00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: You have an opening comments you want to serve with questions. Yeah, no, UM,

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: let's say I'll start with, uh, you know, on behalf

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: of our team an organization. First of all, I want

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: to send along our best wishes to UH coach of Rivera.

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: You know, Ron's um been a good friend and UM

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: certainly a person that's you know, had a great career

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: UM in the National Football League's a quality person player, coach,

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: and so I just want to send our best bushes

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: along to him, and you know, hope for a uh,

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: speedy and complete recovery and um, you know, hope that

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: he's hope that he's doing well. And UM, you know,

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: we're wrapping up the week here, UM with uh you know,

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: a day that we're starting to you know, put some

14
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: things together, UM, different down a distance situations. We've covered

15
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: most of the major kicking situations, UM, and obviously not

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, like in the game type plays.

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that, but just the general situations

18
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: that come up, normal situations that come up on offense,

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: defense and special teams, and uh, you know, I think

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: we're getting to the point here where we've we've hit

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: most of those and UM, review them again today and

22
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: then you know, next week we'll give us a good

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to let's say start practicing and and um, you

24
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: know hitting them the second, third times through type of things,

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: so that we're, um, you know, closer to where we

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: want to be in terms of understanding, um, not just

27
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: what we want to do, but how we want to

28
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: do it and what are some of the variables that

29
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: that can come up. So um, it's been a you know,

30
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: pretty like we've had a pretty pretty solid week of practice. Um,

31
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: three days of contact and you know, high speed practices

32
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: the other days, and um, you know we're really coming

33
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: into the you know, the next next week and a

34
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: half or so be really important weeks of camp in

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: the development and preparation of our team from overall standpoint,

36
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: and then you know the final week or ten days

37
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: obviously would be you know more focused on Miami. So um, yeah,

38
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: just keep keep taking a day by day here and

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 1: try to you know, try to strength some good days

40
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: together and you know, build our consistency and overall, um,

41
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: fundamentals of our team that we'll need to carry us,

42
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, through throughout the games this season. I'm going

43
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: to start with Tom Kern, followed by Phil Peering. Hey, Bill, Um,

44
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: I just have a question on scouting and the lack

45
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: of preseason games and the ability to as releases are

46
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: made around the league. How difficult does it make it

47
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: for your personnel staff pro personnel staff to the scout

48
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: guys and not know exactly what they've done over the

49
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: past however many months. Oh well, let's everybody's in the

50
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: same situation. They're all looking at the same information, so

51
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, those those the decisions you got to make.

52
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: So it's not an uncommon situation. There plenty of times

53
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: when players aren't able to participate, you know, in parts

54
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: of training camp. Sometimes they don't play in preseason games,

55
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: and um, you know, then their names on on the

56
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: wave of a wire at the fifty three cut at

57
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: the end of the year, So you know, you just

58
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: have to go on the information that you have. Um.

59
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: Usually that's a much smaller percentage than what obviously we'll

60
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: be dealing with this year. But that's, you know, that's

61
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: the situation. Good deal. And just one quick follow too.

62
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: We haven't seen a lot of justin Roy Wesser, Uh

63
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: this week, how's this progress been in terms of field goals?

64
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: And you know, assimilation into the pros. Everybody's making progress. Yeah,

65
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: everybody's making progress. Our next question Phil Perry, followed by

66
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: Doug Kay Hey, Bill, I'm I'm curious. We've asked you

67
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks and decision making and training camp practices before

68
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: and what an interception you know might mean. But I'm

69
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: wondering if this year, because it is different because you

70
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: guys don't have preseason games, if you look at those

71
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: types of plays any differently when you see an interception happen,

72
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: how okay? Is that in your mind based on knowing

73
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: that quarterbacks are trying to figure out what they can

74
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: and can't do maybe at this point in time. And

75
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: does that change at all given that the changes in

76
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: this season? Yeah, well, I think I don't think over

77
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: evaluating one individual play for any player at any position

78
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: is you know, usually a good evaluation tool. All players

79
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: have good plays out there, All players have bad plays,

80
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: as do the coaches. So I think you look at

81
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: the body of work there's we're running, you know, hundreds

82
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: of plays, and you know it's the composite of all

83
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: of that. I don't I don't think it's one one

84
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: play by anybody that of course, good plays are good

85
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: and plays that aren't so good aren't so good, but

86
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: we all have those. I think it really comes down

87
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: to the consistency and the overall performance of players, and

88
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: I would say the progression and the track that they're

89
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: on improving, staying about the same, or you know, possibly declining.

