1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: Hey, Joe, how's it going good with Zach? How you doing? Man? 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Pretty good? I was just wondering. You know, you've talked 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: a lot about trying to establish a culture with the giants. 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Now that you come in, I guess how much difficult 5 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: they are you having really getting to do that with 6 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: with the environment that you guys are currently coaching in 7 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 1: via zoom and all that, and how are you What 8 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: way is you trying to build comaraderie. I think a 9 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: lot of things we're trying to build within the culture 10 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: right now are showing up based in the circumstances that 11 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: we have a lot of to us and how hard 12 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: the players are working. And that's what we're looking to build, 13 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: is that, you know, culture of everyone doing whatever it 14 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: takes to be successful. Right now, we're seeing that across 15 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: the board with our players. Were very pleased and how 16 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: they come every day prepared. I'm pleasing how they come 17 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: every day with a lot of urgency, and we're getting 18 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: great feedback communication through the meetings with the players themselves 19 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: as far as building camaraderie with them. You know, probably 20 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: the best part of the day is when you can 21 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: click on the zoom and everyone has their you know, 22 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: screens unmuted and you just hear the guys talking across. 23 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: And that's probably the best part is, you know, it 24 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: took about a week prom and you get comfortable enough 25 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: to do that, and you know, I think they kind 26 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: of realized that, you know, as coaches, we are laughing, 27 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, listen to them talk, and then they got 28 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: a little bit more comfortable and really started breaking it down. 29 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: But it's fun seeing all the personalities really emerge and 30 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: the connections. Today was the first day we had the 31 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: rookies and the meetings with the vets, so you could 32 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: tell right away, you know, a couple of guys also 33 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: new faces, and you heard a couple of others rookies 34 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: in here today, so I'm sure you know they'll be 35 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: asking for a joke by tomorrow. Rocky, you can go 36 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: question Joe, what's gonna happen after after this week is over? 37 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: Do you have a plan I guess for for the 38 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: next phase? And and have there have been any discussions 39 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: I saw a report about teams discussing moving training camps 40 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: out of areas where there might be a stay at 41 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: home restrictions for them. All right, so the first part, 42 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: I mean we definitely have a plan. We're assuming right 43 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: now that we're gonna continue working virtually with the players, 44 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: await for further clarity from the league. You know, we're 45 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: told to plan through eight teens. So that's what we're 46 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: doing right now. In terms of relocating. Our office departments 47 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: doing a great job right now mapping out a lot 48 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: of different scenarios in terms of for some reason we 49 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: have to relocate. Uh, they're you know, making connections around 50 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: you know, the area, around the country as to whatever 51 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: we may need to do. I mean, we're waiting on 52 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: direction from the league in terms of what would make 53 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: decisions on that. Hopefully, in a perfect world, we're all 54 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: back together in New Jersey training sooner than later. But 55 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: we're planning for a lot of hypotheticals to make sure 56 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: that they come up. We're not called by surprise, go ahead, rock, 57 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: Um where where What are some of the options that 58 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: you've considered in terms of moving moving training camp and 59 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: and would you do that in the spring too. I 60 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: don't know that we're gonna necessarily have an option to 61 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: doing the spring unless the league, who gives the thumbs 62 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: up on that. I think right now, just what the 63 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: climate in the country. One thing we have to consider is, 64 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: first off, the safety of our players traveling across the country, 65 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: getting on flights, traveling through cars. There's a lot of 66 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: mandated quarantines that come with that as well. So the 67 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: timeliness factor of getting players, having them travel, the amount 68 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: of time they're quarantined, getting them in the building. Can 69 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: we secure that they're gonna be quarantined along with all 70 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: the staff and coaches that are surrounding them, whether that's 71 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: in our facility or somewhere else. There's a lot of 72 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: logistical things we have to consider. The first thing we 73 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: talked about in all these conversations is are we certain 74 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: the players are gonna remain healthy. We're not putting anybody 75 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: at risk. I'd have a tough time right now ask 76 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: him player to fly across the country from California when 77 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't be the first one most willing to 78 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: throw my two sons on the plane to go the 79 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: other way. So we talked about this, We have to 80 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: consider every the big picture of what's going on. Look, 81 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: I would love to have them in Jersey right now. 82 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: I would love for you know, us that have a 83 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: set up remote campus. If that's what was necessary, but 84 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: getting them to the campus and making sure that while 85 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: we're there they're not expose anything. We have to consider 86 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: that as well. Thanks Je abroad time, Jordan, you can 87 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: go ahead. Angel. How are you doing? Hey, what's gonna 88 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: Jordan's not much. I was just wondering how much have 89 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: you been to installed so far? And everybody wants to know, 90 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: you know, what is your offense gonna look like? Right? 