1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: All right, Bill, with the trade deadline today, what is

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Nick Casario related to you just about what the landscape

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: is like around the NFL from his discussions with other

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: teams in terms of just like the COVID and has

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: that affected you know, what would normally be the talks

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: of the deadline. Oh, yeah, I'm not sure about the COVID,

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Mike U to get have to ask each team that question,

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: don't I don't really know. Um, I don't think that

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: would come up in a conversation like we are we

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: aren't doing something because of COVID. I let's say it's yeah,

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: it's probably that's the same as what it normally is.

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: Is it too early to say for you guys, if

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: you envision any movement, whether it's acquiring a player or

14
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: treating a player, Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't

15
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: know at this point. Um. With that Carl Davis, that

16
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: sort of seems very unfortunate to sign him off the

17
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: practice squad and hardly get to see him based on

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, his injury with Carl, is this a situation

19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: but where it looks like a long term thing or

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,919
Speaker 1: that there's maybe some optimism that you'll get a longer

21
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: look at him on the practice field here coming up. Yeah,

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: that's a good question. Um, I think you've articulated the

23
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: situation accurately and we'll just have to see. I mean,

24
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: we we've brought him in so that we could look

25
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: at him, but that's been very very brief. Um, So

26
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: what do we like to be able to do that? Yes, well,

27
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: we'll be able to do that. I don't know. And

28
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: m last two weeks we've seeing Tayshawn Bauer play after

29
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: getting elevated from the practice squad. Um, what has he

30
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: shown you in the opportunity that he's had in game action? Yeah, well,

31
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: Tayshawn's a you know, hard working kid. It's tough. Um.

32
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: He showed some Um, showed a lot of competitives and toughness. Um. Yeah,

33
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: there's certainly things for for him to work on, like

34
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: any young player, but he did some positive things. So

35
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: it's good to good to be able to get him

36
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: a little bit of experience. And my last one Bill,

37
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: Bill Murray on the practice squad William and Mary kid Um,

38
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: what have you seen from his development in terms of

39
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 1: the first day you got him into Now, obviously that's

40
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: a probably a pretty big jump there. That he's trying

41
00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: to make. Yeah, for sure, Um, well Bill, Bill worked

42
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: hard and and you know, performed well enough to be

43
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. He then he missed a couple

44
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: of weeks, so that that didn't um help his development.

45
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: But he's been back now and is tracking back to

46
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: where he was prior to that miss time. So um,

47
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: I'll just just keep going. But you know he's he's smart,

48
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: he works hard, and he's definitely gotten better. Next question

49
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Jim McBride, followed by Henry McKinnon, Good morning, coach. Just

50
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: wanted to kind of get back to the trade deadline

51
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 1: and ask you what what today is kind of liked

52
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: you between balancing, you know, preparing for the Jets and

53
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: maybe frequent conversations with Nick about teams that are calling you.

54
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean you know again like like a

55
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of things, uh, in this general subject,

56
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot more talk than there is action. So

57
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: you know Nick would summarize or has summarized kind of

58
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: you know generally what you know he feels is going on.

59
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: You know, there may be other avenues of information that

60
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: we have from one source or another or conversation, whether

61
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: that's myself or an assistant coach or whoever. And so

62
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: we kind of put that together and determine the level

63
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: of interest we would have in talking to somebody else

64
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: or not. And I'd say those things kind of Sometimes

65
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: they as I said before, they seem like they're imminent

66
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: and they never happen. Sometimes it seems like this is

67
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: really a dead issue. We're not interested, they're not interested

68
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: based on the conversation, and then in a short amount

69
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: of time, something changes and all of a sudden, there's

70
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: there's a conversation that's on the table, or there's a

71
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: transaction that occurs, and it goes from not happening to happening,

72
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: or vice versa. It goes from it looks like the

73
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: ball is going to roll into the cup and then

74
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: at the last second it spends out, and so you know,

75
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: you just have to take it as it comes and

76
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: and see and sometimes again at a time like this,

77
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: sometimes you know a team could be involved in a

78
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: trade and maybe feel like, okay, we can trade this player,

79
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: and then you know, you find out that maybe a

80
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: player at his position is going to be out for

81
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and then it falls through, or

82
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, vice versa. You you think that you don't

83
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: have anybody available, and then all of a sudden, maybe

84
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the team makes a different trade or something else happens

85
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: and then they do have a player available. So it

86
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: really is a little bit unpredictable. But you know, something

87
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: were to come up during the day, then Nick, would

88
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, grab me and we discuss it and you know,

89
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: let's talk to you know, Robert or you know, the

90
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: position coach or somebody that might have information on the subject.

91
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: Then that would that will probably be the next step.

92
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: Thank you, Yeah, Well, next question Henry mckinnef all by

93
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: Phil Perry, Morning Bill Um. He spoke a little bit

94
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: about the salary cap binds coming into twenty twenty, But

95
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: how much does UM your your salary cap situation in

96
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and figure into this trade deadline because

97
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: you guys are projected to have some of the most

98
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: cap space in the NFL in um, what could be

99
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: sort of a tight market with COVID impacting how much

100
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: money the league has with with the salary cap going down,

101
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: So are you thinking about maybe trying to preserve that

102
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: position of power that you guys have at deadline or

103
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: how is that at play? Yeah, that's um, you know,

104
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: it's it's a definitely an accurate perspective that you've identified.

