Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, guys, as far as the injury report is concerned,
expect everybody to be ready to go, with the exception
of Darius Williams.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
You know, he'll be doubtful for the game.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
He's done a great job being able to get some
individual the lats, you know, bother him a little bit,
and it's more likely than not that he won't be
able to play. But you do have confidence in the
guys that that we're gonna be able to ask to
step up. If we do do that, you know, we'll
probably flex somebody up from our practice squad. I won't
get into who that would be for us, you know.
And then I think Roger McCurry has done a great job,
(00:30):
you know, quickly acclimating himself and he'll be active for
the game as well. But Aubrey does such a great
job with that room. And Darius is in good spirits.
I think he's played really really good football over the
last couple weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Really our corners as a whole, and.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Well, we'll be excited about being able to welcome him
back out on the grass. But if he's not able
to make it, which is what it's looking like, you know,
a lot of confidence into Kobe Durant to continue to
play the way he has, and Emmanuel Forbes, and then
you know, a couple other guys if they're asked to
step up.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Does the injury look like something that maybe would part.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And Ir say it doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
That's what's good about it, Sarah, is it looks like
something that if he's not able to make it, then
I would expect next week, you know, for him to
be back ready to roll.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
It's kind of a range of notion, you.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Know, It's what it is is it's something kind of
in your lad. It's one of those weird spots where
if you're just sitting here talking to him and a
lot of the movements, you don't necessarily feel it, but
some of the block destruction and some of the weird
points that you can be in, you leave yourself susceptible
to maybe further injuring that a couple more days, you know,
we'll probably allow that to alleviate.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Some of those concerns.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
And so, you know, I defer to to Reggie in
our group, and it's it's just kind of an abnormal
deal that you it want to be more safe than sorry,
but are we are hopeful that that he'll be ready
to go next week if he's not able to make
it to Sunday, which is what it's looking like for us.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Is Roger mccrairie ready to go. What's it been like
working with Yeah, he's been awesome, Maria.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
You know it's cool, you know, getting a chance to
be around him, certain guys tape talks to you.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You always felt like he would be a good fit.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
You know, Aubrey had some familiarity with him from coaching
him in the Senior Bowl when he was coming out
of Auburn. We really liked his inside outside flex. He's
mostly played slot for Tennessee, but he is a stud.
You know, he's got a great demeanor about himself. He's
got really good movement, short space quickness. He's got good
competitive toughness when you watch just the way he plays
in contact situations. And so he's been a quick study.
(02:20):
I think you still want to be smart of putting
guys in successful situations, you know, for what to be
expected on such a short week and how quickly he's
been here.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But we're glad to be able to have.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Him, and you know, looking forward to continuing to build
our relationship with him and his familiarity with both playing
outside or inside.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
For us, how has Pooka looked?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Pokers look good? You know, he's feeling good.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And I think what's important Gary is his style of play.
You want him to feel as good as possible, just
because of all the different things that we ask of
him for his game to fully come to life. He's
done a great job working with our group, with Reggie
and his you know group, to be able to get
himself back feeling good. Had a little bit of soreness,
but you know that's how he's always feeling. But he
looked really good in practice, got two really good work days.
(03:04):
You know he'll get out there today and you know
we'll list him. I don't even know he'll be a
full participant. I don't know if he's limited or not.
I can't keep up with all this stuff. But he'll
be ready to roll.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And he's looked good.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Was how was Rob Will just after get the buy a.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Week to Rusty in It's good. You know, it's great
to be able to have Rob back out there.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Rob's a he's a fighter man and he battles and
he's got great experience, you know, just his wisdom is leadership.
And like I've mentioned, Nate, I feel really good about
what Warren mcclennan has done, you know, just the maturity,
the play and all that. I think that's a tremendous
credit to Warren, but also to Rob. And Rob has
looked good. We're glad to be able to have Rob
back out there, and I think he's feeling good as well.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Well. Have you watched it's over time, including all building,
the situational management position evolved and change around being specialties
analytically focused like maybe in secretary buildings.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Now those guys since stretch really have been on the field.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
With you guys.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And then the football side, you know, I think there's
you know, the margins are so small. And we've talked
about this before, Jordan, I think, and I'll be honest,
