Nathan's the guy 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 3: that screwed that all up. I really don't have an 14 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 3: opening statement. So if you guys want to start, you 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 3: can start. 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: Sure, he can. 17 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: I think what you see is elite playmaking ability that's 18 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 3: in him. You've seen it, We've seen it. You saw 19 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 3: it in college, you saw it on tape last year. Sure, 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 3: there's there's a ways to go, but what rookie isn't 21 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 3: I mean, what first year player doesn't have a long 22 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 3: way to go. So I'm excited to get started with 23 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: him and all of our quarterbacks. 24 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 2: And all of our players. 25 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 4: Do you feel like you have to have QB one 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,639 Speaker 4: set going in the training camp or is that something 27 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 4: you open You. 28 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: Know, you would hope that that's the case. 29 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 3: You would hope that by the time you get to 30 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 3: training camp that the reps that you're giving to a 31 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 3: quarterback is for your starter. Whether we get to that place, 32 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,919 Speaker 3: I don't know, that'll be determined in the off season 33 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: as part of it. 34 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: It's just another part of the piece. 35 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 5: Competitions. 36 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: Sure, I think it's an open competition. I mean I 37 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 3: I don't know why it wouldn't be an open competition. 38 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: And I don't mean that saying it harshly, but I 39 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 3: don't think there's enough on film over the last couple 40 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: of years. 41 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 2: One way or the other to say, way we. 42 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 3: Have a starter quarterback yet, whether internally or externally, I 43 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 3: wouldn't say it's important to But we're going to do 44 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 3: our due diligence to make sure that our roster that 45 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 3: we put ourselves in the best position we can to 46 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 3: score points, which is starts with that position. 47 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 5: Familiarize yourself with the entire video. 48 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: No. 49 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: Starting this week when we get back, we'll have a 50 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,399 Speaker 3: chance to I think I have a pretty good idea. Offensively, 51 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 3: that's probably where it started in terms of as we're 52 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 3: getting closer to free agency, and but I'll get it. 53 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 3: I'll get a chance the next few weeks to be 54 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 3: able to take a deeper dive into the whole. 55 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 6: Rosters, so different styles and quarterbaccess schools. 56 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 7: But you mentioned the one thing you look kind of 57 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 7: like when you're evaluating. 58 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 6: Gods, especially front of college, what are like the trees that. 59 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 3: You well, first off, anybody that's coming out in the draft, 60 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: quarterback or any position, you've got to do a great job, 61 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: which our scouting department does, of vetting people that have 62 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: been around them for an extended period of time, because 63 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 3: twenty minutes or an interview h doesn't do it justice. 64 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to make sure that the people 65 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 3: that they've been around are able to say that the 66 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: words that you're looking for in terms of how they 67 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: carry themselves, how they are on a day to day basis, 68 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: how they are on their teammates, how are they third downs, 69 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 3: two minutes, critical situations. All of that comes into play. 70 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: Andrew yesterday talked about your. 71 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 8: Preferences on your talking regards of them more. 72 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: Movement or any of those kinds of things, or are 73 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 2: you just looking for the best players of those portions. 74 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: Well, it's like every every position, right, big, fast, physical, 75 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 3: can move, can poll, can all those things you're going 76 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: to look for ideally, but ultimately, like I've told them, 77 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 3: is take the best players that will make it work. Now, 78 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 3: it's a little bit different when you're talking about tackle 79 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 3: garden center and the differences in terms of their skill set. 80 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: But I think you can win with power guards. I 81 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: think you can win with lighter guards that can pull 82 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 3: and get on the perimeter. I think you can win 83 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: with tackles that you know can play with power and 84 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: ones that you'd rather have a wide zone scheme. To me, 85 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 3: what you're looking for most of all is consistency, because 86 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: you can coach around if they're tough and they're consistent, 87 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 3: and I think you can coach around that and scheme that. 88 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 3: But if they're not, they're not physically tough consistently and 89 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: their day to day is inconsistent, very hard game day. 90 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 4: Deer Society is almost all returning coaches from last year. 91 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 4: Said for Mike and then the office side, it seems 92 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 4: like it's a lot more guys coming. 