1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: What's happening. Who's up first? We just startched fire. 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 2: How does it feel to be back here in New 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 2: England and seeing all these faces not just here? 4 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's been good. It's been really good. Good staff, 5 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 3: great guys. Just started with the players yesterday and that's 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 3: been good, great attendance so far. You know, the whole 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 3: thing leading up to this period is a dead period, 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,479 Speaker 3: so we really this is the first time we've actually 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 3: had a chance to really be with the players and 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 3: that's really exciting because that's you know, what it's all about, 11 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 3: the coaching end of it. 12 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: So it's been good. Good. How good could Mat Kilbs be? 13 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 3: You know, I think Tom, I think the big thing 14 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 3: for us right now is everybody's starting with a clean slate. 15 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 3: You know, I think that every year is different. I 16 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 3: think this year is no different than any other year 17 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 3: relative to each year in the NFL is different, right, 18 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 3: So what you did in the past, or whether it's 19 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 3: a player or a coach or anybody in the organization, 20 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 3: really has no bearing on what happens moving forward. So 21 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 3: like you know, we just started yesterday and we're looking 22 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 3: forward to having a good face one and then a 23 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 3: good phase two. 24 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: And then a good phase three. And that's kind of 25 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 1: what it's all about. So I was healing. 26 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 4: What what about the time you spent with him in Alabama, 27 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 4: even though you didn't direct with coaching that whole transition period. 28 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: What did you learn about him? What did he learn 29 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: about you? 30 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 4: Yeah? 31 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 3: I mean I think that the time in Alabama was 32 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 3: when I first got hired. He was there getting ready 33 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 3: for the draft. I basically met him. He talked to 34 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 3: me about the generalities of the offense, and you know, 35 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 3: that was about it. You know, I think this this 36 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 3: time period here, you know, starting yesterday, this is the 37 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 3: time where you really get to. 38 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: Know all the players. 39 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: You know, So relative to when I was there two 40 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: years ago, he was getting ready for the draft, I 41 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 3: met him and I was about it on that. 42 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 5: So but when it came to you coming back here, 43 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 5: did coaching Mac play into your decision at all? 44 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: Oh? 45 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: No, I think I think the big thing about coming 46 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 3: back here was to come back and work for great organization, 47 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 3: great owner, great head coach. I'm from here, my family 48 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: lives here, my wife went to Boston College, very familiar 49 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 3: with the area. So you know, all of that played 50 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 3: into our decision as a family to come back here. 51 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: I think that was the big thing. It wasn't about 52 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: one person, it was about the whole, you know, the 53 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: whole package, so to speak. 54 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 5: Yep, are you happy to be back in the NFL 55 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 5: as opposed to college? 56 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: You know? 57 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 5: I do? 58 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 3: I love both, I really do. I've loved my experience. 59 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: I'm kind of fifty to fifty. I've been half my 60 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 3: career in the approximately, half in college and half in 61 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: the NFL. 62 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: I love both. 63 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 3: I really enjoyed being in the NFL, being around the 64 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 3: players like we started, Like I said I was starting yesterday. 65 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: Just being around these guys and the professionalism of this 66 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 3: organization and these players, this coaching staff. 67 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. 68 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: The process of the NFL is something I've always enjoyed. 69 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 3: And I'm just really, you know, I'm excited to be back. 70 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 5: How similar are things you walk in here for the 71 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 5: first time in a decade. 72 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: How similar are things compared to how they we're back then? Yeah? 73 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: I think it's like I said the time, I mean, 74 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 3: I think things change every year, right, This buildings different, 75 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: everything's different. You know, there's different staff members. You know 76 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 3: that was twelve years ago, you know, so this is 77 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: something that is I'm really excited about working with this staff, 78 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 3: working with these players. 79 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: Every years new, Every year's new. That's the way the 80 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: NFL set up. 81 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: You know, if you look at all the rules of 82 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 3: the NFL, whether it's free agency, the draft, the salary 83 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 3: cap rules, whatever it is, every year is a new year. 84 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: And that's what this is. 85 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 3: And so we're all starting with a clean slate, fresh start, 86 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: and it's really not anything about what's gone on in 87 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 3: the past. 88 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: It's more about moving forward. That's our theme. 