1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: All right, Um, so you know, grinding through uh in 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: a day two here, I thought, you know, yesterday it 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: was a really productive day for us. We certainly learned 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: a lot. Um going through the film. I saw a 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: lot of good matchups, good opportunities for us to match 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: up against different players. Um schematically, you know, saw quite 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: a few different things. Um. Um, you know, Lions gave us, 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: you know, problems in a number of areas that we 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: can go to the film and correct and adjust and 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: so forth. So um, really good uh, good competitive practice. 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: I think we'll you'll get the same thing today. Um 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: maybe you know, with continued emphasis on situational work and 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: and the one on one matchups. But that was really 14 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: good work for us yesterday, and you know, we got better. 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: So hopefully we can build on that. I'll keep pushing 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: in that direction. Bill just early obviously the dame. But 17 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: what is he show? What you like? Should that's what 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: games to work on everything? So um, the chases, tall team, 19 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: the runs. Well, he's got good size, good power. Um 20 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: had a very productive, you know career at Michigan, and 21 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to seeing him out there in 22 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: some game action, both on defense and the kicking game. 23 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: But like every rookie, he's he's got a long way 24 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: to go, a lot of things to work on, different 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: game and competitions, very very high. So but it was 26 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: a battle. So it goes feels there anything that you 27 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: didn't see yesterday that you definitely would like to see 28 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: more from your team today, we can improve in every year. 29 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: And so that's that's what we'll try to do. Coaching, playing, running, passing, kicking, 30 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: like you name it. There's a lot of things we 31 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: can do better. And so well that's what this is for. UM. 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: Lions are a good team. They're well coached. UM, they 33 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: have a lot of good players. UM, they press and 34 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: a lot of problems. So some things we didn't handle 35 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: very well. We need to handle better. Some things were okay, 36 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: but we'll just and I'm sure we'll see other things 37 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: today that we didn't see yesterday, which would be good, 38 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: so we can work on those. Bill mappetution was had 39 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: that you guys probably just more situational work today. How 40 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: how good at the joint practices for that, specifically to 41 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: create some of those games situations that maybe don't get 42 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: into preseason games. They're great, Yeah, they're great, and to 43 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: be able to see a different team in those situations 44 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: is valuable. So we've worked against each other, but we 45 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: do what we do, and you know, after you've seen 46 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: enough of that, it kind of you know, it's a 47 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: little bit there's just other things that we need to 48 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: cover that we don't do on one side of the 49 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: ball or the other, and so this is an opportunity 50 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: to see some of those and see different players doing 51 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: them and different techniques or different schemes situationally. So that's 52 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: that's been good. We we certainly had a lot of 53 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: things come up yesterday and some things on the coaching 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: end that we didn't cover that we so the players 55 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: didn't have a good chance to handle properly. Um, So 56 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: we'll you know, get those straighten out and continue with 57 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: the process. It just because it hasn't come up, but 58 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: they've come up now and we need to deal with it, 59 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: and so we will. So that's the kind of thing 60 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: that these practices are really good for. Bill. It's one 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: of those areas communication, Yeah, definitely, and we'll you know, 62 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: stress that today with more crowd noise. So yeah, again, 63 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,119 Speaker 1: a lot of times it's easy for us to identify 64 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: who's who because we practice against them for all spring 65 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: and whatever, eight practices and training camps, so you know 66 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: you've gone against the same same group for eighteen practices. 67 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: It's not that mysterious. But you know, here you things 68 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: happen faster and they're you're less familiar with the team 69 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: and what they do and so forth, and so it's 70 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: more challenging. But that's that's real football. That's what we 71 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: have to deal with every week. So that's good review 72 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: the practice dams process for you that as are ging 73 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: the game tape. Oh, I mean, it is what it is. 74 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: So what we do out there we do. There's some 75 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: things we can't do, um because of the restrictions we 76 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: put on practice rules and live tackling and cut blocking 77 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: and hitting the quarterback and things like that. So there's 78 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: some finish to the plays that aren't aren't available to 79 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: see in practice that are different in the games, which 80 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: is an important part of the games to see the 81 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: finish of the play so much a lot of times 82 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: that determines the whole outcome of the play. UM. So 83 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: just you know, what we can do, we correct and 84 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: work on. What we can't do, we prepare to do. 85 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: But you know that won't happen till Thursday night or 86 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: the other opportunities during the year. How would you say? So? 87 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: And he's coming along just in terms of his development 88 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: in the passing year, I think everybody's making progress. I 89 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: think that all the players out there are working hard 90 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: and they're all making progress in there whatever area that 91 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: they're in. It's just that he has the summer and 92 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: not having last summer. Is that just for the passing 93 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: year in particular? Is that pretty important to have a 94 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: whole summer for a back Any times a viable time. 95 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: So whatever whatever time we have, we try to use 96 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: and players use, and hopefully it's all valuable. Officials officials 97 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: out at practice yesterday given rule changes in the offseason, 98 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,119 Speaker 1: just to see how those things might hand out coming 99 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: they might be called. Yeah, we haven't really had a 100 