91 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: And I'm curious, how would you describe schematically kind of 92 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: what your offense is gonna look like? Is that something 93 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: Daniel has done before is completely new? You know? I 94 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: think schematically the easiest way to describe it to kind 95 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: of the outside world right now is you know, it's 96 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: gonna be similarly based off what Jason has done in 97 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: Dallas for the last ten or so years, So there's 98 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: gonna be some similarities. Care to that, but it's got 99 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: to cater to our players we have on our roster currently. 100 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: So right now we're installing all the base concepts and 101 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: the shell of the offense. I think really you'll see 102 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: throughout training camps as it takes form with the character 103 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: of our team and as different players emerge, and then 104 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: really along with that you know it's gonna take shape 105 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: throughout the season as well. You know, we're gonna be 106 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: a team that folks a lot on game plans or 107 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: whatever we have to do game by game. That may 108 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: be running the ball, every player throwing ball to play 109 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: based on the opponent. But we're gonna make sure that 110 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: we're not too rigid and what we're doing that we 111 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: can't adapt by game plan. Is there any similarities for 112 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: Daniel in regarding what he did in college? Maybe that 113 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: what you're doing here because they random pro style system 114 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: I believe in due or what they ran last year 115 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: here with the Giants, I won't say it's not the 116 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: true West Coast system. You know. Really, one thing that 117 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: Jason does that's that's really outstanding is it's really his 118 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: system that's been formed over years collectively from where he's 119 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: played and coached on her And those are part of 120 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: the conversations we had when we talked about, you know, 121 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: joining the staff, and we've talked along the way, is 122 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: it's really a collection of what Jason's put together throughout 123 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: his own career. There's gonna be similarities of this, you 124 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: know in some regards to Daniel, and I can't tell 125 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: you concrete wise what that's gonna be. But there's a 126 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: lot of cousin concepts, you would say, in every offense. 127 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 1: You know, when me and Jason talked about the offense, 128 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot of familiarity in the terminology of verbiage 129 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: that he uses that I've heard, you know when I 130 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: worked at all about on their saving and a lot 131 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: of that comes from cross over the offensive coordinators that 132 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 1: they worked alongside in my it together. You know, within 133 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: this league, you really kind of study the head coaches 134 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: and coordinators. You know, you talk a lot about coaching trees, 135 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: but it really comes into the influences that you've worked 136 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: under a plate under and normally, once you work under somebody, 137 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: you develop your own style, but you borrow a lot 138 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: from that person that you just left. Well, that's as 139 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: simple as verbage terminology, you know, philosophies on route, running 140 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: past protections, all those things there. I would say to 141 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: answer your question, there's gonna be some similarities from Daniel, 142 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: but I would not say this to carry over in 143 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: an each way shape or form from his rookie year. 144 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Jem Lombardo problem, Hey, Joe Hope, you guys 145 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: are doing well here, you said to you man, Thanks, Hey, 146 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: I'm curious. There's been a lot of talk about how 147 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: first year coaches might be a bit of a disadvantage 148 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: with the way this whole process is playing out and 149 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: not being able to get in the building and having 150 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: to rely on zoom. But as a guy's never been 151 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: a head coach before, is there anything about this that's 152 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: advantageous to what you're trying to do and what you're 153 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: trying to build? You know, I think the advantage goes 154 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: to who's most prepared from this point forward, and that's 155 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: what we've been working on, doing a focus on what 156 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: we can control. Our I T department, along with our 157 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: coaching set, did a great job was setting up you know, 158 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: the use of computers, Our players doing a great job 159 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: of accessing all the information and working with us. You know, 160 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: in a lot of time. Um, we've got a lot 161 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: of guys are showing a lot of urgency to do 162 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: everything they can to get themselves with a head start 163 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: heading in the training camp. And that's really what the 164 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: springs about. You know, is it more difficult not knowing 165 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: