1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Okay, hope day one. Hopefully we can get off to

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: a good start. Made a long way to go, take

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: a one step at a time, se if we have

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: a good day to day. So what are you hoping

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: to get out of Jamie Collins this second time? I'm

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: hoping the same thing for every player, that they'll go

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: out there or compete and earn whatever role they earned

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: for the team. I can't control it for anybody. Does

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: he seem different all coming back after a couple great? Yeah,

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: jameson great Bill, you have most of the twenty eighteen

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: draft class coming back off of injury. Will the challenge

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: to be of introducing those guys plus so many rookies?

13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: You have a lot of players who don't have an

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: NFL game experience yet. Yeah, put them out there, let

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 1: them compete like they've done all the spring, and see

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: how it goes. So I'm curious. We asked it a

17
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: little bit of yesterday about some of the coaching changes.

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: But as you guys go into this first practice for camp,

19
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: and you've had mini camp practices which this group, but

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: do you guys as a staff have to almost have

21
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: a pre practice or practice in terms of how you're

22
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: going to run things because I know one of the

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: goals is to try to be as efficient as possible

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: at the time. We always do that. Yeah, we always

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: try to planning the practices, go through each drill. Who's

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: gonna how it's gonna be run. Even if we've done

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: it one hundred times before, we still where it's going

28
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: to be set up, and um, what what one side

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: of the ball is going to do or what the

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: other side of the ball is going to do, just

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: so we're prepared for it. So it's just part of

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: a normal preparation, is that in a meeting room somewhere,

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: de anticipate any hiccups when you're actually on the field

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: if you have it, I assume you're not to walk

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: throughs out of the practice field with the staff, but

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh yeah, I mean, I mean we've

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: had however many practices. It was ten in the spring.

38
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: We're doing the same thing today as we did all

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: the springs. So but there's always a few bumps in

40
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: the road in training camp. That's part of training camp.

41
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: We have a lot of people, We're doing a lot

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: of different things, eating, sleeping, staying in a hotel, practices,

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: walk throughs, lifting, So there are things to work out

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: with a large group of people, But overall, I think

45
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: it's run well, and we have a lot of people

46
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: in the organization that work hard on those operational aspects

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: of it, and you know, I think it goes pretty smooth.

48
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: I've been in a lot of training camps, but we overall,

49
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: I think it functions pretty smoothly. It's never perfect, but

50
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: it's it's functional role that you envisioned for Graphs and

51
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: Barrios kind of Steve whatever here, slide receivers seem like

52
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: a likely place for if he earns it. I don't

53
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: know the same for every player. They have to earn

54
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: their whatever role they have on the team they earn,

55
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't tell them what it is. Play rest gotten

56
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: earn it well. Did you have any palms with how

57
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: pursuits this off season? Yeah, I think that's a that's

58
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: all water under the bridge. At least please that back

59
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: for the season. Yeah. I'm looking forward to having a

60
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: good day out there on the practice field today, trying

61
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: to string together throughout the course of camp. That's a

62
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: world here for Is there anything year to year that

63
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: has changed about your approach to going into training camp

64
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: Every year is different. So I just got to try

65
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: the best you can each year to maximize whatever wherever

66
00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: the opportunities are. So every year is different. Fall upon

67
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: Henry's question, do you anticipate Nick having a similar role?

68
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: We always see him, you know, out there on the

69
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: field training camp and he camp. Should we expect a

70
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: similar role for Nick the song? Yeah, um, yeah, Again,

71
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: we have a number of changes that have had a

72
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: number of changes on the staff. Not not everything will

73
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: be exactly the same as it's Ben. It's not that

74
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: way anyway. So you know, I'm sure a lot of

75
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: things will be the same. There may be a few

76
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: differences and difference for all of us. There's differences for me,

77
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: there's differences for other coaches. So certainly a little bit

78
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: of both. Each share is a little bit different. It

