Speaker 2: This were both of you guys.

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 3: What excite you guys about this particular team going into

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 3: training camp?

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, everything is Everything is new each year. So like

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: the guys we've we've brought in, the additions, like the

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: draft picks that we've had, how they've worked, and I

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: like how we competed in the spring. So I'm looking

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: forward to training camp. This is the start of the season.

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: We got a long way to go and a lot

16
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: of things we got to continue to improve on day

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: by day with the goal to be ready to go

18
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: to start the season.

19
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 4: Chris Storriache, CBS New York. You guys have made it

20
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 4: clear who your Week one starter is under center. But

21
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 4: how important is the development of Jackson Dart not just

22
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: to the offense, but to the franchise in the years

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 4: to come.

24
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's important for all the players to develop,

25
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, that's what this time of year is for.

26
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: And then once we're ready to go against Washington, we

27
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: put the best guys out there. We see fit Russell's

28
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: had a really good spring. The other quarterbacks have as well.

29
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: I like that room. I like the direction of the

30
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: room is headed. But for all young players, you know,

31
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: I know you asked about Jackson, but it's really every

32
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: young player. Our goal is to develop those guys and

33
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: when they're called upon, be ready to go.

34
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 5: From Jackson in the spring, he had a good spring. Again,

35
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,279
Speaker 5: he's he's a rookie, so there's going to be some

36
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 5: some mistakes obviously, and it's good the makeup of the

37
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 5: room allows him to learn from some of his peers

38
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 5: and you know, to echo what Dave's just said, I

39
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 5: really liked the room. So you know he was in

40
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 5: there early, working hard, still learning the offense.

41
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: It's a lot.

42
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 5: You got to know what everybody's doing. But you know,

43
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 5: you saw leadership. You know you saw arm talent, you

44
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 5: saw athleticism. And again he's he's a rookie. He's got

45
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 5: a long way to go, and again he's got a

46
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 5: really good supporting cast in there to help, and you

47
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 5: know we got a really good coaching staff as well,

48
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 5: So he's in a good spot right now.

49
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 6: Ryan, how do you to fall from what she said?

50
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: You have been pretty clear.

51
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: Ross's QB one, his QB two open for grabs.

52
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: Can anybody else in the room win QB two?

53
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

54
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 4: Look, we're going.

55
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: To go out here, we're gonna practice. Guys are going

56
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: to compete, and you know, the roster will be set

57
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: when the roster's set. So our goal right now is

58
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: just to improve each person every day and uh, you know,

59
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: we'll take it from there.

60
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 6: How do you plan on handling Jackson know this summer

61
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 6: in regards to developing, Like, what what do you what

62
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 6: are your goals for him throughout the summer?

63
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: To get better every day?

64
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: To be on the field fully Today he doesn't participating fully?

65
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: No, ready to go?

66
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 3: Looking back? What do you want to see from him

67
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: in year two?

68
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: Same thing? Keep improving?

69
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: He's where when Tom mentions Malik, where can he specifically

70
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 2: improve after what was a pretty dazzling rookie year.

71
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 7: Yeah.

72
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: Look, I think everybody's at different levels, every players at

73
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: a different level, and each person on our football team

74
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: has different things to improve on. Coaches, players, we all do.

75
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: You know, everybody's got a specific plan on things that

76
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: we need to help them with, and that goes for

77
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: everybody on the team.

78
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: You obviously have your own plans and ideas and you

79
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: know outline for how this camp is going to go.

80
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: But when you have a quarterback like Russ who's who's

81
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: been around for so long, do you sort of listen

82
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: to him a little more closely about what's worked for

83
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: him in the past and what he might want and

84
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: incorporate that.

85
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I've covered this a couple of times here, Tom,

86
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: but I understand the question. He's a he's a guy

87
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: who's done it for a long time. He's got a

88
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: lot of experiences. He's been in a number of systems,

89
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: he's played a lot of football, he's seen a lot

90
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: of things, He's made a lot of adjustments. And I

91
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of good give and take in

92
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: our quarterback room. I think you need to have that.

93
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: Those are the guys that are that are playing behind center,

94
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: and they have to be very comfortable with what we're

95
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: asking them to do. And you certainly listen to those guys,

96
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: you know, and all four of them, you know, some

97
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: one guy might not like one thing, they might like

98
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: it all. I think when you're developing offense, you come

99
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: out here, you practice a lot of different things, and

100
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: then you hone in on what those guys are doing

101
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: well so that you're you're very good at the things

102
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: that you're asking them to do. But he's you know,

103
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: he's a guy that you know, he's been great in

104
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: the room. He's got tremendous leadership. He saw what he did,

105
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, having everybody out there. But he's done this

106
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: for a for a long time, and we have we

107
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: have very good working and I say personal relationship.

