1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: Will obviously start prepping some on Denver. Would be a 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: lot of also New York Giants stuff we gotta focus on. 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: We got a number of new players who have joined 4 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: our team. With the weekend we just had being dead 5 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: period of rules, there's a lot of guys haven't had 6 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: a lot of experience and things we're doing. So today's important. 7 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: Get guys called up vocabulary wise, just get him on 8 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: our alphabet, understand what we're saying going out there, you know, 9 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: give him a chance going in the next weekend, see 10 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: if they compete to the game. So that being set 11 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: a little, I have many questions you have, Joe. Did 12 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: you see the amount of contact limited physical, live action 13 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: that you needed to see from Sa Kwan last Thursday 14 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: or do you plan another one of those this week? 15 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: Well two things. One I thought we had for the 16 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: first day a good amount of it before we had 17 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: to do it, would be a live contact last week, 18 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: all right? Tell you ever right there in terms of 19 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: this week, we'll be in pads on Wednesday. We'll see 20 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: a little bit more. And I know the next question 21 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: coming as work with Sa Kwan. Uh, Look, that won't 22 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: be decided to later in a week. I want to 23 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: see a response to a couple of things physically within 24 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: his body and make the best sessment going forward for 25 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: you know, him this weekend and going four past that 26 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: feeling right now coming of that practice. I can't speak 27 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: for him directly, but he was smiling today, Georgan. So 28 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: how much is that Thursday game factor into the decision? 29 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: You know, you guys, a short turnout that facing at 30 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: all the guys ready to playing Sunday's right playing Sunday. 31 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: I think it's independent of the player, you know, in 32 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: terms of just say Kwan specifically talking about the second game, 33 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: we're really folks more on this first game right now. 34 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: That second game is obviously a very real thing being 35 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: a short turnaround. But reality is we have the Broncos 36 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: coming this week and we gotta have all attention on them. Joe, 37 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: are you optimistic about Kenny? You know, from the get 38 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: going he had said you guys had said you were 39 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: hopeful about him for week one? Is that still the case? 40 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: I'd say a number of these guys coming back right now, 41 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: we're all misk about all of them, be honest with you, 42 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see how they do throughout this week 43 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: of practice. So a lot of guys make a lot 44 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: of games last week. There are a lot of guys 45 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: who are getting kind of reintroduced to the team that 46 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: missed some time in training camp. I'd say it was 47 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: a productive week in terms, and then they can progress 48 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: with the team on the field. Obviously this week will 49 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: be a big thing for him. Having today is a 50 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: big part of that. You know, it's kind of a 51 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: bonus states more, being a little bit of rest day 52 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: gives a little bit more of a window going into 53 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: the tailing of the week. Again, i'd say much of 54 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: Saquin with all those guys, I don't think we'll make 55 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: any final decisions too later in the week. What about Evan, 56 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: expect him out here and doing more this week. We're 57 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: gonna check with the trainers. He did some stuff this weekend. 58 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: It sounds like he's progressing in the right direction. We'll 59 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: see in terms of what is load this week is 60 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: gonna be. We'll see where he's gonna be for us 61 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: practice today. That could be you know, anything from nothing 62 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: to individuals to see if we progress past stant today. 63 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: You get uh, I'm sure old guys had to get 64 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: tested when they came back and where they all negatives 65 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: or Yeah, from everything we've been told at this point 66 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: right now that they were is that a kind of 67 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: a hold your breath moments a coach coming for them 68 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: coming back? UM, I think we're all very aware of 69 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: kind of you know, the circumstances around. You're all very 70 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: aware of, you know, what happened in Dallas. You know 71 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: with Martin, Um, you don't want to see what happened 72 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 1: to anybody any team. You want every team to really 73 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: have all their players. It's about competition, you know. We 74 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: just talked to our team. We hit him again today 75 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: in the squad meeting about you know, being safe, just 76 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: making sure that we take the measures we have to. 77 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's the same conversation that we started camping, 78 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: the same thing. It's just there's protocols in place. Whether 79 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: you're vaccinated or unvaccinated. Where those protocols are, you have 80 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: to follow them and we'll support everybody as long as 81 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: you follow the protocols. I would say that our team 82 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: has done a tremendous job. We haven't had to have 83 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: one meeting or anything that's training camp or anything in 84 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: terms of telling guys the space out to put on masks. 