1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,639 Speaker 1: Coach. Politick joins us, We're gonna start with Michael salt 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: fall Alley, and I'll ask anyone else to raise a 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,239 Speaker 1: hand if they want to ask a question. Thank you, 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: good morning, coach, Thanks for your time. Just curious if 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: this season, it September, feels like more of an extension 6 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: of the preseason and how important is is it for 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: you to kind of get everyone involved this weekend and 8 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: how to continue the evaluation process. I think it feels 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: about like it normally does this time of year. You know, 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: it's it's certainly September, it's time and star playing real games, 11 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 1: So I think it feels about the same. Um, it's 12 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: always important to keep improving all the way through the 13 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: start training camp at the end of the season to 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: our final practice. So um yeah, I definitely want to 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: try to keep improving in every area on a daily basis. 16 00:00:51,640 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: Thank you, you're welcome. Next question, Nichomalley falled by Niko O'Brien. Nikromala, 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: you're muted. How about now you're good? Okay? Um. With 18 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: lack of preseason and full contact snaps for players, has 19 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: that change the approach with snap counts and how willing 20 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: you are to have guys play full sixty seventy snap 21 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: games or do you expect to have a heavier rotation 22 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: than you normally would for a season opener. Yeah, I 23 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: think we just have to do it. We feel likes 24 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: best for the football team in this game and every week, 25 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: and so whatever that is, it'll be based on, you know, 26 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: a number of factors, the game, the game plan, how 27 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: it's going, what other players are involved in, certain personnel 28 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: groups and rotations and so forth. So well, we've talked 29 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: about that and it might be different for different players 30 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: or different positions, and we'll have to see how the 31 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: game go too, so they could unfold during the game 32 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: to a certain degree. So all the players that are 33 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: active for the game need to be ready to play. 34 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: They all know that, and we'll substitute and do the 35 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: best we can based on what we feel gives us 36 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: the best competitive chance to win. Next question Megan O'Brien, 37 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: and I'd encourage anyone else to raising to ask question. 38 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: Good morning, Bill, Hi. Megan. Lynn Bowden Junior is a 39 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: guy that Miami just signed this week, and he has 40 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: a lot of versatility playing quarterback in college, contributing special 41 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: teams running back, and also there's thought that he could 42 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: contribute as a wide receiver. What types of problems does 43 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: a player that's that versatile and new to the league. 44 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: There's not a lot of tape on him in this 45 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: league present to your team. Well, we you know, we 46 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: we know him from college. We saw plenty of film 47 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: him in Kentucky, both as a receiver a junior year 48 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: and then more as a quarterback this year and doing 49 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: some of the other specialty things that you talked about. 50 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: So you know, we'll just have to see how how 51 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: Miami alets to use him, UM, and we'll deal with 52 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: it accordingly. But we know he's a versatile player. There's 53 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: a number of guys like that. UM. You know, they 54 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: have another one in Perry. UM. We see guys like 55 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: that from time to time over the course of the season. 56 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: So how how a team alets to use that particular 57 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: individual and UM try to you know, get him the 58 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: ball or give him an opportunity to make plays, or 59 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: sometimes use him as a decoy for the defense. UM. 60 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: Those are all things that that we've dealt with and 61 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: we'll just have to you know, be sound in our um, 62 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: you know, and in defending players like that. UM. You know, 63 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: I think you gotta be careful about overplaying those guys, 64 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: and because teams will use him as decoys and um, 65 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, just put them in there as this tract 66 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: and so they can do something else. So there's a 67 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: balance on that, and you know, we'll we'll try to 68 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: do it like we do you know other players that 69 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: have a similar versatile skill set. But you're right, we 70 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: don't really know what he's gonna do. So yeah, we'll 71 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: have to wait and see on that. And just to 72 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: follow up, you don't know what he's gonna do, but 73 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: you don't know a lot of things about Miami. Just 74 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: at being the first game of the regular season. How 75 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: important is adjusting. I know it's important in every game, 76 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: but specifically in the first game because the team kind 77 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: of declares what they're gonna do. I'm sure there's adjustments 78 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: to be made, absolutely, yeah, absolutely, and I'm sure that'll 79 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: be a component of this game. It is every week 80 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: because you know, teams always try to make adjustments, sometimes 81 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: subtle adjustments sometimes not so subtle, to try to change 82 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: their attack and be less predictable and make the other 83 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: team figure out, you know, what they're what they're doing. 