And obviously Mask 32 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: can do everything he can bet on the field as 33 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: soon as possible, whatever that is, We'll make sure he's 34 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: ready to go. Thank you, Thank you launched. Hey Joey Paul, Um, 35 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: I know you don't shy away from talking to your 36 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: team about expectations. UM on day number one today, UM, 37 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: what kind of message about expectations do you give them? 38 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: And UM, you know how forceful are you with those expectations? Uh? 39 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: In terms of forceful, I mean, look, we have our 40 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: standards in this organization that we're not going to compromise 41 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: for anybody. Look, it's training camp. Our expectations to get 42 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: this team operating to develop good fundamentals, develop chemistry within 43 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: the units, and start getting some execution on all three 44 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: phases the ball going forward. You know, it's this training 45 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: camps about getting our players in football shape, starting to 46 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: have an identity as a teams we build going forward 47 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: and you know, building this season and get ourselves ready 48 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: to go ahead and play. Hey, with Clarious Toney being 49 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: in the COVID protocol, do you guys have an estimate 50 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: of best guest estimate on when he might get back 51 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: on the field, and uh, if he does miss time early, 52 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: how the detrimental was that being a rookie and kind 53 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: of being hit him as during the spring to him 54 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: being ready for the year. Well, he's with us today 55 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: in the building, so he's back with us. We have 56 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: a number of guys, uh, for different reasons that we're 57 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: actually gonna take him a little bit slower obviously coming 58 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: off of that protocol as we learned last year with 59 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: the number of players on our team throughout the season, 60 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna go ahead and move him around the field 61 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: and make sure that when he's ready to go, then 62 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: we'll start integrating with our team. But we're not gonna 63 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: go ahead and rush anything to get in the process. 64 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: Will being all the meetings, all of our players. He'll 65 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: be able to go out there and operate in some 66 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: of the you know, some of the meetings we get 67 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more on our feet, But in terms 68 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: of practice itself, we're not gonna do anything with him 69 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: on the field with the team until we know he's 70 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: fully ready to go, and his timetable will be different. 71 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure than a lot of the guys last year 72 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: that we learned from. One thing we really took away 73 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: from last year was these things are all very specific 74 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: to each person, and you know what their individual symptoms 75 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: were or what their exposure was, you know, but that 76 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: time away from training is what's critical. Thanks, right, Sue. 77 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: I know culture is very important to you. Um, do 78 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: you started at sort of square one with this training 79 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: camp or or is there a building from what happened 80 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: last year? Well, I think every year is his own year. 81 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: But we started back in the spring in terms of 82 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: our expectation of standards of the organization. We start a 83 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: team building back in the spring, even when we were 84 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: just on zoom before the players all got in here 85 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: during that phase one period, and it's something that we 86 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: build on and carry over all the time. So look, 87 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: it's there's some things we laid down as far as 88 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, groundwork in year one, but not all these 89 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: players were here last year. So it's important that we 90 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: go ahead and we start at ground zero, you know, 91 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: for these players to understand everything we expect them to do. 92 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: And um, in terms of the vaccination rate of the team, 93 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: can you give us some insight into what the numbers 94 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: are on the staff and with the players, Well, every 95 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: staff and coach is fully vaccinated. That I that I 96 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: can tell you, uh, in terms of the team itself 97 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: and the number, right, I'm not going to get into rates. 98 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: I would say that since the end of spring, we've 99 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: had a number of players who have either started or 100 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: finalized the vaccination process, and we've had a number of 101 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: meetings with our players that they understand that if they're 102 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: not vaccinated, the protocols that are tied into that and 103 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: that they have to live up to. I got a 104 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: two part question on Sam Deal from a football perspective. Obviously, 105 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: he's only played six games in three years and he 106 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: opted out, so he doesn't have the I don't know, 107 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: the resume to fall back on, like an eate soldier. 108 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: So where is he and you football wise? And then 109 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: also since we last talked to you, he had a 110 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: he pled guilty to a gun charge. How does that 111 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: how does keeping him around fit kind of with the 112 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: rules you have for this team. I'm not going to 113 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: comment at this point on any uh, you know, ongoing 114 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: investigations or anything that's going on with the league at 115 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: this point right now. Uh, in terms of him as 116 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: a football player. Look, everyone right now is building their 117 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: fundamental throughout training camp. So we're in a start, you know, 118 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: on the field today with our conditioning test, and then 119 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: tomorrow we'll pick up with football and again we'll build 120 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: everyone from the ground up, all right, whether they played 121 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: every game last year or haven't played a game in 122 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: the NFL yet. At Leonard, Hey, Joe, you said there 123 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: were a couple of guys in this situation that Tony's in. Um, 124 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: who are you referring to there? Uh, we had a 125 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: couple of guys who had had, you know, some exposure 126 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: to it and had to quarantine throughout this point. Some 127 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: guys that has some issues over the summer. I'm not 128 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: gonna go on specifics, you know, unless they're on the 129 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: list right there, Patum. But you know, there's a couple 130 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: of guys that have come off that we're gonna go 131 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: ahead and make sure that we're doing the right thing 132 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: by them in terms of the adjustments to training that 133 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: had to make the last few weeks. Thank you learn. Hey, Joe, 134 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: you talked earlier about, you know, making sure you guys 135 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: get into football shape. And we saw your your program 136 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: last year. You're you're a lot heavier my estimation on 137 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: conditioning maybe that than some other coaches. Chef had said 138 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: that recently. What's what's your theory behind that? What's what 139 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: you're what you're thinking behind uh, concentrating on that behind 140 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: the conditioning, Yeah, the conditioning part. Yeah, We're getting our 141 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: players bodies to stay healthy. And one thing we do 142 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: is a lot of research and self scout. We went 143 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: back after last year, Jordan and we you know, showed 144 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: it to the players themselves, and they came back in spring. 145 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: Will explain why we practice the way we do, and 146 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: it was reflected in a decrease in injuries across the 147 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: board within this organization as well as relative to the league. 148 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: We were one of the healthiest teams last year in 149 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: the league and healthiest team has been a long time. 150 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: So look, you can't put a player on the field 151 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: and tell them to play a dent for sixty minutes 152 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: if you haven't trained them that way. And to me, 153 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: there's a difference in practicing and training. And we talked 154 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: to our players all time. You know, we say we're 155 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: going for practice, but we're really going out to train. 156 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: We're trying to get their bodies ready to go ahead 157 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: and perform how they have to in a game. And 158 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: the most dangerous thing you can do for a player 159 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: is skimp on how your practice. Whether that's conditioning to 160 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: get their bodies in the right position and build up 161 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: that callous within their muscles so they don't have soft 162 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: tissue injuries on the field. Well, that's practicing things like 163 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: live hitting and live tackling, and make sure when they 164 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: go out there and the pace of the game is 165 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: actually faster, that they're not in a position to be 166 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: prepared to do it safely and effectively. So anything they're 167 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to do in a game, we're gonna make 168 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: sure that we practice, correct, repeat and practice again. I 169 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't say pushback, do you maybe do you get a 170 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: lot of you know, guys complaining about it, about the 171 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: fact that you do more conditioning or did they you 172 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: have they're all right with it in your mind. No, 173 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: I think the guys see on the field, how they 174 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: play and as they prove throughout the year, tell us 175 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: it's about, you know, keeping yourself on the field and healthy. 176 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: And I think that's the best example you can give 177 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: to a player of you know, were you able to 178 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: go out there and play last year, or where you're 179 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: limited through something that maybe you weren't in shape to do. 180 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: You know, we have, you know, very open relationship with 181 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: our players here. We tell them the wine. Everything we do, 182 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: we explain why we're doing what we're doing in terms 183 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: of conditioning itself. Look, I was a player. I got 184 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: a fifteen year old son. The first thing he wants 185 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: to talk about every day I pick them up from 186 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: practice the DIY for conditioning. I have to explain him. 187 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: I really don't care what you do for football. You know, 188 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: conditioning is part of football. All right. We're not gonna 189 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: go ahead and say, hey, listen, don't worry about the 190 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: quarterbacks footwork through individual period. Just go out there and 191 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: coach through team and get all his footwork fundamentals. No, 192 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: it's a fun amount. We're gonna work on that extra 193 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: so it carries over into team periods. Conditioning is part 194 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: of a fundamental. We're gonna work on it so that 195 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: carries over into team periods and can help keep our 196 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: players healthy on the field. Last one here are Hey, Joe, 197 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: I haven't seen your your training camp practices last year. 198 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: You know a lot of us, you know there was 199 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: a method to the madness everything, full speed, two fields. Uh, 200 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: My question really is about how do you deploy your 201 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: your coaches if they overlap at a specific position. And 202 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: I'm mostly thinking of the offensive line. By my account, 203 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: you have at least at least four guys who may 204 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: have some handle and what you're doing up front, plus you, 205 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: Um so, how do you do you on a day 206 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: to day basis? Do you kind of assign things to 207 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: your assistant coaches at that position or is it just 208 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: kind of a organic thing that that these guys come to, 209 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, work together and realize, Okay, this is the 210 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: priority today and that's just how we're gonna divvy it 211 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: up a little bit. Unless there's something specific that I 212 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: see that I want a certain coach with a certain 213 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: player or a certain group for that day. I let 214 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: the coordinators handle how they're gonna split the staff, and 215 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: we just make sure that we have eyes on all 216 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: positions that were covered fully. We're never gonna want to 217 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: have a drill art where let's just say, for example, 218 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: a group of tight ends don't have somebody else there 219 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: who can correct their mistakes. We're getting any information to 220 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: go out there and practice, you know, within the period. 221 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: So I let the coordinators handle, you know, how they're 222 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: going to divide the staff um. But if I see 223 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: something specific, I may go ahead and say, hey, once 224 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: you stay with so and so today and make sure 225 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: he gets this