93 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: What's that mission process? 94 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 4: Like of mission, different personalities, different backgrounds. 95 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: Of a whole that together. Well, that's part of it. 96 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: I mean, I do think when you're trying to when 97 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: you're putting a staff together, there's you're talking about developers, 98 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: and then they're schemers. I mean there's and then if 99 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: you're lucky enough to find guys that are elite at 100 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 3: developing and scheming, a lot of times the end up 101 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: being coordinators are head coaches. So you've got to have 102 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: a great mix of those two that not only develop 103 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: your roster, but then game day or during the week 104 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 3: leading up to game day, you put your best foot 105 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: forward in terms of tactically at getting after opponents. So 106 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 3: I think we've got a great mix of this. But 107 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 3: this is also the NFL, and everybody's paid to do 108 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: a job, so the mix is real simple, right. I Mean, 109 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 3: we'll never forget that we have a job for our 110 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: players and developing our players and coming up with the 111 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: best plan possible, and that mixing part of it. I've 112 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: never been around where it doesn't work that way. And 113 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: if someone doesn't mix, then we pivot and. 114 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 9: Go the other way. 115 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, he became highly recommended by people 116 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 3: that I respect in the profession. 117 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: That was first and foremost. 118 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 3: We were looking for somebody that had been a part 119 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 3: of the same system or scheme, four down attack style defense, 120 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 3: and so we interviewed. We started with that because you're 121 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 3: going to start people that were a part of that, 122 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 3: coaches that were a part of that scheme, and see 123 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 3: if they fit what we're looking for in terms of 124 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 3: leaving the men in that room on that side of 125 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 3: the ball, or you interview others that aren't really part 126 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 3: of that scheme but you feel like are the right 127 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: guys in front of the players and our staff but 128 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: would learn that style. We found a number of candidates 129 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 3: we thought fit that. And when he interviewed, his energy, 130 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: his juice, his vision for not only what we had 131 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: from a player's standpoint, but what they've done the past 132 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 3: and how he felt like he could take another step forward, 133 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: and he just popped, what's that? 134 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: How much time do we have? 135 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 7: Ah? 136 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 3: He's elite in a lot of areas. I've said this 137 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 3: many times. He's got a gift for confronting anything that 138 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: gets in the way of winning football without being confrontational. 139 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: He just does It's unique. He doesn't let it linger. 140 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 3: He'll come right down the hall and say this isn't 141 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 3: good enough? What can we do to change it? Where 142 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: are we at? And the other thing is the off seasons. 143 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: No joke, John, it's football every day, man, it is 144 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 3: how are we going to get better? Every year I 145 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 3: was with the Ravens, it was offense two point zero, 146 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: offense three point Oh, what are we. 147 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: Going to do to improve? Take advantage of our player's 148 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: skill set? 149 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 3: So he's just he's NonStop, he's about winning football. 150 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 2: John Hm. Of course, I mean, of course. 151 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 3: I mean I was hopeful that I would get the 152 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns head coaching John. That'd be silly to say 153 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: that I wasn't hopeful of that, but I was excited 154 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 3: to go to New York with. 155 00:08:49,280 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 2: Coach like Man, we get a Chip Lindsay question from Missouri. 156 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: Well, first off, Chip Lindsay, we hired him from Spain 157 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 3: Park High School. He was Nick Mullins high school coach 158 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 3: who still plays for the Jaguars, and so we hired 159 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: him at Southern miss Philosophically we were aligned at that time. 160 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 2: We were running air raid. I mean, it's four wide, 161 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: you're throwing it around. 