1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about one. She obviously has 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: an impressive motor shows that again last night, makes lots 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: of plays, But how to make those plays and maintain 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: disciplines in the scheme of defense, especially for a younger 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: player in the league. Well, I think that's what we're 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: all trying to do defensively, is to be aggressive, but 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: understand the responsibilities to the defense and be accountable for 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: those responsibilities and but at the same time be able 9 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: to take advantage of opportunities to um be disruptive or 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: make tackles and so forth. So that's that's the work 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: work in progress for all of us and guys, you know, 12 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: understanding and getting comfortable playing with each other and having 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: a familiarity of communication and how they're going to react 14 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: to certain things that they see. So we're all working 15 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: through that on defense. If I could follow up, how 16 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: much of that, if you could break it down, comes 17 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: in the film room and how much of that teaching 18 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: comes on the field in practice. Yeah, that's a great question. 19 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: Market they go hand in hand, and it's probably a 20 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: little bit different for each player, and maybe at each situation. 21 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: Sometimes you can cover things in the film room very 22 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: clearly other times it's not as clear. Sometimes once you 23 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: see it on the field, it all comes together. And 24 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: so we use both and probably always will continue to 25 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: use both. You don't always have time to cover everything 26 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: on the field. That's one of the values of the 27 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: film rooms. You can get some things covered in a 28 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: meeting that you might not be able to get everything 29 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: done on the field, but they have to go back 30 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: and review some things on the field and make here 31 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: you have him right. So it's it's all part of 32 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: the tea teaching process, something that we have to just 33 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: try to, you know, use our time as efficiently and 34 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: the best that we can to get those things um 35 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: corrected and communicated to the team and the Indy individual players. 36 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: Thanks Bill, Yeah, you're welcome. Next question Doug Kite, and 37 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: I'll ask you anyone else on the call to hit 38 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: five Star if you want to ask a question. Good morning, Bill. 39 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: After you gets drafted Byron Cowart, Nikessari said he was 40 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: probably more of a run player. His his pass rush 41 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: ability surprised you at all. Well, in a college scheme, 42 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: I don't think there was that he played into Maryland. Um, 43 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say there were a lot of a lot 44 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: of pass rush situations that, Um, it was a little 45 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: harder value wit that. So you know, again you can 46 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: only go on what you see. And probably seventy five 47 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: percent of the plays maybe more that he played were 48 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: either running plays or running situations. So but he's done 49 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: all we've asked him to do. So that's the main time. 50 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: He's done all we've asked him to do. He's he 51 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: needs to get better at everything running game, passing, game recognition, 52 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: reaction and so forth. So we'll just continue to work 53 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: with him and all the other players. And he's a 54 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: young player that works hard. Hopefully he'll continue to improve 55 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: like he has since we got him here in May. 56 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: One more question, Kelvin Munson is look pretty active in 57 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: the running game. What traits does he have to put 58 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: him in position? It can be for ast spot. Well, 59 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: Colin's got some experience and that he's a smart player, 60 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: instinctive player. Um, he had some production. Great, thank you, 61 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: you're welcome. Next question Mike'sierdi and again gonna answer for 62 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: anyone to hit five stars that once asked the question. 63 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: Go ahead, mikeel Morning Bill. Questionable question about the interception 64 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: of the horror through it just from a football perspective 65 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: is was Braxton supposed to come flatter on that route 66 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: or was that just Crian was behind him and that 67 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: was that. Well, we you know, we didn't make a 68 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: good play and Logan, you know, made a good play, 69 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: made a good play on the ball. So it was 70 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: a good play by Logan, um, you know, and and 71 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: not a good play by us. Next question be Zach Cox, 72 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: followed by Michael Jagrian here Bill. Last night was obviously 73 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: the first time we've seen Isaiah Wynn out on in 74 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: a game situation and in quite a while the four 75 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: year impressions of are we stared out there? I'm almost 76 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: good to get Isaiah out there. Um. I think he 77 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: played around fifteen plays or so somewhere in that neighborhood. 78 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: We'll just we'll build on that, Um, see where we 79 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: are next week for the Carolina game and going forward. 80 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: But it was good to have him out there, and 81 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: we'll just take it from here and see how it goes. 82 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: Thank you, welcome. Next question Michael shag Bill, Um, I 83 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about something Tom has talked about 84 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: a lot in the past, and that is metal reps 85 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: and camera's caught Patrick shung kind of getting involved in communication, 86 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: signal calling, what have you on the sidelines with Marcus Covington. 