00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: couple of practices, just where Tyran's nantives this week and

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: your optimism and lay your return Sunday. Tyrants taking all

8
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: the reps both Wednesday and Thursday's practice. Uh it'll be

9
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: you know full today would be his classification, So I

10
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 1: look for him to stay right on schedule and uh

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: be available Sunday and would be the goal. Oh job,

12
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: I gave you tiring, Clarence. I'm not gonna give you Tony.

13
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: So he took all his reps yesterday, So I'll definitely

14
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: play on offense like you talked to us about the lady.

15
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: And adjust to the schedule, Becausiness, how does your schedule

16
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: look this weekend? Leading in few years? And then we

17
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: will stay in the virtual mode. We'll be in virtual today,

18
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: so you know, the players will finish the meetings and

19
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: come in for the mock game, and then tomorrow we'll

20
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: stay in the virtual meeting space and then just start

21
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: a little later with the launch practice Mike with tiring

22
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: in the time that he's missed not only here lately,

23
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: but the games early in year. When he comes back

24
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: to you give him a whole load and you're kind

25
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: of work him in and can I don't know if

26
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: you continue a rotation or you just kind of pick

27
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: up where you left off with it. Really just want

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: to watch the full weeks you know, full week's work. Well,

29
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, make those decisions. And frankly, that's part of

30
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: the design of the coordinator's meeting on Saturday, So we

31
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: feel usually by Saturday when we get there and that's

32
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: that's when we try to finalize the playtime for Sunday.

33
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of the primary conversations of the

34
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: coordinator's meetings. So that'll be the case this week. And

35
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: you mentioned a couple of times the crowd, especially last week. Yeah,

36
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. What was your when you coached against the

37
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys in that stadium? What were your thoughts in the

38
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: crowd and you think it was a difficult place to play? Um, No,

39
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, because I think I think

40
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: what happens is you know, this is such an attractive

41
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: place to come so I think that the opponent, you know,

42
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: ever how they do it or able to get tickets. Um,

43
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: but you know, the same breath, you know. I think

44
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: anytime an opposing team has a lot of fans in

45
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: the stadium, it makes the home crowd better too. So

46
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: I think it's I would say it made for a

47
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: great environment to play in anytime I've played at AT

48
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: and T, but I never felt that, you know, the

49
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: noise was a huge factor as an opponent. So but

50
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: it's always been a great environment, a great competitive environment. Uh,

51
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. We're all minute ago. I think

52
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: a special teams to to your to your teams Janui

53
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: the Persson and last years, oh definitely. I mean that's

54
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: it was a big part of hire John Fossil and

55
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: just part of the vision of you know, football team.

56
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: And we've been talking about complimentary football since day one,

57
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: and I think you see it come together this year

58
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: with with everybody contributing. So I mean, you know, if

59
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: you look out throughout our season, and we need to

60
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: continue to grow this because you know, this is when

61
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna need it more than ever. You know, the

62
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: these these January games and these playoff games, is you know,

63
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: be able to make plays that can win games. And

64
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: you know we've been doing that on special teams and

65
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: John and the players have done a you know, tremendous job.

66
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: And I think any time you have personnel change, particularly

67
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: on your forty eight man Dave roster um special teams

68
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: is the biggest challenge, and I think John has navigated

69
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: that very well. That's told this yesterday that you'll be

70
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: more of hope and moving forward to family opportunities given

71
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: just being a back stretch of the season, Is that

72
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: afflicts rays you They file the follower ahead of just

73
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: maybe be more willing to tap into that mobility than

74
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: you were at the start of the season. Well, I think,

75
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, to give you a clear answer, I think

76
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: it depends on exactly what you're talking about. I mean,

77
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: if it's as far as the scramble phase, you know,

78
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: we definitely want them scrambling. I mean that's you know,

79
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: that was an emphasis for our offense moving forward, not

80
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: only just for the quarterback, but for the protection and

81
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: in a perimeter, just the opportunities for big plays. I mean,

82
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, there's always been a big part of this offense. Um.

83
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: You know, from a quarterback standpoint, you know, play extension

84
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: is something that generates a big play opportunity, and you know,

85
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: so it's something we've put a lot of training in.

86
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: So I think that does a very good job of that,

87
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: and we can continue to work that. I mean, you've

88
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: you've seen this work in practice, you know, starting last

89
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: year and and even more so this year with the

90
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: scramble drill emphasis. So I mean, so that part of it,

91
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, whether it happens more, I mean, that's you know,

92
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: that's that's why you play the games, you know, But

93
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: as far as you know schematically and the other things

94
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: like that, you know, that's all part of game planning

95
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: and all part of direction. But yeah, definitely, I mean

96
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: he's he's obviously a weapon in the pocket, in a

97
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: weapon out of the pocket, and you know, we'll just

98
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 1: continue to play with that mindset. I'm sorry, Oh, okay

99
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: again the old we talked about all the key players

100
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: you've kind of gotten back in the stretch and your health.

