Speaker 1: an update. Well, Rich wants to speak, you know, yes,

00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: give him something to talking about. You got your card

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: a quarty climate, non COVID onness, will not practice today.

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: Same same thing for Quintin Bodiana, non COVID don this,

00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: not practice today, thank you, Rich, you will and Greg

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: still on a protocol? What do you do with your

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: special team? A lot of those guys yesterday as some

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: of that holding them out to avoid any sort of

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: outbreak and will that continue today? Will all continue today?

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: It was just being smart yesterday. So, um, everybody was

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: in the meetings. So we're back at it. Would you

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: like about your new kicker that did you just basically

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: win the competition? And yeah, definitely, I was just standing

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: out there going through the camp petitians clearly. Um, you know,

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: I had a good workout and it was very accurate

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: and so it's good to having back. How does it

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: Obviously he's never kicked in a regular season game from

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: a game management stile. Does that change anything for you

22
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: when you have an inexperience. I just think you got

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: to watch watch the week's work, you know. Today you

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: know we have you know, Pat and philbal blocks, so

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: we'll we'll go through our you know sequence there and

26
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: you know I have a chance to observe them all week,

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: so we'll just make it part of our you know,

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: Saturday plan where we kind of set the limits. And

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we're playing indoors, so we have a

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: pretty good idea what our markus Rat has been dealing

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: with his knee a few weeks now getting worse. So

32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: what's this? No, this is an injury Randy suffered in

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: practice yesterday. Um just um, you know we were going

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: to the is in then one on one period and

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: it'll be a multiple week injury tiring. Has it been

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: discussing about possible surgery since it's goingsters or can rest

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: kind of alleviate that problem? Um? As I know Tyrant's

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: making he's making progress, so he's better this week and

39
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: he was last week. So can you talk about your

40
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: rotation now with Gregory who will rotate in on there?

41
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: And just why would you say multiple weeks that their

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: cancel will go on the IR list and come out,

43
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: and that's a possibility. So we'll continue to get the information.

44
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: We got the MRI late last night, so I'm going

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: there's still some discussions that you know, we need to

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: go through. I talk about your dependsive and rotation and

47
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: just tell well, I mean it's I think it's obvious,

48
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, but I get into the

49
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, specifics, so how we're gonna play the game.

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: But you know, I think that you know, obviously Dawrance

51
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: is back, so you know, that'll increase and how we rotate,

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, the third fourth spot. That'll we'll see how

53
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: it shakes out Sunday. What did the M'm sure the

54
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: calf one that it's a calf string when you look

55
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: at RSI, Dack missed one game and Gallop has missed

56
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: whatever number of us probably either one of those two guys. Um,

57
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: first thing, I do you know, I don't think there's

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: a there's not a pattern between you know, the multiple players,

59
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: because I mean we always look at you know, how

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: and where it happened. So um, you know, I you know,

61
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: Michael's was different than Das. I think it's location is similar.

62
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: To Dacks. How badly do you feel for Rainy because

63
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: he's playing it. He's a pretty key player for you absolutely,

64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think it was probably one of our

65
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: best players or cleared to make the argument that, you know,

66
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: probably one of our clearly one of our best players

67
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: on defense. So yeah, it's very disruptive. Um, you know,

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: our our team and our defensive players feet off of

69
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: his you know activity, and yeah, definitely feel I mean,

70
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: he was having a heck of a year. But you

71
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: know he's he was back in there this morning and

72
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, Hill tech to rehab just like he he

73
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: has attacked everything else. It's set in the market's mind

74
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: back into December, Gregory, he has been discussed about maybe

75
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: we need to bring someone else in here and kind

76
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: of help. I mean, right now, I'm focused on the

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: players that are here. So uh, you know, we made

78
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: some adjustments once learning the news, you know, after practice yesterday,

79
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: So we feel good about our plan. We'll just stayed

80
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: the course. First printing, is it you hadn't limited in

81
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: practice trying to be cautious that he gets hurt in practicing? Yeah,

82
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: I just think, I mean, injuries are part of the game.

83
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's it's unfortunate when they happen. It's you know,

84
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: really really they the hard parts more on a personal level.

85
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, we have to you know,

86
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: keep moving and you know we'll get the next player ready,

87
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: and um, just it's you know, it's more about playtime

88
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: and rotation. But you know you always feel terrible for

89
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: the individual and you know, just like we already stayed.

90
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: You know, Randy was having a great year and um,

91
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: you know there's uh, you know how it happened. Just

92
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. You've given up a lot of bigger players.

93
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: I think the most of the league and passing game

94
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: this year twenty five plus plays. Is that, in your

95
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: mind mostly an issue of not getting a pass rush,

96
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: not proper coverage. We're tackling well. I think you can

97
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: go through to different components of it, you know. I

98
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: mean last week, you know, the big place came again

99
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: in the run game. You know that was more. That

100
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: was more um, you know, tackling. I think when looking

101
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: back on the pass explosives, I think particularly you know

102
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: when they happened in the game and how they're happened

103
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: is you got to really pay attention to so Uh,

104
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, offenses are going to play

105
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: us a lot more aggressively because of our offense, and

106
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: that's part of being a complimentary football team. So I mean,

107
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: I think we need to continue to learn from it.

108
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's it's always a combination

109
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: to the two. I don't think it's just clearly coverage

110
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: or pass for us. Does mind you get more looks?

