1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Tell you obviously have changed over time, but how do

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: you handle the expectations of the first padded practice in

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: the sense of protecting the players from themselves?

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we got to practice well with one another,

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: stay off the ground, but get our fundamental work in.

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 3: You know.

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: There's usually some excitement from the players, but you have

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: to do a good job of making sure you don't

9
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: lose your technique, you don't fundamentals. The energy is always good,

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: usually the first day of pads, but you've got to

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: make sure we're doing things the right way.

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 4: Everything starts up the guy in terms.

13
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 2: Of yeah, yeah, you know, you have to have you

14
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: have to be strong upfront on both sides, you know,

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: And this is really the first true evaluation of the

16
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: players knowing what to do and being able to do

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: it without the pads on.

18
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 3: But now you know, seeing the physical.

19
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: Part of it is important, and look forward to practice today.

20
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 5: What your view on fights. I think some coaches are

21
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 5: like zero tolerance. Other coaches don't hate to see it.

22
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there's any Yeah, I don't want

23
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: to fight in practice. To me, it's undisciplined fifteen yard penalties.

24
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: I understand it's a competitive situation, but you can't do

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: it any games. So being able to maintain your composure

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: and be disciplined I think is important. Now that being said,

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever been in a camp,

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: whether there wasn't one or but certainly something that we

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: don't want to do.

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Of course, are how do you continue that mentality of

31
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: winning close games in training camp? How does that work?

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: Well, we're just getting ready to go today, so it's

33
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: you we got we had a long way to go

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: here before we play some games, you know, in the

35
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: regular season. I think that's developed over time, the chemistry

36
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: within a group, being able to execute under pressure and

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: accounts the most, usually in the fourth quarter.

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: So those are things you know constantly work on. One

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: who coming back around? Yeah, so Ryan will be back.

40
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: Uh tight end, Uh, shep will work today.

41
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: I think everything else status quo. Ho he won, So

42
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: he's hurt. I just got a little thing we're just

43
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: working through.

44
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 5: It is your personal philosophy change on how you practice

45
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 5: whippads over the course of.

46
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: Your toture career.

47
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: No, I mean we got to do a again. We

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: got to do a good job of taking care of

49
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: one another. Will also being to evaluate the players, and

50
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 2: the players got to have mutual respect for.

51
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: For one another.

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: I mean it's not like you want to have offensive

53
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: lineman go out there and clean the pocket guys Russian

54
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: or somebody jumps and to put them on the ground,

55
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: or tackling ball carriers when they're not expecting to be tackled.

56
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: Stay away from the quarterback.

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: But you know, work on your fundamentals the right way,

58
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 2: your techniques, and obviously it's always going to be more physical,

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: particularly in between the lines.

60
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: Any live tackling this camp, we're not going today, obviously,

61
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: said Trey Hawkins. Working with the first team yesterday. Why

62
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: what do you want to see from him?

63
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: Well, I think he's earned you know, he had a

64
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: couple of good days, so gave him an opportunity. We'll

65
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: try to do that with all the positions. And you know,

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: every day is an evaluation. So if we think you've

67
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: earned an opportunity to do.

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: It, that's that's what we did. It's his birthday today.

69
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 5: By the way, a door he bumped in for a

70
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 5: couple of those in the slides that could you see

71
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 5: that being the case during the season.

72
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: We'll see That's why we're using all these combinations. Yeah,

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: so it'll be different. It's been different, you know throughout camp.

74
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: We'll just keep rotating them.

75
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 5: But I just mean, I can I think people can

76
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 5: both played outside, Like you're saying that's at least a possibility.

77
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean that's first day we did.

78
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: It was yesterday, So we've got to keep practicing different combinations.

79
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: Like in the spring. Bobby Johnson said he was really

80
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: looking forward to seeing John Michael Schmitz when the pads

81
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: came on. As you get into pads, are these big

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: days for him?

83
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think they're big days for everybody.

84
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: But again, this is this is really where the evaluation process,

85
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: the physical evaluation process happens for the offense and defensive lines.

86
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: In those one on one battles, what might you be

87
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: looking for? And the defensive and offensive lines, well, they

88
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: each have different jobs.

89
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: So you know, protecting the quarterback inside out and keeping

90
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,559
Speaker 2: the depth and the width from the interior, get movement

91
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: in the running game, and then controlling the line of scrimmage,

92
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: getting off blockers in the run game, and affecting the quarterback. Again,

93
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: you can only affect the quarterback so much because you

94
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: want the guys to stay away from the quarterback and

95
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: these type of practices. You know, whether you hit a

96
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: thumb or get too close, but you got a good

97
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: feel when you watch the tape of of guys are

98
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: executing their assignments and responsibilities.

