Speaker 1: Thank you, guys. Facing mccordy joins us. We're gonna start

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: with Tara Sullivan, fall by Mike Ciarity Sarah, I can't

3
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: hear you, neither can I. All right, we'll come back

4
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: to that. We'll start with Mike Greece, followed by Mike

5
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: Curity Jason, how are you today? I'm doing well? About

6
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: you all? Yeah, I'm doing well. I think, you know,

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: every day it seems like in this pandemic, we're reminded that,

8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's the human the human side of things,

9
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: and I know you talk about you've mentioned, you've touched

10
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: on it. I'm just curious, how is this taking a

11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: toll on you and your teammates and how you're managing it? Oh? Man,

12
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: you know he's I don't want to speak for everybody.

13
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: These guys are all individual, but it's it's definitely been

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: a fresh right and I think the one thing we're

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: accustomed to as players is you become kind of routine oriented,

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: and you know, each each Wednesday's a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: and follow through throughout the course of the week, and

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: obviously starting with last week, being forced to fly out

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: and play in the game and fly back was definitely

20
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: not ideal situation at all. Takes a toll on your body.

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: You fly back, and then obviously throughout the course of

22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: this week with everything COVID related us happened with our team.

23
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: Here we are, I guess, two days out from a game,

24
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: getting our first practice, and so I know, for myself,

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: as an older guy who tries to I would say

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: represent the rest of the guys in the locker room

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: on calls this week with the PA and trying to

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: figure out, you know, who has our best interests in mind.

29
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: And I would say kind of throughout all of this

30
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: the realization that is not a league wide thing, it's

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: kind of a team thing, you know, for us in

32
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: this locker room, this is what we have, you know,

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: between the players, the coaches, the administration, the staff, it's

34
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: up to us to kind of take care of one another,

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: to make sure physically we're all set made sure mentally

36
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: because I think outside of here, the people that don't

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: have to walk in our building, whether it's the league

38
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: office or whether it's the NFLPA, they don't care. I mean,

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: we're trying to get games played and we're trying to

40
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: get the season going. So for them, it's not about

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: what's in our best interests, our health and safety. It's

42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: about you know, what can we make protocol wise that

43
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: sounds good, looks good, and how can we go out

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: there and play games? So I think what I kind

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: of learned personally throughout this situation, it's going to be

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: up to us as the individuals in this building to

47
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: just really take care of one another. And that's beyond

48
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: just trying to be responsible and do things the right

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: way COVID related, but as we go throughout last week

50
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: and this week, just mentally kind of checking in on

51
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: each other, like, man, how are you doing? Like there's

52
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: guys staying in hotels this week away from their family, Like, hey,

53
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: how's everything going, how's your wife, how's the kids? So

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: I've been have been impressed from that our ability, through

55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: virtual meetings, through whatever we've done to just continue to

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: stick together, find reasons to laugh through this and just

57
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: kind of build our bond as a team over before

58
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: next question Mike Gierni fall by Mark Daniels after Jason,

59
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: how have you personally tried to keep yourself locked in

60
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: physically and mentally as well, Maybe more mentally than physically,

61
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: just in terms of like you said, you don't really

62
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: know when the next practice is going to be. You

63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: don't really know when the next game is going to be.

64
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: The mental part from me hasn't been the most challenging.

65
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: You know. Obviously you'd love to go out there and

66
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: be able to practice sit in meetings, but I've been

67
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: in a hotel, been away from my family, So the

68
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: ability to turn on my iPad and break down film

69
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: and get those kind of mental reps and kind of

70
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: lock in for football or whether it's hey, I'm watching

71
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: film for the next hour and a half and I'll

72
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: take a break, then I'll come back watch some more.

73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: It's been more of the physical has been challenging. You know,

74
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm a guy who's thirty three. This is year twelve.

75
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: I usually do multiple massages throughout the course of the week,

76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: and obviously with everything going on, you're not gonna put

77
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: somebody else in harm's way with going out and getting

78
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: any type of body where we haven't been able to

79
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: get treatment and things of that nature just because we're

80
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: trying to do things the safest way as possible. So

81
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: I think those type of things haven't mental, I mean

82
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: have a physical impact. You're not able to practice. So

83
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: I think I try to go out and find go

84
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: to like a park and do some stuff by myself,

85
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: nobody around me, nobody coming together, just me, but it's

86
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: not the same. So I think the biggest challenge this

87
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: week has been for us physically of just trying to

88
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: make sure we're getting out there or running a little bit,

89
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: because you don't want to just show up on Monday

