1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Uh, hey, this is real football, right, it's real football. 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: We're out here in paths today. But before we get 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: to that, I just want to thank the medical professionals 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,239 Speaker 1: in house and also mass general as far as the 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: care for Barbore. Obviously it's an unfortunate thing, but you know, 6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: for me, it's not even about football when you talk 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: about things like that. It's about the man. And uh, 8 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: he's getting tremendous care and I'm I'm anticipating them coming back. 9 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: No timetable, no timetable. I think all these situations are different, 10 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 1: and I'm not a specialist in that world, so I 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: don't want to put a diagnosis our timetable to come back. 12 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: When he's ready to go, we'll be here waiting for him. 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: What do you anticipate doing with him right now? Is 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: he Well, this is one of those things where like 15 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: you just don't know the timetable. That's more of a 16 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: question probably for Elliott or our head trained. I should 17 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: have brought him out here with me. Symptoms first manifest 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: were the first steps of his care as it was. 19 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: You know, we have these case managers who are responsible 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: for you know, a group of guys and you know 21 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: they did a great job under Jim's leadership. Chris Dolan 22 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: noticed something they investigated, so kudos to those guys. 23 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: That happened last week we saw him out here a 24 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: little bit limited, which is sort of feeling. 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure when it happened, the whole timetable 26 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: of how it happened, I'm really not sure. I have. 27 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: I had a conversation with him. He's in good spirits 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: and like I said before, he's getting tremendous care. And 29 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: his mom is up here too, So anytime mom's in 30 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: in the house, it's a good day in the hospital 31 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: currently or no, he's not in the hospital right now. 32 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: You know, year old kid like he is. No way, 33 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: he just wants to play football, right, Yeah, he just 34 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: wants to play football. But in understanding the you know, 35 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: the seriousness of this, uh, he needs to get healthy 36 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: and we'll we'll be praying for him. 37 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: To David Andrews, who has gone through this before. 38 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: So I you know, I remember when that whole thing happened. 39 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: You know, the same training staff for the most part 40 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: that dealt with that are still here and I have 41 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: full confidence in those guys to help him out. I'm 42 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: sure at some point in time. You got to remember 43 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: this just happened not too long ago, so he's still 44 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: trying to digest what's going on right now as well 45 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: and as well as his treatment plan. Today, we did 46 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: talk to the team. We talked to the team about it. 47 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: A lot of those guys were concerned, but we wanted 48 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: to wait until all the tests and things were run 49 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: before we had that conversation. 50 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: So credited Jim Whalen and said it could have been 51 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 3: a lot worse about him. 52 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: Can just maybe offer more details on the difference that 53 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: he made. Yeah, you know, Jim Whalen, he's a huge 54 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: piece of the puzzle. I would also say he has 55 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: a tremendous team behind him that you know, they do 56 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 1: the day to day things as well. So kudos to 57 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: to that whole entire staff. 58 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 3: That position, you know, like armand Watts, Daniel Equality. Who 59 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 3: are you looking to now to possibly do some of 60 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: those things. 61 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question. We'll see. You know, today 62 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: is the first day in pads and you know, it's 63 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: easy to say, you know, this guy can do it, 64 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: that guy can do it, but a guy like Barmore, 65 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: as dis eruptive as he is, it's kind of hard 66 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: to get that same production. But look, other guys have 67 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: to step up if we treated like a normal injury 68 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: even though it's not a normal injury. 69 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: And next man up the side, Antonio gives him back 70 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: out yesterday. Is he now officially off an aphy list? 71 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: He's back. Yeah, he's back. He's practicing and you know 72 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: it said day to day thing with him on the 73 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: field as well, same thing. 74 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 4: Bar More you know obviously not but in his jersey 75 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 4: down there, is he progressing. 76 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 5: The way you guys would like me to sorry talking 77 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 5: about I'm sorry Kendrick Bourne. 78 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so yeah, sorry, you're confused me now myself. 79 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: Uh So, Bourne's doing everything he can to get back 80 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: on the field. When that is, I don't know. When 81 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: he's ready to go, we'll put him out there. So 82 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: you guys work over the course of the spring. We 83 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: haven't seen as much this summer so far. I imagine maybe 84 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: something that's going on behind the scenes and so how 85 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: is that. Yeah, it's definitely a lot going in uh 86 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: into that unit behind the scenes. I would also say 87 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: the NFL is still you know, nailing down how they 88 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: want to officiate that place, So we have to be 89 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: flexible it's a very fluid situation and we're gonna anytime 90 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: a new memo comes out, we're gonna try something new. 91 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: So we'll see where we land. 92 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 5: Castles football fan, could you explain why your eyes light up, 93 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 5: why these guys their eyes light up when you say 94 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 5: first full fat practice. 95 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you know most of us started playing 96 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: as young kids and the hit. You know, we will 97 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: take our helmets. How many marks do you have on 98 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: your helmet and things like that. It kind of brings 99 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: back that, uh, those memories. Uh, these guys know, once 100 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: you put on the pads and you know, there's been 101 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: a lot of going back and forth making big plays, 102 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: and you would always hear guys like sack, that's a sack, 103 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: or that's this, or I would have did this to you. 104 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: But now we're in pads, we'll see it's an opportunity 105 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: for all those little beefs to really get squashed out. 106 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 4: You talked a lot about how you want the best 107 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 4: five offensive lineman out there. At what point do you 108 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 4: want to determine who those five are? I know, for 109 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 4: the last couple of days we've seen the same group 110 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: out there. 111 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, honestly, I would say I mean that's why, 112 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: that's why we have the preseason, and you know, hopefully 113 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: going into the third preseason game, we have a good 114 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: understanding of who those five. 115 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 4: Will be part of that group of five that we've 116 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 4: seen out there. Even getting back to the spring, what 117 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 4: are you he do last year to prove that he 118 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 4: should be a start. 