162 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 3: Minimal run schemes, and he fit what we were looking 163 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 3: for at that time. But he's an elite football coach, 164 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 3: connects with the players, great staff guy, adaptable systematically, He's 165 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 3: not aligned. 166 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: To just one scheme. 167 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 3: And we would have never done what we did at 168 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: Southern Miss without him because I turned the play calling 169 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 3: over to him and allowed me to be a hell 170 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 3: of a. 171 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: Lot better head coach for space time. 172 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 3: He came up to the office a few weeks ago 173 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 3: and uh, we try to talk him into it right then, 174 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: I mean, but he was not in that position yet 175 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 3: to say one to come back. I'm for really good 176 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 3: football players, and I'm for really good football players that 177 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 3: are wired like Joel. There's not many wired like Joel. 178 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 3: Like what he says, how he carries himself, how he prepares. 179 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's unbelievable. He's he's a he's a rare. 180 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: I mean, how many years he played? How many years 181 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 3: was it that he's played now twelve years? And the 182 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: pounding he's taken and continue to play at such a 183 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 3: high level. 184 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: Coach, Oh, I don't, I don't. I'm not very good 185 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: at talking about me. I don't know. Maybe a lot 186 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 2: of guys are. I don't. I don't know. I just 187 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: it's coaching football. I think anytime that you have a 188 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: player that at one time has exhibited the skill set 189 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: at an elite level, I think you're always going to 190 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 2: give them the benefit of the doubt that somehow we 191 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: might be able to get that out of them again. 192 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: And I think that's how you should look at every player. 193 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 3: I've said that. You guys have heard me say it. 194 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna let it play out. I think it'd be 195 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 3: completely unfair, just like it would be in any classroom setting, 196 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 3: be it a history exam, and all the students walk in, 197 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 3: and before they're actually given the exam, you give them 198 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 3: a grade. Well, how would you give them a grade 199 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 3: based on male female race, how they look, how they're dressed. 200 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 3: I think that's unfair. Now you're going to have some 201 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: preconceived notion is obviously because we have prior evidence. 202 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 2: But that's up. 203 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 3: I don't decide who plays. The players decide who plays. 204 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 3: I I've never decided who plays. 205 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. 206 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 3: You'll have to ask him, I don't. I don't know 207 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 3: how he'll view that. I know that I'm excited to 208 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 3: work with him. I'm excited to work with all of 209 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: our players on the roster. That's what you're paid to 210 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 3: do as a coach. Just like Andrew's gonna trust what 211 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 3: we call on fourth and one, I'm gonna trust him 212 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 3: that we're gonna put an elite roster together, allows us 213 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 3: to build a consistent winners. 214 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 8: Into being a head coach in the NFL. Any of 215 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 8: that kind of stuff. 216 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, all the stuff you don't want to do. 217 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: It's it's scheduling. It's the off season schedule. It's everything 218 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: besides the x's and o's. I say that jokingly, but 219 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: there there is a lot more that comes with it. 220 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: I've talked to a number of guys said, that's exactly 221 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 3: what it is. It's your off season schedule. It's everything 222 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: within the building that you whether it's from the training 223 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 3: room right uh to the players rehab, to the weight 224 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 3: room to you name it. What we're gonna do in 225 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 3: the off season, How you're gonna find the players not 226 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 3: so far down the road. 227 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 2: I don't even know yet. 228 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 9: What's the biggest key that balance? 229 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: Oh, I think we got it pretty good. I don't. 230 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 3: I don't see it that way like I I mean, 231 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 3: we get to coach football for a living, Like I 232 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 3: don't I don't understand how hard that is. When people say, 233 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 3: boy is the season is long. It is and it's hard. 234 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: But anybody that said to it, get to do this. 235 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: It's so cool. 236 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: A chance to look at your roster is that awesome? 