1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Okay, coach Belichick has join us. We'll open up with

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: a quick comment and then I'll take your questions. Go ahead, coach.

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Uh right, Well we uh I think since we last

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: saw you, um, you know, just continuing to work through

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: uh you know, grind through it here to day by

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: day this spring, and you know we've gotten a lot

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: of teaching in continue to do that. Um, you know,

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: just trying to progress a little bit each day in

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: terms of not really situational football, but you know, starting

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: to get into more of football instead of just you know,

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: drills and fundamentals that kind of thing. Of course it's

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: all it's all tied together, but just trying to move

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: forward a little bit each day with um, you know,

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: things that relate to uh specific situations and and so forth.

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: And UM, so we've you know, obviously got a long

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: way to go, but um, making progress day by day

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: and and continue to you know, spend time with our

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: corrections after practice and a little bit of new installation

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: for the following day or whenever the next session is

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: and so forth. But um, that's some you know, good

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: good warm weather out there, good Boston weather last couple

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: of weeks and so that's think helped us a little

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: bit too with our just overall conditioning and um, you know,

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: ability to go out there and and uh run around

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: and improve our our fundamentals and and um and time

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: on the field and you know, quality of time on

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: the field. So um, whatever we get, we get. But

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: that's that's been good. And so just try to keep

29
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: straining these days together and as we kind of head

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: towards the finish line here and do as much as

31
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: we can to uh teach and instruct our players and

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: our team to be in position to get off to

33
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: a good starting training camp. So that's uh, that's where

34
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: we are today here June tenth. Uh, and just a

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: reminder to un meet yourself when you come on, turn

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: your camera on. We'll start with Joe Kiota fall by

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: Mike Preas. Good morning, Bill, How are you good? Good Joe?

38
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: How's it gone good? Good? Just first question about Cam? Um,

39
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: I know he left last week. UM, do you have

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: an injury update on it? Is he out there and

41
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: how is he progressing from that end injury that he

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: suffered last Friday. Oh yeah, he's doing all right. Um,

43
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: he won't participate today, but you know he's he's getting better,

44
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: So nothing serious. Oh no, well he's not out there,

45
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: so but he'll he'll, he'll, I think he'll be all right. Yeah,

46
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: thanks Bill. Next question Mike Priest fall by Ben vol

47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: and Bill Um. When Cam isn't out there, how does

48
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: that change the division of what you do when you

49
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: have four and go down to three? Does that put

50
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: more on the plate of like one guy two guys?

51
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: How do you do that? Oh? Yeah, well just goes

52
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: everybody more opportunities. So um, A lot of the drills

53
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: that we did are are two spot drills, so that's

54
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: two and two when you have four. If it's a

55
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: two spot drill and you have three, then you know

56
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: there's there's one person in one spot and two in

57
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: the other spot. But you know, Josh does a good

58
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: job of of working that out and depending on what

59
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: we're doing and what each individual player needs and so forth,

60
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: of trying to get the right you know, the right

61
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: amount of work to the guys. However it breaks down,

62
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: so um, he's he's got a lot of experience doing that.

63
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Josh does a great job of of getting everybody prepared

64
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: and and that can come in a variety of ways

65
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: from meetings to walk throughs, to practice reps, to how

66
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: we split them up in individual drills and so forth.

67
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: So there's there's a lot of different opportunities and um,

68
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: you know, he he's done it um very well and

69
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: continues to do that. So you know, we've talked about it,

70
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: but you know, individually, he's the one who has to

71
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, really make those decisions and he does a

72
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: great job. But in them specific to to Mac, just

73
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: in this teaching based setting, how how are you observing

74
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: how he's picking up what you're teaching? Well, I think

75
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: everybody's is coming along. Um. Again, there's a lot of

76
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: a lot of teaching, a lot of instruction for any

77
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: player that hasn't been in this system, and there's plenty

78
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: for the ones that have. But you know they're they're

79
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: all working at it. Mac's working at it just like

80
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: everybody else, and you know, there's there's a lot for

81
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: all these guys to learn and absorb and it just

82
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: keeps piling up each day. But you know, as a group,

83
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: they've they've worked hard and we're making progress. So we're

84
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: certainly not anywhere near where we need to be, but

85
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: we're further ahead than we were yesterday. Or the day

86
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: before or last week, and so you know things are

87
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: moving in the right direction. Next question Ben Vold Fought

88
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: by Chris Ryan. Good morning, Bill. I wanted to ask

89
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: you about Jared Stidham. He started the offseason as the

90
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: only quarterback and then he's seen the team add Cam Newton,

91
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, now Brian Hoyer. NFL teams usually don't keep

92
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks, so I probably mean someone's going to be

93
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: on the outside looking in. How do you think Jared's

94
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: handled himself and the competition handled just being in having

95
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: a group that size, and do you still have an

96
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: open mind about Jared Stidham and his feature with the team?

