Is 24 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,919 Speaker 1: that just an acknowledgement of where you are and COVID 25 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: protocol and held something can wipe you out in a week. Well, 26 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think, like anything, I think Will McClay 27 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: and in their staff do an excellent job. You know, 28 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: as as you go through training camp, you know, you're 29 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: really you know, they're they're great in tape and there 30 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: they're waiting against the rest of the you know, potent 31 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: prospects around the league. I mean, that's I think it's 32 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: pretty universal. So you know, Um, I'm kind of screwed 33 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: up on what day is here? So today's Thursday, So 34 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: I said, I've been Tuesday night. Um, so when that 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: you know, that whole process when it come across the wire, 36 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: staying up throughout the night and then they had everything 37 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: ready for us as coaches when we came in. So 38 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: I just going through that process of looking, you know, 39 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: each position that we felt that we needed to potentially 40 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: look at. Um. You know, then going through the quarterback position, 41 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's Will we felt was the best best 42 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: prospect out there. Um, obviously, remember when he came out 43 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: of West Virginia. You know, Doug actually coached him in Florida, 44 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: you know for a year and Doug nos Meyer, so 45 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: I had a chance of studying when he was in 46 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: Carolina two years ago. So we you know, felt like 47 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: through the personnel department and the coaching staff, we felt 48 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: like we had really good information on him and we 49 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: thought he'd be a great fit for us, young golden up. 50 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: I'll pay where he is and what your game is. Well, 51 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: I don't have the exact timeline, but it was obviously 52 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: it's it's sooner than later, you know. It was the 53 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: decision not not to you know, keep him on pup 54 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: for the six weeks. So, um, it's exactly when he'll 55 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: be into the full you know, the full flow of practice. 56 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 1: The probably be a couple more weeks, you know, but 57 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: he's getting close, getting better. So we obviously felt that 58 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: he was you know, better off, you know, coming on 59 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: to the fifty three as opposed to being on the pup. 60 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: Went back to the day. Yes, Dan's been back since Monday. 61 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: You still have Connor, Sorry, Yeah, they're they're still on 62 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: the COVID list, just talking about apologize that's what the 63 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: reviewers where he came in or I I didn't realize we're 64 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: gonna go throw us. It's been, as you know, a 65 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: lot of back and forth last forty eight hours, just 66 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: talking about the exactment today with those guys back, and 67 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: you can't getting ready to I mean, it's extremely exciting. 68 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: I you know, I think this is you know, this 69 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: is the kickoff to the regular season. You know, I 70 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: think really you know, sharing what we talked about in 71 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: the team meeting this morning. You know, you start a 72 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: training camp roster, really an offseason roster. You're working towards 73 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: ninety and then you go through training camp and have 74 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: a team meeting today where you have seventy seven players 75 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: still in the house. You know, four of them were new, 76 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: so seventy three of the ninety man roster still part 77 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: of your operation. I think it's Biggs volumes about the 78 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: commitment from the organization and to find as many means 79 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: as possible to keep these guys here, because you know, 80 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: and my own personal experience, you know, when when we 81 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: hoisted the Super Bowl Trophy and passed out the rings, 82 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: there were seventy seven players. It took to win that championship. 83 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: So I think the irony and the reality the game 84 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: of football, plus you had the seventeenth game. I mean, 85 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: it's it takes a lot of players to be successful 86 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: in this league, and I'm thrilled to that we have 87 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: our guys, you know, we have we have the majority 88 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: of our guys that we've been with. You know, we 89 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: have you know, second year guys, you know, ready to 90 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: make that leap. You know, we have an excellent rookie class. 91 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: So I have a strong, strong contingency of veterans. Uh. 92 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: I really like the mix of our roster. Forty three 93 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: percent of our rosters knew from last year. I think 94 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: that speaks volumes of the direction we're going. So I 95 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: think we have a lot of growth and development in 96 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: front of us. We alsos have to pull together quickly, 97 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: have a great week or preparation to go get this 98 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: win in Tampa. Guys C and D have and practice together. 99 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: You know, while how do they what do you do 100 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: to get them kind of go on? Or do you 101 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: think that's well, it's something you everything you can. So, 102 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 1: I mean it's within the realm of our practice structure, 103 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: and you know, if there's extra throwing and so forth. 