1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Long time. No, See what do you got, Karen? 2 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 2: He's going to promote big his cab if they an't 3 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: completing it. 4 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think there's a lot of things 5 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: in play there. I think just trying to you know, 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: figure out what's best defensively for us, what's best for 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: the you know, the staff organizationally and being able to 8 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, get everybody's strengths where they need to be. 9 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 3: Uh. 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: So I know that Terrell will be able to help 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: me in a lot of things, help the football team, 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: help the defense continue to be a big, big role 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: in that. Uh And then just seeing where things progressed 14 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: with Zach and you know, the comfort level that we 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: had there. So you know, that's where we ended up. 16 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: And I think we have still a great staff. There'll 17 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: be some you know, guys that will add or people 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: that will add going through this process. You know, happy 19 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: for guys like Robert Kogler who was able to to 20 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: go and be a tight ends coach in Pittsburgh and 21 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: you know some of those things. I mean, again, I 22 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: he will when I get back to Foxborough, you know, 23 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to sit here and misspeak 24 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: and figure out where that ends up. And you know, 25 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: I've got a plan for him, and I think that 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: that's in a vision is better than than then the 27 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: title necessarily, So you know, I just I don't want 28 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: to say something and not have that be you know, 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: an accurate depiction of what ends up happening once we 30 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: work through a lot of different things. Well, I mean 31 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: not only his future, but what he was able to 32 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: do for us and come in and and provide leadership, 33 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: work extremely hard and the time that he was rehaving 34 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: from the knee, and I think it's just a really 35 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: good presence each and every week. And so as we 36 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,839 Speaker 1: look to evaluate the football team, you know, we're doing 37 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: that constantly. We're doing that Elliott and myself and Ryan 38 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: and Stretch and Elliott's staff, and you know, just being 39 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: a little bit behind of where we were just how 40 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: long the season went, where those conversations for each and 41 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: every player are happening in the meetings in between that 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: we have with the draft players here, so you know, 43 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that we'll do between now 44 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: and the time that the football season starts. So that's 45 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: going to be the same with with I would say 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: most every player on our roster, very good. Yeah, well, 47 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: I think that there's uh probably some things that you know, 48 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: go into the making decisions, and again, we want our 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: players to make great decisions. And again we've we've tried 50 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: to support those players that have some things that have 51 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: come up with those accusations. We're going to let the 52 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: legal process run its course, just like we said before. 53 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: Uh and and those players, whether that's the fund or 54 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: anybody else that has something, has done exactly what they're 55 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: supposed to do, be where they're supposed to be communicate 56 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: with this with the court when they're supposed to communicate 57 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: with them. So you know, we're going to let all 58 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: that take care of itself, and then we'll have to 59 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: see what the judgments are, you know, in those particular 60 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: cases which I got. Well, I think that there's you know, 61 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: just looking across the board, I think there's volume at 62 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: the tight end class and whether they're you know, premium 63 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: players or what people would say that their first round picks. 64 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: I just know that, you know, when you go and 65 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: you evaluate other teams and you get ready to play 66 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: for them, there's a bunch of fourth and fifth round 67 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: you know, tight ends that end up starting and playing 68 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: and contributing, and you know, so wherever that value is, 69 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: I just think that there's some names there and I 70 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: myself personally have to do a better job of, you know, 71 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: evaluating that position that I can then give input to 72 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: to the rest of the personnel staff and kind of 73 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: the vision that we have, you know for that position. 74 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: I think, you know, we've met with a bunch of 75 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: edged players. There's there's a depth there. So you know, 76 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: we'll continue to work our way across the board and 77 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: then enjoy these meetings and you know, I'll have to 78 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: go back and continue to watch did you call it? You? Did? 79 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: I talk to Hi Mike? 80 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 2: Did you. 81 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: Yep? 82 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 3: You'll just eat what you win this year. 83 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think every year is different, and 84 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: so we'll have to have a really good rookie class 85 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: next year. And we hope that the players that we drafted, 86 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: the ones that played a lot, the ones that played 87 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: you know, fifty or sixty percent of the playtime, are 88 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: the ones that maybe didn't play as much. That they 89 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: all need to develop. They need to continue to grow 90 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: and develop not only physically but in our program mentally 91 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: and emotionally, and you know, become more that foundation that 92 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: we talked about. So you know, playing and winning seventeen 93 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: games as a rookie is only good if you can 94 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: continue to to improve and use those experiences, uh, you 95 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: know to your benefit. That would then help the team. 96 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: Do you talk to courts his irin process of what 97 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: do you think about? 