1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Morning, Morny, How are you great? Thinking back to last

2
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: time that we talked to, you mentioned the at least

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: competitive game that the team played in the playoffs and

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: whether that was just a bad night or something more.

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: What have you discovered in your review over the last

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: couple of months. Yeah, looking ahead to this year, I

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: tried with the best team on the field we can

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Why the changing the philosophy and

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: free agency this year compared to last year? Yeah, spent

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: a lot of money last year. Those guys are all young,

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: they're under contract. Hey, Bill, Um, with the coaching staff

12
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: and Josh going out, Um, how are you going to

13
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: break down kind of shepherding Mac through his second year?

14
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: You've spoken how important the second year is in general,

15
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: and right now don't seem to be a lot of

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: coaches who've come in. What's the plan right now? Sorry?

17
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: One more sorry? With Josh going out his offensive coordinator,

18
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: what's the plan offensively around Mac with his second year?

19
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: And you've talked before how important that second year is. Yeah, Well,

20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: we're man. We do all the things we do in

21
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: the off season, certainly working through the offensive and defensive

22
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: and special teams systems, and so forth is an important

23
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: part of what we do, and so we're in that process.

24
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: So Layton great to have Joe Judge back and Matt

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: of course, and they're two really good coaches, and along

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: with some of the other coaches that we have offensively,

27
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, Nick, Kylee, so Troy and so forth, guys

28
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: of er last year. So well, we're working through it

29
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: the best we can here. He's gonna step back at

30
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: all in losing a coach of Josh's caliber. You're spoken

31
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: about him a million times in the past, but to

32
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: lose that kind of mentor formac going into a critical

33
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: second year, Yeah, gotta think Matt and Show a pretty

34
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: good coach as Josh a great coach. But you know

35
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: we've gone through that multiple years. So I'm just wondering

36
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: what Joe judge Beck is he gonna have a defined

37
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: role or will he be more of a troubleshooter on

38
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: the offense. Yeah, well, no, everybody will have a defined

39
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: role like they always do. Um again the all seasons,

40
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: they all season. Once we get to getting on the

41
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: field coach and the players and game plan and things

42
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: like that, then you know that'll all work itself out.

43
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: Is your staff complete, and who do you envision calling

44
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: plays on off fence? Yeah, I won't be calling any

45
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: for a while. So we're not calling any for a while.

46
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: You know, any games are wrong. So um, yeah, I

47
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: think our staff is complete. Wouldn't rule anything out, but

48
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think we necessarily would hire anybody else.

49
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: But we'll evaluate every situation as it comes. A lot

50
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: of returnees this year. How quickly did the Malcolm Butler

51
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: come to come together? Um? Well, you know, he indicated

52
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: a desire to play this year, and um, you know,

53
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: we worked through the process with Malcolm like we do

54
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: with every player. Obviously we know him, but um, you know,

55
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: he came up visited, uh where it was last week

56
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: or a week and a half ago. Um, and so

57
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: we signed him. So look forward to having him back. Phil,

58
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: you were talking about Matt Patricia with the offensive staff.

59
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: His primary background with you has been defense. What do

60
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: you see him adding to the offensive staff. Yeah, We've

61
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: had a lot of coaches take multiple responsibilities. Josh and

62
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: Brian Dable were on defense and then went to offense.

63
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: Matt was on offense and went to defense, so forth

64
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: and so on. So I'm not really worried about that.

65
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: I think a good coach is a good coach, and

66
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: Max a great coach, Joe's a great coach. They'll help

67
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: us in the matter what position to coach? And just

68
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: to follow up on Matt, how would you describe his

69
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: role with the organization? Like the fact he's here with

70
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: you today suggests like he's more than maybe just like

71
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: a budget more than that broad role, very broad. He

72
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: does a lot of things ultimate a lot of ways.

