1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: Look, we kind of talked yesterday about the start of 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: training campop was, We're gonna continue today day two. We're 3 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: still in helmets and shorts, thank you. We're in helmets 4 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: and shorts right there.

Continue out of 6 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: progression right there and again right now. We're still focusing 7 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: on really the fundamentals, the communication, getting our guys in 8 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: football shape, so at being set up, and many questions 9 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: I could ask for you, coach, I gotta ask you, 10 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin. We saw what happened yesterday. You made some 11 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: comments to metings, certain members and media last night about 12 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: not getting fish out. What exactly it happened, if you 13 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: could get into a little bit of the Kelvin Yeah, looks, 14 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go in any specific situation with a player. 15 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: I'm always have respect for the player anything we share 16 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: between the player and the coach. And then obviously Dave, 17 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: you know we're gonna keep between us right there. So 18 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure that you know I respect anything 19 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: that we say in confidentiality, and we talked directly with them. 20 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: That being said, guys, the thirty two teams make roster 21 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: moves every day. This is really no different. Uh. We 22 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: decided to make a move that we thought it was 23 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: best for the team, and that's gonna be the category 24 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: that falls in any move we make, we're gonna lose. 25 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: Make selection that's best for the team. I wish him well. 26 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: I wish him best of luck going forward. Uh, Noel 27 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: will and I hope you have success. One reactively before 28 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 1: where he said that you were to know it all 29 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: who cusses all the time? Like I kind of made 30 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: a person the cussing part. I mean, look, I got 31 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: some colorful language at times. So I think you're out 32 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: of practice. You watch you guys can figure that out. Listen. 33 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: I know how to clean up the right time too. 34 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: I don't curse in front of you know, my wife, 35 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: not gonna curse in front of your kids. Your wife, 36 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: grandmother's my mother. Whatever it is to be honestly, I 37 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: can't specifically tell you exactly what it is, but it's 38 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: a little bit different when you're out there kind of 39 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: heat of the moment. In practice teaching, sometimes colorful language happens. Uh. 40 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: You know, one thing I do have is a rule here. 41 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: You know, we're never gonna attack anybody personally. So there's 42 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: certain things and maybe cuss words. We're never gonna direct 43 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: at a player. So there are certain times you have 44 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: to use something for emphasis or something comes out because 45 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: a certain amount of energy you have on the field 46 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: of the time. However, we're never gonna attack any player personally. No, 47 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: I don't care if you say that as a cuss 48 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: war or anything else. We're never gonna be like we're 49 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: always coaching mistakes, were correcting the position, all right, and 50 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: we're helping the person. We're never attacking a person direct. Yo, 51 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: thirty two teams make ross. You don't usually see a 52 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: scene like that. Do you wish that was handled differently 53 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: in your communication before you? Guys got out in the 54 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: field yesterday. Look, sometimes things happen a certain way. You 55 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: just gotta keep on going. So everyone makes moves in 56 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: different ways. Things happen in different circumstances. I'm not gonna 57 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: over analyze the dissect with what happens specifically yesterday or 58 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: anyone move. Things happen differently all the time, So guys, 59 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: it is what it is. Again. I wish him well, um, 60 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: you know, hopes him to do well somewhere else. How 61 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: do you think the offense, I guess today, Yeah, I 62 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of positive to build off. You know. 63 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: With day one, you know, the first thing I stuck 64 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: out was our players in condition they were in you know, 65 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: our guys would move around well yesterday they responded to 66 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: the training regiment. Is a much different look than we 67 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: had last year, to be honest with you, you know, 68 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: last year, day one, we had a lot of guys 69 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: that were, you know, further behind physically than they are 70 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: right now. And I think that's just for a lot 71 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: of guys that's being in the system for a year 72 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: and understanding, you know, what we have to do day 73 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: and day out in terms of practice and how we 74 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: want to train to play in the games. I think 75 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: for the new guys coming in, we've done a good 76 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: job explained to them and getting them incorporated through the 77 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: spring and their summer training of what they're expected to 78 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: do and make sure they come out here. I was 79 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: really proud of the conditioning part of the test. The 80 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: way the guys came out. Everyone made it, and that 81 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: definitely cared every day one the last year, your first 82 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: year with him and how much better can he be, 83 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: you know, in this system for a second year, when 84 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: you know how much you know, what's what's the seeing. 