1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: Um, coach, if I understand you're gonna have your outdoor 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: practice today, everything's that go. Yes, there are things that 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: go right now. We're all good. We came in today. 4 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: What do you got, Okay, Coaches that now in your 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: back somewhat on schedule having to practice outdoors? Does that 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: will you determine today for Daniel for Sunday, I'd like 7 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: to have a much better idea in a perfect world, 8 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: I'd like to have a decision today, if possible, tomorrow 9 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: we'll walk through for the team in the morning. I 10 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: can't say this is gonna be the case, but I'd 11 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: say I'm leaning towards possibly make a decision today if 12 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: that's possible. Thank you that. Hey, Joe, obviously you guys 13 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: had another kind of wrench thrown into your Sunday plans 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: with James Bradberry obviously being declared out or because of 15 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: the COVID. I'm just curious, like what how you feel 16 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: about that, Like what your reaction is to because obviously 17 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: he's been such an important part of the defense this 18 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: year and you're not. You don't really have that many 19 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,959 Speaker 1: like your cornerbacks on the active roster right now. Yeah, 20 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: it's unfortunately obviously one all of our players at the game. 21 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: We don't. We definitely want anybody sick or hurt or 22 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: injured on our team or any other team, to be 23 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: honest with you, but look, it's our job to prepare 24 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: the players. It's every player's job to be prepared to 25 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: play when their numbers called on. So look, we've got 26 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: guys on the team who have past history of cornerback 27 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: versatilities definitely, you know, cornerstone of how we build our team, 28 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: especially our defense, and that's no different. We work a 29 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: lot of guys in different positions throughout the weeks of practice. 30 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes that doesn't always show up in games that we're 31 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: always thinking ahead and thinking the would have scenario. So look, 32 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: the last thing we always talk about as a staff 33 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: on Saturday and our staff meeting is everyone go to 34 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: bed tonight and wake up and make sure we have 35 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: a solid plan in place that if you wake up 36 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: tomorrow and we get some bad COVID news, that we've 37 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: got the progression of who's going to do what and 38 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: how we're going to continue with the game planner a 39 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: just a game plan. So that's something we talked about 40 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: a regular basis. This is no different Tom Rock Joe, 41 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: you talk a lot about the toughest of your team 42 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: and wanting to be tough, and I would think that 43 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: this week is a good test of that, both physically 44 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: against the Browns team that that seems like it's one 45 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: of the more teams in the league, and also mentidly 46 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: with with everything that's coming down on this team, you 47 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: see it that way, well, definitely, there's some challenge been 48 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: thrown our way all year, but that's no different from 49 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: any other team in the league. So we've all dealt 50 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: with the same thing, same obstacles, some in different doses, 51 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: are different timing, but this is not unique to the 52 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: label what we're dealing with this week, and we just 53 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: have to go ahead, plot forward, and move ahead. You know. 54 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: In terms of the Browns, this is definitely a physical team. 55 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: This team runs the ball, This team is good on 56 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: run defense, This team is good in the kicking game. 57 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: In terms of creating a fuel position, they play with 58 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: a good nasty edge. I think when you think about 59 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: their defensive front, a lot of people want to highlight 60 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: the pass rush they have, which is obviously no secret, 61 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: but these guys do a tremendous job against a run. 62 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: Their interior players are very quick and elusive. They put 63 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: with good penetration anticipation to get around your blocks. And 64 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: the redge players are very good to set the edge 65 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: and compress it and make sure they bottle up your 66 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: run game Right there at Leonard and Joe. Two quick ones. 67 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: If I may, first, if Colt McCoy were to play 68 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: for you and start for you on Sunday, what did 69 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: he do well in the Seattle game to help you 70 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: guys win? Well, I think did a lot of things well. 71 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: I mean, first off, I love the way he just 72 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: controlled the flow of the game, tempo of the game, 73 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: calls on the line of scrimmage, identify what the defense 74 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: was in, putting us in the right place, made some 75 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: big place for us down the stretch, some key completions 76 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: to continue drives. You know, did a good job when 77 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: you have to go had to go ahead and check 78 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: from a run to a pass or vice versa. I 79 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: thought just his you know, experience really showed up in 80 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: that game. And the biggest thing he's very good is 81 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: his colts a very positive guy. He's a competitor, he's 82 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: a very positive guy, and he understands the flow of 83 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: We're always getting ready for a sixty minute game. So 84 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: if things aren't going well initially, you're never gonna hear him, 85 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, complain or tap out. He's very committed to 86 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: the process any adjustments you have to make. You know, 87 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: Colts a smart dude. He's always in tune to talking 88 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: on sidelines. But hey, what do you guys think about 89 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: maybe changing this up or do you want to stick 90 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: with this? Or he may come back and say, hey, 91 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: I like this play called again. So you know, Colts 92 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: very very you know, mentally into the game, and that 93 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: carries over, you know, and really you know, gets the 94 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: rest of our guys in huddle as well, and just 95 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: pat um thanks um. James Bradberry reportedly he was a 96 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: high risk contact to a chiropractor who's positive. How much 97 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: time do you spend looking into whether like that's a 98 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: breach of your guys protocols or does everybody have that 99 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: kind of arrangement with their different suices and cars and 100 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: you just some of the cutout path. But I think 101 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: what you're asking in terms of you know, him dealing 102 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: with the chiropractor outside of our system, Uh, look, that's 103 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: obviously something we try to avoid. Um Ronny and his 104 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: staff do a great job of making you know multiple 105 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: people available inside or someone's externally. You know, we've talked 106 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: to the players repeatedly and we re emphasized that yesterday 107 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: as well, that there's someone externally. I don't care if 108 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: it's a chiropractor or Dennis to barber, whoever you need, 109 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: you know, contact with, get him in our system, will 110 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: get them tested, will make sure you're safe, to make 111 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: sure we make all the right decisions. Uh. Look, I 112 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: want to make it clear James wasn't uh defiantly doing anything. 