What is the status of Jermaine Eluemunor and when is he set to return?
Jermaine Eluemunor's status is one of those situations that we're monitoring day-to-day. As for his return, we're looking at the bigger picture and assessing our needs as we head into the final stretch of the season. In this business, we've got to be strategic about our roster moves and who we're putting on the field, especially considering future contracts and the direction we're aiming to take the team.
I won't sugarcoat it — if a player isn't in the plans going forward, sometimes it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to rush them back onto the field. We want to invest reps and experience into the players who we see as part of the team's core moving ahead. That's the nature of the NFL; it's always moving, always evolving. We've got to make the tough calls that set us up for success down the line.
Did you scout Felix Anudike-Uzomah before the draft? If so, what stood out about him?
Who? … never heard of him… next question.
Can you describe kind of the energy or the mood and the vibe in the building now coming in the home stretch?
The energy in the building? It’s like the last lap of a marathon. Some folks are limping, some are sprinting, but everyone’s eyeing that finish line with a different kind of hunger. We've had our share of bumps this season, no secret there, and everybody knows changes are coming. It's the nature of the beast in this business.
So, the vibe? It's a mix of anticipation and intensity. We're not just playing out the string here; we're evaluating every move, every decision on and off the field. The players know it, the staff knows it. Everyone's looking to show they've got what it takes to be part of the future we're building.
As for 'cleaning house,' let's just say that there's a certain excitement that comes with knowing you've got a chance to reshape the team. Getting 'our guys' in here isn't about just ditching the old; it's about bringing in the new energy, new commitment, and new talent that aligns with our vision. So yeah, we're excited, because every step from here on out is a step toward the team we're going to become.
