Coach Bowles Conference Call: 9/2

and see how it goes with treatment. So you wouldn't place him on the injured Deserve before the fifty three man cut down? No, m m m. Where does things stand out? Tied in terms of roster? Uh, streaming roster where we're meeting on it at five. We'll go over to coaches that kept looking at an old film and we're meeting on that and we'll be we're making him at five and we'll make a lot of decisions and

have them all come out tomorrow. M. Todd. You just to be clear, you want you guys won't be cutting anyone today. Probably not. We can. We still gotta meet on it, but I would be a lot of guys tomorrow there maybe some of the day. We haven't met on it yet. What do you have on terms of Breno? Is there any hope that he might be able to return to practice before Cincinnattie? I have anything on terms. It's just about how he's feeling day by day with

the back. You never know. Obviously, if he's not practicing this week by a certain day, they probably be a good chance he won't fay. Is there anything Is there any chance that Brento could go on the the end season? Published? Uh, there's a chance. Second, all the doctors on the trainers, we're gonna see how he's feeling that I went to protective time for him to be back or when the drop did the last time for him to be back, as opposed of when he won't be back, and we'll

weigh that option this week. H Have you guys decided how many quarterbacks you're going to keep on the fifty three? No, we're gonna meet at five. Like I said, we haven't not met today. We made at five o'clock and we'll probably be here all night. Do you find how harder do you find harder this year making these cuts at opposed to last year, Todd, you know now that you know you have a when you're established with some of

these players, Yeah, I think it's harder every year. The more you get to know him and the better your team becomes, the hard of the custcome because you know you're becoming some good football players won't wear the other So it's never easy to cut anybody, But you know it's part of the process and part of the business. You cause you separate emotions from this weekend or do you kind of allow yourself to steel emotions when you

are cutting your guy? Just separated when you're making the decisions and you understand why you're making the decisions, but it still doesn't make it any less emotional. Uh, some guys you get real close to. But you know, at the same time, it is a business and you're trying to play the best player, and it's it's not a hard decision to put the best product out on the field, but there's a hard decision to tell somebody that this could be the last time in uniform, at least here anyway,

we'll possied any feeling. You have the most difficult decisions that Notice that's still a couple I men Obviously we got some decistem make. There's what I receiver, it is offensive line, there's defensive backs there, there's a bunch of positions that's still tight end position. There's still a bunch of positions up in the air that we kind of gotta meet on and go over. So there's gonna be

some tough cuts. Did anybody jump up last night, uh, to really enhance their There are chances of making the team, maybe an under the radar guy. It looks like everything stays that it's cool last night. I know, obviously you're meeting late a little later on. Wouldn't it be fair to say that gino is is solidified as your two? Yeah, I'd been fair to saying, Todd, do you, um, how would you set returner in point returning right now? The

decision you have that? Well, again, we got some tough decisions to make their Obviously, the hope two guys did a great job, and we still got a guy. We haven't really looked at it as much. I can play in chandlers, so we think, well we put back they have a chance to be pretty good blocking the right way as long as they cast the ball ficture and I think they have a chance, but it'll be a tough decision there too. The two Cockols time after watching

the film, What did you see from quality? Nigel? Good question. I still don't have an answer for you, and I start good in both of them, and I play and photo them. I saw some things that they can work on, so you know, also them during the week and we'll probably go right up in their game. They just Rental can't play, Todd, will u if Jordan's healthy for week one, will he and Lorenzo be your two starting outside linebackers. I don't know. Jordan's got to be healthy to take

some reps. I gotta see where he is. So we haven't made that decision either. We like to give him some reps in there, but he hadn't practiced in the while. Lorenzo on one side, though, Yeah, that's possible. Yeah, Todd, how much trade talk is going on at this particular juncture, which yet probably a lot people are calling doing that, do deal with him for you're calling do another deal with him? Any of that might work out or is just chatter at this point? Just chatter at this point?

Everybody good? Todd. I had one on on Christian from last night. Dan. Going forward, he's obviously gonna have a long time to think about and dissect that performance. What do you how do you hope? He responds. I think it's a matter of responding. It's as a matter of getting better, and all the more you play, obviously more comfortable you get. You're going and playing an NFL game with a bunch of young guys that's never really played. They're gonna be some miscus and mistake and it's nothing

to get down. That's something I learned from and person of a bright guy, and he's got a great football IQ and I'm sorry to learn from it. Everyone good. Just just to go back to Bright. You said you guys would evaluate every week see how he responds to treatment. Does that mean he is definitely on the fifty three man roster? My men, we're valerated him because he's hurt. We'll discussed the sas a three man roster at five o'clock
