1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: A coach, good coach. Uh, you've had some issues and 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: opis called on you, but those crossing routes the last 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,079 Speaker 1: three or four games, Um, what's the issue is? Is 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: it it's just a matter of selling your blows? Is 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: it technique wise? What seems to be an issued yet? Well, 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: it's something we've got to clean up, you know, as 7 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: a group, as a whole. I mean, each one's got 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: his own individual issues. We've got to make sure we're 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: cleaner on that and not putting ourselves in positions for 10 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: the officials to make penalties. Uh. So we've gotta keep 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: on moving and in the right way, make sure we 12 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: don't do it the wrong way. Coach, just to follow up, 13 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: but you saw that ingram flag last week. Did you 14 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: agree with that flag or did you kind of like 15 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: have to grab ingram and clean that up a little bit? Well, 16 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter whether we agree with it or not. 17 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: It was a penalty. So we talked all of our 18 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: players about what happened, why it was called, and what 19 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: we have to do differently to make sure we don't 20 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: put anybody in position to have a penalty called on them. 21 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: Thank you. So, how did how did you think Golden 22 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: handled the situation last week once you guys had that 23 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: conversation and and you came to the decisions that you did. Um, 24 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: you know, he was in a different role obviously, Uh 25 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: during the weekend. Yeah, Look, we're kind of past that 26 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: issue right now. Tom. We're you know, getting ready to 27 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: play Philly right now. Golden's getting ready to play Philly 28 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: as well. Right now. I love the way keen of 29 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: practice yesterday. I love the ways preparing so far. Today 30 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna be on the field today, will be over 31 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: in the stadium. They would be good opportunity for the 32 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: entire team to work on the turf for a day 33 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: today and get moving forward with it. But look, we're 34 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: totally past the whole, you know, situation last week. It 35 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: is what it is looking forward to getting gold on 36 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: field with us when we're rolling fast. How's Freeman doing? 37 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: And uh, where's your running back rotation at now? With 38 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: the way Wayne's performed, and even if he does come back, Yeah, 39 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: in terms of the rotation part, at first, it's look, 40 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: whoever's at the game, we're gonna look to use. And 41 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: I think right now Burton is doing a good job 42 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: just mixing those guys in throughout the game and kind 43 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: of keeping them fresh. Jordan's so, you know, we discussed 44 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: obviously keeping everybody involved before the game and as we 45 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: get into the game. You know, Burton does a good 46 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: job of knowing, you know, where everybody is individually and 47 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: keeping everyone involved. You know, DeVante moved around yesterday. He 48 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: looks like he's getting better along the way. Today's the 49 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: first day we'll get to see him really moving full 50 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: speed Jordan, so we'll get a much better look at 51 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: him today in terms of how he looks um but 52 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: he's definitely making progress. He's working hard on everything. The 53 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: trainers and the coach that asked him right there, so 54 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: he's fighting hard to get back. I feel like I 55 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: asked since every few weeks, but and Wyne sort of 56 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: urged himself more opportunities. I think every player on the 57 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: team earned some self opportunities with the way they play. 58 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: I think right now, Wayne's doing a good job of 59 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: being productive for us as a team. He's made a 60 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: lot of improvement without the year. We have a lot 61 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: of confidence in Wayne. He's done a good job in 62 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: the run in the past game. I see improvements with 63 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: him in term of his past protection I've seen improvements 64 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: of him really running downhill and getting into space and 65 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: be able to make sure he extends drives right there. 66 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: So look, I'm pleased with the way Wayne's playing on 67 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: please without Alfred's playing. Davante is playing a Dion's plan. 68 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: You know, these guys have all done a good job 69 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: changed up and we handed the ball off to whether 70 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: it's a receiver or Evan or some different combinations we've had, 71 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: those guys have all ran the ball hard for so 72 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: I'm pleased with the way all of our guys in 73 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: the wrong game are playing. Leonard. Hey, Joe, you might 74 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: not be thinking about this right now, but I was 75 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: just curious. With the bye week coming up, teams can't 76 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: leave for their bye weeks now because of the protocol. 