1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Jerry was here. I mean, uh yeah, is there a

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: well Hey, first off, obviously we're getting start today with

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: our first practice, looking forward to that, but we have

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: one announcement. I mean, we could talk more through the

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: specifics our pup list here. We'll start with Mary Cooper,

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: Chauncey Golston, Tristan Hill, Mitch Hyatt, and the Marcus, Lawrence

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: and Greg's oarline went off to practice, and also t

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: J Vasser. Okay, so if you have any questions, if

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: you guys want to talk through that, let's the Marcus

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: had a postseason surgery. We're not a high concern. Same

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: thing with Greg, and there's just things that we're being smart.

12
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: They both had some postseason work. Mica, As far as

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: working through, which of these guys do you anticipate being

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: able to work into this camp? And are there are

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: a couple of guys in there who may not be

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: able to work in I would think they'd all have

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: a chance. Yeah, I don't think. I don't see the

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: n of these is the long term. I think Tristan

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: to be a little the furthest away, but he's he's

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule. Same with Mitch. So um Yeah, We're

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: just like anything. And I think it's smart, just being

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: smart to bring bringing back slowly. But I don't have

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: any long term concerns of any really with any of

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: the guys in regards to kicking. Will you be bringing

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: someone in or will Nice Winter take something? Yeah, Nice

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: Water will be handling all the all the you know,

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: kicking and punting. So this is a great opportunity for Hunter.

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: I think Great had a surgery as well or correct,

29
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah you said it wasn't, but Marcus, this is their

30
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: fact surgery they's had over the past few years. I

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: think it's more of a clean up. Yeah, there was.

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: There was not high concern. So uh, he's he looks great.

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: It's probably more us than him. As far as the

34
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: timeline of him coming back. Lake Darwin didn't do much

35
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: in the spring. What does it say that he's not

36
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: on this list, Well, I think it says a lot,

37
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: you know. I think also when you look at timing

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: of injuries and you know, and I think it's uh

39
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: such a benefit to have the resources, the facility and

40
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: where our players are here full time. I mean, you

41
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: go through you know, we talked last night as a team. Um,

42
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: just it's probably one of the bigger offseason rehab list

43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: that I know I've been a part of. And uh,

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: and all of our guys stayed here in he stayed

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: in Dallas for the rehab. So I think that speaks volumes,

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: you know for our training staff or our strength and

47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: conditioning staff, and um, you know, actually, britt Brown, we

48
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: kind of we recognized him last night and the team meeting.

49
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: And the reason why I'm ging telling you that because

50
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: I noticed is going to really piss them off that

51
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: I put this out in the media. So, um, but

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: you know, he did an incredible job. The whole staff did.

53
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I think brits unique and his

54
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: and his methods and his commitment. Um, so uh, you know,

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: all of our guys did a great job. So but

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: it just the timeline that we're just being smart with

57
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: is he falling on that same is probably more you

58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: than him, I think, so you know, and and uh,

59
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, he had he has a history there. It

60
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: looks great, he's in great shape. So I mean, this

61
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: is the time of year to be smart. No over

62
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: officer about him. When you know when he had a

63
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: thirty it's it's it's longer. Didn't expect it. I think

64
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: it's you know, we're not getting into specifics, um you know,

65
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: of everything. I think it's more for Mar to talk on.

66
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm I'm not concerned. I mean, I think

67
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: it's you know, he's played a lot of football, um,

68
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, but if when you see him, he's in

69
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: he's in great shape. He's in the best shape that

70
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: that I've I've you know, since I've been working with him.

71
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: So un challenges it for Bulson. You mentioned you only

72
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: get twelve practices rookie to start trying. I mean it's

73
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely a challenge, you know, but you know,

74
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: he's he's got an injury that he's dealing with and

75
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't really have a timeline for him. So but

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: now all of our players, including our rookies, you know,

77
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: we had the rookie school where the rookies stay in

78
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: the extra weeks. So I really feel good about we're

79
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: able to accomplish on the soft season. We're spending as

80
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: much time walking through things and so forth. Uh, yeah,

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: he'll be ready. I mean, he was in town through

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: the whole break, you know, from June to July, so

83
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: he's got a lot invested. I think Chauncey will do fine.

84
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: Was something that came up in a spring. Do you

85
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: need a circus? I think it's more it's in the spring. Yeah,

86
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't have exam recall the exact date. That's all

87
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: seasons of spring, right, Okay, thanks Rich, great job. Let's

88
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: give it up for Rich. Huh awesome. They to participate,

89
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: tell me when I need you. Okay, I'm sure it's coming.

