00:00Why isn't the contract done?
00:17Now, yesterday, Stephen said we're disagreeing on a number.
00:22Micah thinks there's a certain number.
00:24We think there's a certain number.
00:26And apparently, in the walk-off afterwards, Jerry suggested we have a lot of the boxes checked,
00:35whether it's 7 out of 10, 8 out of 10, 9 out of 10.
00:38Here's Micah on getting a new contract before camp.
00:43I mean, extremely important.
00:45I mean, you really see a lot of players struggle when guys aren't participating in camp
00:50and they get off to slow starts.
00:52I don't want to get off to no slow starts.
00:53I'm going to hit the ground running and establish ourselves in this league
00:57and get some wins early in the season and be in rhythm.
01:00You know what I mean?
01:00It's going to be extremely important for me to get going and lead these guys.
01:04So I love that from Micah.
01:05I don't want to get off to a slow start.
01:07CD said it was a factor.
01:09I want to get in there and lead.
01:10So I want the contract to be done.
01:13Stephen, I'm trying to pick through this and see if you absorbed it the same way I did.
01:20I felt like Stephen yesterday may have been downplaying the absence of players during camp
01:28or when it begins.
01:29He goes, well, Nick Bosa showed up two days before the start of San Francisco's season.
01:34They went on a long playoff run.
01:37That's not what I just said.
01:38Jerry talked about Zach missing and he's like, we had one of our better years.
01:41I felt like, you tell me if I'm way off.
01:44Jerry and Stephen were saying, if Micah misses camp or a lot of camp,
01:49I felt like they were downplaying the importance of training camp.
01:53Yeah, and I think guys can hold out and be perfectly fine.
01:56They were citing certain instances.
01:58Now, maybe that was just to cover them if this thing drags out.
02:03And obviously, you would think would want everyone there day one.
02:06And you know Brian Schottenheimer does.
02:08But I found it interesting that Stephen cited the instances where guys showed up late,
02:13if at all, and still had good years.
02:15I think they have to, though.
