1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Porning coach. We're gonna start with you have an opening comment,

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: and then we'll fall up with questions from all right, okay,

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,239
Speaker 1: well players are off today, so um, you know, let's

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: give a you know, give them a little chance. We've

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: had a couple, you know, a couple of um, good

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: work days here, uh you know, several in the past

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: week or so, so this will give us a good

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: chance to uh got to get a little rest or

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: recover a little bit here and then um, you know,

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: be ready to go, um you know, for for a

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: couple more sessions here before we have to reduce our

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: roster and then you know, fully turn our attention to Miami.

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: So um from a staff standpoint, also, you know, gives

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: us a chance to kind of get caught up on

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: a few things here that I have I'm piling up

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: and obviously some of the decisions that that will have

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: to make, so we get a little bit of a

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: head to start on some of those conversations and so forth.

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: But I thought we had a couple of good days

20
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: here at the start of the week, and um, you know,

21
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: it's good to good to see those starting to string

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: together a little bit. Um. Obviously, still have a long,

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: long way to go, but UM players have worked hard. Um,

24
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: they've really you know, improved a lot from UM not

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: only where we started, but you know, even even a

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: few days ago. So that's encouraging. And I think we

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: can maintain our work ethic and um our discipline and

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: continue to build that consistency, then you know we'll be

29
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: on the right track. Even though it's gonna be a

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: long it'll be a long trip. So UM, all right,

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: first question, Mike please fall by Allen Sequel. Right, good

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: morning bill, Um. What have you seen from the competition

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: at wide receiver and when putting together that group? How

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: much consideration is there given to like you want a

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: diversity of skill sets or not having the same type

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: of like five ten you know whatever, just pick a

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: skip a physical trait. You don't want five five ten

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: seventy five pound guys, or maybe you do. I don't

39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: know how much consideration is given to something like that, right, Well,

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: I think the the second question first, UM, you know,

41
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: more than the than the physical skill set, really is

42
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: the position that that the receivers play. So you know,

43
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: we have outside receivers, we have inside receivers, and then

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: you know a receivers that can let's say, play both

45
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: or have some combination of skills that where they can

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: play both spots. So um, all three are important. I

47
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: mean some guys can be outside only, some guys can

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: be inside only. UM, some guys can have that flexibility.

49
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: In the end, I think it's really more about production

50
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: and performance. Um, although you know size and skill set

51
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: plays a part in that as well. So UM, you

52
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: know there they are related. But you know, really the

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: most important thing is to is to be productive. So

54
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, we've we've had them in different

55
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: shapes and sizes. We had Dion Branch and Randy Moss

56
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: and they are both outside receivers and you know it

57
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: could be more different. So UM, you know, but I

58
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: think you know, the typical the typical stature of certain

59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: positions is um, you know, I think we that can

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: be identified. But you know, if there's an exception to

61
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: that and the guy's a good player, then UM that's

62
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: okay too. Um competition at that position has been been good.

63
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: UM you know it's it's uh as always that's the

64
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: type of position where you can really um see you know,

65
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: an individual, you know, a highlight play or or a

66
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: play that may not be um as good, you know,

67
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: a drop ball or or a spectacular catch. Uh. And

68
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: those players or those players are a lot more visible

69
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: and and really easily identify identifiable relative to you know,

70
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: an interior line play or that type of thing. Now again,

71
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: with that position, it's important to develop consistency. And there's

72
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: a lot of times receivers are open and the balls

73
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: thrown to the other side of the field or they're covered,

74
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: and so that that's all part of it too. It's

75
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: not just those highlight plays that everybody sees, but really

76
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: the evaluation of the player's consistency to you know, win

77
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: his route or you know, block the player that he's

78
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: supposed to block in a running game as part of

79
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: the run force and so forth. So it's I think

80
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that that position that

81
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 1: are are subtle to the naked eye, and it really

82
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: comes down to, you know, again that play after play consistency.

