Speaker 3: Today different for you than esterday.

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 4: No, listen, it is just business as usual.

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 5: Go out there and you know, get another good practice in,

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 5: get some rests with the guys, and you know, kind

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 5: of continue to work.

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 4: Towards what we've been all training camp.

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 6: So when did you kind of know that you were

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 6: going to get named the starter?

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 5: When Kevin told me, I mean, I don't know. You know,

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 5: like I said, you keep your head down and you

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 5: just try to do your best. And it felt like

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 5: I was having a good camp with the reps that

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 5: I was given and that's all you can.

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 7: Do's done this a million times, But are there extra

24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 7: emotions attached to you know?

25
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 3: Now you're forty and it's been a couple of years since.

26
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: You've been the Week one guy.

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if I was very emotional about it,

28
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 5: But listen, you don't take for granted opportunities in this league,

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 5: you know, especially you know, to get one at this

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 5: point in my.

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 4: Career is uh, definitely special.

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 5: But uh, like I said, it's it's pretty much business

33
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 5: as usual and just kind of trying.

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: To get better start the season. Well, we all know

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: how that works.

36
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, that's everybody in the league, you know,

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 5: But it's not really my job to look at it

38
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 5: in that way. It's just to kind of go out

39
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 5: there and play my game kind of like I've been doing,

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: you know, all training camp and not worrying about you know,

41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 5: all that all that stuff, just going out there and

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 5: playing my game and being the best I can.

43
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 7: You expect to play Saturday that you want to play.

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do expect too, you know.

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 5: I think there's uh, you know, a lot of value

46
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 5: and in preparing yourself to go play a football game

47
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 5: and getting your mindset ready for that.

48
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: So the questions being answered.

49
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 8: Right, just where are you at and where do you

50
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 8: feel this offense.

51
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: Is at this point, get right.

52
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 4: I think we all feel pretty good, you know. Now.

53
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 5: It's like, listen, you only get a certain amount of

54
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 5: reps out there, and I think we've made the most

55
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 5: of it. And I think that's every team in the league, uh,

56
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 5: to a certain extent. I think the good thing about

57
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 5: this week is we kind of get to put ourselves

58
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 5: through a little bit of a game plan and and

59
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 5: kind of simulate what we would be doing during the year.

60
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 5: And I think that's going to give everybody that extra

61
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 5: confidence to take that next step.

62
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 8: You're the old training camp at is that the defense

63
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 8: usually starts at the offense.

64
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 9: It seems like you guys are in the games since

65
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 9: team recently, Why do you think offense takes a little

66
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 9: longer than you know to gel?

67
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 8: And obviously.

68
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 5: It's so tough to tell these days if that is

69
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 5: actually the case, just because you're not out there with

70
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 5: a ton of reps. But I mean, typically on offense,

71
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 5: I'm sure defensive guys look at it exactly the opposite

72
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 5: that we do. But on offense, one guy can mess

73
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 5: up and it wrecks the whole play. On defense, one

74
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 5: guy can be the only one to wreck the entire play,

75
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 5: you know, So it's kind of like I think a

76
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 5: lot of offensive guys at least view it opposite. I'm

77
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 5: sure defensiveuys will tell you differently that they need to

78
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 5: kind of play together as well, But it truly is

79
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: a team sport for a reason. And on offense, everybody

80
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 5: needs to be on top of all their shifts, all

81
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 5: their motions, all their post game, all their post snap

82
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 5: you know, changes and all that, and if one guy

83
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 5: happens to be a little bit off, then the play

84
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 5: doesn't work. And I think it's always it always takes

85
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 5: a little bit of time to get all eleven guys

86
00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 5: operating on full cylinder, especially when you're rotating a bunch

87
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 5: guys in during training camp and you have a bunch

88
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 5: of guys taking reps. It's just another it's it's just

89
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 5: makes it even a little bit harder.

90
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 10: Where are you from the physical standpoint? The last time

91
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 10: you playing was two years ago and the calendar was turned.

92
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 10: So where is forty find you? Just in terms of

93
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 10: arm strength, will builty and.

94
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 8: Energy and all that kind of stuff.

95
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I hope that I've shown some people

96
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 5: that over the last couple of weeks that have watched

97
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 5: the film and that we've been out there with I

98
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 5: feel as good as I ever have. You know, you

99
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: get tricked a little bit when you're in the locker

100
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 5: room with all these guys. You just kind of assume

101
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 5: you're in your twenties and you keep telling yourself that.

102
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 5: But I really do feel feel great. My arm feels

103
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 5: just as good as ever. My legs feel really good

104
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 5: right now to do the things that I'm gonna have

105
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 5: to do, So you know, I feel ready to go.

106
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: Twenty two year old Joe flack Wool believe you'd be

107
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: starting as a forty.

108
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: Year old, like I hope that he would believe it.

109
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you if you told him, he'd probably be

110
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 5: a little bit surprised that he's actually still playing at

111
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 5: forty years old. But I hope that he would believe

112
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 5: it for sure.

113
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: It's tough to go.

114
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 5: Back and and in a lot of ways, you're probably

115
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 5: a little bit more copy as a twenty two.

116
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 4: Year old than you are as a forty year old.

117
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 5: So I've probably come come down to earth and you know,

118
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 5: mellowed out a little bit on certain things.

119
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 4: And yeah, my twenty two year old self, I think

120
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: would believe it for sure.

121
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 8: You touched on this one.

122
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 11: Second twenty You know you're part of a small group

123
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 11: now that has started as a that's going to start

124
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 11: as a quarterback in his fort is how much.

125
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: Pride do you take in that?

126
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 4: What's interesting? Man?

127
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 5: I think over the last it's always it's always one

128
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 5: of those things that, like I think, as a football player,

129
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 5: you just want to play.

130
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: But I think you.

131
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 5: Got to give a lot of credit to obviously Tom

132
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 5: for anybody even thinking about doing it. Obviously there was

133
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 5: guys before you have, you know, Warren Moon and I

134
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 5: talked about it a couple weeks ago. Have any Testaverity

135
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 5: and other guys that have done it. But I mean

136
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 5: he pushed the boundaries like he did in absolutely everything. No,

137
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 5: you know, no.