what training camp is gonna look like because obviously you're 166 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: coming in trying to set a foundation, build a culture 167 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: and kind of you know, gave your mark on on 168 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: the team in all aspects, but not knowing what the 169 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: future holds. What's that what's that like as a coach 170 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: and what's that like for these players. I've mapped out 171 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: training camp based on the calendar leading up to our 172 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: opening game right now, and Andy Justin's we have to 173 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: make based on that will make accordingly and that's my 174 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: job to be prepared and have contingency plans for the 175 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: team to operate. We've talked through different scenarios, but right 176 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: now we're mapping out training camp, you know, assuming that 177 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: we open up on September four teens. The Steelers are 178 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: looking forward to that. Thanks, sure you can go ahead 179 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: with your question. Hey, Joe Hope Paul as well, Um, hey, 180 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: you you mentioned earlier on another day that you know 181 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: it's imperative for these players to start forming bonds and 182 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: some of that has to doing themselves. How about you 183 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: with the players, I mean, the head coach has to 184 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: bond with the players. Is that more difficult now? And 185 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: is there anything that you can share anything you know 186 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: more about certain of your players? You know a good 187 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: example of one or two of those that you didn't 188 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: know just from you know, the laptop and remote and 189 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: things like that. Something that you know now that you 190 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: did not know. We'll tell you what we We found 191 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: different ways throughout the meeting times to work together, and 192 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: I found time to grab certain players out of meetings. 193 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: And I'm working my way through the team as we 194 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: go throughout the rest of the spring and making sure 195 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: I get FaceTime at each one of these guys. You know, 196 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: leading up to this, I spent some time talking to 197 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: these guys on the phone, really just checking on them 198 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: and their family. I had the opportunity to meet a 199 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: lot of these guys in perse more. We're still in 200 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: the building, they were still around working out, you know. 201 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: I'd say one of the interesting things about this whole 202 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: process is just like we're doing right now, is as 203 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: somebody else is speaking, really everybody has the freedom to 204 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: look around right now and really observe how people are. 205 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: So when there's an assistant coach presenting, everybody in there 206 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: is also presenting themselves and how they conduct themselves in 207 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: a meeting. You know, you're looking around, how's the guy 208 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: set up in this house? Is it a quiet setting? 209 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: How's he dressed? What's his I focused? Like, are his 210 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: eyes down as he trying to text? And we haven't 211 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: had a lot of that. We've had a lot of 212 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: guys with great urgency. But you know, you have the 213 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: opportunity in this setting here to really see your players 214 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: in a meeting standpoint where they really can't hide. Right now, 215 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: we're on a one by one box on the screen, 216 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: but we're all face to face and you don't know 217 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: who's looking at who at this time. So everything you're 218 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: doing at all times is really you know, what you're 219 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: being evaluated on? Are you taking notes on some of 220 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: that is you're going through? I mean you're sitting there 221 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: wearing a hooded sweatshirt, right, so I'm sure you don't 222 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: expect your players to be wearing you know, button downs 223 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: for this, right what I mean? So, so how does 224 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: that evaluation work? I mean, you know, just how much 225 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: is too much? Well? First off, it's my best hoodie, 226 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: So I thought I was getting dressed off the occasion. Paul, Thanks, 227 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: what let me see what's what do you got? Is 228 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: it the logo or anything or not? Just just just 229 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: a little throw around hoodie. But I'll say this, Um, 230 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: run that by one more time, Paul, phrase it again 231 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: so I can follow it. Well, just I mean, you know, 232 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: obviously you're looking and you're not spying on them. Maybe 233 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: one knows, you know, you know everyone on this is 234 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: also it's open. So I've made this clear to our players. 235 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: You know, everybody is always making an impression. I can't 236 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: sign on with the team and stumble through a team 237 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: talk and show shoddy film and have you know, technology 238 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: doesn't work and have them think Okay, this guy's gonna 239 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: be okay, he knows what he's doing. We're always creating 240 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: an impression. We're always you know, form an opinion of ourselves. 