90
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: I would say, we don't see a lot of declining

91
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: because guys are working out there every day and they're

92
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: generally getting better. But sometimes maybe it's the rate of

93
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: provement um and the overall consistency. Next question, they're kired

94
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: following Jim and Brian. Good morning. They're going back to

95
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: I think it was two thousand and six or two

96
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: thousand and seven when we used to see Brian on

97
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: the sideline, you know, helping out holding a clipboard. How

98
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: cool is it now to kind of have that come

99
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: full circle and have him on the staff as a

100
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: position coach. Yeah, well they've you know, well, Steven and

101
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: Brian have grown up a lot um and they've they've

102
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: come a long way, you know, especially when I've had

103
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: a chance to see him, you know, their whole lives.

104
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: But they've been around a lot of football, They've seen

105
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: a lot of football. Um, they've seen things done. Um,

106
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, from a different perspective than other people. But UM,

107
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: in the end, I don't know anybody that knows our

108
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: football program better than Steven, who's you know, been in

109
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. But Brian as well, who you know,

110
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: just live their whole life UM with this program. So

111
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: all the things that we do for all the different

112
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: reasons and how it all ties together and so forth.

113
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: They have a very good understanding of, you know, all

114
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: the things that are UM involved and how it all

115
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: is interwoven. UM. And that's valuable to me because they

116
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: have a perspective of that that um, you know, we look,

117
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: we have a lot of good coaches on our staff.

118
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that those guys are you know, very

119
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: very good coaches, are very proficient and then then they

120
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: do a great job. But it's a little different to

121
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: see it from the perspective that you know, Brian has

122
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: seen it from or or Steve. So they all helped,

123
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: They're all valuable, and you know, it's I'm glad we

124
00:07:52,840 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: haven't thanks. Next question Jimmy Bryan follow by Zach cons Morning, coach,

125
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: just ask you about the progress of a couple of

126
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: second year offensive linemen that didn't get kind of to

127
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: play last year and Yelder and Yahni and what you've

128
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: seen from them in camp so far. Yeah, I think overall,

129
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: Jim our our second year players have in general, you know,

130
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: taken a good step. Those they're they're all way ahead

131
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: of where they were last year. Uh, specifically on the

132
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: offensive line. Um. You know, Yahny is again a guy

133
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: who hasn't played a lot of football just his background

134
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: and and so forth, so you know, he's learned an

135
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: awful lot. He's he's a very smart kid, and he's

136
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: got good, good physical talent. Uh. He's strong, he's explosive,

137
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: he can run well. Um, he can do you know,

138
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: do a lot of different things. It's really about refinement

139
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: and technique and anticipation and you know things like that.

140
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: And he's taken a big jump there. And uh you know,

141
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: Yahnee uh obviously missed the whole year last year, even

142
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: miss more time than than uh Frohold did. But he's

143
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: a guy that you know, has a lot of experience

144
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: playing the position that he's played in college. And again

145
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,119
Speaker 1: it's really for him more of getting back into playing

146
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: and being consistent and his footwork and hand punch and

147
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: technique and balance and and things like that, you know,

148
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: trained in the weight room and um, you know, conditioning

149
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: and so forth. Are you know, they're great to put

150
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: a player in position to compete in practice, but from

151
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: a football standpoint, especially in the offensive line, you know,

152
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: working against other bodies and um, having your balance, being

153
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: able to you know, have that hand to hand close

154
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: quarters contact is there's just no substitute for that. So

155
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: we've had you know, three days in pads and you know,

156
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: those guys need a lot of wor work on that.

157
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: And uh, we're you know, getting better, making progress, but

158
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: we got a long way to go. Our next question

159
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: Zach Cox, followed by Henry McCann, Hey, Bill, what kind

160
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: of growth have you seen from Gunner since you guys

161
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: first got him in here last spring. Yeah, Gunner's improved tremendously.

162
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: Um again, both physically and from a football standpoint. Um,

163
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: he's a smart kid. He works extremely hard, he's tough,

164
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: he's just very very competitive and you know he's to

165
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: learn how to do a lot of different things for us,

166
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: UM and he continues to work on things that will

167
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: expand his opportunities and so it'll be interesting and to

168
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: watch him take advantage or try to take advantage of

169
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: those opportunities, and you know, watch him play and see

170
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: all that's coming together. But his you know, overall background

171
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: knowledge understand and you know, being a professional athlete, UM training,

172
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: some of his fundamental athletic skills have UM he's refined

173
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: those quite a bit, and he's much much, much further

174
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: ahead of from where he was last year, similar to

175
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: other second year players that we just talked about, but

176
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: he's certainly in that that group. Next question, Henry mckinnethal,

177
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: they've been going, Hey Bill, UM, So you know now

178
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: that you guys have been a few days into UM practices,

179
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: I wonder, um, you know, with with Tom Brady having

180
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: been around for you know, two decades, whether it's it's

181
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: it's ever strange to not have him around this year.

