1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: All right, Betton, leadoff, Josh, how's it going? Hope you

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: and family are doing well. What have you learned about

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Cam Newton so far? I know you you haven't been

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: able to coach him on the field yet, but have

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: you gotten to meet him much? Have you been able

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: to watch him throw? Just what do you know about him?

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: And are you excited to have a mobile quarterback? I

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: know you and you drafted Tebow back in the day.

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Are you excited to have a more mobile back and

10
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: have that element in your offense? Now? Thanks for the

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: first the opening where my family and I are doing well,

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: I hope you guys are all doing the same. It's yes,

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: I have obviously had an opportunity to meet and get

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: to know Cam. I think it's you know, like like

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: all new relationships, you you kind of go through a

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: process of just learning each other, you know. And we

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of players honestly that we've actually met

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: in person for the first time in the last few days,

19
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, Cam being one of them. So you know,

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a it's a different challenge,

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: it's a new year, you know. Having coached Tom for

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: a long time, I mean it's Um, you know there's

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: going to be a great competition. There's a great energy

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: right now UM in our room and within our our

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: offensive group just to get out on the field and

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: and do our walkthroughs and do their working out and

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: all those things that now, UM, and I think there's

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: an anticipation and excitement UM for us to have an

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: opportunity to actually practice. So we haven't seen anybody do

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: anything relatively speaking from a football perspective yet, because you know,

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: we're not at that phase yet of training camp. UM,

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: but it's been good getting to know everybody. You know,

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Cam has come in and try to just you know,

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: put his head down and work hard. UM. I think

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the quarterback room is doing the same thing.

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: Our offense and defense and special teams are all basically

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: excited to be here. You know. It's almost like you know,

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: kids at recess. So we're thankful for the opportunity to

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: have a chance to work together. And I'm looking forward

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: to camp to seeing a lot more things. What about

41
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: just the whether it's Jared or Cam, both of those

42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: guys are pretty good athletes. How about the idea of

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: having a more mobility at the position and maybe add

44
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: as an extra weapon. What's that gonna be like for you? Yeah,

45
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: I mean we've you know, it's it's certainly not something

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: that I'm you know, accustomed to using a great deal,

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: but you use whatever the strength of your players that

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 1: are on the field allow you to use to try

49
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: to move the ball and score points. Soum. Whatever that

50
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: means relative to mobility at the quarterback position, size and power, quickness, length,

51
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, height With receivers, I mean, it was kind

52
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: of the same thing. You go through the same thing

53
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: many different times. You remember when we you know, you know,

54
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: you get a new receiver group. Our our receivers have

55
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: changed quite a bit in terms of some of them

56
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: have been bigger. Randy Moss was a bigger guy, and

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: then we've had some smaller guys like Wes Welker and

58
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: and Danny Amidola. And then you get tight ends that

59
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: are be more fast, straight line players, and then you

60
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: have guys like Gronk and you know, those kind of players.

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: So m regardless of what the position is, I think

62
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: you try to, you know, you try to use their

63
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: strengths to allow them to make good plays. And you know,

64
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: if that's something that we can figure out how to

65
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: do well and get comfortable doing and feel like we

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: can move the ball and be productive. Then, Um, we're

67
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: going to work as a staff to figure out how

68
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: that works best and try to utilize it if we can.

69
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: Next question, Mike Protraglia is solid by Ken. Thanks An.

70
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: How you doing, Josh? I'm doing great, Mike? How you doing?

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. Um. Wanted to ask you about getting

72
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: reps for as many quarterbacks as you have in camp.

73
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: It's one thing, obviously to teach them on film and

74
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna presumably had a plenty of time to talk

75
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: with them about what you want to do xs and

76
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: os on film, but to get them on the field.

77
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: Given the fact that there's no preseason this year, how

78
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: big of a challenge will it be for you to

79
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: get as many quality looks on the field that through. Yeah,

80
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna, I mean, there's no question. You know. The

81
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: more players that you're trying to to rep and get

82
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: let's just call them similar looks to you know, the

83
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: more difficult it can become. You know, you've got to

84
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: be creative. You know, we'll use every period in practice.

