SPEAKER_3 (1:25)

What we got on any injuries guys?

Brian Daboll (1:28)

Yeah, everybody will do everything today.

Huh? Everybody will do everything today.

SPEAKER_3 (1:34)

That includes Evan Neil?

Brian Daboll (1:36)

Yeah, we're doing a little bit more of a walkthrough, so.

SPEAKER_3 (1:41)

But he'll be listed as a limited participant of practice, I assume?

Brian Daboll (1:43)

Yeah, but he'll be out there. There's nobody that's not doing anything.

SPEAKER_5 (1:47)

What does Evan, Darren Waller?

Brian Daboll (1:51)

We'll see where we're at here. We're making progress, getting closer.

What do you think of Waller's, Neil's chances of finding himself?

SPEAKER_6 (2:01)

We'll see.

Brian Daboll (2:01)

Go through the week and determine it at the end of the week.

SPEAKER_7 (2:05)

Is there a strong desire to get both those guys on the field as soon as he can?

Brian Daboll (2:09)

Yeah, I mean, whenever they're ready to go, then we'll have a plan for him.

SPEAKER_6 (2:13)

The top of his shoulder went on that fumble, turned to look like he went back and watched it.

SPEAKER_3 (2:18)

And he was kind of...

Brian Daboll (2:20)

No, he's good.

SPEAKER_8 (2:22)

What did you think of O'Gillari? He had the sack and then he had... So he gets criticized sometimes for his run defense, and he made a pretty good play there on the run.

Brian Daboll (2:30)

Yeah, I thought he played one of his better games for us since we've been here. Played with a lot of energy, did a good job in the run game, made some play. You know, they missed that field goal. He got that big tackle for a loss, rushed well.

He was making progress. I thought he played a good game.

SPEAKER_3 (2:46)

Just to be clear, I'm Waller. For a second, when you say everyone's gonna practice, does that include him? Not him.

Brian Daboll (2:51)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_8 (2:51)

Okay.

Brian Daboll (2:53)

Everybody that can practice will.

SPEAKER_8 (2:56)

Yep.

SPEAKER_6 (3:00)

Dave, it looked like they really wanted to hit you the other night with a lot of misdirection. I know that's part of their offense. And if you go back earlier this year, you guys seem to have a lot of problems with that, especially in the Miami games. They called you a lot with the pre-snap.

What do you attest to? Is it just time and the defense gelling, or do you think it's something that you guys did game plan-wise that allowed you to overcome that?

Brian Daboll (3:26)

Well, we made some good plays, too. I mean, that two-point play was a heck of a play by Bobby and the rest of the guys, where they motioned back, handed off, and then outside. You know, there's a wide variety of runs you get nowadays in the league, whether it's jet sweeps with receivers, reverses, outside zones with receivers, kind of a different way than the traditional way. So, I think every team tries to tack edges, inside, gap, zone, you know, I think each team differs.

But, you know, I thought we played some of them, you know, exactly the way we needed to play them, and they made some good plays on some other ones.

SPEAKER_3 (4:01)

What is it about Kavon? What area have you seen the biggest improvement with him this year?

Brian Daboll (4:07)

Really all of them.

He's just, you know, I've said this before, I got a high amount of respect for Kavon. I'm glad we have him. He's made progress since the day he's walked in his door. He's got good leadership traits about him. He's a talented player.
