1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Good. So looking forward to a good practice today with

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: the Jets, try to improve our football team. Um, you know,

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: we should have a good competitive day out there. How

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: many structure practice we're usually doing? Are you changing things though? Yeah?

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: So this field right here, field one closest to the building.

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: That will be the Jets offense and uh Giants defense,

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: and then the field on the other side will be

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: the counterparts. The first half hour will be Jets on

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: this field, Giants on that field. That'll be special team's

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: field field free. But it'll be similar to a structure practice.

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: All you know, throughout the league, you hear about all

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: these joint practices, right and you hear these reports and

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: it was a big brawl. There was a big brawl.

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: There's a fight they had to stop a god of

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: stuff that I mean. Is that like this can't happen

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: today or is it kind of like, well, we'd like

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: it not to happen if it does, so be here.

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, all we're trying to do is get better,

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: to improve our undamentals, compete against another team that you know,

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: has different skill sets, different scheme, and we're not looking

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: to go out there and and fight. You go make

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: that known to your team and you can make any

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: special instructions for today. Yeah, we talked about it, and

24
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 1: I mean in a team meeting, we talked about it. Um, look,

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: the season is getting closer, sixteen days or whatever. It

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: is a way I think it's important to be able

27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: to practice with one another, like to do this for

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: a while without anything happening. Um like that. Again, I've

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: been part of these two, I understand how it goes.

30
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: But we're certainly going to try to do what we

31
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: can do to just have a good competitive practice. So

32
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: you're looking forward to see it today or just that

33
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: you know over fuels with your team is gonna do

34
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: against another team? Yeah, well we're not not in particular.

35
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: We're just trying to improve our fundamentals are techniques. It's

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: good to practice against a different scheme, different players and

37
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: just try to get better. Do this for a while.

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: You mean you want to make this an annul thing. Yeah,

39
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean down the road hopefully. You know. It's it's

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: good to have a team right here across the way

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: to compete against. But again, you've got to do things

42
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: the right way. I think, Um, show respect to each other,

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: work hard together to improve and I mean and play football,

44
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: not that you're sitting going to see the UFC or

45
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, boxing matches or anything like that, although I

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: love both of those. Just good competitive football. All right.

47
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts right now? And how much that

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: all your starters will play in this game? Yes, not

49
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: there yet. Does Robert's decision to play his starters you

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: affect any of that or is it just ant know?

51
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: It has no effect? What's going on with eight? Saw

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: him out there yesterday. He's a great man. His leg

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: he looks like he's strut a little bit. Yeah, I

54
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: mean he's getting better. He's he's rehabbing. Hopefully we'll do

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more today. We'll see how that goes.

56
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: I think he's making strides every day and hopefully we'll

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: see a little bit more today. Um, we'll see how

58
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: much he does help tip to team periods and things

59
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: like that, but hopeful that we'll see a little bit

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: related to the knee and he had this you know so,

61
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: And I'm not getting into I'm not getting into a

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: good question. But no answer for you. But you weren't

63
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: big on twelving thirteen personnel in Buffalo. But what's your

64
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: overall thoughts on the tight end depth the jab right now,

65
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of it. Um, there's a bunch

66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: of young players that are competing. They're improving every day. Um,

67
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: you know Balinger and Myrick and Austin. We just added

68
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: another another player. Um. So it's a good opportunity for

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: those players to to go out there and improve and

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: earn earn the right to play. It's kind of frustrating

71
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: me that past he's in him and like an audience,

72
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: get add it. Uh. I said this the other day.

73
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: Injuries are a part of the game. You deal with

74
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: whatever comes your way as a coach, as a player.

75
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: It's an unfortunate deal that people get hurt, but it's

76
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: a it's a competitive sport. There's high speeds and collisions

77
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: and you know, like unfortunately yesterday Colin Johnson, I I'd

78
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: take to miss this. What a what a great person,

79
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: was making a really strong case for himself and camp

80
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: and had a non non contact injury where he just

81
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: kind of slipped in, Uh popped hiss achilles. How did

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: chep come through yesterday? And he goes becks not to

83
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: continue to Yeah, good, well we'll just keep ramping him up. Um,

84
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: you won't see him in a lot of competitive periods today,

85
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: but we'll just keep wrapping him up. So we're getting

86
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: closer to the to the season here because of how

87
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: physical the pro game here is. In a perfect world,

88
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: would you rather bring your ninety guys into the regular season? Uh?

89
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: Whatever the rules are, the rules, you know that we

90
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: get to abide by those and do a good job

91
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: of having a plan if something does go you know,

92
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: somebody gets hurt, bring another guy in. He's tended out

93
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: doing his rehab here, Like is he here today? Was

94
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: he here yesterday? He is her? Kiss? Brian? What's your

95
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: is your history with Sale? How long we got to

96
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: know each other? And kind of how did the discussion

97
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: started out doing this? I met him at I've known

98
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: him just from coaching in the league, but I met

99
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: him at the owners meetings March Raper. I said, UM,

100
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: good person. Always had a good amount of respect for

101
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: for what he did as a coach, And then got

102
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: to meet him as a as a person with a

103
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: great person him and his wife or his family. UM,

104
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: and then we just you know, we started talking about

105
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: a little bit and see if it could work. Um,

106
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: And you know, I have a lot of respect for

107
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: him and what his culture is, and I thought we

108
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: could get good work together. But when it gets the