85
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: I know that for sure. You know, you use every

86
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: period in practice, and you know, whether it's a group

87
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,559
Speaker 1: period or seven on seven or team periods, we're gonna

88
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: have to evaluate everything we do, you know. And it

89
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: goes from the quarterback position all the way through the

90
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: offense on my side of the ball. And you know,

91
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: we have a lot of new faces, a lot of

92
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: new players that are learning things in our system and

93
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: giving them opportunities to go out there and try to

94
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: learn the fundamentals that are required to do those things well.

95
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: It's really the most important thing, I think at the

96
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: end of the day. You know, when you go into

97
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: a season the way we're going into it, with a

98
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: truncated offseason and the truncated cranny camp, I think, you know,

99
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: you really want to try to be as good as

100
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: you can fundamentally and not worry about volume as much

101
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: as possible, you know, And it doesn't matter how many

102
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: things you can you can teach. What matters is what

103
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: we can do well. And so we're gonna have to

104
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: try to get all our quarterbacks to do things the

105
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: right way within the scheme of the offense and then

106
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 1: let the competition play out. And then at some point

107
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: you know that that will kind of declare itself and

108
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: I follow up, Josh, can I fall up real quick

109
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: with the question about the previous experience Cam has in

110
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: the NFL, which is substantial versus what Jared might have,

111
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: and how you how you evaluate based on their past experience. Yeah,

112
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean I've seen the things that everybody you know,

113
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Brian has played a lot of football for

114
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: a lot of different people. Um, you know, you know

115
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,119
Speaker 1: Stids played um, you know, in college football and played

116
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: a preseason for US and not much else. And you know,

117
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: and Cam's you know, had had a longer career and

118
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: he's been very successful. And and what really matters to

119
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: me and to us is what we do this training

120
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: camp moving forward here and now, you know, and how

121
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: do we evaluate what they're doing on a day by

122
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: day basis and our offense with our players and our

123
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: system and can they take care of the football, you know,

124
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: move the ball and score points when they're out there?

125
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: And that's really you know, what all our competitions are

126
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: based on, is being able to do good things and

127
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: help our team win. Thanks Jo. Next question Karen gree

128
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: follow that Gizard. Hi, Josh, how you doing good? Karen?

129
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: How are you good? Thanks? Um, I was just wondering

130
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: with Cam coming into a situation a little bit behind

131
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: the others, given they sort of know the playbook and

132
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't. I even think he referred to it as calculus.

133
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: Is there any way for you to help him or

134
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: adapt him with this crash course or is it just

135
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: something he's going to have to do on his own.

136
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: I think it's our job to help help every player,

137
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, figure out how to process the information and

138
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: go out and be able to play fast and be

139
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: aggressive on the football field, you know, I really do.

140
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I know we're asking a lot

141
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: about the quarterback position, but it applies to all the

142
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: new players. I mean, if we can't figure out a

143
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: way to get you know, a bunch of different players

144
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: in the same room to learn the material, then we're

145
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: probably not doing a great job of of what we're

146
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: tasked with. So, um, you know, we have a whole

147
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: bunch of guys on our on our offense and in

148
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: our room, and they don't all learn the same you know,

149
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: and they're not all obviously at the same point in

150
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: terms of you know, how much of this that they've

151
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: been subjected to. So I think what's really important for

152
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: us is to figure out how they learn best, and

153
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: then to try to make sure that we're teaching in

154
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: that direction when there's when we're speaking to them and

155
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: when we're putting them in situations to try to improve

156
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: and get better. So we definitely have to you know,

157
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: we have to do that in all our rooms, honestly.

158
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean we have offensive linemen that have never you know,

159
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: they haven't been on the field, you know, I haven't

160
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: set foot on the field, haven't done anything. Same thing

161
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: with the receiver room tight ends. We've got a lot

162
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: of young tight ends. So we all have to be

163
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: able to be adjustable, and we have to to The

164
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: goal is for our group and then our offense to

165
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: go out there and know what to do and be

166
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: able to execute and play well. So we're gonna have

167
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: to figure out ways to do that regardless of the position. Yeah.