138
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 4: No surprise that he did it in that way as well.

139
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 5: But you know, it's I don't think it's necessarily something

140
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 5: that I actively think about until people kind of remind

141
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 5: me with texts and things like that, and you guys

142
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 5: ask me about it.

143
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: I don't.

144
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 5: I don't think it's a huge deal right now, but

145
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 5: I'm sure when I look back on it, it'll be

146
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 5: pretty cool.

147
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 12: Joe, you haven't practiced with Isaiah Fine yet, but speed

148
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 12: as well.

149
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 8: After time, What does that four three ninety to see bring.

150
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 13: To the offense?

151
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, I think anytime you bring that kind of

152
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 5: speed to an offense, it can help a lot of

153
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 5: things out run game.

154
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 4: Short passing game.

155
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 5: I think when you have a guy like Jerry on

156
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 5: the other side who can really you know, we have

157
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 5: a lot of confidence can win against anybody, it makes

158
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 5: it harder for defenses to kind of, you know, maybe

159
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 5: pay more attention to him.

160
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 4: And things like that. So yeah, it can open up,

161
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: you know, all kinds of possibilities.

162
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: So you ask you on this.

163
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 6: Question about how's your want really, I feel like it does.

164
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 8: Mentally it would be an.

165
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 11: Advantage to be a longer how much how much do

166
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 11: you understand defense now as opposed to when you.

167
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 5: Were Yeah, listen, I think the thing that as you

168
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 5: get in the league, no matter what position you are,

169
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 5: the part of it that you deal with mentally that

170
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 5: maybe is a little bit of a struggle, not an

171
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 5: advantage is that you do there's time you got to

172
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 5: fight like the boredom and the monotony of doing it

173
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 5: for so long. I mean, we've all been playing football

174
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 5: since we've been teenagers, and at some point we all

175
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 5: will be done. So I think when you can kind

176
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 5: of get into that ten year area, there is a

177
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 5: part of your brain that wants to make it, you know,

178
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 5: doing this again. And I think I think that I've

179
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 5: been in a good position in the last few years

180
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 5: to kind of get over that mindset. But I think

181
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 5: that's the one actual kind of drawback that you have

182
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 5: as an older player, is that you know, you do

183
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 5: have to fight some of that, or you had to

184
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 5: fight it throughout your career. Now the advantages I think

185
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 5: I've gotten over that to a certain extent and now

186
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 5: and you feel very good about where you are and

187
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 5: all positions, but.

188
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 4: Specifically a quarterback.

189
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 5: You definitely should get better as your age climbs up,

190
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 5: because you know, and even if there's things that you

191
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 5: haven't seen before and somehow somebody's creating something new, it's.

192
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: Just you're.

193
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 5: The way that you react to that is a little

194
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 5: bit more. You can tell us a little bit more

195
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 5: experienced than a younger guy that it might throw them

196
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 5: off a little bit. So, yeah, there's definitely advantages as

197
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 5: you get older in this league, no matter what position

198
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 5: you are, if you can keep your physical health, then

199
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 5: you know, the more mentally sharp you are the better

200
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 5: you're gonna bit.

201
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 14: You heard from Tom Brady or you know, Hearn's know

202
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 14: things to do this camp, But have you heard from

203
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 14: any of those other guys that have made it past forty.

204
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: And you're still doing no?

205
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 5: You know, I think that's probably one of the things

206
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 5: I'm not great at, is reaching out to people and

207
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 5: lean on people. I'm sure they'd be open to kind

208
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 5: of share whatever. So I wish I was, you know,

209
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: to be honest with you, I probably wish that I

210
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 5: would be better at that and be able to kind

211
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 5: of reach out to some of those guys and see

212
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 5: how they've dealt with it, because obviously, you know, nobody's

213
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 5: done it better.

214
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 4: But I haven't to this point a couple of weeks away.

215
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 8: But you know that seems like you're fun to return

216
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 8: to Barimore.

217
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 11: Shoot're gonna have a thirty three hand versus celebrasion or

218
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 11: the back your mind?

219
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 15: Now that you know that your QB one right now?

220
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 15: Is that kind of peep in the back of your mind?

221
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 5: I love playing in Baltimore, such a special place, unbelievable

222
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 5: fans U Division game. I mean, it doesn't get much

223
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 5: better than that. So you know that is what the

224
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 5: plan is, and it would definitely be very exciting.

225
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: So when you got here in twenty twenty three, it

226
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: was real obvious how to waltravit taking it to.

227
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: You immediately when you walked into the work.

228
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: If you experience a similar thing this year and you know,

229
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: is it possible to recapture that? I know you want

230
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: to keep that in the review mirror and it doesn't

231
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: really factor into your your scope on the future, but

232
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: you know it just yeah, I think it came together

233
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: felt so special.

234
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 8: Is that Are you able to kind.

235
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: Of recreate that this year?

236
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 5: I think that's all about going out there and winning

237
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 5: football games. I think that's the one detriment of like

238
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: kind of having to split up reps so much during

239
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 5: training camp, is like you'd like to gain that rapport

240
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 5: with guys, not just to show them like not just

241
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 5: to get better on the field of guys, but also show.

242
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: Them like, hey man, I'm the guy. You know, let's

243
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 4: have some let's go have some fun.

244
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 5: So so hopefully over the next few weeks, you know,

245
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 5: we can make that happens. It's all about winning in

246
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 5: this league that if you can look at that, then

247
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 5: then it'll feel pretty special.

248
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 6: Have you had the chance to talk to the other

249
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 6: guys in the room.

250
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 4: After you the name of the starter?

251
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, we all, we all, I mean Kevin came in

252
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 5: the room and talked to all of us and then

253
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 5: we all talked. We've all talked. I mean, yet we're

254
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 5: in there, we're we're this close to each other every

255
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 5: single day.

256
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 4: I mean, there can be.