237 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 6: Mean you have been able to dig in on any. 238 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 3: Oh I've dug into that because obviously heading to the 239 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 3: to the combine, I had to get a little preview 240 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 3: of that and then some of the free agents. If 241 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 3: you got a chance to look at the tackles and 242 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 3: receivers and decide how good. 243 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: The classes they. Now, yeah, I haven't really got that 244 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 2: far into it. 245 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: I've had a little bit of a taste, and I'm 246 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 3: excited about the prospects that are going to be there, 247 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 3: whether when we pick it, whether it be six or 248 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: twenty four on the second round, consis and their staff 249 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: to fail assistant defensive line and then we'll be done. 250 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: We're interviewing guys as we. 251 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 10: Speak a head coach, what did you kind of take 252 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 10: from experience. 253 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 7: Might when the. 254 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately we didn't play winning football enough. I'm just 255 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 3: going to speak to the offensive side because I can't 256 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 3: speak to special teams or defense. 257 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 2: I can only speak to. 258 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, injuries, untimely turnovers, certainly things I could have done 259 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: better as an offensive coordinator. Just didn't play winning football enough. 260 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 3: And that's that's the way it is. It went that way, unfortunately. 261 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: And I wouldn't say there's really anything that I learned differently. 262 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: Other than all those little things matter. 263 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 3: There's certain things from a day to day basis, from 264 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: a coaching accountability, from a playing accountability that when you're 265 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 3: trying to find those margins that allow you to win 266 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 3: those close games that we did have, and we just 267 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 3: didn't find a way to win those in the years 268 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 3: previous we did. 269 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 7: That. 270 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: I feel like I know what you say, margin not really. 271 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 3: I mean I I'm not one to send in a 272 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 3: ton of clips to the officials. I think they've got 273 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 3: as hard a job as any just they're gonna make 274 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 3: mistakes like we make mistakes. I've never called a perfect game. 275 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 3: A player has never played a perfect game. Officials have 276 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 3: never called a perfect game. That's part of what we do. 277 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 3: That's the imperfection of life. And so to me that 278 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 3: that had not how do we know that that? 279 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: I don't. 280 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 3: I don't have any idea at the end of the game, 281 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 3: how that would have turned out that game or any 282 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 3: other game. 283 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: That Travis you bring over from Foot Baltimore. 284 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 4: George Spots especially, wasn't to have guys who had worked 285 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 4: with previously Yo and Baltimore. 286 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 11: Around the place. 287 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 3: I said that at the press conference that it's critically important, 288 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 3: and when I talked about what really makes one side 289 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 3: of the ball the other go, which is really good players. 290 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 2: Okay, you need really good players. 291 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 3: Okay, then you need really good staff because you can't 292 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 3: do it alone. The way to call a game is 293 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 3: to have really good players, have a really good staff 294 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 3: that helps put the plan together, and then you can 295 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 3: call the game freely. So having George come over, Travis, 296 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 3: who is our run game coordinator there, Danny Bryer, Ian 297 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 3: Colste Mike but Jake In a quarterback coach I worked 298 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: with at Tampa Jeff Blasco I worked with here in 299 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: nineteen allows you to get up to speed quickly. 300 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 2: And sure the playbook for. 301 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 3: Those other guys isn't the same as it was when 302 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 3: we worked previously, But philosophically we're still connected. Well, it's 303 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 3: hard to say all the Ravens are our division. They've 304 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 3: got all our stuff. We're gonna have to change some 305 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 3: of it for God's sakes. I mean, so, I mean 306 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 3: we can't keep the same same calls. But you are 307 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 3: who you are. I mean, what you believe in is 308 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 3: what you believe in. You can't just flip. You may 309 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 3: flip some terminology, there's some things you're gonna have to 310 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 3: flip terminology wise, but what you believe in, how you 311 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: attack people, how you go about your daily routine, your 312 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 3: coaching staff has got to stay the same. That's why 313 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 3: you got the job. Completely flipped, then you're screwed. I mean, 314 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 3: I don't I don't know how you can do that 315 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 3: anything in life. You you have your belief system and 316 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: then you uh, then you go with. 317 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 2: It to study.