89 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: That's one of our themes on offense is to is 90 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: to move forward, you know, That's what That's what we're doing. 91 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 4: Different different from the guy that was here twelve years 92 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 4: ago in a lot of ways. 93 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: I'm you know, I'm older, I'm probably i think when 94 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: I checked this morning, I'm probably twenty pounds overweight than 95 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 3: twelve years ago. 96 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: But no, I think you know, everybody, you know you 97 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: this is. 98 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 3: My this will be my thirty first year in coaching, 99 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: and so over time you learn a lot. You know, 100 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: you learn a lot from different people, different different players, 101 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 3: you coach, different. 102 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: Guys you work with. You learn a whole lot. 103 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 3: So I'm I'm I'm excited about the challenge of being here, 104 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: but also understanding that I really take pride in all 105 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 3: the things I've learned since I was here and Billy 106 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 3: Billy last year. 107 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 6: Last year, Mac at times did show emotions. You know, 108 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 6: you did a god upstad He was outward about it. 109 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 6: Where is your thought process as an officive coordinator on 110 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 6: your quarterback, no matter who it is, showing emotions or back. 111 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 3: I think it goes back to it. I really and 112 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 3: I'm I'm I'm telling you when I say this, yesterday 113 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: we started, uh, and it really is a clean slate. 114 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 3: You know, however you played, or however you coached, or 115 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 3: whatever you did in the past. You know, in the end, 116 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: it's all about what are we going to do starting yesterday. 117 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 3: You know, for two and a half months when I 118 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: got hired, we were in this office next door meeting 119 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: as an offensive staff, getting to know each other and 120 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 3: doing things like that. Now we get a chance to 121 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 3: work with the players. It's it's all brand new. Every 122 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 3: year is new. Football is a game of emotion at times, 123 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 3: that's just that's that's what football is. But at the 124 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 3: end of the day, this is a new year, this 125 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 3: is a new start, and we're we're excited about it. 126 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 5: But to get to get that new start, how much 127 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 5: have you spent trying to dissect what did happen last 128 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 5: year and how to move forward from that? 129 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: I think you always go back. 130 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: We've watched a lot of tape, not just last year, 131 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: not just two years ago. We've watched a lot of 132 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: college tape. We've watched a lot of you know, tape 133 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 3: from around the league over the last few years. You know, 134 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 3: we have access to a lot of different ways to 135 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 3: watch tape, and that's as coaches, that's one of our 136 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 3: main jobs is to learn from the film. So we've 137 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 3: we've watched a lot of tape, and we've gleaned a 138 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 3: lot from watching tape. And now it's time for us to, 139 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: you know, like I said, start working with the players 140 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: and see if we can, you know, keep moving forward 141 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 3: and have a really good offseason program. 142 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: What's the frame work of the twenty two three offense? 143 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: The framework of it? I mean they tweaked it a 144 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: built last year. It was obviously Josh's offense in your 145 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 2: offense for a long period of time, yep. Do you 146 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: have a framework in place or is it just kind 147 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: of like sketched? 148 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean there's a framework, and every year 149 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 3: there's a different framework. You know, Like when I was 150 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: answering the last question, you know, you go back and 151 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 3: you look at your experiences that you've had in different places, 152 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 3: different experiences that some of these guys on the staff 153 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 3: here have had, and you developed that framework. But at 154 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: the end of the day, it's really like it started yesterday, 155 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 3: and part of putting that framework together is working with 156 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 3: the players, and that's what we're doing. 157 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: We started yesterday. It's been good. 158 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 3: It's a three phase off season program, and you know, 159 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 3: we'll begin to like put all that together now and 160 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 3: then you know that leads into training camp. 161 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: So there is some stuff that might might right now 162 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: be in the framework, and you think that's not really something. 163 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: That yeah, I wouldn't like. 164 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 3: I think it would be crazy for me to stand 165 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 3: up here and tell you what we're doing offensively, So 166 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 3: I think I'll just stick with that previous answer. 167 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: Along those lines. You've had a lot of different experiences. 168 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 7: You coached the Shan Watson, you were in the college game, 169 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 7: which is different, I mean offensively, once we see you 170 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 7: on the practice field, how different is it going to 171 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 7: look from the offense that you either ran here or 172 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 7: in Houston. 173 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I again, I think it's all about 174 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: like this, this team, this offense.