257
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 5: Some awkwardness, but at the end of the day, like

258
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 5: we're all adults, we just want to be honest with

259
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 5: each other and we want people to be honest with us.

260
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 5: And at the end, like if you get that we've

261
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 5: all been through situations like this, you feel good about

262
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 5: whatever it is. Honesty is the main thing. Looking somebody

263
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 5: in the eye and having a conversation with him is

264
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 5: the main thing. It doesn't mean you're going to be

265
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 5: happy and all that with whatever has happened and going on,

266
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 5: But I think that's all of us, all that any

267
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 5: of us can ask for. So listen, the guys in

268
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 5: that room are extremely professional and we all know how

269
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 5: to handle ourselves and we're friendly, so you know, it

270
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 5: is what it is.

271
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 4: I didn't have a specific message, you.

272
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 5: Know, you just kind of like you're just in there

273
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 5: and you kind of address it and then you go

274
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 5: on as usual.

275
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 7: A Joe, I think you've said that you've had pretty

276
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 7: much the same routine tough forever, but as you got older,

277
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 7: maybe in that second.

278
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 4: Decade in the leek, did you change anything, did you

279
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 4: add anything to stay fresh?

280
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 5: Listen, I think developing a routine in this league is

281
00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 5: super important for many reasons, you know, physically, mentally making

282
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 5: sure that you stay in the moment, I think is

283
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 5: one of the biggest ones. Is just kind of concentrating

284
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 5: on what's important in that moment, not getting ahead of

285
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 5: yourself in terms of a physical aspect. Like I'm really

286
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 5: lucky to you know, be with my trainer and kind

287
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 5: of like progress as the years have gone on and

288
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 5: a lot of the same things, but always doing.

289
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: Something new and more exciting.

290
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, a couple of years ago, it's

291
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 5: like I, you know, when you're twelve thirteen, all through

292
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 5: high school, Like I look back and I was like

293
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 5: I came to the realization, like, man, I was in

294
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 5: really good shape because I was playing football, I was

295
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 5: playing basketball, I was playing baseball. I was running around

296
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 5: with my friends playing pickup games. Like that's how you

297
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 5: kind of that's a big part of how you stay

298
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 5: in shape. So it's like when we get to adults

299
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 5: and you get into the work world, you stop doing

300
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 5: that thing, and it's not any like just because I'm

301
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 5: out here running around on a football field every day.

302
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 5: Yeah I'm a little bit active, but it's still only

303
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 5: an hour and a half. Like so, I think I

304
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 5: came to the realization like, oh man, I got to

305
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 5: get back to doing some of those things, playing games

306
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 5: and and having fun and doing so because you just

307
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 5: kind of out there doing it and you are getting

308
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 5: in shape, and you're you're moving laterally and forward and

309
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 5: doing all those things just to kind of keep your

310
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 5: body as active as possible.

311
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 4: Is there anything that surprises you.

312
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 5: I don't know if I have a specific but yeah,

313
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 5: I can be surprised for sure.

314
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 12: The teams you've been with since with Baltimore Crew, it

315
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 12: seems like four games and clicking stand out.

316
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 3: Why do you think it is numbers wise?

317
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 5: Well, listen, I think if you look back like on

318
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 5: this to this roster, they've had a pretty talented team.

319
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 5: I think specifically that year I can attest to it.

320
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 5: You know, they had an awesome guys up front, you know,

321
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 5: a good running back room, good receiver room, really good defense.

322
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 5: You know, to win in this league, you need to

323
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 5: have a team, you know, in a coaching staff that that's.

324
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: Ready to go.

325
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 5: And I think probably that Browns team, more than the

326
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 5: more than any of the others, were maybe just a

327
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 5: little bit more in.

328
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 4: That zone where they were ready to win.

329
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 5: I mean I was on some other talented teams too,

330
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 5: maybe a little bit younger and not quite ready to

331
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 5: get over that hump yet.

332
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 8: But you talk about pointing off the board.

333
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 10: And did should you or bring a little bit of

334
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 10: a different twister spin to it, because I just saw

335
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 10: you guys lamping on, you know, so often, and did

336
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 10: his presence kind of helped keep being sort of light

337
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 10: in the mind.

338
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 4: For you for sure?

339
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 5: I mean you're always looking for that's what That's what

340
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 5: being a part of a team is all about, you know,

341
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 5: making those connections with guys. It it puts us all

342
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 5: in that better mindset. In order to play really well,

343
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 5: you need to be in a great mindset, and I think,

344
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 5: you know, having those relationships and being able to laugh

345
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 5: about certain things but also get your work done is

346
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 5: a big part of being successful.

347
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 6: No One says, happy that you're in the starting role

348
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 6: and David and Joe boots and the post all over

349
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,920

350
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,360

351
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: Man.

352

Speaker 5: I mean, he refers to me by my full name.

353
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 5: He's been doing that since I've walked in the building

354
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago. Uh, Dave has a lot

355
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 5: of energy and he but you know, most importantly, you know,

356
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 5: he's a hell of a player.

357
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 16: Uh.

358
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 5: You just gotta get the ball in his hands. That's

359
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 5: the biggest thing. And you know, I listen. I hope

360
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 5: we can keep that enthusiasm going as as the season

361
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 5: starts and moves on, because he's a lot of fun

362
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 5: to be around. And if if we get things going well,

363
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 5: then it should be pretty fun. No, he just called

364
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 5: me Joe Flacough, he says, my last thing. You know,

365
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 5: it makes sense, you know, I don't know, like in

366
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 5: my experience, a lot of kids these days kind of

367
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 5: call their parents' friends by their first names. But and

368
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 5: I and and in my case, everybody kind of you know,

369
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 5: everybody knows professional athletes by their first name, so it

370
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 5: kind of makes sense. But mister, Yeah, if I heard

371
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 5: him say that, I'd probably hey, let's cut it.

372
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 4: Out on the messger.

373
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: Next, New Brown's wide receiver Isaiah Bond talks to the

374
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: media for the first time since being in Cleveland.