97
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: All right? Well, the three quarterbacks that we're here last

98
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: year are still here and we drafted Max, so you know,

99
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: that is what it is. There's competition at every position.

100
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: And really I think you know, any good professional player,

101
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: any good football player, has basically the same mindset, and

102
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: that's to go out and and improve, you know, each

103
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: in his individual performance, and you know, go out there

104
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: and perform as well as he can. And you can't

105
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: control what anybody else does. You can control what you do,

106
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: and you can control your preparation and and your attitude

107
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: and your performance. And that's what you go out and do.

108
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: That's what that's what every player does or should do.

109
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: And you know Jared's does that, and you know, let's

110
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: say so it's really pretty much everybody else on the team.

111
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: That's all you can control. So go out there and

112
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: do it. Next question Chris Running Thought by Andrew Callahan

113
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: Morning Built. Whether it's with Mac or with any of

114
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: the rookies coming in, how important in your view is

115
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: this time period the OTAs and the mini caam to

116
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: get them up to speed And how do you determine

117
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: whether or not they are picking up what you want

118
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: to pick up or how do you evaluate, you know,

119
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: if you're pretty too much on them, et cetera during

120
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: this time period in which they're trying to grow. Yeah,

121
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: well we we it's hard to it's hard to set

122
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: up a teaching schedule for you know, an individual player. Um,

123
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, you set up your your teaching and installation

124
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: in a in a progressive way, you know, a pyramiding way,

125
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: so that you you know, lay a strong foundation and um,

126
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: you know build up from there. Uh, you build up

127
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: for the entire team. Uh, you can't just you know,

128
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: say geared towards one guy or geared towards another guy. UM.

129
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: Some players, you know, are going to be at the

130
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 1: right pace. Some players are going to be a little

131
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: behind that pace. Some players with experience maybe a little

132
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: ahead of that pace. Uh. And then each position coach

133
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 1: can going to tailor that to the individual that he's

134
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: working with and where they are in that progression. UM.

135
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: So guys that have less experience or are behind for

136
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: whatever reason than you know, you try to a position coach,

137
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: and and sometimes other veteran players will try to you know,

138
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: help that that person with additional film time or classroom

139
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: time or whatever it is. Um, particularly for players not

140
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: on the field practicing. If he's on the field practicing,

141
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: then you know he's able to use those practice reps

142
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: to work on. But it's an individual fundamental skill or

143
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: a team concept, the execution of a play and that

144
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: type of thing. So there are a lot of different

145
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: there are a lot of different ways that a player

146
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: learns and progresses. And for some players that are advanced, UM,

147
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: a lot of times you take them and work on

148
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: something that's very specific to what they do that maybe

149
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: the other players at that position don't do. And and

150
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: try to work on things that would really help them

151
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: and improve their play that we may not get to

152
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: for a while. But if they can improve their individual skill,

153
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: then when we come to those those plays and those techniques,

154
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: they'll be more proficient at them. So there's a general

155
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: overall you know, learning progression and structure that gets modified

156
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: for each individual by the position coach and ultimately try

157
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: to put the player in a position where he can

158
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: go out and compete and practice and show us what

159
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: he can do, and then that can lead. If that's

160
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: done well and done at a high enough level, then

161
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: that would give the player an opportunity to compete in

162
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: preseason or you know, game situations. Some players, for whatever reason,

163
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: may not practice as well as they play. Some players

164
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: may not play as well as they practice. Practice in

165
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: games aren't the same. I mean there's a degree of carryover, certainly,

166
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: But some players play and react and and and take

167
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: and are able to utilize the physical nature of football

168
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: to change or improve their performance differently than what you

169
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: see in a practice setting. So it all adds up.

170
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: It all, it all helps the players progression. The evaluation

171
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: ultimately comes in in competitive situations, and we're not really

172
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: in those, yet in fact we're quite a ways from them.

173
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: So guys will go out and they'll, like all of

174
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: us would do the first time you do something, make

175
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: a mistake, not do it correctly, learn from it, go

176
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: out and maybe pretty good at it. So it's hard

177
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: to evaluate people off of just you know, one or

178
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: two opportunities of doing something. But over time that accumulates,

179
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: and the more information you have, the more opportunities you

180
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: have to evaluate how a player is doing and how

181
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: he's progressing, whether he's leveling off, whether he's his improvement

182
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: as spiking or maybe gradually inclining. Then you know, more

183
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: time you have, the more better chance you have being

184
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: right on those evaluations. And of course there's a lot

185
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: of other factors that come into it as well that

186
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: could be relevant. So we're not really in the evaluation

187
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: process at this moment. We're in the teaching and trying

188
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: to get the team to a point where we can

189
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: compete against each other and in preseason against um our

190
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: preseason opponents or joint practices or whatever the case might be,

191
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: and then we'll those will be the real evaluation periods.