90
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: But uh, any setbacks and it's just the product of

91
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: the progress. Yeah, I think the timing of his injury

92
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: and so forth. But yeah, he's you know, as far

93
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: as you know the rehab schedule. I mean he's he's

94
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: right on schedule. I mean he's he's been here the

95
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: whole time. Also, so Mike, could you could you speak

96
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: your expectations the season, uh for Zeke and what role

97
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: you want him to play in your offense. I mean,

98
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: he came he's coming off the worst season his career,

99
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: and there's probably a lot of reasons for that during

100
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback in her golfensive line issues. But could you

101
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: just give us a sense of what your expectations are

102
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: for him? I think the biggest thing for Zeke and

103
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: uh and just like he's done since I know, my

104
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: first day here is just to be himself. You know,

105
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: he'll take advantage of his opportunities. I know, it's what

106
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: his numbers are complete last year compared to the prior years,

107
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: so and you know the standard that he has set

108
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: for himself. But you know, he's uh, he does so

109
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: much more than just run the football for us. So

110
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: I you know, he's he's a magnet full of energy.

111
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: It's his birthday today, so we've you know, we're having

112
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: fun with that. But you know he's got so much

113
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: natural leadership just just in a way he goes about

114
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: his business. So the production on the field is not

115
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: a concern of mine him. The production will be there

116
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: with the opportunity. And I think, you know, like a

117
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: lot of things last year clearly understand um with the

118
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: numbers reflect but also there was a lot of adversity

119
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: that that played into that. So you know, we have

120
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: we have a clean start. Health is always a part

121
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: of your success, and I think as long as as

122
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: we stay healthy, our you know, our success has a

123
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: chance to be at a very high at a very

124
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: high level. Imagine he attends a quarterback meetings, what's what's

125
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: the purpose of that. How unusual is that in your experience.

126
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: I just think it does his love of football. I mean,

127
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: just to be in tune with the checks, you know,

128
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: because you know, you go to the quarterback meetings are

129
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, particularly this time of year, and I mean

130
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: we're really not in there discussing plays, you know, because

131
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: these guys put so much time and during the off

132
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: season or the spring, whatever way you look at it.

133
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: But it's it's it's more about checks and alerts and

134
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: you know communication. You know, you spend so much time

135
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: on cadence because this is the time of year you're

136
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: able to be together, you know, for eleven twelve hours

137
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: a day in a in a workflow. So the cadence

138
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: and the apt the line that that's that's where you know,

139
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: this time of year so important. So to be part

140
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: of those conversations in the quarterback room, it's it's obviously beneficial.

141
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 1: I mean just watch the practice. You'll see after plays,

142
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: you'll see Dak talking to Zach Martin and the quarterback

143
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: because that those are the we talk about the details

144
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: and the little things to go into this and why

145
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: you unique training camp. Um, that's that's a big part

146
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: of it. I know it is for me in the

147
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: way I've always operated on as far as the offensive approach,

148
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: so and you know, the ability to play fasts, uh,

149
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: anticipate to see things at the line of scrimmage. Uh,

150
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, when you're when you're you're you're interior offensive lining,

151
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: your running backs are on the same page from a

152
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: communication standpoint, as far as the anticipation of what's going on,

153
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: obviously makes you much better offense. There's a difference between

154
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: between these four practices and when the pads go on

155
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: in terms of objective and pace. Well personally, I mean,

156
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: the only thing different for these four practices is that

157
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: I can't get fine for working hard because we know

158
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: we don't have pads on. But no, it's uh, we

159
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: want to get to tempo. I mean, we want to

160
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: get to playing fast, being sharp. You know, I think

161
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: the the cadence operation, you know, the offense, stressing the defense,

162
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: the defense. Uh, you know, anticipating what's what's coming. Uh,

163
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, being uh, you know situation specific. You know,

164
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: it's time to get into real football. You know, now

165
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: you don't really get to that point until you put

166
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: the pads on. But you know, time clocks, tempo, you know,

167
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: the mechanics, uh, the timing, the flow, you know, just

168
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: as simple as the mock game, the sideline operation, getting

169
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: in and out of the game, personnel substitutions, you know,

170
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: those are all things that you know, just like anything

171
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: in life, you need, you need repetition and and these

172
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: these first four practices will will give us that the

173
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: targets you'd like to see jacket first being back and wraptice. Oh,

174
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: I just want to see him get through every practice

175
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully, uh just knock the rust off

176
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: and I'll get get through the pain free moments. And

177
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: I think that everybody goes through when you're coming coming

178
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: back of a you know, uh, you know again injury,

179
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: a joint injury. And I do think he's past that,

180
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 1: but you know, he has to go through. It's just

181
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: like everybody else. Um, I mean, he looks great, he's

182
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: got he was just out here and the walk to

183
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: talk through and uh, you know, he's got a lot

184
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: of bounce in him. So but it's you know, camps, camp, camps.