182
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: I know, I don't know, maybe being in person in

183
00:11:53,960 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: the facility, whether you ever, whether that ever comes to mind. Yeah,

184
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: Well we've had you know, a lot of great, great players,

185
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: UM over the course of that time, and you know,

186
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: you could have the same conversation about all of them.

187
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: Teddy Bruski, Rodney Harrison, ty Law, UM, you know, Logan Mankins,

188
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: Rob and let me just go right down the line. UM.

189
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's professional football, it's a National

190
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: Football League. Every team has changes every year. We have them,

191
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: so does everybody else. And think right now, everybody's you know,

192
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: focused on this year. UM, we're looking ahead. We're not

193
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: looking backwards at at anything. We're trying to look ahead

194
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: and look at you know, what our opportunities, challenges and

195
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: and um that we have coming forward this season in

196
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: two and twenty seasons. So that's really where our focus is.

197
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: Next question, Ben Vallan, followed by Mike Tierney. Good morning, Bill. UM,

198
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: the NFL released the travel guidelines the other day for

199
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: regular season road games, and I'm just curious, UM, do

200
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: you expect it to greatly affect how you guys do

201
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: business on the road And are you able to do

202
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: any sort of dry run about how road trips are

203
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: going to go since there's no preseason right so the UM. Yeah,

204
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: So you know, we have people in an organization that

205
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: you know, that's really what they focus on, and UM,

206
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: so I work with them in the terms of the

207
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: coordination of that. UM. And there were some travel uh,

208
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: there were some travel guides earlier that as you said,

209
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: we're let's call it refined or modified that we got recently,

210
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: and so, UM, you know, I'm kind of leaving it

211
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: with them to kind of go through those and then

212
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: we'll have a meeting in the near future to talk

213
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: about the changes and how they've how that would affect us. UM.

214
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: We've talked about how we're gonna try to do things,

215
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: and certainly we have to make sure that they're all

216
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: within the protocols that the League has issued UM and

217
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: so if they're not, then we can, you know, talk

218
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: about what changes we need to make. It's my understanding

219
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: I think that we're pretty close on that that all

220
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: the things that we would want to do we'll be

221
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: able to do. But there may be one or two

222
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: things there that we have to you know, do a

223
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: little bit differently. UM. Well, obviously there are things we

224
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: have to differently, but things that we had planned on

225
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: doing that UM, you know, we might have to modify.

226
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: So my sense on that is we're pretty close. UM.

227
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: Are there some eyes to dot and tease to cross.

228
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sure there are. I know there are, and

229
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: we'll you know, work on that. We're you know, four

230
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: weeks away from UM our first away game, so it's

231
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: it's coming up. But um, I think that we're pretty

232
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: well organized on that and and we've talked about, you know, things,

233
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: we have options on which way would be better to

234
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: do it, things that we haven't done before, and so

235
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see how that works. There may

236
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: be some trial and error in that, or maybe we'll

237
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: do something and everybody will feel like, you know, this

238
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: is the best way to do it. So we'll kind

239
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: of have to wait until we actually until that actually happens.

240
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: But I'd say in the meantime, I feel like our

241
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: preparations are pretty pretty well on target. And again, of

242
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: course we'll be in compliance with whatever we need to do.

243
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: And I mean, you guys have a lot of long

244
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: trips this year Seattle in week two, two games back

245
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: to back in LA and these travel protocols gonna affect

246
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: maybe not going a day early, or just maybe affect

247
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: how you guys do the travel. Yeah, I don't think so.

248
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: I think that we're we'll be able to, you know,

249
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: stay stay with the schedule that we had initially planned on,

250
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: but certainly there are a lot of details to be

251
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: worked out, not only in away games, but also on

252
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: home games, because there's there's travel policies or gain day

253
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: policies that are going to be different there as well.

254
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: So UM, you know, we'll deal with those all in

255
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: in time. And some of the things that we might

256
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to um dry run or rehearse or

257
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: look at if we can do that, we we will. Um.

