1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: What was your reaction to the shooting in Wisconsin, um,

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: and what was the vibe and your team meeting last

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: night in terms of what was said? And also, I

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: guess if I could just sneak in a third one.

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: The NBA obviously had teams deciding not to play. Could

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: you envision that happening when the season gets going in

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: the NFL? I mean, that's something that we're gonna talk

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: about as a team, and I'm not gonna comment on

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: that until we do so. Uh, but yeah, when I

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: saw the videos, it's unfortunate. Man, It's it's really sad

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: to see another senseless killing. Um, and my thoughts of

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: prayers go out to Jacob Blake and his family. Oh,

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: I mean not a sense it's killing, sorry, sense of shooting.

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: How emotional of a time is this for you as

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: as players? Though? UM, I know you don't want to

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: speak too much on what you guys are going to

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: do next, but how emotional is this especially when you

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: look around and seeing how much action the Lions, the

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Box, the NBA are taking. I know you guys

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: have a plan for action, but here and now you

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: know what is going through your heart in your mind? Yeah, man.

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, like I mentioned to you guys last time

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: I was on here, I mean I kind of used

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: football as an escape, and you know, it's been real

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: hard to use it as an escape when you see

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: what's going on around in the world. Um. So yeah,

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean as far as what we're gonna do and

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: the steps that we're gonna take next, Um, you know,

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: that's something that we're in discussion about. And you know,

30
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: it's sad that we have to take the time away

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: from football and preparing for a season that is coming

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: up here pretty soon. Um, to talk about these things.

33
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: You know, another sense of shooting. Um that's happened, and UM,

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: it's sad that it has to be that way. But yeah,

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: as far as what we're gonna do next, you know,

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna gonna talk to my teammates and the leadership

37
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: group and the coaches and and we're gonna come up

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: with a plan. And I know you are planning a

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: lot of work and have been in the can unity. Yeah,

40
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: but do you think something like boycotting a game? Um,

41
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: you know, like everything is on the table, including something

42
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: like that because of the severity of the situation in

43
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: the country. What do I think boycotting the game is possible. Yeah,

44
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: Like is that on the table as an option? As

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: far as what you're discussing? For what I said, I'm

46
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna talk to the team and uh,

47
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: we'll come up with something and that's that will be

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: that whenever we come out with that. Thanks U A Chep.

Speaker 1: What do I want them to see? Well, I would

64
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: just say what role do you think like sports league

00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: can play and like impact and change. Yeah, I mean

66
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: it's it's such a big platform man, Um, so we

67
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: can make a huge impact on on whatever we do,

68
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean as players and as a league. So, uh,

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: you know, using that platform, let's use I'm sorry for

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: butchering the wording on that question the first card. It's

71
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: good much communication between teams among the leaders throughout the league.

72
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: Have you guys gotten together and and and talked about

73
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: what we wanted to maybe all is one group or

74
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: is it? Is it pretty much team by team right now? Yeah?

75
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: I haven't. Uh, I haven't spoken with anyone. But I

76
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: don't know about some of the other guys within our

77
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: life room. I don't know if they've been speaking guys

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,440

79
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: you have do you feel like you have? John Meyer's here,

80
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: I know he's been involved in some of these discussions.

81
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's been Yeah, he's been great. Um, you know,

82
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: letting the team talk and really come up with a plan.

83
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: So that's what we're in the process of doing. And

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about it as a team again. Um.

85
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: And he's been great and very supportive of all of us. Hey, CHEPD,

86
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: I wonder how much of you guys talked about I

87
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: mean all these other teams uh canceling practice today and

88
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: what your thoughts are on the I know that's not

89
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: your decision and this team's decision, but on seeing that

90
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: around the league. Yeah, I'm not gonna comment on on

91
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: what our what our thoughts are, what you guys will

92
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: find out whenever we decide to do whatever we're gonna do.

93
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: From a football I'll ask you an actual football question.

94
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: You know you've seen this offense. You know what say

95
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: klon skills are and what his ability is? What kind

96
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: of damage I mean Zeke did in this offense? What

97
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: kind of damage can say Kwan do? Uh sake? One

98
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: is gonna be Sae man Um. You know he's a

99
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: tough runner. Um. You know he's he's very loosive runner,

100
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: so I expect him to be him um in any offense. Yep,

101
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: another one football related, Um, what was that conversation like

102
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: with Joe Judge there when you tossed the ball about

103
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: thirty yards but then he kind of asked you to

104
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: go get it? Yeah, I mean it would have been

105
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: a fifteen yr ap penalty in the game, and that's

106
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: what he told me, and you know, I thought about

107
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: it and that it's true. So uh, and you make

108
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: a big play of practice. You tend to do stuff

109
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: that you might not do in a real game. But uh,

110
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: that stuff that we have to keep in mind. And

111
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: sometimes emotions, um get high in the game. So yeah,

112
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta think about those things before I do.

113
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: I mean, is it tough to swallow your pride as

114
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: a guy who's been in the league several years? Kind

115
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: of like being instructed to do something like that. I mean,

116
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: it's got to be different. No, man, you gotta you

117
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: gotta take coaching and everybody share performed, so um, you

118
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: know I need somebody to stay on me. Uh. You

119
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: never gotta figured it out. And that's something that we

120
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: learned in our team meeting, UM yesterday. And you can

121
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: be a tenure vet um and think you have everything

122
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: figured out, but you really don't. So UM keeps you grounded.

123
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: And Uh, I appreciate having a coach like coach. I

124
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: have a question. Last week, Uh, the NFL announced there

125
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: were twenty three thousand coding tasks for players and zero positives.

126
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if you're impressed with half serious the guys

127
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: are taking it and if point, at some point, maybe

128
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: in March or April, reason, what's gonna happen? And now

129
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: here it is two weeks away. Yeah, that last part

130
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: it cut out, but um yeah, I'm I'm very pleased

131
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: to see the numbers and um, you know, seeing zero

132
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: cases as far as the players go, Um, you know,

133
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: that's that's reassuring, and um, hopefully it stays that way.

134
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: Hopefully everybody still does their part whenever the season starts. Um,

135
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: and and we can we can get through the season

136
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: clean and be safe and healthy.