99
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: Michael was you know, I'm taking her most recent practice

100
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: he was with the first team, which I guess that

101
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: would have been Ben's.

102
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't read it.

103
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: I wouldn't read into I wouldn't read into what day

104
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: it is or what period it is.

105
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: We're going to rotate. Everybody could be a little different.

106
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: Each day, could be a little different each practice during

107
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: the periods.

108
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: Regarding that when you are switching guys, moving guys around,

109
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 5: isn't something you taught to players beforehand or you just

110
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 5: kind of throw it out there practice like.

111
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: It would be.

112
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: They know, yeah, they know, they know there's competition, and

113
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 2: you know, their job is to go out there and

114
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: perform their best whatever role we ask them to do.

115
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: What's it like happened to Sterling out there for the

116
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: group because.

117
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: He's a leader, just provides a lot of energy, you know,

118
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: it's a very good teammate. Obviously he's bounced back from

119
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: a few injuries and I think all the guys are

120
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: appreciative for him. What he does for the team changed

121
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: it gear a little bit.

122
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 3: Durell Reebis going to the Hall of Famous week and

123
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: he coached against him in practices and games.

124
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 5: What was it like trying to trying to figure out

125
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 5: an offense.

126
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: When he was on the feldh Yeah, one of the best.

127
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: You know, you didn't want to challenge him too often.

128
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: He was.

129
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: Usually pretty tight on the players that you know, our receivers.

130
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: And I was with him when we drafted him New York.

131
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: I was with him at New England. You know, humble,

132
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: humble person. Ah, really really good player. Again, you just

133
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: you had to be careful thrown at him too.

134
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: Much thinking of young talented players. How excited all you

135
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: have Akvan from the first year now going into a

136
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: second camp.

137
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know a lot of those, whether it's Kevon

138
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: or Neil or some of the other guy's belt and

139
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: I know he was injured Beavers. I mean it's always Ah,

140
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: you know, you hope you make a good jump from

141
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: from year one to year two, not just forduction wise,

142
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: but again, I've I've talked about this before. You come

143
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: out in the draft and you know It's not a

144
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: typical off season for a player, so he had a

145
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: whole off season to work improve physically mentally.

146
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: So excited for him going back to the defensive line.

147
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 4: I've heard from a few guys about stopping the run

148
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 4: being a priority. Do you agree that that's you know,

149
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: a point of memphais for you guys in with that, like,

150
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: how do you really go about sort of doing that

151
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: in practice when you're obviously trying.

152
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 3: To Yeah, I mean we've worked on that since spring.

153
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: I can't do it as much physically, but run fit drills,

154
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: run blitzes, technique. It really takes everybody to stop the

155
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: run chasing the football. You know, it's something we've worked

156
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: on last year or something we need to improve, something

157
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: will work on this.

158
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: Year with those young guys in their second year. I

159
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: know Evan Neil talked about the weight and you know,

160
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: the sure the work he put in. How much of

161
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 3: you seen any difference from him on the field.

162
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, the first five without pads on, I think

163
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: he's done a good job. He's again, he's second year

164
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: in the system. I think things slow down a little

165
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: bit for him.

166
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: You know, it would be a good few few weeks

167
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: here with the pads.

168
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: On better though, or like done a nice job getting

169
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: off quicker at the line of scrimming.

170
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, he's done a nice job. You know, we'll

171
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: see how all translates here with the Pats. But he's done.

172
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: He's had a good five days of you know, of practice.

173
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: When you'll go pads, you know, when you'll go pads

174
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: in the next block Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I'd have.

175
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: To, I'd have to go back and look. Yeah, I mean,

176
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: that's what we got tomorrow. And again, we just kind.

177
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: Of reassess where we're at out there today and we'll

178
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: handle it going forward. I don't know if this is

179
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 2: a Joe thing or for you, but the NFL I think,

180
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 2: is going to allow a third.

181
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: Quarterback on the roster. How are you gonna do that

182
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: this year? I mean, do you just scout the league

183
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: or yeah? I think when.

184
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: Look, we're always scout in the league. No matter what,

185
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 2: I think, Joe and his staff do a great job.

186
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: And you know, when we have to make those decisions,

187
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: that's when we'll making
