1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Normal Friday, looking forward to another home game in the

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks with our crowd has been fantastic,

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: really provide a spark for our entire team. And got

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: some work to do today and finish it up here

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: Saturday and get ready to place Sunday after the late

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: Monday night went. Then how much after this have you

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: put this week on? You know, protecting Daniel and really

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: preventing what it's been an extension for the season, the

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: pressure that he's been under. Sure, we do it every week, UM,

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: and we'll try to improve on the things we need

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: to improve on and coach the fundamentals and you know,

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: whether we gotta do different things schematically, we'll well we

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: look into that. UM, work on the techniques for the players,

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: and again it's you work on that. You try to

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: work on everything Jordan's but that's an area that you know,

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: we're always going to focus on, just protecting the quarterback.

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Right at what point did summer whatever it was, did

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: uh Richie James sort of move from being the guy

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: you had and trying to make the team maybe too

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: what he's become as the leading receiver. I don't know

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: if there was an exact time time. I just I

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: think he's been very consistent. It's been out here every day.

23
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: He's a very trustworthy receiver. He's where he's supposed to

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: be when he's supposed to be there. And you know,

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: I think he's earned that confidence, not just from the

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: coaching staff, but from the quarterback as well. Did you

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: see anything from from either Cadarius sort of Leonard working

28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: with the trainers yesterday, didn't think that they might have

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: more to do today, I'd say no, there, he thought

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: it was like putting him in I RC this is

31
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: an injury that within camp and back just to like

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: take the time to fully Yeah, we we haven't. We

33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: haven't talked about that. So and I um, you know,

34
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: he's getting better, he's rehabbing, so hopefully we'll see him

35
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: out here as soon as we can. I know, he

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: just got here. But he's James Nit ready to play game.

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: He's working at it. You know, all those guys we

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: tell the guys that are on the practice squad, you know,

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: it's just an extension of the roster. You have more

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: more players and learn stuff, learn how we do things,

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: and we'll evaluate it on a week to week basis.

42
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: But he's done a good job since he's been her run,

43
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: have you seen. Yeah, he's done a nice job. He

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: took some reps out there yesterday. He's been a good

45
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: addition up to this point. I know you weren't obviously

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: in position to look at a quarterback when you were

47
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, but people always say they study all the

48
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and here's what you call it. To justice, we

49
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: haven't really heard your thoughts on Justine Pibs. Yeah, wehy

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: I have. I recruited Justin down in Georgia. It was

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: a year that he came out with with Trevor and

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: they were both top notch quarterbacks coming out of high school.

53
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: And well, he was an impressive, impressive player when you

54
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: went and watched him, and a chance to meet with

55
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: them when he came up on a visit his family. Um,

56
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for him. I think

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: he's a very talented player, athletic, but he's uh, it's

58
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: a good young quarterback and he has a bright future. Rightly,

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: do you have a relationship with two to you know?

60
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: How hard was it to watch last night? You thought

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: to night? Yeah, I do, and he means a lot

62
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: to me. Special kid, great family and Uh, it was tough,

63
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: he said, because you're in a position to put guys

64
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: in games. Does that make it? Does it give you

65
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: something to think about when he sees what happened the

66
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: week before and then you know just about everything that

67
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: goes into those decisions. Yeah, I think every decision is different.

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: I don't really think about him as players. I know

69
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm a coach, but I try to think him about

70
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: him another not too far off from my kids. So

71
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: anytime a guy gets hurt, you know, I saw it

72
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: and I just prayers for him, his family and people

73
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: around him. Barney, you mentioned about about Jailon and the

74
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: practice squad. That's kind of because the the practice squad

75
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: has become something different over the last couple of years.

76
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: Do you almost when you guys are pitching veterans to

77
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: come to the practice squad, how do you how do

78
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: you handle that him? Because some guys might just say,

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just going to continue to wait

80
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: for an opportunity. I mean, do you sell guys or

81
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: you almost wanting a guy to say I'm willing to

82
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: come for this opportunity. I think every case is different.

83
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: You know, some guys are at different points in their careers. Again,

84
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a unique way now that things

85
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: are handled with the practice squad and the elevations and

86
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: things like that. You know, if there's an opportunity to

87
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: come here and we would like the player to come here,

88
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,559
Speaker 1: we you know, we tell him this is the case,

89
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: it might just be come here and kind of get

90
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: your feet underneath it. We'll see where it goes and

91
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: learn our system. But I think for every player that's

92
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: a different decision that you know, particularly veterans have to make.

93
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, you talk a lot about how important it

94
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: is to say consistent through these levels diversity and lean

95
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: on the people that you have. What are those challenges

96
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: that impede on that ability to be consistent? Is that

97
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: just losses? Is that media? Is that player doubt? And

98
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: how do you kind of attack those head on? I'd

99
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: say what you just said, you're consistent. Um, There's there's

100
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: plenty of ups and downs in this business, and I

101
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: think if you ride a roller coaster as a leader,

102
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't do anybody any good that are either playing, coaching,

103
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: members of the organization. Again, as long as you do

104
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: things throughout the week the way we expect them to

105
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: be done the standard that we want them to be done.

106
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: You can live with with the results. You don't like

107
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: the results, doesn't mean you're happy about a result. But

108
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: I think important part of leadership is consistency and positive

109
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: communication and doing things. You know. Again, we talked about

110
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: this while ago. Whether it's a schedule change, whether it's

111
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: a change in a scheme, you're always looking to improve,

112
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: whether it's a win or a loss, And I think

113
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: what matters most is how you approach it on a

114
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: day to day basis, without riding the wave of things

115
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: didn't go great or things went really well. That's what

116
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 1: That's why I believe leader has to do you reach

117
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: out to or speak to either to it or his

118
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: family members or anything like that. I haven't yet, I will,

119
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: you know. I just right after that. I think it's

120
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: respect him, his family, their space. Ryan. With the loss

121
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: on Monday night, these sense of the players, I don't

122
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: want to say a sense of urgency, but there's some

123
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: anxiousness to get out and show their fans looking to

124
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: turn us around right away. Yeah, we try not to

125
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: think that, Russ. We just try to be consistent. I

126
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: think you have to have a sense of urgency every

127
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: day you come into building, from a coach to a

128
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: player to supports staff. It's a competitive league. You have

129
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: seventeen games and each day is critical to the preparation process.

130
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: And then you go out there and you try to

131
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: coach your best player best But I think the level

132
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: of urgency has to be there regardless of a result.

133
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: And that's what we're trying to preach here deally. As

134
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: when as as you build a program, I would think

135
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: you'd want those waves to be sort of yeah, but

136
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: they won't be they no, I mean you yeah, I

137
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: mean early early on, there's there's I mean again, I've

138
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: been fortunate to be part of some successful teams and

139
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: there was waves, um throughout those seasons, whether that's you

140
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: lose a good player and lose a couple of games

141
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: in a row, and again, we don't we don't ever

142
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: want to do that. Um. That's never the goal. O

143
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: is to go out there prepared, do the things you

144
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: need to do and try to win a football game.

145
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna face those tough times and you

146
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: can either let tough times bring you down or you

147
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: can try to stay consistent, improve on the things you

148
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: can improve on, be positive, and sometimes it's hard to

149
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: be positive, um, and do the things we need to

150
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: do to be better next week. And again, if we're

151
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: out here not doing the things we need to do

152
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: in practice, or coming in late to meetings, not paying attention,

153
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: we're not doing the details that we need to improve on.

154
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,160