84 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: But in the end, it usually comes back to fundamentals 85 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: and things that you know you've been doing and you 86 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: think you can do well or that's the best things 87 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: that you do, so you end up running those so, um, 88 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, in the end, I think that's what we'll 89 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: see most of, but I'm sure there'll be some variety 90 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: in there and some you know, gadget plays or um things, 91 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: the acceptive type plays that um if if you know, 92 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: if you're not alert that they could you know, catch 93 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: it by surprise. So we'll definitely have to be ready 94 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: for those, but adjustin It'll be a big part of 95 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: the game, there's no question about that. And and the 96 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: players and the coaches will have to There'll be things 97 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: that will not do once we get into the game 98 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: that we're planning on doing now, and vice versa. There'll 99 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: be things that we're not planning on doing now that 100 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: will will want or need to do during the game. 101 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: And I don't have any doubt about that. I'm sure 102 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: that'll be true on both sides of the field. Thank you, 103 00:05:51,880 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: all right, Next question her a football fan course, and 104 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: you've always talked about that, and just playing off Megan's 105 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: question a little bit, there's never been a starting day 106 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: and opening day in the NFL, like the is this time, 107 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: it's the football fan in you at all intrigue just 108 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: to see what goes on league wide because they're just 109 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: so much unknown about everything. Well, again for the NFL, 110 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: it's it's um you know, without the preseason games. Yeah, 111 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: that's true, but again in preseason, there's not much scheming 112 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: going on. Most teams are just trying to run their 113 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: basic plays and evaluate the players and evaluate the players 114 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: against the opponent that's also basically doing the same thing. 115 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: It's it's not a lot of game plan and strategy 116 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: that really hits on the first regular season game. So 117 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: I think the preseason allows the players to give an 118 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: opportunity to give them an opportunity to go out there 119 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: and play and work on their fundamentals and that includes 120 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: you know, contact and some of the things that go 121 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: with that. But from a strategic standpoint, I don't think 122 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: you really see a lot uh in preseason. Some of 123 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: what you see is intentionally deceptive and misleading anyway, so 124 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't really matter. But again, this is this is 125 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: what every college and high school team does. This is football. 126 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: You you practice and then you have an opening game. 127 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: There are no preseason games in college or or high 128 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: school or anything like that either, So I don't think 129 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: this is anything that's unusual in our sport. Um, it's 130 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: a little different in the NFL, granted, and and the 131 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: preseason games young players an opportunity to show what they 132 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: can do in game conditions, and sometimes that's harder to 133 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: see in practice or you only get to see it 134 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: against certain matchups in practice, and then when those matchups 135 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: change in preseason games, you just get a little better 136 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: evaluation of the player. But um, strategically, I don't think 137 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: it makes much difference in and as I said, all 138 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: the other teams that play football outside of the NFL 139 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: are doing it the way we're doing it, So I 140 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: don't think it's it's that unusual. Other than if you're 141 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: just looking at the NFL SERTs schedule and just a 142 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: quick follow up, they just ball security has always been 143 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: extremely important to you, obviously, as they're going to end 144 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: for extra emphasis at all this week, just reminding of 145 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: players they're gonna get hit hard for really the first 146 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: time and his feed is going to be different, and 147 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: just to take care of that ball because the speed 148 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: and the hitting will be different. Yeah, absolutely not not 149 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: this week, just every day the entire preseason. That's been 150 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: a major point of emphasis for us to take care 151 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: of the ball, to take the ball away, and take 152 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: advantage of opportunities to get the ball. So that's going 153 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: to be very very critical aspect of this game, of 154 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: every game. But as you said, we haven't experienced the 155 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: contact and the ball security that comes with contach like 156 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: like we're going to on Sunday, like every team is 157 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: going to on Sunday. So we've tried to simulate that 158 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: as much as possible, but that'll be uh that that's 159 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: a new thing that we can't or we we've experienced it, 160 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: but not not in the in the way that we're 161 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: going to see it on Sunday. For sure. You're welcome all. 162 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: Next question. Jim McBride called by Andrew Callahan. Good morning, coach. 163 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about J. J. Taylor and 164 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: what you've seen from his progress this summer. UM. Yeah, 165 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: well JJ, Uh, you know, it's a good college player. 166 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: We signed him after the draft and and um, and 167 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: he's been competitive. UM, you know, had some opportunities early 168 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: in camp when Sony was out and then UM, you know, 169 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: had some opportunities uh later in camp here when uh 170 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: you know Damien missed missed a few days. So um, 171 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: you know, I think he's done a good job of 172 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: taking advantage of those opportunities. Um. The running back position 173 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: is is one that you can see a lot more of, 174 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: um in in live competition we're tackling and and uh 175 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: you know b live blitz pick up and that type 176 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: of thing are really uh you know, become more more 177 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: of a focal point uh than than what you see 178 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: here UM in practice and you know, being able to 179 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: you can evaluate the running backs of vision in practice 180 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: but you know, getting through the line, running through those 181 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: arm tackles, um, not getting tripped up or getting tripped up, 182 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: whatever the case might be. But those those evaluations of 183 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: inline running and in line vision and um open field 184 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: tackling and running and and so forth. Uh, those are 185 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: you know, skills that you can see a lot more 186 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: of when the actual games occur. So, um, you know, 187 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: in his opportunities, he's he's done done a good job. 188 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how he plays and you know, 189 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: get a better evaluation of that. Thank you, Yeah, you're welcome. 