44
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: In your two steps, did you find to be the

45
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: most difficult part of getting your program up and running?

46
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, what was Cleveland? And here? What do you

47
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: mean in Cleveland and where into England there's a head

48
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: coach team, two different stuffs. Yeah, well, I mean to look,

49
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: all that's in the past. I don't really care too

50
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: much about that right now. I'm just trying to do

51
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: a good job with our team this year, get them

54
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: the phase of our preparation, as I said, for the

55
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: opener and for the regular season. So really just focused

56
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: on what I can do to help our team. And

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: there's certainly a lot of things that we can do better,

58
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: that I can do better, that our staff can do better.

59
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,840

Speaker 1: the way down to all the people we interacted with,

67
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: which I want to say it was practically everybody there,

68
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: um you know the research people there, archives, the uh

69
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, the people that showed us around and answer

70
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: questions and UM. It was a great experience. UH. You know,

71
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: I got to because I was there a little bit longer,

72
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: got to see a lot of uh things maybe that

73
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: uh I wouldn't have seen otherwise. UM. Certainly it was

74
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: great to see Ty uh and all the the the

75
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: people who came to support him, as well as the

76
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: other guys that were there, Kevin who um sat the

77
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: jets when I was there of course, and Gil Brand

78
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: who have a long UM relationship with and uh edwy

79
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: um and who's killed us so many times. But UM

80
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: we can put a smile on our face now because

81
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: we know have to. I don't have to deal with

82
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: him um on the field, so UM, so it was

83
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: great to see you know, all those people, and and

84
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: um Tony as well. It's another guy that killed us,

85
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: UM when we didn't double cover them, which was almost

86
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: every play we doubled them. So but it was it

87
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: was great. I think our team appreciated it. We saw,

88
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: you know a lot of the history of the game, UM,

89
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: the bus and the the inshrinee UM an other UM

90
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: historical things about the Hall of Fame. I think one

91
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: of the great things about the Hall of Fame UM

92
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: that they pointed out multiple times to us, which I'm

93
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: not sure I fully understood. UM, but the Hall of

94
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: Fame really is is a hall of fame for every

95
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: NFL player, UM, not just the the inshrineese and the

96
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: ones of the bus. So UM. Literally I could I

97
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: could go to UH nineteen forty one, go to nineteen

98
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: forty one Lions and pull up my dad and see

99
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: the team picture and see an article about them and

100
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: so forth, so that you know their objective and I'd

101
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: say they've achieved it is so that um, every UM

102
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: family member UH son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter or

103
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: whoever could actually go there, or the player themselves could

104
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: go there and and not just see their name, but

105
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: you know, see something about the person UM. You know, pictures,

106
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: article UM, as well as stats or whatever the case

107
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: might be. Regardless if the player played one year or

108
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: twenty years in the league. So, um, you know, if

109
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: they've done a great job preserve in the history of

110
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: the game, and when only one percent of them, of

111
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: their um member bilia and collection is on display, then

112
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: you realize how the enormity of what they have and

113
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: how great and how special it is. And um, so

114
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: it was quite a you know, see grange of shoulder

115
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: pads and Joe Namas cape and Johnny Unitis's high top

116
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: shoes and it's just, uh, you know, it's it's thrilling,

117
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: it really is. Let's throwing put it all on one place.

118
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: So I think that was great. Yeah, you signed Tom

119
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Brady and for a new deal. He's in during his

120
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: twentieth season. You guys have coached him each of the seasons.

