1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Zero. Hey, Joe, Hey, Um, just real quick off the

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: top here. Kadarius Tony last night tweeted that he thought

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: it was goofy was his word that people were publicly

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: criticizing Henry Ruggs for that incident. Uh, what are your

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: thoughts on that? And have you addressed that with Cadarius

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: the answers that I have spoke to Cadarius, I spoke

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: the entire team on this issue. Um. Look, I like

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: say that one thing that's unique about the situation, UM

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: with Henry is the amount of relationships he has throughout

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: this league. You know, whether you're from the state of

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: Alabama and you know him from playing through high school,

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: competing against him, you're a team and his Alabama, which

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: is a significant number of those guys are playing in

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: the NFL. When I talked to my team about the situation,

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm literally looking at guy's eyes that it's not a

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: headline to them that this is a friend of theirs,

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: a teammate of theirs, or something different. So, you know,

18
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: I think the important thing is that we expressed that, Look,

19
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: our prayers with everybody involved in this is a terrible

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 1: thing to happened. I've to be very very careful aout

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: how I command any of this because it is still

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: an ongoing legal matter, okay, and it's not right for

23
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: anyone to really sway publicly one way or another or anything.

24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: So I've talked to you know, Cadarius, and it's important

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: that we understand, you know, how we articulate our words

26
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: and put it out there, you know, ultimately our prayers

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: with everybody. This is the situation no one wants to

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: see happen to anybody. Noe wants to be in this situation.

29
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: And while no one's you know, in any way, shape

30
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: or form dismissing consequences at all, it's horrible on both sides. Guys,

31
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: it's absolutely horrible. Um that you know, I think you know,

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: there's some players on the Raiders and Derek Carve you

33
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: know voice as well, that it's it's a terrible incident. Um.

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, you guys to make sure that you know,

35
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: you still have prayers for everybody involved and the important things.

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: We articulate our words and we watch what we say

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: at the same time, right, Joe, I just wanted to

38
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: uh go back to your team a little bit and uh,

39
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, with the COVID stuff, it sounds like it

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: sounds like you planned to get I guess us to

41
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: those guys back, Um, what does missing these practices mean

42
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: for sake ones availability though, because obviously's he's still dealing

43
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: with the ankle injury. Yeah, look, I'll be transparent on

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: that one, right there, guys, And a lot of times,

45
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, we've got to see what how they really

46
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: move and not having him available to be here with

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: the trainers on a regular basis um and really kind

48
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: of see if we can get him into practice. I

49
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: would say that'd be something that you know, I wouldn't

50
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: eliminate it at this point based on where he's a physically,

51
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: but I couldn't say that it's moving in a direction

52
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: to give us a definite answer, you know, in a

53
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: positive way. So again, Tom, we'll see where he's at.

54
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: I would say, with all these tests, it's been all

55
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: but one has come back as negative. We're actually getting

56
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: a lot of players back who tested positive this morning

57
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: and then retested negative. We're getting back in for practice.

58
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: We've had a number of coaches as well that we

59
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: had to send home this morning that are now back

60
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: in the building and working. So it's been kind of

61
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: obviously a different type of day. We've kind of float

62
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: with it pretty well. I think as an organization, we

63
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: got the meetings accomplished virtually. It was a lot kind

64
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: of like stepping back into last season. We've got the

65
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: players coming over right now. We've had a gap between

66
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: the meetings and we're having a walk through at one thirty.

67
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: We'll go walk through up till two o'clock. Practice at

68
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: two o'clock, and then we'll recap the tape tonight virtually again,

69
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: just to make sure that we kind of follow the

70
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: entire flow of the day virtually. But the feedback we're

71
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: getting right now is almost you know from our training

72
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: staff of as we get more information, be patient, and

73
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: we've told every player to be ready, that we expect

74
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: everyone to be completely focused in and locked in and

75
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: available for this game. I couldn't tell you right now.

76
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: You know, no one's been ruled out completely as a player.