73
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Say is he the only person might be an assistant

74
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: coach slash salary cap person too. That seems like a

75
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: pretty unique set of skills there. Yeah, he does a

76
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: lot of things. So you know, he has a lot

77
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: of experience. He's done things, um, you know when it

78
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: was here, and then of course he had experiences in Detroit,

79
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: and you know then last year, um, things like the

80
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: COVID rules and that type of thing. So he's has

81
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: had a lot of different a lot of different roles

82
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: for us, and like I said, it's been a big

83
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: help to me in the organization. Bill, I wanted to

84
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: ask you more about Malcolm Butler. His return. I feel

85
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: like blew a lot of us away. What's your relationship

86
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: like with Malcolm and have you ever talked about the

87
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: Eagles Super Bowl? Talk about what the Eagles Super Bowl

88
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: and how he didn't play in that game. That's all

89
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: old news. What's the relationship like with Malcolm down? Good? Great,

90
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: glad having back going back to the assistant coaches and

91
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: taking different roles. What benefits do you get as a

92
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: head coach of these guys sort of cross training if

93
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: you will, then they're good football coaches, have a lot

94
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: of experience, so multiple roles. I know you mentioned you

95
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: don't have to be calling any plays until September, But

96
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: how difficult to skill is that for a coach to

97
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: develop on either side of the ball. Yeah, I don't know,

98
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: one of many. Is it one of those things that

99
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: you you can't really know how somebody's gonna perform in

100
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: that kind of role until they're in that moment. Yeah, Well,

101
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: we'll get to that when it's time to get to it.

102
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: Like right now, there's a lot of other things on

103
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: the table. I said we will be calling any plays

104
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: there for a while, look at that later. What are

105
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: some of the other things on the table? Draft? Second way, well,

106
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: just in terms of putting our systems together and whatever

107
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: changes we're gonna make making those changes just in a

108
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: new personnel, building with you know some obviously with Mac,

109
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: building with some and now we know kind of who

110
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: we some of the players that we have back that

111
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: we didn't know we were gonna have back, you know,

112
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: putting that together, Um, you know of a devon back.

113
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean that makes a difference to what we can

114
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: do defensively, things like that, Um, you know, looking at

115
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: some new opponents obviously if you know Mike's in a

116
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: division at the NFC, nor it so some other things

117
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: that we need to be ready for. It. Well, that

118
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: was all part of it is creating whatever offense to

119
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: take advantage of max skills? Is that a collaboration? Do

120
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: you take the lead on that? Is it you with

121
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: Mac and Nick, Kayley and Matt? And how does it?

122
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: How does it work? Well? Ullibly, it's my responsibility. So

123
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: whatever happens under that, just whatever happens happened, is it

124
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: gonna be pressed? Can we different this year? I don't

125
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: know kind of ways to go? What are the qualities

126
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: that Matt grow has that have allowed him to rise

127
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: through the organization. Ye, Matt's on a tremendous job for us.

128
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: Um very smart, very detailed. Obviously has a great football

129
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: background with his dad, his family. You know, he's grown up,

130
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: grown up in football and m you know, scouted multiple

131
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: areas for US, said multiple responsibilities from area scouts, from

Speaker 1: a director of college scouting and and you know what,

135
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: Dave leave and feel like he's the best person to

136
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: step into the personnel job. He's done a great job

137
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I think he he's as good

138
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: as anybody that we've had in that position. How surprised

139
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: were you that Tom Lund retired? Yeah, you have fuck

Speaker 1: built through the grounds. I'm surprised. Well. With the movies

142
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: that have been made across the day, we're all the

143
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: trades and decided. Our teams are more but winning our mode.

144
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: Are they changing from take them at Tim Appros? Yeah?

145
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I don't know. I mean, I'm sure each

146
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: teams know what they think is best. That's what we're doing.

147
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, built why trade? Shack Mason felt like I

148
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: was best best mental interest in the team. Do you

149
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: have plans for someone that was on the roster last

150
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: year to take a bigger step this year. Yeah, we'll

151
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: have a lot of competition. We'll see our plays out.