241 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: But along that, let's not get confused. We're not going 242 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: to evaluate a football team based purely on how they 243 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: are on a computer. I mean, we can go down 244 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: a circuit city if and a great football team and 245 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: a computer, but you know, we want to make sure 246 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: right now that look, we're just trying to give the 247 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: players an opportunity to learn our material, to learn our systems, 248 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: to get a head start going to training camp. We're 249 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: trying to be as much of resources for these guys 250 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: we possibly can. You know, we only get two hours 251 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: day with the vets, but we get two hours day 252 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: with the vets. We got to use those two hours 253 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: as much as we can. And you know, along the way, 254 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: we've used everything the leagues allow us to use in 255 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: terms of loading up playbooks and cut ups and voice 256 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: to have re installs for the players to watch at 257 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: their own pace, on their own so we're trying to 258 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: get ahead of everything that they may need. Look, until 259 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: we get on the grass, you really can't evaluate a 260 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: football player. You just can't do it. And I've made 261 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: it clear to our team. You know, this spring is 262 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: about learning. This spring is about building a base. So 263 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: when we get there in training camp, we can play 264 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: fast and we can play aggressive. You'll be evaluated in 265 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: training camp right now. We're learning. Now along the way, 266 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: you are making an impression. Thank you. Are you can 267 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: go ahead with your question, Hey Joe, what's going on? 268 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: How are you? Hey? Are good? Doing all right? Thank you? Um, 269 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: I'm just curious along the lines of I mean, I 270 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: know we've talked about the coaches and the players and 271 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: being in this system virtually, but from your perspective, player 272 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: to player, and I know the rookies just mixed in 273 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: with the veterans now, But if you were in the 274 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: building and circumstances where the traditional format you would see 275 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: leaders emerge, guys kind of looking at the veterans or 276 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: even looking at some rookies, who's kind of set the tone. 277 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: I'm curious from your perspective, if not now, maybe in 278 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, in days to come, will you take it 279 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: upon yourself to reach out to some guys and say, 280 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: you know, okay, are you guys getting together? Are you 281 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's not just playing video games, it's you 282 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: want to see who emerges as like the leaders of 283 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: this team or is it too early? You say? The 284 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: interesting thing is early on in this pro says, I 285 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: think we all had a lot of question marks in 286 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: terms of how are we going to see relationships and 287 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: how we're gonna see the leadership and how we're gonna 288 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: see us emerge. You know, naturally, it all is coming 289 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: to the surface. You can see a lot of guys 290 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: from interactions and meetings. You can see who's gonna take 291 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: the reins and start the communication. You know, you can 292 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,599 Speaker 1: identify with different players who's standing out in front and 293 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: organizing some extra communication exercises on their own within the time. 294 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: So I'd say you still have the ability to see 295 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: who's stepping out in front. You know. One thing is, 296 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: as I'm talking these players individually and asking them for 297 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: direct feedback as well, you can tell how engaged and 298 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: really invested they are in the program by the answers 299 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: they give you and it it's been very telling and 300 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: I'm very pleased with the where players are working right now, 301 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: you know. Whereas on the front end there was a 302 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: lot of talk about what we can't do, I think 303 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: we're finding out along where right now is like we 304 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: always need to is we're getting a lot done because 305 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: this is the asset that we have to use or 306 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: finding ways to use it. And these players, look, they're inventive. Now, 307 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: they're inventive. I mean it's they're gonna find different ways 308 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: to get together with each other and socially interact. They're 309 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: gonna find different ways to get together and study with 310 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: each other and get caught up on material or help 311 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: each other out with notes. You know, maybe even more 312 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: so now than some other springs in the past, because 313 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: the reality is everyone's situation is different around the country, 314 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, and you've got to find you know, what 315 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: to do in your free time. Things still aren't open 316 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: up everywhere. Every state's a little bit different, but generally speaking, 317 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, the country is still closed down for the 318 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: most parts. So these guys are in areas where they 319 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: have a lot of free time on their day, where 320 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: there's not a lot to do necessarily. Thanks Bob, you 321 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: go ahead with your question. Hey, Joe, thanks for doing this. Um, 322 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: I know you're you accepted the limitations that you have 323 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: in this situation. But all things considered, um, do you 324 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: do you think that you, as a first time coach, 325 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: first year coach, for lack of a better expression, should 326 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: get a pass this year the East on the inability 327 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: to kind of be normal probably for the entire season. 