there's been some instances where I haven't handled it well.
And you start saying, Okay, where are the instances where
you can improve as a head coach with some of
your decision making or the collaborative decision making ultimately for
our players and for a football team, And you know
you got to be able to lean into that. And
(04:22):
I think, you know we've done that. But I think
really allocating somebody where that's specifically their role and responsibility,
like it is for Smashball Force, who does a great job.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
There was other coaches on the staff that kind of
had dual roles, you know, but Strets was really.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
One of the first people to lean into it. And
then when you look around the league.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Every single week, you're seeing these teams that handle it
really well, that have an intricate understanding of clock management.
You know the importance of saving those timeouts, particularly in
the second half, you know, some of the fourth down
decision making. Those are the things where I think there's
a balance. You know, the clock management stuff is there's
pretty straightforward ways of what's right and wrong, you know,
you know how I feel. I think that the analytics
(05:00):
is really valuable, but it's a tool. You know, there's
twenty two moving parts. But ultimately it's always about how
do we move forward, how do we make sure that
we're self aware enough to be able to learn from
our mistakes, and I think being able to allocate somebody
that can be of assistance and helpful and making sure
that you know, you can, you know, lean on people
and be able to trust them to help make as
good a decisions as possible for our group.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It's been a big deal because teams.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Across the league are now starting to get those guys.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
More and more integrated on the field, especially in practice
settings as a natural part of the process.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You guys started doing that a couple of years ago
as well.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Have you noticed it becomes a more natural part of
the process to have that type of presence in not
just silent.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
In another building.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I think what's good is I think those people having
an intricate knowledge of how to be able to say,
all right, I understand, like what's good about both the
guys that we've had with Stretch and with Smashes. You know,
they have an ownership of the analytical approach but also
a tactical schematic approach of how we're putting it all
together that can help with, you know, facilitating sound decision
(06:04):
making throughout the course of a game. So the answer
is yes, and I just think you're seeing, you know,
the margins are so small the efficiency at which you
can gather information, but there still is an in game
decision making a critical thinking element and aspect of it
that you know, these guys are very beneficial for and
so if I make those bad decisions, you can blame
(06:25):
Smash not me, then then I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But it's been big.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's been a space that I think you've seen a
lot of teams lean into and you know, every single Friday,
and I know you know this, you know we're going through,
you know, situational masters, where hey, what are the examples
around the league where we can learn from if we
would maybe do it differently, or whereas great illustrations of
guys handling it well.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And usually a year in and year out, when.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You're showing the teams that consistently show up of doing
it right, those are the teams that give themselves a
chance to play late into January and you know, potentially
endo February.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So it's super important, Sean Sean.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Three years ago, you guys claim Baker Mayfield off wayver
very forty eight hours held in the game. What do
you remember about that stretch and what you've learned about
him during.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
What makes you ask about that? You're doing a story
on that a couple weeks.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, oh so you're getting head Huh, you're really I
don't even know when we play them?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well, you know what I remember is.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
How intentional he was and how smart he was to
be able to quickly learn some of those different things.
And you know, this guy is a mentally tough dude.
You know, loves competing. He's been through a lot of
different experiences. And I think the coolest thing about him,
whether you go back to Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Cleveland, Carolina,
Tampa here, he doesn't change supremely secure in himself. I'm
(07:42):
really happy for all the success that he's had. But
I'd be lying to you if I said I was surprised.
He's he's an igniter, and you could just feel that
there was something I was just super impressed, But I
don't want to say I was surprised. And you know,
that was a unique thing and those were challenging times,
and you know, he did an excellent job, you know,
in a short amount of time. I think it's a
real credit to how smart he is to be able
(08:04):
to have the capacity to do some of the stuff
that he was able to do on such short time.
And I give Liam and Zach Robinson a ton of
credit for the time that they really lean into him
as well.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And you know, it was a fun month.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Seemed like we got a lot of experiences in in
a short amount of time, and you know, always wish
him well and appreciate the time because I think it
was at a time that we both reflect on, you know,
and and learned a lot and it was, you know,
real growth for us both.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
He didn't start that game he played in the first series.
At what point that was not always the plan?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