83
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: You know, the highlight plays stand out, but U and

84
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: they're important to one way or the other. But I

85
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: would say the consistency overaull is is also something that

86
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: you can't lose sight of. Next question, thanks day, Well,

87
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: all right, I was wondering. I mean, they're talking about

88
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: the fifty three here. Um, with no work against other

89
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: teams this year out of necessity, have you had to

90
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: change at all the criteria that you use for evaluating

91
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: the strength and the weaknesses in terms of, you know,

92
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: setting up that final roster, and has it because of

93
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: no work been a little bit more difficult than normal? Well,

94
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: I think there are a little more few more questions

95
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: than normal, Yes, just because, um, you know, it's just

96
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: less less to evaluate. Um. So that's always the case

97
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: anytime you have less information, UM, it's a little probably

98
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: you're a little less certain than you are when you

99
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: have more information. Um. Again, we've dealt with this before,

100
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: where players might play in you know, one or sometimes

101
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: no preseason games, uh, and then you're you know, kind

102
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: of left in that same spot. You know, they practice

103
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: for a week or so and then come back at

104
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: the end of preseason, but you know either aren't able

105
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: to play or don't play in the last preseason game,

106
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: and you know, it's the same conversation we're having right now.

107
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: So we've been there before. But usually that's with us, Uh,

108
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, a limited number of players this year, so

109
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: with everybody so we'll just have to take the information

110
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: that we have, the competition that we've had on the field,

111
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: both in you know, one on one drills and group

112
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: drills and team drills, and you know, also there's some

113
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: things that we do that our opponents don't do as

114
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: much of. So a player may look a little better

115
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: or maybe a little worse against our team based on

116
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: what he's working against and what we do than maybe

117
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: what the norm is out there. So um, you know,

118
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: we have to take that into consideration as well. It's

119
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of projection, but um, you know, and

120
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: other teams you know have the same, you know, kind

121
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: of the same conversation, so you know, we're all we're

122
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: all playing on the same field. We just have to

123
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: do the best we can with the information and knowledge

124
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: that we have and make the decisions that we feel

125
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: our best with the team and um, and so that's

126
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: what we'll try to do here in the next few days.

127
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: Next question Jimmy bride Fall by Tom Kerr. Morning, Coach.

128
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of guys take reps at the

129
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: two return spots, and I'm wondering how you you have

130
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: liked the competition for those two roles. UM. Yeah, that's uh,

131
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, the similar question really to what Alan just asked. Uh.

132
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: And you know that as the return position in particular

133
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: is a little bit like the running back position, It's

134
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: it's really hard to uh tell how those guys do

135
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: with the ball in their hands based on the limited

136
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: amount of live tackling we've done as a team. Now

137
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: we've done individual tackling and fundamental tackling, but we've we've

138
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: limited the live tackling up and UM. And that's really

139
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: where those guys excel, right as in the open field

140
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: with the ball in their hands, can they make the

141
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 1: first guy miss? Can they you know, gain extra yards

142
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: in the open field with their return skills? How do

143
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: they handle the ball the you know, decision making with

144
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: guys on them or um fair catching and you know

145
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: so forth setting up blocks and and you know, showing

146
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: their strength or quickness or run the instincts UM in

147
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: a live setting as opposed to a you know, team

148
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: setting where generally we're tagging off UM. So it's that

149
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: it makes that a little bit of a tougher evaluation. UM.

150
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: And that's again we'll just have to do the best

151
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: that we can there. But I think that we have,

152
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, a number of players that uh, you know,

153
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: have shown promise in practice. Um, I think that's a

154
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: little it's a leap of faith that just go from

155
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: practice to the game, especially at that position. Uh. You know,

156
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: Troy I think has done a great job of working

157
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: with those guys, and they've improved tremendously uh in the

158
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: month last month in terms of their ball handling, decision making,

159
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: overall technique, awareness of the coverage distribution and what to do.

160
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: So we're catching the ball better, we're making better decisions,

161
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: we're doing more things right and understanding what to do right.

162
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: But you know, what that'll really look like in in

163
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: live competition is a little hard to say with certainty.

164
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Um So UM, it's it'll be a you know, there'll

165
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: be a couple of tough decisions. How we're going to

166
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: handle that. We've already talked about that relative to those

167
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: players who also have skill at other positions, so we're

168
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: not just talking about um guys that are just you know,

169
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: pure returners. So you evaluate the return ability versus another

170
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: player who you know, does something else, plays defense or

171
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: is a receiver or running back or whatever happens to be.

