1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: What's going on. Guess all right, So Tay you we'll

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: pick up on preparation for Washington, and you talk about

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: this team, you know, defensively really starts up front. They've

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: got a lot of talent in this defensive front. You know,

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: Jack and Ron do a great job with getting these

6
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: guys really after the pass. We talk about the inside

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: pressure they give obviously, the speed off the edge. You know,

8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: their backers playing very productive right now playing down behind

9
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: that front, and the secondary is doing a really good

10
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: job of playing that off quarters coverage and man coverage

11
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: and really taking opportunity to jump the ball offensively. I

12
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: think Heineke has done a really good job of really

13
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: extending plays, improvising on his feet. Gibson's obviously one of

14
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: the top targets as a runner, a screen catcher, and

15
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: then also receiver out of the backfield. You know, and

16
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: then you watch obviously mckissic alright being gone from the

17
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: lineup right, there is a change for him. But mclauren

18
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: obviously still a explosive player for them in terms of

19
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: how he plays. You know, in a kicking game, it's

20
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: about the specialisty aint some big legs, specials and explosive returners.

21
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: You know, Carter has done a good job. This year's

22
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: a return really a one cut downhill runner. We gotta

23
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: do a good job protect against their size, covering against

24
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: our speed. It's gonna say a good week of preparation

25
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: right now. But most of the guys are in the building.

26
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: We have a number of guys that are stuck right

27
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: now in traffic, have been there about for about three

28
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: hours or so. Really all the guys coming from the

29
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: city Hoboken. We hawk in type area. A number of

30
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: guys been sending us actually pictures off their phone for

31
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: about the last three hours or so that they've been stuck.

32
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: So we've had a coach in the same situation. So

33
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: we're moving on through the day as much as we can,

34
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: and we expect them to be here for the afternoon

35
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: to catch them up with whatever they miss. So being

36
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: set a going over to any questions you have, you know, Joe,

37
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: sometimes you know there's like a no excuse thing, you're late,

38
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: you're late, But in a situation like this, is that

39
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: like you couldn't have done anything, and you know, is

40
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: that with the circumstance these guys are dealing with with

41
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: the tractor trailer. You know that's crossing off both directions

42
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: to traffic. What we understand the pictures we're seeing. You know,

43
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: we've had players that we're talking about getting out of

44
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: their cars and walking. We've told them stay in the vehicle,

45
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: stay with it, will clear it on out. We've had

46
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: coaches that were stuck in as well. Um, the roads

47
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: were definitely slick today. Uh, definitely. With the time we

48
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: got the messages from the players that they were stuck in,

49
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: traffic would have been well ahead of the attendance time.

50
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: So this wasn't a deal. We had squad at seventh

51
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: thirty and people are texting at seven. This was sixty

52
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: five in the morning. Everyone's saying, look, I've been stuck.

53
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: She'd be stuck here now for a half hour or so.

54
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: You know, what do you want me to do? And

55
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: we're just tell them drive safe, stay patient. When they

56
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: get you out, get you over here. So, you know,

57
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: some of the guys that tried to stay in through meetings,

58
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: you know, through their speaker phone and things that nature

59
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: will get them. Call U when they get here. Show

60
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: up for the last game year. What do you expect

61
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: from your club in terms of focus in terms of effort,

62
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: in terms of execution, the same thing I'd expect on

63
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: the first game, bruise, the absolute same thing I expect

64
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: to our guys all time, Come and be locked in.

65
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: We're playing for each other as a team. I expect

66
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: to see them in the meetings, fully prepared, done a

67
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: good job this morning. That expect to see him in

68
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: the practices, going out there and practicing with intensity, energy

69
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: and urgency, working on fundamentals, making sure we correct any

70
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: mistakes as we go through the week, from the film

71
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: study in the next day, corrections and I expect to

72
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: see the effort from the opening kick off to the

73
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: final whist of our team. That's how we play around here.

74
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: You made a comment after the game about not even

75
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: fist fights on the sideline. Is that a reference to

76
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: what happened to Washington a couple of weeks ago? No,

77
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: I just made a comment any outward dysfunction. Um, but

78
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: my focus is on, you know, getting our team right

79
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: right now for Washington right now. You know, you can

80
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: make a lot of a lot of comments I've said

81
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: in the past, you know, right now and folks, on

82
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: getting team righty for Washington this weekend. Have you heard

83
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: about that. Have you heard about that from within? Have

84
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: you talked to ownership or anybody? Bet I talked. I

85
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: talked to ownership a good bit all the time in

86
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: terms of anything I've said, Uh no, there any changes

87
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: in Covida situations. So Woodrow Hamilton's when a practice squad

88
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: players have been placed on the list. Other than that,

89
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: all the players are back in and ramping up and

90
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: getting ready to go ahead and return. We'll see where

91
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: they are physically as far as they return, they were

92
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: in the building yesday with the trainers, as far as

93
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: moving along that path, and then they'll continue with the

94
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: ramp up today and then get them back on the

95
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: fields soon as we can. And as far as the

96
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: players still later or any of the quarterbacks in that

97
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: traffic situation, they are not there in the quarterbacks are

98
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: not involved. But there's a number of actually defensive players,

99
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: okay who a lot of those guys live in that area.