185
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 1: You know you need camp. We all need camp. So

186
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: but just really just to get the full practices under

187
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: his belt. And I think that will be fine fumbles

188
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: last year that he had was or any common deed

189
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: how you guys reviewed it, and so they think that

190
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: he could do to prevent those issuears. Definitely, I think

191
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: anytime you have a turnover or give away on the

192
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: offense and no different on the other side of it.

193
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: I think today's NFL taking a football away. I mean,

194
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: it's always been an art, but I think it's definitely

195
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: a skill that that has definitely improved in in our game.

196
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: And I think just the way you teach tackling and uh,

197
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,599
Speaker 1: so many teams are doing a much better job of

198
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: it and you're seeing it. You're seeing it done at

199
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: the college level too. So um, but yeah, it's it's

200
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: it's fundamental work that that you can emphasize. We emphasize

201
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: that every day. Uh it'll be it's part of our

202
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: team meeting every single day. But yeah, it's things that

203
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: we can continue to work on. Last year, it's just

204
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: bad luck, Like he's reaching out and ball hits a

205
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: foot and he comes out of me. And when you

206
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: look at it, I mean, I don't believe in bad

207
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: luck when you're taking care of the football. So I

208
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: mean you have to so and Uh. You know the

209
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: other part of that too is you know, the other

210
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: ten men on the field have the responsibility to cover it.

211
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: And that's that's why going back to the earlier question

212
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: about tempo finished, to pursuit and to cover all those things. Uh,

213
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: you know, from the first time you're able to go

214
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: full speed, whether you're in helmets or full pads, this

215
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: is this is an opportunity to work on that and

216
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: that's that's definitely a skill set, it's a it's part

217
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: of your everyday operations, and some teams do better than others,

218
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: and that's why it's a it's a primary focus for us.

219
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: We need to be much better in that area than

220
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: we were last year. You guys are will flip to

221
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: run eleven personnel of course, but with Lake's return, what

222
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: does that what are the patients for what your offense

223
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: can do out of twelve, Dalton's breakout last year and

224
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: now Lakes helping well, I think you definitely have to

225
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: utilize your players, and you're definitely with Dalton with you know,

226
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: with his contribution last year that that has been recognized. Um,

227
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: you know eleven, twelve, twenty one, twenty two. I mean

228
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: you look at the primary personnel groups in normal down

229
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: and distance, because which is going to be our you know,

230
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: our emphasis today normal down distance in second eight plus.

231
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: You have to have all those because unfortunately, injuries happened.

232
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: You know, I had an instance in two thousand and

233
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: ten where we had or Michael Finley just was a

234
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, the two thousand and nine he came on

235
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: and was such a great matchup for us, and we

236
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: spent the whole offseason with every possible concept and formation

237
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: that you could possibly do out of twenty one personnel,

238
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: and we lost their Michael I think week four, so

239
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: uh so we had to adjust and flow and you know,

240
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: ironically it was ended up being a great year, but

241
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: it was a it was a lesson learned, an offensive

242
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: installation and so forth. It's a long year. My point is,

243
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: you we you know, I understand what Levin looks like.

244
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: I understand, uh the fan fantasy football members out there

245
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: want to you know, they how that works. But we

246
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: got to be able to play you know, eleven, twelve,

247
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: twenty one to twenty two in normal D and D.

248
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that's the way we're going, but

249
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: you have to have that flexibility and That's why we

250
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: installed by concept, uh you know, formation and in personnels

251
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: as second, because you got to be able to use

252
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: all your players lines where there with places injury happens

253
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: still earlier early in the season last year where their

254
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: plays and you guys the playbook that you just had

255
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: to sideline when he got injured, certain route combinations, Yeah,

256
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: you couldn't do out of twelve or what what have

257
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: you even eleven because he was no longer getting well.

