 We tell them that they're out, I mean, they're out. I mean, obviously we have a plan for guys, but sometimes things change. How many guys take potentially don't travel in the pre-season, especially in pre-season game number one, and with COVID, does that impact maybe who you take on a trip and maybe who you don't? We're gonna try to take the guys that are gonna play in the game like we do in a regular season, so I don't think COVID has anything to do with that. We'll all wear a mask per the FAA like we all do when we go on an airplane. So if they go on the trip, we're probably expecting them to play and if they don't, and we'll, in the regular season, rule them out like Robbie does when they don't get on the airplane. Thanks. What goes into the preparation for the situation? Well, I mean, there's a lot of meetings and I know that as a lot has always said of that, but we could go back and look at a lot of situations that were covered on a day like today or another day during the season. That we've used to help us win. So if we do one thing out there today through the course of the year that helps us win, it'll be worthwhile. We're a few days here before the game, trying to get some guys ready, but also trying to cover a lot of situations that have come up since we've been here, have come up a lot longer ago in the National Football League. One of the- Is that for you specifically given in-game decisions that you have? Yeah, I mean, I think that we have to go through and look at what the situation is, what would lead up to it, and some of these, you're only going to get one crack at it a year, you know, and you have to nail it. You've got to be ready for it. You have to hope that the players are seeing it the same way that you are or the same way that we're all teaching it and everybody's locked in. And again, that's why you practice and it's hard to do some of these at not a full pace because at the game you could only have seven seconds or six seconds like we did against Jacksonville to throw it, get down, call time out, you know, be able to kick a field goal or in some of the two minute drives that we've stopped people on, guys knowing the situations, getting us in the right coverage, our ability to go like we did last year in Houston and, you know, not clock it, you know, helped us win that football game. I think one of the big points of emphasis for the official issue- As well as it should be. Yeah, could you tell us why you see the need for that and what should be the trickle down of it? Well, I mean, I think taunting is always something that's been in the rulebook. And, you know, there's one thing about being excited and having fun and playing physical and fast and winning, but I don't think that those things should be directed at an opponent, you know, and I think we've all seen that. I mean, I think the coaches, you know, want it called. We don't want to see guys, you know, pointing the finger at somebody's face, pointing the ball at somebody's face, standing over top of somebody. You know, the whole idea is that it's directed at an opponent, you know. So there'll be plenty of physical plays, plenty of violent plays in production and just go, you know, celebrate with a teammate. Because, you know, again, that's why we do this. You know, it's a vicious, violent, but amazing team sport. And these guys work hard to prepare all week to go out to make plays and hopefully that we can start to celebrate with our teammates and not direct that at an opponent. And if you do get a taunting, again, that's something that would be dumb to hurt the football team with a 15-yard penalty, you know, such as if you're going into score and you taunt the opponent, you know, they could enforce that on the extra point. Could be bad weather, could be mud, snow, you could be ice, could be kicking an extra point from the 30-yard line, you know, to tie or win a game. And, you know, or it's, you know, it's spotted off on the kickoff and now you're kicking off, you know, from the 20-yard line. So again, we don't want to do, we don't want to play that way. We want to play fast and have fun and be excitable. Let's celebrate with our teammates. Have you seen something about it? It's been an example of a guy who's maybe gotten extra work, extra reps and practice and taken full advantage of. When you get in there for whatever reason, whether the guy in front of you is not out there or you've earned the right, which I would say is both cases for Marcus, you know, there's some guys there at the receiver that aren't there every day. And he's earned the right to be out there and he's been one durable, he's been out there every day, he's been available and he's gotten better. And whatever mistakes he makes, he quickly corrects and usually rarely makes the second mistake twice. So I'd say that's a good model, you know, that we all should look at for training camp. Have you seen something about Dylan at Guard that you particularly like or is it more kind of a, you know, personnel, where you're strong, where it's needed right now situation? I just was going off TD's scout or whatever we call that, depth chart. I think that there's some versatility that he has shown. And I think as you guys have watched practice, he has been at multiple places. I think that that's good for a rookie to be able to handle all that inside, outside, right, left. Now maybe just start to clean up the technique and things maybe slow down a little bit for him and start to see some improvement. But I have started to see some improvement and, you know, he would be one of those guys that this game is going to be, you know, real important for him to validate some of that improvement or development. Do you see him more now as, you know, as a guard any more than type or it's