So that's it. 333 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, everybody up next year's Todd Munkin 334 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: from the local media scrump. 335 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 3: All right, this is definitely different than at the press conferences, obviously. 336 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,479 Speaker 3: Is there any concern that the three coordinators are going 337 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 3: to be first time guys. 338 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 9: In that role? 339 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 2: No? 340 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 3: Wait, I'm gonna run the offense. So let's eliminate that 341 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 3: part of it. By hard from Green Bay, trained on 342 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 3: your Rich Pisacia, I mean, one of the all time greats, 343 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 3: and he's ready, He's ready. And then I don't feel 344 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 3: defensively because we were able to retain the staff and 345 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 3: the players. I mean to me, there's not a better 346 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 3: situation that you could have and for a first time 347 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 3: play caller than to have the players that we have 348 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 3: and the staff that helped put that all together. Because 349 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 3: I'm not the same without our offensive staff. But we're 350 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 3: kidding ourselves if we think we do it all alone, 351 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 3: there's no chance. 352 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 11: Hey Ton. Just to follow up on that you mentioned 353 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 11: on the photium about how when you were at Southern 354 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 11: Miss he gave up the play calling, dude, is how 355 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 11: did that change you as a head coach? How did 356 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 11: that help just an overall pitcher? And I know it's 357 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 11: a different situation that college versus now, but what's your 358 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,959 Speaker 11: twelve impact on your philosophy? 359 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 3: It was a lot easier than similar. We had a 360 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: really good group coming back of offensive players. Chip and 361 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 3: I were really aligned offensively, and we still built it 362 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 3: the same during the week, and at that moment it 363 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 3: just made a lot of sense. The other thing was, 364 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 3: I do think it's a little bit easier to assess 365 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 3: everything about the organization players if you can step back 366 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 3: a little. 367 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 11: Bit, is any sense what would be like to give 368 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 11: up plays like even now? I mean, I know you're 369 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 11: just now in this job, but just the whole thought 370 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 11: of you not actually calling the plays, how difficult would 371 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 11: that be at this point? 372 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 3: It's not difficult today. We haven't even started. But I 373 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 3: mean I'm joking. I mean every year is different, every 374 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 3: week is different. I don't see it, you know, at 375 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 3: this point, but you never say never I mean, you 376 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 3: never get the point. I mean, I think we've had 377 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 3: this year already, this last week where Sean Payton says 378 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 3: he's given up play calling and Dave. 379 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: Canalis is given up play calling. 380 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 3: But you got to get things going in the direction 381 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 3: you want work with somebody long enough to where you 382 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 3: feel comfortable that over that's we're not at that point 383 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 3: yet and you had to choose to talk to you. 384 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 2: But Miles yet, I have not had a chance to talk. 385 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 3: We've text back and forth, but between all of his 386 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 3: travels and you know, being overseas for the Olympics, I 387 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 3: haven't had a chance to talk to him. 388 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 2: But I'm excited to talk. 389 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 7: Do you have a good feeling yet on whether or 390 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 7: not you really think that you have what you need 391 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,239 Speaker 7: in your quarterback room to get the job done, you know, 392 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 7: in twenty twenty six, or do you sort of feel 393 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 7: like you might need to bring somebody in from the 394 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 7: outside too. 395 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 3: I think that's a little bit of a baited question 396 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 3: on that one, but I will say that we're always 397 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 3: trying to upgrade every position. 398 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 2: That's not the only position I know. It's the position 399 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: everybody wants to talk about, and I get it. 400 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 3: I get it. I'm excited about your door. I'm excited 401 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 3: about Deshawan and Dylan. I'm excited about the prospects not 402 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 3: only in free agency but also in the draft. 