108
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 3: Example, and you can give something that he's brought to

109
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: you that you might change it or add to your repertoire.

110
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well look, there's so many different plays you can run,

111
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: uh in this league. And you do a lot of

112
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: research on the guys that you acquire, not just Russ

113
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: but but other players, but particularly Rush. You watch some

114
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: old things, you talk about, Hey, this is how we've

115
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: read this play before. This is the you know, the

116
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: cover two side of it that we put in here. Hey,

117
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: I kind of like it when the back does this

118
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: relative to that, All right, why do you like that

119
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: this is why I like it. The linebacker does this,

120
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: or I can control them with my eyes and you know,

121
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: you're continue learning as a coach have done this. This

122
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: is twenty fifth or twenty six training camp with a

123
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: lot of different players, and I think all the coaches

124
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: I want them to do that with their players too.

125
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: If there are the ones out there on the field playing,

126
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: we have to put good plan together and then we

127
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: have to work together to try to execute that plan

128
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: when you.

129
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 8: Come into when you plan for training camp, I'm sure

130
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 8: keeping the players healthy is at or near the top

131
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 8: of you know, your priority getting you know, preparing them

132
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 8: and keeping them healthy. We've already seen some teams start

133
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 8: and some guys go down already, So how do you juggle?

134
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 8: I got to get them ready to play. But you know,

135
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 8: I want this roster to be healthy at the start

136
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 8: of the year. I mean, you know that's kind of

137
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 8: a goal every year, isn't it.

138
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: Well, it's football, so there's gonna be injuries. There's injuries

139
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: every year. I think you rely on your sporting cast,

140
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: our trainers, our nutritionists who we hired this past season.

141
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: Who's done fabulous job, Matt Frex. You did just you

142
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: talk to the team this morning. You try to educate

143
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: them on the things that you can educate them on, hydration, lifting, stretching,

144
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: prehab work, what they're doing hot tub, the cold tubb,

145
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: the training staff. And then you go out there and

146
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: play and there's gonna be injuries. You wish there wasn't,

147
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: but there is. And then you make sure that people

148
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: behind the people that get injured are ready to go.

149
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 6: I need to attack this from your position training camp

150
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 6: as a GM, not just here, but obviously what goes

151
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 6: on elsewhere.

152
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, once the preseason starts and there's other games again,

153
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 5: there's gonna be roughly twelve hundred to thirteen hundred players

154
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 5: cut that Labor Day weekend. So pro staff does a

00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 5: we divvy up the league and they they're in charge

159
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 5: of teams as if of the GMS of the team.

160
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 5: So whether it's trade candidates, whether it's cap casualties, injuries

161
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 5: that you're talking about, we will track all that stuff

162
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 5: and from a roster procurement standpoint, we still have the

163
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 5: third in the claiming order, so this will be a

164
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 5: big preseason for us in terms of when players are

165
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 5: released during that time. You know, if the first two

166
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 5: teams don't claim a player, you know, now it comes

167
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 5: to us and we can We've had some success you know,

168
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 5: claiming some players, uh, since we've been here. You know,

169
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 5: at the we call it the second draft, you know,

170
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 5: that time of year, so it's a busy time of year.

171
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 5: That's it's a lot of players to to work through,

172
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 5: a lot of film to watch. So you know, we'll

173
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 5: evaluate that and then you know, as Dave's was just

174
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 5: talking about, there our injuries and you know the roster

175
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 5: may look different a week from now just because of injuries.

176
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 5: And you know we made a transaction yesterday with bringing

177
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 5: in Kvon Wallace, so you know there are injuries. You know,

178
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 5: you're trying to keep everybody fresh, so you need you

179
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 5: need everybody out there on the field to take the reps.

180
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 5: So you know, we've got an emergency list. You know,

181
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 5: it's ready to go if a player gets hurt at

182
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 5: a certain position. You know, we have workouts during this time,

183
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 5: so it's a it's a busy time of year, but

184
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 5: it's it's fun, it's great. We're we're glad to be

185
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 5: back to work and you know, excited for the.

186
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: Season and contribute immediately. What do you want to see

187
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 4: in his first NFL training camp going through his rookie season.

188
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, know what to do, then go out there and

189
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: do it at a high level. He has a skill set.