375
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 17: I am very excited to be a Cleveland Brown. I've

376
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 17: been playing football since six that I know. It's a

377
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 17: great privilege to play in the NFL, and I'm very

378
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 17: very grateful for that. I know there's gonna be questions

379
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 17: about the allegations, but my agent and my attorney have

380
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 17: advised me not to go into details on that. Since

381
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 17: day one, I proclaimed my innocence and I stay here

382
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 17: today in that same way. I'm very excited to get

383
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 17: to know my teammates and show the Cleveland Brown community

384
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 17: why they made the right decision.

385
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 7: All for questions, how long will take you to get

386
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 7: up to speed you think.

387
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 15: With NFL off here, Yes, sir, I've been told the past.

388
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 17: I'm a very very quick learner, so I should say

389
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 17: it shouldn't take that long. Just learned the offense, getting

390
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 17: getting around the guys, and you know, getting the extra

391
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 17: time with the coaches, getting with my teammates, so it

392
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 17: shouldn't take that long.

393
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: The news that man's gonna start his name.

394
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 17: That news came out, I just seemed like the the

395
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 17: deal with the Browns can tailing pretty quickly.

396
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: You know that you came here on a thirty visit.

397
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 3: Just from your perspective asppos that communication like maybe the

398
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 3: team during.

399
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 15: The process, and was there any thought that you know you.

400
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 3: Wouldn't be a pug?

401
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, I appreciate the question, but my agent

402
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 17: and my attorney I have advised not to go in

403
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 17: details on that.

404
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 10: I said, what can you say to Brown's fans, uh,

405
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 10: so that they have a comfort level in knowing, uh

406
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 10: that they're getting a player who will.

407
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 14: Be a productive member of the community as well as

408
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 14: a great player on the field.

409
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

410
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 17: I want people to know me as as a great

411
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 17: human not only just a great athlete. I will be

00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 17: doing community service in the area to to people unless

Speaker 17: these you know, non profit organizations for sure.

414
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 3: Can ask you one question.

415
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 16: You said you you proclamire innocent exp that's great, But.

416
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 8: Also in your statement you said you've learned.

417
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 3: From that experience.

418
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 8: So if you are completely innocent, what did you.

419
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 3: Learn from that experience?

420
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 17: I've learned, uh to place my faith in God and

421
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 17: then not take my blessings for granted.

422
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 8: Isaiah, how did you stay in shape but.

423
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,080

Speaker 15: Uh, I've been practice in two days.

425
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 17: I mean I've been playing sports my whole life, so

426
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 17: working out it's just like getting up and waking up.

427
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 17: I've been working out this whole time, even in this

428
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 17: little off period, so I'm well conditioned.

429
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,480

00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 15: Think that played in It definitely played a big role toim.

432
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 17: M Rives, was my OC at Alabama, said, I definitely

433
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 17: played a big role, so he already knows my skill set.

434
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 17: Andrew Berry and my agent have been talking since the draft.

435
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 17: And also I admired Jerry Judy growing up. That's one

436
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 17: reason I went to Alabama, and my agent said that

437
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 17: the Browns want you. I said, let's go to just

438
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 17: to be under the wing of a guy like Jared

439
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 17: Judy to take his his uh his pickest brain, and

440
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 17: it's him to give me some tips.

441
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 15: I said. It was a no brainer.

442
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 8: Isaia, coming into camp at at this.

443
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,159

445
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,119

00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: you face now walking in the door and hit the

447
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:57,840

Speaker 16: Chapitin.

449
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 17: I think the biggest challenge is learned that playbook. But

450
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 17: for me, I don't see that as a big challenge.

451
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 17: That's just something I have to do.

452
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:06,760

00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 17: Barry have a great relationship. Like I said, they've been

475
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 17: talking before the draft and after the draft, so that

476
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 17: definitely was a a big factor in that.

477
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 8: I say, I understand it.

478
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 10: You did some pre draft with them, Now Big Sean

479
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 10: and just wondering, you know, how well did you get

480
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 10: to know Big Shan?

481
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 16: What was that like looking out with.

482
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,959

483
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 14: when he also gets.

484
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,000

00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 17: Yes, ma'am at quinch Sewan, he's a great human, great guy.

486
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 17: I got to know him for a little bit of time.

487
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 17: But I think any wide receiver loves to have a

488
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 17: great running back and that's what he is. So I'm

489
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 17: excited for him to get up here as well.

490
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 11: What is it your major baries big on giving young

491
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 11: players second chances or giving them opportunities when they go

492
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 11: through different home things in their lives.

493
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,159

497
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 17: the right decision.

498
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 8: Saying where, uh, where do you bring to the team

499
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 8: that's a receiver.

500
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 17: I'm bringing what I bring to the team as a receiver.

501
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 17: I'm bringing speed, playmaking and also hard work.

502
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 18: As say, you said, you've been in contact with the

503
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 18: Browns since the draft? Was it regular contract? I mean,

504
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 18: how frequent was the contra Ah, could you you know

505
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,880

507
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 17: Yes, sir, the contact was definitely very very frequent. They

508
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 17: definitely did their due diligence. There was along the whole way. So,

509
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 17: like I said, Andrew Barry.

510
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 15: My agent have been in great contact.

511
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,240

512
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,400

Speaker 3: Uh.

529
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 17: I think any young receiver is definitely gonna get go

530
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 17: into that veteran guy in the room and say what's

531
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 17: up the PI? This is a you know, introduce myself.

532
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 17: But I got said Jared ud He's amazing athlete, amazing receiver,

533
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 17: and that's definitely God I'm gonna take from Wyma had

534
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 17: a lot of.

535
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 10: UH receivers that are known as speed streets don't necessarily,

536
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 10: you know, cow a well rounded.

537
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 8: Game just in terms of whom you receive them.

538
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 19: So what about you?

539
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 14: Uh, you know it makes you more than just the

540
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,200

Speaker 3: Yeah.