98 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: Well? I talk Arthur's a friend, so I talked to him. 99 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: You know, often got a lot of respect for him 100 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: as a coach, but not only that as a person 101 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: who is a friend. So for all the Ohio State fans, 102 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: I guess we have somebody to to complain to if 103 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: they don't score fifty points a game like every other 104 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: Buckeye fan does. So I'm excited for him to be 105 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: in Columbus. Obviously that place means a lot to me, 106 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: you know personally in my family. So you know, having 107 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: having gone there and lived there and you know, support them. 108 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 2: Why should it. 109 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 3: Creak in downide me as dramatic that all build email. 110 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: Yes, well, we should never have a reason for volume 111 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: and staff. We we need to evaluate staffing at that 112 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: level and to find out and make sure that that 113 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: every game is treated the same, whether it's the primetime 114 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: game on Sunday night, it's the primetime game on Monday 115 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: or Thursday or or those one o'clock games that you 116 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: know is the lifeblood of our league. So I think 117 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: that if if we need to figure out what staffing 118 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: issues and need to be taken care of so that 119 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: those things are looked at and and we're not letting 120 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: anything slip, we need to be really good and replay. 121 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: There's gonna be mistakes on the field, just like there's 122 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: mistakes and execution by the players, mistakes by the coaches. 123 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: There's going to be mistakes by the officials. There are, 124 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: and they need to be decisive. They need to believe 125 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: in what they're they're calling. But saying that there's going 126 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: to be mistakes, we have to get to a system 127 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: and replay that is close to one hundred percent accurate 128 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: as possible. 129 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 3: Very much. 130 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry bright about it. Well again, I've never played 131 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: for him, I've never coached with him. I would say 132 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: just his record speaks for itself. I have a lot 133 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: of respect for what he's done. I don't have his 134 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: secret sauce I wish I did and to be able 135 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: to do it at one place for eighteen years, But 136 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: I know that his teams are their physical, their sound, 137 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: they play great defense, They force you into mistakes. But 138 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: other than that, I'm only looking at it from being 139 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: against them. You Yeah, I just know that you're going 140 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: to make some mistakes. Hopefully don't make too many of them. 141 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: You don't want to make the same mistakes twice. It's 142 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: important to be around the building. It's important to make 143 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: sure everybody in the organization knows that their job is 144 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: critical to our success. 145 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: My axiosity red just get to give up a stat now. 146 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure I made a bunch of them. 147 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 3: I give to you that this. 148 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: Relations people remnist about what should you be sound liking 149 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: to the out involved and what has that do it. 150 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: It's meant I think the relationship with with players and 151 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: specifically asked about Aju, it has meant a lot. I've 152 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: watched them grow, I've watched them mature.

You know, 157 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: we reach out and text each other during the things 158 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: that happened good to each other, and sometimes things don't 159 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: go so well for for the people that you're close 160 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: with and you text those as well.

Some teams 169 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: go over and then they come rushing in and then 170 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: then the next team's late. So that's the process. It's 171 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: how long you can keep them past eighteen minutes for 172 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: the person that's taking them to the other room standing 173 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: outside the room banging on it. But it's you know, 174 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: some guys have a lot to talk about. Some guys 175 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: have not as much. And I think everybody has a story, 176 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: everybody has a journey. Some some players have a little 177 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: bit more in their journey that you have to unpack, 178 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: and sometimes you have to do you know, there's obviously 179 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: follow up, and this is a good first setting. With 180 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: forty five players might go ahead, Bud. 181 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: With these three, it's appropriate audience. 182 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: Well, I don't want to tell you what it is 183 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: because we're still working through it, you know, we don't 184 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: you know, I mean we we want to have a plan, 185 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: and we want to bring in really talented players that 186 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: we have a vision for UH, that we also believe 187 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: in the type of character that they have as we 188 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: build this team UH and improve on on what we 189 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: did this year. And we know how difficult that will be. 190 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: So right now the plan is to evaluate everybody that 191 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: we can have communication and conversations when when those times 192 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: come with the with the agents we approach the tampering window. 193 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: But right now it's about gaining information from our scouting 194 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: department and having our coaches look at it and then 195 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: figuring out, you know, a few players at each position 196 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: that that may. 197 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: Help us as you prefer to have process more tap 198 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: space than the list from now. 199 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: I've never really tried to get focused, you know. I mean, 200 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: if I shop at neven Marcus or Nordstrom or something, 201 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: I've gotten to the point now in my life where 202 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: if I want something, I can usually buy it. I 203 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: don't you know, I'm sure Richard Miller and Elliott and 204 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: Macro will will work and do everything that they can 205 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: to help us sign the players within certain exceptions. You know, 206 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: I just I haven't even gotten that far. Just if 207 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: you like something, usually just try to buy it. 208 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: That's some part of that circus at the time. 209 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: Well, I think there's always time to be aggressive, but 210 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: not reckless. And you know, we certainly understand what premium 211 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks cost in this league and where they get to 212 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: and what they should be compensated. So you know, we'll 213 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: we'll do our best to to build and continue to 214 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: build a roster worthy of competing for a championship. 