85 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: One thing every player can approve every day, and one 86 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: thing I'll say from Evan that I've always noticed him 87 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: from day one is this guy comes to work and 88 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: he does everything that's asked him. He does with a 89 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: positive attitude and he always puts a team first. He's 90 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: a guy we have a lot of expectations for internally. Uh. 91 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: He's a guy that we're relying for a lot of things. 92 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: He brings a lot of leadership to our team. He's 93 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: a positive attitude guy. He's someone that the team knows 94 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: that through how he works and prepares, they can rely on. 95 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: He's been a positive influence in our locker room. I'm 96 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: excited to have him on the field. He's a guy 97 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: that comes out every day and just improves a little 98 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: bit every day. And right now, it's we're asking from 99 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: all of our players. So in terms any kind of 100 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: projections or sitting as the worst someone can be, we 101 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: we can all do our jobs better, can always make 102 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: sure that we help each other along the way. It's 103 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: our job getting information and guidance that they can take 104 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: that next step. And that's for every player because he's 105 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: so obviously so talented, the skill set, it's he seems 106 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: to be a lightning rod here. The fans feel like 107 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: they always want more out of him. Is that if 108 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: you sense that external pressure out there because of you know, 109 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: his talent level. And I think there's always external pressure 110 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: and external you know, expectations. We have to keep our 111 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: focus very narrow and keep it on the present. You know, 112 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: we can't do anything about six months from now. We've 113 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: got a day by day. So the expectations that come 114 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: to work every day. Do your job best you can, 115 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: must be detailing how we work. Let's put the team first. 116 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: About I guess eleven months ago, if you get work guests, 117 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: you know is gonna be out. You know, you know, 118 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: your first ten games in your career, the first ten 119 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: games of his career. You know what's your insue? Yes, 120 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: I mean I know you move on in you know, 121 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: but it's it's a down or is it? Well, the 122 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: first thing is you hate it for the player. You 123 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: genuinely feel bad for any player when they get hurt. 124 00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: All right, we want to make sure we always put 125 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: our players in every position to be safe and stay 126 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: on the field. I know how much it means to him. 127 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: He's a guy that definitely loves the game that comes out. 128 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: He works extremely hard. Uh, he's very tenement meetings. He's 129 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: a great communicator with us in terms of what he 130 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: does and doesn't understand when he's more help with He 131 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: was really having a good day of practice the day 132 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: he got hurt. So, you know, for us, when you 133 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: get that news, you see him go down, you don't 134 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: know exactly where it's at. Initially, you kind of move 135 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: on through practice and we have to make some adjustments. 136 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: From the back of your mind, you are thinking about 137 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: that player and where that's going to go. You know, 138 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: our focus really went right away and we found out 139 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: that he was gonna be out for a duration of Okay, 140 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: what can we do to help him along the way? 141 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: Which you can't have is put someone on a back 142 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: burner and think when they come back, we'll go and 143 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: start all over with him. So for us to focus 144 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: for day was just keep him moving every day. He'll 145 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: do physically what he can do with the trainers and 146 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: strength coaches. Mentally, as coaches, we have to keep him involved. 