403 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 2: And we'll see where it all falls. 404 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 3: I mean, ultimately, you've got to do whatever you need 405 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 3: to do, especially at that position, to put yourself a 406 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 3: position to score points. 407 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 5: To having multiple rookies on your starting offensive. 408 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 11: Line, Nope, is more of a challenge. 409 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 3: No, I mean, if they're the best players, I mean, 410 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 3: that's that's where we're at right now. 411 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: I mean we understand that. And so now what it 412 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 2: multiple depends on how many multiple? You know, two? Okay, 413 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 2: there we go. Yeah, let's not go to five. 414 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 3: I mean multiple's a pretty broad stroke there. Again, they're 415 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 3: really talented rookies then, no, I mean we started a 416 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 3: year ago Roger rosen Garden at the Ravens and he 417 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 3: did fantastic. And so I've been around rookies that can 418 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 3: really can play at a high level, and you've got 419 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 3: to do things schematically to help them out. 420 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 2: You certainly, especially. 421 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 6: A tackle Todam. I'm sure that, like the nuts and 422 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 6: bolts of your offense are the same wherever you go. 423 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 6: But can you do have an idea of what this 424 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 6: offense is going to look like here? Or do you 425 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 6: need to get a feel for the players you have, 426 00:23:58,760 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 6: the quarterback all of that stuff. 427 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 3: First off, I mean, not not really. 428 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 2: I mean, but. 429 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 3: Well, how much are you really gonna change? I mean, 430 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 3: let's be real honest about it. I mean, Mike McDonald 431 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 3: went from the Ravens to the Seahawks, and I'm sure 432 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 3: they tweak some things. And each year you're tweaking it. 433 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 3: It's gonna change. You're gonna evolve, You're gonna adapt, and 434 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 3: we're the same way. But what we do is what 435 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 3: we do, how we call it and how we scheme 436 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 3: it up can't change. Or you're not committed anything. I mean, 437 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 3: you have to be what you believe in and how 438 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 3: you attack people and how you prepare every week, so 439 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 3: that can't change. 440 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 7: You guys are in rebuilding mode on sort of, I guess. 441 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 7: But how important is it for you this is your 442 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 7: first time to be a head coach. How important is 443 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 7: it for you to hit the ground running and try 444 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 7: to get to winning as soon as possible in Cleveland? 445 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 3: Well, first off, I think every every year every team 446 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 3: has to rebuild, either with the current players they have 447 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 3: or through free agency of the draft. 448 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 2: So I don't really see it as that. 449 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 3: I see it as what pieces are available on our 450 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 3: current roster, what pieces are out there in free agency, 451 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 3: what pieces are out there in the draft, and how 452 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 3: do we put together starting with the offensive line because 453 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 3: that's where it starts, and then every other position group 454 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 3: that gives us the best chance to compete every Sunday. 455 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 3: So rebuild is probably a little strong, retool, maybe add 456 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 3: pieces to that, and then how quickly do we get 457 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 3: them up to speed? 458 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 12: Pat you mentioned free agency a couple of times yesterday 459 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 12: Andrew Barry said that you'd expect to be a little 460 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 12: more aggressive than last year, but probably more aggressive next offseason. 461 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 12: But when you guys are looking in free agency, you 462 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 12: what's the pitch to players that this is a good 463 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 12: place to be As you're going to get in those 464 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 12: conversations like how do you make this a good fit 465 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 12: for players who maybe are considering other teams weigh other options. 466 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: Well, usually free agents take the most money. So that's 467 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 3: what you have to do is have money to spend. 468 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 3: Let's be real honest there, I mean, then the rest 469 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 3: comes into play. It's just like nil anymore. Everything else 470 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 3: is important, just not as important right when money's involved. 