328 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: All focuses on doing is everything put our team in 329 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: position to play their best ball right now, I'm not 330 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: thinking about anything outside the scope of that. Whatever we 331 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: have to work with, we're gonna make work for us. 332 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna get in the training camp and 333 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna go ahead and make sure we get these 334 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: guys in the grass and put them through it, identify 335 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: the best fifty three for our team and then the 336 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: best you know, actors for game day and go forward 337 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: with it. So We're not thinking about what we don't 338 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: have right now. That's not an option we think about. 339 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: We have access to and every day we're focusing with 340 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: you to get better and that's my only focus right now. 341 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: Thank you, Doug. You can go ahead with your question, Hey, 342 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: Joe Hopball as well. Um, just Juous going to the 343 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: decision to claim Cooper Rush. You know, like everyone else 344 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: in the league, we're looking at the waiver wire every day. 345 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: We're always trying to acquire good football players for our team. 346 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: You know, the competition and training camp will short a 347 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: lot of things out. Um, but we see a good 348 00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: player out there, if we think he's something to be 349 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: an I set to our team and come in here 350 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: and compete. That's all we're considering. And he was someone 351 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: that came across the waiver wire that you know, we 352 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: had known about and some had experienced with them and 353 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: we thought they could positive move for our team. And 354 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: then five quarterbacks obviously a lot. Is the roster construction 355 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: a little different now because you don't have to get 356 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: on the field and have to say a certain minimum 357 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: a different positions. Can you alter how you constructor right now? Well, 358 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: you definitely can. You could have ninety quarterbacks right now, 359 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: because you don't have to worry about throwing to anybody. Um. 360 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: But in terms of going into camp right now, we'll 361 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: address that when we get closer to camp. In terms 362 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: of all the position, we obviously obviously have a temple 363 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: like everybody else has of the desired numbers reached position. 364 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: But I think the overriding factor is you don't want 365 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: to turn away a good player just to suit the numbers, 366 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: so you kind of work structure practice accordingly to make 367 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: sure he's many good players in your roster as possible compete. Ralph, 368 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: you can go ahead with your question. H Joe, thanks 369 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: for doing this, so we're doing well. Um. You mentioned 370 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: earlier that you know you've got to play in different 371 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,239 Speaker 1: areas of the country, some places where things are reopening. Um. 372 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: You know some players could go to beaches or gyms 373 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: and others can't. UM. I'm sure you've got your own 374 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: thoughts on what's safe and what's not. But are you 375 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 1: able to give them any guidelines or restrictions on what 376 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: they should and shouldn't do? And how worried are you 377 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: that you know doing something normal like going to a 378 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: gym could end up hurting the health of one of 379 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: your players. Yeah, I think everyone has to make the 380 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: decisions based on, you know, their own circumstances where they're at. Um. 381 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: We're concerned about the health of all of our players though, 382 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, and that we have a training staff with 383 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: Ronnie Barnes and his guys that they have full time 384 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: access to for god and some whether or not they 385 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: should go somewhere, shouldn't go somewhere. Everyone's situation is different 386 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: than one. Thing the league has allowed us to do 387 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: is provide some equipment to guys without access to gyms, 388 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: which we've done. Accordingly, we've made the decision not to 389 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: track workouts, as a lot of other clubs have as 390 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: well this spring for a multitude of reasons. So the 391 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: biggest thing we've been able to do is just kind 392 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: of provide our strength coach to be an asset that 393 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: if they want to reach out and ask him questions 394 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: along with our nutritious and training staff. The leagues allowed 395 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: us to upload programs and videos for him to follow 396 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: if they choose to. Obviously it's a spring, it's voluntary, 397 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: nothing is required. Uh. We just want to make sure 398 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: we have any answers to questions The players may have 399 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: as we go. Uh, the biggest concern for me is 400 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: without having a spring is making sure that the players 401 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: are in good enough shape coming back to practice. And 402 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: that's the one thing spring is heavily beneficial for for 403 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: these players is they can play football and do football 404 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: movements and getting football shape before coming in and competing 405 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: for a job while playing football, and as a coach, 406 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: I've got to put us in the best situation possible 407 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: to practice hard, to compete and to avoid injuries at 408 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: the same time, early in training camp, and the new 409 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: cb A laid out a lot of guidelines that's really 410 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: geared towards, you know, looking at for the players early 411 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: on in training camp to make sure they don't