542
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 17: I think if you actually turn on the tape and

543
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 17: watch the highlights just said just the highlights, watch the film,

544
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 17: you would see I'm a complete receiver. I know how

545
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 17: to run the whole route you. I'm not just a

546
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 17: fast guy. I'm not just catching screens. If you watch

547
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 17: the plaz where I'm not catching the ball, I get

548
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 17: open a lot so I could just say I'm a

549
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 17: very complete receiver. And like I said, I'm ready bring

558
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 15: No, it didn't. It didn't affect my time.

559
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 4: What happened I went through like pretty.

560
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 15: Good, yes, sir, back in mor Yes, sir.

561
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 4: Uh.

562
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 17: Like I said, I went out there and I gave

563
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 17: my best shot, and sometimes you fall short.

564
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 15: So that's like sometimes still what is your best forties speed?

565
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 15: My best forty speech i've ever ran was four two?

566
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 3: Did you go through this whole thing? Were you ever

567
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: worried that you one going to get this chance.

568
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 4: Right now that you got? Yeah?

569
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 17: So I think anyone, especially my predicament, thinks that they

570
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 17: wouldn't get that chance. But like I said, I've I

571
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 17: placed my faith in God during this time and not

572
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 17: to take things for granted. So that's also helped me

573
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 17: get through these times for sure, last one.

574
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 10: Here to land here in Cleveland and play for the

575
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,640

Speaker 3: We had other opportunities to go last night.

577
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 17: I think it was so important for me just to

578
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 17: you know, just be able to come in and just

579
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 17: play right away.

583
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 17: Reese and Jerry Judy, those those factors all played a

584
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 17: huge part of this decision.

00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 19: ourselves in a different uh feeling in situation. I think

631
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 19: it was good for the team.

632
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 8: How big was it that last day?

633
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 16: I know you got you guy said some picks day one,

634
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 16: not date two, I don't think, but you guys kept

635
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,239
Speaker 16: them out of the end zone yeah that day.

636
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 8: So how how big was that? I know you had

637
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 8: that nice player.

638
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, n that was huge on especially in the

639
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 19: red zone. Were trying to eliminate as as many points

640
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 19: as possible. Uh we call it four point plays and

641
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 19: forcing them to kick a field goal and so uh

642
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 19: that was our goal just uh even we're not getting

643
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 19: those interceptions, denying our man the ball and uh, just

644
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 19: still trying to make plays.

645
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 8: Well, you guys are.

646
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 16: Talking so much about trying to get back to do

647
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 16: you think you were here.

648
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 8: The first time with how those practices winning field and

649
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 8: it seems like you guysually dominated the ways you did

650
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 8: on that side. Are you do you feel like you're

651
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 8: starting to see sort of the remnants.

652
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 19: Of that return, especially with your Yeah, it's just a

653
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 19: building block, you know, taking it a day at a time.

654
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 19: So I think the uh that was a good, good

655
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 19: progression onto trying to get to where we wanna get to,

656

Speaker 19: uh we got the same schedule as the regular season.

669
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,080

Speaker 19: Uh, I mean anytime you could, whether it's practice a game,

680
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 19: but just getting reps and uh just going against uh competition,

681
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 19: other competition. It's just good for yourself, just uh getting

682
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 19: like I said, it's just reps, getting reps on tasks. Uh,

683
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 19: that's how it's gonna be during the season, getting the

684
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 19: looks that you need to see, and uh, just playing football.

685
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 8: I know you guys always.

686
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 16: Talk about only controlling what you can and and being

687
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 16: behind no matter.

688
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 5: Whoever is quartermating behind that guy.

689
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 16: But just the fact that that competition is wrapped up,

690
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 16: did you there like a sense of relief or or

691
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 16: anything like that, Like, Okay, we.

692
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 8: Know what direction we're going in now.

693
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 4: Oh, I think it.

694
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 19: I think it's a ongoing competition. I mean, that's that's

695
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 19: all of us. You can't uh feel too secure and

696
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 19: just complacent. Uh, Like I I don't feel complacently. I

697
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 19: still feel people tryna come take my job, and uh

698
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 19: you know, I'm i'm'a make sure that doesn't happen. But uh,

699
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 19: I think it's an ongoing competition. So, uh, Joe, he's

700
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 19: he's a starter. But I hope those guys are thinking, Hey,

701
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 19: I'm still coming and uh working to be in that

702
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 19: starter starter position, and uh, I mean I think that's

703
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 19: what it's all about.

704
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 9: You look at those young corners, you guys Mitchell, guys

705
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 9: like that. How are you seeing them?

706
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 19: Yeah, progressing, getting a lot of reps and uh working hard.

707
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 19: They wanna be great and uh just gotta keep pushing

708
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 19: and keep working, and that's what these days are for the.

709
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 16: Like how much guys shoots, especially veteran guy like yourself.

710
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 8: Do you think everybody to a degree needs some of

711
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 8: these russ in the preseason to kind of get right?

712
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 8: Is it case by case?

713
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 4: Yeah?

714
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 19: I honestly think I think it's case by case. Honestly, every

748
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 19: you know, just a little bit their stulf in the NFL.

749
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say it's one of the elite

750
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 3: defensive backs, nest one.

751
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 12: I'm just curious how you evaluate the quarterbacks and yourself.

752
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 4: How real the dif from.

753
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 19: Yeah, I don't think I could go through each one

754
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 19: right now, but man, they're all competitors. I would say

755
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 19: they're all competitors are working hard to uh be in

756
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 19: that starter position at number one spot. I mean, it's

757
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 19: it's the NFL, so a guy could be started this

758
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 19: week and it'd be a new starter next week.

759
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 4: So you never know.

760
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 19: You just gotta come ready, you know, be prepared for

761
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 19: when your moment or your moment comes the.

762
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: Other side of the ball.

763
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 9: At a guy like EA in Texas, you see from

764
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 9: the football since here cans with.

765
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: Things he can do.

766
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 9: Forty it's a defensive back and you have to think

767
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 9: about a guy like that, what does that?

768
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: Does that affect you?

769
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 19: Uh yeah, yeah, I'm gonna have to check him out somewhere.

