1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: Coach. Good morning, Hey greg An. You doing how you doing? Night?

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: Sounds it going? Yeah, sure, night, but we're we're up

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: and rolling. Yeah, I mean what do you sleep in

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: the office? Like, what are you doing to night? Like

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: last night? When you get back, you get it. You

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: get it wherever you can football season, So you know

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: we have quite a few take quite a few away trips.

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, you get it when you can. You just

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: you keep rolling. UM. I know you've been asked us

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: a good forty year fifty times, but I'm gonna ask

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: it anyway. Can can we read anything into the fact

12
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: that that Cam Newton started all three of these preseason games?

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: And are you leaning toward Cam as the as the

14
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: starter week one? How do you make that decision? Bill? Yeah?

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 1: We um, we have a lot of decisions to make,

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: and so we have a time term we have to

17
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: make them on. So we'll you'll work through the process

18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: here like we usually do. So I just got back,

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: just got a you know, wealth the red group here

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: as a staff and figure out what, yeah, what the

21
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: best decisions for the team are on a lot of

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: areas and do the best we can. UM. I think

23
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: sometimes when we talk about you some say, you know

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: Bill is reluctant to start a rookie. Is that when

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: it comes to experience? How important is that to you

26
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: when you make a decision like this or any other position. Yeah? Again,

27
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: it's um, you know, every decisions is different. There are

28
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: a lot of factors that go into each each decisions.

29
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: So can just try to you know, take them all

30
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: into consideration and do the best thing for the team.

31
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: And that's there are a lot of different a lot

32
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: of different angles to look at, and so I just

33
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: try to do that they can. But we talk about

34
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: this season being different, you know, and I think one

35
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: of the big things that sticks out for me as

36
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: a former players not having that fourth preseason game and

37
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: for guys like myself whore undrafted or young players or

38
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: even some veteran players using that game to kind of

39
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: maybe show one more time that you know, they deserve

40
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: a spot on the football team. What was the message

41
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: like for players knowing that you were only going to

42
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: have three preseason games and your opportunity for that fourth

43
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: one would not be there. What was your kind of

44
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: message to some of those guys that might have used

45
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: that game to make a roster spot to control or

46
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: we can control. Um, you know, we don't set the schedule.

47
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: You know, you know control some things. But the things

48
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: that we do control, which is our preparation and our

49
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: performance on our effort, those are things you have to

50
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: concentrate on. So some players, as you know, in training, camping,

51
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: and some players and get banged up, they don't get

52
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: as many opportunities as somebody else who doesn't get me

53
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: and I could bang up or doesn't miss time. You know,

54
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: we each have to take advantage of the opportunities we

55
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: get and trying to make the most of them. So

56
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: that's that's really the same for all of us. Bill

57
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: going off what Wiggy just asked about not having that

58
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: fourth preseason game, I felt like a lot of eyes

59
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: were on you on how you were going to handle

60
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: just having three. I know you haven't made a decision

61
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: for week one, but when it look when you look

62
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: at Mac and Cam, what's the thought process like going

63
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: into that third preseason on who will get the start,

64
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: who will get more snaps, and so on and so

65
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: forth for any player really well, not specific to any

66
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: player or any position, or that's just in general terms.

67
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: You know, players that have played more, uh, you know

68
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: you want to give fewer reps to them and more

69
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: reps to guys that are that needs the experience. Um.

70
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: If it's a competitive situation, it's the more more defined

71
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: it is, the more clear cut it is. You know

72
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: how the how, the rankings, If you will are going

73
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: to go, then you know at some point you want

74
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: to give more time to the players who you know

75
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: are going to play. But you know a competitive situation,

76
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: you want to try to you know, create all equal opportunities.

77
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: And and again that's a combination of games and practices. UM.

78
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: So you know, really it's it's pretty much the same

79
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: at every position. When you look at Mac, I know

80
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: that you and Nick Sayman have a good working relationship.

81
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure you talk to him before taking Mac. What's

82
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: been the truest thing you've learned, uh, since coaching him?

83
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: Based off what Saban had told you prior? Well, thank yeah,

84
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: Maxim in here and worked already's putting in a lot

85
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: of hard work every day. And I think that's that's

86
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: paid off and it's and it showed up, um in

87
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: the things he's been able to improve on. So he's

88
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: he makes a mistake and he learns from it and

89
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: works hard at it and or it works hard in

90
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: the first place, so it doesn't make mistakes that you know,

91
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: maybe he gets it right the first time, which is

92
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: sometimes hard, but at that position, but it's work ethics

93
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: very good. But one of the things that I think

94
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: we all talked about this offseason was, you know, what

95
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: you were able to do in free agency about bringing

96
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: in a lot of players. One guy that's kind of

97
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: really stood out, you know, in the first couple of

98
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, weeks of the training camp in preseason has

99
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: been Matt jude On and what his kind of looks like.

100
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: He has pretty good versatility and things that he can do.

