1 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: In Coach Garrett's press conference, and it's a presentation. It's 2 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: not to be videotaped or audio recorded. All right, Hold on, guys, 3 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: when you had the officials come into camp, can you 4 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: talk about how you incorporate them in and what you 5 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: the interaction they have with the players. And it's a 6 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: beneficial when it comes to close after a game where 7 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: you have some real time examples versus just the tape 8 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: thus to gather dash. Yeah, I'll try to attack all 9 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: of that. The first thing is they'll be here for 10 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 1: three days and they'll be involved in all of our practices. 11 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: One of the things that we'll try to emphasize to 12 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: our players, coaches, and to the officials themselves is communication 13 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: is critical. What we need to do as as players 14 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: and coaches is try to gain a greater understanding of 15 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: how they're going to call the game. And the only 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: way to do that is to talk to each other. 17 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: So we're going to ask them to throw flags. We're 18 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: going to ask them to grab players and coaches as 19 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: the practice goes on and says I would have called that, 20 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: we're looking for that on this particular play. If you 21 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: do that, I'm going to throw the flag. You know, 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: whatever the examples are. So we're gonna try to have 23 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: great dialogue here over the next seventy two hours. They 24 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: will meet with our entire team and dual presentation. Afterwards, 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 1: we'll have a question and answer. We like to commit 26 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: prepared for those situations some of the new things. We 27 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: want to make sure that you know, we get our 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: questions answered. But they do a great job presenting what's new, 29 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: what the points of emphasis are, and it's a great 30 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: learning experience. We'll spend some extra time as a coaching 31 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: staff with them as well over the course of the 32 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: three days and again just to try to gain further 33 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: understanding to see how we can coach the team better. 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: It's the biggest thing after watching and need to be 35 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: happy to watch tape, but the Hall of Fame game 36 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: where they're specific examples in there when you went, okay, 37 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: we need some clarification, Well, we'll certainly talk about those players. 38 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: We have not sat down formally watched watch that. You know, 39 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: I think we've seen the highlights of those plays, but 40 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: we'll visit with those guys about it. That's obviously the 41 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: hot button issue. How that play or excuse me, how 42 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: that rule is going to be officiated and so we'll see, 43 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: we'll see. I think we'll get more information as we go. 44 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 1: And again I think communication is critical. What they're looking for, 45 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: why they called it if in hindsight at the league 46 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: level they say, Hey, that's how we're going to call it, 47 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: or that's not exactly how we want to call it. 48 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: Hopefully everybody is open and honest with each other on 49 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: both sides as to how we're learning the stuff. Again, 50 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: I keep going back to this, but it's all very 51 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: well intended. It's good for the game to make sure 52 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: our players can be as healthy and safe as possible, 53 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: and so it's all in everyone's best interests, but there 54 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: are some details to work out. Does every get contentious 55 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: with those guys and players? And again, I think the 56 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: biggest thing you try to you try to get out 57 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: of it is you try to learn from each other 58 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: and you try to have open on is dialogue with 59 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: each other. And it's at its best when there are 60 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: plays that they put up there and you'll look at it. 61 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: If you have questions about it, we can really look 62 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: and sometimes just say, hey, compare that play to that play. 63 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: What's the difference. What do you guys seeing there, so 64 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: again you want to take the emotion out of it 65 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: any play that you had in your past. You know, 66 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: the idea, there's let it go good, better and different. 67 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: You know, we're trying to learn from this moment forward 68 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: and typically they just do a great job or their 69 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: presentations and do a great job allowing that dialogue to 70 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: be created. You rather consistency or communication. I've been dealing 71 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: with the officials. You really want both. Obviously. You know, 72 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: one of the things that they talk about the league 73 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: level all the time is a strike zone, and you 74 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: want to make sure they're calling the same play the 75 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: same way throughout the game. And I think at the 76 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: league level and probably something that we try to emphasize 77 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: as coaches is you like that play to be called 78 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: the same way from week to week, from crew to crewe. 79 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: And we've all had those experiences where boy that wasn't called. 80 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: The next week it is called, and you know, hey, 81 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: what's the expectation here? And sometimes officials will say, hey, 82 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: we had nothing to do with that play. But I 83 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: think when you pull back on a macro level, everybody 84 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: has something to do with every play, and so the 85 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: idea is we should have a reasonable expectation as players 86 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: and coaches that the game is going to be officiated 87 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: in a certain way. And that doesn't mean every play 88 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: is going to be officiated exactly the same, but the parameters. 89 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: We want to make those parameters as consistent as possible. 