00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: over these next couple of days, and also if anyone

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: else has been added to the COVID list. Yes, I'll

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: start with the COVID protocol. We've had some positive tests,

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: so we have Jeff Blasco and Joe philbin Is on

Speaker 1: the list now, Scott Tolzine to three coaches and then

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: also Terrence Steele. So we're working through that. UM, that's

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: where we are as far as Amory. He'll be back

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: in tomorrow and we'll work in back in just to

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: see where he is as far as conditioning and so forth.

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: So and I see CD Lamb going through the full

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: work data today. So your plans with what is this?

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: You allen? But what's the plan? How are you gonna

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: have to run more forward? Is a chance to constituting

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: about this week? I mean I haven't seen Zeke since Thursday,

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: so I mean, well, we'll just go through the normal

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: process that we go through. You know, this is a

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: this is a Wednesday. We were plan on being abbreviated

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday because of you know, just because it is stretched

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: that we're in UM so we'll just be in a

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, walk through mode today for for about an

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: iron fifteen minutes. But yeah, I'm you know, as far

24
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: as how we're gonna play Thursday, we're still working through

25
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: this COVID situation, and um said, there'll be a light

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: practice obviously coming off the overtime game, and we have

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that played a lot of snaps

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: and so we've gotta be smart today and tomorrow. How

29
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: do you handle the offensive line with without your two coaches?

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Who takes over those bots? Well, Um, you know, we'll

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: get into the specifics of that as far as we

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: work through the week, but you know, we have we

33
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: have some options with Lunda Wells and um, Chase Haslett

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: and Ben maculd do so, so we got some different

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: scenarios of exactly how we're gonna work the week. Would

36
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: you say that Arret's feel is out Thursday? Everybody that

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: I announced will not be part of the game Thursday,

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: all four? Mike, do you get more involved as far

39
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: as what you do with the oftentive line in a

40
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: situation like this, Well, I think the biggest thing is

41
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: just to make sure that uh, you know the job

42
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: description and responsibility is always you know tight, um, you know,

43
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: I you know, we feel really good about our game

44
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: plan process. You know, the you know, how we'll do

45
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: the group meetings will be um, you know, we'll spend

46
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: a little more time together as a group. Yeah. So

47
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean this this is um, you know something that

48
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think that this is an opportunity for

49
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: young coaches to to to you know, take advantage of.

50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean definitely I'll be where I need

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: to be this week. Um. So you know, we have

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: some moving moving parts. One thing that um, if you're aware,

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: we'll be working virtual today and tomorrow. It's part of

54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: the protocol that that we're a part of right now

55
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: because of our COVID situation. So um, we'll just continue

56
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: to work through. So it's a different structure and regardless

57
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: of of the positive testing Michae. Also with Amari Cooper,

58
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: like you say, you need to check it conditioning. What

59
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: from your report, what was he able to do and

60
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: what was it kind of conditioning with the able to

61
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: with it a mild case where he was able to

62
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: work out some on his own or what do you

63
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: know about that? I don't I don't have the details

64
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: of itout. You know, talk to Jim Mayer this morning

65
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: about the Mary particularly, and he just felt that the

66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: conditioning was going to be something that we're going to

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: have to get a hold of, you know, tomorrow. And

68
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, obvious for any player coming

69
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: off of the ten day the ten days stretch. So

70
00:03:52,040 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: we'll know more tomorrow. We have a chance to work Mike.

71
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: When you hit the run game. We asked you about

72
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: it on Friday. I believe it isn't a matter of

73
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: adjusting to the adjustments the defensive and made against you

74
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: guys are definitely just a matter of you know, there's

75
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: one breakdown every play and it's a different guy. How

76
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: do you look at that? That what the defenses have

77
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: done against you, it's different, and what you guys have

78
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: to do better? Well, I think you hit it. You

79
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: hit on the two main points. You know, obviously with

80
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: anything you're doing this league when you have success. We've

81
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: also been very successful running the football, you know, the

82
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: first part of the season, So you know what it's

83
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: people are gearing up for it, um, So you know

84
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,559
Speaker 1: that's definitely part of it. Um. You know, we're getting

85
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: ready to play an exceptional defensive front. I've been very,

86
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: very impressed with New Orleans defense as a whole, but

87
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: I think their front is is definitely a big challenge,

88
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: you know. And then I think if you go back

89
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: to last game, I think your point's well taken. You know,

90
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: we we just had plays we're you know, an individual

91
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: here or individual there, you know didn't execute the block

92
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: or you know, it just wasn't quite what it needed

93
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: to be. So you know, that's part of the self scout.

94
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: We need to stay on top of our self scout

95
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: because I think, just like anything I'm at this point

96
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: of year, people are locked into your formations and your

97
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: run tendencies, and you know when we run and how

98
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: we run. So that's all part of the chess match.

99
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we gotta we

100
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: gotta get ready to execute an allowed environment and it

101
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: gets a really good football team, you know, coming Thursday night.

102
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: Back back to the COVID stuff. Are you guys testing

103
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: more now? Every day? I got any of that because

104
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: of this or that. The new protocols the league is

105
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: put in play, Well, we're part of a new protocol

106
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure if it's exactly just what the

107
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: league had intended you know, starting on Thanksgiving Day, but

108
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: just because of our particular situation, you know, we'll be testing. Um,

109
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: I've tested yesterday today, and we'll test again tomorrow and

110
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: given Tuesday. So we're in a cycle right now that

111
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: we're paying close attention to it. When you're talking about

112
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: being virtual to today and tomorrow, now, how is that

113
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: a change from what you'd planned to do because of

114
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: these positive tests or what has the alteration been with

115
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: practice in and meeting? Yeah, definitely, and I mean this

116
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: is a change. A decision was made last night, so

117
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean just in communication with the league office and uh,

118
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: you know Jim Mower and you know the medical staff

119
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: that this is the this is the best plan for

120
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: us to move forward. So we will be in a

121
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: virtual format today and we will definitely be in a

122
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: virtual format again tomorrow. Tuesday is undecided at this point.

123
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: What does that mean for practice and like day to

124
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: walk through today and the practice everything around that and

125
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: that remains the same or well what the plan is

126
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: that you know, the players have tested, so that's been

127
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: going on all morning. They've been able to come in

128
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: and get their breakfast to go, UM and then also

129
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: make sure that their iPads and all their equipment is

130
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 1: ready to go. So we'll start with a new meeting,

131
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: then we have meetings throughout the afternoon, and then after

132
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: the meetings concluded three fifteen, the players will will come

133
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: to the Star and we will work on the field

134
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: from four to fifteen to about five thirty. So I

135
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: mean that's the plan today, and then we'll do a

136
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: similar format tomorrow because you guys with do this last

137
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: year and Spence better quip you to handle a lot

138
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: of the virtual stuff that you're going through today and tomorrow. Well, yeah,

139
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: we really we have we have three plans. You know,

140
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: standard plan was the norm that we've been in up

141
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: to this point. Then we have the virtual format that

142
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: we're going to utilize today and tomorrow, and then and

143
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: then we have the you know, uh, you know the

144
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: plan that the last year plan where you know, we

145
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: had everybody spread out, you know, six feet, So I

146
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: mean that's something we may look to do um in

147
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: the future. Coming back off to buy weekend. So I mean,

148
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: so we have those three plans in place, just going

149
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: through the experience last year, So it's just a matter

150
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: of activating, you know, which plan we're going to be

151
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: in