77 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: So you know, do you can you bring people's families 78 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: in so they can see their families or like fly 79 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: them in here, or do you have certain things organized 80 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: for guys to keep everything kind of contained, or do 81 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: you have to let them go? You know, how does 82 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: that all worthy? Well, everyone has to test every day, 83 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: So in terms of trying to keep them around here, 84 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: we're going to give them off next week Thursday Friday, 85 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: Saturday Sunday. I mean, that's gonna be done for the 86 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: players already. You know, we can make it available for 87 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: the players that their families come in to come in 88 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: and get tested and make sure they're in the right position. 89 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: I've talked to a couple of our guys already. I'm 90 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: not gonna specifically as who that are looking to bring 91 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: their families up. We just want to make sure that 92 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: everyone has what they need on the front end. Maybe 93 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: get their families up here a little bit early, uh, 94 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: the opportunity, get them tested, to make sure everyone's in 95 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: kind of same situation of knowing where we've been, you know. 96 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: That being said, I think it just comes down to 97 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: we all have to be very you know, conscious of 98 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: what we do in a few in those few days 99 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: off and make the right decisions on where we go 100 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: and who were around, you know, And that's that's easier 101 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: said than done. Look, I can tell you personally from 102 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: my standpoint, I've got a I got a ninth graders 103 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: in high school. He's going to high school right now 104 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: with kids from all over New York, New Jersey, some 105 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: parts of Pennsylvania going to his high school. So it's 106 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: a deal, right, there where. You know, I've got to 107 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: remind him on a daily basis too, of like, hey, look, dude, 108 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: like you've got to make sure you wear your mask. 109 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: You know, there's been a lot of weekends where you know, 110 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: I haven't been able to let him just go out 111 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: and hang out at parties or walk the streets of 112 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: some of the towns and hang out, because to be 113 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: honest with you, we've got to be conscious of if 114 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: I let him do that, what am I bringing back 115 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: into my house? What mavering back the team? So it's tough, 116 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: you know, there's tough effects that has on everyone's individual families. 117 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: A lot of sacrifices people are making, uh they go 118 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: very unnoticed, but like our players, families are making a 119 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: tremendous sacrifice as well. You know, you've got players that 120 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: haven't seen our wives or kids for some time now. 121 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: And whereas it's a normal year, they may flat for 122 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: the game weekend, see the aim. Obviously that's not the case. 123 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: In a normal year, with a normal bye week, they 124 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: would go home, see some family, you know, kind of 125 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: get a mental reset before coming back up. That's not 126 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: the case either. So we've got to do the best 127 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: job we can for the players of letting them have 128 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: some mental downtime on the back end of next week. 129 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: All right, that's something we have to do to kind 130 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: of let them refresh and go through. We've been pushing 131 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: these guys hard for some time. We're gonna push them 132 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: hard again today and tomorrow, and we get in the 133 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: next week. You know, we'll figure out what's best for 134 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: the team based on you know, how this weekend goes 135 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: in terms of practice versus walk through with the health 136 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: of the team and all that stuff. But at the 137 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: same time, we've got to let these guys have a 138 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: little bit of time. And four days in the season 139 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: now seems like a month, I'll tell you right now. 140 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: So you get four straight days of coach or a player, 141 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of you come back and everyone's a little 142 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: bit rusty too, to be honest with you. It's it's 143 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: amazing how fast you can forget basic things when you 144 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: can go ahead and shut your mind off for a minute. Um. 145 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: But we have to give them the opportunity to kind 146 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: of mentally reset and hopefully they do have the opportunities 147 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: to see family or see friends. Just want to make 148 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: sure that they do it safely. By knowing where everyone's 149 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: been and make sure everybody's you know, been tested. If 150 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: that's an opportunity, thanks, Let's say two more Art dougn 151 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: Hey Joe with Matt Party's obviously played both sides and 152 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: and that's a good thing for you. It's good for 153 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: him to get on the field. But when you look 154 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 