101
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: What has he meant as well as some of these

102
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: other players that you brought in from free agency? I

103
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: know John wald Smith had to catch a couple of

104
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: weeks ago. What are guys like that meant to not

105
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: just the team, the defense, but just their leadership and

106
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: what they bring to the local. Yeah, I think Matthie's

107
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: done a good job for us in terms of, um,

108
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, come in and plan multiple positions and uh,

109
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, given leadership and helped to some of the

110
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: younger players in his position. Is a very smart, instinctive

111
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: player that, um you can really see his his um

112
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: savvy and just playing experience. We know when he steps

113
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: on the field and just has a real good feel

114
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: for you know, how to play, and he's a good player,

115
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: and so when you fall out together, you know that's

116
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: a good combination. M But you know, at the same time,

117
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: he's worked in well with the team. Um. You know,

118
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: we have other other good players, other good leaders, and

119
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: other DoD communicators on the team as well, and so

120
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: they think he's done a good job of you know,

121
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: fitting in up and you know, finding the kind of

122
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: the right time, the right spot, and you know, how

123
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: to work with his teammates, and they've done the same

124
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: with him. So I think we're making progress. It's still

125
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: a long way to go, but we're getting there. Bill,

126
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: I think a lot of media members we're hoping to

127
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: talk to Cam after the game yesterday or since he's

128
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: been back from his time away. Have you been able

129
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: to talk to him and kind of give him support

130
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: on you know, maybe we don't need to be privy

131
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: to everything going on in everybody's life. I mean, according

132
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: him at Rosher understand that have I talked to Cam yes, Um,

133
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: and then well, just I feel like media members want

134
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: to be privy to everything in athletes life. I don't

135
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: agree with that. I was wondering if you give your

136
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: player support when they don't you know, necessarily want to

137
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: tell media everything that's going on with them. Yeah, well,

138
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: these players a relationship with the media is unique and

139
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: we all have that. So that's really you know, personal thing.

140
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: But um, look, it's a we all know that this

141
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: time of years is stressful for players and coaches in

142
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, there's can be probably a worth

143
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: a thousand transactions here in the next couple of days,

144
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: um that will come you know, come through the league,

145
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: and that that affects a lot of people and a

146
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: lot of families, and um there's a lot of relationships

147
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: that are intertwined in those decisions and the ramifications of them.

148
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: So you know, we all have to you know, we

149
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: all have to work through that. It's part of the

150
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: part of the process. We all knew that when we

151
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: signed up for it. And you know, I think everybody

152
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: just has to support you know, we try to support

153
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: each other, but at the same time, everybody has to

154
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, find their own you know way to um,

155
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: you know, handle whatever is they have to handle. It

156
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: it's personally or you know, as part of you know

157
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: somebody else. And you know, we have a lot of

158
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: players who have families and relatives and loved ones. Um.

159
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: You know that we're dealing with the hurricane and we're

160
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: a long way away from that. So not that has

161
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: any do a football, but it's an important part of

162
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: the lots of many people on our team. UM, probably

163
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: all people really, I'm sure everybody knows somebody that's affected,

164
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: or like I said, players on our team who have

165
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: families who are affected and we'll close to them. So

166
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of there's a lot of support,

167
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: um at this time of year. Um, you know, just

168
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: all the way around. Some of it relates football, some

169
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: of it doesn't. Put I think that's what brings teams

170
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: and people together to support each other. So I think

171
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: we have a good level of that. That's hopefully we'll

172
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: continue too. So what can you give us in the

173
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: form of an update on the Gilmore situation? And is

174
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: there enough time for him to be ready for week one? Um,

175
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: we'll just keep working through it every day. UM. You

176
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: know we've spent here, you know, stayed here the last

177
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: two days and you just continue to work hard on

178
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: his rehable check into and see how that's going. See

179
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: are a kind of progress are making, then go from there.

180
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: I'd say it's really you know, pretty much for them,

181
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: like everything was followed day by day and see how

182
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: it goes and you know, based on the results of

183
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: yesterday and how things are today and the general plan

184
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: that we have, then we either follow that plan or

185
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: modified a little bit based on the most recent information.

186
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: So it's really same for all you know, all players

187
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: that are in that in that category. And when guys

188
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: and it was I've got broken bone or something like that,

189
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: where it's pretty easy to determine how long it would

190
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: take for that to heal, and when it's some different

191
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: type of injuries than that, we just have to figure

192
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: it out and let's see how it goes. Bo you

193
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: talked about getting with the staff knowing that this is

194
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: the kind of final day for being able to make

195
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: decisions on rosters and and putting together the depth of

196
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: where you want to have each position with guys being

197
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: excuse me, vaccinated versus unvaccinated, and knowing that the protocols

198
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: are different for those players. Do you guys look at

199
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: that going into preparing for depth knowing that, Okay, we

200
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: might lose a guy similar to what happened with Cam

201
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: Newton this past week, we might lose a guy like

202
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: that during the regular season, So maybe we got to

203
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: carry an extra player because these two players are unvaccinated.