104 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: You know, we're you know, we're in a game plan mode. 105 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: You know, we're we put in normal D and D 106 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: and third down today. This would be like a mid 107 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: season Wednesday, so you know, we were we're in a 108 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: game plan schemes specific as far as our operation, you know. 109 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: But I think anytime you have a chance to compete, 110 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: which we'll do when we get into the next UM 111 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: to Sunday Monday phase of a week of preparation, we'll 112 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: maybe have a couple of competitive pairs or at least 113 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: one each day, because I do want to get that 114 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: going to answer your questions, So I think it'll definitely 115 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: help guys that haven't had some reps here of late. 116 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: Did you guys have any interest had any Cam Newton? 117 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: And if not, I mean they you know, just sit 118 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: there and we'll talk about any of the players and 119 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: on a roster. I don't think there's really anything that 120 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: beneficial that comes out of that for us. But Cam's 121 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: had a chance to compete against Cam Um, you know, 122 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: a chance to watch you know, some of this tape 123 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: in New England. So I still think he has a 124 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: ton of a ton of football left. But you know, 125 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: we were very excited about the group that we have 126 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: cd KY. They're conditioning, you know, being out and talk 127 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: about what they need and what kind of schagory. Yeah, 128 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I just think every one of them was 129 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: specific to how, you know, how they were dealing with 130 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: their time off. So there was some personal conditioning that 131 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: went on the last couple of days. So that was 132 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: great to see. CDs has been in, you know, seeing 133 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: the trainers and so forth, so we feel like we're 134 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: on top of that and you know, these guys are 135 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: in tune with what they need to do, and we 136 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: understand the game we're getting ready to get into here 137 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: and you know, nobody knows their body better than native. 138 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: So we're on top of it more and more accepting 139 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: that last time in twenty nineteen on a team that 140 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: now that things are different than it will never go 141 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: back to the way it wasn't were coastal lasting bad. 142 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: You know, I hope you're wrong. That's a great question. 143 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: I clearly understand why you're asking. Um, you know, change 144 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: has always been part of the National Football League. I 145 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: think if you just look at the roster development and 146 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: how all came together here in the last two days 147 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: and still the fluency of what we're dealing with here 148 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: the next you know, twenty four twenty four hours. I 149 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: think it clearly is an illustration of change changes constant 150 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: in this league. But you can't you deny that the 151 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: pandemic and the stressors of COVID protocols and all the 152 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: other things that surround our our games, to surround our 153 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: society is is definitely enhanced and there's more change that 154 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: we're dealing with. So um, but yes, it's it's different 155 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: now we're all going through it, and it's frankly, it's 156 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: I think as a as a leader of a football 157 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: operations and how you structure things, you got you got 158 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: to anticipate more and you just got to be ready 159 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: to move your feet and have have guys ready because it's, uh, 160 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: it seems to continue to be a movement target and 161 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: the challenge. It looks like a couple of guys in 162 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: your rookie class are going to step in and start 163 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: for you right away. Can you talk about the rookie 164 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: class overalls, just what you expect to get immediately and 165 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: if what you've seen from some other guys when they 166 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: positioned to work in and help the singer rather than 167 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: the later this year. I mean, the biggest thing for 168 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: a rookie class is to contribute, you know, regardless of 169 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: its offense, defense, or special teams. You know, and you 170 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: know as you as you project coming out of the 171 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: roster development and now you have to get into a weekly, 172 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: weekly planning of you know who the forty eight. You 173 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: know players are going to be so um and not 174 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: only if they're not a part of that initial forty eight. 175 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: And given as far as going down to the practice squads, 176 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: because I had a very similar conversation when each and 177 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: every one of them, you know, their expectation is to 178 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: prepare and grow each week because there's going to be 179 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: a time throughout the season that they're gonna be called upon, 180 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: you know, maybe November, maybe December, and as we all know, 181 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: those are those are the biggest games of the year. 182 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: So we just got to make sure everybody's doing everything 183 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: they need to do extra um, put the extra time 184 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: in to make sure they're ready each and every week, 185 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: because the whole team's got to grow. I mean, that's 186 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: that's the only way you're able to win successfully and 187 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: winking with consistency in this league, coming background and special 188 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: teams how big of a part of that was adding 189 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: in it? I mean, yeah, definitely, it's part of it. 190 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, you look at the third 191 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: the third running back on your active you know, game 192 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: day roster. I mean that's that's important. You know. You 193 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: look at Rico last year. How he evolved, you know, 194 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: is a great comparable. Yeah, it's it's definitely part of 195 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: it with career and having to pick up this offic 196 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: you know as you get going here, how quarterback friendly 197 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: or how I know it's not easy, but how do 198 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: you guys kind of beat up a process with it? Well, 199 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: I mean, Frank and we broke them out individually. Um, 200 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, Kellen ran the quarterback meeting and Doug took 201 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: Will in a one on one session today because obviously 202 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: just got in. So we'll do the best we can. 203 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: I mean, there's the biggest The biggest challenge is always 204 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: the language. You know, it's you know, mastering the language 205 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: is is what you have to get to, you know, 206 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: is where you're going to get to. I mean, you 207 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: know they you know, defense still lines up with eleven. 208 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: You know we're gonna put eleven out there too, So 209 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, how you handle certain protection adjustments. Really, 210 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: what the call is a lot of it is language 211 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: and starting point because you know, there's usually two ways 212 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: to do things in this league, whether it's run checks 213 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: or protection checks or how you read a progression. Starting 214 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: points are important. So I think just giving him clarity 215 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: on that, and then probably the third part of it 216 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: is the cadence. You know, he needs to get his 217 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: cadence in line with THATX, you know, just to make 218 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: sure we have rhythm and the continuity there at the 219 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: line of screaming. So, I mean, that's that's to me, 220 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: that's those are the priorities for will Well. Well, I 221 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 1: don't look at it as a message to Cooper. I 222 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: think it's I think it's just a message to you know, 223 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: trying to continue to be competitive and and trying to 224 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: improve your roster. So uh, you know, once again, I 225 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: think anytime you add someone from the outside, you know, 226 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: it brings competition, and competition is good, Conflict is good. 227 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, I think you have to 228 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: have that at the workplace. You know, you want that 229 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: type of environment, you know, want the climate to continue 230 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: to compete. We're gonna do some more competitive drills, um, 231 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully things stay the same. But if we 232 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: can stay in a regular season regularity, you know of 233 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,719 Speaker 1: how we practice each and every week, you know, we'll 234 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: line up and have a competitive drill on Wednesday, went 235 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: on Thursday. We're gonna do some We're gonna do some 236 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: drills with the young players this year that we haven't done. 237 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: I haven't done in probably a decade. So, I mean, so, 238 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: I think anytime you can add competition, it's a benefits 239 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: to your to your program. Just have young young guy competition. 240 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: Drill um, let the cat out of the bag. Just 241 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: look for next week and the padded practice. Something's side scoop. Yeah, ah, sorry, 242 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: I thought they were gone with the I think you're 243 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: a low of fourteen padded practices. Does this week count 244 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: towards that? You know? Yeah, you mean this sextra here. Yeah, 245 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: that's a great question. I think you have one padded 246 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: practice and you're technically in the bye week. You know, 247 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: this is technically our bye week before UM and then 248 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: our regular week one starts Sunday? Is my understanding? Do 249 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: you know of that? Then they three days off? Did 250 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: he have guys up at his back yard field and 251 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: working guys out or anything? On his own. I'll let 252 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: you you know, I'll let you save a couple of 253 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: questions for Dak. So your your expectations of Parsons were 254 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: hobnously high. You know where you drafted him, but you 255 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: don't know about guys and what they can absorb and Jill, 256 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: you work with him. Has he impressed you with his 257 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: ability to be parts of lots of different packages and 258 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: maybe gave you a little more versatility early than you 259 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: were unsure of that he could do. Definitely, I think 260 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: he's absorbed it very well. I mean, you know, the 261 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: play three positions, you know, I think at at a 262 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: young age, you know, I think he's adjusted very nicely. 263 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: You know. You know, actually Dan and Mica have a 264 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: one on one meeting you know, uh uh you know, 265 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: during the game plan segment of it, so you know, 266 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of like a quarterback meeting, just because he 267 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: does have to go in and out of two different rooms. 268 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: So I think I think he's he's handled very well. 269 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: I mean, just as far as going through the installs 270 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: who practice you know, he uh he you know, he 271 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: could see it and go get it. I mean, I 272 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: think that's obviously his best trade. But he's he's been 273 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: very assignment sound do anything the next two days and 274 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna wait until Sunday he get him gone up. Well, 275 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: you know we're waiting. Um so Jim Jim, Jim Jim 276 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: wants to hold off on see right now. So a 277 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: good one he should be, he should do he should 278 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: do it a little bit. Yeah, I won't do anything today. 