147 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: That includes extra meetings. UH, some of the virtual meetings 148 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: where guys are a little bit more on their feet 149 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: and walking around and kind of getting some of the 150 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: things simulated. But we teach in different ways, so we 151 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: don't always teach sitting in a chair, but want to 152 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: make sure we can simulate as much as we can 153 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: for him and keep him progressing. And he a great 154 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: job that we gave him the Simmons last year in 155 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: terms of the other opponents kind of giving a preview 156 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: on personnel and some scheme based things, and that really 157 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: helps grow the player and their understanding of the opponent 158 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: and then how they have to just shape their thinking 159 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: around getting ready for a game and changes every week. 160 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: He did a really good job for us last week. 161 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: The other thing too, is that kind of off the 162 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: The other thing about him too is you want to 163 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: give these players in these situations a platform to have 164 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: to present to their teammates, and that gives not only 165 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: them confidence in the material their study and then talk 166 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: their teammates and building the communication they don't get on 167 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: the field and practice. He gives the teammates confidence to 168 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: understand how they're preparing and just seeing them progressive that 169 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: when we did get them back later in the season 170 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: and the goal was to build him in over time 171 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: to make sure that he was set to go, that 172 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: he was ready to go, and he was able to 173 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: make an impact force down the strang did the last 174 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: few games, I've got a bunch of snaps. The last 175 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: night he got, yes, solid snap. Did that give you 176 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: a taste for it? Okay, this is the playoff with 177 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: Dorothy List. We didn't need that to see that he 178 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: was gonna be the player we thought he was gonna be, 179 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: but he had a lot of potentially works hard. That 180 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: was just really the first time at the end of 181 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: the year he was able to physically go out there 182 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: and do that load of play to give us up 183 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: an opportunity to make some of the plays you made 184 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: Daniel and Kenny against the time and have you practice. 185 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: How important is that for the quarterback and the receiver 186 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: didn't start, you know, work on their timing and they're 187 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: in there, you know, rapport as they go a lot 188 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: with training. It's critical for anty position, but especially for 189 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: the skill positions. With the quarterback. Everybody's unique, so we 190 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: have to understand that everyone runs routes differently. So as 191 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: much as Daniel, Mike and Clayton can get with our 192 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: receivers and just really learn those players. That just helps 193 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: employs more anticipation, play more aggressive, deliver the ball where 194 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: it's going to be. You know, it's training camp, so 195 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: we're all working on our fundamentals are communication. But I 196 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: keep talking about the chemistry within the units. You know, 197 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: these things we have to build up. So whether it's 198 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: Daniel with the receivers, whether it's the safety's watching extra 199 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: tape with the corners, make sure on the same page 200 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: communication wise, anticipate in the motion or shift pre snap 201 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: all right, whether it's our linebackers working with the front 202 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: the offensive line, getting extra tape of watching Blitz pick 203 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: up rules right there, it's critical that everyone puts an 204 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: extra time at this point to really go ahead and 205 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: make up some time and to be honest with the 206 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: reality is the way the rules are right now, and 207 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: they just start what they are. But it's a shorter 208 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: day for the players. It's only the eleven hour day. Look, 209 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: our guys are generally in the building for a seven 210 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: thirty start. They're leaving at six thirty. There's a lot 211 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: of time on the back end. And we preached our 212 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: players is I thinks you've really got to manage our 213 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, your time and preparation. Everyone needs personal time 214 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: away when need time to rest, a need time to 215 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: call your mother, call your wife, you know, have a 216 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: little bit of personal time to tune down what's the 217 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: favorite TV show so our guys and video games that 218 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: it is, But you've gotta structure that time accordingly. Now, 219 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: on top of that, physically have to let our bodies 220 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: of cover that takes the extra massages, extra time hydrating, 221 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: and get treating with our trainers and nutritionists, whether we 222 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: get into some of the cold tubs, extra stretching, whatever 223 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: may be. You gotta work to keep your body healthy 224 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: and this doesn't happen. That's the biggest difference I think 225 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: from lot of these guys going from college of the 226 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: league is they assume because they've always been a great 227 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: athlete and they've never had to worry about injuries, they 228 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: don't really mess with the training room. We're a little 229 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: bit different. I try to bang on that drum every 230 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: day of getting the training room. If you're not hurt, 231 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: have prehab and don't wait till it coomes rehab. Let's 232 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: stay on this physically, make sure the season is a 233 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: lot longer. There's less numbers, is a greater intensity. We're 234 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: not gonna rely on you know, a team of walk 235 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: on is going out there and taking every go reperus 236 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: for Scout teams, all of our players play every rep, 237 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: and the way we practice in terms of repping everyone 238 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: all the time, we gotta make sure that everyone can 239 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: recover to go out there and repeat it and do 240 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: it again, and the flow of our training camp is built. 