just you're still moving around? We're just trying to see where he fits best and how he can help us. And as we work through camp, we talked about the foundation, talked about developing and building a team. And as an individual trying to define a role and then obviously, you know, preparing to win. And so he's kind of in that, finding a role for himself. For some of these guys. They're letting you talk now, Kayla. I know. Hallelujah. For some of these guys that are trying to get a roster spot or some of these younger guys, how much does this first game really start to separate them? Or how much do they need to put that into their heads that it's got to be from game one? I think hopefully it's from practice one. And then it continues to build. And if you have a bad day, you know, you come back and, you know, improve on it and let it go. Because there's going to be a lot of plays in the game that go kind of how we want them. And there's going to be some obviously bad plays. See how they respond. See how they play when they get tired. See how they do when they get hit. Full speed or tackle or have to tackle somebody. How they have to go from offense to special teams or special teams to defense. And you know, in the motions and how they control their emotions of being real excited and, you know, got to save a little bit for the game. How hard they play. What the level of their competitiveness is. And how do they get out there when you're in live action? Not having that last year. Like genuinely, do you appreciate like getting to see that development in these games or seeing these guys, you know, big seed expectations? Genuinely, I love watching them play. I love watching these young guys that have gotten better. You know, Weaver, I would love to watch Weaver. You know, I mean, he's had a good couple of days. He's been active. I don't know. We'll see. But a week ago, I don't know if I was really excited to watch and play, but I am now. You know, I would love to see Monty Rice go out there and run around and just play football, play linebacker, have fun, lead a defense, you know, and then coach them up after the game, correct the mistakes. You know, and there's other guys. You had a lot of red zone one on ones early, obviously, but since then in full field, you haven't really done many. And you haven't I know your offensive lines depleted. You haven't done an offensive line defensive line outside linebackers. Is that a wear and tear injury protection thing generally that you've not done traditional training? Well, we're past. I mean, you mean like we're past Russian. You know, I mean, I don't know if we've done it the last two days, but we've done it. We've done it every time we've had seven on seven. Those guys have been Russian. We've done the red zone. I replaced with some of that two on two stuff that I felt like, you know, you get the one on one, but so many routes down there are the combos or the, you know, the rubs. And so I felt like that could be a good period for us. Just looking at our installation and how things were going in. And we were working from the two yard line on a five. And so sometimes you get those two on two coverages where, you know, maybe during the season, you're trying to show them a card and it's another or it's a practice squad player that's looking at the card. And maybe the speed isn't great. And I thought, well, maybe instead of doing it during the season, when we take it off the field, like everybody's got the same plans. Someone go that way down there and they're picking. So just thought, let's do some of the two on two. So try to be conscious of that. The linebackers are going against the backs and let's pick up. And but with that being said, the days that we don't do some of those things, like in the call it, for example, is trying to get them to that period, right? Is trying to get them so that they got a little bit of gas to go out there and try to function and operate as opposed to, you know, having them be maybe so exhausted by the time we get to the middle or end the practice and start calling it or just trying to make it like a scrimmage where you'd have a little bit of warm up and, you know, then put the ball down and listen to whatever the situation was. Well, you get some look, you know, I mean, I don't know how I can't tell you how long he'll play, but, you know, he'll start the game at running back and he'll have some carries. And hopefully, you know, they can blitz them and he can go in there and pick them up and get some work. And then, you know, maybe he gets a return. I'm not sure. But then, you know, he'll come out at some point. Good. Good. Because he's been out there. You know, I mean, he's been available. He's been out there every day. And when you do that, you get better and you build more confidence and your body gets ready for an NFL season. As of now, I don't anticipate Ryan playing. As far as you're starting to settle in more after getting a little bit of a late start and a half-tuff of a decision, maybe it's when to know when, as far as putting some of these guys out there in the games. I mean, Caleb's not ready to play in the game. Thanks, guys. Roger, you've been in a training camp where the offensive line combination is so different from day to day. Is it this one has been, it seems like? Yeah. Yeah. It has. But, you know, that's par for the course. When you're playing on an offensive line, you know, we're in every single play and the trench is fighting with people. So, you know, you have a little couple of hiccups. Progressed positives and negatives. Clearly still trying to work his way to try to be a starter. Well, you know, never want to focus on the negatives. Always want to focus on the positives and the best thing I could say about him is