1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Our next question Mike Ureity, followed by Mark Gangas. Good afternoon, Josh.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: How are you good, Mike? Are you doing good? Obviously

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: Cam didn't have the spring or really a summer with

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: you guys, or at least half the summer with you,

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: and then obviously the circumstances of COVID and how training

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: camp went. He gets that this year. How would you

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: assess his overall feel in the offense and comfort in

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: the offense now? And what have you seen from his mechanics,

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: because I know he's at least let it out there

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: that you know, he's been working on some of the footwork.

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, well, I mean it's definitely it's you know,

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: he's worked really hard, you know, and he worked hard.

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: He worked hard all year last year. He was certainly

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: in a point when he got here that was a

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: unique situation, having really no experience and exposure to our

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: system prior to training camp starting. I honestly can't remember

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: another time in my career where we've had a player

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: that has done that. You know, even the rookies that

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: get drafted, they get, you know, information prior to the

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: end of the spring, so um, it was a unique area.

21
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: He worked his butt off last year to do it,

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: and then he came back certainly this year at a

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: at a much different position. You know, he has a

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: different grasp of the offense, a different understanding of the terminology.

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: And now we're working on refining UM, you know, the precision,

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: the details, and I always talked to the quarterbacks about

27
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: trying to master you know, the operation and the things

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: we need them to do, you know, and you know,

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: there's there's always work to be done in that area.

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 1: I don't care what quarterback you're talking about, there's always

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: work to be done. And relative to fundamentals, UM, I

32
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: think you know, we've talked a lot about this over

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: the years. Every quarterback has to continue to work on

34
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: those things. UM. Some may have more refined fundamentals in

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: one area or another. UM, whether that's throwing mechanics, footwork, shoulders, stride,

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: follow through movement in the pot um. I. You know,

37
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: it's it's like a golfer swing, you know what I mean,

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: and if if there's one thing off, you know, with

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: the swing, you could shoot a high number, you know.

40
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: And and so in terms of refining and working at

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: quarterback fundamentals, it's a NonStop. You know, never ending process,

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: and he's worked really hard at it. We're going to

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: continue to work really hard at it, um with the

44
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: days we have left in the spring, uh, to to

45
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: refine his and everybody else is at that position as well,

46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: because like I said, I don't think it's ever a

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: finished product. Thanks Josh, you got it. Next question, Mark

48
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: Daniels fall Back, Ben Ving, Hey, Josh football as well.

49
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: After Mac was drafted, he talked about being able to

50
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: create a little bit of a connection with you over

51
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: the virtual interviews you guys had in the pre draft process.

52
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: Just wondering what did you learn about Mac leading up

53
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: to the draft that you know that created some sort

54
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: of connection. And second part to the question would be

55
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: what were you looking for when you saw these quarterbacks

56
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: throw at produce? Um? You know the time you get

57
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: with them, UM, you know, whether that's you know, the

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: phone call or the or the zoom meetings prior to

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: the draft. UM, you know, you're trying to get a

60
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: feel for the human being first of all, UM, trying

61
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: to get to learn about him. UM about you know,

62
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: what his experience has been like, UM, wherever he's played, UM,

63
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: what is his you know, you know what's his background,

64
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: where's he come from? You know, you can learn a

65
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: lot about somebody if you just are willing to have

66
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: a good, honest, you know, dialogue and communication with them

67
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: and not just run right into football. And so UM,

68
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that part of it. UM enjoyed that part

69
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: of it with a lot of guys this spring, quite honestly, UM.

70
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: And then getting to talk about football and and really

71
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, with the technology, um that we have now

72
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: the ability to watch film on you know, a zoom

73
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: meeting and then ask questions and you know, whether that

74
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: be their film and have him talk to you or

75
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: you you know, you show some film, uh, you know,

76
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: something else and you might be able to teach him

77
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: something and see how well he receives it, you know

78
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. And so you're just trying to gain

79
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: as much information about how the player thinks and learns,

80
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: what he knows, what he doesn't know, how does he process,

81
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: you know, what's the best way to communicate with him,

82
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: because as we talk to all these players, we never

83
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: know which ones we're going to end up with or

84
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: which ones we're gonna end up not having, you know.

