1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, really, John, he could just start us off

2
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: for the Black Fund recovery for the sham. Thank you

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: for that play. That was an interesting one. Um. I

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: don't want to give away too much, but I will

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: say this, Um, what Corey Clement saw and felt the

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: punt return reps earlier in that game, he kind of

7
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: had an idea to do something and it was very

8
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: sound and we kind of just said go for it.

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: So he made a great play with a couple other

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: guys did on that play. That's really cool that nobody

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: will be able to see on taper on TV. With

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: some of the words and actions and hand signals. It's

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: just fascinating football to see all the gamesmanship that goes

14
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: on for one guy to get a block. I'd love

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: to talk more about it, but um, just a couple

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: of guys did a couple of great things and then

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: Corey made the play and it really came down to

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Cory's idea really on the sideline earlier in the game.

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Just fascinating football and just great instinctive football players. Even

20
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: if you can't tell exactly what he said, I guess

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: what that comes pretty about having a conversation game and

22
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: create a culture, you guys coming up with ideas. Yeah,

23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: that's a great question. In training camp, I came up

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: with a list of five things for us in practice

25
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: what I want our mindset to be. And the fourth

26
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: one on that list is tell me if you have

27
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: an idea, as simple as that. And so I've always

28
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: encouraged our guys from back in the very first day

29
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: of training camp to anytime you guys see something here,

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: something feel something you know, come on and tell me

31
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: what it is and we'll probably use it. And if

32
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: we don't, then I'll kind of tell you why. But um,

33
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: you guys, I want you to have a ton of

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: ownership in this And honestly, over my career, a lot

35
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: of the best things that have happened has been players ideas.

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: That's that's a fact. And so as I've continued to

37
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: learn as a coach, you know, listening to these guys,

38
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: especially the veteran ones that are really smart football players,

39
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: listened to them because they got some really good ideas.

40
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a name for the roll. Well, you've

41
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: some farm since since he out here? What are you

42
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: thousing is? In being honored for the first time in May,

43
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: I was so excited. I was so excited, just you know,

44
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: I just keep going back to I worked him out

45
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: coming out, you know, Draft two twelve, and I just

46
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: remember our day out there in California on a private workout.

47
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: And obviously didn't get a coach until now his tenth year,

48
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: but just have always followed his career and has really

49
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: had admired his production without really knowing his um work,

50
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: ethic or process, and then now being a part of that,

51
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: just seeing what he does weekly. I'm just so proud

52
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: of him, man, and I'm so happy for him. And

53
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: our punt team was very happy for him, and we

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: had our little walk through on last Thursday. I mean,

55
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: the guys on the team, the guys protecting for him

56
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: and covering for him, were thrilled for him because they

57
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: know what he puts into it. And so I mean,

58
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: just just a great day for a coach to witness

59
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: a guy who's been at it a long time, you know,

60
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: get recognized by really his peers for the first time.

61
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: It's just it's awesome, man. Kelvin Joseph spent a lot

62
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: of time to do before seeing him rolling the last

63
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, specially special teams. Yeah, he We talked

64
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: about him a couple of times in the past where

65
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: he's been kind of you know, he's quiet, but then

66
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: when practice shows up, meeting show up, and game show up,

67
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: he produces. You know, he's he's been prepared. Every game

68
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: he always shows up. And that's where we talking about

69
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: in the special team room. You know, you guys are

70
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: you guys are here to do this special team's job

71
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: until your job changes, which happens a lot of times.

72
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: And Um fat got his opportunity on defense. We took

73
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: him off all special teams. You didn see, I'm any

74
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: special teams. We had Nashan back up to just Boom.

75
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: He felled right in for for fat Um and from

76
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: from my account it looked like Fat to the Kelvin

77
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Joseph to did a very admirable job and after the

78
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: game getting a big hug and said, hell yeah, man,

79
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: way to get it done over there on defense and

80
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: if you stay there, great, come on back and get

81
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: back in it. So Um, I'm just happy for him

82
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: to have found a role early and see it, you know,

83
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: progress into something else when needed, and we needed that yesterday.

84
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: What's the best player idea that you received and applied

85
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: over the person your career, and I know if you're

86
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: able to use one from your colloys year, last year

87
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: or this year. But um, what comes to mind the Um,

88
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: it's a great question. Um, how can I say this

89
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: because um, we did something in twenty sixteen that was

90
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: it was pretty awesome. You probably won't be able to

91
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: see it on the tape because it's pretty hidden. Um,

92
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: and we have it alive right now, so that's why

93
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: I can't really go into it. Um. But yeah, sorry,

94
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: that's uh, it's just I can't really go into it

95
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: because it's actually still alive for us right now. UM.

