1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Good to be here, got in last night, looking forward

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: to a good practice. Very appreciative to the Detroit Lions,

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: the Ford family, Brad, Dan Campbell, who have a good

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: relationship with looking forward to having a good competitive couple

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: of days here. Excited to be here. And but that'll

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: open up the questions, how much do you think these

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: two days will help you get an assessment of where

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: your team stays. Well, I think it's you know, it's

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: kind of the next step for training camp when you

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: practice against another team. I think there's competitive juices. The

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: coaches have it, the players have it. But we're going

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: to try to practice the right way against a really

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: good team. I think the program that the Allians have

14
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: and what Dan and Brad have been able to do

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: is has really been outstanding.

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: So it'll be a go. It'll be a good test

17
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: for us.

18
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 3: You said the right way, Tom, what does that exactly mean?

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: And why?

20
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: Sometimes I he's joint practice not.

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: Go wrong there. Well, you have a bunch of competitive

22
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: people that are hitting each other every day, so but

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: we're going to try to take one another, keep people

24
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: off the ground, stay away from the quarterback, just practice

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: right way like you're practicing against your team, but again,

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: the competitive juices flow, but do a good job of

27
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: respecting them and look forward to that in return.

28
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 2: Is there anything you can learn about your rookies it

29
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: and young and young inexperienced players in this setting that

30
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: you can't Maybe.

31
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: In sure, I think it's just there's there's more competitive

32
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: juices flowing when you're you know, at another place against

33
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: different people with a different scheme. That's the next step

34
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: for them, and I know they're excited about it.

35
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: Dan mentioned getting a lot of defensive lookstone at them.

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: Is there anything that you're particularly excited to look at you?

37
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: I'd say everything. You know.

38
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: I love practicing against another team during training camp. Again,

39
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: it's different looks, it's different matchups. It's very competitive two

40
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: days of practice that I'm looking forward to.

41
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: Competitive as you are.

42
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: How much do you adjust to what you're seeing in

43
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: practice or do you stick to kind of your script?

44
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're really trying. You're still in training camp mode,

45
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: so you're trying to develop as a team.

46
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: You know, you're not really spouting in terms of getting

47
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: ready to go to practice. You're running your plays, maybe

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: trying a couple of different things, but seeing how the

49
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: players react in the competitive situation I think is important. Nachos,

50
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: he won't go today.

51
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: Anybody else won't go, not Evan.

52
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: Still in protocol, they're gonna kind of ramp up. They

53
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: won't be doing any team stuff, but we're gonna get

54
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: them in the individual and some of the stuff that

55
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: we do, so get those guys ramped up.

56
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 2: You and Dan k will know each other for years.

57
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: What's your respect level been like for him? And how

58
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: early did you know he had the ability to be

59
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: a sure?

60
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dan as

61
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: a coach, but as a person, him and his family.

62
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: He's an outstanding, outstanding guy. He's got high energy and

63
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: we work back together in twenty eleven.

64
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: I think it's well documented.

65
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: You know his interview and you know the players I

66
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: think have a lot of respect for him. He's a

67
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: high energy, just a really good coach, a good guy

68
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: that have a lot of respect.

69
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: For right Kevon Tibeau here in his second can now

70
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: second year going and what do you expect you to

71
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: see out to him?

72
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: That you do you like to see us that next

73
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: step there? Yeah, just get better day by day.

74
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: You know, he's had a good camp this should be

75
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: a good competition for him. You know, Detroit's got an

76
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: outstanding offensive line, and just take it day by day

77
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: and improve it as craft.

78
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: When you have your guys, think some of your younger

79
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: guys are even going up against some of your premier

80
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: players on this team. You know, I'm thinking of you know,

81
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: when Schmid's goes against dex or anybody who goes up

82
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: against Andrew. When you get into a setting like this,

83
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: is it almost like, you know, what we saw them

84
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: against our guys, it's even more interesting to see them

85
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: against other guys who might not be at that level.

86
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's just the next step of our

87
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: process of you know, this is why we planned on

88
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: doing it, to get good work, to evaluate them against

89
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: different players.

90
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: And you know, there's there's a lot of a lot.

91
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: Of players out here competing for for opportunity and for job,

92
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: and you know, will be evaluating all of them.

93
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: The fact that this is against a team that seems

94
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: to be on the rise, I mean, they're crick to

95
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: win the division, so it's a test in that way too.

96
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

97
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: Look, this is an outstanding football team that I think

98
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: have done a really good job the past few years.

99
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: They've been here, they've had a lot of great pieces.

100
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: I think their draft classes. You know, the players that

101
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: they drafted. You know, we did a lot of work

102
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: on them, and it'll be interested to see those guys.

103
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: They're all smart, tough, dependable guys that were really good

104
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: football players, dynamic, you know, Gibbs is his unbelievable.

105
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: Player, and Campbell and Branch and Report.

106
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they did a really good job and got

107
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for how they're doing their things.

108
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: Is there anything that some of these players can do

109
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 3: in the next two days that will affect the way

110
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: you use them on Friday?

111
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: You know, if you've seen enough, you don't need to

112
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: see as much that.

113
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: Everything I'd say I'm worried about today, and we'll revisit

114
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: that in the next couple of days.

115
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: All right, last year you did the joints with the Jets.

116
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: You ended up picking Jason and Warrens off, and there

117
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: were also means there and added going us here as well.

118
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: That you can potentially.

119
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, you get to you get a look at

120
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: a whole nother roster. So I know our scouting department

121
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: will be here and be evaluating the players, not just

122
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: our players. How they do, but also Detroit players and

123
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: I think it's uh, you know, it works.

124
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: Well for us. Look like a typical practice is, yeah,

125
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: you know, it'll be on the two fields.

126
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: We'll start out on our field and they'll be on

127
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: their field, and then the defense will.

128
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: Travel to their offensive field.

129
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: Their defense will come over to our offensive field, and

130
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be pretty similar to what you're used

131
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: to seeing, you know, our practices. You know, we worked

132
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: well together in terms of coming up.

133
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: With a structure that we think will serve well for

134
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: both teams.

135
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,119
Speaker 3: I've seen some joint practices that have you know, ones

136
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: versus twos, that kind of thing those team do you

137
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: believe in kind of going ones ones on ones.

138
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you'll see that. You'll see that, so did

139
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: you and Campbell. There are lots of discussions about how

140
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: you want to do that kind of toy.

141
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, yeah, you talk about that in the

142
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: in the spring a little bit.

143
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: Once you're once you're you know, find.

144
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: Out you're playing in the preseason and what we want

145
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: to do and then you know, sports science gets evolved

146
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: and my assistant and his assistant there's a lot of

147
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: work that goes on behind the scenes of trying to

148
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: get as productive two days as we can
