1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Guys, how's ever doing today? Good? Good? We see Idea

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: and Maddie and you've really collaborating on the offense when

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: it's that dynamic like, HOWK help me? Well, I've been

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: here for you know, two stints now and over a

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: period of time, and Coach has been involved with all

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: sides of the ball all the time. At as the

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: thing it's great about working with coach. You know he's

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: always involved, whether it's special teams or offense or defense.

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: You know, he's with all the coaches all time, talking ball,

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: watching tape. So you know why you may see me

11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: and Matt and Coach doing things together. That's universal across

12
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: the staff from back since Well have I learned since

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm in back? Well, I think you're always learning things

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: all the time about your players, and really for all

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: of our players, it's the first day in pads, this one,

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: really start learning about our team. You know, really the

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: evaluations start today. You know, when it's you just put

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: the pads on, you're really just starting to play football.

19
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: You know. Before this we're installing concepts and plays. We're

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: trying to get guys into formations and basic information. You're

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: trying to make as much progress as you can. But

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: really football starts today and the first day in pads

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: is never cleaned on any side of the ball. That's

24
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: why it's important to keep it simple, make it a

25
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: fundamental day or maybe a heavy interests on the run

26
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: game today, But we'll find out a lot about our team.

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: But specific to Mac, not ducking a question. You know,

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: you find out more about guys every day, and you

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: can't fast forward a relationship. You've got to build on

30
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: it every day, and that comes in building trust, and

31
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: that comes in just learning each other and how to

32
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: work with each other and what that guy needs to

33
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: help him be at his best. And that's my priority,

34
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: is to help all of our players go out there

35
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: and execute it their absolute best every day. And obviously

36
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Max's no exception conversation you agree with that. Is that

37
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: a good thing? And what terms could you clarify that

38
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: a little bit in terms of context, just in terms

39
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: of productivity and Disney points, Well, look, I believe it's

40
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: a player's game. That's the way I've all we've seen

41
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: you talk a lot about. You know, really the offense

42
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: goes through the quarterback and you got to play to

43
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: your player's strengths. And you want you guys who go

44
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: out there and play aggressives. When you're dealing with a

45
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: number of guys in signal call or positions, whether it

46
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: be a quarterback of center, whoever it may be, guys

47
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: would experience. You want to know what they're comfable with.

48
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: You want to know what you have to help push

49
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: them through. But you've got to play the game the

50
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: way they see it. You can put in the greatest

51
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: playing in the world on paper, you go out there,

52
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: they're not comforable with it. You've got to make an

53
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: adjustment and move on to something else. So you learn

54
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: as you go through the process of you know what

55
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: players are and aren't comforable with, how you can tweak

56
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: it and help them play aggressive with it. But you

57
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: want to make sure that that open conversation that comes

58
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: down to really finding out you know with whatever we're doing,

59
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: that we're progressing at the rate that they can handle.

60
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: You see what's the role? You see what a great

61
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: thing is. You know, this year's a brand new year

62
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: and everyone has a clean slate and a fresh start.

63
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: You know, I love work with John who He's been

64
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: very productive so far what we've done. I'm excited to

65
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: see him getting the pads now going forward. He's got

66
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: a great energy and enthusiasm. He had a terrific offseason

67
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: for US. Very committed player and work very, very hard.

68
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: He's obviously put himself in a position physically and mentally

69
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: as far as how he's prepared to go out there

70
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: and really execute. So I'm excited to see him out

71
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: there and play well. I can't speak for anybody else.

72
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: I can't speak for anybody else. I think for every

73
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,559
Speaker 1: coach and every player. You know, the comfort grows with repetition.

74
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: You know, the comfort grows with doing it together over

75
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: and over and finding out how we're going to adjust

76
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: certain circumstances. You know what they really play aggressively with.

77
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: How do you deal with I'm not really aware about

78
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: it specifically what you're talking about. Um, you know, are

79
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: focused on all of our players. You know, obviously we

80
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: go in every day, we watch the tape. It's always

81
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: about correcting mistakes and making justice help us play faster

82
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: and more efficient the next time we're out in the field.

83
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: But in terms of you know, dealing with any player,

84
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: there's going to be you know, there's going to be

85
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: different emotions throughout a season. To me, as a coach's

86
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: important to stay right there, not ride a roller coaster.

87
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: You know, you want to make sure you know, this

88
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: is a league of extremes, right, That's just what it is,

89
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: the National Football League. It's one week you're the best,

90
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: one week you're the worst. That's as a player, that's

91
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: as a team, that's as a coach, that's whoever you are.

92
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: So you've got to make sure that you understand the

93
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: truth is on the tape and that you've got to

94
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: go ahead and keep that just very level. And if

95
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: you get in this you know, up and down wave

96
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: of emotions, you know, as an individual or a team,

97
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: it's too long of a season to sustain. So you've

98
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: got to always step back, you know, and just look

99
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: at what you have to do to correct it and

100
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: just keep it factual. What do we have to do

101
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: to work to get better, and then have a plan

102
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: of how we're gonna do that. So the streamlining, where

103
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: are you at all still building? I don't think there's

104
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: ever an endpoint to that. You know, you talked about

105
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: the process. The process is always ongoing. You're always willing

106
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: to make adjustments, you know, when necessary. Building a different

107
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: scheme or concept, pullback on something, whatever it may be. Uh.