258
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: I think last year eleven was our was clearly our

259
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: best personnel group if you talk about, you know, how

260
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: you wanted to play. But I think when you know

261
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: the investment that we have, particularly you know, first year

262
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: as a staff, uh, you know, really have the office

263
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: didn't have the off seasons really work together in person um.

264
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: Then with the way the ramp up went with you know,

265
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: when we lost Blake, we obviously all those reps that

266
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: we did have, you know, you know, we had tight

267
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: ends that we didn't really know much about. So so

268
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: obviously the three wide receiver set was was the primary

269
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: focus for us. So, but that that's not the case

270
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: this year. I'm that Mike, considering what Pollard did in

271
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: the spring, are you are you trying to have formations

272
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: so that the other team doesn't know exactly what personnel

273
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: group you're really in. Well, your I mean your question

274
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: really makes my point. You know, it's the ability to

275
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: play conceptionally, to attack the defense schematically, and in the

276
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: ability to have Tony play the wide receiver position keeps

277
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: you in that mode because the end of the day,

278
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: the offense is built around making the quarterback successful. That's

279
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: that's that's what I believe in. That's the way we're

280
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: set um and you know, and it starts with running

281
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: the football and the ability to have the action game

282
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: come off of that and then be favorable matchup and

283
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: concept conscious in the passing game. Because when the quarterback

284
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: and play through the passing game conceptionally, he plays faster

285
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: he's true, or he's not learning new plays based on

286
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: who's in the game. I think when you do that,

287
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: in my experience, you slow down a little bit. So

288
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: we want to make it as easy as possible for

289
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: Dyk and our quarterbacks to play conceptional football because the

290
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: nets where they're more efficient, and then all of our

291
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: reps carry over, you know, in our training. He asked

292
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: you about the couple list earlier, but you had so

293
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: many injuries across the team last year and in the

294
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: vast majority of them were able to start this camp

295
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: full go. How you mentioned Brad earlier and talk a

296
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: little bit more about that, just how encouraging him that

297
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: is and what kind of tone that sets after what

298
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: you dealt with last year. Definitely, I think it points

299
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: to the commitment and just the way our organization organizations

300
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: structured and in the way our players are wired. And

301
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, and that's that's new for me personally, where

302
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: you know the season's over and you walk in the

303
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: door and it's like this. You know, the flow of

304
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: the players coming in and out of the building hasn't

305
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: changed a whole lot, you know, and you know, it's

306
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: a credit to Jerry and the Jones family the fact

307
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: that you know, these guys come there in the morning,

308
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: they're able to get in there, they have you know,

309
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: full scale breakfast and mails are still available, and we're

310
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: able to get the workout, get to rehab, spend their

311
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: morning and then you know, grab lunch on on the

312
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: way out and just stay in the flow of their day.

313
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you could have a better

314
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: rehab situation you know, for a professional athletes than what's

315
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: been established in our organization. I don't, you know, we

316
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: want to we don't want to be known for having

317
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: the greatest rehab process, but we have a heck of

318
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: one when it happens. But we had a large number

319
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: and and and and those guys were we were there

320
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: the whole season, and I think that's what you're seeing.

321
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: And based off the number on pup and it's you know,

322
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: it's a publist that it's not very high concern of

323
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: any of these guys with the Hall of Fame, Dave.

324
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: You guys starting camp earlier obvious almost every other team

325
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: that longer runway to week one? Did that influence you

326
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: structure or schedule your training camp practices or maybe some

327
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: the workload just to make sure guys are physically where

328
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: you want to be so they're not you're beating down

329
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: by the time one comes around. Well, with compliments to

330
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: the you know, the league office in the NFLPA, they

331
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: kind of control the workload right now, So I said

332
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: at total with sarcasm, but uh, it's yeah, you're I

333
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: mean everybody practice is the same. You know you're on limits,

334
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: you know you're on time. Limits, So you just gotta

335
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: you have to be creative in your teaching. UM and

336
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: and you know, we have a you know, we have

337
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: a really good balance of you know, ven veterans that

338
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: this this climate definitely benefits them. And and it doesn't

339
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: matter what the work schedule is or how many hours

340
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: you can really work. You're you're always pushing the younger guys.

341
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: It gets the older guys. That's what this league has

342
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: always been about. UM So, yeah, I think it gives us,

343
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, it gives us a chance to um to

344
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, stay concept teaching things I've talked about on

345
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: already and be able to teach at a much better pace.

346
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm very thankful that we're in the fourth game.