152
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: Was there much sorry, was there much effort to retain

153
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: j C. Jackson? Sure, we talked all the players, all

154
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: our free agent players, and we resigned quite a few

155
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: and somebody didn't resign. Bill. When you've said in the past,

156
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: you're either getting better you're getting worse. And when you

157
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: look at some of the outflow with Josh McDaniels and j. C. Jackson,

158
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: some of the other assistants and Kyle Vannois and Shaq Mason,

159
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: from the outside, it looks like a significant amount of

160
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: important players and coaches have left. Have you guys gotten

161
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: better or worse since the loss to Buffalup. Yeah, well

162
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: we'll find out next year. See, I think some of

163
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: the players that we have on the roster, hopefully we'll

164
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: take a step up. But we'll say now we'll have

165
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: other players, there'll be new players here. Let see what

166
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: happens with them. Speaking of those, John Smith, it's just

167
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: it's an important year for everyone. But I would imagine

168
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: you feel there's probably more in the tank from Johannu

169
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: that you can do now that you've known him for

170
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: a season. I'll listen new year for all of us.

171
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: So sure is yo. You ended up in the middle

172
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: of the Brian Flores lawsuit. What happened from your perspective? Yeah,

173
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: I can't comment on it. Could you comment if you

174
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 1: had any communication with John Marrow? I can't comment on it,

175
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: and I'm on the scheme. Say you're talking about with

176
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: the football team. Jacob Johnson had mentioned to a German

177
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: media outlet just that he was told, from his perspective,

178
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: his services were no longer needed because his position wasn't

179
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: going to be part of the team. How much is

180
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: that part of what you're doing this offseason, changing schemes

181
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: on offense. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Again, we'll put

182
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: together with the offense so we feel is the best

183
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: that we can and that's what we'll do. Bill. I

184
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: know obviously you worked a lot with Mac personally last year,

185
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: but do you see your individual time being spent more

186
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: with with Mac this year with some of the turnover

187
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: obviously in the toun I we'll say that goes um.

188
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've done a variety of things. I'll do,

189
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: and I feel like help suttain the best whatever that is.

190
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: How confident are you that that Mac will be an

191
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: improved player from the end of last year to the

192
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: start of the next one. Here, it's a new year

193
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: for all of us, so we'll see. I'm as simming,

194
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: you're knocking a name and offensive. We're a defensive coordinator

195
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: this year? Why not? Yeah? Yeah, I mean I'm not

196
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: big on titles. So we have jobs to do. We'll

197
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: do the jobs. Does that create any confusion as to

198
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: like accountability, a chain of command and things like that. Yeah,

199
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what difference in nice

200
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: you trade it for Mac Wilson help out back? Does

201
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: your history go with him? Yeah? We saw Matt coming out.

202
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: You know he's um you know, played a lot early

203
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, has played less the last couple of years.

204
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: I feel like he's a good addition. Happy to have him,

205
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: look forward to working with him. We'll see you, I'll

206
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: say that plays out built. Do the titles make a

207
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: difference for guys when they want to proceed to different jobs?

208
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: For instance, a defensive coordinator looking for a head coaching

209
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: job doesn't have to go in if he's just in

210
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: a linebackers coach, you'd explain what his responsibilities are. Additionally,

211
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: it matters relative to salary around the league. I would think,

212
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: so those would be two places that the title matters. Yeah,

213
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: I don't know. You'd have to talk to them about that. Yeah,

214
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: all right, didn't see them matter when Joe Judge was

215
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: hired by the Giants. Didn't matter to you when you

216
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: were an assistant for instance, when you were a defensive

217
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: coordinator with the Giants. Or I don't worry about titles

218
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: or at Giles. The one issue this week is over time.

219
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on the proposals you want to see any changes? Um, Yeah,

220
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of discussion yesterday. I'm sure

221
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: they'll be small discussion. See what everybody's as I say,

222
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: we care about the both team or give an opinion

223
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: about where both teams deserve album possession. Um, there's a

224
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: lot of different arguments for various proposals, so kinda sort

225
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: them out here. When you when you do something for

226
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: twenty three straight years, like how do you keep it

227
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: fresh for yourself to be invigorated to go through the

228
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: process again? And I enjoy it? What joy doing it?

