a in a boxing match. You got a little
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: sh little something over his side there.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And he's tough as hell, he said, he he'll be fine.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: What was really Phillie punts just gonna go to the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: front Telfust. Yeah yeah, we we we uh.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I I can understand growing up and think about this
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: kid grew up all this time and it was his
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: first chance ever and he made his mind.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: His mind went to wacko and he and he you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: he got the whole whole thing there. So uh kind
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: of cracked me up to the truth.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: But there was a terrible it was a terrible thought
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: at that time, cause we just made a terrific play
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: all but I could see where it came from.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I mean it might have been three or four years
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: old the first time he saw that happen, you know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: So you see okay, or we saw I heard the shoulder.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Did hurt his shoulder? Oh? You show that he special?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was active, he's doing well, real well. We
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: had unfortunately he got banged up.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Should order Thompson wasn't all or where did he? I?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I think he's been really effective I I I in
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: every game he's gone in, He's found ways to make
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: big plays. He he's got good instincts, he's got good
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: feel for the for the on of scrimmage. He seems
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to get out the back door all the time on
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: him and yeah on runs. Yeah, I love the way
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: he hit uh the touchdown run down there you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to knock it in. He's been a good player for us.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Old played a lot to say, where where'd you see
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: all there? Awesome that he got all that play time.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: You know, we weren't sure if he would be able
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to hold up Uh in there and uh going in
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: he did a great job. This kid is a really
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: tough kid. He his mindset, his mentality about it is
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: exactly what you're looking for.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: He easily could have said you know that, you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I think I need to come out now or something.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: He he was battling to stay in. So Uh that's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a really good competitive uh demonstration by him again and tough,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: tough demonstration by him again. You don't often point out.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: The sixty ninety players if you grope this cross stop more,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you wanna keep this one tractmages. I would love to
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: keep this this group again. I would love this group
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: to be together. If we can, We're gonna try to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: do that. And if we can through how it goes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: You know, we'll have some challenges about that.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: But right now there's a bunch of guys who know
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: how they fit on on this team and w W
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you know their role and all that kind of stuff.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I'd like to keep it as solid as we can.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I I it's n probably not possible to get it all,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: but yuh, I want those guys to know that we
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: want them on our in our locker room.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: If your best team in approach an that chugs with
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: your practice score.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Would a lot of spies to do. Yeah, a little bit,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I think a little bit.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: We're more aware, you know, Johnny and I are more
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: aware of you know how many guys were you know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: we're really managing to be on the squad and in
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the locker room with us and and uh, this is
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a really good place. These guys have been part of it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I I wanna keep that going as the best weekend
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: cause we have a chance to have a really big club.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Because you were black to see again anything more with Jackson. Uh,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I I'm sorry about that. I can't really he won't
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: give me a call or something.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Uh, Jackson's feel free. I just if there's any he
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: got any edition a little work about him on Jackson. Yeah. Uh.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: He came back to the building and he was he
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: was playing with the football. He was he was ready
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to he was talking like he's okay and all that.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: His attitude was great and uh so where they might say, oh,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be ten days.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Or something, you know, he he he's not gonna go
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: for that now.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: He wants to get going and and get running and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: all of that. So we'll see how that works out.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Were he's the kind of kid naugh the hold back
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: probably worth than anything. I was really pleased about it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: His h on upon his departure, he was talking the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: same way, whatever this is, I'm gonna be okay to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: worry about it kind of thing.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: And he came back even.
• 8:50

  Speaker 1: right he Yeah. I had a little brads on is
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: there follow that or he heard a show a little bit?

• 9:06
  Speaker 2: to do as.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I I I Joey's shoulder and really the Hall shoulder

• 9:20
  Speaker 1: kind of situation.

• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Jordan uh All tracked be very big play first game.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I'll be shocked if he's not playing. I'll be shocked
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: cause he he just looks great.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He's been running around, he's been practicing normal, He'll get
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: all this week and all next week.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I'll be shocked if he's not ready. But if he isn't,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: we're not gonna play him, you know.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: If he's not ready to go and we're not confident
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: that he's been able to show everything that he can
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: do and he feels.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: That as well, we we're not gonna force that at all.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: But I he just looks so good that I'll be
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: surprised if he's not ready to go. We left him
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: behind Stith. He kept a great weekend of work as
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: well and all of that. So hopefully that will all
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: add up for us. And did you all get hound
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: to feel? Oh no, no, no yet, not yet. We
• 10:03

• 10:11
  Speaker 1: great weekend in to see if he can, uh, if
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: he can show us that I watched him run yesterday
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: yesterday I think it was, and he's flying, so he's going. Uh.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: But there's a lot more to it than that, you know.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: It's the conditioning level that he can maintain and hold up,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: uh you know, with the with the work on the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: practices and all we gotta figure that out, is that
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: on what do uh wolves. It'll be to Tuesday before
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: we get on the field with him, but he'll be working.
• 10:32
