1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,360 Speaker 1: It's not. 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 2: Whoever, it's not no, I missed you yesterday. 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, people, and I don't there rehabbing. 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 2: Everybody else will be ready to go. You guys making 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 2: any moves today or saving all that for a while tomorrow. 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: What are you standing on your tight end? Where do 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 2: you stand on your tight end? 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: Rum? Like? Relative to how do you feel about it? 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: I think they've all all done a nice job, working hard, 10 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: getting better. 11 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 2: Good group. 12 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: It would seem from the outside that there's some tough 13 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: decisions that are gonna have to be made at that 14 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: once particularly well I said, there's tough decisions for every 15 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: for every position on a team. That's why this time 16 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: of the years is tough a lot of tough decisions 17 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: to make, and you can only keep a certain amount. 18 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 3: This is the practice bad rules and the high rules 19 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: help at this time that when you're a piece of 20 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 3: things together. 21 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: Well the number is isn't advance. But you never know 22 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: what's going to happen. 23 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: If you release a guy, could they get claimed, they 24 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: not want to come like there's you know, those are 25 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: all conversations we're here having the next day. 26 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: So you you try to strategize. But it's similar to 27 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: the drafts. 28 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: You don't know who could get claimed, who couldn't get claimed, 29 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: And not a lot of people do get claimed. I 30 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: think there's roughly eleven eighty five that get released. Take 31 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: a look at how many people have gotten claimed over 32 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: the last four or five years at each position. But 33 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: it only takes one team to to like the guy. 34 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 3: Is that factor when you're a sign between two guys like, 35 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: all right, they're kind of equal, but this guy might 36 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 3: be one if they'd be claimed. 37 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: Is that part of the consideration I would say for us, 38 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: for the coaching staff is more this is who we, 39 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, believe earned the roster spot. And then there's 40 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: other discussions that can be had because I'd say, you know, 41 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: Joe and his staff know the entire league. They're looking 42 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: at the entire league. They've been, you know, studying tape 43 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: of all the preseason games. Where the coaches are more 44 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: locked down on our team and schemes and improving guys 45 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: fundamentals and things like that. 46 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,639 Speaker 2: Through the years. 47 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 4: I'm sure things change for your assistant coach here, think 48 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 4: your coordinator, your. 49 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 2: Head coach, and how evolved you are. 50 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 4: I'm just curious for you guys. This year you put 51 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 4: so much work into the roster, from going all the 52 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 4: way back to evaluating last year. 53 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: Where you're sitting now, is it very close to what 54 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: you anticipated? 55 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 4: Do you play those games of okay, here's where what 56 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 4: we think it'll be in. 57 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: August to late August? 58 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 4: Then do you compare it contrast that way? Is that 59 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 4: kind of how you go through it? You know? 60 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: Are we just we come out here, we practice, We 61 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: evaluate the tape of the players practicing and their performances 62 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: in the preseason, how they are in the meeting rooms, 63 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: how they're picking up the system, what kind of teammate 64 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: they are, and that's where where our focus is. And 65 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: then trying to build the best team we can. And 66 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: that's how we talk as coaching staff. 67 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 2: And you're you're sorry, sorry. 68 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 5: Kind of. 69 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 6: In year four, do you guys feel like I don't 70 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 6: know if this is true, but when you take over 71 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 6: your year one of a regime, maybe you're more active 72 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 6: on the waiver claim adding people from other teams. Where now, 73 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 6: when you've had a handful of your own free decides 74 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 6: and handful of your drafts, the priorities now let's keep 75 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 6: our guys in house when it comes to. 76 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: That practice fund. 77 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say every year is different, the conversations you 78 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: have and the people that are out there. Again, our 79 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: personnel staff has been very busy of watching other players 80 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: on other teams as we're you know, preparing for our 81 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: practices and our fundamentals like I till Dan, So every 82 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: year is different. 83 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 2: You know, you like a lot of the guys. 84 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: You wish you could keep all of them that are 85 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: out here working hard and put everything into it. But 86 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: again the other part of it is you're always trying 87 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: to improve your football team. So if there's people out 88 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: there that personnel department is looking at and they'll you know, 89 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: the next couple of days that might give them to 90 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: a coach and take a look at and come together 91 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: have a conversation. And that happens every year. I wouldn't 92 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: say it's any different from one to two, to three 93 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: to four or however many years you do it. Every years, 94 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: it's new year, and all you're trying to do is 95 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: put the best team out there. 96 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: Your your week one opponent just solved their biggest problem. 97 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: I hope you saw Perry.

You know, we're just trying to give 128 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: some more roles out for players to be able to 129 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: showcase what they can do.
