1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: I know it's still pretty early, but you've got at 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: least your hands on Kenny Golladay a little bit here 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: this spring. What do you envision him bringing to your offense. 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: It looks like all of our players are trying just 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: right now to get these guys and playing shape, get 6 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: them called upon our schemes and systems. Like every team, 7 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: we've made adjustments in the off season, try and go 8 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: ahead and play to our strengths. When you add new 9 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: players your roster, with your free agency or the draft, 10 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna try to build different things and that fit 11 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: to their strengths. You know, obviously there's going to be 12 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: an element of what he did so well in Detroit 13 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: that we'll try to incorporate. Let and play to a strengths, 14 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: and then we're trying to find things then maybe fit 15 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: us that you know he hasn't done the past. We 16 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: have to make sure they fit them as we go. 17 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: So right now, it's all about football movement, Jordan, about 18 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: getting these guys in shape and train their bodies. That's 19 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: really the most important thing at this time for us 20 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: as a team. And then you understand the systems and 21 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: the schemes in terms of all of our players. Look, 22 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: I expect the high level of performance from every player 23 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: and every coach in this organization, and so we all 24 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,959 Speaker 1: get paid for as it work every day for Well, 25 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: what is it that you saw that he did so 26 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: well in Detroit that you can kind of incorporate here. 27 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: Yet everyone kind of saw on tape And this guy 28 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: has been a physical player for years. He's made a 29 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: lot of tough catch He's made a lot of big 30 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: players in the ball in his hand and running. Uh 31 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: he brings out on a physical toughness. That's something we 32 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: saw on tape, and we plan on building into his 33 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: strengths whatever we can do with our offense. Rock uh 34 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: ge what States sold him? There been like having him 35 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: having him back? And how has he been looking? Just 36 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: say Nate I lost for a second of time. Yes, Yeah, 37 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: Nate's been working hard for us now. I mean he 38 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: took some time. You really get his body back going obviously, 39 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: you know, some time away from the game and takes 40 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: some time to you know, reacclimate, get back and playing shape. 41 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: He's been doing a good job being in the building, 42 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: working hard on the field. He's been great with the guys. 43 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: He's obviously an older guy, brings a lot of experience. 44 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: He's been a good voice in the room as the 45 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: entire offensive lines at great communication with rob Ben, Pat 46 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: Freddie and all those guys working together. I've been very 47 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: pleased to how that entire unit, players and coach been 48 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: working and the progress are building towards right now. Are 49 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: you with believer? Are you? I'm sorry? Are you you 50 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: a believer that a player, like a veteran player like 51 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: Nate with a year off to to sort of get 52 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: his body right can be a benefit rather than you know, 53 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: maybe a younger player missing missing all that time would 54 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: be a detriment. I think it depends on the situation, 55 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: depends on the player, Tom. I don't think you can 56 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: go ahead and make a blanket statement on any one 57 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: better one young player. To me, everyone's on equal playing 58 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: ground right now. The best players will play. We're gonna 59 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: let training camp sort out the competition right now. We're 60 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: just focusing on getting these guys moving back in football movements. 61 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: Everybody's had a length of time off. You know, every 62 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: one of our players had approximately five months off before 63 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: they came back. Obviously, Nate didn't play last year, so 64 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: he had a little bit more extended time. But in 65 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: terms of everybody, no one's played football in a long time. Now, 66 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: we gotta get everyone back going. Oh um, I know 67 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: it's early old t as, no pans and all that. 68 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: Can you talk about some of the things seen from 69 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: your rookie group. You know, I'm really pleased with the 70 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: way they work. I think with rookies, which you see 71 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: a lot of times, is you see a level of 72 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: improvement week by week. You know, more so than the 73 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: bets because they're so young. It's kind of watching a 74 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: bunch of pubs grow up. Uh, they come in and 75 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: drinking from a fire hose. And rookie minicamp in terms 76 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: of just getting on the same page, you gotta remember 77 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: these guys walk down the hallways, they're just trying to 78 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: remember everyone's facing names. So when you start plugging it 79 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: all together and moving fast going forward these guys, that 80 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: slows down for them. Every week. You know, the schemes, 81 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: the systems, the terminology. You start seeing their bodies getting 82 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: better shape. I think the one thing with all the 83 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: rookies right now, and you know, talking to a bunch 84 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: of other teams are seeing the same thing is when 85 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: you get these guys from the draft. In the rookie 86 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: mini camp, if they've been so far removed from football training, 87 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's that combine training, it's that personal trainer 88 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: kind of let's go to your own pace. You have 89 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: to get back into team football where you're moving at 90 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: a higher intensity with a higher volume, and you're moving 91 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: in more team drills. So that football movement we talked 92 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: about right there, that's very important in terms of the rookies. 