101
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: Is this as healthy as you've been as an overall

102
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: team this late a season and really intending your couraging

103
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: tender in the NFL. UM Yeah, I mean probably, I

104
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: mean definitely. I think the biggest thing the way I

105
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: look at it is, you know, how competitive is it

106
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: to be up on a forty eight? And that's that's

107
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, that's a great position to be in as

108
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: a head coach. You know, it's it's a tough one

109
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: because when you're sitting down healthy players, um, you know,

110
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: that's you know, it's tough on those guys. But the

111
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: fact that you're not, you know, because I've been on

112
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: the other side of it. You know, I've been I've

113
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: gone through weeks where you only had forty two healthy

114
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: guys and you're you don't you don't know who the

115
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: last four or five guys going to be. So but

116
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: this is definitely the position you want to be in

117
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: because you want the competition during the week and even

118
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: with the COVID challenge that we're having, we're we've been

119
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: you know, so far been able to stay above that line.

120
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: So uh and I think it's it's very very healthy

121
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: for you. So yeah, this is this is an excellent

122
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: position to being We asked you on yesterday, how quickly

123
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: help comfortable as a defensive back puts to you that transition?

124
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: And he said he still doesn't it and wonders how

125
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: will take you? How in your experience when you transition

126
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: the player compositions position, what is that process like and

127
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: what is it replect about his humility? That is speaking

128
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: like that sight needs happen. Well, I think, you know,

129
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 1: just the biggest thing is, you know, it's a process.

130
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there's always a reason why you make a

131
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: change in an adjustment. So I mean it's for the

132
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: ability to create plays and to be part of a

133
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, a bigger picture, you know, as far as

134
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: what packages you're in. So but yeah, I think it

135
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: speaks volume about the individual and and I think clearly, um,

136
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: there has to be some patience because you know, there's

137
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: there's different disciplines this you know, the spacing that you're in,

138
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, the angles of the blockers and the drops

139
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: are a bit different. So it's definitely something that takes,

140
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, takes an adjustment relationship. Mike, this season, you

141
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: didn't coach against this guy that year, but Jeron Cursys

142
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: chasing his records. You remember anything about Javon's season there

143
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Oh yeah, well he definitely was you know

144
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: someone and uh, you know, you were focused on. We

145
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: actually played those guys in the preseason every year back then,

146
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: and they played the fourth game like it was there,

147
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, was their warm up. So unfortunately I did

148
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: get to see a lot of them and especially uh,

149
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, in some tough matchups. But uh, yeah, I

150
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: just think, like anything, you know, when when when you

151
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: have a unique player that comes on, you know, in

152
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: their first time and their first you know, there's there's

153
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: there's a newness to it. And you know, one thing

154
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: about this league, if you do something really well, uh,

155
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: people are going to spend extra time to try to

156
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, take that away from you. So you know,

157
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: and I think, you know the other part that is,

158
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, success is very hard to attain in this league,

159
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: but sustain success is something that is clearly the toughest.

160
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's a lot in my opinion, whether

161
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: it's you know, as an individual or you know, as

162
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 1: a football team. Six sixtain success in NFL is a

163
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: huge challenge. So you know, and that's something I think

164
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: when you look at these great players that have you know, ten, twelve,

165
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: fourteen plus years and you're able to play at the

166
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl level at that you know that long that high.

167
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's it's just, uh, it's incredible.

168
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if you you know, you play ten plus

169
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: years in this league, you know there's you're you're you're

170
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: you're a special You're a special player. So um, so

171
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: I think with that, you know, when you come on

172
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: the scene like these guys do, um, it's definitely eye opening,

173
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: and you know it takes everybody by notice, and you know,

174
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: in in in Mike's particular case, I think this is

175
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: something that'll be challenged with the rest of his career. Mine,

176
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: will you be awake at midnight to night and not

177
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: before you're being well? Number one? I hope not. And

178
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: uh but I will not be practicing when I'm preaching,

179
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: so um but uh no, I don't think I'll make

180
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: it to midnight. You know, but um, what would I

181
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: be doing. I'll be obviously, uh being entertained by a

182
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: ten year old and a thirteen year old if I

183
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: was up at midnight. And so that's the extent of

184
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: my late night social life. Clarence, you're gonna be up

185
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: at midnight. That's the beginning of a social life. There

00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: you go, there you go. I'll touch you right now.