215 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 3: Well, if you can. 216 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 2: Offer expe it's just that's the team. 217 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 3: They'll goodbye. 218 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,599 Speaker 1: I mean, I do you know again, I've tried to 219 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: say that this is a terrible ending to a pretty 220 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: fantastic season, one that I enjoyed probably as much as 221 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: any other season that I've been a part of, just 222 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: from building it and enjoying coming to work into relationships 223 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: and bringing together people that were there in place and 224 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: people that we brought in new and players that were 225 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: there and staff that was there, and then also adding 226 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: to that and knowing that how delicate that can be. 227 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: You know, I enjoyed all that, So I didn't enjoy losing, 228 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: certainly not that game. And then we have, you know, 229 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: there's work to do. There's we're already back at the 230 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: combine and this thing is rolling, and you know, players 231 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: will come in in April twentieth and again we'll have 232 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: to have a program in place that's modified from one 233 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: they just went through. And however modifications that we make. 234 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 2: To that oah, we're still chilling that successful season. Then 235 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 2: it is a part of your job being age expectee. 236 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I think expectations should always be high. They 237 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: were high when we started this thing just a little 238 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: over a year ago. Well yeah, you know, look at 239 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: the schedule, see where we go, See when we go 240 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: to Seattle, see when we go to l A. Just 241 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: everything's a different challenge. But that's a little far out, 242 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: I think. Right now. It's about from a coaching standpoint, 243 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: what we did well, how we can enhance it, the 244 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: new ideas. We have to have fresh ideas, you know, 245 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: to what we're doing in all three phases. That's been 246 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: the you know, my, my, you know, direction to the 247 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: players or to the staff is to uh, to go 248 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: through and focus on what we can do to enhance 249 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: the core concepts. But also I need to see some 250 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: new ideas that you know, maybe forces us to push 251 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: ourselves in a different direction and not not a wholesale change, 252 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: but you know, things that we feel like can help us, 253 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: but that are also new. 254 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: Follow up on mail? What makes him a good up? 255 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 3: Once here? Who? 256 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: I think Arthur has got a physicality to him, a 257 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: toughness to him that he wants to put onto the 258 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: football field offensively. Uh, He's creative enough. He's worked with 259 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: a number of different players that I think they they 260 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: enjoy some of the wrinkles that he has. I think 261 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: he's got some core concepts that he enjoys, and he's 262 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: always been an aggressive play car. 263 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: What does he need to what he needs to know? 264 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: My first job was at Ohio State. I didn't know anything. 265 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: So I'm certainly not going to tell him, uh give 266 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: him any advice. I think what he does is is 267 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: going to be uh plenty, and that's uh to put 268 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: the players first, make connections with him, do what the 269 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: players do best when chah it really changes each and 270 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: every interview. UH for me, you know, I kind of 271 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: sit there and listen for a little bit, and you know, 272 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: just try to go in any direction and try to 273 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: chime in where I can, and you know, but I 274 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: don't have like a set list of questions that kind of, 275 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: you know, I'm one of those reporters caring that kind 276 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: of goes with the flow and I feed off their answer. 277 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: Then I go, I don't have a list like you guys. 278 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: You come up and you have a list of questions 279 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: that you have to ask me. I asked questions based 280 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: off the answers I get, just trying to be authentic 281 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: and open up about you know again, things that have 282 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: happened and their growth, their maturity, things that they need 283 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: that they feel like they need to be successful from 284 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: support people or coaching, and where they feel like their 285 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: development is. And we don't spend a bunch of time 286 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: on x's and o's in eighteen minutes. We don't. We 287 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: will have opportunity to do that down the line, Mike, 288 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: have you balanced? And I'm creating the list afraid. 289 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: And. 290 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: I just try to look at it. I mean, really, 291 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: I haven't looked at much of the draft guys personally, 292 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: you know, outside of what we looked at briefly uh 293 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: in Foxborough before we came. But try to look at 294 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: the free agents, try to understand while we're here who 295 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: these players are. A lot of these guys, I'm eet 296 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: and really are excited to look at their film just 297 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: based on their energy and they're just how they presented 298 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: themselves and the passion in which they spoke. I'm excited 299 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: to go and watch them. Well, I think that there's 300 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: got to be a violence. There's got to be ability 301 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: to to move off the football and to to create 302 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: some some sort of disruption. You know, you have to 303 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: be able to factor in on the quarterback. You have 304 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: to be able to make plays on the football. We 305 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: know the quarterback is responsible for the most uh turnovers 306 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: you know in football. So can they affect the quarterback 307 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: and then the ability to set the edge rush and 308 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: have enough coverage acumen that the few times we ask 309 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: them to do it, that they can do it. 310 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 2: Mike, bitch about the spots all you just scru Yeah, Ballance. 