through his mistakes, he always continues to work hard. Comes the next day. Is very diligent, seen and not heard, which I think is great from your rookie. And I'm starting to see, you know, just quality improvement, you know, day after day. We're making sure that he knows he's still a rookie, but we're also making sure we're giving him that support as well. You've done as much maybe one-on-one pass rush stuff as typical or in 2021? Is that just scaled back? This year, I've kind of scaled back just a little bit. I mean, you know, though everything has been going really well for me, still want to just kind of focus on keeping this body fresh, you know, and going against Jeff is like going in two or three one-on-ones in one go because it's so physical. So, you know, I definitely think I'm getting enough out of it, but I really love the quality team reps and that's where you can focus on your individual drills with that. You might scale down. Yeah, I think the guys have done more. I think we've done more this year, which is good. I mean, we're constantly trying to improve. We have definitely improved in the sacks category. We want to make sure that we continue to keep Ryan upright as much as humanly possible. So it's a focus of ours. I think you enjoy it, Roger. I guess when you don't play, if you play sparingly, just being on the sideline, watching some of the young guys in practice, how much fun is that during the preseason? You know, I love it. You get a chance to sit there and feel the energy because, you know, when the game, you're so focused on just, you know, what you have to do for yourself and for your teammates. But being able to see guys go out there and compete just shows you the love of football all over again. I tell guys all the time, you know, even when I'm not playing or practicing, I'm still a fan of the game. So it makes no difference when I'm out there in preseason watching my guys. Taylor's been back the last couple of days in team drills besides you. So he's starting to look like the pre-injury Taylor to you? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And we both know that, you know, it's a process and we're going to have to be careful with that as we start going through the rest of this preseason. But what I do like is that it seems like we haven't missed a beat. I think that we still are hitting these deliming at the same time in our combinations that we're doing a good job feeding off of each other with backside or frontside combos in the run game. And then when it comes to the pass game, we already know each other's thinking. So as soon as I hear his voice, I know what's coming. I know what to do. And he knows that if he hears anything from me, he can play off with me as well. So I'm excited for this third year to work with him. And with Taylor, what energy, like what is absent when he's not there versus when he is there? Like what does he bring to the hole? You know, I love it because, you know, we both love to bring energy into the huddle. And, you know, him being there with me, you know, having two and three and four guys doing that in the huddle, we can definitely bring people along. You know, he's always been a great condition player. So when it comes down to running downfield, you know, seeing two or three of us doing it, instead of one or two of us doing it, you know, you start seeing and start to pull the offense along. And it's great to have all of our guys in there. Of course, you know, we wish that we had some of our other guys in there as well. But that's how you adapt with the season. He said that he has a new found love for football. I've been missing so much time. Is that something you kind of have gotten a feel for? Is it conversations when you need all your own feel? Oh, yeah. You know, because I deal with my share of injuries myself. And I tell you what, man, it's hard not being in the game with your boys when it's time to play. And if you're away from it for a long time, which he was, it's kind of tough. You know, they always say you're going to miss it when it's gone and that gives you a little taste of what happens if you weren't playing. So I definitely believe him and it shows out in practice. Now we'll see what happens when we can get him out there the entire time and see the way that he works. But I expect no difference out of him. About going up against Jeff during these one-on-ones, what's it been like with that unit as a whole with T.R. Tartt in year two and Autry being added to the mix? It's been iron sharpers iron. You know, like, we're really feeding off each other well right now. We're really getting hands in on some of these guys. We're doing a great job competing. And I'm literally watching guys get better, bigger, stronger, faster. Guys are starting to gain some experience through constantly working with the ones. And that's what we're going to need. We're going to need guys that are able to make plays and we need to show that we can compete during the preseason. You mentioned that Darrington is going to start on Friday. And how beneficial has this time been for him in training camp healthy to really get those reps and get comfortable with this offense? What have you seen out of him? I think it's just a huge opportunity for him. He's been definitely taking full advantage. You know, you watch him on some of our film and he's always finishing. He's always looking to make quick decisions. He's not hesitant when he runs the ball. And I'm really excited to see what he can do. But I think that the coach have made it pretty clear, like, hey, this opportunity for you to grow and we want to see what you can do. And I really hope that he takes advantage of it. That's good. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Thank you guys. Have a good one.