279 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: How important to you? It's frustrating practices guys building kind 280 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: of their own energy. You know, we've seen a little 281 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: bit hard knights for focusing about like we can't be 282 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: doing this all the time before you you know, you 283 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: guys have to be able to build your own energy. 284 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: You can't be about having music kind of things. Like 285 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: how important is that for especially in the practice setting. 286 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's important. It's important for everybody. I mean, 287 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: everybody has the responsibility to bring good energy to the workplace. 288 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: I think the most important thing is I've always looked 289 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: for consistency. I think it's important for people to stay 290 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: within their personality consistent, you know, be consistent. I mean 291 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: it's it's I think if you're up and down every day, 292 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna you know, there's a good chance you're probably 293 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: gonna perform that way. So I think the biggest thing 294 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: is to your point, is probably being aware of it. 295 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: Because energy is important. I think we all can get 296 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: two technical to cerebral. I think there's a time and 297 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: place for that in the in the daily you know 298 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: operation of you know, maybe meetings and so forth. But 299 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: you know, the practice field is the most important thing 300 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: we do each day. We put a tremendous amount of 301 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: time and energy into you know, how the practice is 302 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: laid out, the specific drills are going to do. You 303 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: know who's going to get how many reps in each drill? 304 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: On the parade of carded you know, you can get 305 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: an exact look for the in the offensive defense. So 306 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: there's a tremendous amount of time and energy that goes 307 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: into that. So with that, you want to make sure 308 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: you get that out of it. So UM, did not 309 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: have energy during practice is probably you know, it's definitely 310 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: a recipe for it not to go the way you're 311 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: looking for. So UM, So I think that's definitely important. 312 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: But also, UM, I think it's important to recognize today 313 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: the regular season starts, you know, our practices will be 314 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: different than they were leading up to. Now you know, 315 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: I know, part just for me personally, you know, I'm 316 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: in personnel evaluation mode throughout training camp, you know, and 317 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: now it's now it's time to win a game. You know, 318 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: we need to get the things right to need to 319 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: be right. I got to make sure that veteran players 320 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: are get enough reps in those in those drills, you know, 321 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: particularly guys that made a lot of practice next to 322 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: the this guy you know in a week and so forth. 323 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: And so I mean that's I think that's why coaches, 324 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: I know why, that's why coaches work the hours you do, 325 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: because you want to make sure you're getting these guys 326 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: a really good script to get ready, so get ready 327 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: to win. He concerned about Layout being available for the game. 328 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: Um No, I really don't know. I mean, you know, 329 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: as far as where he is, you know, as far 330 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: as the physical, um chip, Jim's wants to be cautious 331 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: right now. So um, but you know that can change 332 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: them are I mean it's they haven't given me a 333 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: you know, um diagnosis as far as you know, he's 334 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: out a week or something like that. So I think 335 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: if he doesn't go today in tomorrow, I think I 336 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: assume that he probably have an excellent chance going Sunday, 337 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: ning to field goal or want to overdue Annas. He's 338 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: still I mean, he has a kicking regiment, and I 339 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: think it's you know, it's part of the message today 340 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: about the veteran players and make sure they get you know, 341 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 1: the proper drill work. I think feedback when a guy 342 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: gets up to six to seven, you know, if nine 343 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: guys that played seven plus years in this league, so 344 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: you know, you trust their routines, and you know their 345 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: rep you know their rep count and exactly you know, 346 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: and and John has you know, Fossil has a long 347 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: history with with all of our specialists. So no, I 348 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: trust the regiment. Are you Are you pleased with the 349 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: work that Olsa did after Nevil went out and help 350 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: he kind of sees that opportunity. Yeah, definitely. I mean 351 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: I think just the way he played in the preseason 352 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: speaks for itself. And you know, you just see the 353 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: way he's been able to roll in there, you know, 354 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: throughout you know, practicing games. So I mean he's really 355 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: done an excellent job with his with his opportunities. So 356 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: I think he's done an excellent job. Very happy with us. 357 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: You think about how much more an opportunity to team 358 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: and you have a campus team together and the three 359 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: team this year, how do you think that will transplate 360 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: onto the field in terms of just kind of franking 361 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: attent You know, Uh, last year is so hard to compare. 362 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: I mean, even even as something as simple as comparing 363 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: the GPS workload of our practice last year to this year, 364 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's uh, it's significantly different.