241 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: Then you'll see we have kind of morning practice and 242 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: we go that later practice, give the players extra time 243 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: to recover filed by a walk through, get their legs 244 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: back on them. Then we go ramp it up for 245 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: a tougher part layer in the week. Um. But in 246 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: terms of how they handle that time away from this 247 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: Criticalarious progression, Yeah, he had a good day yesterday with 248 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: the trainers. Gonna keep on ramping him up right there. 249 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: I can't speak directly for Candarious where he's at other 250 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: than what I've talked with the trainers. Obviously, we're gonna 251 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: take him kind of day by day participating and he'll 252 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: spend the majority of time with the trainers ramping up. 253 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: And we've got a number of guys that are doing 254 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: every now, the guys that are coming off that COVID list, 255 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: and again I just keep referring, we keep going back 256 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: to last year what we learned, and every player was 257 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: truly different. We had guys come back last year where 258 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: they were a little bit winded early in the phase, 259 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: but they responded quicker a lot of times based on 260 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: what the symptoms may have been or you know, how 261 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: hard they were hit with the virus. That can reflect 262 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: and when they come going back. So in terms of Darius, 263 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna do everything we can do with them, and 264 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: kind of short span on the field, he'll be out 265 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: there doing a little bit of stuff in a controlled situation, 266 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 1: more special teams and fundamental related and the rest of 267 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: the time he's gonna be with the trainers getting ready, 268 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: and then when he's not with them, he's gonna be 269 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: back with the team. So we can listen to get 270 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: mental reps on each plane, getting better every day, whatnot. 271 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of curious from last year. Unique year 272 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: obviously for you as you as a first year time. 273 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: One of the things a couple of tangible things that 274 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: you took from last year that maybe you learn most 275 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: as you as you entered this this second camp here 276 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: for you in terms of just says know for you 277 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: personally as a head coach, just kind of there are 278 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: a couple of tangible things you can talk about that, 279 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: but maybe you took out of last year, whether you're 280 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: gonna want to get better at them, whatever it is. 281 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's a million things you want to get 282 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: better at. I think the majority of my job is 283 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: imagine time, imagine people, and that's the biggest thing ONMO 284 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: was trying to make sure that we're doing the right thing. 285 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: You know, when I structure practice, going back and look 286 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: at last year, how did that work out for us? 287 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: You know, the notes on the end of the day, 288 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: How was practice that day? What were the shortcomings? Something 289 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: that's beneficial, all right, the time management of time away 290 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: to get the players back and get them healthy. The 291 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: time management in the season of meeting with the coaches 292 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: to make sure that you know, I give them enough 293 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: time for pair and we also spend enough time together 294 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: as a staff to be able on the same page. 295 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of things in the time managing 296 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: part on the people you Honestly, I've spent a lot 297 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: of time this offseason really working with different specialists and 298 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: different realms, whether it was you know, sports psychologists, generational experts. 299 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: I've talked a lot with some Navy Seals guys. In 300 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: the off season. I talked a lot with you know, 301 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: different coaches and different sports, whether it be you know, 302 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: professional across the women's basketball. I'm trying to find out 303 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: how different people hit players because we've got an array 304 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: of you know, different backgrounds. We also have different generations. 