1: at him, you obviously want him to I'm sure settling 155 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: in one spot eventually is his skill set better suited 156 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: for laugh or right or that determination? No, we have 157 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: made the determination right now. We're just pleased with how 158 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: he's playing on both sides and it's definitely been a 159 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: strength force. And because we're work into the guards as well, 160 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna start moving different guys on different sides. And 161 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: that may be new for a couple of guys Shane 162 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: Will and those guys who haven't typically played on the 163 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: right at different times, but we've practiced it that way, 164 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: we'll continue to practice it and play it. I talked 165 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: in training camp a lot about that in terms of, 166 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: you know, practicing all the alignment on both sides and 167 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: building in their flexibility and versatility. So you know, you 168 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: kind of talk initially of why that's important. I think 169 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: we're seeing right now, how that's important to the team 170 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: to give us the opportunity in games of playing different 171 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: guys on both sides. So you know, we're not looking 172 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: to play musical chairs just to confuse everybody. We're just 173 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,559 Speaker 1: looking to make sure that we keep building our team's 174 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: depth and get over an opportunity get on the field 175 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: and contribute. Thank sure. So here Art, Hey, Joe, I 176 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: know you're obviously gonna get really a first chance to 177 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: see Will back out there in pads, presumably today. I'm 178 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: just curious how do you handle that over the next 179 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: couple of days. I mean, I know it's it's I 180 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: assume great to have him back in the mix, But 181 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: does the medical team kind of have to handle his 182 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: situation differently than maybe you would a different type of injury, 183 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: And from your perspective, you know, how do you how 184 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: you handle that? Yeah, I as a coach, to be 185 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: honest with you, I rely on the medical team right here, 186 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: when they give us the thumbs up and say he 187 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: can do X y Z and practice, we put him 188 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: through X y Z. If they say he can't do something, 189 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: we don't ask him to do that right there. Um, 190 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: you know, right now, we're going to practice. We'll be 191 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: in pads today. Uh so it'll give everyone a chance 192 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: to kind of pop and get some contact and move 193 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: around with the weight on him. You know, we'll look good. 194 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: Yesterday it was only a walk through. We always typically 195 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: get a little bit of bounce and walk through. It's 196 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: a little bit more in the walk it's more of 197 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: a job to stry and however you want to phrase 198 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: that right there? Um, but we'll look good. Yes, they're 199 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: moving around. Um. Now that being said, there's a difference 200 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: and move around to walk through than it is going 201 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: through a practice of a high intensity. So we'll get 202 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: a chance to see him today and obviously our guys 203 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: will have their eyes on him to see how he 204 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: progresses throughout the day and then also how it recovers tomorrow. 205 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: There's a lot more things that can play than just 206 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: you know the whatever I say, the lungs and things 207 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: like that nature from this, you know, virus. It's also 208 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: just two weeks of not playing ball. What's the muscle fatigue, 209 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: the muscle swords, like, how's his body recovering? Just more 210 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: of the athletics stuff that comes with it. So we've 211 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: gotta take a look at Will and make sure we're 212 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: doing the right thing by him, and ultimately that would 213 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: be the right thing by the team. You mentioned earlier 214 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: this week, how you you are aware and conscious of 215 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: the by coming up next week? Is his also? Is 216 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: his situation also factor into that timeline and how much 217 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: you push over the next couple of days knowing that 218 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: you do have you know that on the back end, 219 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: we haven't really factored that in for his specific situation 220 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: and Will. To me, it's more of just where is 221 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: he individually, you know, in a physical nature right now. 222 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: It's a little bit different than the other guys coming 223 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: off possibly starting a clock on I R or whatever 224 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: that may be. It's a little bit different in that 225 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: realm because you're not battling the twenty one day thing 226 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: with Will, and he's back, he's on the active roster, 227 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: he's back into practice with the team. To me, it's 228 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: just making sure that any player you put on the 229 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: team can physically perform and defend themselves out there in action.