471 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 3: Relationships are important, the way to win is important. You 472 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 3: name it, like in college, it's your academics, right, your degree, 473 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 3: close to home, and that's still all part of it, 474 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 3: your family, but ultimately it's how much might they're going 475 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 3: to get paid and where do they fit and then 476 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 3: the relationship piece of it. So and then ultimately you 477 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 3: want to get players that are still playing at a 478 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 3: high level. I mean, certainly you want to be certainly 479 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 3: smart in terms of where you spend the money. But 480 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 3: we all know in free agency, if you want a 481 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 3: good player they've proven it on NFL tape, you're going. 482 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 2: To have to spend. That's just the way it is, 483 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: and at times overspend. 484 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 8: You got it back to the defense really quick with Rutenberg, 485 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 8: and it seems like everyone in Atlanta was talking about 486 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 8: his knowledge of the secondary and the way they disguise 487 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 8: things like how intriguing was that with him? And especially, 488 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 8: like you said, knowing you have all these guys essentially 489 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 8: coming back your defensive starters to maybe switch them things 490 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 8: up in the back end. 491 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 3: Very exciting and no matter who was going to be 492 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 3: the defensive coordinator. There was gonna have to be some changes. 493 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 3: I mean, there just wasn't just some adaptation. Every year 494 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 3: you're changing, you're evolving, so it didn't matter who was 495 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 3: just like we were offensively from last year to this year. 496 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 3: The personnel we have. Every team's different next year every 497 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 3: year after that, you're going to evolve, So that's exciting. 498 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 3: You obviously came very highly recommended, certainly respected within the profession, 499 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 3: and it was his time and it was obvious when 500 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 3: he came and interviewed to all of us. 501 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: But that's the direction we were going to head. 502 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 6: What's a piece of advice you've received about taking over 503 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 6: an NFL team for the first time? 504 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 3: The best bit of advice, I don't know if I've 505 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 3: asked enough people yet for that. It's been a I 506 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 3: think I just lost this whatever that was put it there. 507 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 3: I haven't really got to that point yet have asked 508 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 3: the advice part, because you're really you're in a whirlwind 509 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 3: try to hire staff, you're getting ready for the combine 510 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 3: and free agency and all of the things that come 511 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 3: with that that you really haven't even had a chance 512 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 3: to reach out and say. I think I did talk 513 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 3: to Liam Cohen and Liam said a lot of the 514 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 3: football stuff was the easiest part of it. That the 515 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 3: scheduling part of it was the hardest part the first 516 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 3: year because you're responsible for it all. I'll compare when 517 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 3: I got to Southern miss twenty thirteen, we were two 518 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 3: weeks away from springball. 519 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 2: True story. 520 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 3: Dave Duggan comes in our defensive coordinator and says, hey, 521 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 3: you got the faces for spring ball? 522 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: And I said, oh, I got to do that. 523 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: Like you have to set that like someone usually used 524 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 3: to bring you the schedule. What is that when you 525 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 3: start right, all of those things, the days you're going 526 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 3: to work right, whatever is the fine skeed, whatever those 527 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 3: things are that you have to do that are more 528 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 3: organizational than it is what you're used to on a 529 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 3: day to day basis. It's like all of us, what 530 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 3: do you? 531 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 2: What do you? 532 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 3: Where is your comfort zone? It's what you've done over 533 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 3: the course of time. Anything that's different is going to 534 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 3: take time to just get into a routine. Not hard, 535 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 3: None of that's hard. It's just getting into a routine 536 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 3: of your time management. It's probably the biggest thing. Where 537 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 3: do you put your time. 538 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 5: To you at Georgia and in the sec but do 539 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 5: you see your value in this draft process being your contacts, 540 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 5: so particularly at Georgia when you're looking at offensive linemen. 541 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 3: Maybe I think being in college, like any personal relationships, 542 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 3: I don't think it ever hurts if you want to 543 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 3: get real information right, right, Like if someone off the 544 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 3: street or you guys, ask my wife. 545 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 2: How cool it has been married to me and she 546 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 2: doesn't know you, What is she going to say?