347
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean I was you know, obviously we didn't get

348
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: to play in the Hall of Fame game last year.

349
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm personally looking forward to, you know, the playing in it.

350
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: And I think particularly with this team, this this extra

351
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: week is well, we will definitely benefit from it. How

352
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: different as a work day now than what it was

353
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: when you started in the NFL and training camp? I mean,

354
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: the only thing it's the same from nineteen ninety three

355
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: to day is you get to wear a sweatshirt in

356
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: the morning and at night because you're you're in Auction

357
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: or California as opposed the River Falls Wisconsin. I mean,

358
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: you can't even compare it. I mean it's I mean,

359
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: it's a different era. I mean it's your practice in

360
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: the morning, you're practice in the afternoon, and you met

361
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: at night, and you know, then then the coaching staff

362
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: met at matt after the staff meeting, so you didn't

363
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of sleep, and camp was longer. Um.

364
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: I think we went fifteen days in a row with

365
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: two days practice and pads, so it was a whole

366
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: different climate. It's set up now. Can you talk about

367
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: the importance of Dan Quinn's experience and how he can

368
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: lean on that trying to teach the new defense to do.

369
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: I think it's excellent because you know Dan, Dan's been

370
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: a league a long time too, and you know, and

371
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: also I think his experience in college football, uh, definitely benefits.

372
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: And because it's about where teachers and the ability to

373
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: teach and be creative. And you know, I mean Dan's

374
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: meeting yesterday, you know, he spent ten minutes talking about

375
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: notetaking something. It's just you know, when you're when you

376
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: have that level of experience, and if you see Joe

377
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: Philbin put in the run game installed, you can see

378
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: their experiences teachers and the adaptation of the generation that

379
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: we're coaching today as opposed to you know, the guys

380
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: we coach twenty twenty five years ago. Down with you

381
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: when you first joined the Cowboys. He talks about before

382
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: some of the off season regulations you really benefited might

383
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 1: need to steal Darren Rodgers and the over films. How

384
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: have you been able to navigate some of those peoples

385
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: the dact this off season, knowing how it's important meeting

386
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: and said, it kind of feels like you're one. So

387
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: how do you reset's health? You're not. I think today's

388
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: resources give you the opportunity to accomplish that. You can

389
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: do so much more away from the office. You know,

390
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to have a meeting all the time

391
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: where where you know that classroom, that quarterback classroom is

392
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: so sacred, the quarterback school. You know how it started

393
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: because I mean I was in the same format from

394
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, nineteen ninety three to probably twenty fifteen, and uh,

395
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: and that's changed. It's changed in the generation it's changed

396
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: with fall. College football is a big part of it,

397
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: just the way that they've had to dive into that,

398
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: you know, how they trained their how they trained their players,

399
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, because they have to. I think the college

400
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: football coach is doing an incredible job because they don't

401
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,239
Speaker 1: have the time to be with him, you know. As

402
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: far as the practice time and what they're able to

403
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: get done schematically and teach their players in that climate

404
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: is it's impressive. So so you're getting a different type

405
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: of player today as far as what he's been exposed

406
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: to as opposed to nineteen ninety three and you know

407
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: in the earlier airing like two thousand and six. So, um,

408
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: I think the ability for you know, Kellen and Doug

409
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: to communicate and um, you know, so it's it's constant,

410
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, as far as you know what goes on

411
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: virtually and just the resources of you know, how much

412
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: films available. I mean, you're watching the same film that

413
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: we watch, um, you know, because it was available, you know,

414
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: and that wasn't the case you know, fifteen twenty years ago.

415
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: The full workload ahead for Dak. How about the very

416
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: offensive line in particular Ti Rand, Dak and Lyle with

417
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: what's the workload playing for them? This can um I

418
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: mean once again there's workload, uh stress. I don't really

419
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: feel it's gonna be a you know, a factor because

420
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: of the way the practices are, uh you know, to

421
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: build up and so forth. So I guess the answer

422
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: question just to you know, to take all the reps

423
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: of the ones and because you know, we have to

424
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: get our ones ready to play. But we also we

425
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: have a lot of competition going on and that's you know,

426
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: that's something I'm sure we'll be talking a lot about

427
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: because this is this is a very competitive roster. So

428
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: the development of our young players is always at the

429
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: forefront of my thinking. It's the forefront of everything we do,

430
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: from scheduling and so forth, and it's definitely heightened because

431
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: of the competition that we have. All right, thank you,