77
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: Um at that point, there are still some players are

78
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna miss practice today, not at the large number there

79
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: some players gonna miss practice the while we're waiting on

80
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: follow up tests and things of that nature. So you know,

81
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: i'd say right now the only person who I would

82
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: say is out for the game will be Burton Burns,

83
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: the coach, and right now you know him and his

84
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: wife are you know, getting some additional treatment right now

85
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: that Ronnie Barnes is set up for them and getting

86
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: make sure he's taken care of. We've talked to him

87
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: several times today and check and see how he's feeling.

88
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: We're taking out a precaution make sure he gets every

89
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, step possible. In terms of you know, the

90
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: players who haven't been with us come off injuries, say

91
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: Quana as well as some others, I'd say, just had

92
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: missed time in the day, whether you're doing anything I

93
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: are not gonna be part of this game anyway, or

94
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: someone who's trying to see if they can get to

95
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: this game. A little bit of lost time does affect you.

96
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: You know, not having the full morning available for treatment,

97
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: strength training, whatever's gonna get your body back, that does

98
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: affect you. But that being said, you know, the silver

99
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: liningness is we're getting ready right now to go out

100
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: in the field and practice. So we're still gonna guys

101
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: moving around and making progress. Some the other guys you're

102
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: gonna ask about in terms of Kenny and those guys,

103
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, we play on those guys being more involved

104
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: with practice today and seeing where they go. They did

105
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: the PM walk through with us last night, and we'll

106
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: see how they move. I'd say SHEP will start out

107
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: today with the trainers more than anything, you know, I

108
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: think this will be a deal where you know, coming

109
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 1: out of a game, this is really a game week Wednesday.

110
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: We don't have a lot of answers for what would

111
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: be anyway, obviously is Thursday getting close to a Sunday game.

112
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: But we'll see if there's a chance with him moving

113
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: around and how he progresses throughout the day and see

114
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: if it's realistic or not. What were the numbers, I'm sorry,

115
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: what were the numbers on the the positives that you

116
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: get back? I know you said yet thirteen on Tuesday.

117
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: What were the numbers yesterday and today? Do you know, Tom,

118
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't have they'll top of my head. I know

119
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: it was a good amount. There were a number of guys,

120
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: whether it was coaches, staff members, players, even you know,

121
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: some people in the media essay that went through a

122
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: similar thing in terms of getting a positive and get

123
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: a negative later on and saying you're clear to come

124
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: back to work. So look at something we're working through

125
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: operationally that as we keep getting results and guys are

126
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: clear to come back in the building, we will. You know,

127
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: there's a couple of cases of guys who are unvaccinated

128
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: with they're a little bit more in limbo because there's

129
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more extensive testing for those guys and

130
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: clearance methods. No one's been ruled out. We're getting everybody ready,

131
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: whether it's virtual meetings or however we have to do it.

132
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: We'll keep everyone ready and up for the game and

133
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: we have final answers, then we'll go ahead and plot forward.

134
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: To be completely honest with you until we find out

135
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: if we have to test tomorrow or continually throughout game day.

136
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: You know, I've told the coaches and players just everyone's

137
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: gotta be ready. I've told the coaches we could get

138
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: the Sunday morning and they could tell us we've lost

139
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: a dozen people. I don't want to hear any excuses.

140
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: You have the next guy ready to go, Have a

141
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 1: game plan ready that includes changing personnel, changes, scheme, whatever

142
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: we have to do with very fluid this that's our

143
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: job as coaches make sure we're the best plan available

144
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: regardless of who's available. Believe you, so, say, Quance involved

145
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: in the virtual meetings, is he do you know, like

146
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: is he working with a trainer and like is he

147
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: just standing around at his house doing nothing, or like

148
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: is he able to physically move around So that theoretically

149
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: if he rejoined you guys Friday or Saturday, he has

150
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: that any chance to play or that's unrealistic in terms

151
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: of what the trainers are doing with these guys while

152
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: they're removed. Um, there's some things they can do with them.