770
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 19: I haven't I haven't checked them out too much yet,

771
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 19: but it sounds like he got some good speed on him,

772
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 19: so you know, you can't go wrong with with speed

773
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 19: out there on the field. So I'm looking forward to

774
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,479
Speaker 19: going against him and seeing how he operates out here

775
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 19: on the field. But yeah, hopefully be helpful for the team,

776
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 19: like we're all trying to be and go from there.

777
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 18: I know it's too early you can talk specifically about

778
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 18: the snake, but when you know you have that as

779
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 18: your open you know, you know an opponent like Cincinnati

780
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 18: specifically a guy like Jamar that you're gonna be lined up.

781
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 18: How much does that sort of add a little extra

782
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 18: fuel if if they're all to the you know, the

783
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 18: run up during the off season to to to even

784
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 18: training camps, just knowing that, you know, first then out

785

788
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 19: You gotta be ready to go, and it's putting your

789
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 19: focus on what you gotta focus on. And like I said,

790
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 19: they're a great, great team, great offense, great player obviously

791
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 19: Jamar Higgins, all those guys.

792
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 4: So you gotta come ready to play.

793
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 19: And uh, that's where we're working tours and I'm thinking

794
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 19: we gonna be ready finally.

795
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 2: Head coach Kevin Stefanski talks about his decision to make

796
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco the starting quarterback for week one.

797
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 7: You just address your decision to mean Joe your Yeah,

798
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 7: you know, all along been evaluating our guys and uh,

799
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 7: I thought Joe has performed really well in camp and

800
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 7: going back to the off season program. I thought he's

801
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 7: done exactly what we've asked him to do. And I

802
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 7: think we have a lot of confidence in him.

803
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 4: And when they started to further notice or from season.

804
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 7: Or day to day, we didn't think I obviously, as

805
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 7: you know, Tony, don't get into uh those type of

806
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 7: things right now. UH, have a ton of faith in Joe,

807
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 7: have confidence in Joe. I'm excited for him. Uh well,

808
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 7: we his teammates, UH know what he's about.

809
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 3: He's a hard worker. How will the rest of the

810
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 3: cut your room shake out?

811
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 4: The trip of the deep?

812
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 7: Tim not so concerned about that chart. Uh Honestly, really

813
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 7: like our guys. They continue to work very hard, all

814
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 7: of them. Uh A, As you make decisions like this,

815
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 7: you talk to the guys and you let you let

816
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 7: them in on on your thought process. But all of

817
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 7: them should consider themselves get ready as a starter. That's

818
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 7: how you have to handle being a backup in this league.

819
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 17: So you'd say it's still like uh, I would say,

820
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 17: an open competition, but you know in terms of you know,

821
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 17: the sign of how it Autio's out, you know, you've

822
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 17: got still competing for those roles.

823
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, we talked long ago with our every

824
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 7: player on the team that uh, you know, these roles

825
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 7: are not given out, they're earned and and that's something

826
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 7: that will always be true uh at any position.

827
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 17: Uh.

828
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 7: I will tell you I'm very very pleased with that

829
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 7: group and and how hard they're working two for week.

830
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 3: One it right now, I'm not.

831
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 8: As along those lines. What's the leaders with Kenny.

832
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 7: Participation for He's gonna uh do some limited work today,

833
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 7: which is great. You know, he continues to progress nicely.

834
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 8: Can be safe to.

835
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 10: Say that that Joe earned this job and it wasn't

836
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 10: just by default because some of the other guys were talented.

837
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, he earned it and and I understand uh uh

838
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 7: with the injuries how that may look, that's that's really

839
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 7: not the case here.

840
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 4: Joe.

841
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 7: Joe performed really well both in practice and the joint

842
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 7: practices in the meeting room, uh you name and the

843
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 7: walkthrough just what he's able to bring the football team

844
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 7: he's he's earned that role.

845
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 18: N you said, when do you say Kimmy's gonna be

846
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 18: limited in a limited role? Does that mean more than

847
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 18: just you know, because he had been limited before?

848
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 17: Is it?

849
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 3: Is he gonna get eleven on eleven? He'll get some

850
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 3: eleven on eleven?

851
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 19: Yes?

852
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 7: And what about Shador? Gonna do a little bit less today?

853
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 7: Give him a break and see how response and then

854
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 7: see how he's feeling for tomorrow.

855
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 12: Kevin is bon What what can he do to help yours?

856
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 19: Yeah?

857
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 7: I think like any player that comes in, we need

858
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 7: to get him up to speed, Jeff and and see

859
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 7: what uh where he fits in those type of things.

860
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 3: But uh, certainly he's got the right attitude and and

861
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 3: we'll know more over the next couple of days.

862
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 9: One of the challenges of him to make that as

863
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 9: long as it's like battling forward him sometimes he's been

864
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 9: through so many different training camps.

865
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 8: How how do you keep a guy who seems so

866
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 8: much engaged?

867
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 3: Yeah?

868
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 7: I was around far when he was forty years old,

869
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 7: and Brett used to call them meetings beatings. Uh So, Yeah,

870
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 7: I think Joe's got got the right attitude. There's a

871
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 7: lot of minutia that goes into football. There's a lot

872
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 7: of meetings that aren't so fun, and they're typically very

873
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 7: early in the morning, so you'd better bring your cup

874
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 7: of coffee with you. But Joe does a really nice

875
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 7: job of not getting bored and making sure that he's

876
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 7: you know, on point with all of the line calls,

877
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 7: whether it's protection or running.

878
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 8: When when bullets flob goes right away.

879
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 2: How can it help you, guys, to have somebody who

880
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 2: has seen so many different looks throughout his career.

881
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, obviously there's value in experience, and that's something that

882
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 7: Joe has a ton of experience as a starter, as

883
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 7: a backup in different systems, going against different schemes. So

884
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 7: he'll certainly lean on that experience and we will as well.

885
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 8: I know you guys, Joe understands the long term quarterback situation.

886
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 1: You're better than anybody, and none of knock on the young.

887
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 8: Guys and ken years obviously, or how important is it

888
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 8: to have the season start with.

889
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: A quarterback the guys believe in that they know gives

890
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: them the best chance to win.