85
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: And so and I've learned also over time is all

86
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: of those minutes that we get to spend or valuable

87
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: because you know, a lot of these guys have long

88
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: careers and so maybe we don't end up with them initially,

89
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: but we end up with them eventually. You know what

90
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean that that can happen in our league obviously.

91
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: And what was the second part? Mark? I'm sorry? And

92
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: I know you saw Mac throw at Alabama and you

93
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: saw the what do you look for when you're at

94
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: that pro day setting you're watching them quarterback throw the ball? Um?

95
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: You know, interesting presence, presence command? Um? You know, are

96
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: they are they you know, in control of the workout?

97
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: Are they talking to the other players that are there

98
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: to participate with them? Um? Are they coachable? You know

99
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: sometimes it wasn't as many times this spring, but sometimes

100
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: you get to actually get your hands in there and

101
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: work with players and some of those uh those pro

102
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: days and and kind of have them do certain drills

103
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: and you might be able to correct something and then

104
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, see how they respond in real time. Um.

105
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: But you know, you certainly want to see their feet,

106
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: You want to see their throwing mechanics, you want to

107
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: see their accuracy, their arm strength in person um is

108
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: always a good thing to to be able to feel um,

109
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, because you can feel it when it when

110
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: it's good, and you can see it clearly when it's not.

111
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: And you know, but but do you have to watch

112
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: them interact with people? Um? You know, are they ready

113
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: for this kind of a situation? You know there's been

114
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people at a lot of these pro

115
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: days this year, so big crowd and you know, canna

116
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: handle that kind of a you know, it's not a

117
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: it's not a game like environment, but you know there's

118
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: some pressure there and they want to do well and

119
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: you just want to kind of pick up, you know what,

120
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: how they handle those kind of events. Thanks Josh yep

121
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: from ben Volunfall by Jim McBride is Josh, hope you're

122
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: doing well. Thanks? How are you doing hanging in there? Man? Uh?

123
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: Two quick ones if you don't mind. Uh, what is

124
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: it about Mac Jones that you liked when when you

125
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: evaluated him in this offseason? Just what did you like

126
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: about him? And how are you giving up your time

127
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: between coaching Cam and coaching Mac? How are you handling man? Well? Um?

128
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: You know, look Mac, Um, he's he's you know, he's

129
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: won a lot of games, you know, and in the

130
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 1: last year plus you know at Alabama, UM, he's played

131
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: in some big games, some pressure situations. UM you know,

132
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: he takes care of the football. UM, he's demonstrated an

133
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: ability to function um at a pretty high level. And

134
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: their system in their offense, with their terminology. UM, you know,

135
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: he competed in a league that's I would say widely regarded.

136
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: Is you know, one of the top conferences, if not

137
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: the top conference and all of college football. UM, you know,

138
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: and he's you know, to play the position to quarterback,

139
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: there's certainly not just one thing you need to do well.

140
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: So UM you know he certainly you know stood out

141
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: in certain uh certain obvious ways, UM you know, relative

142
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: to throw in the football and command and um you know,

143
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: protecting the ball and not not you know, um, not

144
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: hurting his football team. So a lot to you know,

145
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: look at and digest as you studied him. Um. And

146
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: with the quarterback room, the I mean the best thing

147
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: about coaching these guys, and that we got four great

148
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: guys in the room is you coach all all of

149
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: them hard, and you coach them all fairly, and you

150
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: coach them all you know, to what they need. You know,

151
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: one of them might need a kick in the butt

152
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: once in a while, one of them might need a

153
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: pat on the back, and but what all of them

154
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: need is good honest communication. And you know we constructive criticism.

155
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: We need to teach every day. I'm not taking anything

156
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: for granted, making sure that we cover everything A to

157
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: Z and giving them an opportunity to make a mistake,

158
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: fix it, come back and try it again. And so

159
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: to be able to give them all those opportunities this

160
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: spring is invaluable and it's it's a great opportunity for

161
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: us to make progress in that room collectively to prepare

162
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: them to compete in August. Thanks. I'm going to apologize

163
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: in advanced guys. We're slotting for about ten minutes, apiece.

164
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to take two more questions. Steve Belichick is

165
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: already waiting, so we'll cover Jim McBride and Tom Kerran.

166
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: I apologize to those we don't get too. Hi, Josh,

174
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: ball in his hands. UM, you know, demonstrated an ability

175
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: to catch the football and do something with it when

176
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: he was in the passing when he's used in the

177
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: passing game. UM. And he's he's tough enough to stand

178
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: in there and block blitzers and and do things in

179
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: protection that can help you when he's in there. Uh.