190
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: You know, Joe did a great job of selecting him

191
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: in the draft. He's been good since he's been here. Again,

192
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: we've got a couple of days here without patch, but

193
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: once the pass come out, I wanted to play fast.

194
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: I want to play aggressive, physical, no fear of mentality,

195
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: good after the quarterback, stop the run. You know, everything

196
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: that's required for for him at his position.

197
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: Is there any concern with Andrew for the opener at

198
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: all or you under the impression that this poplist period

199
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: is going to be.

200
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 3: A quick one.

201
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, he'll, he'll he should be ready for the opener. Again,

202
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 5: things change. You can never be one hundred percent, but

203
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 5: we're going to take it day by day with him.

204
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 5: He's ready, he'll be out there, but you know, we

205
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 5: anticipate him to be ready for the opener.

206
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 7: Joe, We've seen so far from dark about his disposition.

207
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 7: The way he cares himself suggests you that he'll be

208
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 7: a good fit as a leader for this organization and

209
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 7: in the market.

210
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll see how that transpires. You know, he's a

211
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: young kid, he's only been here for a couple of months,

212
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 5: but you know, watching and talking to people down at

213
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 5: Old Miss. You know, we went to school and you

214
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 5: know the leadership that you know he showed down there

215
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 5: and you know what we've seen just personality wise from

216
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 5: him here. But you know that can be that can

217
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 5: be tough at first. You know, we've been around some

218
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 5: quarterbacks when you come in as a twenty one, twenty

219
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 5: two year old and you know, now you're tough to

220
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 5: go lead grown men that have been in the league

221
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 5: for a long time. So it'll happen organically, but you know,

222
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 5: we like the personality traits, the character traits, the leadership

223
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 5: traits that he possessed Old Miss, and you know from

224
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 5: what we've seen so far.

225
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 8: So it takes time to build depth on a roster,

226
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 8: you know, we all you know, we'll concentrate on the

227
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 8: starughters and all that. But where do you think it

228
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 8: is now? Do you think the team is short in

229
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 8: any place. But you know the fact that as Brian said,

230
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 8: you know, some guys go down unfortunately this and that

231
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 8: that there's a this fortification in the the back. You

232
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 8: know that the second guys, the third guys, where do

233
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 8: you think you are with the depth?

234
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 5: We'll see Paul again just going into day one. You know,

235
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 5: some young guys that we've just seen in shorts and

236
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 5: T shirts. So once the once the pads come on,

237
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 5: you know, interior line, D line, you know, we'll get

238
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 5: a chance to see, you know, how those guys do

239
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 5: when the pads come on. So we feel good about

240
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 5: where the roster is right now with the ninety one

241
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 5: players that we have with the international exempts, and so

242
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 5: you know, now is when the competition really begins over

243
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 5: the next few weeks in training camp, and you know,

244
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to that. But yeah, we like the

245
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 5: ninety one we have. Now, We're always going to be looking,

246
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 5: you know, if there's transactions or somebody these cuts or

247
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 5: trades or whatever it is, We're always going to look

248
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 5: to do it's best for the team.

249
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 2: You feel like you've built a playoff team, like a

250
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: playoff caliber team for a year four.

251
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're we're just starting camp today. You know, I

252
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 5: understand the question, but you know, the expectation is we're

253
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: going to be a competitive team, a competitive roster, and again,

254
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 5: all that starts today.

255
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 3: Always you always evaluate your process, but the last two years,

256
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: you know, you guys haven't started well.

257
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, is there anything in the process maybe that you're

258
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 5: that you're thinking about changing in hopes of changing that.

259
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've changed. We've changed on a yearly basis, and

260
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, we think we have a process set in

261
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: place with the players that we have right now to.

262
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 6: Be ready to go.

263
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: You know, we're going to have to be. But it's

264
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: the first day. As Joe just mentioned, we have a

265
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: long you know, thirty days or whatever it is. We

266
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: play preseason game in fifteen days, I think. But you know,

267
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: our focus is going to be on us and the

268
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: improvements that we need to make. And like I said,

269
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: I like the additions that we've we've added to our

270
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: football team, the personalities, the competitiveness of these players, some

271
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: which played in the league at a high level, and

272
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: the young players that we've added. So again, it takes

273
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: time to build a team. Here, this is the time

274
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: to do it. In training camp, learn from mistakes, grow

275
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: each day, and continue to improve, you know, all the

276
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: way up until the start of the season.

277
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 5: Can any of the other quarterbacks challenge Russell for the

278
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 5: week one starting job?

279
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: Where's that door closed?