891
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 7: Honestly, Tom, I I do think the guys believe in Joe,

892
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 7: But I want to give credit to that entire group.

893
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 7: I think those guys are working very very hard. We

894
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 7: have a standard for that position, regardless of who's in there. UH,

895
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 7: practice games, how we operate, what we believe in. We

896
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 7: we have a very very high standard.

897
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 13: UH.

898
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 7: Obviously Joe, having done it at a high level, has

899
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 7: done it here as well. That that lends itself to

900
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 7: confidence in himself and confidence from his teammates.

901
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 3: Joe said he expects to play. You know how long

902
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 3: your starters have played up. Let me get through the

903
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 3: next couple of days. I'll talk to you guys on

904
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 3: whatever day that is Thursday, our Friday.

905
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 16: Tell you well, I know you guys have talked about

906
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 16: being happy with the rookies and and cow big progress.

907
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 16: So with Joe being in the starters, what's important for

908
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 16: them now going into.

909
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 7: The Yeah, rookie development UH never ends and and player

910
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 7: development never ends. And you know I've told you guys before,

911
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 7: we're we're obsessive about that and and especially at that

912
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 7: quarterback position, but at all positions.

913
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 4: So those guys will will.

914
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 7: Constantly be working and and constantly be taking advantage of

915
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 7: all the resources in this building. And and you know,

916
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 7: going back to the original point with UH, Joe. They're

917
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 7: they're in every meeting and then they need to prepare.

918
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 3: Uh to start.

919
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 7: That's what you have to do as a backup, certainly,

920
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 7: back up quarterback and back up anything. Uh, you have

921
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 7: to stay ready so you don't have to get anything.

922
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 12: Kevin, when you when you go through something you went

923
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 12: through twenty three in police for you in de Seawan

924
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 12: and then DPR as a rookie as a backup, how

925
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 12: much did you what you went through there?

926
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 18: Can it color your your decision on Canny?

927
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: You know, a veteran backup compared to a you know,

928
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 3: a guy like Dalarador is at your year.

929
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 7: I would tell you every year is different, every player

930
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 7: is different. So uh, well we'll make decisions on those type.

931
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 3: Of things, uh when appropriate, but uh, you know, every

932
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: year's different.

00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 7: And in what you need to see from Yeah, I

942
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 7: think with any young player as as you add them

943
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 7: to your team, it's it's the same conversation Daryl that

944
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 7: happened you know for a lot of guys back in April.

945
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 7: But uh, it's about earning a role. It's about earning

946
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 7: the trust to your teammates and your coaches, and then

947
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 7: he understands that and is ready to get you know,

948
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 7: get gone home tak every.

949
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 8: Time you res shared with you about Isaiah Bong.

950
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, as you can imagine, Mary Kay wouldn't get into

951
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 7: too s much specifics, but w we uh, with any player,

952
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 7: we wanna make sure we talk to everybody we can

953
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 7: and find out about the person as much as as

954
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 7: the football player. And uh, obviously Tommy was together with

955
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 7: Isaiah down there in Alabama.

956
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 4: It seems like you've run more and around to just

957
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 4: weeks a camp and maybe the preseason.

958
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 3: Did you agree with that or you forget the same?

959
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 3: I would assume it's the same as it's been.

960
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would coach.

961
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 6: You're a asked about the possibility of keeping four quarterbacks

962
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 6: on this roster Sunday and you said that you know

963
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 6: you're about to keep everyone, but it just not realistic.

964
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 3: You guys still are a plan.

965
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 7: Of per hal sk Yeah. When I said that, I mean,

966
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 7: for the in I'd like to keep ninety guys on

967
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 7: the roster. I don't think that's possible nor realistic when

968
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 7: it comes to every position that everything's up for determination

969
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 7: over the next couple of days.

970
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 3: So it is so realistic.

971
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 7: Take four quarterbacks, everything's realistic other than keeping ninety on

972
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 7: the mono roster R Roger one eleven.

973
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: Bon Bond's speed is well advertised. What does that need

974
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 3: for your offense when he gets.

975
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 4: Up to smooth?

976
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, no pun intended. Uh yeah.

977
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 7: Been around guys with world class speed before. Uh, you know,

978
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 7: I I could still remember Coach Zimmer talking about it

979
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 7: with defensive backs. Defensive backs respond to speed when they

980
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 7: have a guy across from that can run by, and

981
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 7: they respond to it. So we as coaches, wanna utilize

982
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 7: the speed of a player, whether he's a receiver, tight end,

983
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 7: you name it. W we wanna utilize that to our

984
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 7: advantage and and put that player in position where he

985
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 7: can uh run by defenders, give them the threat of

986
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 7: running by defenders. So, uh that that's something that we

987
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 7: have to do a really good job of utilizing in

988
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 7: this office.

989
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,959
Speaker 10: Kevin, you guys were really excited about Kenny pidgy talking

990
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 10: him of a lot of the only duties and the

991
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 10: whatnot being really.

992
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 16: Nice first four days.

993
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 8: Would you say is accurate to.

994
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 14: Say that he had a very legitimate chance to come

995
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 14: a year and try to win this.

996
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 12: Yeah.

997
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,959
Speaker 7: I'm still excited, uh about Kenny the the player, the person.

998
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 7: I've been around him now, Mary Kay for uh many

999
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 7: months and and I know what he's about.

1000
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 3: I know how he was performing. The injury was unfortunate,

1001
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 3: but it hasn't.

1002
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 7: Stopped him from being engaged as it stopped him from

1003
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 7: knowing exactly what's going on day to day basis.

1004
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 3: He's getting as much work as as he can right now. Uh,

1005
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 3: but he has performed really.

1006
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 4: Really well.

1007
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 20: Kind of going back to the development in part, how

1008
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 20: beneficial is it for the young guys Dylan Intrador to

1009
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 20: be able to start the season and go into it

1010
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 20: with a guy like Joe Flatto who's obviously done this

1011
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 20: for a while and has the mindset of we by

1012
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 20: example rather than just being a vocal back.

1013
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 3: I think it's it's an interesting question.