180
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: And that happens to be the case. UM. And and

181
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: we you know, we we spoke with him. Uh, we

182
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: we evaluated him personally. He did the same thing with

183
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys and just you know, uh,

184
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: headed in the draft again, like you never know who

185
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna up with. But um, you know, excited to

186
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to add him to our mix. Um.

187
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: He's being given the same opportunities that a lot of

188
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: our guys have been given. UM. Learn to learn the offense,

189
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: learn our terminology, Understand how we do things, what our

190
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 1: operation is. UM. You know, he's gonna make plenty of

191
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: mistakes and we're going to correct them. And again, hopefully

192
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: by the time we get to training camp. Um, you know,

193
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: he's got a decent foundation to which to build from,

194
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: and then he has an opportunity to compete with our room, which,

195
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: like you said, is we've got a lot of guys

196
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: in that room that are are pretty good football players.

197
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: Thanks Josh. Question tom current, Hey, Josh, Um, I'll try

198
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: and keep it kind of quick. The question is this,

199
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: there is a lot on your plate. You have new

200
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: tight ends, new whiteouts, offenses with quarterbacks web disparate skills,

201
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: a rookie first round quarterback, the guy who's been here

202
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: for twenty years a quarterback isn't here, um, a new

203
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: quarterback coach, and there's more guys out of OTAs. Is

204
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: this a recipe for difficulty? How do you conquer that?

205
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: And is the learning curve at all steeper? Thank you? Um,

206
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't see it that way. UM, I understand, uh,

207
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: you know you all the different things that you mentioned, Tommy, UM,

208
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: you know number one, i'd say, you know, I look

209
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: at each day as an opportunity to just coach and

210
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: teach you know, whoever's here, and and gain as much

211
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: on um, you know, improving our football team as we can.

212
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: And so I don't I don't worry about who isn't here. UM.

213
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: At this point, I know, at some point they'll all

214
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: be here and and you know, it'll be training camp

215
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be rocking and rolling. UM. The guys

216
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: that are here, UM, you know, we feel like we

217
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: will make them better and we'll have an opportunity to

218
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: gain valuable repetitions in the spring, so that any mistake

219
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: we make we can improve as we go forward. Relative

220
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: to me, and you know, my plate or whatever, I

221
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: this is, this is what I love to do, and

222
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: this is what excites me about being a professional football coach. UM.

223
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: I don't see this as an in ordinary, you know,

224
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: an ordinate challenge. I see this as an opportunity. UM.

225
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: We got, you know, young players that are new to

226
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: our team. We got new veteran players that are new

227
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: to our team. And we have certainly a little bit

228
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: of a different type of OTAs you know, in terms

229
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: of maybe not necessarily having everybody here. UM. But you know,

230
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: I look at it as an exciting time for us. UM.

231
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: The new players, young or old, UM, are all learning

232
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: and learning rapidly. UM. They're all listening, they're all asking

233
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: great questions, and every day that we're we were given

234
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: the opportunity to work with them, whether it be in

235
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: the meeting room, we're on the practice field, I feel

236
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: like there's progress being made. And so I don't know

237
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: what everybody else in the National Football League's doing. I

238
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: just know I feel good when I'm with our guys.

239
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: I know the type of effort and work that they're

240
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: putting in day to day, week to week, and so

241
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: I know for a fact that we'll be further along

242
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: at the end of this process than we were when

243
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: we started it, and that will put us in a

244
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: position to start training camp wherever we you know, wherever

245
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: we can, however far that is, we'll start there and

246
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: then we'll build. And you know, we we've never used

247
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: training camp, you know, where there's like an end date.

248
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: So if we need to continue to extend our teaching

249
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: and our learning and our approving and our growth into

250
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: the season, you know, that's what we plan on doing anyway,

251
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: and hopefully we can find and arrive at the best

252
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: version of ourselves down the stretch of the season. But

253
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: right now, one day at a time, love the opportunity,

254
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: need to work with these guys. We've got a great

255
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: group of guys, great energy, in the building. I couldn't

256
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: be more happy with the way we're working and how

257
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: much effort we're putting forth in terms of improving as

258
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: a football team, especially in my case on offense. Thank you,

259
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: George