And no, you know what, and I think, you know,
John had done a great job in the previous week,
but he had also hurt his neck, you know, and
so he's going to try to push through it. But
there was still some limitations in what he was able
to do, you know. And and and John handled it
like a total stud but it was more about, you know,
just you could kind of get a feel and it
certainly was probably a little bit early, in all fairness
(08:50):
to John, but there was just some limitations in terms of,
you know what my instincts said about what we might
might need to do to be able to push the
ball down the field. And John could do that, he
just wasn't able to do that with just some of
the limitations with the neck injury that he sustained in
the previous week.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
When did you realize at what point did you realize
Bigger was capable of?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You know, it was all such a blur, Sarah, But
I mean his first pass, you know, we were in
kind of like a three level you know throw with
a slot combination, and just the feel that he had
to put it where he did on Van Jefferson. You know,
just you know, he's just kind of out there playing.
And I think sometimes when you're just totally and completely present,
immersed in the moment, there's a beautiful thing that can
come of that, and uh, you know, you're not necessarily
(09:30):
overthinking things, and I think, you know, the power of
the mind is real. And he did a great job
that night.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Sean DeVante. Dvante said yesterday after his performance in London,
he said, to you, with the bye week coming up,
I wish we could just keep it. I could keep going.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Do you recall that conversation.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, yeah, No, I was just saying, you know, we
were talking. He's like, man, I don't want to have
a week off. I said, hey, just enjoy it. We
got no control over that. Enjoy your beautiful family, and uh,
you know.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
He was able to do that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
But I think sometimes you know, when you feel like
you got some good momentum going, but expect them to
be able to continue that momentum.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
He's had a great week, you know, he and Matthew.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's it's really cool just to watch that organically unfold
where there's a comfort in terms of their dialogue, their discussion.
You're talking about two great players continuously getting on the
same page.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I think what was really cool.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
About that week of you know, what you guys all
saw was the three touchdowns, but what we all saw
was the week of preparation, the intentionality. We always talk
about practice, preparation and performance equal in game reality, and
that was truly on display really from our group as
a whole, but especially for some of the cool things
that you witnessed because the other two completions that he had,
it's a great bench cut, you know that he and
(10:41):
Matthew connected on when the weather was you know, he
couldn't really appreciate it from the TV, but it started
to rain again. You're in the high fringe on a
second and ten, you know, and then another play action
that he hit, you know on kind of like a
deep curl route on the inside edge of the numbers
that was you know, a big catch, and he drew
a bunch of pis too.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
So he's he's been awesome, and I do recall that converse.
But here we are. This is all we can control
and expect him to be able to have a good week.
He's had a great week so far, and it's a
great challenge this week, coach.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
If the Defense was a Halloween movie, which one would
it be?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Oh man, you know, I think if they were a character,
it would be Michael Myers, you know, or Freddy Krueger
because they would out of me if I had to
play against them.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Do you like Sean dolac following costume?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I loved it. Now, Dolac, he looks more like Shouler
than me.
Okay, guys, as far as the injury report is concerned,
expect everybody to be ready to go, with the exception
of Darius Williams.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
You know, he'll be doubtful for the game.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
He's done a great job being able to get some
individual the lats, you know, bother him a little bit,
and it's more likely than not that he won't be
able to play. But you do have confidence in the
guys that that we're gonna be able to ask to
step up. If we do do that, you know, we'll
probably flex somebody up from our practice squad. I won't
get into who that would be for us, you know.
And then I think Roger McCurry has done a great job,
(00:30):
you know, quickly acclimating himself and he'll be active for
the game as well. But Aubrey does such a great
job with that room. And Darius is in good spirits.
I think he's played really really good football over the
last couple weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Really our corners as a whole, and.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Well, we'll be excited about being able to welcome him
back out on the grass. But if he's not able
to make it, which is what it's looking like, you know,
a lot of confidence into Kobe Durant to continue to
play the way he has, and Emmanuel Forbes, and then
you know, a couple other guys if they're asked to
step up.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Does the injury look like something that maybe would part.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And Ir say it doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
That's what's good about it, Sarah, is it looks like
something that if he's not able to make it, then
I would expect next week, you know, for him to
be back ready to roll.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
It's kind of a range of notion, you.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Know, It's what it is is it's something kind of