109
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: Jets twice last year, Like, what stands out about Robert

110
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: Salad intense? Yeah, they play fast, they play physical. Um,

111
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, they play some zone, they play a little

112
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: bit of man. They have usually a four down rush

113
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: with some some blitchers. We haven't really studied them for

114
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: this practice, but um, you know it's he's competitive. We

115
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: played him when I was at the Bills, when he

116
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: was at San Francisco, and I just got a lot

117
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: of respect for how he handles things well, kind of

118
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: me in a way you and you and Robert in

119
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: terms of barely handed anything in this league. He came

120
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: in and had to really grind from the lowest level

121
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: all the way after where you are now as a

122
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: head coach. Is that's something that you guys bonded over. Um,

123
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: I don't think we talked about that. I just you know,

124
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: we just we kind of met each other and hug

125
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: out by the pool a little bit and you know,

126
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: just started talking football and just have a lot of

127
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: respect for him as a as a as a man

128
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: first and then as a coach second. And got to

129
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: meet his wife and just really good person with practice today.

130
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, do you ramp it up because it's another team,

131
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: what do you just practice the way you always practice. Yeah,

132
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to practice the way we normally practice. Again,

133
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: it's there's competitive juices out there. We all understand that,

134
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: but you know, we're not looking to the cheap shot

135
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: or do anything to you know, it's practice. So what

136
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: I told our guys is, let's let's treat it off

137
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: our offense. Treat it like it's our defense. Our defense.

138
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 1: Treat like it's our offense. Stay away from the quarterback,

139
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: try to keep guys up, you know, thud tackle they'll

140
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: be grabbing and holding. Don't put guys on the ground,

141
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: you know, try to improve our techniques, get in good

142
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: position and and get something out of it. And coach,

143
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: is there anything they do, uh schematically on defense that's

144
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: gonna prep you guys or mayor what you're gonna see

145
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Yeah, Well, I just think we we come

146
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: out here, we practice against a different look than we've

147
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: been seeing every day, and and that's the advantage of

148
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: practice and against another team. The looks and you know

149
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: they're not really scout. It looks you just go out

150
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: there and trust your rules and assignments and and then

151
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: also the players. You know, the different levels of ability

152
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: that those players have and and the challenges that they

153
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: would create, you know, So it's not the same guy

154
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: you're going against every day. Is and I think what

155
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: we're trying to get out of it benchmarks that you'd

156
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: like to see Daniel head during these during this coin

157
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: practice times. Now, just go and have a good practice

158
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: to keep getting better. Are there advantages that you would

159
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: see during a joint practice that you may not be

160
00:07:53,240 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: able to analyze in a preseason game? Um No, I

161
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: don't think so. I mean, look at the games. It's

162
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: live competition. That's the best way to evaluate your players,

163
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: tackling and blocking and cleaning pockets and doing all those things.

164
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: I just think it's a it's good to get out

165
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: here against another opponent and see a different colored jersey

166
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: and see different players out there and have to block

167
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: different looks. I think that's what helps the most. Like

168
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna cut seven guys in next week, they're gonna

169
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: cut twenty seven guys next week. As much as you're

170
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: coaching your guys, whether it's live or on tape, will

171
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: you be watching their guys to see if that guy

172
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: shakes free he fits here. Yeah, I think you always

173
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: do that. It's another advantage. You get a whole another

174
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: roster to to look at. And you know, I don't

175
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: want to speak for anybody else. I'm sure that's what happens.

176
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: You know, at most practices, you're able to go against people,

177
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: see people that maybe might not fit their scheme, or

178
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: they move on from that might fit your scheme, or

179
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: you want to take a look at. So I think

180
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: that's that has his advantages too. We've seen a few

181
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: of the joint practice it's just turned sideways because of

182
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: the emotions. Did you have to give your plays reminder

183
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: not to get that let to get the best of you? Um, yeah,

184
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: we talked about that. We talked about it in our team. Again,

185
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: I've been part of these practices. Um, you do your

186
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: best job. You can do too, Like you want to

187
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: treat it. It's not a game, but you I mean,

188
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: you can't go out there and fighting brawl in a game,

189
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: either getting piste off and do something that you wouldn't

190
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: do in the game. You want to try to treat

191
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: it like a game atmosphere without you know, taking guys

192
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: to the ground, doing all those things that you'd only

193
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: do in a game. Oh good, there any guys that really,

194
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: it's not that, not any question. He was thinking about,

195
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: Well you get full going today out there? Ye? Yeah,

196
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's practice for us, you know, again against

197
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: another team, but um, it's practice, and we'd like to

198
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: get really good work today. The team's conditioning yesterday, it's

199
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: pretty heavy practice. Yeah, it was hot. Yeah, we did

200
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: a for a reason. Um, I had a couple of

201
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: days off, so I e liked it not to run

202
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: the cross fields. Some of the coaches did. And it's

203
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: really the period after the condition where they got to

204
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: hear things and go fast and get lined up and

205
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: make sure they're and they're not let fatigue get the

206
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: best of them. That's why we do that. Did you

207
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: ever do it when you were an assistant coach? I did?

208
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: I ran, Yeah, not very fast, as you know. What

209
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: do you think of sauce car ride the players. Here's

210
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: a guy who just got it quite a bit going

211
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: into this draft. Yeah. I haven't seen him up until

212
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him playing the NFL, but I was

213
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: certainly a good player. Um, big man skills, long lengthy,

214
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: good player,