96
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: And I've and it's it's it's it's been five year,

97
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: five seasons since that's happened. But um, I guess if

98
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: it ever happens, I'll let you know that's what it

99
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: was about. That Nah. Sorry, but if it but if

100
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: it ever happens, which is unlikely but always possible, UM,

101
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,559
Speaker 1: well I'll let you know that's what it is, because

102
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: then it won't be able to happen for a while. Again.

103
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: Cool backgrounds over there. Everybody got Santa Clause. I got

104
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: the green trees in the background. Yeah, there's for your

105
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: special teams. Contributing, there's unity for you taking that period. Yeah,

106
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: it's it's it's awesome. I mean, you do need to

107
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: take twenty five snaps a game on special teams and

108
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: if you should block one punt you score a touchdown

109
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: off it kind of you know, that's good. That's you know,

110
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of opportunities, so if you

111
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: if you strike gold on one of them, that's kind

112
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: of a game for you, you know, as long as

113
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 1: everything else is pretty sound. But we did a stat

114
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: last year jury where if a team scored a touchdown

115
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: on offense, defense, and special teams over the last ten years.

116
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: I think it was the team's record is like twenty

117
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: three and one or twenty three and two or something

118
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 1: like that. Maybe I'll get the stats for you. I didn't.

119
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: I didn't wasn't prepared for that, but it was something

120
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: like that, like twenty three wins, two losses when it

121
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: team scores on all three phases. Um, I should probably

122
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: bring that up to the team again this week because

123
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: you did mention that last year. But um, yeah, there's

124
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: a lot of pride for everybody when when everybody has

125
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: a big hand and in a big win, anybody else

126
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: come fall. When that out, how did that profits being

127
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: responsibility and you talked about yeah, no, thanks for asking that. Again,

128
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: he stepped up big time. So we had, you know,

129
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: a walk through last Wednesday Thursday, UM, we had some

130
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: virtual meetings and he was a big part and basically

131
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: we kind of put together tape for him and put

132
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: it in and he kind of ran it. And then um,

133
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: on the sidelines yesterday, you know, with with Darren Thompson

134
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: and uh CJ kind of helping out. And then yesterday, honestly,

135
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: we had a lot of coaches step up. I mean,

136
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: Todd Williams was a great help yesterday on the sideline.

137
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: So everybody was a contributor. I mean talking about players,

138
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: but also everybody steps up, and it's just it's a

139
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: great feeling to be a part of a staff where

140
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: I constantly got asked, Hey, can I help you out?

141
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: You need here? One of our quality control coaches help

142
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: run some scout team cards at practice, you know, Eric Simonnelli.

143
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: So all hands were on deck and it just feels

144
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: like that's the way it's going to be the rest

145
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: of the season. So it's good that, um, everybody jump

146
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: in and do everything. It's kind of like back when

147
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: I was coaching Division two college. You know, we did

148
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: the laundry, we drove the bus. You know, we taught

149
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: some classes, we coached some football, and it's kind of

150
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: the same feeling right now, is hey, everybody here, help

151
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: me out here, draw this card and run this over here.

152
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: And to me, that's the best part of coaching football

153
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: is kind of just throwing your hands in everything and

154
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: hope you don't screw anything up too bad. Laying the

155
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: game with coaches are kind of stealing back some players,

156
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: rest and resting guys. Will is that like special teams?

157
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: Who's out there? And we were without Matt What was

158
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: that like navigating the final fifteen ten minutes of that game? Yeah, man,

159
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: you get you guys are pros. That's so observant, Michael Farrel.

160
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: It felt like a preseason game because you know, they

161
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: start taking some offense and defensive guys off the field.

162
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: That means the special teams guys are now playing special

163
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: teams down offense and defense. And m about the last

164
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: quarter and a half, for sure, the last quarter. You know,

165
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the clock like tick tick tick, kind

166
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: of think down and let's get out of here. Because

167
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: our guys were pretty strained, honestly in the fourth quarters

168
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: just to cover, punch, kick off, all the things that

169
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: they do, but also get some work on offense and defense.

170
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: And but they want it, they want it, um, but

171
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: you also don't want, you know, got to get nicked

172
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: up late in the game and be liked dang man,

173
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: you know, missing for the next game. So I think

174
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: it came out pretty clean, but it felt like a

175
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: preseason game to answer your question, where you're just scrambling

176
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: to get bodies on there. Um the schematics or kind

177
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: of could put at that time. Let's just make sure

178
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: we got eleven on the field, we're sound, we get

179
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: the football back, no penalties, and so I think the

180
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: guys did a really good job of sucking it up

181
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: and getting it done. Thanks you guys,