come 412 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: in and get thrown, you know, into the fire without 413 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: an acclimation period. So I think that's something working through 414 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: the c b A that will help won't turn with 415 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: these guys, but immediately this year without having a spring, 416 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: you know, the biggest thing we can just keep emphasize 417 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: on our players is listen, whatever you have to do, 418 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: whatever you have access to, where all the resources you need. 419 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: But let's just make sure that when we come into 420 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: training camp, you know you've given yourself every opportunity possible 421 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: to be in the best shape so you can physically 422 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: stay healthy, stay on the field and compete. Patty, you 423 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,719 Speaker 1: can go ahead with your question. Thank you, coach. How 424 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: are you doing? Thanks for doing this? Hey, Patty, I 425 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: don't today. I'm doing well. Thank you. You spoke earlier 426 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: about the type of offensive system that you're installed. Can 427 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: you talk a little bit about the defensive system that 428 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: Patrick Graham is putting together? Yeah? Sure, so, I mean 429 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: I could give you the whole It's going to be 430 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,479 Speaker 1: a multiple answer and everyone says, you know, what's that mean? 431 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: Probably the easiest way to describe that is you can 432 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: go back to last year Miami or Patrick was. You 433 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: could follow that through the different systems he's been part of, 434 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: whether it's New England, he had experience in you know, 435 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: New York and Green Based. There's a lot of different 436 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: flavors of defenses there as well. Um, but truly will 437 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: be you know, a team that's will be multiple by 438 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: game plan how we have to match up to attack 439 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: the opponent. But the elements of the defense, you can 440 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: really look through what it will closely resemble or really 441 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: be the other stops that Patrick has been along this 442 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: way that I've been there as well. The New England system, UM, 443 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: some of the Houston system, the Tennessee system, the Miami system. 444 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: Those families of defense, you know, will be the biggest 445 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: influences that will go in ours. Of course, ours will 446 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: be mostly dictated by the players we have to use 447 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: and it and in terms of special teams, obviously, Tommy 448 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: Thomas mcgahey, UM, outstanding special teams coach. I'm just wondering 449 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: how much of your influence from the Patriots are you 450 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: going to maybe bring to the Giants special teams. I'll 451 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: be involved with all three sides of evolve, but Team 452 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: MAC is a special teams coordinator here. Thank you, Bruce, 453 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,719 Speaker 1: you can go ahead with your question. Hey, Joe, how 454 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: are you? Bruce has gone good? There's uh there's an 455 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: Aliae quote about preparation. The fight is what are lost 456 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: far away from witnesses, behind the lines in the gym 457 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: and out there on the road, long before I dance 458 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,959 Speaker 1: under those lights. So you were talking earlier about preparation. 459 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: Is your message to your guys that those substitutes for 460 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: grinding now that this hard work honestly can can pay 461 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: off later. Yeah, Look, there's no shortcut to success, and 462 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: you've gotta put one day all right with the next 463 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: to keep putting together, and that's going to string together 464 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 1: and give you an opportunity to be successful. It's all 465 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: about preparation. We have to do a good job preparing, 466 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: preparing physically, prepara mentally. Yeah, that's truly our message of 467 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: the team right now is we're providing with the opportunity. 468 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: We're want to be a resource for the players at 469 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: this point to give them every opportunity they can to 470 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 1: learn our systems so that they get in we can 471 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: continue to learn, but it's gonna get a faster pace 472 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: in training camp, obviously, and that's where the competition will begins. 473 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: Thanks coach, Right, you can go ahead with your question, 474 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: and Jeff, I put on this collar chair to make 475 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: a good first impression, but I gotta go after Bruce 476 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: and a shirt and tie. So, uh, two questions bringing 477 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: to fellow off on what Patty said about Patrick Graham, 478 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: Could you just talk a little bit about how you 479 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 1: got him. I don't think we've ever asked that. He 480 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: obviously he was under contract with Miami, you know, Brian Florence. 481 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: How did that come about? You know, without going too 482 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: much into you know, different conversations. I mean, we just 483 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: followed the lead procedure. If we put in a request 484 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 1: to speak with him, they granted the request and and 485 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: he was our top choice. And then another defensive question, 486 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: Marcus Golden, you guys used that tag on him? How 487 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: did that come about? I think the Patriots are one 488 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: of the only teams to use that in recent years. 