1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Cooled up, cooled up just in time for camp for 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: us here, so they kind of cut a break on 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: that next couple of days. Um, good to get you know, 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: always good to get going this time of year. You know, 5 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: it's been a lot of hard work on preparation put 6 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: into the twenty nineteen season, going all the way back 7 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: to February fourth, so various aspects of team building, training, 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: off season program, OTA's Mini Camp, so forth, and so on. 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: So um, you know, I was a chance where we 10 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: can really start to see it all come together. And 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of different types of players on 12 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: our teams, some guys that have been here before, some 13 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: that are new, some have been with other teams in 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: the league, and are very various stages of experience, and 15 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: I'm excited to work with all of them, excited to 16 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: see how it all comes together. So we'll just take 17 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: a one step at a time, one day at a time. Obviously, 18 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: got a long, long, long way to go, but looking 19 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: to make progress every day and I just kind of 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: continue to move the ball forward. Just quick comment on 21 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: the NFL Top one hundred project. I guess there's some 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: things that have been released as a part of that 23 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: promotion or whatever exactly it is. I'm not sure, but 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: I just say it was a great honor for me 25 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: to be part of the selection process and to be 26 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: part of the show. There are obviously thousands of great 27 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: NFL players and coaches, legends involved in the game, any 28 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: of whom I've watched or observed or studied throughout my 29 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: entire life, and so it was a tremendous process, very 30 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: difficult in terms of the selection, but it was again 31 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: a great honor to be a part of it, and 32 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: to get down and be in NFL Films and and 33 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: see that operation was extremely impressive. It's a great they 34 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: do great job preserving the history of the game. It's 35 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: extremely well run professional. Um, they have great resources and 36 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: think have done a tremendous job and their presentation of 37 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: the game. Um, Kenny Rogers, the Sable family, the entire 38 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: NFL Films group, so um, you know it's Being on 39 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: set with Chris and Rich was a great honor, a 40 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: great thrill, and many of the legends that we were 41 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: there with us, So that was something I've never been 42 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: a part of. And um, it's very insightful and certainly 43 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: gave me a greater appreciation for this great game and 44 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: with the National Football League has accomplished and the individuals 45 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: who have written the stories over the last one hundred years. 46 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: So um, it's a great experience for me. So um. 47 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: But moving back to the present here, we're get underway 48 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: today and just like I said, take it one day 49 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: at a time. See how it goes. Just the business 50 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: at a hand, Like every player report that you were 51 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: expected to report. Uh, yeah, we'll have something at the 52 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: end of the day. If there any things, we have 53 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: an announcence, we'll make him at the end of the day. 54 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: So pretty earlier. It's at ten am, right, yeah, surely. 55 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: So you enjoy training, Camper, do you find it? Ryan? 56 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: Training camps are very necessary part of getting the football 57 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: team ready. I endraw all parts of football season. I'm 58 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: beginning to end off season. In season, I draw all 59 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: do you expect to have a new contract and extend 60 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: We're an extension for Tom Brady before I'm not gonna 61 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: talk about player contracts or any other contracts that man. Obviously, Bill, 62 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: you're looking forward to the season year, but it is 63 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: your twenty season now as the head coach of the Features. 64 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: Do you ever allow yourself moving to reflect on just 65 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: how long you've been here, and it's happened over twenty years. Yeah, 66 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: I haven't spent a lot of time on that though. 67 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: What does it mean to be in a place for 68 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: twenty years? I enjoy it here. I appreciate the opportunity 69 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: to be here. I enjoy coaching our team. I hope 70 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: I can do a good job. I want to try 71 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: to give him the best that I can. Put our seat, 72 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: put ourselves, put our team, put our individual players and 73 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: coaching staff in the best position, and we can to compete. 74 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: I hope I can do that this year, Bill Isaiah, 75 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: when avoided the helpless? Do you expect from the beautiful 76 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: got the beating of training game? Yeah, we'll see where 77 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: everybody is. That's part of the start of training campus 78 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: to evaluate everybody's physical condition, especially the players that didn't 79 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: participate last year or that are new to the team 80 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: that are dealing with some type of condition let's call it. So, 81 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: I don't know, Well, let's see how it all goes. 82 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: If you're not having any to joint practices last year, 83 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: is there two stretches this year with Detroit in Nashville? 84 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: What type of benefit that will be? It will get 85 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: those practices in. I think it will help our team improve. 86 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: We'll see. Will there be a challenge associated with being 87 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: away from your facility for essentially a couple of weeks there? 88 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: I mean, there are always a lot of logistics and 89 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: moving a football team somewhere. It's a lot of people, 90 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: it's a lot of equipment, it's a lot of it's 91 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: a lot to do what people in our organizations do 92 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: a great job of that, and we have to do 93 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: it on all the away games each each year we've 94 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: had away games overseas and in Mexico and cross country 95 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: and everywhere else. So that's what it is. Well, how 96 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: if it all is, knowing you have two sets of 97 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: joy practices coming up affect how you want to structure 98 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: your practice is here before you get there, your awaiting 99 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: practices all I mean, you take it into account. We 100 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: know what we're going to do in Detroit, we know 101 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: we're going to do in Tennessee. We'll try to do 102 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: the things that we need to do to prepare for 103 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: what we're going to do there. So you know, we 104 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: have a little bit more control of we by ourselves. 