111
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: H in versatility kind of help you in this situation

112
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: with Brandy going down. Game starts at noon Sunday, so

113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: I'll be late. Um, how is that acused to be

114
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: in practice? I'm going back after That's good. I mean

115
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: we're you know, focused on the game plan. You know.

116
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: Obviously I thought he had a good day just going

117
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: back through the practice. Yeah, I mean he's back to

118
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: practice the normal, you know, no limitations, so look good. Yeah, definitely,

119
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: I thought Michael had a good day. So it was

120
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: good to see him get back out there. Just you know,

121
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: it was a couple of routes. They're just timing a

122
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: little quick on the one slant, but you know, I

123
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: think you're gonna have that. But yeah, I thought Michael

124
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: Gallup looked good, Like was he out of the offense.

125
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: Just he played in one game, but how is this

126
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: camp kind of them? Michael Gallup? I think Michael will

127
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: hit his stride, you know. I think it's just you know,

128
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: when you get to Saturday and go through the whole

129
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, week's work, you know, I just think you

130
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: gotta be smart how much you use them, so, you know,

131
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: so we'll see how the rotation goes. And obviously you

132
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: know Amari and you know CD and and said, you know,

133
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we're being smart with Cedric just yesterday.

134
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: So just really how we work out the reps. I

135
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: think it'll be the biggest apartment. I don't envision Michael

136
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: being held back any When you have a player like

137
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: you did with an injury, like you had with Randy,

138
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: after going through one practice in the week, how much

139
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: can you really change your defensive game plan? And how

140
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: how do you go about it when you know you're

141
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: going to need to make some tweaks? What's the process?

142
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's I mean, that's the that's some question.

143
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: That's really what you know, we talked about once we

144
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: got upstairs, you know, yesterday. So you go through all

145
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: the options, you know, probably no different than you know,

146
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: you're you're preparing your questions. So we did that, and

147
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: we're pretty much gonna decided to stay the course and

148
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: just kind of move the playtime around. Your players have

149
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: talked about how effectively Shan find teaching their strengths and

150
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: utilizes Then how does that help in an instance like this,

151
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: and what are some the ways you use No. I

152
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: think Dan does a tremendous job of that. And you know,

153
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: and I think particularly with you know, with an amount

154
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: of depth that we have on defense. So you know,

155
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: we're know, we've been playing a lot of players on

156
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: the defensive side the ball really from the beginning of

157
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: the year. You know, we've had a lot of younger

158
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: players to play early, you know, at of necessity, and

159
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: I think it's been a great experience. But it's you know,

160
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: I think it's just gonna make us stronger as we

161
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: move forward. So Dan does a really good job of,

162
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, finding and identifying everybody's superpower and and playing

163
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: that into the into their role and you know, and

164
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: how the game plans are put together. So I think

165
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: it's clearly a strength of the game planning process that

166
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: that he leaves the charge on in the amount of

167
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: cast rain this year, it seemed like they're popping up

168
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: more than we've seen in the pass off. You look

169
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: at it that way, yeah, I mean, not look at

170
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: all these fatigue injuries the same. I mean, that's that's

171
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: part of where you know, the state program was designed.

172
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the origin of it. Um. You know,

173
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: I was always a head coach of a really young

174
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: football team, pushing the limits of you know, how much

175
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: you can practice them and so forth. So fatigue injuries

176
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: are always at the forefront of my of my thinking.

177
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: So you know how based on you know, the drill.

178
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: You always look at the video so and you see

179
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: how it happened that and is etc. There's there's no

180
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: pattern to all the strains as far as how when

181
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: they're happening. So so he's I look at him as

182
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: more as isolated instances as the season's progressed by what

183
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: are you see from an eye defensively, I tell you,

184
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: I mean, he's uh, you know, you love his motor,

185
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think just you know, the repeated mistake

186
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: is just kind of holding him back. You know, he's

187
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: he's an aggressive player. He's actually done. I think he's

188
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: taking a bigger step on special teams than I would

189
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: say than defensively. You know, I mean the fact that

190
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: we had him on our punt team and it tells

191
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: you where you know when we think of Bradley. So

192
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: he's a young, young, improving player, just you know, just

193
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: has to clean up a little bit of his discipline.

194
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: How unique matchup is Cordero given came into the league

195
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver and a kid returner and he's

196
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: playing running back. You've been forcibly running backs before a

197
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: wide receiverret book at running back in Green Bay? What

198
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: are the any challenges of having that kind of player

199
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: back there? Not knowing what he is? And I mean

200
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: I have tremendous respect and I have to because he's

201
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: been so I've seen him so productive, uh from the

202
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: other sideline for so many years. I mean, I I mean,

203
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: Devin Hester in my lifetime is you know, clearly the

204
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: best returner that that I've ever seen in live action.

205
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: You know, so um, and he's right there. I mean,

206
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: he's I would put him right after me just the

207
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: way he runs with the football. He's so aggressive and

208
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta is doing a tremendous job of moving

209
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 1: them around in more locations than than then you've seen

210
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: him maybe in the past. So uh, he's he's a

211
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: focal point clearly of their offense. You can see that

212
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: with just the number of touches that he gets. But

213
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: he is so dangerous with the football. I mean he's

214
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, he went back and looked at his you know,

215
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: you know some of his next gen stats. I mean

216
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: he's cranking at twenty one mile and I are quite

217
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: often so when he gets ball in his hands, I

218
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: mean he gets in the high gear right right away.

219
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: So you got to tackle him, your low tackle him,

220
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: and the gang tackle him. But an extremely extremely productive player,

221
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: Thank you.
