1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: Cann of. Hey, Joe, what's the plan for today with 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: the snow? You guys going to the stadium or indoors 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: at one? No, we'll be out in the field. Three. 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: They've plowed off the snow force, so it looks like 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: there's still little bit residue out there. But we're out 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: there planning snow tonight. Joe was so Cadarius practiced a 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: little on Wednesday, didn't go yesterday. What's what's his status? Yes, yes, 8 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: so he couldn't go through practice with us. He remained 9 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: with the trainers. Plan today is kind of moving around 10 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: early in practice and see where that goes. If we 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: think he's a chance of getting more into team's rills, 12 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: which he should have a good about a half hour 13 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 1: or so before we get to that, we can get 14 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: an implement and see if we can get him a 15 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: chance to play noiceas has been made at this point. 16 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: But you know, we'll look and see where he is today. 17 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: What's it is so he heard his shoulder in the game, 18 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: Is that I mean, is that going to require something 19 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: off in the off season, surgery wise or anything like that. 20 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: That's more of a question for the trainers right now. Obviously, 21 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: you know we're looking to get him ready for were 22 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: the game. So in terms of what would have to 23 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: be corrected in the off season if something was long term, 24 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: that's really more of a question. Ronnie Barnes believe, Hey, Joe, 25 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: I figured out the audio finally, but my camera stopped working, 26 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: So uh, Joe, Obviously this isn't related to the last 27 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: five games when we all know you've had some personnel limitations. 28 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: The more big picture offense, I remember you saying you 29 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: wanted to be a flexible, versatile offense game by game 30 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: you could do different things moving forward. Joe, does this 31 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: offense need more things that can hang its hat on 32 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: like every game we know we're gonna be able to 33 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: do this x y Z well Well I said's a 34 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: pretty general statement, but the incident would be yes, you know, 35 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: in terms of just having staples in your offensive staple runs, 36 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: staple pass games, staple themes, how do you want to play? 37 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: Not that being said, those same staples have to be 38 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: flexible in terms of how you have to play each 39 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: game individually. I'm a firm belief or in versatility because 40 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: to me, you prepare for the opponent and you have 41 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: to make sure that whatever you do, you can take 42 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: away their strengths and expose our weaknesses. And based on circumstances, 43 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: situation and different game plans that may require a different 44 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: way of attacking them. You want to always be able 45 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: to be a balanced team. And I talked about being 46 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: a balanced team of running or passing when you have 47 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: to when they know you have to do it, and 48 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: that's where you want to play. It's not simply about 49 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: run pass relationship, but you want to be a balanced 50 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: team when we'll run the ball, run the ball downhill. 51 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: You know, that's an aspect of this program that we 52 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: have to have. That's just the way we gotta play. 53 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: It's New York Giants. It's got to be a physical 54 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: running team. You know. In terms of throwing the ball, 55 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: you want to be an accurate, efficient team. It really 56 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: flows through the quarterback and allows your players to make 57 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: plays in space and then prioritizes getting the ball in 58 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: the hands of the playmakers. The quarterback's jobs and facilitate 59 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: the offense is also his job at the line of 60 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: scrimmage too, you know, be able to make adjustments or 61 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: checks within the system as he's prepared to do us. 62 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: I'll danna make a lot of improvement throughout the last 63 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: year and a half up until when he got hurt. 64 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: That's something that was, you know, getting better for us 65 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: as an offense, and he was able to use to 66 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: make some productive plays this year, you know that being said, Yeah, 67 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: the answer is they definitely been some things to hang 68 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: your hat on and starts staples, But you also have 69 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: to have the flexibility per game plan to play however 70 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: you have to play that week. And one other Joe, 71 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: We've heard a couple of your defensive players that we 72 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: know we're a defense first team. We have to win 73 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: low scoring games. Is that your philosophy or is that 74 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: that's what your team is? So do you have a 75 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: better defense than you have offense so you try to 76 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: win low scoring games? Like would it be different if 77 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: maybe you had a different offensive personnel you could be 78 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: a high scoring team, if that makes sense. Look, my 79 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: belief is to play compimentary football. That's my belief to 80 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: have three phases to compliment each other. And some games 81 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: will be high scoring, some games are gonna be low scoring, 82 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: and that just happens within the flow of the season. 83 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: You've got seventeen games in regular season. They're not all 84 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: going to be the same. There's always different challenges and 85 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: different things you have to deal with each week. So 86 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: you know, my answer to that would be, you know, 87 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: my vision is to be a complimentary football team, to 88 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: play good in all three phases and to utilize, you know, 89 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: the strengths of each phase to compliment the other, and 90 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: take advantage of field position created by the kicking game 91 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: on both offense and defense, and be able to capitalize 92 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: on field position sustained by the defense and get back 93 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: to the offense that he Joe circle back to Kadarius 94 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: some more big picture question, um, how much of a 95 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: challenge was it the season to really get a chance 96 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: to like develop him and coach him up the way 97 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: maybe would have wanted when you know he's battling all 98 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: these injuries and stuff like that. Obviously, with rookies, I 99 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: want to spend as much time with them as he can. 100 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: But he's pretty banged up this year. Yeah, you know 101 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: what it's with rookies. Obviously, every snap you get is invaluable, 102 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: and when they're when the time is eliminated due to injuries, 103 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: that's definitely challenged. And the reality is, you know, whether 104 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: it was Katie a Rob or Ellison Smith. These are 105 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: three guys that lost significant amount of time through training 106 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: camp and at different points this year. I've seen improvement 107 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: by all three of these guys throughout the year. Actually, 108 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: I just talk to Ellison a little while ago and 109 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: was telling him that, you know, he had missed a 110 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: lot of ball through opting out of his senior year, 111 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: through not having a true training camp, through being pup 112 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: to start the season. But the important thing was we 113 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: saw improvement every game going forward, and there's things he 114 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: has to work on. The valuable thing he can take 115 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: is the experience, but he you know, we have to 116 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: understand there's a lot of reps these guys have missed, 117 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: you know. I think a Rob is another guy who's 118 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: improved a lot, you know, throughout this year. He's got 119 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: a great skill set and demeanor. You know, he's a 120 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: long way from where he's going to be as a player. 121 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: He's gonna be a good player in this league. And 122 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: that's the same with Katie. There's a lot of things 123 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: he missed the opportunity this year with injuries. I think 124 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: these are all three intelligent players, guys who go out 125 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: there and play at the right demeanor. But they've got 126 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: to gain more experience, and that's true for every rookie 127 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: in this league, but especially guys who've dealt with injuries 128 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: in the rookie year. We got time for three quick questions, 129 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: Jordan's forwards, Elnard, Jordan's the following on that real pick 130 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: show we saw Ellerson Smith went on I R the 131 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: other day, How how serious is that we will see 132 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: to the neck injury? And what what do you make 133 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: of his I missed the last part of that question, 134 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: But Tim, what do you make what do you make 135 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: of his rookie year? Yeah, like I said that, he 136 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: obviously missed a lot of time. I saw a lot 137 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: of improvement along the way. You know, you can't make 138 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: up for the lost snaps okay right away, but over time, 139 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: he's got to keep developing. The important thing for these 140 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: rookies going from year one to year two is really 141 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: make a physical jump, and their bodies have to continue 142 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: to change and adapt to the demands of the league. 143 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: From year two to year three. The important jump is 144 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: really production based. You know. But going back on Ellerson, 145 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: obviously he wouldn't be able to play this week. That's 146 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: why he went onto I article or available spaces If 147 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: we need them for different reasons. Um. As far as 148 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: a long term concern, from everything we've been told by 149 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: the medical team and the trainers, this would not be 150 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: a long term concern at all, but it would live 151 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: in them both you know this week and probably next 152 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: week for playing as well. At least. Hey, Joe, um, 153 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: a couple of quick ones about Daniel. I mean I 154 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: earned one quick one quick one two parts? Um uh, 155 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: quickly Joe. With Daniel, he's on I R. Obviously do 156 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: you keep on getting updates and you know about any 157 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: progress he's making and the fact that he hasn't been 158 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: here for the last five games and almost make you 159 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: appreciate even more what he can do for your team 160 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: considering what's happened in the offense without him. Well, I 161 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: appreciate all of our players who come to work every 162 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: day and put it on the line pole first off. 163 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: And I didn't need to lose Daniel to appreciate him. 164 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: So the answer is, yes, I do appreciate him, but 165 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: not because it's something I haven't had with Daniel. I 166 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: appreciate it more for what he does every day and 167 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: the ability of how he comes to work and puts 168 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: the team first in terms of the medical questions that Paul, Uh, 169 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: the answer is yes, I do get updates on where 170 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: he's at. And then, as I said yesterday in the 171 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: press conference, the guys on the patio that the updates 172 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: of the frequency of imaging and things that nature, you know, 173 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: those updates decrease a little bit. And in terms of 174 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, the amount and quantity and frequency of those images, 175 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: they obviously decrease once you're removed from you know, playing 176 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: stats and put on IR. But we do talk about 177 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: our players all time. I wouldn't say it's a daily 178 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: update on Daniel at this point, but it is. You know, 179 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: we talk at least once a week about how he's doing. 180 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: I talked to Daniel on a regular base about how 181 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: he's feeling. Um. Obviously, it's the guy wants to be 182 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: out there with the team. That's a guy that you 183 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: know really wants to be out there and breaking the 184 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: huddle himself, but he's here supporting his teammates when he 185 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: can't do that. That's the last one here, pet limit Joe, 186 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: has this been a especially tumultuous week for you? And Uh, 187 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, do you feel any particular pressure going into 188 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: this game? No? My focus is on playing Washington. That's it. 189 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: You know. We talk all the time about ignoring the 190 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: noise and look to be completely honest with you whatever 191 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: is going on outside this building. You know a lot 192 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: of times I have no idea about you know, I 193 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: tell you all the time. Pat Handling and a couple 194 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: of people close to me kind of keep me, you know, 195 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: up to speed on what's going on outside this building 196 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: and more so that I know that how things may 197 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: be affecting our players. But in terms of this week 198 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: in itself, no, I'm concerned about get our players ready 199 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: to go. We've had great energy at practice. We can 200 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: optun go out there today one more practice as a team. 201 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: We get to play in the snow and have some fun. 202 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna go out there and embrace this opportunity, you know, 203 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: not look back and say wish we had done it differently.