90
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: and just roll the ball out there and say, hey,

91
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: we haven't done anything football oriented since last Monday. Hey

92
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: but we're pro athletes. Hey we can just roll the

93
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: ball out there and play like not. There's a preparation

94
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: that goes in each and every week to get our body,

95
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: our minds, and everything primed to go full speed ahead

96
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: on game day. So just trying to just trying to

97
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: recreate whatever routine we can has been a challenge, but

98
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: something that we're working through and I would say I'm

99
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: very proud of as a team how we've handled it,

100
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: from our players, to our coaches, to our administration, just

101
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: everybody making you feel comfortable in a very chaotic situation

102
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: of just knowing like, hey, we're testing, we have everybody's

103
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: best interests in mind. We're doing the things we can

104
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: and that are necessary to stay as safe as possible.

105
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: So for me, as a guy that's been around for

106
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: a long time, that's very pleasing to see and it

107
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: makes you want to come to work and fight for

108
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: the guys around you. You mentioned staying in a hotel.

109
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: Is that because of the positive tests and you just

110
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: want to keep your family safe? Yeah, for sure, I

111
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: think for me and there's a few other guys just

112
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: trying to go about it the best way, you know. Obviously,

113
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: that was kind of a plan me and my wife

114
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: talked about before the season even happened, because we're living

115
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: through a pandemic, so you can't just assume like, hey,

116
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: we're never gonna have a positive test. The chances are

117
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: it is going to happen to somebody, and we talked

118
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: about that, Hey, I'll just kind of isolate myself away,

119
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: make sure I stay away until everything's kind of cleared

120
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: and the virus kind of runs its course and we're

121
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: all set. Before I went back into the house. Next

122
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: question Mark Daniels, followed by Teras solving it Jason Hope,

123
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: all as well, You've you've touched on this kind of

124
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: sort of throughout this entire interview, but just I'm difficult

125
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: of a situation is it for you guys to really

126
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: have one practice on Saturday and a walkthrough on Sunday

127
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: but before playing, and it just gets you know, there's

128
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: nothing you can do about it. But just how hard

129
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: of a challenge is that to sort of have this

130
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: be the case. I would say twenty has been a challenge,

131
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: challenge after challenge, you know, and I think we're just

132
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: continuing to work our way through. It is definitely a challenge,

133
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: is different, and it's kind of just the next thing

134
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: in front of us. And I felt like we've done

135
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: a good job as a team with our virtual meetings,

136
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: guys being locked in doing as much as we can.

137
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: I know, guys are watching film on our own. Thank

138
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: you the technology. We all have our iPads. We can

139
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: pull up film on there. We have our game plan

140
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: on there, so we're able to go through it even

141
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: outside of our virtual meetings. So obviously, you would love

142
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: to be around each other. You would love to be practicing.

143
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: I'd love to be getting in the hot tub, the

144
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: cold tub and get my lift in and all of

145
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: those different things that you're accustomed to throughout the course

146
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: of a game week, but that wasn't available to us

147
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: this week for reasons that makes sense and that we understand.

148
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: So it's definitely a challenge, but I think it's up

149
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: to us as players to play for one another and

150
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: make sure. Hey, I want to go win for Staff.

151
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: I want to go win for cam Bill Murray, those

152
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: guys who aren't here right now. So I'm going to

153
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: do everything I possibly can to go out and prepare

154
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: myself to be as ready as I possibly can come Monday.

155
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: You couldn't find a room with the Jacuz in it,

156
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: Just kidding. Thank thanks many a right. Next question Tara Sullivan,

157
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: followed by Bob Sisson. Hey, Jason, thank you for doing this. Um,

158
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: but I wanted to ask you specifically about coach Beltic's

159
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: decision to keep your facility closed on Friday. Um. You know,

160
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: under normal circumstances, I can't imagine him ever giving up

161
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: a competitive advantage if you will, but these are not

162
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: normal circumstances. What did it say to you? What is

163
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: the message and that did you guys have input in that?

164
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: What does it say to you that that he did

165
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: that and kept it close out of caution? Yeah? I

166
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: think that goes towards kind of how I started is um.

167
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: I think he has the team, and not only the

168
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: team of the players, but everybody that's in this building.

169
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: Everybody's health and wellness is in the forefront, and I

170
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: think that speaks volumes of what we're going through right now.

171
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: And I don't want to sound like we're victims or anything.

172
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: We're going through the same exact thing that you guys

173
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: are going through and everybody in our nation right now.