119 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: Of the season. Yeah, I think just look, we don't 120 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: have starters right now on the offensive line, and saying 121 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: that City's done a tremendous job, you know, hanging around 122 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: here in the off season, working out and putting everything 123 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: he has into the playbook. You know, he did a 124 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: great job in the spring and hopefully it continues today 125 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: in full paths. 126 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: Sure, we've seen Baker have some really good practices, especially 127 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: you know yesterday with the one on ones he had 128 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: that sixty year catch from Joe Millson the other day. 129 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 2: What are you seeing from him in his development and 130 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 2: what does he bringing to the table? 131 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 4: Right? 132 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's definitely a good player. I would say he 133 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: has a lot to learn. Even that long pass yesterday, 134 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: no one tagged him down. He threw the ball up 135 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: in the air. So, you know, just reminding guys that 136 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: this isn't college like, this is the NFL. You're not 137 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: being tagged down that right, there is a fumble, But 138 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: those are the things that they'll learn through training camp 139 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: and hopefully he doesn't do it during the season. 140 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 3: Christian farm More, you mentioned how you might try to 141 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 3: fill in at that position behind him. 142 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: How does maybe not having a player like that impact 143 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: the rest of the defense. 144 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: I mean, look, you know it's no secret. You know 145 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: last year he was one of our best players defensively, 146 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: And saying that we have a lot of guys, I 147 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: don't think just one person can embody all of the 148 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: different things that Barmore did for us. But we do 149 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: have guys that are hungry. We do have guys that 150 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: can penetrate the offensive line. So uh, I'm not too 151 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: concerned about that. You know, it's the next man. 152 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 3: You've seen more from Brendan school playing defense in this camp. 153 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 5: Just what have you seen from him in that role? 154 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think it's I thought it was important 155 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: to not just have core special teams players only focused 156 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: on special teams. Look, Schooler will be at the game, right, 157 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: He's an all pro type of special team player. Now 158 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying that there will be times where maybe we 159 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: need to get out of a game because of injuries 160 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Hopefully it's from blowing another team 161 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: out and put him in there. But he needs to 162 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 1: have a fun, you know, fundamental understanding of our defense. 163 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: One second to answer your sorry to answer your question. Look, 164 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: this guy can run, and this guy can tackle, and 165 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: this guy is smart. And so you put those three 166 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: things together, you got a pretty good defensive players. 167 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 3: How much is a guy's returning ability to get a 168 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 3: factor into the fifty three. 169 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: I think it's uh, that's definitely under consideration. I would 170 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: also say, look, we're a game plan team offensively and 171 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: defensively and on special teams specifically KOC and kor right, 172 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: because those are like sometimes you might just want to 173 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: kick the ball at the back of the end zone 174 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: and lean on the defense, and we're gonna lean on 175 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: our defense this year. And I would also say offensively, 176 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna run the ball and try to control the 177 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: game that way. So competition, Look to this point, we 178 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: ut there, Well, they both they both missed the first 179 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: one yesterday, so as we continue to go on, Look, 180 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: that is a huge piece of the puzzle to have 181 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: a kicker that we can depend on and those guys 182 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: are out here competing just like at every other position. 183 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 5: Brendon and players him in the past and might have 184 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 5: made the roster in great part, if not most part, 185 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 5: because of their special team's ability. Now defining whether a 186 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 5: guy makes a team or not in that position fringe 187 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 5: with the roster, guy, do you leak toward defense offensive 188 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 5: contributions as opposed to whether or not he give you 189 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 5: a fourth. 190 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: Tel Absolutely, you know, to answer your question, I don't 191 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: fundamentally believe unless you are a Matt Slater, you know, 192 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame type of you know, special teams player. 193 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 1: I think the more you can do, the more value 194 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: you could bring to our roster and our team, the 195 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: more flexibility, that's the important thing for us. 196 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: The Baker thing where you mentioned the toss the ball 197 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: in the air, How is your coaching philosophy sort of 198 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 3: maybe evolving in terms of how to address it. Are 199 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 3: you the type of you want to get right on 200 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: that or is it more in the film room. 201 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a combination. And you see me 202 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: bouncing around all the time, pulling guys to the side. 203 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: You know, those are just basic rules and fundamentals. It 204 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you're on offense defense with special teams. Look, 205 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: you get on those guys in the film room, you 206 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: get on them out here, but also you have to 207 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: show those guys like remember it's a young man still 208 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: trying to figure out the NFL, and I think, you know, 209 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: for me, it's just about developing those guys not only 210 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: body and mind, but also just how to play an 211 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: NFL game. 212 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 5: Having you know, he's got that flare. Maybe it's a 213 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 5: part of what makes him so good. 214 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't wanna you don't want to kill a guy, 215 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: you know, for showing some type of energy and some 216 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: type of passion. I encourage those things. You make a 217 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: big play, it's not just you, it's the rest of 218 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: the team. Uh. But also there's a way to finish 219 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: the play. And that's what we really focus on in 220 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: the in the classroom is look, we can't do this. 221 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: This is what we want, and I think it's important 222 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: to get that across mechanics. At this point, it seems 223 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: like there's been a fair amount of the you know, 224 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: the three quarter, which I know a lot of guys 225 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: have sort of morphed into, but it seems at times 226 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: that maybe not necessary or been inaccurate. Yeah, you know, honestly, 227 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: like those off schedule plays is when you really see it. Look, 228 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: he can make all the throws and he's an athletic guy. 229 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: So working on those off schedule plays outside the pocket 230 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: where guys can really start moving around, that's when you'll 231 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: see his arm strength and things like that. All right, 232 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: thanks guys for sure, Thank you. Take care