168
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: Have you gotten any sense of Cam and his learning

169
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: process yet, even from the few days you've been with him. Yeah,

170
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: he's a smart football player. You know, he's played a

171
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: lot of football, He's seen a lot of stuff. So,

172
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, guys, guys in our league, I think rarely

173
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: have the type of success that a player like he

174
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: has had in his past without you know, understanding the games,

175
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: so he learns well. And like I said, we're in

176
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: the middle of this process of trying to get him

177
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: caught up along with a lot of the new guys,

178
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: to learn what we want them to do. And we'll

179
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: just keep working at it every day. I know. They

180
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: have a great spirit and demeanor about themselves, and they're

181
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: working at it really hard, and we'll see how far

182
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: we can take it by the time we're ready to play,

183
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: you know. And I think the other thing is is

184
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: whatever whatever we don't do well, if we don't do it,

185
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And that's really an important thing,

186
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: important factor for us to keep in mind, Like that

187
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: matter how much I want to do well, It's what

188
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: matters is what we actually can do well, you know,

189
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: And so whatever that is, then we'll try to win

190
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: that way. Thank you, Josh yep Hey, Hey, Josh, my

191
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: question relates to the opt outs. As far as the offense. Obviously,

192
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: you deal with what you have on the roster and

193
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: right now you haven't made any additions veterans wise, But

194
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: what can you tell us about guys like Yo could used,

195
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: Corey Cunningham As far as you know, what how you

196
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: see right tackle right now? Vitality. It seemed like you

197
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: were trying to get a little bit more athletic at

198
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: the fullback position. Can you still do that if you

199
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: want to? And also losing lacosse at tight end sort

200
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: of how that affects things right now? Yeah, first thing

201
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: I'd say is I respect all those guys for making

202
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: those their own decisions. I mean, it's their choice, and

203
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: we all have to do what's best for our personal

204
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: situations in our family. And we we love those guys

205
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: and have a great deal of respect for them. So

206
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna miss them, you know. And um, you know,

207
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: and I think what we're what we're doing now is

208
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: again we without having been out in the practice field

209
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: and done much work where we can actually see anybody,

210
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: do much. Um, you know, we're we're just we're teaching

211
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys different spots. Um, all the tackles

212
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: are you know, we we rarely teach somebody one spot

213
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: on the line, you know. So guys are trying to

214
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: work in their mind mentally left tackle, right tackle, you know,

215
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: walk throughs, those kind of things, uh, to prepare for um,

216
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, the coming days and weeks when we actually

217
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to go out there and practice and

218
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: see how it all shakes out. I think our goal

219
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: is always to put our best five linemen out there,

220
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: you know, So whether you know whoever that person ends

221
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: up being at right tackle, I just hope he's the

222
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: best player, you know, because our evaluations should be how

223
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: do we put the best group of five out there

224
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: that can play well together? So U Yanni? You know again,

225
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: Yanni hasn't practiced here. You know, Corey didn't have a

226
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: really a training camp last year. Jermaine Illuminois didn't have

227
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: a training camp last you know what I mean. So

228
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: we're going to get to know these guys along with

229
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: the guys that we just drafted and figure out kind

230
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: of how do we need to slot them eventually, you know,

231
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: and what's the best fit. But there's no question in

232
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: my mind, you have to have some versatility, and that's

233
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: what we're really trying to train them to be able

234
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: to do now so that they have more chances to

235
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: compete at multiple spots on the front. If we just

236
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: plug them into one spot only, you know, we'd probably

237
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: limit their opportunity to play. So we're going to teach

238
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: them a lot of different spots, and Carmen Cohl are

239
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: doing a great job of doing that and trying to

240
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: get those guys ready to go when we're able to practice.

241
00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: Next questions you already followed by Tom Kerran, Josh, good

242
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: to see you again. Mike. Curious if you almost feel

243
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: like you have to relearn yourself or reinvent yourself, because

244
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: obviously this offense has been something that has developed from

245
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: Charlie and yourself and Bill O'Brien, but with Tom as

246
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback and now you're looking at different pieces with

247
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: different skill sets, how do you how do you sort

248
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: of view your your approach this year and how you

249
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: attack the offense. Try to keep it the same mentality,

250
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: but adapted to the players that we have, you know,

251
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: and I'm thankful for the experiences that I've had when

252
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: I didn't have Tom, you know. I mean, I believe me,

253
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: nobody was happier to have him out there when he

254
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: was out there for all the years that I was

255
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: fortunate to coach him. But I would say that, you know,

256
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: I did have some experience with the Matt Castle year

257
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: which I learned a lot about, you know, how to

258
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: tailor something to somebody else's strengths. We had to play

259
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: that four game stretch a handful of years ago with

260
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: Jacobe and Jimmy. I thought that was helpful. And I've

261
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, I've been away, I was away for three years,

262
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: so trying to trying to really adapt, you know, it's

263
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: not changing your system, it's adapting your system to the

264
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: talents and strengths of your players. And so again you

265
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: just got to keep telling yourself, am I do I

266
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: really do? I really want us to be good at this?