305 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: It's supportant to understand the difference in Millennials Generation Z 306 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: and also the effects that COVID has had. You kind 307 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: of look at guys this Generation Z that's more on 308 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: the front end of college or the back end of 309 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: high school. It's really a subset of that generations where 310 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: the COVID Generation Z, and it's within that same generational frame, 311 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: but there's actually differences in the personality has been reflected 312 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: to what they've been exposed to. To me, it's important 313 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: to understand that each person has a different story. We 314 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: have to find a way to reach them. But then 315 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: also understanding as a generation of players, guy's reality is 316 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: it's different coaching rookies and coaching Kyle Rudolph. They're just 317 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: two different subsets. One guy's got a family and kids. 318 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: One guy's just getting out of college and he's you know, 319 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: been focused more on shoe deals and combine preparation for 320 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: the last part of the year, and we got to 321 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: get the guys on the same page to aud and 322 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: play successfully. Some of those external things that you did 323 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: this offseason probably stuff you just did enough time to 324 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: do leading in the last year, or maybe hadn't thought 325 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: about doing it. I'd say I was able to spend 326 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: more time on the people aspect. I say the time 327 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: part last year, I was definitely working the same way 328 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: on it. You just have more experience with your team 329 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: with this setting of what you can approve here. In 330 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: terms of the people. Um, I'm always doing research most 331 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: trying to find different ways. This year is just a 332 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: major focus of mine to make sure that you know. 333 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: One thing that I always want to hit on us. 334 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to miss on a person. I don't 335 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: want miss anything. One of the most important things we 336 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: have to do is evaluate our team and make sure 337 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: that we don't put someone on the street that could 338 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: help us win that we don't miss evaluate because we can't, 339 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: you know, see through maybe a shade of a personality 340 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: to see who someone really is deep down. So sorry, 341 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: good question for television show about your three coordinators, How 342 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: would you define your roles as table setters in your 343 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: system and what tweaks are you making you too that 344 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: will have some impact on them what they do well. 345 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: I think the tweaks are coming more internally in terms 346 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: of them working their staff specifically. You know, last year 347 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: we had to get on the same page and we 348 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: eventually did and that took some time and that's just 349 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: natural of any program in year one. So I think 350 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: just the experience of you know, Pat Jason and team 351 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 1: ack of working with everybody you know that right there 352 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: is enable them to kind of redistributing some responsibilities for 353 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: me to sit down with them and make sure we 354 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: get the right people doing the right breakdowns, right reports. 355 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: You can't handle the right area focus, you know. In 356 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: terms of team back, look, every one of our coaches 357 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: you watch practice, they all coach special teams. So it's 358 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: important catching everybody up on not only the fundamentals in 359 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: the scheme, but to be able to go on the 360 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: field and coach because we don't want two guys coaching 361 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: ninety guys. Okay, We've got a big coach and staff. 362 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: We have good coaches. I want everyone to hear coach 363 00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: and say it all the time. So when we go 364 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: of special teams, we're gonna go ahead and designate certain 365 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: coaches maybe stay with their position and working on specific 366 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: and everybody else to work with the kicking game. But 367 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: it's all of our responsibil to coach every player in 368 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: every aspect um. The first part, in terms of them 369 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: setting the table, I'd say, ultimately, you know, we talk 370 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: as a staff, we deliver the message with the tone 371 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: is gonna be for the week, with the for the week, 372 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: or what our mentality is gonna be as a team. 373 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: But then you have to give ownership to the coordinators 374 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: within their specific units, and then you have to give 375 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: position coaches ownership as well. I truly see the position 376 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: coaches as the head coach their position. I see the 377 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: coordinates as the same way. We've got to make sure 378 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: that those units have an identity that they can take 379 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: on their own personality, and the guys that are working 380 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: with them day and day out, every hour of the day, 381 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: they get a really great feel for that, and they 382 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: can go ahead and extend that and make sure that 383 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: they set the table with that culture. It's all gotta 384 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: fit within the big team field, the big team culture, 385 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: but having a subset of that and having you know 386 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: their angle that fits within the team concept. You know, 387 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: we want to promote that. Appreciate Yeah, I appreciate