some of the block destruction and some of the weird

to maybe further injuring that a couple more days, you know,
we'll probably allow that to alleviate.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Some of those concerns.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
And so, you know, I defer to to Reggie in
our group, and it's it's just kind of an abnormal
deal that you it want to be more safe than sorry,
but are we are hopeful that that he'll be ready
to go next week if he's not able to make
it to Sunday, which is what it's looking like for us.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Is Roger mccrairie ready to go. What's it been like
working with Yeah, he's been awesome, Maria.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
You know it's cool, you know, getting a chance to

(02:20):
I think you still want to be smart of putting
guys in successful situations, you know, for what to be
expected on such a short week and how quickly he's
been here.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But we're glad to be able to have.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Him, and you know, looking forward to continuing to build
our relationship with him and his familiarity with both playing
outside or inside.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
For us, how has Pooka looked?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Pokers look good? You know, he's feeling good.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And I think what's important Gary is his style of play.
You want him to feel as good as possible, just

I can't keep up with all this stuff. But he'll
be ready to roll.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And he's looked good.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Was how was Rob Will just after get the buy a.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Week to Rusty in It's good. You know, it's great
to be able to have Rob back out there.
Speaker 1 (03:21):

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Have you noticed it becomes a more natural part of

Speaker 2 (05:41):
In another building.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I think what's good is I think those people having
an intricate knowledge of how to be able to say,
all right, I understand, like what's good about both the
guys that we've had with Stretch and with Smashes. You know,

Speaker 2 (06:27):
But it's been big.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's been a space that I think you've seen a

You're showing the teams that consistently show up of doing

chance to play late into January and you know, potentially
endo February.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So it's super important, Sean Sean.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Three years ago, you guys claim Baker Mayfield off wayver
very forty eight hours held in the game. What do
you remember about that stretch and what you've learned about
him during.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
What makes you ask about that? You're doing a story

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, oh so you're getting head Huh, you're really I
don't even know when we play them?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well, you know what I remember is.

Tampa here, he doesn't change supremely secure in himself. I'm
(07:42):
really happy for all the success that he's had. But
I'd be lying to you if I said I was surprised.
He's he's an igniter, and you could just feel that
there was something I was just super impressed, But I
don't want to say I was surprised. And you know,
that was a unique thing and those were challenging times,
and you know, he did an excellent job, you know,
in a short amount of time. I think it's a
real credit to how smart he is to be able
(08:04):
to have the capacity to do some of the stuff
that he was able to do on such short time.
And I give Liam and Zach Robinson a ton of
credit for the time that they really lean into him
as well.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And you know, it was a fun month.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Seemed like we got a lot of experiences in in
a short amount of time, and you know, always wish
him well and appreciate the time because I think it
was at a time that we both reflect on, you know,
and and learned a lot and it was, you know,
real growth for us both.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
He didn't start that game he played in the first series.
At what point that was not always the plan?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
And no, you know what, and I think, you know,
John had done a great job in the previous week,
but he had also hurt his neck, you know, and
so he's going to try to push through it. But
there was still some limitations in what he was able
to do, you know. And and and John handled it
like a total stud but it was more about, you know,
just you could kind of get a feel and it
certainly was probably a little bit early, in all fairness
(08:50):
to John, but there was just some limitations in terms of,
you know what my instincts said about what we might
might need to do to be able to push the
ball down the field. And John could do that, he
just wasn't able to do that with just some of
the limitations with the neck injury that he sustained in
the previous week.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
When did you realize at what point did you realize
Bigger was capable of?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You know, it was all such a blur, Sarah, But
I mean his first pass, you know, we were in
kind of like a three level you know throw with
a slot combination, and just the feel that he had
to put it where he did on Van Jefferson. You know,
just you know, he's just kind of out there playing.
And I think sometimes when you're just totally and completely present,
immersed in the moment, there's a beautiful thing that can
come of that, and uh, you know, you're not necessarily
(09:30):
overthinking things, and I think, you know, the power of
the mind is real. And he did a great job
that night.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Sean DeVante. Dvante said yesterday after his performance in London,
he said, to you, with the bye week coming up,
I wish we could just keep it. I could keep going.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Do you recall that conversation.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, yeah, No, I was just saying, you know, we
were talking. He's like, man, I don't want to have
a week off. I said, hey, just enjoy it. We
got no control over that. Enjoy your beautiful family, and uh,
you know.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
He was able to do that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
But I think sometimes you know, when you feel like
you got some good momentum going, but expect them to
be able to continue that momentum.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
He's had a great week, you know, he and Matthew.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's it's really cool just to watch that organically unfold
where there's a comfort in terms of their dialogue, their discussion.
You're talking about two great players continuously getting on the
same page.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I think what was really cool.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
About that week of you know, what you guys all
saw was the three touchdowns, but what we all saw
was the week of preparation, the intentionality. We always talk
about practice, preparation and performance equal in game reality, and
that was truly on display really from our group as
a whole, but especially for some of the cool things
that you witnessed because the other two completions that he had,
it's a great bench cut, you know that he and
(10:41):
Matthew connected on when the weather was you know, he
couldn't really appreciate it from the TV, but it started
to rain again. You're in the high fringe on a
second and ten, you know, and then another play action
that he hit, you know on kind of like a
deep curl route on the inside edge of the numbers
that was you know, a big catch, and he drew
a bunch of pis too.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
So he's he's been awesome, and I do recall that converse.
But here we are. This is all we can control
and expect him to be able to have a good week.
He's had a great week so far, and it's a
great challenge this week, coach.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
If the Defense was a Halloween movie, which one would
it be?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Oh man, you know, I think if they were a character,
it would be Michael Myers, you know, or Freddy Krueger
because they would out of me if I had to
play against them.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Do you like Sean dolac following costume?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I loved it. Now, Dolac, he looks more like Shouler
than me.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
