1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Great, all right, thank you. Um, all right, well, it's

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: always a you know, difficult day to you know, talk

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: to players that have, um, you know, it worked very hard,

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: giving you everything they've had over you know, extended a

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: period of time weeks, months, in some cases years, and

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, tell them that they're not not going to

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: be on the roster at this point in time. So, UM,

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: you know it's hard for everybody. And I respect what

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: are players both on and off the roster right now,

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: players we had in training camp, what they did, what

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: they committed to, and how hard they worked. So you know,

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: it just goes without saying that. It's you know, it's

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: not an easy situation for anybody the team, the player

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: or the teammates that you know see those things happening

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: along the way. Yet it's something that we all know

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: as part of you know, playing professional football and we

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: all signed up for that. So um, you know this

18
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: comes with the terror tory. That being said, Um, there

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: was a lot of roster movement in the last two weeks.

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: They'll continue to be significant roster movement throughout the league, um,

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: and on our team, I'm sure in the next few

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: days and some of those some of that movement on

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: other teams may or may not affect us. We'll just

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: have to see how that goes. But just in general,

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: I would say that the roster building process is far

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: from complete and we'll be starting to assemble a practice

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: squad today and if that if past years or any indication,

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure that that process will also continue for a

29
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: period of time until that that's resolved. And so there's

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of movements still to go.

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: So really, would you know, I think be inappropriate for

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: me to you know, comment on on you know, some positions,

33
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: some situations that are really still in the process of

34
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: UM that are not at the final point yet that

35
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: there's some process that's involved or going on, and some

36
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: of that, UM, I know will happen. Some of that

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what will happen because it might be

38
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: dependent on other things in the league. So UM that

39
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: that's really kind of where we are here for today

40
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: and at the same time trying to you know, start

41
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: getting ready for Miami. UM. But you know, the really

42
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: the most important thing right now is to try to

43
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: put the best roster together that we can to compete

44
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: during the season, UM and UM before we really get

45
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: to Miami. You know, see what they're doing because as

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: they're in the same situation, they're you know, they're they're

47
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: putting things together on their end, just like we are,

48
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: just like every other team in the league. Is so um,

49
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, we know a lot about Miami, but there

50
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: are still things that are probably yet to be completely determined,

51
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they feel the same way about us.

52
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: So UM process is begun, but we're still always from

53
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, really being able to you know, really dig

54
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: in on them until until some rosters are um said,

55
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: or certainly more definitive than what they are right now.

56
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: So that's where I wrote today, Cobley Morning Built. I

57
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: was wondering, was it when it came to cam Um,

58
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: was there a desire to have him to stay with

59
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the team in a backup role or was that never

60
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: presented as an option. Yeah, I'm not going to go

61
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: through all the different things that UM with any player

62
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: on that, so we'll just you know, leave it the

63
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: way it is and UM, you know, go from there.

64
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: Was that a difficult decision to make, Bill Well, I mean,

65
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't rank them. You know, we we make decisions

66
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: and and then we execute them and go on and

67
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: take it from there. So next question, Joe Knob and

68
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: you're telling him good morning, Bill, wondering how much did

69
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Um having those three days to himself for Matt Jones

70
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: help him beat out Cam for that position. Yeah, I

71
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: don't know, and it's just a quick follow up. Did

72
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Cam's vaccination status have anything to do with him being released? No? No,

73
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you guys keep talking about that, and

74
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, I would just point out that I don't

75
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: know what the number is. I mean, you guys can

76
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: look it up. You have the access to a lot

77
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: of information. But the number of players and coaches and

78
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: staff members that have you know, been infected by COVID

79
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: in this training camp, who have been vaccinated, it is

80
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: a pretty high number. So I wouldn't lose sight of that.