153
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: There's all some limitations while guys, and you know, the

154
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,119
Speaker 1: COVID protocols, you don't know if he's got the virus

155
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: or not, so you know, it terms what the trainers

156
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: are doing with them. You know, that's kind of between

157
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: those guys right there. You know, anyone who's in the

158
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: virtual meetings, it's not much more exciting than we are

159
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: right here, just kind of sitting still and watching and

160
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: being part of the meetings right here as far as talking,

161
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: So he's not up doing rehab while we're talking, if

162
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: that's what you're referring right there, But while we're in

163
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: the virtual meetings throughout the day. For that two hour

164
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: period we had this morning, you know, he was in there.

165
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: He was fully involved and he's part of the game plan.

166
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: He's listening to what's going on in the systems that

167
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: checks the agil spens obviously the things specific to the

168
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: Raiders we have the alert for. So mentally he's being

169
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: prepared and physically the trainers will handle the rest of

170
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: it and we'll see if we can opportuny to get

171
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: him out there and progressing towards Sunday. And again that

172
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: could be affected based on just the timetable from the league,

173
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: a lot of back based on what we get for

174
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: testing results. Let's take two more. Jordan paid Leonard, Jordan's

175
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: Jordan's sorry, Joe, Sorry the mute bun. Back to the

176
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: stument thing. Do you say you mentioned you had positives

177
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: this morning? Do you know how many positives you had

178
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: this morning in regards to players and coaches? Uh? You know, Jordan,

179
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: give you an exact number. I have to actually go

180
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: back and check my notes. It was a pretty solid number,

181
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: I'll give you that right now. It wasn't. It wasn't

182
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: like a quick glance over number. And also, how does

183
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: it affect guys sort of when there's a false positive

184
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: testing out if they're unvaccinated compared to when they're perhaps vaccinated.

185
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: I'd say the biggest thing is based gone with the

186
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: second test, they get back onto the other rapid test,

187
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: and then they get the PCR, which is more that

188
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: kind of swab and kind of later in the day

189
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: over night type of test. Getting back. There's a little

190
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: bit difference in terms of you know that. I'd say

191
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: the biggest difference is the exposure the close contacts. So

192
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: if you're vaccinated and the guy next to you is

193
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: not vaccinated, if both of you are close contacts of

194
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: somebody who pops a positive, the unvaccinated player is gonna

195
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: have to go through a lot more strenuous steps to

196
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: get back in the building, whereas if you're vaccinated, you

197
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: really have to wear a mask and test for five

198
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 1: consecutive days to make sure you're clear. So I was

199
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: a close contact myself a couple of weeks ago from

200
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: an interview I did, and that was something right there.

201
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: You had to put a mask on when you talk

202
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: to the team, when you're inside on the field, I

203
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: didn't have to wear a mask. I test for five

204
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: consecutive days, So that was really kind of my experience

205
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: would be in the vaccinated close contact, it doesn't remove

206
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: you from the office necessarily doesn't move you from the field.

207
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: If you're unvaccinated, it can take you out of action

208
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: if they deemed that, you know, you were at risk

209
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: as far as being a close contact, and the close

210
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: contact come anywhere from being in the lock, from being

211
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: in a meeting room, being on a bus, travel and

212
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: being on a plane too close to somebody in the

213
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: trip back. So there's number of places this can come from.

214
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: You know, that's want to hear Pat Lennard, Hey, Joe,

215
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: regarding cad Darius, You've had several instances now where you've

216
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: had to pull him aside, it seems, and explain to

217
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: him either why he can't do something or say a

218
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: certain thing. Is it concerning to you maybe that it's

219
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: not getting through to him that he uh seems to

220
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: leave and then basically say whatever he wants the next time,

221
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: or do you think he understands the ramifications of what

222
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: he says. Dar is a very intelligent person, all right,

223
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: and then every time we've had a talk, you know,

224
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: he's fully understanding. We've been on good place with that,

225
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of you know what he tweeted

226
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: out you know, I know where his heart was with that.