489 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: When you were there, how did that come about? And 490 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: have you talked to Marcus since you guys put the 491 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: tag on him? Without going into what we talked about, Yes, 492 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,719 Speaker 1: I have spoken Marcus Um. Look, I have a lot 493 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: of respect for him as a player. He's a he's 494 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: a great person. He's a hard worker, but he's a 495 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: productive player. So we have a lot of respect form 496 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: and he's definitely somebody that we've spoke to Um, you 497 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: know in terms of, you know, possibility of adding to 498 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: the roster. We placed the tag on them. That's something 499 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: that's a lot of us through the legal rules, and 500 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: we thought it was a situation when it came up 501 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: and was available for us, that's something that we could use. 502 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: But you know, we have an interest in Marcus. We've 503 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: talked to them, and we're going through the procedure right 504 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: now and we're gonna let it kind of play out 505 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: a little bit and see where everything shakes out. Thanks you. 506 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: We'll take two more questions, Pat Leonard and Tom Kennerman. Uh, Pat, 507 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: you can go ahead with your question. Thanks, yeah, And 508 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: hey Joe, how are you doing? Hey? Pat? Um? Yeah? 509 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: Two questions. One, are you preparing your players to play 510 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: in front of an empty stadium in front of no fans? 511 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: And if you have to do that, how do you 512 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: prepare guys to do that have the same energy, et cetera. Also, 513 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: just curious from your perspective, what do you think the 514 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: NFL should do? You know, do you think it's more 515 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: important that we wait and start a season later so 516 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: that everything can be normal or as a coach, is 517 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: it just you wait and you wait for the ready, 518 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: set go or not. I'm, you know, curious what you feel. 519 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,719 Speaker 1: I mean, as far as our approach to leg will 520 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: make those decisions. I think the one thing the league's 521 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: you know, being very considered about right now is everybody's safety, players, fans, everybody. 522 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone wants to play in front of 523 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: empty stadiums. The fans are really, you know, huge part 524 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: of this game. You know, playing in front of stadiums, 525 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: that's where a lot of you know, the juice and 526 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: energy comes to a weekly basis um. But we don't 527 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 1: have fans of practice, so we prepare them every day 528 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: to play in front of you know, without people watching. 529 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: You know, these guys have to go out. They'll be 530 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: prepared for whatever the situation is, you know. But truly 531 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: we want the fans there. I mean, it would be 532 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: a different atmosphere. You know. We prepare for whatever, but 533 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: the fans are a huge part of this game and 534 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: we definitely want them there. Thanks Canada, You can go 535 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: ahead with your question and this will be the last question. Joe, 536 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: how are you doing good? To good? Um? Just too 537 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: quick questions. When you talk about following up on Tom 538 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: Rock's question about possibly having training camp someplace else, would 539 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: you consider it being driving distance around around New Jersey. 540 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: I mean, to be honest with you, if we can't 541 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: practice in the facility, I would just like it to 542 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: be the best set up possible, you know, And there's 543 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: a lot of factors that go into that in terms 544 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 1: of field space, training room, weight room, food for the players, room, 545 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: and accommodations. You know, these guys have off days in 546 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: training camp as well. One of the advantage of having 547 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: it at our facility is these guys have a chance 548 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: to go home and see their wives and kids as 549 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: well on the off days, which look, that's a big 550 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: part of it, you know, it's a big part of 551 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: it also as well as we are training camp practices 552 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: are open. It's important to me that the players get 553 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: to go out there and walk off the field and 554 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: see their watching kids or girlfriends on the way off 555 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: the field and spend ten minutes of kind of you know, 556 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: you know, keeping things perspective for we go in there 557 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: and over analyze everything that we did on the field. Um, 558 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of where we go, you know, 559 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: hopefully we're in the facility and that's really what we're 560 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: pushing for. If the league determined something else, you know, 561 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: office departments in the middle of you know, kind of 562 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: just having that organized case we have to go that way, 563 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what's available. And you know, I 564 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: can't really answer that as a hard question. Is a 565 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: little more of a hypothetical there, you know, but I'd 566 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: rather be in the facility than anywhere else. The final 567 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: question is where'd you get the haircut. I got some clippers, 568 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: and uh, I kind of experiment a little bit on 569 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: my back deck, so it took a little while, as 570 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: longer than a normal haircut, but to be honest, we 571 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: kind of had that quarantine hair falling over my ears 572 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: for a little bit. My wife cut my youngest son's hair. 573 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: Looks like you got a fight with a broken bottle, 574 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: so I kind of did my own a little bit. 575 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, thank
