1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Look, we've shifted our preparation today into Tampa. Obviously, this 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: team is an explosive team, you know, really in all 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: three phases of the ball that you've got to count for. 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: I think coach Arean has done a phenomenal job of 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: really bringing a staff with a lot of continuity, guys 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: that have played for him, guys that have worked on 7 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: her in the past, so it was easy for him 8 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: to get a quick jump in this program. And he's 9 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: added a lot of dynamic players since he's been there. 10 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: They've really got these guys rolling this year. You know, 11 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: Bruce is you know, aggressive mentality. You can see on 12 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: all three sides of the ball. It starts on offense obviously. 13 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: You know, they're running the ball extremely well with Jones, 14 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: They're doing a great job with the play action passes, 15 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: sting the shots with Tom, and they're doing a great 16 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: job in all the situational football, red zone, third down. 17 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: They're really a team you able to pair situationally for. 18 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,319 Speaker 1: You know, defensively, you know, coach Bowls the phenomenal job 19 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: of really spinning the dialog and you're gonna see a 20 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: lot of pressure early down in third down, You're gonna 21 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: see a lot of situational calls in the red area 22 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: and third down in two minutes. But the thing is 23 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: guys do is they play discipline. They play really really hard, 24 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be just definitely a trademark of Coach 25 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: Bowls defense. And we gotta make sure we can handle 26 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: the movement and the pressures up front, you know, and 27 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: I'll start with that, you know, special teams wise, Keith 28 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: Armstrong's got known for some years. Got a lot of 29 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: respect for him. You know, Keith does a really good 30 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: job of taking the players he has, creating matchups on 31 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: your players, and then he does a good job getting 32 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: the guys to play hard and physical. That's really his 33 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: trademark right there. So all three sides of the ball 34 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: we gotta work cut out for us. Will start to 35 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: down preparation and then I'll building the Monday night. So 36 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: at that point a little bit, any questions you guys 37 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: may have, Douggan, hey, Joe, Um, can you just kind 38 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: of give us a timeline of of everything that's going 39 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: on with the COVID situation when you found out about 40 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: Will's positive test and the close context is everything less? 41 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: I guess twelve hours or so, what times are right 42 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: now about noon. Yeah, give me about the last about 43 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: thirteen hours ago, So about thirteen hours ago was notified. 44 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: There were some issues maybe a little bit, you know, 45 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit longer than that ago. Um, we 46 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: got the list of names of the players, we made adjustments, 47 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: we had a couple of coaches involved. You know, we've 48 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: been fortunate that there's really no you know, high risk 49 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: guys within the tracer contacts, but have some precautions we 50 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: have to take as a team. We're optimistic to get 51 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: all these guys back then, so we're operating that we're 52 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: gonna have them back right now. You know. In terms 53 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: of what we're gonna do and adjust as a team, 54 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna change the post practice meetings to meet virtually. 55 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: We've made some adjustments on the field to incorporate some 56 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: face shields and some masks during practice, which has not 57 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: been required before now. But we're gonna make sure our 58 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: players are wearing the mask during the actual activity. That 59 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: will be different for our guys right there. Um, but 60 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: we'll meet post practice virtually. I'll determine as the head coach, 61 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: how we're gonna approach tomorrow's morning and afternoon meetings, But 62 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna plan on practicing in person tomorrow regardless. So 63 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: I'll make that decision later on today and I'll talk 64 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: to the team about it. And then just as far 65 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: as well, I mean, how is he feeling to see 66 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: if symptoms or anything, you know, Dan, I haven't spoke 67 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: to him yet, um Ronnie has been in contact with him, 68 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: so I couldn't ask that question. Thanks, rots back, Joe, 69 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: as your message to the guys changed in any way, 70 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: just in terms of the danger, the contagious nature of 71 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: this virus, and and and what we're what we're fighting 72 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: here not only as a as a football team, but 73 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: but but as a nation as the world. No, the 74 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: messages remain constant, you know, and we just got to 75 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: remind each other constantly, you know. And look, it's all 76 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: about being safe. It's all about making sure put ourselves 77 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: in the right situations. It's about the social distancing and 78 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: the building the protocols with the masks and pps. We 79 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: just got to go ahead and stay consistent with that 80 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: throughout the season and make sure we, you know, put 81 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: ourselves in the best position possible. I think it starts 82 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: with you know, hey, look our facilities, you know, Ronnie 83 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: and the facilities director has done a great job of 84 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: setting up where we have the meet We've transformed our 85 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: indoor facility and really our meeting space for this year. 86 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: That's really allowed us to remain spaced out and more 87 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: of an open area, open air situation to help with 88 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: the players and ventilation, you know, in terms of having 89 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: the protocol set up to make sure we're spaced out 90 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: in meetings and to be able to still have in 91 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: person meetings. That's really been, you know, something that we've 92 00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: benefited from and it's helped us along the way. Jim Jones, Hi, 93 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: Hi Joe. You alluded to it in your opening. But 94 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: given that I think the Bucks get after the passer 95 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: in terms of sacks, second only to the Steelers in 96 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: this league, how much of a concern would it be 97 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: if your offensive line is is you know, compromise at all? 98 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: And my follow up, if I may would be you 99 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: mentioned having all the guys back, does that include Will Hernandez? 