  Speaker 1: Ale and the things that he's working on. He's a
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: good run defender. He's really tough and runs really well.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: So he's he's doing everything.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well out right now.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: And it's just like I was hoping, you know, I
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: might have mentioned to you guys a couple of times
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: that you know that we have a chance for a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: number of our players that played last year in the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: first year to really grow this time around and as
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: they come back as sophomores, and and uh, it's just
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it's going to help us think of the tackles and
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know Kenny and all the guys that
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: that helped us last year and just seeing the game
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: much differently, and that could be a big boost for us.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: He is, Yeah, he's okay. He just is a little
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: bit of tight and and something, and we just want.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: To make sure to take care of him. He's doing great.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: He's had a great camp so far, and he's had
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: as good a camp as we've seen in the last
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know, five or six years or something like that.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: He's been in great shape and all that, and we
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: just want to keep him on that trajectory.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: He's doing great. God, we didn't see him play I guess. Yeah,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: you know, he didn't go to night.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: He did practice yesterday and did fine. He was okay,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: he did all of the pregame stuff and and he'll
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: come back with the day off and he'll be back
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: full go. How do you think the situation, knowing that
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you won't have him at the start of season, how
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: does that affect your depth and how do you feel
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: about some of those some of the depth guys you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: had to cancel? Well, it, you know, we have to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: be real about it that he's not going to be available.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: So we have to, you know, let the other guys
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: have their chances and show where they fit in and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: then we'll deal with with escuage when he gets back,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you know. And and but in the meantime, it's opportunity
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: for the guys for sure. Yeah, because he he's been
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: very effective and he would be one of the guys
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you really think you have a great chance to make
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the club, uh, you know, going into the first game.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So there is opportunities for the guys and they're battling
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: for it, which you said, Tyler, I think it's I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: think he's a hammy or something.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: He's okay, he's fine.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: We wanted to give him a break.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I really don't know what he wants. He's okay, we're
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: working on that one to figure that one out.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It's got a little something going on, is growing and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: hip kind of stuff, and so that's kind of that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: sports earning area kind of stuff that we're looking at
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: when and make sure that we diagnosed well and take
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: care of you. Right now, we don't have we don't
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: have a decisive plan whether you know he needs any
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: work er.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Right now, we're just gonna rest him and see what
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: if he can bounce back. You talked about what my
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: fad you'll want you to have you seen that same
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Jumpan tackles. Oh. Absolutely.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you talk Dave and you talked to Charles,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: they're going to tell you they just their outlook on
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the game is like entirely different than it was a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: year ago. They were just surviving last year, you know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and then just scraping to get by, and they didn't
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: know it at the time. They thought they had all
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the answers, you know, But now that they can see
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: how clear it has become to them. You know, the game,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the calls, identification of the looks, the speed of the game.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, everything you can, you can point to that
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: they feel the real advantage now where they didn't feel
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that before.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So that's what we had hoped for and we were fortunate.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Sometimes as you gain that that you know that boost
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: there if guys played well their first time out and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: they can draw from that experience that our guys are
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: doing that, and so it's gonna help us in a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: number of ways.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: J Bobos, you have a pretty good day. He did.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been he's been very competitive throughout camp and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: he had a big day today.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I think he had the game winner as.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: We looked at right at the end, they had a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: couple of third.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Down wins and and did a nice job.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: You like the mad game format where you get to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: overturn calls and spot the ball.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: There was a little bit of that. The commissioner stepped
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: in a couple of times. You keep, oh, that's a blast.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: It's you can't have more fun coaching than than what
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that is right there. You know, you're just calling everything,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and so it was it was really fun again, it
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: was really it was really good working with with a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: great crew. Carl Traffers got a great crew, you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: so we worked with those guys in the days they
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: were with us, and they were really flexible and they
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: helped us, you know, other than the fact they called
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of penalties, but they but they helped us,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you know, keep a real good float of the game
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and take advantage of you know, those shifts and changes
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and stuff.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I had a little trouble with it with eighty
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: nine over there on.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: The side, So I told him I was gonna throw
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the red flag if he made a call.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: He made a call, but I could backed out.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Does the Draymond Rushes from Insider have re mind you
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: of any other pass Rushes you've had. Yeah, Yeah, he's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: got a little a little the creativeness is like Michael
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Bennett in in some ways, you know, And that's if
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we've kind of looked at him like that. He's he
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: penetrates and he takes advantage of when guys, you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: give him an edge. He's he's a dynamic player and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: we're learning him and and fired up about what he's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: continued to show. He's had a really good last four
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: or five days in a row. I mean every day
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: he's done something. And again tonight you drafted two or
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: running backs, you get three herd nine days.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Is there anything else you can do? I mean, it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it's I'm just hammering those guys against the wall. And yeah,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I mean all three guys have had an issue already,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you know, the top three guys along with the DJ
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: DJ's ankles sword today from me got tripped yesterday in
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: practice and so we won't.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Real life on him. It's it's why you need a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: lot of guys. How many I mean do you need?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It does?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: How many? How many? Have a few in the roster,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: So how do you avoid you.
• 5:18

  Speaker 1: it's we're trying to stay ahead of it, you know.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And and we have a bunch of guys on the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: roster right now.

  Speaker 2: a burden yet, you know, I mean sharp and he's
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: coming back. He's fine.

  Speaker 1: So that's we're excited to see that happen. Kenny's Kenny's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: not gonna be out for a long time. He's gonna
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: be okay.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: In general, what do you think of Gino in the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: first team in office? I thought I thought they were sharp.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: The first drive was really good. Gino was in total command.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: The guys protected him pretty well.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: He moved well.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Also, Gino's on I don't know what was it was
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: he ten for fifteen or something like that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he had he had a nice night.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: You just get out in front of a crowd like that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: For the players, that's really good.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really good for me. They felt they felt being
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: in the stadium, you know. And uh, I saw Jackson
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: come walking off after he had been out and seen
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the field for the first time, and he was his
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: his eyes were huge, and he said, I had no
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: idea this.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Place looked like this, you know.

  Speaker 1: and he had fun with it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: He did it looked like Ardi Burns had a few
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: break ups play. He was playing well last year or
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: two before you got hurt in camp? What what is