204
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: Is that Is that something that you guys have to

205
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: think about now this season when you're putting together your

206
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: final roster and making cuts. Well, I think if you

207
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: look at you know, what's happened in the league this

208
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: year to this point, which is obviously still early, but

209
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: there's quite a bit of information that's come in. I'm

210
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: not sure the exact number, but they've been a lot

211
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: of there's been a lot of code positive COVID cases here,

212
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: and so I don't think we're just talking about one

213
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: one thing. You know, unvaccinated players we're talking about while

214
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: vaccinated players and coaches, um, you know, have have come

215
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: down with the virus and so that's you know, that's

216
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: a problem too. So you know, it's it's a big

217
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a big issue, and you know

218
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: one that we want to continue to Number one, just

219
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: try to stay as safe as we can um individually

220
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: and collectively as a team and try to do everything

221
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: we can, you know, to avoid that. Um. But I

222
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: mean they're more people that are vaccinated that have the

223
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: virus that are unvaccinated than have that problem. So but

224
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: but they're both do so UM, I'm not really sure

225
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: what the answer is here, and try to be as

226
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: I said, it's proactive on um good health and you know,

227
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: following all the right personal hygiene and you know, keeping

228
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: things as clean and save as possibly do that anyway,

229
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: just you know for other you know, infections and just

230
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: general good medical protocol. But this isn't just a problem

231
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: of that vaccinating employers. This is Hey, look at Tennessee,

232
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: like that was a big problem. And I'm not sure

233
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,359
Speaker 1: if I think most, if not all, those people are vaccinated.

234
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: So's it goes a lot deeper than that by making

235
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: it a competitive disadvantage with the with the forfeit situation.

236
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: Do you feel like the NFL has put coaches in

237
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: a difficult position at all when it comes to those

238
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: who are vaccinated and those who aren't. Yeah, I don't.

239
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: It's not really my job. So whatever the rules are,

240
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: they are, we can fly with them. There's not much

241
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: other to make them in situations like this on them.

242
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of information that whoever's making

243
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: those decisions has that I honestly have enough to do

244
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: to Let's try to coach and help prepare our teams.

245
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to focus on the bill. One of the

246
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: things that you all have talked about is being able

247
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: to learn through situations of the game and teaching moments

248
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: in the game. Last night's game, there was a situation

249
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: where you guys had twelve men in the huddle on

250
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: the goal line, and then you turn around and two

251
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: plays later you have an interception. Can you talk a

252
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: little bit about just those teaching moments of going from

253
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: a kind of a bad situation and then being able

254
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: to capitalize and turn that kind of bad situation into

255
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,359
Speaker 1: a positive situation which you end up with an interception

256
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: in the end zone for the defense. Oh, I think yeah.

257
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean there's certainly a lot of good lessons there,

258
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: But in the end um, in that particular one, you know,

259
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: looking at both sides of that defensively um, you know,

260
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: if you can force him to run one more play,

261
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: then yeah, that's you still you know, you're still out

262
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: there fighting, he's still a chance to stop him, or

263
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: you know that make mask them kind of a positive

264
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: result of the drive. Um, if you're on the other

265
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: side of it, you know, even though you're an inch away,

266
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: you're not You're not there until you're there. And so

267
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: being able to finish one way or the other, whether

268
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: you're on offense or defense in that situation is you know,

269
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: really what a lot of games in the NFL come

270
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: down to. And being a good position is is great,

271
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: and taking advantage and finishing it is still you know

272
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: what the outcome really ends up being. So um, you know,

273
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: Joan is strong tackle kept taking a round of the

274
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: end zone and um, then we um, you know had

275
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: a half distance the twel they was just not very significant.

276
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: And then but those inches might have you know, then

277
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: they they could have made a difference. Certainly, we don't

278
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: want to have twelve guys on the field. Um, but

279
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 1: in that situation, um, you know, unfortunately, playing a lot

280
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: of people and getting into a goal line defense and

281
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: all that, we we didn't have it right. But then

282
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: you know they want to make a stop on the

283
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, on the inside running play and and then

284
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: then um, you know when when the Giants you know

285
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: threw it. When Jones rolled out and you know, try

286
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: to throw back inside and damgel made a good play

287
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: and yeah, but you're right, absolutely, there's there's a lot

288
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: of good lessons there, and um, not just on the situation,

289
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: but also the technique and and you know, like playing

290
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: with ball on the one inch line or one foot

291
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: line or wherever it was was, you know, a lot

292
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: different than than midfield. And so understanding those those things

293
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: bon both sides of the focus situation. You know, hopefully

294
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: we'll we'll serve us well at some point in the future.

295
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: But I think when those things come up, you know,

296
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: we try to we try to coach both sides of

297
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: the situation. So whichever side of it we're on, you know,

298
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: we learned from that. But then we also look at it.

299
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: What if it was us on the other side, what

300
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: would we do, what would we not do? How would

301
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: we how would we want to handle that specific situation,

302
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: because ultimately we're hopefully you know, gonna be on somebody's

303
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: inside the one you are learning too. And then you know,

304
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that we again learned from

305
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: from something that you know happened in the game, even

306
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: though even though we were on the other side of it.

307
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: Your guy. Bon Jovie was out there Wednesday. Do when

308
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,120