280
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 7: That's his?

281
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I said, these guys will be out here competing.

282
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: But Russ is our starter.

283
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 7: For you guys, you know, coming here, when you came here,

284
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 7: originally it was always about you know, a united front,

285
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 7: the two of you together. I'm just curious, how is

286
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 7: your relationship, your working relationship developed over time? Like how

287
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 7: much Joe have you learned about Dames and what you

288
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 7: guys have gone through? And then maybe vice versa, Daves,

289
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 7: what have you learned about Joe and his team and

290
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 7: what he has to do for you guys.

291
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot that goes on to run in

292
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: an operation. There's usually we laugh about it all the time.

293
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: Ten things that come up between six and more and

294
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: nine like it did today, different different things organizationally, players,

295
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: rehab standpoint uh, and then you you know, you work together. Look,

296
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: we got a we got a great personal relationship, spend

297
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: a lot of time together outside the building, and a

298
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: great working relationship. And there's there's things you learn every year.

299
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: You know, maybe I shouldn't have handled it this way. What

300
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: do you see from your end outside looking in? And

301
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: he asked the same thing, and that's you know, that's

302
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: how you try to get better. You you know, you

303
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: make mistakes, You communicate, try to get through the things

304
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: you need to get through and improve on them. Ask

305
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: for advice, get advice. But the good thing is, you know,

306
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: we do a lot of things, like I said, outside

307
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: the building as well. I think that helps. I think

308
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: it helps a team when players do things outside the

309
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: building so that when you hit rocky times or tough

310
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: times or decision that needs to be made, that you can,

311
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, sit there and talk about it and then

312
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, again, don't be disagreeable. You can disagree, but

313
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be disagreeable all the time, have good discussions,

314
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: do what's best for the team. And you know, that's

315
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: that's why I enjoy working with Joe.

316
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say that, you know, the relationship outside

317
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 5: the building inside the building, and the communication and the

318
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 5: respect that we have for each other. You know, both

319
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 5: have been doing it for a long time, and the

320
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 5: ability to have hard, honest conversations together with each other

321
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 5: behind a closed door, and you know, evaluate decisions, whether

322
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 5: it's things we didn't in game, or draft picks or

323
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 5: players that walked out came in traded for whatever we did.

324
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 5: We're always evaluated our decisions. But you know, those hard,

325
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 5: honest conversations and the amount of respect that we have

326
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 5: for one another, you know, helps this thing work.

327
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: And I think are the It sucks when you're going

328
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: through it, but the tough times help. We've certainly had

329
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: a few tough times, but you know that's when you

330
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: that's when you grow closer to that's when you're able

331
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: to have those honest conversations and you never want to

332
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: go through those tough times that you wish you were

333
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: sorry you sho never lost a game. Sure where you

334
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: wanted to be at the end of every season, but

335
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: that hasn't been the case. But those help you in

336
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: the long run.

337
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: When you're as a coach, when you're assessing the quarterback position,

338
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: how do you balance a situation where you have a

339
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: veteran who you know what you're going to get from him,

340
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: you know what he can do in the league, versus

341
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: a young guy who when he shows he's ready, maybe

342
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: he's not as savvy as the veteran but has more

343
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: upset like how do you kind of balance the.

344
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: Too Well, first, it's it's a little bit different because

345
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: even though we have some quarterbacks that have been in

346
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: the league, they're in a new system. So the verbiage,

347
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: the cadence, the checks, the signals, all the things that

348
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: you need to do to play at a high level

349
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: at that position. We're still we're still going through that

350
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: with these guys. But you evaluate the players I would

351
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: say the same Connor, but you also understand, you know,

352
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: at this time of year, it's it's it's easy to

353
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: look at veteran players, not just at the quarterback position,

354
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: and guys that have had a lot of experience in

355
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: the league and have been through things, and you kind

356
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: of know, all right, they got it. They're not going

357
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: to make a lot of mistakes. You trust them as

358
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: a coach versus some young players who you know are

359
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: pretty skillful. Maybe they're a little quicker, maybe they're a

360
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: little faster, but you know, there's two or three mistakes

361
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: a day. What you evaluate, Connor, is you know, are

362
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: you air or repeater? You make the same mistake the

363
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: next day and then next day and If that's the case,

364
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: it's hard to put a player out there that does

365
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: that if they're learning from their mistakes, which all players

366
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: are going to learn from them, but these young players,

367
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: they got to learn quick. Like I said, this time

368
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: of year, you know, O tas are great. We got

369
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: a lot accomplished. I think we did a really good

370
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: job as a staff and as players out there. But

371
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: time short, you don't have a lot of it before

372
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: the first game, and we have to know what our

373
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: vision is leaning up to September here, so you evaluate them,

374
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: you give them an ample opportunity. We'll do another, you know,

375
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: a period at the end, which is a young player

376
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: period where they get a few more reps. But they

377
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: got to they got to go, you know, and they

378
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: got to learn from the mistakes that they make. And

379
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: they don't make them the next time. You keep developing them,

380
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: they keep making the same one over and over. It's

381
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: hard to put them out there.