85 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: They've all been very in tune, very respectful of each 86 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: other and each other's status. So we've got to stay 87 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: on and remind those guys just to make sure that 88 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: you know, look, we make all the right decisions. We 89 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: don't put ourselves in position you know, you could cost 90 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: somebody some time on the field necessarily, So when you 91 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: obviously he said there'll be a little bit of Broncos today, 92 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of Giants. But from a coaching staff perspective, 93 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: I know you guys have different assignments across the board. Right, 94 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: how early would you say someone on your staff has 95 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: broken down in Denver film to kind of get a 96 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: head start for you guys, Yeah, we did a full 97 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: breakdown as the staff and preliminated game plan back in spring. 98 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: So we spend time on the first three opponents. That's 99 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: not really uncommon a lot of teams do that, um, 100 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: but we spend time in the spring of really thoroughly 101 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: going through it as staff's offense, defense, kicking game, and 102 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: then obviously monitored through you know, preseason, when the personnel changes, 103 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: the team changes obviously about the players, so you monitor 104 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: where they are coming out of the final cuts, who 105 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: they have available right now, which you think they may 106 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: do similar or differently based on what you've seen in 107 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: preseason with who they have available right now, and then 108 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: you go and you tweak the game play based on 109 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: your own roster as well. So you know, there always 110 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: been some adjustments to what we did in the spring, 111 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: but it gives you a good snapshot early on with 112 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: what to work with. What do you say to your guys, 113 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you have some guys here are noted film junkies, 114 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: will will dive in. I mean a guy like Blake 115 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: or Logan. Do you want them to hold off a 116 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: little bit before they dive in or are they the 117 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: kind of guys that you think are diving in just 118 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: when the coaches are diving in. Well, I think they're 119 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: diving in now. I can't say any of the players 120 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: are watching these guys back in the spring. We haven't 121 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: talked about any opponents outside the Giants all right before 122 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: except for preseason opponents until now. Really, you know, so 123 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: I think this is the right time that you gotta 124 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: start working through tape. You know, you start out with 125 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: you know, some cut ups that apply to you, and 126 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: then watch some games are familiar to what you're gonna do. 127 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: You know this offense against you know, schemes that are 128 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: similar to what you run this defense same thing, and 129 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: schemes that you may run. So you want to go 130 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: ahead and see how they may call the game, how 131 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,679 Speaker 1: they may adapt. You know what they've done in previous 132 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: exposures against coaches on your staff, So take all that 133 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: into account, and then at the end of the day, 134 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: it's just about getting the right information to players and 135 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: built down we're gonna do as a game plan. But 136 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: I would expect our players we're watching tape really starting 137 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: today and working through the week. Picture perspective, obviously, there's 138 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: a perception out there amongst some national media, you guys 139 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: are not gonna have a great season. The expectations run on. 140 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: I know you don't pay attention to it, and you 141 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: turn tune it out. It's probably hard for some of 142 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: your guys to not pay attention pay attention to it. 143 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: Are you okay with these guys using that as motivation? 144 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: Do you would you prefer they not use it as 145 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: motivation when they see it, or how do you feel? Whatever? 146 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: You gotta use his motivation, go ahead and if it 147 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: helps you, it helps you. I mean, look, we gotta 148 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: worry about what we can do inside the building to 149 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: affect the results on the field. The noise on the 150 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: outside doesn't affect anything to do internally, Joe. The biggest 151 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: lesson you learned about being a rookie head coach A 152 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: and being a rookie head coach of the New York 153 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: Giants in this market, this big picture. Wise, men, Look, 154 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: I could talk for thirty minutes about this. Uh. Look, 155 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: I think it's important just to kind of show up 156 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: every day and just do your job and prepare the team. 157 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: And it sounds really generic, but that's really what it is. 158 