90 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: And then, like you said, the communication is critical. The 91 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: whys the reason we didn't call that was this. The 92 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: reason we did was this, And I think if you 93 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: just keep going back and forth, that dialogue is critical 94 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: for everybody. What have you thought of Dorin's Armstrong's camp 95 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: so far? If he's doing a nice job. He made 96 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: a good impression on us in the spring and he's 97 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: carried that into training camp. He's a young player with 98 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: a lot to learn really about about everything, but he 99 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: goes about it the right way. He comes off the ball, 100 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: he gets after the runner, he gets after the quarterback. 101 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: He doesn't shy away when he's going against some more 102 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: veteran players who get after him a little bit. He 103 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: keeps coming. So a lot to like so far. Have 104 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: you moved him around because of necessity or the fact 105 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: that you'd just like to see him play the left 106 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: and he played the right. Yeah, you know, we feel 107 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: like he has the both. Obviously, the more versatile you 108 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: are on the defensive line, the better it is for everybody. 109 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: You do want to find a home for him. But 110 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: if a guy does have some ability to handle a 111 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: couple of different spots and has the interest in doing it, 112 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: he's excited about it, I think that's that's a really 113 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: good thing for your team. It's good for the player. 114 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: What players will you keep out this afternoon or a limit, 115 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: and any players who you'll have coming back in. We 116 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: anticipate most of the team practicing, you know, the guys 117 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: who have been out, you know, the malik uh Collins 118 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: is and and those guys will not practice. But you know, 119 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: we're trying to get the other guys back into practice, 120 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: even on a limited basis. So I don't think we'll 121 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: see much of Deonte Thompson today. Um won't see Covington today, 122 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: But but the other guys, we're trying to get him 123 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: out there and have them involved at least for I'm 124 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: portion of the practice as well, doing more than Yeah, 125 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: we way anticipate Sean doing something today. Yes, you have 126 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: the goal out of the day came talking about the 127 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: excitement they showed it and walking through and they're gonna 128 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: take it to the field. Yeah, we're gonna have an 129 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: eight play set a goal line today and it's really 130 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: the only time we'll have our whole team practice like 131 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: you're actually playing a game where we tackle the runner 132 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: and uh, you know we've done that in the past. 133 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: We'll have a short yardage period that's the same temple 134 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: we've been working at, but the goal line period. Four 135 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: sets with the one, four plays with the ones, four 136 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: plays with the twos. We'll give them a chance to 137 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: come off the ball and try to make a touchdown 138 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: and give the other guys a chance to stop them. 139 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we talk about it all the 140 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: time as a coaching staff that there aren't that many 141 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: goal line plays in the NFL. If you pull back 142 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: at the end of your season, there typically aren't that 143 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: many ten, twelve, fifteen, certainly no more than twenty um. 144 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: But those plays are critical that they come up, that 145 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: they tend to tip the balance in a ball game, 146 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: whether you can you can score down there, or you 147 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: can you can stop a score. And so we'll work 148 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: on it. We want to be great at it on 149 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: both sides. And today I'll be the first crack at it. 150 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: What do you, what do you consider goal line Jason, like, 151 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: from the one or how far back? I mean, yeah, 152 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: there's different definitions of it. You know, inside the two 153 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: certainly is goal line, but the other piece to this 154 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: is goal line personnel. If you will, three tight ends, 155 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: two backs on offense and then have your look on 156 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: defense with layout. A year ago he made the transition 157 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: over and tackle where is he? And I realize you're 158 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: gonna say everything. What are the couple areas where you 159 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: can say he's gotten better at this from where he 160 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: was a year or ago. I think the overarching thing 161 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: is just maturity that comes with experience, and again I 162 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: think that will trickle down to a lot of what 163 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: he does once the play starts. But I just think 164 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: he's he's getting more experienced and I think he's understanding 165 00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: how to play better. And that's an overarching broad statement. 166 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: But you know, emotionally, he's a very physical guy. He 167 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: wants to be a physical player, and that's what we 168 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: like about him. That's lining one with him. But you 169 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: have to channel that. You have to make sure that 170 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: you can be physical and still play with a good 171 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: sound technique, and you don't allow the guy who's rushing 172 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: against you, to use that physicalness and that aggressiveness against you. 173 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: I think he learned that over the course of the year. 174 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: Last year, I think he had some good experiences and 175 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: you saw him grow. I do think, you know, having 176 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: Paul Alexander and Mark Colombo working with him over the 177 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: offseason and here in training camp, I think he's he's 178 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: really growing as a protector. I think he's becoming more 179 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: technically sound and then and then throughout I mean just 180 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: whether it's footwork or hand placement as a run blocker 181 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: or as a pass protector. I just think he's continuing 182 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: to refine those things. But he's matured a lot since 183 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: we've gotten him, and there's so much to like about 184 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: him at the outset, but he's getting better and better 185 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: every day. You're a weekend to camp. Jason and some 186 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: of the physicians I made misspeak. He trying to throw 187 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: a blank around them, and nobody's really differentiating themselves certain 188 