382
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: From your perspective, what will determine when Jackson is ready

383
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: to play?

384
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 5: How will you know? That's probably more of a question

385
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 5: for him.

386
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not.

387
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 5: Gonna Yeah, I'll lean on him for that. Again, Like

388
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 5: you just talked about it, a repeaters like I can

389
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 5: watch practice and you guys can watch it, and then

390
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 5: you get back and you even after games and I

391
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 5: get in there with Dave's on a Monday morning or

392
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 5: after practice and oh he was supposed to run this

393
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 5: or you know that wasn't on Jackson. So I'm not

394
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 5: in the meetings every day, so I lean on those

395
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 5: guys in our personnel meetings. And you know, these guys

396
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 5: have been doing it a long time. We've got a

397
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 5: really good offensive staff. And when they feel he's ready,

398
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 5: the timed right, or the circumstances right, then we'll have

399
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 5: those conversations.

400
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 4: Then obviously start the Yeah, I just to quick follow

401
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 4: up through the spring, how has Jackson been with those airs?

402
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: Is here? Repeater?

403
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 4: Has he been He's done good?

404
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I covered I said that. I think the last

405
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: day I was here he had a good spring, and

406
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: we need to build. Look, when you go away for

407
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: a month, you you forget things too. So it's not

408
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,239
Speaker 1: we're not starting over. But you know, yesterday we had

409
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: an hour and a half hour, forty five minute meeting.

410
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: We didn't have a meeting before this practice. So we're

411
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: going out there and it's it's we're going right away.

412
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: So we'll see how these guys do every day. But Jackson,

413
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: Jackson's a guy that you know, puts the time in.

414
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: He's got the right qualities. As Joe mentioned, you know,

415
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: he'll continue to get better day by day, and that's

416
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: what we're gonna ask him.

417
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 6: Obviously, Russ is a starter. I'm wondering how you generally

418
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 6: feel about you know, sort of, for lack of a better term,

419
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 6: red shirting a quarterback or a first round pick and

420
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 6: sort of having them sit the majority or most of

421
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 6: the year.

422
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, going through the process. We have Mike

423
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 5: Kafka on the roster or on the staff obviously as

424
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 5: our offensive coordinator. He was in Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes.

425
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 5: I think he played one game at the end of

426
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 5: the year, so we've seen that. Our plan in Buffalo

427
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 5: was for Josh to probably not play much his first year,

428
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 5: but the way it worked out, halftime of the first game,

429
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 5: I get blown out by Baltimore and we put him

430
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 5: in and you know, he played the rest of the year.

431
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 5: So you know, I think there's some real benefits from

432
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 5: sitting and learning, specifically from some of the guys in

433
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 5: the room that have the experience that they have. But

434
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 5: you know, if the coaching staff at some point feels

435
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 5: it's right and he's ready, then I'll leave that up

436
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 5: to them.

437
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: Right, Well, have your eyes are expecting to stand out

438
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 4: during this training camp?

439
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? This is this is a good time for these rookies.

440
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: They've they've had an O, T A, you know, a

441
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: bunch of them. But now now we really get to

442
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: see them once the pats come on in the preseason

443
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: games and and how they're developing and how they can

444
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: improve each day. And then you know, those preseason games

445
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: are important when you see live action where you can

446
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: actually tackle and hit the quarterback and do all those

447
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: type of things. So again I've said this before, I

448
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: think Joe and the staff did a great.

449
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: Job with with the draft.

450
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: I thought that last year, like the young guys that

451
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: we have, and now it's you know, they have to

452
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: go out there and do it. Though it's not gonna

453
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: be handed to them. They got to go out there

454
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: and they got to perform at a high level with

455
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: great discipline and attention to detail and a team first

456
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: attitude and tremendous work ethic and and that goes for

457
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: all the players.

458
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 2: See Scattabo and Darius Alexander A lot in the spring.

459
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 2: Are they full?

460
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: Go? When we get here, ready to go