227
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: I think sometimes it comes across that obviously you read

228
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: it and you say, Okay, this doesn't really sound the

229
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: right way. I think it's more about making sure we

230
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: articulate our words. You know. I know he included in

231
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: there in terms of know we talked as a team.

232
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: That's about our prayers, ship with everybody involved. And that's

233
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: the truth, and that's what I believe, and that's what

234
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: I've expressed a team. I know a lot of the

235
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: players feel the same way in terms of you know,

236
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: his growth. But one thing I'll tell it now is

237
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: Katie's a good kid. And I shouldn't call him a kid.

238
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: He's not a kid, but he's a He's a good dude,

239
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: he really is, and he's got a good heart and

240
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: it's got is a hard worker, and he's a team

241
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: first guy. You know, I'd say, look, just from a

242
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: personal standpoint, I'm glad that you know, everything I did

243
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: when I was three is employed documented. All right, that

244
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: being said, we've got it. You know a group of

245
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: guys in this generation who are in a position where

246
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: everything they have is and they allow it to be

247
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: document in a lot of ways. Because we put it

248
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: out there ourselves, and we've got to make sure that

249
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: we just keep doing a good job, especially when it

250
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: comes to social media, making sure that we articulate our

251
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: point the right way, that we never have to clarify

252
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: or defend it, and that doesn't always come across the

253
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: right way the first time. We got to keep educating

254
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: all of our players. We keep working with our players

255
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: all the time, and to me, it's always important to understand,

256
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, someone's heart. You know, sometimes guys are gonna

257
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: make a mistake in terms of how they you know,

258
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: articulate verbalize something. When you understand the core of what

259
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: someone is trying to say, and you talk to a

260
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: guy and you understand relationship and maybe he didn't get

261
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: the point across exactly, you know, you understand it's coming

262
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: from the right place right there. And we've got a

263
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: number of guys are in the same situation, with a

264
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: lot of different situations. Pat and look, no one's more

265
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: aware of what goes on out there because I get

266
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, Dion and Pat handling these guys give me

267
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: a list of different things that go out there, and

268
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: sometimes it's like, does this have to come across my

269
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: desk and other times like yeah, I've got to see this,

270
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: and when something comes up, I have to talk to

271
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: a player. I talked to him, I addressed it. I don't,

272
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, hide from issues. We don't put our head

273
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: in the sand around here. We take things head on,

274
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: and if a player needs to be corrected on the

275
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: field or off the field, we do that. And if

276
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: there has to be discipline at some point, then we

277
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: take disapoint where's measures. But you know, there's a point

278
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: of trying to appease the crowd sometimes a discipline, there's

279
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: a point of knowing what's the actual point of you're

280
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: gonna get out of it? And uh, you know, I

281
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: think with Canarius specifically, Look, this guy is a really

282
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: really good person. He really is. He really is. He's

283
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: a good teammate. Okay, he's very coachable, he's got great

284
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: intentions in the building, what he's trying to do to

285
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: help this team. This guy is a tough dude. He

286
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: plays through a lot of stuff. So in terms of

287
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: this guy and his character, like, I have no questions

288
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: about this guy's character, pat and I think it's important

289
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: people to understand that, you know, I talked about all

290
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: the time, I can deal with personalities. Now, that doesn't

291
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: mean at some point, like you know, you don't have

292
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: to address something with somebody, you know, it doesn't mean

293
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: people want to address things with me. You know, my

294
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: personality can be braced at times. My personality rust people

295
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: the wrong way all the time. It's something very self conscious,

296
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, or self aware about you know. But you know, look,

297
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: I like people who are themselves and that includes you

298
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: understanding accepting their personalities. And he's a young player, and

299
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: we gotta continue to help this guy grow as a professional.

300
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: And he's doing everything he can on the field, and

301
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: he's making a lot of progress off the field as well.

302
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm really proud in the way this guy's working on

303
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: daily basis to be the best he can