190 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: My next question, Andrew Callahan, followed by Phil Curry, Good, Morting, 191 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 1: Bum Andrew. Players in the past have shared that they 192 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: appreciate in team meetings on Wednesdays, how they're provided a 193 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: kind of a deeper understanding of their opponent beyond you know, 194 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: kind of your matchups and some Mexus and notes from 195 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: from you in terms of, you know, a history of 196 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: the franchise or just what's important to the coaches and 197 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: how they run their program. So obviously without sharing anything 198 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: that's been said to me, and he's seeing how coach 199 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: Flores has worked with the Dolphins out Pro cool year. 200 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: Knowing him as well as you do, how would you 201 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: describe the program he's kind of bringing along in Miami 202 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: and what's important to him. Well, I'm sure he's talked 203 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: about what's important to him, so, UM, I don't think 204 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: I need to need to comment on that. But he's 205 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: very you know, very much as his stamp on it. Um, 206 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: it's it's his program, and UM, you know he's done 207 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: things the way that he wants to do them and 208 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: what he believes in. Um. They they certainly took their 209 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: lumps on that on the first quarter of the season 210 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: last year, but as the season went on, they developed 211 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: more consistency and got things, UM, you know, in a 212 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: much better place. You know, end up winning five games 213 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: and you know, beat beat several good teams beat us 214 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: the end of the year, played him more competitive games. 215 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: And then this year, you know, turned over some coaches, 216 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: but also brought in a number of significant players both 217 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: in the draft and free agency that, in my opinion, 218 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: would reflect the the type of team that he's trying 219 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: to build. I mean, I think I can see what 220 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: he's trying to do and the players that he brought in, 221 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: I can see how he would think that they would 222 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: you know, fit into the culture and the type of 223 00:12:55,080 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: program that he's trying to establish. So, UM, you know, 224 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: it looks like that they're a lot better than they 225 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: were last year based on the acquisitions that they've made. 226 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: As I said, they've changed you know, some some members 227 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: of our coaching staff. UM. And so exactly how that 228 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: gets reflected in philosophy and game planning and UH play 229 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: calling and so forth, I guess that remains to be seen. 230 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: We haven't we haven't seen that yet, But just looking 231 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: at what they've done in terms of roster building, UM, 232 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: it's it's pretty clear that UM, Brian has a plan. 233 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: He knows where he's going and he's taking steps to 234 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: get there. That's that's pretty obvious. A quick follow Um, 235 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: knowing coach Boyer as you do, I don't know if 236 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: you believe it's at all reasonable without a preseason to 237 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: kind of project any changes he might introduce to the 238 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: defense now as a poor mead, is that something you 239 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: just you just have to wait and see. Uh, Yeah, 240 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: we definitely have our thoughts on that, and UM, I mean, 241 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: you know we have to we have to go with something, 242 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: and so you know, we're going to go with the 243 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: things that we think are most likely to occur, um 244 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: and prepare for those knowing that we're not going to 245 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: be one hundred percent right, and knowing that they're going 246 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: to do some things that we wouldn't expect them to 247 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: do or that maybe they haven't shown before under any 248 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: of their current coaches that we're aware of. So uh, 249 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: as I think Megan asked earlier, you know, they'll be 250 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: adjustments and uh, you know, things that we'll have to 251 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: do during the game that um will be game time 252 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: UM you know think will be game time adjustments or 253 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: game time calls that will have to make but I think, 254 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: you know, fundamentally, we have a pretty good idea of 255 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: what what we think we're going to get from um 256 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: the certain coaches on their staff that are going to 257 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: be involved in play calling or the way they have 258 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: things broken up, and what that'll that'll bring us, and 259 00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: we'll see all that plays out. I don't know. Thanks up, 260 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: you're welcome. Last question to be Phil Perry. Hey, Bill, Um, 261 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you because you mentioned that the 262 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: answer to Andrew, you can kind of tell what Brian's 263 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: trying to do in terms of building the team with 264 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: the guys they brought in. One are some of those 265 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: characteristics and how to maybe be annoyed Robertson carras fit 266 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: into that. Yeah, well, again, I think you know, Brian's 267 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: talked about what he's trying to do. I think that's 268 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: that's really the place to start there. Um, you know, 269 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: we have to just prepare for it, and so that's 270 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: what we're trying to do. But you know, all the 271 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: players you mentioned are good football players. They're they're solid people. 272 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: They bring a lot to the organization as well as 273 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: to the football field, and had a lot of experience, 274 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: had a lot of good experience. Um, you know, I 275 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: have a positive attitude, and and they've won a lot 276 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: of games, and they've helped us win a lot of games, 277 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: so you know, I'm sure that they'll they'll be good 278 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: additions to their program.