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: lot of new rules come up out there in practice, 101 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: but it's good for the players to have the officials 102 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: view the play and determine whether it's holding or illegal 103 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: contact or whatever. Some of those are. You know, they're 104 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: somewhat close calls, and how the coach would see it 105 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: and maybe how the player sees it in practice is 106 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: one thing, but it doesn't really matter the really thing 107 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: matters how the official sees it. So, um, it's still 108 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: illegal contact, then we hit them too deep. If it's holding, 109 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: then we held them. If we dp item or op 110 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: at them, then then it was too much. So I 111 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: think it's good for us to to understand those little 112 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: small variations that what's okay and what isn't okay. You know, 113 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: everybody's trying to be aggressive and a pete and all that, 114 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: but there's a certain line there that you have to 115 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: stay below, and this does a good job of identified it. 116 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: For so I thought they did a real good job 117 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: out there usday of throwing the flags of um, you know, 118 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: calling in fractions and just we need to eliminate them 119 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: and try to play penalty free. But they identified them 120 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: well and so that was that was very helpful. Schlie Calpoon. 121 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: We see the players that you guys liked in sixteen 122 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: and we're kind of visual to revisit when he's a human. 123 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: Bill's all season. Uh yeah, so yeah, we definitely, um, 124 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, felt like he would have an opportunity to 125 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: compete here, which um he's done a good job of 126 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: and there's some other things we had to work through 127 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: with him, but um, glad we have him, and you 128 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: know he's very competitive in his positions, so we'll see 129 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: how it goes, just even through whatever it is. Now 130 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: ten days of camp, all right, Well, the first ten 131 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: days of camp are hard, um for everybody because there's 132 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: um new new in material being installed all the time, 133 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: and then the other side of the balls installing new 134 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: material all the time, so you know, exponentially, the multiples 135 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: increase very dramatically. Um So it's not just one side 136 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: of the ball putting in a few things, it's that 137 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: times all the things that are in plus all the 138 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: new things the other side of the ball installs and 139 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: so forth. So things start to settle down a little bit. Now, 140 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: um it's not everything against everything, it's a smaller menu 141 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: against more specific things that our opponent does or that 142 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, in this case Detroit's doing so. Um So 143 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: I think the process actually narrows a little bit there. 144 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: Um competition picks up, and the unfamiliarity with Detroit relative 145 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: to the familiarity that we have with our own team 146 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: is is more. But um so it's an emphasis in 147 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: different areas. But yeah, those the first part of camp 148 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: is hard. It's hard for coaches. Hard for players, you're 149 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: trying to make adjustments to everything that can happen. Not 150 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: everything's going to happen, but you know you have to 151 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: cover it because eventually it will. But on a weekly 152 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: week basis, you just don't. You know, you don't see 153 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: the full spectrum of what you see over the course 154 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: of the season. But when you install, you you kind 155 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: of cover everything. So it's the volumes high. Have you 156 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: seen I know it's only a few days now, but 157 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: have you seen him to settle maybe as that votus 158 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: narrows a little bit, well, again, the challenge has changed, 159 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think he's become more familiar with what 160 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: we're doing. But you know, now we're doing against a 161 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: new team, different matchups, and you know, they do things 162 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: differently than our defense, doesn't than what he's seen, So 163 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: there's an adjustin period there too. Hopefully it'll be better 164 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: tomorrow and better Thursday, you know, as he goes through 165 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: the week. I mean, this is certainly a lot better 166 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: to prepare for the game, working against the Lions here 167 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: in practice than it is, you know, trying to run 168 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: plays off cards that simulate what they do of us 169 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: trying to stimulate what they do it's a lot easier 170 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: to just go out and see them do it and 171 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: see the players who are doing it do it well. 172 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: How's the progression of the tight end group going? And 173 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: what's the impact with losing the player le Gronkowski on 174 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: that group and the offense too. All the progression of 175 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: all the positions are that's contained within that position. And again, 176 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: we're getting better every day. We have a lot of 177 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: individual work out there against blocking and route running and 178 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: so forth, and uh than we have group periods and 179 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: we have team periods, so there's chances for players to 180 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: improve their fundamentals. They're overall execution of the place in 181 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: in seven on seven and team situations. So again, I 182 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: think everybody's improving. Everybody's getting better way of a lot 183 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: of guys out there, a lot of guys working hard, 184 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: and they have good competition and a lot of spots. 185 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: So we'll see how it all plays out. I don't know, 186 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: we got a long way to go. How does the 187 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: grade of the Lions Hill compared to the one back home? 188 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: It was warm out there yesterday. I think everybody felt 189 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: it so good getting on a different himes. Not a 190 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: lot a lot out on the back. Yeah, I don't 191 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: have to worry about that part of it. But yeah, 192 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: that's good. That's good. So you saw Mike Pella Greenham 193 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 1: dealing with an arm angery. When does the coaches in 194 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: the report come out? Yeah, Mike's it was day to 195 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: day there for a while. But I think I think 196 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: we'll get him out there, match him up against Matt. 197 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: I don't good injury for injury. Okay, thank you, all right, 198 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: see you out there.