311 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: It's probably gotten better, you know what I mean? Again, 312 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that our staff has 313 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: time with their families, you know, in the off season. 314 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm always I tell them all the time. If there's 315 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: stuff that they need to do in the off season, 316 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: now's the time to do it. Don't you know, don't 317 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: miss something and blame me, because that's that's not accurate. 318 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: If they tell their wife or to tell their kid, hey, 319 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: I couldn't come because Coach Rabel said, you know that, 320 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: that's that's a lie. I want them to be able 321 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: to do those things. We put a lot of work in. 322 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: It was a long season, and we were excited to 323 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: work as long as we did. But you have to 324 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: be able to get away. You have to be able 325 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: to spend time with with people that care about you. 326 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: They they they went on this journey with us too, 327 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: that lasted until February. They were wearing it too. The 328 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: their anxiety, their nerves, their all their feelings that we 329 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: had they had as well. 330 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 3: Black up being violent about the old. 331 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: Just being violent and say, well, I don't think that 332 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: that's you know, you're probably talking about two different things. 333 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: I think your your actions in the style of play 334 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: has to always mirror with you know, what we're doing 335 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: as a defense. But we don't want to take away 336 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: their ability to make a play. If the tackle over 337 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: sets come inside, you know know who the quarterback is. 338 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: You know if if alignment, you know, maybe reaches you 339 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: too much and you can come under and you can 340 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: create a play in the backfield. That those are things 341 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: we want them to do. We don't want to coach robots, 342 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, that's not going to get it done. But 343 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: we can't. We can't have guys that are just you know, 344 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: doing their own thing. We at the mobile quarterback and 345 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: a certain coverage and then now we give up an 346 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: next play or just making sure that everybody's on the 347 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: same page as is the most important thing. 348 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 3: Roger Goodell talked again about diversity go tea that definitely 349 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 3: seem to be it is, which rest that what we've 350 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 3: done with the patter advanced wider. 351 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: Well, the thing for me that's really critical is the 352 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: diversity of ideas and backgrounds of race allows us to 353 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: make sure that every one of the ninety players that 354 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: we have or ninety one players that will take the 355 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: camp doesn't fall through any crack. That if they need something, 356 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: if they need some extra teaching, if they need something 357 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: off the field, whether it's whoever it is, that that 358 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: one of those players doesn't fall through the cracks. And 359 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: that's that's really important to me. We want that, we 360 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: want the best coaches and want the best people. But 361 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: but the diversity of ideas, backgrounds, and race is critical 362 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: because our players are coming. You know, we're getting players 363 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: from everywhere across the country and even you know we'll 364 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: add an international player as well, So thank you, benetfsub. 365 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 3: Gra Yep. That was. 366 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: Well briefly, you know, they talked about the idea and 367 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: and how we have to as a league prepare and 368 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: what we need to do, just like on our football 369 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: team and everybody else's football team that they're preparing for 370 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: things that that may come up. And some of those 371 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: things don't don't end up happening, but we always have 372 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: to have a plan and be prepared for anything that 373 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: could come up, especially one that we're aware of, which 374 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: is in a negotiation. So thank you. Okay, Taylors them 375 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: tight end of this, but we thok there's so many 376 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: body types and skill sets position we're certain non negostble 377 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: with roll and Gottoes. Well, I mean again, it's you know, 378 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: there's gonna be different styles of tight end, right, ones 379 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: that are going to be maybe better pass catchers and 380 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: better you know, harder tougher matchups. Uh for for defenses, 381 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: there's gonna be guys that are more suited at the 382 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. There's gonna be the guys that are 383 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: suited to more movement blocks. You know, you see these 384 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: as I talk about it, you know, being being able 385 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: to create some movement before the snap going laterally that 386 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: then could transition into you know, getting into the line 387 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. So you see these tight end blocks that 388 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: are kind of changing and evolving, and we have to 389 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: be conscious of who we have and how we need 390 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: to run the football. And you know, ideas that we 391 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: can give them your money. That's all what we were 392 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: well well at all levels of football and whether that's 393 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: you know, in the collegiate level, at all different levels. 394 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: You know, around the league, very few coaches come up 395 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: with their own ideas. I'll tell you that. So, yeah, 396 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: everybody wants to be a guru, but you look around 397 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: and a lot of these things look the same, and 398 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of good ideas, and I tell them 399 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: it's only crazy if it doesn't work.