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: spots of this time, the young guys, especially if you 189 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: find that a week in the camp, all of a 190 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: sudden somebody starts to pointing forward a little bit, another 191 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: guy's fall off as at that time when yeah, you know, 192 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: the more you're out here. You know, the more you 193 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: find out about guys, the more they're in competitive situation, 194 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: the more you find out about guys. Probably not unlike 195 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: not unlike baseball. If you get five hundred at bats 196 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: for the course of a season, you're going to get 197 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: exposed one way or another. It's an opportunity to show 198 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: how good you are. But you'll also probably see some 199 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: of your weaknesses as you go. And H And the 200 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: biggest thing we try to emphasize with the young guys 201 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: is to is to let yesterday go. You have to 202 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: learn from the experiences and build on the good ones 203 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, somehow, some way correct some 204 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: of the things you don't do well. But emotionally you 205 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: have to let the baggage down. You got to come 206 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: each day with a fresh attitude and a fresh spirit 207 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: and a bouncing your step. And the NFL is hard. 208 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: The guy cross from you is good and he's gonna win, 209 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: and so how do you respond to that? And the 210 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: more veteran players are able to respond to the adversities 211 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: play after play, game after game, and that's why they're 212 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: still here. And young guys need to learn that. And H. 213 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: Typically the guys who stick around have a better understanding 214 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: early of that concept, and I think our guys are 215 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: doing a good job hanging in there right now. Sort 216 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: of a coaching philosophy question about making practices more competitive. 217 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: You keep score and a lot of the compete drills 218 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: and so forth, what's your philosophy on that as far 219 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: as building the enthusiasm on the team by by doing that. Well, 220 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: there's so much you try to accomplish each day in practice, 221 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of individual stuff that we'll do 222 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: with the outset of practice where you're really kind of 223 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: working with the guy one on one and you're trying 224 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: to refine his technique or his skills for what the 225 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: demands are of his position. And then you do group 226 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: stuff together, you know, where quarterbacks are throwing to receivers 227 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: or linebackers or dbs together, where you're where you're putting 228 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: some scheme stuff together. And then certainly some eleven on 229 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: eleven stuff where you're just where you're just running plays 230 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: and again you're trying to implement your system, you're trying 231 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: to get the guys to play with the right technique. 232 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: But we really believe that every part of practice needs 233 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: to be competitive. And even more in the early part 234 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: of the practice, the non competitive periods. If you will, 235 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: you want them to compete. That's line one in this league. 236 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: If you're not a great competitor, you're not going to 237 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: be here very long. And then we try to create 238 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: situations throughout practice, whether it's a one on one pass 239 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: rush or one on one routes that are competitive where 240 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: you see how guys respond. And then certainly the situational 241 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: work we do as a team. Again, it's competitive. That's 242 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: how the game is played. So if you just roll 243 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: the ball out there and say we're gonna scrimmage every day, 244 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure we're getting better. So there's a 245 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: progression here. You're trying to give them enough stuff, enough tools, 246 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: enough ammunition to get themselves right individually and schematically. But 247 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: then at some point we're gonna play and we're gonna 248 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: try to implement these things, and it just a part 249 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: of our philosophy and I think guys grow as a 250 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: result of it. The end of practice, So let's go 251 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: a few of these practices we've seen. You have your 252 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: guys run sprints. It seems like there's maybe it's just 253 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: just noticing it more an hour or whatever. But have 254 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: you more detail or more attention on post practice conditioning 255 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: doing those sort of things than you have in the pants. 256 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: We've done this in the past, we haven't done it 257 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: in recent years. It's just something that we looked at 258 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: our team last year we just felt like we wanted 259 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: to implement. And our team does such a great job 260 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: in the offseason program. We have great attendance, everybody's there, 261 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: everybody's doing things the right way, but then when you 262 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: get into the football part of it, sometimes that goes away. 263 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: And for years we've had players work on the side 264 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: afterwards by themselves running, and we just felt with this 265 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: young football team, we felt like it was the right 266 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: thing to do. So typically you've seen us throughout the 267 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: spring and throughout training camp. It's not every day, but 268 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: we'll condition our guys and typically it's the end of practice. 269 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: It's not a sprint, it's more striders. We have a 270 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: variety of ones that we use, and we just feel 271 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: like that's going to give us a good conditioning base 272 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: to play better football as we go forward. You mentioned 273 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: base off last year. What specifically about last year made 274 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: you say let's do this again again. A combination of 275 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: having a younger team and wanting to instill that in them. 276 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: Just uh, you want to be a team that's fast, 277 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: that can sustain, that plays great in the fourth quarter. 278 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: Those are always our objectives and we feel like this 279 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: can help us in those areas. Thank you, Okay, great 280 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: to see you guys.