192
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: Next count and your account hand followed by Doug Kite Hey,

193
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: good morning, Bill. Andrew um So. Rondrivera mentioned the other

194
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: day that he had brought in what he called a

195
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: vaccine expert to speak with some of his players who

196
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: were concerned about the vaccine or wanted more information. And

197
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: I know you're not concerned with what any other team

198
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: in the league is doing. Um So, I get that,

199
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: But I'm curious understanding that how much of your rosters

200
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: vaccinated cannon will affect how you meet during the regular season,

201
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: perhaps provided a competitive advantage for certain teams. You know,

202
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: have you brought in someone who could be described as

203
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: a vaccine expert to speak to your players, and if not,

204
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: do you plan to do so well? I mean, first

205
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: of all, we'll comply with whatever the whatever the NFL

206
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: policies and rules are as it relates to all that.

207
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: Um So, that's all out of our hands, out of

208
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: my hands. Um every team will will deal with that.

209
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: Um I don't think there are teams that have done

210
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: any more than we have um in this area. So

211
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: I feel like our players are informed and have the

212
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: opportunity to be informed. Um So, I'm I'm pretty comfortable

213
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: with you know, what we do for what we what

214
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: the organization mister Kraft and our training medical staff. UM,

215
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: what we've done for everybody here. UM. But there's always

216
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: new information, there's always updates. UM. Situations change, sometimes expectedly,

217
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: sometimes unexpectedly, and well we'll always keep everyone informed and

218
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: and make decisions that are best for individuals and for

219
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: the football team. U. Will it be this specific situation

220
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: or any others that would be similar to it? That's

221
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: how we've always done it. I can't imagine that would

222
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: ever change. I feel like we're on top of it,

223
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: and we're in front of it, and we'll be compliant

224
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: with whatever rules or guidelines we're given by the league

225
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: and to some degree the state. But there's you know,

226
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: when when those two don't align perfectly, then you know

227
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: we're bound by league guidelines. Next question to kind fall

228
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: back Chris Gasper, Good morning, Bill your reference joint practices

229
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: in your previous answer, is there anything set up so

230
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,239
Speaker 1: far for the summer? Well, I think that's a possibility.

231
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see how it goes. And it looks

232
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: like you guys, you guys have competition pretty much across

233
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position, and how do you feel about

234
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: your depth at that position? And what have you seen

235
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: from some of the young guys like Trey Nixon and

236
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Isaiah Zuber so far the spring right again that you know,

237
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: Doug that that answer is really the same for all

238
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: players and all positions. A lot of teaching, a lot

239
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: of instruction. We haven't really had competitive practices where that's

240
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: not what we're doing now. We're working against each other,

241
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: but those are very much working conditions as opposed to

242
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: highly competitive situations. So we'll see how the competition turns

243
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: out when guys actually have an opportunity to do that.

244
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: As far as learning and progressing, and if they're on

245
00:15:53,160 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: the team, then they're they're working to whatever capacity they can. Um,

246
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: they're hopefully improving and hopefully they're putting themselves in a

247
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: position to engage in that competition when they get the opportunity.

248
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: So we'll see how all that turns out. Um, you know,

249
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: in depths all relative. That's you know, depth in June

250
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: and depth in November. I mean that's it's it's two

251
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: different conversations. So, UM, I don't know what. I don't

252
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: know what depth is or isn't that That change is

253
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: pretty pretty quickly in this league. Um, we're always trying

254
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: to have as competitive a roster as we can at

255
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: whatever point we're at. But until we have any regular

256
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: season competitive games, um, you know, there's certainly an opportunity

257
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: for that to change at any or every position. So

258
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes. I don't know. Last question,

259
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: Chris Gaspin, Hey, I hope this finds you well. I

260
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: just wanted to ask you. The NFLPA obviously has given

261
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: some guidance to players to stay away from these OTA sessions.

262
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: There are some teams that have negotiated with the coaching

263
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 1: staff to change some of the things that are normally

264
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: done Miami, for example, wearing sandals. Has anything changed for

265
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: you and your coaches during these OTAs in terms of

266
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 1: on field approach or protocols or the schedule based on

267
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: conversations you've had with your players who are following NFLPA guidance, Yeah,

268
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: I think we have a good line of communication with

269
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: our players and the players representatives whatever that happens to be.

270
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: So again, we'll continue to do what we feel as

271
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: best for our team and the players. And again it's

272
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: all voluntary. So some players are here, some players aren't,

273
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: and that's you know, that's the way it's set up.

274
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: I don't have any problem with that. That's you know,

275
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: all the teams are into the same guidelines, so um,

276
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: we'll do what we feel as best for our team.

277
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure every other team will do the same thing.

278
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: And that's really that's about the way it goes