172
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: Like all the guys that are talking about have other

173
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: skills as well, So it'll really be a combination of

174
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: UM factors that go into that decision and in that

175
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: competition which makes it um. You know that that'll make

176
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: it for you know, some interesting UM discussions here in

177
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: the next couple of days. But it's a competitive spot

178
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: and it'll probably be a you know, i'd say not

179
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: a maybe a clearer cut. Uh. You know, we're gonna

180
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: have to see how this goes a little bit. And

181
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: obviously we have a couple of guys back there with experience, uh,

182
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: you know obvious Julian you know, as a punt returners

183
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: has done that throughout his career. But you know that's

184
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: something that we've we haven't used him as much on

185
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: as in the past, and I think that's probably the

186
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: right thing to do, although we'll certainly, you know, need

187
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: his availability at some point, I'm sure. Thank you. Yep,

188
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: you're welcome. My next question Tom kurtin fall back Field.

189
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: Pre Hey, Bill Um. This kind of flows off a

190
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: little bit of what Jim was asking, is, you know,

191
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: with the lack of the full contact, how are you

192
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: and your staff grappling with the idea that perhaps that

193
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: first game against Miami will be the first time in

194
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: which guys are tackled to the ground, and they that

195
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: might be a big week for guys, you know, in

196
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: terms of contested catches, getting hit, quarterbacks, etc. And even

197
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: for the defensive players to be able to finish and

198
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: follow through on their hips and get guys to the ground.

199
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: Is there going to be a point at which you

200
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: give kind of a window for these guys to hit

201
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: or how how are you approaching that? Yeah, Well, we've

202
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: had plenty of contact in practice, UM, so I wouldn't

203
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: say that that's an area that we're necessarily deficient in. UM.

204
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: You know, the contact in the game is a little

205
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: bit different. UM. And we've dealt with you know, really,

206
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: i'd say all kinds of contact, UM. And we've live tackled,

207
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: we've tackled guys to the ground, but we've done it

208
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: in a more of a one on one setting as

209
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: opposed to UM, you know, game conditions. Now we've done

210
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: some of the game additions too. We've you know, tackled

211
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: live as a team and in a few selected drills,

212
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: but um, not not extensively so and that's for the

213
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: safety of the players. And but we we have had contact,

214
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: and we've had contact, and we've tackled, and the runners

215
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: of you know, taking contact with the ball in their

216
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: hands and the tacklers have you know, had to get

217
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: guys on the ground like we're gonna have to do. Um.

218
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm sure that's a skill that we'll

219
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: we'll have to acquire a little bit um as the

220
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: as we always do. I mean, it's similar in preseason. Honestly,

221
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: if you look at you know, how many tackles some

222
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: of the guys that uh, you know play a lot

223
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: in a regular season making preseason um, you know, I

224
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: don't think you're talking about you know, numbers that are

225
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: up in the dozens and the hundreds or anything like that.

226
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: You know, be a couple here and there, but that's

227
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, that's really about what it is. So um, well,

228
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: we'll be less than that. But uh, I would say

229
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: that's not it's not a whole lot different than what

230
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: it what it normally is. So we'll have to see

231
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: how it goes. But I think we've I think we've

232
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: prepared our players for that. I think they've had their

233
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: opportunities to feel the contact and to feel as close

234
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: to game reps as we can get without playing a game. Um,

235
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: there's another level to that that we'll all have to experience.

236
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: But I don't think we're I think we'll be prepared

237
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: to take that next step and then we'll have to

238
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: refine it from there. I don't think it'll be perfect,

239
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: but I think it'll be competitive and and we'll continue

240
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: to work and approve on it. And it was just

241
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: real quick. To follow up, Joe Judge actually had Daniel

242
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: Jones take off the red jersey just to get him

243
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: jostled around a little bit. Would you do that involved

244
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: with your quarterbacks? Do you think, Yeah, we'll do what

245
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: we think is best for the team, Tom SAMs, they

246
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: always do. Next question, Phil Perry fall By good time.