You know, when I got into pro football. 196 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 3: You know, this was the first place I worked, and 197 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 3: I learned a lot. I learned more about football in 198 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 3: my first year here than I had learned in the 199 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: previous at that time, you know whatever, it was sixteen years. 200 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 3: So I am very appreciative of the opportunity. I take 201 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 3: a lot of pride and working here. I've said that 202 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 3: in the past. I take a lot of pride and 203 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 3: working for the New England Patriots, not only because I'm 204 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 3: from here, but because of what this organization means to me, and. 205 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: That's everybody in the organization. 206 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 3: There's a lot of people here that were here when 207 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: I was here before, and it's been great to reconnect 208 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 3: with them, and it's been great to work with this staff. 209 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: So I'm I'm thrilled to be here. Hi, Caen are 210 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: good for. 211 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 8: The players getting back to the offense for them, will 212 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 8: it be like having to learn a completely new offense 213 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 8: or will it be elements of it they might be 214 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 8: familiar with from being here perhaps two years ago. 215 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 3: I'd say that's probably a better question for them. I 216 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 3: think that we all, you know, like like I was 217 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 3: saying earlier, you know, over time, you've been in a 218 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 3: lot of different places. You have a lot of different 219 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: ways of doing things. Some of those things are things 220 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: that we've done here, but other things are new. So 221 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: you know, we'll we'll, we just started yesterday. It's a 222 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 3: clean slate. We we really yesterday just talked about like 223 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 3: some of the things we want to try to get 224 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: done in the spring, goal wise and things like that, 225 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: try to get to know each other. 226 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: We really haven't been around these guys, you know, because 227 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: of that dead period. 228 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 3: You can't really all you can do is say quick 229 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 3: hello to them in the cafeteria, in the weight room, whatever, 230 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: so you really can't down and chat with them. So 231 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 3: yesterday it was the first day to actually do that. 232 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 3: I think, like that's really what's important is getting to 233 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 3: know the guys you're coaching before you even start talking 234 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 3: about x's and o's. And that's kind of what this 235 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 3: period of time is right here, the last couple of days. 236 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: Bill specifically for MAC. 237 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 9: Do you have to be cognizant of the challenge I 238 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 9: might be associated with having three different coordinators, three different 239 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 9: play callers in three years, and maybe trying to mitigate 240 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 9: whatever those challenges are. 241 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 3: I think, like I think that goes for really every 242 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 3: player in there, you know, I really do. I think 243 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 3: you know, a lot of these guys have had different 244 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: coaches over the over their their careers, you know, whether 245 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 3: it's you know, quarterbacks or you know, the running backs, 246 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 3: wide receivers, tight ends, offensive line. So I think it's 247 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 3: more about them getting to know us, us getting to 248 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 3: know them, our styles, what we believe in, what we're 249 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 3: passionate about, within the framework of what Bill wants the 250 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 3: team to look like. So I think that that's kind 251 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 3: of what we started yesterday, and that's that's really what 252 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 3: we're working towards right now about. 253 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 4: The draft and the process of talent evaluation here since 254 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 4: you've come back and quite honestly, on Thursday, when that 255 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 4: rolls around your important into the draft. 256 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, we just look, we do our part as coaches. 257 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: I would say that's obviously a better question for Bill 258 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: and for Matt grow And you know, I don't Mattle. 259 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 3: I think he'll be in there later on, so you'll 260 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 3: you'll get a chance to ask him. That we we 261 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 3: evaluate players, you know, we we we give our opinion 262 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 3: and then you know, we we get back to what 263 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: our roles are on the staff.