121
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: Are you continuously surprised that he's been able to kind

122
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: of defy father time and continue to play at a

123
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: high level. Yeah, Toms, I'm very consistent throughout the course

124
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: of his career, and I feel like we're off to

125
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, a good start in training camp. We all

126
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: have a long way to go, but you know, Tom's

127
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: worked hard. Um, it's put in with a lot of time,

128
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: a lot of work as he always does. He's very

129
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: well prepared. So you know, we're looking forward to just

130
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: building this through the season and you know, continue to

131
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: get better on a daily basis. But we need to

132
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: take into account and help many or how few snaps

133
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: live STAPs the guys will get on Thursday. How useful

134
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: are these three days where you going up because the

135
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: other team they're great. I think you really identified the

136
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: one of the great values of this is um the

137
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: number of quality reps that everybody can get between the

138
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: game and practice. I think throughout our entire roster we

139
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: feel very good about the opportunity. We'll have to look

140
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: at everybody against UM quality competition and so getting experience

141
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: to players who don't have experience, guys that do have

142
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: experience to do it in a controlled setting where we

143
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: can get their down red area, two minute and so

144
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: forth against We've done that against ourselves, but now we're

145
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: seeing it against other players, another team, a different scheme

146
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: and and let's say a little more competitive situation. So

147
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: I think those are all good. It gives us a

148
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: great opportunity to start to begin the process of seeing

149
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: an opponent, recognizing the adjustments we need to make, making

150
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: those adjustments quickly, both as coaching staff and as players

151
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: and in each unit. So this is a it's a

152
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: great opportunity, and especially with Matt and his staff and

153
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: how well I feel like we can work with them. Certainly,

154
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: it's gone very smooth up to this point. I expected

155
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: to continue the cooperation and the reciprocal um, the reciprocal

156
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: cooperation to make sure that everything that everybody gets as

157
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: much out of it as we can, again individually, by

158
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: unit and as an entire team. Um, you know, I

159
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: think the structure of it's great. They've they've been very

160
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: they've been great with it. There's sense of pride or

161
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: delighted that you have when you walk into a building

162
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: run by two guys they used to work for even

163
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, I mean I don't know a lot

Speaker 1: them well. As I said, it's a it's a great

167
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: building to walk into period. It's a tremendous facility and

168
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,599
Speaker 1: certainly brings back a lot of memories, you know, for

169
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: me from seventy six to seventy seven when I was here. Um.

170
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: But that being said, the real purpose of Our trip

171
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: here is to improve our football team. That's what we're

172
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: here for us. I don't want to get caught up

173
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: in you know a lot of the things. Um. You know,

174
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: they're nice and they're there, but you know, what we

175
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: are we're here for is to do what we need

176
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: to do and and help our football team get better.

177
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: As I said, it's a great opportunity. We don't want

178
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: to we don't want to miss it. Literally, somebody, he's

179
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: a successful while So I'm sorry I miss the beginning

180
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: of question for you. Yeah, Kyle's done a good job

181
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: for us. Kyle's a universatile player. He fits well into

182
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: our scheme. Um. Uh, you know the scheme that that

183
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: he was in before, I think was um, you know,

184
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: maybe not as good of a fit for him. Uh,

185
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: similar to when we got Colvin from the Bears. Um.

186
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes some players are just you know, fit

187
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: in one situation or one scheme a little bit better

188
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: than another. So Kyle has been a great done a

189
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: great job for us. He's smart. Uh, he's very instinctive,

190
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: does a good good job of communication. He can call signals.

191
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: We have multiple signal callers on our defense and that's

192
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: a good thing. That helps with communication adjustments. And um,

193
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: he's made a lot of he's made a lot of

194
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: big plays for US. Uh, since we've got him, I'm

195
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: glad we have him. He's done a great job team building.

196
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: How valuable is experience and take your team on the

197
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: road and help unify. Yeah, I think it's a good opportunity.

198
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll be able to take advantage of it. Um,

199
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, the scenario weren't very good in last year.

200
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of components of that,

201
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: but you know, the bottom line was we weren't a

202
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: good road team at all. And that's important in this league.

203
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: It's you're not gonna last very long, you know, when

204
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: you can't play five hundred on the road or better.

205
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: So hopefully we can improve on that. And this is

206
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: an opportunity for us to us I said, take some steps,

207
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: get some things ironed out. Um, you know, start to

208
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: develop a routine and and hopefully build on it. Okay,

209
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: thank you, see you out there.