105 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: But there's a great benefit to working with those two 106 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: great organizations, and we'll work around what we would do 107 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: by ourselves and either working in with them or find 108 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: some other time to do it. I think some Julian 109 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: Edelman's sort of approach, whether it's practice or just the 110 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: way he comes in the building, set a tone for 111 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: the rest of the team. Yeah, we have a lot 112 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: of hard working guys on our team. Julian's one of them. 113 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: And we have a lot of guys that come to 114 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: work most of most everybody thought matters comes to work 115 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: with a purpose and a great attitude and great work 116 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: ethic every day. I think we all feed off each 117 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: other on that. You ask him at all, like extending 118 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: himself to help others, or maybe he always did that, 119 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: but from the young receiver along and sort of showing 120 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: some of the finer hands of the game. Like I said, 121 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: something that is pretty consistent with him. Okay, we have 122 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: a lot of players that do that. I'd say, really, 123 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: all of our veteran players do it. Yeah, I mean 124 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: he does it, but I mean they all do it. 125 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: Sea Josh Willis's true. Yeah, there'll be a league matter 126 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: you should talk to them about. So is there a 127 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: distinct challenge or of opportunity and in mentioning the number 128 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: of new coaches and had of courts to different spots 129 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: at you see, I don't think I'm following your time. 130 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: You look at the turn over on the coaching stappened. 131 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: If you do us, if you difficult for a bunch 132 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,599 Speaker 1: of guys would have it. But is there an opportunity 133 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: as well to maybe drive it down with different anything 134 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: like that? Yeah, I don't know. I mean it's the 135 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: National Football League. There's changes on every team every year. 136 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: Every team changes players, and I'm managing every team of 137 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: league's has staff changes. I mean with that staff changing 138 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: is almost every year. I would say every year. I 139 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: can't think of one that we didn't have one. So 140 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: it's a National Football League. I don't know. That's the 141 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: way it is. Is there an old site challenge for 142 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: you with different every year? You try to do the 143 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: best you can to put your team together and put 144 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: it in the most competitive position possible. And that includes everything. 145 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: It's every single aspect of the organization is encompassed in 146 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: that that plan and that goal. So I don't see 147 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: this year as any different from any other year. I 148 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: don't think any year will be any different. Fundamentally, it's 149 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: different in that there are different changes in different modifications 150 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: or adjustments or things you might have to do differently. 151 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: But even if you have the same people, you might 152 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: be doing them differently anyway for other reasons. So you know, 153 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: each year's its own entity and that's that's the way 154 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: I try to approach it. Joe Kim had as a 155 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: new titled director of Skill Development. How would this rule 156 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: change this year is from that year is different? I 157 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: don't think it'll change much. Bill, the mini camp was 158 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: the teaching camp, dots the evaluation part with training camp 159 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: as part. But as m as no more data and 160 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: analytics have come out as the way you evaluate players 161 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: during this time and training camp change with just the 162 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: ability you know, to even have more access to different 163 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: tapes in different numbers that are out there. No, it's 164 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: fundamentally the same, but I mean we're gonna we're gonna 165 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: be in the same basically practice um format that we 166 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: were in in in many camp for two days and 167 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: then things change on Saturday. So for these two days 168 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: it's kind of a continuation of where we were in 169 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: the spring. No pads on, we don't have contact, we're 170 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: not going to be evaluate, be able to evaluate the 171 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: running game, interior line play and so forth and so on. 172 00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: So um, but we'll get to that, and we'll get 173 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: to it against two other teams, and we have four 174 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 1: preseason games, same as every other team in the league, UM, 175 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: other than all of Fame teams. So that's yeah, that's 176 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: what it is. How valuable is it? Guys like former players, 177 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: they toured around and those guys around. Yere has done 178 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: a great job for us. Um. It's good to have 179 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: Dion and um Kevin in the spring. Um. We've got 180 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: other players here from time to time. So that's I 181 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: think it's always a plus. And it's good for our 182 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: our players, UM to connect with those guys. They've heard 183 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: about him, they've seen them on training tapes, they've heard 184 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: us refer to them in various situations or examples. And 185 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: so I actually see him and interact with him. I 186 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: think's good for good for the players they don't know him. 187 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: It's good for us that yeah, do you get to 188 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,599 Speaker 1: see him again? So yeah, but we always have, you know, 189 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: a bunch of those guys around when we were another. 190 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: Look forward to seeing Rodney come in a couple of weeks, 191 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: and sure he'll have other teammates here with him for that, 192 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: so that's all. That's all good. Is there any concerned 193 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: about so many making progress with the I guess he 194 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: had another procedure on the MEE back in the spring. 195 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: Maybe that's impacting his old roll roth as a player. 196 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: I think Sony's working hard. I think all we have 197 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: players that are in a lot of different stages of 198 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: physical let's call readiness at this point in time. I 199 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: will just take a day by day, so how it goes, 200 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. How would you describe Matthews Slater's impact 201 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: just on the organization. That's a whole ana since he's 202 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: been here, and how very good, very good. It's a 203 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,599 Speaker 1: strong leader so obviously has a great role in the 204 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: kicking game. But he's one of the most respected players 205 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: on the team, as he should be by everyone, high 206 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: quality person. It's been a great, great part of our 207 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 1: team for over a decade. Billy, you think about repeating, 208 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: defeel pressure to repeat Super Bowl change, They're about trying 209 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: to have a good day to day is what I'm 210 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: thinking about it. Then first practice tomorrow, getting out to 211 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: a good start and having good practice tomorrow. Okay, thank you,
