1
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: First question would be from Nikomalley, followed by my Grease. Hey, Vinny,

2
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: running back in particular is a position that gets a

3
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: lot of punishment on the outfits the side of the ball.

4
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: How important is it to have these breaks here with

5
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: the bye week or maybe a week where there's like

6
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: a Sunday to Thursday break, Like, how much does rest

7
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: between games effect of running backs health heading out through

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: the season. You know, I think rest in general is

9
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: always going to be good, but always just body maintenance

10
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: throughout the season is going to be really important. Getting

11
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: into cold tubs, taking care of your body, getting treatment

12
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: at all the times, not getting behind on it, because

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: when you get behind on it, that's when things can

14
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: start to pile up. So just and proactive and following

15
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: the examples of like Matthew Slater, Devin mccordy, James White

16
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: for a long time while he was here, always got

17
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: a lot of treatment, Damian gets a lot of treatment. Romandre.

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: All these guys, you know, they try and take care

19
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: of their body the best of their ability. And it's

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: been it's been good so far. Thank you. Expression Mike

21
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: Greece fall by Chris Ryan, Hey, Vinnie, how are you

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: doing good? How are you doing, Mike doing well? Great

23
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: to talk with you. Let's think about Romandra and some

24
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: of his growth from you know, from when he came

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: in last year to this year. What do you see?

26
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: What do you see as some of his the main

27
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: areas of growth. You know, Um, he's worked extremely hard. UM.

28
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: A lot of last year I really believe was just

29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: he was a very he's a very talented football player,

30
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: and I think that's what he played on last year

31
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: and this year he's really charting to dive into what

32
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: the hell of a lot of guys around him scheme,

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: how people play certain coverages, how people like to pressure,

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: using indicators, using where people align. I think I think

35
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: that's where he's grown the most this year, is his

36
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: understanding of defenses, how coverages are being played, and then

37
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: how he can run certain rounds or how things should

38
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 1: be blocked based on what the looks are. I think

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: he's done a great job. He's worked extremely hard, and

40
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: it's because of the benefits of guys around him, like

41
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: Damien's helped him out extraordinary James last year, Brandon Bolden

42
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: last year tried what was helping him out, and then

43
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: all everybody on the coaching staff. Everybody just tries to

44
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: give little talking points and try and help him out

45
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: as the best visibility and just thinking about you as

46
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: he's sort of in the early stages of your coaching career.

47
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 1: What did coach fears What did you take from him?

48
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: I love the smile right like I mean, because if

49
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: you hear the name right, I think how fortunate you

50
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: were to come into a situation where you could work

51
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: with him. You know. But wait, I learned an extraordinary

52
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: amount from Coach Fierce. I learned discipline every single day,

53
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: doing things the right way, doing everything as long as

54
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: the season can be, doing it the same way every

55
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: single week. I learned from the fundamentals of the of

56
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 1: the position from Coach Fierce, which always are the most

57
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: important things because your fundamentals are going to carry you

58
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: throughout the season. I learned individual drills. I learned how

59
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: to talk to the guys, how to understand them. His

60
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: impact on me has been a lot. You know, my

61
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: dad is a big impact on my life. Coach Stable

62
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: and Coach Belichick are very big impacts on my coaching career.

63
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: And then there's Coach Fierce. And he's not last because

64
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: that that'd be disrespectful to him. He was immense and

65
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: what he's done for me and where I'm at today,

66
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: so I can never thank him enough. Thanks Benny, appreciate it,

67
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Thank you. Thanks question Chris Ryan, Hey, Vinny are you good?

68
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: Are you doing? Chris good? Um, wanted to get your

69
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,679
Speaker 1: take on, you know mare behind the scenes where guys

70
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: will talk about him being, you know, very quiet but

71
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: very competitive. Who is he in the in the room

72
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: and do you have any stories or anecdotes that m

73
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: len to who he is? You know, I don't have

74
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: any stories. Romundre's a great kid. He is extremely competitive

75
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: any situation, he wants to win. And I think that's

76
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: something that every single great football player needs to have

77
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: to be good in this league. Um, there's a lot

78
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: of guys that are the exact same, not just in

79
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: my room, but on the football team and across the NFL.

80
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: But yeah, you have to be competitive, and you have

81
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: to want to win and every situation or you'll get exposed.

82
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: And he's not doesn't talk the most, but he listens

83
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: to everything that every single coach ever says. He's extremely

84
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: coachable and he's he's just a pleasure to have in

85
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: the room. I love I love coaching the kid and you.

86
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: Mike was asking up about his growth, have you seen,

87
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, more growth in the passing game or in

88
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: the in the running game has been kind of simultaneous.

89
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: I think it's been simultaneous. Growth in the passing game

90
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: always comes with experience, because the more you're exposed to it,

91
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: the more you learn protections, the more you learn coverages,

92
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: the more you learn how to run your rounds. Everything

93
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 1: comes with experience. So the more you run certain rounds,

94
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: the better you get a feel for it and how

95
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: you need to run your route based off leverage and

96
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: coverage that you're being matched against. In the running game,

97
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: he's always been very, very good at that. It's just

98
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: a natural feel for him. But his understandings with the

99
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 1: help of Damien with fronts and how the blocks should

100
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: be blocked and how it should look up front, and

101
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: his anticipation on where the ball should go also has

102
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: improved this year too. So I think he's worked extremely hard.

103
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: He worked hard in the offseason, he's worked hard in

104
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: training camp, he's worked hard during the season, and he

105
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: continues to work hard every single day. And that's really

106
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: the example of my room. Everybody works extremely hard every

107
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: single day, and I think that's that's a good thing.

108
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: It's a it's a competitive room. Thanks for shit, Thank

109
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: you all right, next rushing Karen Gregian. Morning, Vinny, how

110
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: are you good? How are you doing, ma'am? Good? Um.

111
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: I'm curious. You ran the ball pretty effectively against the

112
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: Jets a few weeks back. But how good is their

113
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: front and how challenging is it to run against them?

114
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: You know they have they have a very good front,

115
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: They have a very good friend seven. Running the ball

116
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: is never going to be easy against this type of

117
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: style of defense. Coach Salah over there in New York

118
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: has them playing extremely hard. CJ is really controlling the

119
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: front seven and he's doing a great job. And we

120
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: really have to go out and show our best and

121
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: play to try and play as tough as we can

122
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: because they're a good front seven and it should be

123
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: a good fight up front. Thank you, Thank you, Vinnie,

124
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone,
