00:00 We're just curious if there's anybody game one,
00:03 is there anybody who might be in danger of not playing?
00:04 From Tuesday?
00:06 Or just--
00:06 No, no.
00:08 I think everyone that would have been on the side
00:10 would be good to go for--
00:13 actually, there might be one that I'm waiting for some
00:16 information back on.
00:18 But at that time, nothing that I would be too concerned about.
00:23 It was a good week, a good week of practice.
00:25 I think the part I like about the practices this week
00:28 is that it built up, and Thursday was our best day.
00:32 And so heat is all relative, right?
00:37 It was the hottest week we've had
00:39 that I remember practicing in probably since I've been here.
00:42 So I was really feeling good about how
00:45 the guys, as the week went on, continued to get better.
00:48 So we challenged them.
00:49 We were full pads on Tuesday, full pads Thursday,
00:53 couple snaps of live each day, and then today,
00:56 75-play scrimmage, so 15 less than we did the first scrimmage.
01:01 But that was the plan.
01:02 Quick follow-up.
01:03 I know you've talked about Ty Williams,
01:05 but I didn't see Diesel Morton out there on Tuesdays anymore.
01:08 He's indefinitely suspended, too.
01:12 Did you get done today what you wanted to?
01:14 Did you see what you wanted to see?
01:16 Yeah.
01:17 We had one long drive right towards the end
01:21 that threw my numbers off.
01:23 And so we didn't probably get quite as many red zone snaps,
01:26 but we've had plenty of work up to this point,
01:30 especially this last week.
01:31 So I wasn't too worried about it.
01:34 We got some snaps in still on the red zone,
01:36 both in the normal drives and just lining the ball up
01:39 and playing.
01:39 So we really wanted to stick to the 75 plays.
01:43 And we still have a day of full pads or two
01:47 that we can get some extra work in if we really
01:49 feel it's necessary.
01:51 Are these serious issues with these two freshmen?
01:53 Are they suspended?
01:55 I mean, I think if it's suspended,
01:56 it's serious enough, right?
01:58 But I think when it comes down to it,
02:00 there's accountability things that you just
02:02 got to make sure you uphold with the team.
02:05 And there's expectations.
02:07 There's policies that are things that we just feel
02:12 like you should adhere to, important things
02:14 that we want our team operating in a first-class manner.
02:17 And so I didn't feel like some of those things
02:20 were being handled appropriately.
02:21 So one of the best ways to learn is to take football away,
02:27 right, because these guys love football.
02:29 Are they in danger of losing?
02:31 I don't want to get into that, no.