267
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: Or are we good at this? You know? And there's

268
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: things that I think you have to make a fine line.

269
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: Is a fine line between you know, really pushing hard

270
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: to try to keep working at something that you're just

271
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: not showing much progress in versus Hey, you know what,

272
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: we're a lot better at A, B and C than

273
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: we are at D, E and F. Why don't we

274
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: just do more A B and C? You know? And

275
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: so I think it's a staff. We've really had a

276
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: lot of conversations about those kind of things. Again, we

277
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: can't make any declarations about what we're good at yet

278
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: because we haven't practiced, you know. So I think everybody's

279
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: kind of chomping at the bit eager to get out

280
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: there and start to make, you know, a few decisions

281
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: about some things that we want to try to get

282
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: good at. And if we're just ultimately not making a

283
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of progress, then we just got to shift gears

284
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: and go in a different direction. But I'm gonna lean

285
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: on my experience and then I'm gonna lean on the staff,

286
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick, just to you know, let's be real with ourselves,

287
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, yeah, we used to

288
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: be good at that. We're not doing so hot at it,

289
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: all right, so let's just scrap it for now and

290
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: move in a different direction. We've tried to change like that.

291
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: Even though we had a similar, you know, the same

292
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: quarterback for many of those years, our system wasn't always

293
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: the same. Some years it was fault personnel, some years

294
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: it was regular personnel with a fullback. Other years we

295
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: were no huddle, you know. So we've tried to do

296
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: that with our system and our players in the past.

297
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: I'd say the same thing is going to be applied

298
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: this year. Thank you, Josh, yep Tom Curran, followed by

299
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: Nora Princati, Josh, thank you, great answer. That was a

300
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: lot of insight you just spit out at us that

301
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: I answer your question too. No, no, you didn't answer mind.

302
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: But I thought that was good stuff, because that's that's

303
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: the essence of it, is like how you don't have

304
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: the time to figure out if it's working or not.

305
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: Are you this close or are you this far? I

306
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: guess that was good. I don't want to believe it.

307
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: You already did that. I'm not believe it, but anyway

308
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: I will. Kim Newton respond to different styles of coaching,

309
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: maybe that he's not used to. We've talked about a

310
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: million times. Playing for New England is different. Tom is

311
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: a different player. He responded to hard coaching. Everybody's different.

312
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: What's your sense so far with Kim? And there's been

313
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: conversation about it locally this week as to whether or

314
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: not he could be Would you assume that he'll take

315
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: that as a challenge to say I can deal with

316
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: that knowing him, knowing him how I do now? And

317
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: again that's not to say we've had a long relationship.

318
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: I think he's a really good communicator. He tells you,

319
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, when he when he feels comfortable with something,

320
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: and he tells you one he doesn't you know, and

321
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: I think at the beginning of any relationship, I think

322
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: that's a really good place to start, is Hey, I'm

323
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna be. I'm gonna be, you know, trying to move

324
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: at a pace that suits you, and you just be

325
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: honest and tell me, you know what I need to

326
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: do better in terms of trying to communicate it to you. So, um,

327
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: I think he's really done a good job of that. Um.

328
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: You know, I've talked to some people that have been

329
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: with him in the past, and you know, I mean,

330
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: he's a very coachable guy. This guy wants to work

331
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: and he's worked really hard since since we signed him,

332
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: and he's trying to to gain every day, which is

333
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: really all we can ask of him. And again, I

334
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: think the process of learning how to communicate and really

335
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, coach and motivate each

336
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: player that comes with you know, more experience and exposure

337
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: to him on the field, got to handle an adversity.

338
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: You know, what happens when we make mistakes, you know,

339
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: when we correct them, etc. And those opportunities I think

340
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: we're all looking forward to, you know, going through them together,

341
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, and that's how you build a good relationship.