247
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: I know, I'm not sure if if this is a

248
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: continuation of a similar discussion here from the last couple questions,

249
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: But but I am curious because we've talked a couple

250
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: of times this offseason about the similarities and differences between

251
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: this year in twenty eleven, and one thing I noticed

252
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: about twenty eleven is that it just looked like the

253
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: offensive numbers from early in that season we're pretty high.

254
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: I think there were some historically good numbers, especially in

255
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: terms of the passing game early that year. And I'm

256
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: curious if if you remember anything about that year, if

257
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: there was a trend that year that that led to

258
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: that offensive sort of output, and if you have to

259
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: be aware of that going into this next season and

260
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, guarding against something similar maybe potentially happening. Yeah, well,

261
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'd say we're going to try to you know,

262
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: we're going to try to perform well in all three

263
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: areas of the game offense, defense, and special teams. So

264
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: that's that's what our goal and objectives are, and that's

265
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: what we're going to try to do. I think, you know,

266
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: anytime you have a high offensive output, that output that's

267
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: a combination of good offense and probably bad defense and

268
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: vice versa. A lot of times when you have low

269
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: offensive output, it's a combination of good defense and bad offense. So, um,

270
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to eliminate as many you know, bad

271
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: plays as we can and try to have as many

272
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: good plays as we can, so you know, we'll see

273
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: what happens. I don't want to live in the past

274
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: and worry about the past. I want us to try

275
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: to be as good as we can be at all

276
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: the things that we do, and that's that's what we're

277
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: gonna try to do. Did you think that did you

278
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: think that that may have had anything to do with

279
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: maybe limitations when it comes to tackling and things like

280
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: that bill that year. Yeah, again, you know, there's so

281
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: many individual situations that we could talk about there. You know,

282
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'd have to go back in and

283
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: study it more closely. But again I would say when

284
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: you have high offensive output, I mean, certainly credit would

285
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: go to the offense for their execution, but I would

286
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: say on quivocally that there's also some bad defense in

287
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: there that goes with that good offense and vice versa.

288
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: So you know, in the end, great players are going

289
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: to make some great plays and uh, you know, they're

290
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: hard to defend. But when you don't play good defense

291
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: and you just give up easy plays, then that's you know,

292
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: that's not really a statement of you know, great offensive football. Necessarily,

293
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: it's more bad defensive football. So you know, we'll see, Yeah,

294
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't know, we'll see how it goes.

295
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for much ice to those we don't get too,

296
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: but well I'm done tied. You're the last question, I'm

297
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: wondering bell Wise acknowledged that he bulked up a little

298
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: bit this offseason. Would that allow him to either move

299
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: around a little bit more or potentially played different positions

300
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: on your defense. I know it might be kind of minimal,

301
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: but how much of an impact does that make? Well?

302
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: I think, Uh, you know, Dietrich is a very unique player.

303
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: He has such a big frame and a good frame that, um,

304
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's the type player that can that can

305
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: put on you know, a significant amount of weight based

306
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 1: on the scale, uh, and not not really looked too

307
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: much different. Um. So, and I think that's really been

308
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: the case, you know, I know we've we talked about that,

309
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: uh when the season's over. We talked about it several

310
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: times since then. And but I think the weight that

311
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: he's put on has been good weight. Um. He's worked

312
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: hard at it, and he doesn't look a lot different

313
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: than than what he looked like before or a last

314
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: year at a lower weight. So, um, I think his

315
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: his play has improved. Um. You know, I think some

316
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: of that's due to technique and experience, but you know,

317
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: he has a little bit bigger and a little bit stronger.

318
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: So I don't think that's Um, I think that's a

319
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 1: good thing, not a bad thing. But uh, you know,

320
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: in the end, I think the major improvement in his

321
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: play from what I've seen so far this year in

322
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: training camp has has been you know, his technique, how

323
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: quickly he reads and reacts and recognize his plays, and

324
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: and just being you know, a better you know, improving

325
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: in some of the fundamentals. You know, he's a very

326
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: hard worker, and he's the type of kid that when

327
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: you ask him to work on something, uh, he really

328
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: goes all in and makes a strong commitment to try

329
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: to improve it and make it better. And UM, and

330
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,760