100
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: What made you decide to cut isa Wilson? You guys

101
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: who make roster moves all the time, so you know,

102
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't go into every specific, you know, individual move.

103
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: I appreciate what Isaiah did force I wish him best

104
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: of luck. And I think he's got an opportunity to

105
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: be a professional football player, and I wish him the

106
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: best wherever he goes. And uh, obviously for all the

107
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: players that played here, any hope that he may need

108
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: down the road, we'd be available for perfect various on

109
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: the field this week. Yeah, he's going to be going

110
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: through the walk throughs this today. We'll see what progresses.

111
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: He's dealing with an injury. Um, but we'll see kind

112
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: of how it progresses throughout the Weeken see his opportunity

113
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: get out there, but we do expect him today and

114
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: to practice with list. Will you, just because there's nothing

115
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: going to go the side of this game, will you

116
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: push him a little further, you know, if he's not

117
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: quite ready, just to get him out there and get

118
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 1: make this clear all the time, like the medical staff

119
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: has to tell us somebody is clear to go on

120
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: the field, to play aggressive and protect themselves. Beyond that,

121
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: I expect guys to play when they're healthy enough to play,

122
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: point blank. And I only ask one question, is an

123
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: injury risk or pain management? And that's assessment the medical

124
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: team has to make. That's not my decision to make.

125
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: So in terms of me pushing someone to get on

126
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: the field. That's not my call. Is the last chance

127
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: this year for your team to play in front of

128
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: these fans at home? What do you want the Pens

129
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: to know about this group that you work with this year?

130
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: But these guys are going through a live adversity this year.

131
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of times they could have tacked out,

132
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: but this team is into the tank every week in preparation.

133
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: They hated the tank for each other and for the

134
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: fans represent them every time they take the field. Sure

135
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: is there anything that Darius can do when the offseasons

136
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: prevent the injuries? Always it just fluky. There's a number

137
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: of things every player deals with. The nature of National

138
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: Football League is it's a long year for every rookie

139
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: in this league. It's a much longer than they've ever

140
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: had to deal with. It's much different physical demands because

141
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: of the weekend week out demands you have without the

142
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: gaps is in the college where you know you may

143
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: play you know a little sisters, the poor, they don't

144
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: play guys in the second half. Then all a sudden,

145
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: you get a bye week, then you you know, play

146
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: a rivalry game on thanks Getting weekend. Then you get

147
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: a six week break for the bowl game, then you

148
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: come out, then you have when a break, you come back,

149
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: you spring that the brakes aren't as chopped up for

150
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: the guys in this league, so just a constant managing

151
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: their He's learning how to manage their body through the

152
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: length of the season. That's something all these guys have

153
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: to learn throughout the year. And we've seen a number

154
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: of our guys do a really good job, but none

155
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: of them are where they're going to be further down

156
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: the road as a pro because they just have to

157
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: learn their bodies more and more. The best thing for

158
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: them to do is take the instruction and direction of

159
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: the people in this building that will help him. Our

160
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: training staff, our strength staff, our sports performance staff, the

161
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: older players who are leaders on this team, who set

162
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: the example in terms of how they take care of

163
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: their bodies. The best thing you can do is really

164
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: learned from those people and then push forward to stay

165
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: healthy on the field. In terms of Dais, he's had

166
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: a number of injuries. You know, I wouldn't say there's

167
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: been anything that's been um, you know, they've all been

168
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: legit injuries. There's nothing that he stayed off the field

169
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: for an extended amount of time that he couldn't play through.

170
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: And we saw this guy returned from an ankle injury

171
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: after Dallas played through, you know, until he could in

172
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: uh the Rams game, got hurt, had an issue in

173
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: the Tampa game where he had the pulled muscle and

174
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: the oblique and you know, he worked to get back

175
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: on the field and he's able to come back. He

176
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: came back and end up having another injury. These are

177
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: all things that just happened. So you know, I think

178
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for any player to do is train

179
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: their body in the off season as much as you

180
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: can to build that base of muscle and to build

181
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: that recovery for your body. The more you train, the

182
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: easier body recovers. But there are bumps and bruises that

183
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: you have to learn to manage your body throughout the

184
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: season to deal with. And that's for any rookie. You're

185
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: safe one how much you believe in the second year

186
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: off the a c L guys, are you know, significantly

187
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: better or kind of sometimes it takes guys one year

188
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: to to really get back kind of. You know, the

189
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: thing is dangerous to go ahead and group of anybody

190
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: under one category with any injury. Everybody is different. Everybody

191
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: is different, very injuries different. Um. Look, I can tell

192
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: you from experience being a much lesser athlete than safe

193
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: one of having a very similar injury to my need

194
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: that there is a length of time that it takes

195
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: to get back to a certain feeling movement. I can't

196
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: speak right for sake one, so I don't. I can't

197
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: say exactly what his body feels. And those guys worked

198
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: through a lot of things. He's dealt with different injuries

199
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: throughout the year. He's played hard through a lot of things.

