 All right far away Yeah, I mean it's like with our guys, we're not gonna make any snap judgments right now and we're in position where we can Can try to increase his workload every day? And we hadn't been able to practice for multiple reasons, but now he's back and he's fired up ready to go and Like guys that want to go he wants to do more and we got to pull him back a little bit But it'll be a you know several week evaluation and all those guys We got a lot of outside linebackers on the roster right now a good opportunities in these preseason games And then so hopefully we can make the best objective decision for the team You know you take a case-by-case, but but preferably we're not gonna ask I got to go from zero to a hundred right away. It's just not fair to the player. It's not fair to the team Obviously, there are different points in terms of their conditioning. I'm not talking about just cardiovascular. It's just you got to get through these reps you know, naturally some of these football movements and Happy what we saw from both those guys today and we'll look at the film, but we'll keep pushing them increase in our workload I Yeah couple reasons we just continue to make sure we were good to go in the preseason Add in competition. Obviously, I'd worked with him last year in Tennessee saw some things that that I liked and just wanted to see where he was at he worked out for us and then Just when things happen guys a little nicked up and so he's gonna have an opportunity This weekend to at least carry the football Right Don't see no Again hard to give you a prediction of timetable Nothing serious You know you may see Smith back sooner than you'll see Sheffield back as best I can give you You pay attention Now I just mold same thing just different roles. You just want to mix and match You know when depending on how many DB's you get up you want to give guys opportunities if they got to go out there and play Certain roles to get out of a game No different than you know, you get down DB's can you finish the game in base and what calls can you make? I mean all those things you try to take an account Especially really getting ready for the regular season and in the preseason That was No But there's a certain cadence and then obviously I do talk fast times I know that you know sometimes Ryan would be like hey slow down Matt Matt's a man. I you know he likes the calls and it's just the way we got to work through it But thought it was pretty good for Saturday You know, I don't really worry about him with that with that aspect, but it is it is he's right there is a new voids in your ear and Every play caller. I'm sure he could tell you better than me that they're all different Timing and then a lot of it is make sure you enunciate. So especially if you're gonna have wordy play calls Yeah, so, you know, that's why these again, I'll be selfish here as a coach That's why these preseason games are invaluable in the joint practices because you get to go on the tempo picks up It's just one more step to crank up to see if they're you know, they're ready to go you know, we brought those guys in for a reason but you You got to get a fair evaluation and and with the biggest thing what I've learned is he just it's hard You know day to day we're all we're constantly, you know, you're looking at the film You're trying not to make try to keep perspective Because I've seen it where guys have struggled in camp And you may not rely on them early in the year But then some point you need them and and you see as they play more their confidence grows or maybe it's even year To and then there's other guys we put out there early as a rookie They come out fast and then they just kind of hit a wall mid-season. So you just kind of take a case-by-case But feel good, I'm really excited to see these guys Friday night Oh Well every player that that I've worked with it's been different how they learn, you know, there's a lot that we're doing a lot at Kyle And you know, it's I told him it's a long journey and you try to remind these guys But there's little nuances and there's things that he's gonna have to learn his own tell him obviously Justin Peele can tell him pretty good and there's you got veterans in the room And there's certain things we'll ask him to do that least miss never done so You just gotta let sometimes the act of doing it slows down, you know You show them things in the classroom you may have film of clips of other guys and here's how they've done it some guys need to feel it, but it's Like I said, there's a lot of different ways to teach That was just an example right there. We were working it just kind of going through the nuances there Following up on you saying you don't want to take guys zero to 100 Would you expect Caleb to be ready to play in this first preseason? Probably not probably not we'll make that termination Thursday, but I don't Where our plan is right now with him It's no strategic advantage. I don't think I don't think Braves is gonna be listening to this right now I'm trying to get a strategic advantage for Friday night if he is Sorry to waste your time braves, but But no, I don't that's not the plan right now Pretty good. Like I said the other night It's good to see Willie Beavers go out there thought he did a nice job the other night Still happy with Jalen, you know sprigs is another guy. We continue to We'll continue to have competition out there and we got to find I mean it's ultimately you got to find that guys 153, but it's really