100 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: So can I can just tell it on the call? 101 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: Like look, obviously the words out and a lot of 102 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: things that are going on. Uh, We've been told internally 103 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: that we can't comment on specific names until they come 104 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: out later on today, which is everything will be an 105 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: injury report. Um in terms of the main name you're 106 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: referred to. You know, all have to wait and see 107 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: how the testing goes the next couple of days. But 108 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: I'd say the optimism and all the people who are 109 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: only related through tracers is very high right now. Um. 110 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: Their amount of exposure to this was really on the 111 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: minimum level to be registered in this categories. That kind 112 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: of eliminates them. For me in high risk guys, that's 113 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: been good. Most of it came from through passing, uh, 114 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: sitting there each other in team meetings, things that nature. 115 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: But it's been a low amount of time so it's 116 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: kept us away from some of the high risk stuff. 117 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: So Kim, we're very optimistic right now. We have our 118 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: players back. Obviously it's our job to make contingency plans. 119 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: But getting on to the bucks, like I mean, they're 120 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: they're fronts, very dangerous, they're very explosive, they got a 121 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: lot of talent. Todd does a great job with you know, 122 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: creating combinations. Ideally, you want to have all your guys back, 123 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: but it's our job to pair of one available and 124 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: sair job to be ready. Thank you. Certain a, Joe, 125 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: what's the concern level at this point that the game 126 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: might not be able to be played on Monday night.

People went 137 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: through spring and training camp with us learning different positions. 138 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: Case it would have come up some kind of a 139 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: mass lockout or some kind of you know, major numbers concerned, 140 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: we don't have that today, Pat, So the guys are 141 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: gonna coach or guys that are gonna be on you know, 142 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: that side of the ball to step up and just 143 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,559 Speaker 1: help out. We've already crossed over a lot of coaching 144 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: throughout the season. You have through different drills and periods 145 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: and how we meet, so it's not a drastic change 146 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: for us today. Pat, Thanks Bombardo. Hey Joe, UM, I 147 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: was just curious as far as the contact tracer devices 148 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: and you guys wear our players and staff are puired 149 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: to wear those outside of the building. And did any 150 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: will with Hernandez come in contact with anybody who might 151 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: have been out and about the other night that the 152 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: dinner in Manhattan. Uh, yeah, I don't believe so on 153 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: that right there. Um, as far as contact with tracers 154 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: outside the building, you were required to wear them throughout 155 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: the entire work day, so that's at practice in the meetings, 156 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: in the cafeteria, in the locker room. Um, you know 157 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: you always have it on all the times. Some guys 158 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: were in the lanyard. I keep minding my pocket at 159 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: all times, but you always have to have it on you. 160 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: Hey Joe, how's it going? As much as you've prepared 161 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: for a situation like this, Obviously calls start going out 162 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,239 Speaker 1: last night when you're meeting with the team this morning, 163 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: which I assume you have already, but maybe it's been 164 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: virtual contact. How do you approach it with the rest 165 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: of the team. Is it just a business as usual? 166 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: I have to imagine, guys are kind of antenna is up. 167 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: This is really the first time you guys have had 168 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: to deal with this, really since the beginning of training camp. No, 169 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: there's always some kind of adversity we're gonna deal with art. 170 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: So to us, this is just a sudden change. We 171 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: just keep on moving forward. We empsize working we can 172 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: really accomplish, say as a team, and you know, we 173 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: get everyone ready who may be part of the game 174 00:07:52,960 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: plan Joe Um. You know, there's limited things you can 175 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: say about the names of the players, but obviously we 176 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: know that it's Will Hernandez and the likelihood of him 177 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: playing Monday night, just based on the protocols I think 178 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: is small, assuming any of that is true. Is Shane 179 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: Lemieu the next guy up for you at guard? And 180 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: how ready is he um for you if he is 181 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: asked to have a bigger role. Yeah, Shane's been doing 182 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: a good job, really improved for us. You know, throughout 183 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: the season, he's done a really good job in practice. 