174
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: The coronavirus has has stopped us all and we've all

175
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: had to figure it out. And that's what we're doing here,

176
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: no different than my kids figuring out how they're going

177
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: to go to school this year, or anybody else throughout

178
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: our country. And I think he felt like, just from

179
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: different doctors and medical experts who have who have been

180
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: studying and getting to know this virus, that it was

181
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: in our best interest not to be around each other

182
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: because there was still a lot of uncertainty and a

183
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: lot of unknown So I think as as a captain,

184
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: as a player on this team, you appreciate that you're

185
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: not put in a bind and you don't have to

186
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: choose between hey, am I putting myself in danger or

187
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, but it makes you proud

188
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: that we've done everything we possibly can as we've re

189
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: entered the building and we re enter whatever you'll call

190
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: our norm for this year, would be willing to I'm sorry, Stacy,

191
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: just a quick follow, but Jason, we all know that

192
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: it's a mixed message nationally, like we're not all following

193
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,599
Speaker 1: the same things and doing the same thing. Are you

194
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: ever frustrated that you guys seem to be doing right

195
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: what you think is the right thing, and around the

196
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: nation maybe not everybody is What do you mean around

197
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: the nation by that? I mean, you know, from the

198
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: president on down. I mean, I don't mean to make

199
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: it political. I just mean in general, like some people

200
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: don't want to do social distancing or whatever, and you

201
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: guys want to be able to play games. You're not

202
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: in the bubble, and you seem to be trying to

203
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: do everything right. Yeah. I don't want to comment on

204
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: anyone's individual opinion on what they think about distancing or

205
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: mask or anything of that nature. I think for us,

206
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: we're respecting those protocols and we're trying to do them

207
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: the best way that we can. I can't, you know,

208
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: I can't judge or place my own opinion on anybody

209
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: else or whatever they're given situation is for whatever reason.

210
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: I know for me and my family since everything started,

211
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: we've kind of been isolated. We've been to ourselves. But

212
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: whatever everybody else decides to do, I know it's been

213
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: different in so many different parts of our countries, in

214
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: different states, the virus has spread different. So you know,

215
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: everybody's from their own opinion, from their own experiences, in

216
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: their own knowledge. So I won't anybody on the way

217
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: they choose to go about things and protect and do

218
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: things for their own families. Thank you. One quick announcement

219
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: Deamon Harris or colin audible here. Damon Harris is now

220
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: in Michael's room. We'll continue with Bob soci followed by

221
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: Ivan Lazar. I think Stacy Jason, have you checked in

222
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: with Steph and cam Bill Murray? You know, how are

223
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: those guys doing at this point. I'ven't talked to all

224
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: of them, but I think they're all doing fine. They're

225
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: all isolated. I know I've talked to Steph the other

226
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: day and I think he's feeling fine. And it's just

227
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: a matter of this thing has to run its course.

228
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: You know no different than anybody else that's experienced navirus.

229
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: So they're doing everything they possibly can to get as

230
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: healthy as they possibly can, and whenever they're able to

231
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: rejoin us, obviously we'll welcome them and open arms and

232
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: continue to proceed forward. And related to Terry's question, Cam,

233
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: as we know as a father, of course, Stefan has

234
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: young children as well. I'm not sure about Bill's background,

235
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: but regardless of as family members and loved ones, you

236
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: do too, as you've referenced, like a lot of your teammates,

237
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: you guys committed to playing this season after considering all

238
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: the factors going into the year, and now that we're

239
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: at this point, what is important? What's important for people

240
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: on the outside to understand about football players? You have

241
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: a job to do and people want to see football

242
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: being played, But he had at the same time, you know,

243
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: based on what it's transpired, you have to think about

244
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: what's in the best interest of you and your loved

245
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: ones going forward. Do people have to understand about professional

246
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: football players as people too? From that standpoint, yeah, I

247
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: don't know if there's anything so I would say understand.

248
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: I think we all go through the same things. We're

249
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: not the only fathers out there. I think for other people,

250
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: whatever your line of work is, I know throughout this pandemic,

251
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: you'd go on social media, you'd see nurses that have

252
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: decided to stop working because they feel as though their

253
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: interactions on a daily basis and going home as putting

254
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: their family in danger. We all have to make our

255
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: own individual decisions that we feel as in the best

256
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: entrance of our families. And I don't feel like for

257
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: us as players or a nurse, or a teacher or

258
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: anybody else, you don't have to get anyone to understand

259
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: or explain why you're making a decision that you're making.