229
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: What do you what do you enjoy about it? Yeah,

230
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: all parts of it. Comprehensive job. So it's a lot,

231
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: but it's fun. Beats working Kelly's rule change it all

232
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: this year from just wide receivers take on more. Yeah,

233
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: so Nick hasn't coached thirst sivers so and I don't

234
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: know it's coaching the receivers this year, but sorry, you

235
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: know Nick's a good coach. Nick's contributes a lot to

236
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: our organization, and I'm sure we'll have a very significant

237
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: role and like he always has, but they'll have, you know,

238
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: as he grows in experience, Um, they don't have more responsibility.

239
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: So that's that's pretty common the way it works. And

240
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: you could fall into that category. Bill, when you give

241
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: your personal endorsement on a candidate like Joe Judge to

242
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: the giants and he gets fired only two years into

243
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: what's supposed to be a long term plan. Do you

244
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: have any kind of reaction to that disappointment that you

245
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: put your name behind that and that person didn't get

246
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: maybe the shot they thought they would. Yeah, it's not

247
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: my decision. I wasn't there, so I don't know regarding

248
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: will talk to the giants about that? I don't regarding

249
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: the lawsuit. Are those alleged text messages accurate as a

250
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: text conversation? You can't comment on it. I was reading

251
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: a recent book by Mike Floro and there was a

252
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: line in there the Robert Craft said, he wants you

253
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: to coach into your mid eighties. What do you think

254
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: about that? Yeah? Yeah, if they ask Mike about that,

255
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, the idea of coaching another fifteen

256
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: years in your mid eighties, slewing forward to this year,

257
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: got a lot to do and not really looking past

258
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: it or behind it, Folks on the present a lot

259
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: to do. Which assistant coach work most with Mac this year?

260
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: Josh and bow Hard agree, are going Yeah, well, obviously

261
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: that's important for all players to get coached well, and

262
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: we plan on doing that. So until the players come

263
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: in and you start coaching them, it's really we'll work

264
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: through that. Joe Judge, maybe, sure, everybody will have a

265
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: role in it. I'll all I'll work with him like

266
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: I have before at Joe quarterbacks. But I know he

267
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: played quarterback at one point in time. But would you

268
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: feel comfortable if he was? Yeah, I feel comfortable. I

269
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: told you that Joe's a good coach. I like having

270
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: on our staff, you'll have a lot of responsibility you

271
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: just mentioned a minute ago, it's a comprehensive job. How

272
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: do you manage your time at this point in time?

273
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: Build again to turn over the front office and on

274
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. How do you make sure that you're

275
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: not spread too thin? I feel like I have a

276
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: lot of good people working with me in the organization. Collectively,

277
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, we do we need to we get done.

278
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: I certainly don't do at all by any stretch. I

279
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: rely on a lot of other good people and they

280
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: do a great job. A very fortunate out of people

281
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: on a staff that we have. What's the key in

282
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: the NFL? Just sustainability? Like this is a very high

283
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: turnover lead coaches, GMS programs. You've been able to kind

284
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: of push through all of that. What do you think

285
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: the key is to building a program that's esteems? You know,

286
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't having a lot of good people, good owner,

287
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: good coaching staff, good players, they're all important, good support system,

288
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: they're all important. Hey man, how are you doing that

289
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: all right? Touch? I don't know how you're hearing all

290
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: these questions. They get acoustics in this place, but I'm

291
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: curious about your thoughts on the overtime rule and specifically

292
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: the one that's got like the two point conversion it's

293
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: being the big change. Yeah, there was some conversation yesterday.

294
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be more, so just kind of listening

295
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: to all the points and get brought out here and

296
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: try to see what the frozen cons are. Are you

297
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: in favor of will any one of those proposals? Yeah,

298
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: I think I stayed in my position on the overtime before.