1014
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 7: I think it's uh, you know, we talk a lot

1015
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 7: about leadership and then there's followership, and it's our.

1016
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 3: Job as coaches.

1017
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 7: Sometimes our job as players to be good followers and

1018
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 7: be able to listen and be able to take in, uh,

1019
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 7: how someone is setting the example, maybe not by like

1020
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 7: you like you said, Cam, maybe not being very vocal.

1021
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 7: So whether it's Joe or anybody else, it's our job,

1022
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 7: certainly as players and young guys especially to be really

1023
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 7: good watchers, really good listeners and and and observe as

1024
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 7: as we start to start this career for these young players.

1025
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 5: Of your active number two quarterback would change from week

1026
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 5: to week or would you like to avoid that?

1027
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't get into too many hypotheticals.

1028
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 4: Sorry, Coach.

1029
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 13: Through two games, that defense has allowed sixteen points. You know,

1030
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 13: allowed only eighty eight yards to the Eagles.

1031
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 19: Kind of what have you liked from them?

1032
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 13: You know, in practice in these games and from the.

1033
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 7: Death that you got really pleased with our defensive performance

1034
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 7: and practice in the games. But in the games, I

1035
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 7: think you see our personality. I think you see the

1036
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 7: speed to the ball. I think you see guys playing hard,

1037
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 7: playing physical. Coach Shorts and the defense staff do a

1038
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 7: great job of coaching that out of our players. It's

1039
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 7: natural in most of our players. But there's a style

1040
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 7: to which we play and I think it's been on

1041
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 7: display the last.

1042
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 13: Couple weeks and the two takeaways that you guys have had.

1043
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 13: You know, how do you translate any of those takeaways

1044
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 13: into the regular season.

1045
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, three takeaways if you count Bookis on special teams,

1046
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 7: and then we had one negated unfortunately by a penalty.

1047
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: But those are huge.

1048
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 7: It's a point of emphasis for our football team. It's

1049
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 7: something that will work today and really every day.

1050
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 8: Cornelius left the game with the ankle and reship.

1051
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 3: Your vote up on that or is the situation?

1052
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 8: Ask about great news?

1053
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 7: You had no update on on Luke. He's rehabbing, He's

1054
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 7: not out here today. Greg continues to get better and better.

1055
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 7: He'll be out here of practice in a limited role.

1056
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 11: Kevin, you mentioned far before, Joe will now be in

1057
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 11: a short list of guys in their forties that have

1058
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 11: started in this league. I mean, what kind of accomplishment

1059
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 11: is that above?

1060
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's incredible, you know, I think coach Schwartz again

1061
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 7: does a great job of recognizing with the defense, guys

1062
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 7: that make it to double digits, when you make it

1063
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 7: to ten years, and that doesn't happen by accident. And

1064
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 7: then when you talk about at the quarterback position, the

1065
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 7: battles that those guys go through every day, the battles

1066
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 7: that they go through, certainly on Sundays, with people you know,

1067
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 7: trying to come after them in every direction. So I

1068
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 7: admire all our players and what they put their bodies through.

1069
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 7: But the guys that can get double digit seasons in

1070
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 7: this league, it's really remarkable.

1071
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 1: A couple more the right way to August twenty six

1072
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: is getting shorter and shorter here, Just what do you

1073
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 1: tell those.

1074
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 8: Guys that are you know, fighting for those back end

1075
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 8: roster spots and even.

1076
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 3: For you know, shot at the practice spot there?

1077
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: What do you tell those guys this time of year,

1078
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: not only from a confidence standpoint or an engagement standpoint,

1079
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: but just you know general is.

1080
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 7: I think the point there, Darryl is you earn roles.

1081
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 7: Like we talked about before, Uh, these guys are are

1082
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 7: have done a really, really good job. They're gonna make

1083
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 7: some tough decisions. We're making decisions based on.

1084
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 3: The entirety of their evaluation, the entirety of.

1085
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 7: What they've done to date. So you don't want to

1086
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 7: quote unquote press for young players. You want to just

1087
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 7: keep continuing to do what you've been doing on a

1088
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 7: day to day business.

1089
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 10: When you went, they have a more sum of Dylan

1090
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 10: and maybe you didn't have those giveaways in your head

1091
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 10: so prominently.

1092
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 14: Did you feel maybe even better just about his operation

1093
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 14: of the whole thing and could you have been any

1094
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 14: happier che Mortees and their two starts.

1095
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 7: Well, I think again, we're We're pleased with the progress

1096
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 7: of our young players. You know, Dylan and Schador are

1097
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 7: gonna make plays in games, and then we want to

1098
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 7: teach off the plays that aren't exactly how we want them.

1099
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 7: So that's with young players at the quarterback position or

1100
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 7: otherwise you're gonna make mistakes. You're gonna have the wrong read,

1101
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 7: or you gonna have the wrong footwork or whatever it is,

1102
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 7: and then it's our job as coaches to get those corrected.

1103
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 7: So I'm really pleased with where those guys are and

1104
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 7: understand that they will continue to get better.

1105
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 3: Kevin going on Joseph that he you know, he brought.

1106
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 4: All the quarterbacks that though, to tell him that I'll

1107
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 4: get to start.

1108
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 3: How do you feel like I went, You know, you'd

1109
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 3: have to ask that.

1110
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 4: I thought that was.

1111
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 3: Pretty good, but not sure. Kevin just going back to

1112
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: Isaiah obvious.

1113
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 9: When you add a player like that in his situation,

1114
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 9: how involved are you kind of getting to know him

1115
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 9: and how comfortable how comfortable are you with the process

1116
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 9: that Andrew.

1117
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think Andrew and Steff I think he's mentioned

1118
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 7: this to you before. These are things that we do

1119
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 7: our due diligence. We don't rush any of those type

1120
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 7: of things. So and then for me, he was a

1121
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 7: player that we did a lot of work on and

1122
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 7: off the field, and met with him at the combine,

1123
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 7: met with him here.

1124
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 3: So somebody that we felt like we had a lot

1125
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:46,880