260
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, you have to live

261
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: to whatever higher power, whoever you feel accountable, or whoever

262
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: the authority of your in your life is. And I

263
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: know for me, I'm not really concerned about trying to

264
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: get anyone to understand. I love the game of football.

265
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: I love to be I love to play. I love

266
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,599
Speaker 1: the guys in this locker room and the people in

267
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: this building, And for me, deciding to play was about

268
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: another year, an opportunity to play this sport and to

269
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: whether to share knowledge, go out there and compete. There's

270
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: so many intricacies of the game that I fell in

271
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: love with over my lifetime of playing it. But at

272
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: the same time, at any given moment, if I felt

273
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: like it was in the best interest of me and

274
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: my family for me to not be here, then that

275
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: will be the decision I make. But at the same time,

276
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: I've made a commitment to these guys and I want

277
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: to see that through. So you just got to hope

278
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: and pray that we're able to stay on the right

279
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: track and that we're just doing the right things. When

280
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: stuff does come up like what we're going through now,

281
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: we're able to make the correct decisions to keep everything

282
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: on the right track. Thanks Jason ye. Next question evon

283
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: luzarfol By Andrew killing him. Hey, Jason, I wanted to

284
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: ask you more football question. We saw you on Monday

285
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: night playing in the deep middle a lot and against

286
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City. I think that's kind of a new role

287
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: for you this year maybe and correct me if I'm

288
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: wrong there, but just how do you feel playing in

289
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: that spot and how do you feel like kind of

290
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: just you're doing developing into that sort of role. Yeah,

291
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: I think I spoke to you guys earlier in training

292
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: camp and I think somebody asked me what the departure

293
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: of Duran, what I'll be playing safety, And at that

294
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: time I told you, guys, hey, whatever this team needs

295
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: me to do at whatever role, I'm gonna fill it

296
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: and do it to the best of my ability. And

297
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: it just so happened this past Monday night versus Kansas City,

298
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: my role changed a little bit, you know, a little

299
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: bit in the deep half, in the deep middle going

300
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: against the tight ends and Kelsey going against the backs

301
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. So whatever is going to put us

302
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: in the best situation to go out there and compete

303
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: and trying to win on defense, Hey, I'm all for it.

304
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: If my role is on special teams, I'm all for it.

305
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: So it's been fun, you know. Obviously, you guys see

306
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: there's times where Devon and myself were both back there

307
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: as kids. You grow up wanting to play a sport

308
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: with your brother. So being back there both playing safe,

309
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: He's talking about different things throughout the course of the

310
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: WIG and doing things. It's a lot of fun. And

311
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: the group, especially in our back end that we have

312
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: and we just try to have fun out there. We

313
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: all try to compliment each other as much as we

314
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: possibly can and then obviously you guys know that corner

315
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: with j C, Steph John and myself. There's a ton

316
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: of talent there. So I think for us as a secondary,

317
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: we're just trying to get out there, whether it's AP, Doug, T, Brooks, Juwan,

318
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: we have a ton of guys back there playing and

319
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: we're all just trying to have the right combination to

320
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: go out there and competing. Way, how much communication does

321
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: it take when you're passing off those keep over routes

322
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: and things that for you guys to stay on top

323
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: of those and be able to pass those off as

324
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: seamlessly as you did. Yeah, a ton of communication, and

325
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: it's not really the communication that happens on Monday, is

326
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: a communication that happens all throughout the week. Whether we

327
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: go out there on a Wednesday and we practice something

328
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: and we think it's going to be this, but then

329
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: we get it in practice as those conversations Wednesday after

330
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: practice and meetings Thursday morning and meetings and as the

331
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: week continues, we continued to formulate, changing and tweaking our

332
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: plan or from when we get out there on Sunday

333
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: or Monday or this year it could be too whatever

334
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: day we're playing. So I think the fact that there's

335
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: been a lot of us that have been here over

336
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: the course of especially for me the last three years,

337
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: these conversations have just been on going. You know, we

338
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: can go into a game and right now it could

339
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: be like, Hey, we're gonna do the same thing we did,

340
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: hey two years ago against this player or versus this team.

341
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: So just continuing to work through those kinks and just

342
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: continue that communication and make sure, hey, when it all

343
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: goes down, we're on the same page. And I think

344
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: that's one of the huge advantages of having a guy

345
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: like deav behind all of us when we're out there

346
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: on the field. He's somebody who's been in this defense

347
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: for a long time. He's seen everything, and he's a

348
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: great communicator, so he's always talking to the guys in

349
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: front of us, anticipate this, or hey, when we get

350
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: to the sideline. We always have that surface we're going

351
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: over the place. Hey, the next time we get this,

352
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that, or hey on this side they

353
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: ran that. Hey now j C. They just did it

354
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: to Steph. You gotta be ready for it on your side.