299
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: It hadn't changed. For those who don't know your position,

300
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: I didn't didn't catch a profession before. But I mean

301
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: this comes up every year, We talk about it every year,

302
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: and my feelings that are same as they've been, so

303
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: they haven't changed. One of the first moves in free

304
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: agency with Devin mccordy resigning, how significant was that decision

305
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: of bringing back to you. Yeah, it's great to have

306
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: Devin back, great to have Matt back. Um play. We're

307
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: able to work things out and those are two fantastic

308
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: people as well as players. They mean a lot through

309
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: the organization. They're great role models and great players, and

310
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: so feel very fortunate to coach two of the best

311
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: at the position that have ever played. UM certainly Matt's layer,

312
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, go out there with in a kicking game

313
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: with you know, Brady on offense and Taylor on defense.

314
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: So feel very very fortunate they've had the opportunity to

315
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: coach those all the players, but let's say those three

316
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: in particular. Along those lines, James White said, once he

317
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: found out you were interested in bringing him back, that

318
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: was it for him. How does that make you feel

319
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: knowing that he helped them? Yeah, look forward to seeing

320
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: James UM and I think he's he's certainly worked hard

321
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: and made a lot of progress. Um. You know when

322
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: when we start the offseason program kind of see where

323
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: things are at that point. And but yeah, great James

324
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: is another again fantastic person and a multiple year captain

325
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: and great work ethic, great role model for UM. You

326
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: know our younger backs, particularly you know Stevenson, Damien, those

327
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: guys you know, j j uh Zebo and so forth.

328
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: So in Montgomery now UM receive or running back whatever

329
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: he is. But so yeah, it's great to have him

330
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: to unretired after Yeah, you'd have talked to Tom about

331
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: all that, UM, but Tom's played a long time. Nothing

332
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: he does surprise to me, but it could be a

333
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: decision on J C. Jackson Well ultimately led you to

334
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: say let them let him test free. And you see

335
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: it's opposed to tag him from one year and tag

336
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: and trade him. Uh yeah we did. We follow him

337
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: his best by the team to uh to get Trent

338
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: brown Back kind of stabilize that side of the other.

339
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: Good day, TRYMP brown Back. We're able to work it

340
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: out play We're able to work it out with all

341
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: the players that were resigned. Just let you see from

342
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: him last year coming back into intar building and getting

343
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: into the starting lineup for it. Well, I mean he

344
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: played well when when he played um that I missed

345
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: half the year. So hopefully hopefully we'll be able to

346
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: get more playtime from this year. But next quality player

347
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: to go back to Matt you mentioned him, you know

348
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: with Brady and Taylor. Just a general question when you

349
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: look at the Hall of Fame and the honors for

350
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: guys who are dedicated special teams players. I know that

351
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: we're off the beaten path. Would that be something that

352
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: you think that maybe the Hall and the voters could

353
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: try and encompass a little bit more. Are those players

354
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: who have whether it's Stephen Hester or Matt Slater the

355
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: Special Team's aspect of the game. Yeah, again, you have

356
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: to talk to the Hall of Fame people about that.

357
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: It's not really you never don't really know enough error.

358
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean I did it that one year and that

359
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: was really for the players who weren't in it. So

360
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 1: the current feeling and voting process not really something I'm

361
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: familiar with. That's something for the Hall of Fame voters

362
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,239
Speaker 1: and Hall of Fame you should talk for them. All right,

363
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: we'll quick Following two. I was wondering, do you monitor

364
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: all the additions around your division, playing them six times

365
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: and teams around you've done some adding and the personnel

366
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: they add. Do you try and respond at all to

367
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: say the speed of Miami that they've added. Well, yeah, eventually, sure,

368
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: but it's not like you go, you gonna get a

369
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: fast guy now you do well, I mean it's like

370
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: it changes day to day. It put change day to day. So, um,

371
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, we have a draft coming up. They'll be

372
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: other players added there. So you know, I think you've

373
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time doing that. Now it's there's

374
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of changes. I'm not really sure.