the eight that you got to put up on game day right now Well like all these guys I mean there's tons of stuff I need to prove one every day I mean you hope you never stop throwing try to improve Obviously, you know, he's a rookie. There's things you can feel the first time We got to see where that point is where you know the menacing returns I haven't seen that yet With Richie but another guy, you know, he's gonna get the entire preseason But good work for him going to Tennessee. It'd be good work for him down in Miami There's prices and throughout the preseason Well, you know, there's a lot of things that we asked him to do that's very different So Again, I think having guys like Eric Harris and Duran have been really valuable to Richie Because they've been through a lot and they play, you know, pretty similar roles DB's had a good day because I understand people, you know, flying around like they have been Is that just them getting more comfortable to working together? Is that them getting more familiar with what they're expected from the offense scene every day? Well, it's both. I mean the thing we want to practice. That's why you got to take things in the context There's things we're asking the quarterbacks to do a push like certain drills and parameters. There's things we're working on Again, we got to push the limits to see what we can do So you got to evaluate every time every one of them different like right Protection ball gets battered line ball gets batted Pops up, you know, it's You know at the quarterback position, you know what you signed up for but they're not all the same Right, and then you got to the ones you concern with yourself with the ones that are just poor decision making And you but you don't want the guys to become hesitant and I say that because I did think that defense today They did a nice job. They're breaking it. They're getting more confidence Um And that's what you want to see. You just want to see that growth, but you want to see that back and forth I don't want to see just a bunch of Easy check downs, especially when you get into seven on seven. I mean they know they're not getting hit out here in practice Anyways, certainly in seven on seven. You don't feel anybody at your feet. So Uh, but very pleased very pleased with the back and forth You know, you always worry with after a day off Stay in scrimmage These are the laws in camp. We got to we got to keep pushing Part of maybe cross training pj green also getting Oh, I mean you're right. I mean those those are the you know, whether intended or unintended consequences You know, yeah, somebody else has got to play more in a different role And it's just that's a reality in the nfl, you know, you you go through a game plan And you know, you can't you don't have as many guys up as you do in the preseason It's not like college football when you get a depth everywhere Especially if you've recruited, you know a place like Alabama or Georgia So you do have to get creative And it'll be the same thing for for Avery, you know, or whoever Wins the punt return job to get up on game day. You gotta be able to help us out somewhere else. I mean I was joked about earlier post draft versatility, but it does it does matter How much is that? Right, I mean you you want somebody to win it outright and then you got to say, okay, what ounce can you do? So Like I said, I feel good, you know, you hope to get enough reps and you can get real evaluation in the games when they are tackling live To see because even the practice You know, we got to feel it obviously minimum job description catch the catch the punt But to be able to feel those lanes so you can put their foot on the ground Who's got the vision and you hope you have enough pump returns to evaluate fairly What's that? I just think it helps It's the same thing with a quarterback play Because it's just different by there now. I can't say I can do it from experience That they never asked me to go back and play quarterback or Return, I wish, you know, wish I could have that skill position, but that wasn't a gift enough to neck. I guess or whatever But in all in all seriousness, you've got to feel that stuff because there's got to be a consequences, right? I mean you can be aggressive and practice, you know, nobody's gonna light you up and Ball comes at you you may put your foot in the ground and you do that in the game. I mean you may get There's consequences the same with a quarterback you hold the ball forever May launch it and you know People that's a great throw. It's like, yeah, we would have been hit two seconds ago. So That's again, there's nothing that can replace that Well, you know, you should have a lot of confidence coming in from last season Going out, you know, that's an interesting position because a lot of those guys usually don't stick on the first team There's like a pot of guys in there. It's an interesting Even like I got like Brett Kernan. We had in Tennessee, you know, he'd been cut or waved and I could think of guys over the years. I mean that I have it. So I think confidence does help obviously from year to year no year is the same, but I do feel good about where he's at confidence wise Um, just keep hammering make sure he keeps lifting his arms because right now I don't think he's got the biggest arms of any kicker in the NFC south I think I got from carolina does so that's a challenge. I've got for young way. We'll see if you get there Anything else? Thank you Hey, you guys see him. Look up joey sly