258
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: Taking a trip isn't one of them, but there are

259
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: other game day policies that we can implement to make

260
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: sure everybody's comfortable with those going forward. So I would

261
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: say it'd be a combination of those things. But you know,

262
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: in in the big picture, I don't think our travel

263
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: situation will alter too dramatically from what it's been in

264
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: the past. I really have time for a couple more

265
00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: questions we do. Mike Giardi, Fallab, Mark Daniels, Corning, Bill

266
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: Jared appeared to struggle a little bit during Team Perry yesterday.

267
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: I guess how important is it for you in your

268
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: evaluation of a player to see him return the next

269
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: day to practice and respond positively to the corrections that

270
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: we're made and think that step forward again and sure

271
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: to show that all right, I'll put that in the

272
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: rear view. Yeah, Well, again, we talked about this a

273
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: little bit earlier. I don't think it's I don't think

274
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: it's really good for us as a coaching staff to

275
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: over evaluate, you know, an individual play when we have

276
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: you know, so many plays to work with. But every

277
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: player makes mistakes out there, every player gets corrected, every

278
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: player gets coaching points on things that they can do

279
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: better differently, And I would say, ultimately we're going to

280
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: reach a point where you know, we have to you know,

281
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: really evaluate, you know, what what the performance is. I

282
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: think in the early stages there's definitely a timing confidence,

283
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, anticipation issues that are you know, different from

284
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: player to player, and depending on who they're in there

285
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: with and what the play was and how things unfolded

286
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: and so forth, that sometimes those are mistakes, sometimes they're

287
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: learning experiences, sometimes they're you know, it could be mistakes

288
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: by multiple people involved in the specific part of the

289
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: play that have to be ironed out. So again, our

290
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: job is to evaluate, you know, the overall performance and

291
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: progress of the players, and I think as we get

292
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: a little bit further into camp, that's easier to do

293
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: when everybody has done their assignment, you know, multiple times

294
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: and multiple looks and they're confident they know what they're

295
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: doing and all that. You know, the first time through

296
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: for any of us doing anything, you know, doesn't go

297
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: as smoothly as as what it does when you've had

298
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: multiple repetitions at that experience. So you know, that's that's

299
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: what that's what our job is. That's what we'll evaluate.

300
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: And uh, certainly an ongoing one that I think is

301
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: gonna become more important in succeeding days. The first day

302
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: or two three, whatever is you know, not I would

303
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: say not as critical as going forward when you've you've

304
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: been through things multiple times. Thank you, Bill, You're welcome,

305
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: and I'll appologize to those we don't get you, but

306
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: we'll finish with marketingials. Go ahead, Mark sa hey Bill. Um,

307
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: it's it's been a few years since we've seen an

308
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: assistant on the team with the defensive coordinator title. I

309
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: was wondering what what does an assistant have to show

310
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: you to earn that promotion in that title, and and

311
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: what goes into whether or not you name someone you

312
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: know the defensive coordinator for a season or not. Yeah, well,

313
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: each one of those situations is is different, different, different

314
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: and unique and um, you know, I've been a head coach,

315
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: I've been a position coach, I've been a coordinate, I've

316
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: coached on you know, all three all three units. And

317
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, I would say the focus around here isn't

318
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: really on titles as much as it is on, um,

319
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: getting the job done and you know, doing the things

320
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: that help the team. So whether it's titles like you know,

321
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: general manager and coordinator and you know a bunch of

322
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: other stuff like that, Um, you know, I don't think

323
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: that that those titles necessarily are are that important. In

324
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: some cases, there's reasons for doing it or not doing it,

325
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: but every situation is different, and UM, what's more important

326
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: to us is you know, the overall performance of the

327
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: team and and the person's role in that performance. And

328
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: so that's that's really where our focus is, not, you know,

329
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: not the titles that go you know, next to everybody's

330
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: name and all that. Sometimes those are I would say,

331
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: more confusing than than anything else. So, UM, I think

332
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: each person knows what they what their assignments are, what

333
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: they need to do, what they're responsible for, and and

334
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: that's to me the most important part of all that.

335
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: So UM, we don't I would say, well, We are

336
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: not really all that concerned. I'm not all that concerned about,

337
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, some of the other things that go with that.

338
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: You know, teams have eight assistant head coaches and three

339
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: coordinators on each side of the ball for you know,

340
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: different things and so forth. That's we're we're not going

341
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: to do that. Thank you very much, coach, Thanks everyone. Great, Yeah,

342
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: thank you.
