But you know, these guys 24 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: have been you know, very urged by continuing on work 25 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: that doesn't detract at all from what we're doing a community, 26 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: from the action we're taking as a team for how 27 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: we're staying organized within the social justice groups we have 28 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: in the two teams program. So we're just making sure 29 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: that we a lot of time within the day that 30 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: we had that as a team to work going forward. 31 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: Christ how you doing you two minute offense today? Some 32 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: good things, some sloppy things overall this camp. How do 33 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: you feel Jones is running your too minute offense? I 34 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: think the units making a lot of improvement, you know 35 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: two minute, four minute situation of things that teams have 36 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: to really good a feel for each other. Look for 37 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: me and Jason has head coaching coordinator, me and Patent 38 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: for minute situations the offense with the you know the 39 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: person I the play calling and then understanding each unique situation. 40 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: You know, this is why our practicing on a daily 41 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: basis and make sure we iron out any kings. But 42 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: I think the progress has been very good. Um, please 43 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: the way it's going, thank you. Hey, Joe Martine's out 44 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: there today. Any update on him, you know, he's just 45 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 1: checked with the trainers on something. We have more updates later. 46 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: We'll let you guys know. Okay. And then Matt parent 47 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: uh saw him, you know, getting some work with the ones. 48 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: What is he shown to you know, compress you. Yeah, 49 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: he's a guy that comes to work every day to 50 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: lunch palet. He's improved going along. So you know, as 51 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: we said earlier in camp, we're gonna move our line around. 52 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna work out of different spots to make sure 53 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: you build in versatility at position depth. And you know, 54 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: we kind of moved some guys around today for that purpose. 55 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: And these guys improved every day. When when Sterling makes 56 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: that great play and tosses the ball and you you 57 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: kind of ask him to just clean it up, you 58 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: know how important or moment moments like that that just 59 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: you know, no matter who the player is, that you're 60 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: just kind of reinforcing the way that you need things 61 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: to go. Look, every practice is a mini game. You 62 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: have to learned from the experiences going forward. He made 63 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: a tremendous plan to play and then he threw a ball. 64 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: It's a fifteen yard penalty. We're gonna have the ball 65 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: to ten yard line, puts the twenty five yard line. 66 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: That's not something we're or except from any player on 67 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: the team. So it's a learning lesson that he's got taken. 68 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: Go forward. It's important that everybody else learns from that 69 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: same lesson that went on to repeat the mistake. And 70 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: who was the player you just met on the field late? 71 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: Was that Williams or Russell? Who was that? It was neither? 72 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: It was neither those guys, pat Um, but it was 73 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: no one. I'm gonna give by name right now those 74 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 1: guys you named, all right, thanks Lombardo, Hey, Joe, Hey, 75 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: what's up? Man? Hey? Um? You said that you're gonna 76 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: have extensive conversations with your team later today moving forward. 77 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: Does that mean that there's the possibility that the scrimmage 78 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: tomorrow night might not be played? And know some teams 79 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: around the League of canceled that. Just curious where you 80 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: guys stand with yours. You know, I can't really live 81 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: in the hypotheticals right now, Matt. Right now we're playing 82 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: to having scrimmage tomorrow. We'll continue the conversations our team 83 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 1: later on and we'll see where that takes us. Thanks Joe, 84 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: you mentioned ownership was involved in these conversations. What kind 85 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: of a role as John played in this? Well, John 86 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: has been active since the spring in terms of voicing 87 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: to the players, you know, his support. But I really 88 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: let John speak for himself on that. UM. I think 89 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: John has been a key figure obviously him and Steve, 90 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: but you know, starting back in the spring, they've been 91 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: active in present and meetings we've had, whether it's through 92 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: Zoom and now as we meet in person with them, 93 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: you know, gives us an opportunity. I'll get together. And 94 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: then how are you going to split up the roster 95 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: tomorrow for the scoolages? Is it gonna be offense versus defense? 96 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: Or are you gonna kind of mix them up? You 97 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 1: know what it will be. We'll have the special teams 98 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: will be full offense units, full defensive units, but otherwise 99 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: the offense first defense. We explored the possibility of splitting 100 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: the team into two teams. We felt it was really 101 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: best for the offense and defensive coaches and units to 102 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: get used to the communication that they're gonna have on 103 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: the sideline together to keep all the offense and defense together. 104 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: We can still accomplish that we want to, but we're 105 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: gonna go one sideline offense, one sideline defense. Thank you, Patty, 106 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: Hi Joe, how are you doing good? Patty? I know 107 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: toight doing well? Thanks something you have the skimmidge tomorrow? 108 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: Is it going to be scripted or is it gonna 109 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: be kind of a free for all? Pat's gonna call 110 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: his side um or how's it going to work exactly 111 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: as far as you know what you wanted to see 112 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: and how it's gonna be for Mattie. You know, Patty, 113 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: there's certain scenarios I want to make sure that we 114 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: build in. At some point, I may want to see 115 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: it two minutes and a half too minute game afour 116 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: minute situation. I may want to see some little red 117 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: zone work if that doesn't come up, So I have 118 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: the freedom kind of flex it and say spots to 119 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: all a certain point. But I'm gonna start with the 120 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: mentality we're gonna go out there and play ball. So 121 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: we want to simulate this game as much as we can. 122 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: Let it be natural, you know, start with a kickoff, 123 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: kicker turn wherever the ball lies, we're gonna play it 124 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: from there, and the offense first defense, and you go 125 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: three and out, we punt, we bring out the Two's 126 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: all right, they're going to play, Thanks coach. Last question here, 127 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: Pat Leonard, Hey, Joe, I know you said you're still 128 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: waiting to hear from the trainers, but is can you 129 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: say that is there a chance to Martinez issue is serious? 130 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: Or are you not too concerned? I mean, at this 131 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: moment right here, Pat, I'm not overly concerned. Um, you 132 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: just kind of check it on something right now. We'll 133 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: let you know information as we go