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: If you start to pay attention all this stuff on 159 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: the outside, as we just referenced, that's just gonna tear 160 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: from your own preparation of your own team and things 161 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: are things that are important is showing up, knowing the opponent, 162 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: knowing your own roster, communicate what you want done in 163 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: the field, talking with the players, correcting mistakes, and getting 164 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: ready for Sunday, Joe, when the doctors tell you somebody's 165 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: ready to play, does that ever meet he's good for 166 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: twenty plays, or if he's ready to play, that's he's 167 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: good for the whole game? Yeah? To me, Look, I 168 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: can only control volume. I can't control intensity. Now, you 169 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: may manage somebody's reps, you know, based on practice or 170 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: game whatever it may be. But to me, when the 171 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: doctor says someone's healthy for a game, you've got to 172 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: be healthy to play. You know that that to me, 173 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: you only take a limited number of guys to a game. 174 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: So the doctor says someone's good to go, they gotta 175 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: be good to go for us. Joe perspective. Um, as 176 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: far as the roster is concerned, how close is it 177 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: to the expectations that you set going into the season 178 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: for what you want to accomplish in terms of just 179 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: the players we have in general, injuries assign you know, 180 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: like I'm pleased with the players we have to work with, 181 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, I think one thing everybody's keep in mind too, 182 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: And if you look at the length of the season, 183 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: the roster is never really final, Okay, it's really not. 184 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: And the players that understand that through a lot of 185 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: different ways, whether it's turned the practice squad over to 186 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: find good developmental players or with new rules vets to 187 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: flex up if possible, through having guys through injury. You 188 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: may lose getting some guys back off injury. You know, 189 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: the roster is an ever evolving thing, and you're really 190 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: looking through September to really find, you know, your identity 191 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: as a team, to really go ahead and level at 192 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: your roster best you can, you know, work through some situations, 193 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: play with good fundamentals and give yourselves a chance. You know, 194 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: at this point in the season, nothing's finally. You see, 195 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: we have a number of new guys on our team 196 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: already right now. We didn't go through training camp with 197 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: a lot of guys. We haven't had an opportunity really 198 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: meet with a lot of these guys until this morning. 199 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: So in terms of a roster being final, you know, 200 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: we explained our players all the times about what you 201 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: do on a daily basis, about production and consistency, and 202 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: you gotta earn it every day. How close do you 203 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: think you are to the schedule that you predetermined going 204 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: into opening day for where you wanted to be schedule 205 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: from opening day in terms of where your your litmus 206 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: test was like when we get to opening day, I 207 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: want to be able to see this from my team. 208 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: Have you seen it?

I think it ties 211 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: back into you know, you're never a finished product. You know, 212 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: if at any point we sit back and say like 213 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: that's it, we got what we need right there, we're 214 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: not doing our jobs. Our jobs as coaches to keep 215 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: finding things we had to correct and help the players 216 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: go out there and play more effective more Thomas, we 217 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: didn't see him to do anything or much on Thursday. 218 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: Why was that? And should we expect him out here 219 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: to that? Yeah, I'll definitely practicing today. We're mixing different 220 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: guys around the day for different reasons I talked about before, 221 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: you know, based on different loads of different guys at 222 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: different times we pull up some guys at other times 223 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: push out of gas. So I wouldn't read too much 224 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: into that externally with your offensive And there's a lot 225 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: of concerns about how the de unit's gonna be. What 226 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: would you say provides you optimists in the that group, 227 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: the way they work and prepare every day, they're a 228 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: tough group.

What about that last preceason 232 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: game you know it's funny somebody some Sometimes the assessments 233 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: on the outside don't really have the entire picture at 234 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: hand and understanding all the other ten pieces that go together. 235 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: So you gotta take that with a grain of salt 236 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: sometimes when you read certain things. Now, look, everyone can 237 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: play better.

If it's in our program that we love 246 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: having every day. Um I think you need good linebackers. 247 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a luxury in this league. I 248 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: see more as a necessity.