113 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: He didn't do anything malicious to hurt the team. It's 114 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: unfortunate sometimes you make a mistake. Um. I don't want 115 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: to speak for James, but I can echo that. You know, 116 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: his assumption of this guy was with another NFL team, 117 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: and he was on the assumption. He was tested every day. 118 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: What we can't do as a team as coach their 119 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: players and make those assumptions. And we have things in 120 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: place to keep our team safe. We have to trust 121 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: the process, trust the protocols. We have to rely on 122 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: Ronny and his staff a great deal to get us 123 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: through this. They've done a tremendous job the entire year 124 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: We've been very fortunate with the limited number of cases 125 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: and the limited number of postponements or adjustments to our 126 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: schedule that we've had to make. You know, yesterday was 127 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: really the first day we've had to go ahead and 128 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: cancel a practice. We made adjustments in the day of 129 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: how we're gonna go ahead and make progress. But we've 130 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: done a good job throughout the year really staying on course. End. Look, 131 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: obviously people feel there's a uh an end in sight 132 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, the end of the regular season, 133 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: So we've got to make sure that we, you know, 134 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: tighten this thing up. And I feel like we're in 135 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: cruise control and that everything's gonna take care of itself. 136 00:05:54,520 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: Thank you, Paul, Hey, Joe, um, Um, whether it's cult 137 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: or it's Daniel, can you expect to have success as 138 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: a team when you know, um, you get a hundred 139 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: yards passing very few touchdown passes. I mean, the passing 140 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: game has kind of, even when you were winning, has 141 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: kind of just been there. Do you need more from 142 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: that aspect of the game, whatever it takes for us 143 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: to have success, Paul, we'll go ahead adjust in the 144 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: game and make sure we're moving that direction. We always 145 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: expect to have success. We work for the entire week throughout. Look, 146 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: we're not afraid to make this a grimey game, uh 147 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form against any team. I 148 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: think we've shown that throughout the year. Our defense is 149 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: a key part of how we play our kicking game 150 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: with field position. We have to continue improving in all 151 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: those phases. And then offensively, Look, we want to be 152 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: able to run the ball and throw the ball effectively 153 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: when we need to. Some games it's more running. Some 154 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: game it's more throwing. You know, whatever presents itself and 155 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: whatever is working within the game will always make the adjustments. 156 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: Keep that going. Thanks, we'll take two more. Jordan um 157 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: a question about what we talked to Freddie earlier, and 158 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: Freddie said, what I want to do is get my 159 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: players in the best business position to make plays. Does 160 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: he have court blanche that what he feels is right. 161 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: It's like I assumed he may call a pass in 162 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 1: a situation and Jason, they call a run. Yeah. Listen, 163 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: the offensive staff has done a good job putting together 164 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: the game plan. That's a very cooperative process. They all 165 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: work together, they share ideas, they paint things off each other. Obviously, 166 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: you know I have an involvement with talking with the 167 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: coordinators in the way I may see a game being 168 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: played or adjustments I want made as well. Um, but look, 169 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: once you get into the game, you know the play 170 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: caller has to call it as he sees the game. 171 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: You can't script an entire game. You can't go by 172 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: some temple and how the game is supposed to go. 173 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: You've got to have a feel within the game of 174 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: how you see it, how the quarterbacks are seeing it, 175 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: what's working, what adjustments they've made, and we have to 176 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: do to adjust on our own part. So yes, to 177 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: answer your question, when he gets in the game, he's 178 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: gonna be able to call plays as he sees fits 179 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: to help this team. And we'll discuss those situations scenarios 180 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: before we get to Sunday, like I do week with 181 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: all the coordinators and make sure we're on the same 182 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: page in terms of, Okay, what do you think in 183 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: these situations? And then there's always the what if scenarios 184 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: I present? What if they match us with this, what's 185 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: our answer? What if we can't get this going? What's 186 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: our answer? All right? The other question that was brought 187 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: up earlier is can Jason get on at halftime and 188 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: say this is what I'm seeing now? We can't have 189 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: any extranal contact. Last one here Jordan's hey Joe with Daniel, 190 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: what's the what's the plan today? What do you and 191 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: what do you want to see from him? Yeah, look, 192 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: this is it's kind of like a broken record, to 193 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: be honest with Jordan. It's a lot like last week. 194 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: I just want to see how this guy moves around 195 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: and progresses, you know, not having the day off yesterday. Um, 196 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: we'll see how his body responds after you know, doing 197 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: some things on Wednesday, and see how it looks on 198 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: Friday today. So again, I just want to see how 199 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: he moves around, you know, see how the injuries have 200 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: kind of progressed. He's been working hard with the trainers, 201 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: and I just really want to see his mobility overall. 202 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,599 Speaker 1: We're not gonna have some kind of obstacle course we 203 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: throw them through. It's gonna be just seeing them through 204 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: football moves of individual drills, of some team settings and 205 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: how he looks out there. How much is he gonna 206 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: get some first team snaps to try and prove that 207 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: to you. Yeah, he'll get a share tonight