79
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: is experience. He's obviously receivers coach for a little bit,

80
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: um maybe help in that kind of Joe Judges is

81
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: taken on the receivers coaching responsibilities as well as special

82
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: team's abilities. But like Nick's experience in that regard helped,

83
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: just as you guys transition, Nick helps in a lot

84
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: of ways. He has a lot of experience. He sure

85
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: he does much more than any other person old person

86
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: in the league does with his added coaching responsibilities and

87
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: interaction with the coaching staff. So yeah, he's a great

88
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: asset in a number of areas. Does he doesn't technically

89
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: count as it general manager by league rules? There was

90
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: some how they have rules about you can interview someone

91
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: if they're technically a GM or if they have executive

92
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: power over roster. Does he have those powers? Whatever the

93
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: rules are, they are, I didn't write them. I don't

94
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: you know. Whatever they are, they are. Titles aren't the

95
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: most important thing in the world around here. It does

96
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: winning is? Does he have executive power over roster decisions?

97
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: Is that's your I have never talked about contracts. I'm

98
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: not going to start talking about him now, So I

99
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: don't know why you would bring it up. There's there's

100
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: no clarification. I'm not talking about contracts period, players, coaches,

101
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: or anybody Else's never have I don't plan to. Well,

102
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: uh Ty laws induction into the Pro Football Hall of

103
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: Fame is coming up, not this weekend, but next weekend.

104
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you could just offer a few

105
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: thoughts about not just his contributions as a Payriote. But

106
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: you know what really kind of underscores the importance and

107
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: the and the worthiness of his selection to the Hall

108
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,559
Speaker 1: of Fame this year. Yeah, I've talked about thy lot

109
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: and tis a great player for us and a great career.

110
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: I coached him as an assistant coach in ninety six

111
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: and as a head coach when I came back in

112
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: two thousand, So I think he's one of the top

113
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: players in his position, certainly as good as anybody EI

114
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: ever coach at that position. I would say, you know,

115
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: in the walls those at the end of Everson's career,

116
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: so it was a little bit different than a Minnifield's

117
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: career in Cleveland too. But but he's a great player,

118
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: had a great impact on our team in our organization.

119
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: I don't think we would have had this success we

120
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: had without him. We would have had success, but you know,

121
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: he was a big part of it, especially because you know,

122
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: you coached him when you were an assistant briefly, and

123
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: then he you know, he had the years to develop

124
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more as you came here as head coach.

125
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: To have a player like him in place with some

126
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: other players that had experience at that time, too. As

127
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: you said, you know, you're not sure whether you'd have

128
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: the same success, but it did. It was helpful, I'm sure,

129
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: to have a player of his stature and to still

130
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: be improving on that upward curves as you came into

131
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: his head. Coach, Yeah, we had a lot of good

132
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: young players here in nineteen ninety six. That was Bruce

133
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: KIE's rookie year. Um and mcguinnis was young, Malloy was young,

134
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: Law was young m McGuinness and then we added to that.

135
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Those guys are still here when I came back. And

136
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: then you know, we added the you know Vrabels and

137
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: Colvin's and Rodney Harrison's and Seymour's and guys like that.

138
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: So I mean looked always good to have good players,

139
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: and he was. He was a very good one. Ty

140
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: was tough, he would tackle, He could play against big receivers,

141
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: and he was physical against guys that you know, that

142
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison's of the world that weren't maybe a little quicker,

143
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: but you know, Ty had great instincts and size and

144
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: playing presence, and he matched up well against those type

145
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: players too, as well as molds and you know, some

146
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: of the big guys. He covered. What are some keys

147
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: to finding your edge within your team? Find, you know,

148
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: making sure they have kind of an edges each year starts,

149
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: especially when they're coming when you need to google. What

150
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: are some of the ways you just find that? Again? Well,

151
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: every year is its own year, so we'll start it

152
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: over again every year, so we don't really worry about