105
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: And and when you're looking at um salary cap and

106
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: player salaries and things like that, you just can't look

107
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: at it. And you know in a short term window

108
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: you have to at some point you have to take

109
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: a longer look at things. So, um, you know, we

110
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: would take those those things that you mentioned in the

111
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: consideration and as we look at our team currently, as

112
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: we look at any potential acquisitions or any transactions with

113
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: our players, that we'd have to keep an eye on

114
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: all those things. And I think you've really articulated it

115
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: pretty pretty well. That's you know, those are those all

116
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: considerations that you have to be aware of if if

117
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: you got into any discussions like that. So I guess

118
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: the answer is you just you still try to do

119
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: what's best for your team and trying to balance all

120
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: those out. I don't think you know, anything would preclude

121
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: a transaction from happening or not happening, but you know,

122
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: you'd have to be aware of all those things and

123
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: and again try to make the best decision both long

124
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: term and shore term for your team. And there may

125
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: be one thing that you know overrides another. But in

126
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: the end, that's what the decision would be would be,

127
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, how much does it help us now? Is

128
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: our cost in the future and what is that cost

129
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: and so forth? So um or what would that gain

130
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: be if the trade, you know, if you were trading

131
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: player ways depends on whether you're bringing one in or

132
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: one's going out. So there are some there are some

133
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: implications that that we would work through on the financial

134
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: side with our the people that you know handle that

135
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: that information and not just again currently but you know,

136
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: over the coming years. So it would really be a yeah, conversation,

137
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: it would look at all those aspects of it. Thank

138
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: you that Christian phil Perry Fall they dug kai they built.

139
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: How much, if at all, do you weigh the potential

140
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: impact on the locker room or the players you have

141
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: on your roster when considering trading player of a way,

142
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: Is that at all part of the equation when you're

143
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: thinking about these types of motions. Sure, the composition your

144
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: team is is definitely important, I guess not even necessarily

145
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: the composition of the team, but maybe even like if

146
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: there's any sort of emotional impact on the team. Obviously

147
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: traded players away in the past. But I'm just curious,

148
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: I guess if that is a factor at all for you. Well,

149
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: it's it's certainly something that is going to come up

150
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: if if you were to do that. I mean, it

151
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: would come up immediately to come up with the vaccign

152
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: of teams together, so you know you have to address

153
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: it in some fashion. So does it have an impact,

154
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it would have some certainly in

155
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: the management of the team. Would ultimately affect the decision

156
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: to trade or not trade, or acquire or not acquire.

157
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I don't know. I guess it could.

158
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: That was it was big enough. It's like the final

159
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: two questions will be Doug Kai, followed by Chris Ryan.

160
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: How much progress have you seen from Jake Delagala since

161
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: he's been on the practice squad? Um, well, a lot

162
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: in terms of you know, learning, learning a new system

163
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: and you know, getting acclimated to the way we do

164
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: things and the way we call plays and so forth. Um,

165
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: so yeah, that's you know, that's all been good. He said.

166
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: Some opportunities to you know, participate in certain aspects of

167
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: practice and and so you know those are good evaluation

168
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: tools too. But it's not really the same as being

169
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: able to run our offense, and there's they're limited some

170
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: but opportunities for that. So but yeah, Jase, you know

171
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: Jake smart, He works hard, and he spends a lot

172
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: of extra time here and very willing to do whatever

173
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: we need to do to help our team in a

174
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: practice field or walk through or any of the situation

175
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: he's involved in. So I'm glad we have it's done

176
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: a good job for us. Ask question me, Chris Ryan Warner, Bill, Um,

177
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about j C. Jackson and

178
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: just your evaluation of how he has evolved and where

179
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: he is at right now. Well, Jase's gotten better every year. Um.

180
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: He's worked hard to improve his techniques and fundamentals and

181
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: leverage and tackling, and I think those things have all

182
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: shown up at times this year. UM. So like all

183
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: of us, you know, working for a little more consistency.

184
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: But um, Jase's you know, shown that he can be

185
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: competitive against and every sever he's had a chance to

186
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: cover so far in his career. So that's a good thing.

187
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: Jason mccordy described him as a number one UH cover

188
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: guy yesterday, and I'm curious what specific attributes do you

189
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: look for in a quote unquote number one UM quarterback.

190
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's that's a hard question answer. It's really

191
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: it's the total of what it's the summation of the player.

192
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: All the things that are important to that position, UM

193
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: are evaluated. Not not every player is even the good

194
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: ones are the great ones, and not every player is

195
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: a lead in every single thing. Some things are they

196
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: do maybe better than others, and so you know, you

197
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: just have to depending on what you're doing, which type

198
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: of scheme you're running, you know, how you're how you're

199
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: if you're in man coverage a lot, how you're matching

200
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: up the man coverages, or what what you need him

201
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: to do. UM, yeah, then you're evaluate being based on that.

202
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: But it's you know, it's hard to find, you know,

203
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: guys that are just elited everything. But sometimes they were.

204
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: They were elited you know, two or three things, and

205
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: that's certainly a great place to build on. Thanks more welcome,

206
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: Thank your coach. Thanks everyone,