93 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: You know, they've got to really get their legs back 94 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: on them. But we're seeing a lot of improvement every 95 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: day from these guys and its stacked a week after 96 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: weeks so far. Um, Please with the attention to detail 97 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: they're given force, and please with the way they're working 98 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: on the rookie development program. And I'm excited to get 99 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: these guys in the pads. They come on and we'll 100 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 1: see him go full speed. Let's take three more. Let's 101 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: take three more. Schwartz, Cannaban, Lombarto, sorts Hey, Joe, um 102 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: Um Evan and get gets beat up quite a bit 103 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: by a portion of the fan base, you know, frustrated 104 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: with drops and things like that. When you're dealing with Evan, 105 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: do you have to you know, with every player there's 106 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: a physical and there's a mental. Do you kind of 107 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: have to um pump him up, uh gauge his confidence 108 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: things like that when a guy like Evan was obviously 109 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: talented but has had some ups and down in his career. No, 110 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: the confidence comes from practice execution. And I'm telling you 111 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: when you watch us practice and you watch number eight 112 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: eight on the field, no one empties attack like this guy. 113 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy goes hard every day. You know 114 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: we've got to tell him to tone it down more 115 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: than pick up this pace based on what kind of 116 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: phrase of practicims, walk through, job through, Pro Bowl pace, 117 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: whatever we have at that time of year. Evans always 118 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: a guy that makes you say, hey, Evan, tone it 119 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: down a little bit. This guy works on details. He 120 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: takes coaching very well. He's mentally tough, He's a physically 121 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: tough dude. Um takes care of his body great to 122 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: stay in the field. And I think the dependability factor 123 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: for teammates Paul is when they know you're working your 124 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: hardest every day, you're doing everything you can to help 125 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: the team, all right, Then you know you put everything 126 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: into it and when something falls short on the field 127 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: from any player. Okay, they can trust the guys put 128 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: in the work in the preparation. At that point, we 129 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: have to help the guy improve. Um, but I'm very 130 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: pleased the way he works. He's a fun guy, having 131 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: a program. He's great in the locker room. He's a 132 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: leader on our team. He's a very productive player for us. 133 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: All right, enjoy a coach from every single day. Thank you, 134 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: end of it. Hey true, Hey, Tom Good. You can't 135 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: watch TV these days without seeing somebody say go get 136 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: vaccinated without citing me himper roles. Do you envisioned by 137 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: the start of the season most of your team will 138 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: be vaccinated? Tom honestly couldn't give an answer to that, 139 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: And to be completely honest with you, when it comes 140 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: to anything dealing with medical protocols, vaccinations, I'm not a 141 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: medical professional. Let our training staff and doctors talk to 142 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: the team in regards that. I let them deal with 143 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: those issues right there. Um. You know, everyone has a 144 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: choice to make players, so that that's that's their decision. 145 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm not getting involved that. Let them deal directly with 146 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: the medical professionals. I don't have enough expertise in that 147 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: area time to give someone direction one wear another did 148 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,119 Speaker 1: you get vaccinated? The answer is yes, I did get vaccinated. Yeah, 149 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: that's not a step and and I want to make 150 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: something clear, that's not any kind of statement, all right, 151 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: one way or another. That's pure and simple. Um, we 152 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: were asking vaccinated about the league to be able to 153 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: be part of you know, the draft rooms, be a 154 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: part of coming in our building and working. Um, that's 155 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: something that you know, for myself, I thought it was 156 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: important to do. So that's where I'm going at that point. 157 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: Last one, I hear Lombardo, Hey, Joe, how's it going? Man? Good? 158 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: What's going on? Because hey, um, you know Daniel has 159 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: been back in the building and back on the field 160 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: now a couple of weeks during O t A S 161 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: would have been some areas where you've seen him kind 162 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: of improve. And how much have you seen things kind 163 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: of slowed down for him now that it's his second 164 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: year in the system. Well, I think it's overall understanding 165 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: command is UH is really becoming, you know, where we 166 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: wanted to be. And you saw that last year as 167 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: he grew within it. You know, he didn't have the 168 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: opportunity last year to have a spring, to have a 169 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: true training camp, to go out there, you know, going 170 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: with the same terminology at the same language this year, 171 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: that slows it down a little bit for any player, 172 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: excuse me. In terms of being in the huddle, his 173 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: command has always really been great, you know. I think 174 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: the biggest thing right now for any quarterback, including Daniel, 175 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: is just getting on the same page with all the 176 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: players and getting the timing down. This time of year 177 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: really for those guys are crucial just to be able 178 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: to go out there and throw routes and get some 179 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: timing and get a fuel because everybody's a little bit different, 180 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: you know, for all of our quarterbacks, you have to 181 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: get a fuel for the specific guy they're throwing specific 182 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: routes to and what that route may look different with 183 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: certain guys, what they do at the top of the route, 184 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: how the release may change, you know, where they can 185 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: put the ball as a quarterback, where the player can 186 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: expect the ball. So they've got to get a feel 187 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: for each other, and that just takes rep some time. 188 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: And I'm proud of those guys being on here working 189 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: hard every day and put that time in Hyeah