87 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: I'm curious if if that's something that the player volunteers 88 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: to do spontaneously or if it's something that you know, 89 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: is discussed earlier in the week, and how that comes 90 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: about to when a player like Patrick Shutt gets involved 91 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: in the communication on the sideline. Well, I think a lot, 92 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: hopefully all the players are involved in it when their 93 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: units on the field. So we try to make sure 94 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: that everybody gets the calls. Um, you know, they they 95 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: should be able to identify the situation themselves, you know, 96 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: the down and distance, heel position and a half type situations, 97 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: two minutes and things like that, but we try to 98 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: get them to the call that we've made, um whatever 99 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: whatever it is we're running on offense, defense, special teams, 100 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: so that they can watch their position and watch the 101 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: play and uh, you know, mentally hopefully that they are 102 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: mentally reacting the way that they would want to react 103 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: in the game, so if they were actually in their plane. 104 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: So that's that's the idea that I think a lot 105 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: of our guys are doing that. I mean, I can't 106 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: speak for every individual guy, of course, but we had 107 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: a lot of guys that are were involved. But you know, 108 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: every that's what everybody should be doing, is hearing the 109 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: call and watching their position and watching the play and 110 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: reacting mentally and having a situation awareness of what to 111 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: do based on the specifics of that particular situation. Great. 112 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: Thank you, Hi, Bill. This Rich Thompsons in Boston. Held. 113 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: I just comment on what you're trying to get done 114 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: with this short week, with two days of preparation for Carolina. Well, 115 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: first thing is to give the players an opportunity to 116 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: rest and recover from the herd and good week that 117 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: we had in Tennessee. We we've played a lot of 118 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: football down there on Wednesday and Thursday's practice and then 119 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: last night on the game and kind of spurts. Offensively, 120 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: we ran a lot of plays in the second half, 121 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: and defensively we were on the field for a lot 122 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: of plays in the first half. So I think that 123 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: those kind of more intensive stretches, you know, challenge us 124 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: in some physical ways and mentally too in terms of 125 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: communication and fundamental execution when you know, when we're a 126 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: little fatigued. But so that's a big part of it, 127 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: is to rest and recover from that. Then, as you said, 128 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: to get ready to go on a short weekends Carolina. 129 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: We'll go through the Tennessee film and make some corrections 130 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: and adjustments and try to clean up some things that 131 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: happened last night, and then move on the preparation on 132 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: a short week that we have for Carolina. This will 133 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: be similar to because the players are off today when 134 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: they come in tomorrow, that Monday to Thursday window was 135 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: the same one that we'll have later in the regular season. 136 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,599 Speaker 1: So that'll give us a good opportunity to kind of 137 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: as players, coaches and everybody to work in a short 138 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: week schedule and and try to you know, prioritize and 139 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: get get the things done that we need to do, 140 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: similar to what we'll have to do a couple of 141 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: months from now. So, yes, the Giants game, I believe 142 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: that's right. So um, it's a kind of a similar 143 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: situation to that from a preparation standpoint. I mean, we 144 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: have to prepare for the game, we just have to 145 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: do it in a different amount of time. And that's 146 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: the exact amount of time that we'll have to work 147 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: with this week. So we'll try to take advantage of that. 148 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: Thank you, Bill, You're welcome, Rich, No problem. All right, 149 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna take one last question here, evanlaz Are go ahead. Hey, Bill, 150 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you now that the practices 151 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: go from being open to the public and a little 152 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: bit more training camp setting to closed, what changes for 153 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: you guys, just as coaches, of what you want to 154 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: get done in these practices now that you know, as 155 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: media and the fans are are not out there watching. Well, 156 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it's really about the media and the 157 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: fans right now. Um, we're just at a different point 158 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: than we work three weeks ago when we started training camp. UM, 159 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: So where we are now and where we were at 160 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: those previous times, it's just significantly different. We're we're closing 161 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: in on the start of the regular season. Um, we 162 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: need to we need to start to do things to 163 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: prepare for the opener and the opening games in the 164 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: start of the season and the sixteen regular game regular 165 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: season schedules. So the priorities and the structure of what 166 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: we do is a lot different than what it was 167 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: back in the spring, or or what it was or 168 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: early in training camp. We're still in an evaluation process, 169 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: but we've already had a lot of opportunities to evaluate 170 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: our players and how our team is starting to come together. 171 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: We have a long way to go, I'm not saying that, 172 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: but we know a lot more than we did three 173 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: weeks ago or two months ago, back in May. So well, 174 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: let's say the priorities for us are a lot different 175 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: than than what they What they were doesn't really have 176 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: anything to do with the fans being there or not. 177 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: We have to we have to take care of what 178 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: our needs are and regardless of whether the fans are 179 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: in the stands or not.
