SPEAKER_3 (1:26)

You players are off all week now? Correct?

Brian Daboll (1:29)

Yeah, in here for treatment if they need it. Similar schedule last year.

SPEAKER_5 (1:34)

Brian, what considerations will you give over the next week or 10 days to who's your next game starting quarterback?

Brian Daboll (1:41)

Yeah, we're just getting started here. We're just finishing up. Still got a little bit to go finishing up with the coaches on this game. And, you know, work as a coaching staff and discuss a lot of things, look at a lot of things and, you know, try to fix some things.

That'll be something obviously we talk about as well.

SPEAKER_5 (1:57)

If you're as simple as who gives you the next best chance to win or are there other things to consider?

Brian Daboll (2:01)

Yeah, I'd say we're just getting started on that process now. So we'll, you know, we'll have plenty of meetings here tonight, tomorrow.

SPEAKER_6 (2:12)

In your mind, do you have a list of things that you've prioritized that you want to address in the coming week? And do you have enough time to address them?

Brian Daboll (2:18)

Yeah, yep, you know, I've been working on that for the past couple of weeks here as we get going. So once I get done with this, get back up with the coaches, look at the game last night, have a few more things to do with that. Then we'll get on to some of the self scout and maybe looking at a couple other things around the league. Kim, would you or Charlotte?

SPEAKER_7 (2:40)

I was just going to ask with the quarterback situation, how much do you factor some continuity and sticking with Tommy versus maybe the experience?

Brian Daboll (2:46)

Yeah, well, that's something we'll talk about. We'll talk about it all.

SPEAKER_7 (2:48)

What about you personally, though?

Brian Daboll (2:50)

I'd say we'll have all the discussions collectively about it and make a decision.

SPEAKER_8 (2:54)

Brian, about an update on the health of Tyra, obviously off that and also Darren Waller. What are your expectations for those two guys? Do you expect to see them this year?

Brian Daboll (3:03)

Yeah, well, I'd say they're getting better. We'll see where they're at. I haven't even talked to the medical guys yet, but they've been getting better.

SPEAKER_8 (3:09)

Do they have a chance of returning after the bye week?

Brian Daboll (3:12)

We'll see. Yeah, we'll see.

SPEAKER_9 (3:14)

Brian, there's so many quarterbacks that are drafted first round, second round, third round that their first year, they can't even operate. And the end of Valenay of Tommy, who I know it's not perfect, but he's still functioning. So what characteristics did he have that have either developed underneath you or coming out of school where you're like, this guy might have something?

Brian Daboll (3:31)

I mean, it's an important position to try to develop.

It's a hard position. This guy's, like I said, since OTAs, he's done everything we've asked him to do. I thought he's had two good mentors in there in terms of players. I think Shea does an excellent job with him. Kaft does a great job with him. You know, we've met. Him and I meet once a week. We have since OTAs. Discussed a lot of different things. I actually just met with him just now, right before I came down here.

So he's got the right mindset. A lot of work to do. You know, he's a young player, but he's made some progress.