153
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: last year. Do you be unfortunate that mister year? Do

154
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: you think it's obvious by the way you became that

155
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: approach things. I think every years its own year and

156
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: you start from a scratch and you build from the

157
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: bottom up every year, so that's what we're doing. Training

158
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: camp has changed a lot into many years you've been

159
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: in the league. Facilities I would assume nicer now than

160
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: at Brian College when you were there, let's say ninety six,

161
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: but two days in the past. Now you guys just

162
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: have one session. What do you prefer about training camp

163
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: today versus say, twenty years ago? What is harder for

164
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: you as a coach? Game? It's all relative, so we're

165
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: all playing in the same rules. So we just have

166
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: to do the best we can to make take advantage

167
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: of our opportunities and make the most that we can

168
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: out of the opportunities that we get, so coaches, players,

169
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: team are ready with you know, we're all every team

170
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: comes to camp at the same time. Every team has

171
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: the same amount of preseason games and practices and padded

172
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: practices and so forth. I mean, it's all standard. So

173
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: we just have to do the best we can with

174
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: what our opportunities are and that's all we'll try to do.

175
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's what every other team will do. See

176
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: where it turns out in the NFL has some new

177
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: players Safe rules for camp this year that outlaws certain

178
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: drills things maybe designs that protect offensive line two. If

179
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: you think those rules will change a bunch of higher

180
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: drisking about training games, No, I don't think those will

181
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: really affect us and well the drills that we've done,

182
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: but we'll certainly comply with them, and you know, make

183
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: sure that there isn't an issue. But I don't think

184
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: it'll affect us. Along the same lines, Yeah, much discussion

185
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: about whatever wrong about like did you passing experience with

186
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: play uls? Same thing as we always do. We meet

187
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: with the officials in the spring, we'll meet with them

188
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: again in training camp and they're very good. If you

189
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: have any questions or if you have eclips and you

190
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: send with them, they'll tell you how the play would

191
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: be called or ruled. So there's a good line of

192
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: communication there. You know, they've given us a lot of information.

193
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: Sure there'll be questions along the way, but they're always

194
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: good about answering them and getting right back to you.

195
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: And um, you know, so we can get on the

196
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: same page so we can co coach it properly. You know,

197
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: we want to coach the play the right way, and

198
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: in order to do that, we have to understand how

199
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: it's being officiated. So, um, I think you know, there's

200
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: always a good dialogue with them. Ever heard of any

201
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: issues about you know, communication or it may you might

202
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: not like what you hear, but they they're always good

203
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,119
Speaker 1: about telling you what how it is and what they're

204
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: how they see it and how they're going to call it.

205
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes they change that, but then they can tell you

206
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: if there's going to be a change. So, yeah, we

207
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: need to understand the rules. The players need to understand them.

208
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: We need to coach and play technique wise within that framework.

209
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: Now that's been passive grand to play rules and finalize.

210
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: It's curious your thoughts on it and the idea that

211
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: you can challenge penis now ability. Those addition don't really

212
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: matter what I think. It's what the rule is, and

213
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: we'll try to, like I said, and understand it, use it,

214
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: and apply it appropriately. This is a process of coaching

215
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: that play or that rule. I guess, um start now

216
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: or will you wait to see how it will be

217
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: called when officials come from coach based I don't understanding

218
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: the rule, And then when we practice against Detroit and

219
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee and the officials are there at those practices, I'm

220
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: sure they'll will communicate with them and they'll tell us

221
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: what they see. This was a foul, this wasn't a foul,

222
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: This is okay, that wasn't okay. That's that's part of

223
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: what training camps for too, is to take a new

224
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: rule or a new situation like that. Last year it

225
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: was the kickoff rule. Again, it's more than one thing,

226
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: but that was an example last year of the kickoff rule,

227
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: a kickoff situation, of looking through options on that, trying

228
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: to apply them and so forth. So okay, all right,

229
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: thank you,