355
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: So that constant communication, I think is something that's needed

356
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: on any defense. Thanks Jason. Yeah, and sorry this has

357
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: gone long. We're gonna make Andrew killing him the last question.

358
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: And sorry to those that I didn't get to go ahead, Hey, Jason,

359
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: things for time. I just want to go back to

360
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: step first. Second, because you never want to hear any

361
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: teammate test positive. But what was your reaction just knowing

362
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: you're someone who is in close contact with him the

363
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: whole time when whenever you found that Outum, yeah, at first,

364
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: kind of just hitting him up, kind of worried for him,

365
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: making sure like, hey, how do you feel? You know

366
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: what I mean? Are you as an extreme or There's

367
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: so many different symptoms that come along with it, everything

368
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: ranging from hey, I feel totally fine to hey I

369
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: feel I feel awful. So I think, first and foremost,

370
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: you're just trying to figure out how your guys doing,

371
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: what you can do to help them. Is there anything

372
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: you can drop off or whatever the case may be.

373
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: And then obviously that's why I've isolated myself. You know.

374
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: I think when I've decided to play the game and

375
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: to play this season, I knew the risk that I'm

376
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: putting myself in. So I think whenever something like that happens.

377
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm okay with if something happens to me, just trying

378
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: to do the best I can to make sure that

379
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't impact my wife and my three kids at home,

380
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: and whether my mom hasn't been in town this season

381
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: with everything COVID related, but just trying to keep everybody

382
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: around me as safe as possible. So my first instinct

383
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: was to make sure our step was good, and then

384
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: second was to kind of get out of the house

385
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: and make sure I can keep my family safe. One more.

386
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 1: I know you guys have been tested negative every day,

387
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: and all the tests so far I think they've come

388
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: back negative. But with the typical incubation period, it's usually

389
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: like four or five days until you find out from

390
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: your exposure to It's like, okay, you learned that you

391
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: have it. Do you have any sort of anxious sins?

392
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know? You said, it doesn't matter what happens

393
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: to you, you feel fine. But with anyone else on

394
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: the team, maybe tomorrow morning or Monday morning, when you

395
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: get those test results back, knowing you know another positive,

396
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: you know might have to push this game back even further.

397
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: If you get a chance to talk to the NFL

398
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: or the NFL PA. We would greatly appreciate you bringing

399
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: up that point and letting them know there's something we

400
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: talk about and we're dealing with it and we're moving forward.

401
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: It's obviously in the back of our minds, and I

402
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: think that's why we're just trying to do everything we can.

403
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: We're distanced. Even today while we were in we're totally distant.

404
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: We all have mask on, we all have the Oakley

405
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: shields on, or we have a mask underneath our helmet.

406
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: We weren't in the building really at all today, So

407
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: we're doing the necessary things to say as safe as possible.

408
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: So I guess that's the best answer I can give you.

409
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: But without a doubt, that's the thought the same way

410
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: you guys are sitting there thinking about it, like, hey,

411
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: they're getting on a plane on Monday. Well, those days

412
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: don't really add up from the incubation period. Was the

413
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: same question we're asking our union before we head out there.

414
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: But you guys saw we took off and we played

415
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: in the game and we came back. So as players

416
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: were trying to control what we can control, and at

417
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: the same time, especially with me and I know dev

418
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: and Slay as older guys, we're trying to continue to

419
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: push the envelope to hold everybody accountable and make sure

420
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: that they have our best interests in mine. I know,

421
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: just really quickly then here Bill, you talked about him

422
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: shutting down the facility, even if there might be some

423
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: faith lost, and those are my words, not yours, and

424
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: kind of the NFL during that timeline, do you gain

425
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: confidence from the fact that Bill has a little bit

426
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: more control over your situation and what specifically happens in

427
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: your building, and when given the opportunity to respect that

428
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: timeline he did this week by at least giving it

429
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: four days now before everyone came back together since steps

430
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: positive tests, no doubt about it. Like I said in

431
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: the beginning, the people in this building under this roof,

432
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: we're all in this thing together, we all trust one another,

433
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: we believe in one another, and we're going to continue

434
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: to move forward with constant communication and figure this thing out.

435
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, man, yea, thank you, thank you, Thank you.

436
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: Everyone