81
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: Next Christian Andrew Kemping Fall Break, George book Bill, why

82
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: was releasing Cam in the best interest in the team? Well,

83
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean that that's our decision, and you know, I

84
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: mean we've had, you know, weeks of meetings on all players,

85
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: so it be impossible to rehash everything that happened at

86
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: that position or any other position. But you know, ultimately

87
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: there's a lot of factors that are involved in and

88
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: we made our decisions. Thanks question George Brookkin for they've

89
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: been For Bill, when did mac earn the job? And

90
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: for you what solidified him earning it? Yeah. Again, I'm

91
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: not going to go into details of decisions and the

92
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: timing and all that. I mean, we'd be here forever.

93
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a process us you know, very

94
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: competitive situation at that position, and both players took you know,

95
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: pretty close to an equal number of repetitions in total,

96
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, between practice games going all the way back

97
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: to the spring. So that's what it was. It's no

98
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: stranger how difficult your playbook is. How do you feel

99
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: like a bookie has handled it and we'll handle it

100
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: this season? Well, I don't know how anything will happen.

101
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's all to be determined in the future.

102
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: That's see. I don't know. Thanks Christian had been vote

103
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: for Bright you own. Thank good morning. Bill. Just now

104
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: you're you're pointing out that you said it was a

105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: high number of players who've been vaccinated have been affected

106
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: by COVID as well. I guess the point with Cam

107
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: was that what he didn't get sick, but he was

108
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: still affected by it, so that didn't play a role

109
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: in your decision. No, we have other players on the

110
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: team who aren't vaccinated, as I would say, probably as

111
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: every other team in the league, and we've had a

112
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: minimal but throughout the league there have been a number

113
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: of quite a high number, I would say, of players

114
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: who have had the virus who have been vaccinated. So

115
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: your implication the vaccination solves every problem is just not really.

116
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: I would say that that has not been substantiated based

117
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: on what's happened in training camp this year. That's all.

118
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: How many players on the team are still no vaccinated. Yeah, again,

119
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into that. Those are all

120
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: personal decisions and that's not my place to talk about

121
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: another person's decision or medical condition. Yeah, we'll tak a

122
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: few more questions. Who'll go Allen c Buel Steel, Thanks Stacy,

123
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: Good morning, Bill. Rookie quarterbacks of this league tend to

124
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: make mistakes and correcting mistakes, Obviously, it's extremely important. How

125
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: has Mac responded to the corrections at this point, especially

126
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: in not making the mistake twice, same mistake twice, I

127
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: should say, right, Well, Ellen, there's a lot of mistakes

128
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: made in this league by everybody. Head coaches, veteran head coaches,

129
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: veteran players, rookie players, you name it. Everybody in this

130
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: league makes a lot of mistakes. It's very competitive and

131
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: there's a very fine line and a thin line in

132
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: margin for error. So you know, I probably make more

133
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: than more than anybody, but you know, in the end,

134
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: we all try to do our job the best we

135
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: can try to do it's best for the team, and

136
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: that's what everybody's goal is, no matter how many years

137
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: they have or haven't played, or coached or anything else.

138
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: So that's that's really the goal of everyone. And you know,

139
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't think it's something that really gets broken down

140
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: by years or you know, a number of games or

141
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: anything like that. I think it's you know, we've all

142
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: seen very experienced players and coaches make make rookie mistakes

143
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: and if you want to call them that, And so

144
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't exclude or include anybody or anything. You know,

145
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: we're all responsible for our performance every every time we

146
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: go out there, and it doesn't matter what you have

147
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: or haven't done in the past. You know, the outcome

148
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: of the game and that judgment will be based on

149
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: that current competition. So thanks Bill Yoh, we'll take a

150
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: final question you can steal bill. Um, what qualities does

151
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: Mac have that you like? You drafted this guy in

152
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: the first round. What does he do that that you like? Yeah, well, uh,

153
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, we've talked about that. UM. You know, first

154
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: of all, he's had a you know, a high level

155
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: of production. UM. You know, but I feel like he's

156
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: been able to show an ability to do things the

157
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: way we want them done, um, at a productive level.

158

Speaker 1: So he's young, I'm sure he'll continue to learn and grow.

159
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: We'll see where that that goes. But you know, that's

Speaker 1: why we drafted him, and I think he's come in

161
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: and performed at a level that supports that. Thank you coach.