375
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: I think you're probably better off waiting until the majority

376
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: of the change has been made, and see you can

377
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: kind of get the full picture and then figure out,

378
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, what, if anything, you want to how you

379
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: want to address it. But I mean, obviously where Tyreek Hill,

380
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: But I mean there's you know, there were other things

381
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: that happened down there before they signed Hill. So trading

382
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: for Hill. How important they sent pro day circuit for

383
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: you and how much you does it help? Just seeing

384
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: guys in person and getting it my hands off looking

385
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: at them, I guess, yeah, that's always good. Um, you know,

386
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: it's we have there's a lot of pro days obviously,

387
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: is players all over the place. We have a lot

388
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: of people doing that, and so it's really pulling all

389
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: the information together. I mean I see a fraction of them,

390
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: but you know, when I go to school like Georgia Alabama,

391
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: you can knock out a pretty good chunk of guys

392
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: right there. So those are productive trips. But um, and

393
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: other schools as well. I mean it's the same. But

394
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: that's you know, we have a lot of people doing it,

395
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: and that's you know, it's part of the process. It's

396
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: part of the process. It's not to all of it,

397
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: but it's part of it. Matthew and Devin and James

398
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: and Juwanda is back to you know, all captains have

399
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: been captains. Why is it so important to bring back

400
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: that leadership ability from one year to the next. For you, Oh,

401
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: we bring out the players that we can work things

402
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: out with. You know, takes two people to have an agreement,

403
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: and when we can do that, that's great. It's great

404
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: for the team and the great for hopefully the individual players.

405
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: So that's that's not a one It's not just our decision.

406
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: It's a collective decision between the player and the and

407
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: the team. Other than you know, a franchise tag or

408
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: an RFA designation, I mean, those are different, but all

409
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: the rest of them are their joint decisions. They're not singular.

410
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: But is there something to the leadership quotient that you know,

411
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: that fruit of guys brings to your team that is

412
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: critical in your mind? Yeah, it's it's it definitely important.

413
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: It's part of the value that they have. But you know,

414
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: eventually some of those players aren't going to be there,

415
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: just like some of the great players in the past,

416
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: whether it be you know, Teddy Bruski and Logan Mankins,

417
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: and I mean you're right down the line. You know,

418
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: William mc ginnis and Vince Wolfork and those guys, Grod

419
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: Mayo and those guys all multiple year captains to Troy Brown,

420
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: and there's eventually there's somebody else. So it's great when

421
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: you have them, but I mean, we all know it's

422
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: not gonna last forever, and other leaders need to develop.

423
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: And these guys all stepped in for somebody before them,

424
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: and somebody will step in for them at some point

425
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: in the future. That's just it's the NFL. Do you

426
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: feel like you've a good young core of the guys

427
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: that might step into those kinds of roles moving forward?

428
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: I hope so, yeah, I think macke'll step into those

429
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: roles eventually. Um um, start with that. Joant Bentley. I mean,

430
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: that's I don't think anybody's talking about him three or

431
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: four years ago. That's how it develops. You said the

432
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: day after the Mills lost, Now you need to determine

433
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: if that was a bad day at the office or

434
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: who you were. Where did you ultimately once you be

435
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: alive this season, where did you come down on that? Yeah, again,

436
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: we really spent a lot of time focusing on the

437
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: next season and Um, so that's that's really where most

438
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: of our attention has gone, is trying to put the

439
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: best team on the field we can in twenty twenty two.

440
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: You think we need to you know, we reviewed every

441
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: thing that happened into twenty one season, which we did,

442
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: and but more importantly it's about moving ahead. So some

443
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: of those players that played in that game on both teams,

444
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: a lot of them are backed and some of them

445
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: aren't backed, And there'll be some new players on both sides,

446
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: whether we played them Miami, the Jets, or whoever it

447
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: is again, so I probably think more about twenty two

448
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: than twenty one. Speaking about camera Groan, what can you

449
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: tell us about where us physically? Do you expect him

450
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: to be fully go for training camp and things like

451
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: that offseason, full off season, fully practice or three weeks

452
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: last season? Yeah? I mean you know he's he's ready

453
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: to go full out compete practice for two weeks last season, right,

454
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: but we never sung, so we didn't know if you

455
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: shut him down or what do Yeah, Well, we wouldn't

456
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: have practice him if he wasn't ready to practice. You've

457

473
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,800

00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: how they're when they wanted to do what and all that.