108
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: In terms of where we're at again, I'd like to reiterate,

109
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, football is really just starting today. You know,

110
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: there's a number of things we've worked on fundamentally, conditioning wise,

111
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: terminology wise. Today's the first day we go out there

112
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: in pads, you know, so that's an important step for

113
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: us as a team, and we've got to go out

114
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: there make sure that first and foremost we coach our

115
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: players to play healthy. You know, the players safety is

116
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: the most important thing we have to go out there

117
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: today is they're putting on pads and make sure that

118
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: our guys can go out there and execut and operate,

119
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, in a safe manner. You know, that's gonna

120
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: be a big thing right there. But the first day

121
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: pad is always a fun day. It's always a lot

122
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: of juice on the field. But then you get back

123
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: in you watch the tape, and there's always a lot

124
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: of things fundamentally you've got to go out there and

125
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: correct and it's more to be an equally you know,

126
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: important day to come out here and repeat a lot

127
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: of things we did today and do them the right way.

128
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: I started from not square one, but when you went

129
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: to New York culture and you be likes talk to

130
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: you something about maybe this year this process that you

131
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: guys are going on beds. I think as a coach,

132
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: a teacher, or you know, anybody in a position like that,

133
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: you've got to always be learning, you know, otherwise you're

134
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: just wasting time. So I've learned something from every experience

135
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: I've had. The important thing is where I'm at right

136
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: now and what I do with any any gain knowledge,

137
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: and how I apply it going forward. You know, my

138
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: focus is one percent on twenty twenty two and the

139
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: Patriots and our players right now. But to answer your question, yeah,

140
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: you always learned on how I'm dealing with new players,

141
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: how to deal with different types of personalities. I think

142
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: one of the things as coaches we have to understand is,

143
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like days and confused. We

144
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: get older, they stay the same age, you know, like

145
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: the players. They're not getting older with us. You know,

146
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: they're still in the same age bracket. We get older.

147
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: You know, we've got to learn how different generations, you know,

148
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: what their interests are, what they react to, you know,

149
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: how they are personality wise. That's important for us to

150
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: stay up and current and do our research, especially in

151
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: the offseason. Talking a lot of experts, talking a lot

152
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: of teachers at you know, at the high school, the

153
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,559
Speaker 1: college level, coaches at those levels as well, because they're

154
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: dealing with the players in that age group, that generation

155
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: before we get them. So our best resources talking to

156
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: who are coaching these players before we get them in

157
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: process with the personalities the player. Well, I do the

158
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: best I can. I'm always looking to improof. I'd say

159
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: the thing that probably helps me in the most honestly

160
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: is I got a sixteen year old at home, has

161
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: got all the answers, so you know, I get a

162
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: little bit of engage in terms of, you know, what

163
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: he's interested in, what makes him laugh, what they're looking at,

164
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: what they're watching, And then I pay attention to, you know,

165
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: what my middle schoolers are doing as well. So between

166
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: that and then you know, talking to a lot of

167
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: college coaches and asking them how are you dealing with

168
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: some of the new rules and regulation of college football.

169
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: These are things that trickle up. You know, you start

170
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: dealing with transfer portals or nil and all stuff like

171
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: that's going to come to us pretty soon. So when

172
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: these rules happen. You know, I may not impact you

173
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: immediately from what's going on at a lower level, but

174
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: you have to understand that's coming to you soon, you know.

175
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: And it's not anybody's fault, it's just what it is.

176
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: You have to understand. Okay, what is the culture in

177
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: the dynamic being created, you know, within the sport as

178
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: a whole. Describe the relationship to you now, with as

179
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: much time with them as you know. Yeah, well, I

180
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: said earlier. You can never fast forward a relationship. You've

181
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: got to build on it day by day. And I

182
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: think it's the most important thing. So I come in

183
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: every day. I'm always myself. You know. The good thing

184
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: is he comes in, he's himself, so that makes a

185
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: little bit easier in terms of working together. And you know,

186
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: to me, it's all about open communication and talk with

187
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: each other and just making sure we're giving him what

188
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: he needs to be successful. And the good thing is

189
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: he's an intelligent player. He's a very hard worker, he's

190
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: very diligent. He knows what he likes, he's willing to

191
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: tell you. But he's also willing to try anything, you know,

192
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: if it's best for the team. So it's been fun

193
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: to work with. I guess about how well. The one

194
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: thing about being a teachers you've got to learn exactly

195
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: about how everybody in the classroom learns, right, So for us,

196
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: you know, some guys are more visual learners, some guys

197
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: more auditory where you can sit there and almost just

198
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: describe it and lecture and they're good. A lot of

199
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: guys have to get there on their feet and do it.

200
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: You know, I think you know, Max got an ability

201
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: to do all three. You know, he's got an ability

202
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: to hear something, conceptualize it pretty fast. Think he is

203
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: an ability to see an example, understand how it's going

204
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: to play out in different situations. And then but one

205
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: thing that's very good is you know he applies his experience, walkthroughs, practice,

206
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, and you can see, you know

207
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: that he moves on and progresses and can correct and

208
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: adjust issues before they become an issue pre snap. So

209
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: that's been good to watch. Thank you all right, Thanks guys,

210
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: appreciate you