184 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: We're planning on really working him and throughout the games. Anyway, 185 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, in terms of just just 186 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: we've kind of work Matt part in the games as well, um, so, yeah, 187 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: we have confidence in Shane. He'll be in the mix 188 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: of different guys that may factor in that position. We'll 189 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: see where it goes by the end of the week 190 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: and where everything leads going on a Monday, But yeah, 191 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: we have confidence Shane. I would expect him to play 192 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: regardless of what the scenario is. I'm rock Joe. I 193 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: know he's on the other side of the country. But 194 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: does any of this effect Quan and his scheduled surgery 195 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: this week, Not that I'm aware of right there, but 196 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: obviously you Ron, He's gonna make sure in contact with 197 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: different guys, but not I'm aware of at their time. 198 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: Zack Ralph Aston and I was going too, but I 199 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: come to jump on that a little bit. So Mark 200 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: Columbo yesterday I was talking about Shane Lemieu and he 201 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: said that, you know when he when he started out, 202 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: he was maybe a little over aggressive because he was 203 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: out there trying to fight everybody or something. And he 204 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: said he's gotten a lot better at that and his 205 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: technique and stuff. Have you noticed the same thing as 206 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: that kind of his mindset that he just wants to 207 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: get out there and hit somebody. Yeah, Shane's definitely aggressive. Player. 208 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: He's definitely got that bruiser mentality to it um, but 209 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: he's settling in a lot technically. He's showed a lot 210 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: of improvement throughout the year. You know, we we liked 211 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: him from the jump. He's definitely a guy that wants 212 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: to get after, wants to play physical, wants play aggressive. 213 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: You know what. He's really made a good adjustments to 214 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: our you know, a lot of the movement schemes and 215 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: also speed of the game of how it comes to it. 216 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: So his communication inside has really improved throughout the year, 217 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: which for the centers and guards inside that's definitely critical 218 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: piece everything they're gonna do because of the multiples will 219 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: see inside. But he's really shown a lot of growth 220 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: force right there. Thanks, let's take two more marking Yeah, 221 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: off later Mark yeah, Joe. Just with regards the number 222 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: of close games you guys have had and obviously you 223 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: haven't finished on the on the positive side of those, 224 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: is it a double edged sword there? Do you feel 225 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: like the more you're involved in those, the guys you know, 226 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: maybe have a little more experience and get over the 227 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: top or it has become a competence issue when you 228 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: when you are in those close games, and there's a 229 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: here we go again. The element to it, I think 230 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: our jobs is to play. Every game is its own entity, 231 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: you know, and every game is different circumstances, different situation. 232 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: We play every game to win every game. There's things 233 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: we have to clean up and correct. Only do a 234 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: better job coaching, I do a better job executing as 235 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: players in situations. But to me, look, the guys have 236 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: responded every week, you know, in terms of the confidence issue. Yeah, 237 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: it's been a question guys have asked repeatedly. Yeah, it's 238 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: not an issue with our guys. That guys come to 239 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: work every week, they see improvement. We can show them, 240 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: you know, marked improvement on the tape when they see 241 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,599 Speaker 1: themselves play, when they see the units perform. So we 242 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: just gotta keep stringing together and improving as a team, 243 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: you know, and get through results. Were working for just 244 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: as a as a quick follow Joe, When you do 245 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: get over the hump in one of these close type games, 246 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: whether it's the last game of the last play of 247 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: the game or whatever, what can that do for the 248 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: morale and the competence and the psyche of the team 249 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: and maybe you know, kind of start a trend in 250 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: the other way. Yeah. Look, I'm gonna be honestly, I'm 251 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: not a huge believer. I'm a man to begin with, 252 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: So in terms of one game effect another game, I 253 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: don't really ever think so. I think you have to 254 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: show up and whether you won last week or lost 255 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: last week, it's about what you do preparing this week 256 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: and how you execute on the field for sixty minutes 257 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: that's going to dictate the results of that game. I 258 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: respect the question. I understand Zacht where you're coming from. 259 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: My personal mindset and philosophy doesn't really tie too much 260 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: into one game affects another one. Thanks Joe. Last question, 261 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: last question here, Slater. Hey, Joe, you mentioned earlier in 262 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: they call some of these changes you're making to practice 263 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: in terms of guys wearing masks and then also going 264 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: all virtual with your meetings. Will those be permanent changes 265 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year or just until this 266 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: thing clears up? Here? Definitely, through this thing clears out, 267 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: we'll see how works out with the team, We'll see 268 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: what the leak protocols maynates to do. We just want 269 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: to make sure of the best decision for the players 270 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: at all the time. We've been pretty good up to 271 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: this point and been fortunate to avoid one of these tests. 272 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: You know, we're a long way into the season at 273 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: this point, so I want to make sure we definitely 274 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: get through this patch, we keep our players safe, and 275 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: then when we feel we're out of this patch, with 276 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: the league's guidance and our medical team's guidance, will make 277 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: the best decision for the team.
