1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Finishing up here with our prep with normal Friday. We 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: have four same four guys, limited as they were last 3 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: couple of days, and we'll just try to take it 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: right up to game time, as long as we can 5 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: to see who's going to be active and WHO's not 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: going to be active. So that'll be really the next 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: forty hours, if peop will let it go, as long 8 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: as we can let it go. Um. So with that, 9 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: you guys open the questions. What do you need to 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: see from guys like cave on and a Zase in 11 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: order for them to be ready? I just need to 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: see him be able to do the things that they 13 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: need to do, you know, without the pads on the 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: movement skills, holding the edge. You know. You if we 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: have to work them out before the game, we'll work 16 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: them out before the game. If, if that's something we 17 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: need to do. Um. So we're gonna give them as 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: long as they can to see if they are ready 19 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: to go. Right. Is that decision? Your decision? What I 20 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: mean by that? Is it you, what you see, or 21 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: is it what Ronnie Barneses? It's probably it's collective. It's collective. 22 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: I think that you have to put the player's health 23 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: and safety first and foremost. So lean on Ronnie, but 24 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: you know, also have to see him do some things 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: out in the field, whether that's a workout before the 26 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: game or not. And you know, if they're ready to go, 27 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: they'll be ready. If not, the other guys will. Have 28 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: they opened it up yet? And they you know, uh, 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: they're still whatever we've asked them do in the rehab process. 30 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: They've they've been doing Um, I don't think there's any 31 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: setbacks with that. So again, we'll give him a couple 32 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: of days here to figure that out. Angel Evan get ancient, 33 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: is devery your guy off the sideline? We have? We 34 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: have a few candidates for that. Debris. One of them, yeah, debris, 35 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: one of them. Have you decided to your left guarded? 36 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: We'll let it. We'll let it go here again today. 37 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: I think both those guys, you know, reticent and Zoo, 38 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: who have done a good job all week. Um, so 39 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: we'll we'll practice today, we'll reconvene tomorrow morning with the 40 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: coaching staff and a bunch of practice today then decide 41 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: which way to go with it. How much does Josh's 42 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: lack of experience factor and being a rookie didn't get 43 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: a lot of snaps in the preseason? Um, we we don't. 44 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: We don't talk about it like that, Dan. We just 45 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: you know, these guys have gone out here in the 46 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: last couple of days, three days, and make sure they 47 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: know what to do. Um abtoually, he didn't play a 48 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: lot in the preseason, but a lot of guys didn't 49 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: probably out. I know he's a rookie, but he did 50 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: a good job for us up until the point he 51 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: kind of got dinged Um, but he's he's practiced well 52 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: these last few days. Overall, with your offensive line, I 53 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: mean that five guys didn't get to play a lot 54 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: together because the injuries in one night. And it's a 55 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: pretty good defensive line you're facing. Yeah, they usually are 56 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: every week and this week is, you know, a big challenge. 57 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: But with with John, you know, playing center, and you 58 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: know the two tackles have been out there and glow 59 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: has been out there. So you know, four of the 60 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: guys have been out there a lot and the other 61 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: two guys have again to dance question. I know Zudu 62 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: hasn't been out there a ton, but you know he 63 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: knows what to do. You know rettisson knows what to 64 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: do so. Um, that's why we work all the combinations 65 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: we do in training camp with Belton. He's in the 66 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: Red Jersey. Is that just a matter if you need 67 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: to get clear for contact and then he's good to go? No, 68 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: we just if if guys are I don't want the 69 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: guy to take an unnecessary shot from anybody. So it's 70 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: more of a precaution than anything else. They were saying, uh, yeah, he's, he's. 71 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see, we'll we'll see. Um, I'm just 72 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: keeping him in a Red Jersey for precaution to what 73 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: what's your philosophy on if you rule guys out on 74 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: a Friday, will you still bring them on road trips 75 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: and when it comes to that, wanting these guys to 76 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: be with you on the team? Yeah, probably, probably, we're 77 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: gonna we're bringing everybody uh this week, because we're gonna 78 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: let it go as long as we can let it 79 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: go to but uh, most likely, if guys were ruled 80 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: out prior to the trip, unless it's more an advantageous 81 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: to stay here and get Rehab and that helps them 82 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: a little bit more. But for the most part we'll 83 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: try to take them and in one of both practice 84 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: walkers like if those guys can't play. Have a season 85 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: like quincy, you probably have to go after your pranks, 86 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: elect practice part guys or how do you deal with that? Yeah, 87 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: I'd say select. I'd say select guys that we think 88 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: that have a chance that we brought up. Um, we'll 89 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: bring with us on the trip. Right in the way 90 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: that you had shorter practices this week. Is that going 91 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: to be your norm or you just doing that this 92 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: week because you're keeping guys healthy? Like, what do you like? 93 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: Like shorter than you're a lotted time. Like it'll say 94 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: you're practicing twel thirty or two thirty, and then you 95 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: guys will come off the field of two oh five. 96 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: I got you. I think it just depends on how 97 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: we're we're practicing. Um, in the team periods, I always 98 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: a lot for a little bit of more time in 99 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: case we need to re you know, Redo another play 100 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: or have a repeat, but it's it's the schedule that 101 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: we you is is really consistent with where I was 102 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: the last four years. That has been a good schedule 103 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: for the players. Um, I maybe give a little bit 104 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: more time in those periods just to if we need 105 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: to repeat. You know, so if it's I put eight minutes, 106 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: maybe we get done in six minutes, but I still 107 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: have time to hey, let's repeat play number two or 108 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: let's do this one again. Um, I could cut it. 109 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: I could cut it down a little bit in terms 110 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: of the minutes and maybe it hits, but I'd rather 111 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: just air on the safe side for repeats, if you will. 112 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: Seek one has carried her at a pretty big chip 113 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: on his shoulder all off season. You like that in 114 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: a guy? I like the guy to be himself. I 115 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: mean I want them to feel comfortable with how they 116 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: are on the field. How are they off the field? Again, 117 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: what motivates one player is different than motivates another player. 118 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: All I ask those guys to do is come in, 119 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: work hard, be a good teammate, learned the system and 120 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: he's he's done all that. You and Joe, he's like blocks. 121 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: That for everything you guys have done, but you aasly 122 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: have different roles. So when there's like a business decision 123 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: like say Darius son, make it like hypothetical, do you 124 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: just let Joe Handle it and you're just working? What? 125 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: I'M NOT gonna make it hypothetically. Do you just like 126 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: that Joe's lane, or do you have to talk to Darius, 127 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: because I mean that there's a feelings involving you know. Yeah, absolutely, 128 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: I think we try to communicate with all our players, 129 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: whether it's football business. Um, you know, we all have 130 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: roles in the organization, but Joe and I talk, you know, 131 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: a lot more than I probably talked to my wife 132 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: during the day. So, you know, we're in lockstep with, 133 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, the decisions that we make and we communicate 134 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: on a lot of different things. And again, it is 135 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: a people business too. So if something like that happens 136 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: in that situation, I certainly, Um, we'll talk to the 137 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: player too. Right, I know it's not a not a 138 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: carbon copy of what you did last year, but was 139 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: there anything that you saw them last night that you 140 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: could use as a teaching tool for this fruit if 141 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: you're offense, to year now that you got to see 142 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: what Buffalo did? Yeah, I wouldn't say necessarily the offense, 143 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: but always it's it's good too to be able to 144 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: watch those first Games where you're actually playing for you know, 145 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: full sixty minutes, everybody's playing and and just coach off 146 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: of some of the things that I think. What were 147 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: there seven turnovers last night? Forward's four. So I mean 148 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: that's usually the early part of the year. There's guys 149 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: out there that haven't played a lot in the preseason 150 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: that you know, we're getting tackled now or the balls stripped, 151 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: and I think there's good learning tools to teach your 152 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: team Um, regardless of whatever areas at or who's playing. 153 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: You're a pretty funny story at Your intro press conference 154 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: about how your wife watched your first press conference in 155 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: Cleveland and that you're not yourself in this. You remember this, 156 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: you know I remember it. What does she think about 157 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: you as a head coach like? Does she feel like 158 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: you're acting like yourself, like? What's been her opinion of 159 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: you being comfortable in your new role? I didn't. I 160 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: haven't asked her U. No, I mean she said to 161 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: take out the trash and make sure the kids are 162 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: brushing their teeth and, you know, certain things like that, 163 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: but I haven't. He hasn't volunteered any feedback. The first 164 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: one she was on me pretty good. Wink is obviously 165 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: a very established defensive coordinator, sure, but you worked with 166 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: Belichick en Saban, who maybe considered too of the defensive 167 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: genius minds and that in football. Did he try to 168 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: pick your brain about those two at all when you 169 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: guys got together, as he mentioned them at all?

There's I don't think yet. No, I don't 193 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: turn it off nor until yeah, I haven't. I have 194 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: this book and if there's something I need to kind 195 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: of go back and refresh or grab somebody to talk on. 196 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: I'd like to say the Haze in the barn here 197 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: after a Friday practice for the players, but for myself 198 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: there's just so many situations that I try to go 199 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: over my head over and over again so if it happens, 200 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: Um that I'm as ready as I can be. This 201 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: is your first go around right to enter the spring, uh, 202 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: the summer, preseason, everything. What do you see that makes 203 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: you think that your team is ready for the regular 204 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: season now? Well, I just say they they've worked extremely hard. Um, 205 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: they've they've picked up, you know, the offensive, defensive kicking 206 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: game is is fairly similar. They come out here, they 207 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: give every day in practice. I think they learn from 208 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: their mistakes. I don't think you ever really know, no 209 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: matter where I've been, you know how opening day is 210 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: gonna go, whether it's been a team that's don't won 211 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: a super bowl or a team that hasn't won many games. 212 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: I think you do your best job to prepare the players, 213 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: both mentally and physically, Um and do everything you can 214 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: do to to go out there and put your best 215 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: foot forward and then go play a good game and 216 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: not focus on, well, what if this happened or this 217 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: bad play happened? Just be very positive in your approach, 218 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: be real and go out there and trust your preparation.