200
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of toughness and grit from him

201
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: this year. Uh in terms of what next year brings,

202
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: what to see when it comes, But I know who's

203
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna work training and put himself in a position of

204
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: the best year possible. I think for him it's just

205
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: a matter of like getting healthy. Like is that I mean,

206
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: we didn't we haven't seen you know, the sake mind

207
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: that he was in or whatever. So is it just

208
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: for him a matter of we just need to get

209
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: him healthy? That's probably better question I say upon directly.

210
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: What I can speak on is what I've seen for

211
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: him in terms of how he's worked on and off

212
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: the field do anything for the team of that. We're

213
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: very pleased, how Ben official for him kind of an

214
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: off season without rehab, you know, without without going through

215
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: that extended a cl pleshab process. Well, for any player

216
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: coming off with an injury, the following season of having

217
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: an all season without that rehab process is very beneficial.

218
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: It's just that's naturally what it is. Where you can

219
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: go out there and train your body. You're on a

220
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: different schedule in terms of what you can do. You know,

221
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: the rehab and recovery is it's a very you know, exhausting,

222
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: strenuous process. It really is. It's not that you just

223
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: come in, lay up all day, get ice on your

224
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: near whatever it may be. And then also you got

225
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: there back of the field, You've got to work extremely

226
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: hard on everything. But the process of coming back from

227
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: something like that takes a lot of physical and mental

228
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: toughness to push through it. Okay, people don't realize that

229
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: when you go through injuries like a lot of these

230
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: guys deal with, that ends their season and that the

231
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: season is over as far as the fans seeing them,

232
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: But the process for them getting back on the field

233
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: is really just beginning when they get hurt and it

234
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: never really stops. And once you have an injury like that,

235
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: the rest of your career, you're always doing something preventive

236
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: for it. You know, anytime you guys a salt tissue

237
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: injury we're talking about, always treat it like your hamstring

238
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: or cap for whatever it is, is always hurt. You

239
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: have to treat that on the front and to make

240
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: sure it doesn't become an issue when a guy's coming off,

241
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, something that requires some kind of reconstructive surgery,

242
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: they've got to always make sure they take they take

243
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: h time and they take the right process to support

244
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: everything around that injury, to keep everything else stronger. So

245
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: the work that goes in only gets volume up and

246
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: amplified as you go through your career. But you know,

247
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: when you come off that second year, as far as

248
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: just the off season and the approach, it's a whole

249
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: lot different than previous year. What we had. Last year

250
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: you would to the last game with with a chance

251
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, right, you knew you had to

252
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: win and other things had to happen. Um in New England,

253
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: you always went into the week last week with a

254
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: playoff situation. So how difficult. Is this for you and

255
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: for a team? Do you think to know this is

256
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: the end? Um? No, undn't accomplished goals and things like that,

257
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: and just you know this, you've never done this before.

258
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: We always talked about playing every game, regardless of the

259
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: situational circumstances, playing every play, every series, every game the

260
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: same way. So this is no different. Okay, I'm not

261
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna be hypocritical in front of the team and talking

262
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: about playing every situation the same way with the same intensity, urgency,

263
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: and effort, and then turn around the end and say, well,

264
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: this is just different. We're only given seventeen games a year,

265
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: so you're giving guy, you get seventeen opportunities to go

266
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: out there. You have to make the most every opportunity.

267
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: That's I expected a team, so I expected the coaches.

268
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it? I mean human nature? Is it

269
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: easier said than done? Do you have to work harder?

270
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when your team is getting ready,

271
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: you know there's going to be an eighteen nine team.

272
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: You know that that's the incentive with these guys. Do

273
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: you have to kind of make sure they're you know,

274
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: they are invested? You know, knowing that you're packing up

275
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: after this game. That's all the work you do throughout

276
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: spring training camp, in the first part of the season.

277
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: That doesn't come in a week eight team where now

278
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: you're trying to go ahead and commence guys to go.

279
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: You've got to build a team a certain way. You know.

280
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: I talked very openly the other day about that. Okay,

281
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: so when you build the base the right way in

282
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: the front end, you're not concerned about our guys gonna

283
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: show up to work this week. You your coach who

284
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: believes in practicing, and the elements. I know obviously this

285
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: morning you gifted inside. Can you just take us through

286
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: the process of what you Yeah, real simple. Frozen fields,

287
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: it's the only thing we're staying off right now at

288
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: the pace of practice we're going on today. The fields

289
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: are frozen in the middle. So we'll do the first

290
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: walk through today inside, let the fields to frost. Hopefully

291
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: we'll be back outside today. You know, there's a forecast

292
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: of possible rain this weekend, so any opportunity to get

293
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,920