342
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: Thank you. Final two questions nor Princeati, followed by Bill Bert. Hey, Josh,

343
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: it's good to see you, you too, Nora. Um So

344
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: I'm curious if you think that there's going to need

345
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: to be any adjusting how you do the signaling and

346
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: the communication with the offense, if you know, if there

347
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: aren't fans, if there are fewer fans, if it's just

348
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: overall a lot quieter in stadiums this year, that's a

349
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: great question. Um, you know, and I think I just

350
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: speak selfishly for me. I mean, I love, I love

351
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: the game day atmosphere here, and the fans in New

352
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: England are so special and make our you know, our

353
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: home games such a special place. And boy, I hope

354
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: that there's an opportunity for if it's not the entire

355
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: stadium to be full. Boy, I hope there's some fans

356
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: in there for us, and we would like to hope

357
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: that that could be the case. But if it's if

358
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: it's quieter, I think there's some things you probably have

359
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: to protect, Nora, Like you know, maybe you can't change

360
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: your language, you know. I mean it's like if we

361
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: know English, we can't teach them Spanish, you know. Before

362
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: week one? You know what I mean, we're not going

363
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: to try to do all those things. I think that

364
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: you probably will self scout yourself a little bit more

365
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: with the television copy and figure out, you know, because

366
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: they have the mics all over the place, and so

367
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: you know, you just got to be careful how much

368
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: of what you're saying it is easily detectable, and then

369
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Okay, I gotta switch that, you

370
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I think it's more about

371
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: protecting yourself and not giving everything away, you know, week

372
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: after week. But I think right now, I think i'd

373
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: go into the season and just say, look, well let's

374
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: be smart and you know, do what we do, and

375
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: then if we become a if there's a pattern that

376
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: develops or a tendency that's showing up, then I think

377
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: we have to figure out how to how to adjust

378
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: that protect that. Thank you. Final question party. James Devlin

379
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: is gone and I haven't talked. We haven't really talked

380
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: to since he's been gone. But um, when we think

381
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: of your offense over the years, you know, the mid

382
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: thousands and you know, maybe to a lesser extent the

383
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: last year or two, but uh, you know, we talk

384
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: about how you're you're able to scheme. In essence, though,

385
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: we look at James Devlin's record when he played, when

386
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 1: he was on the field at that Super Bowl. Uh,

387
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: go back to Kansas City game. A lot of big

388
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: plays and he was there. Basically the importance of the

389
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: fullback in what you do. Yeah, I think I think

390
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: Jay well, first of all, I mean, James Devlan is

391
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: one of the toughest players, most unselfish players, um, and

392
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: most versatile players we've had here, you know, in my career,

393
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: and gave a lot of himself for our team and

394
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: and and we want a lot because of it. Um.

395
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: And I think that position uh in its own you know,

396
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: just taken, you know, in its own context, you know it.

397
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: I think it really depends on who that player is. Um.

398
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: You know, if you've got a guy that's really a

399
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: tough uh, you know, kind of a bull in a

400
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: China shop mentality and go in there and block people

401
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: and create holes for the backs. Uh, that's one thing. Um.

402
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: You know, some some teams have maybe a more athletic

403
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: um an or more athletic guy and do some other

404
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: things with him. Um, you know, kind of like by

405
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: Tao was probably more suited to do. But UM, I

406
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: think that what I think, what we all try to

407
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: look for is versatility in our players and versatility in

408
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: our system. And so what that gives us the ability

409
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: to do is, you know, change gears if we feel

410
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: like the best decision to make would be to change gears.

411
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: And James always gave us that flexibility to get into

412
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: those face defensive looks and try to whatever we were doing,

413
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: pass it, run it, play action, whatever that might have been. Um,

414
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: he gave us that ability to do that, and he

415
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: afforded us the chance to do it because he was

416
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: durable and he was still tough, and so, UM, you know,

417
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: we're going to work a few people at those positions

418
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: this year and we're going to see and evaluate uh

419
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: kind of you know, what we what we can what

420
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: we can come up with. UM. I know we had

421
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: you know a year back and I believe it was fifteen,

422
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: uh when when James broke the bone in his leg

423
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: in the preseason, and you know, it's it's hard to

424
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: replace a singular guy that's that specific sometimes and you

425
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: know we kind of went away from it a little

426
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: bit that year, and UM, we'll see how much you know,

427
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 1: depth we can provide ourselves with the guys we have

428
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: on the roster. We're gonna give a lot of people

429
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: chances and see how far we can take it in training.

430
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: Can thank you, Thank you, Josh, Thanks everyone. We have

431
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: Nicole and Gardiana text yep. Thanks guys, it's great to

432
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: see you all. Stay healthy.
