00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: Anyone else on the COVID list, no one else report,

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: but Cedric may have. Wilson may have a chance to

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: come back today. So we're still waiting on his results.

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: So this is part of the new protocol right where

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: he only needs to have the one negative piss to

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: come back. I don't know if we're quite there yet,

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: but you know, based on based on conversation with Jim

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: this morning, he has a chance. So when you say

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: come back today with that meaning in time to take

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: part in practice practice today, Yes, want to practice. Was

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: that precautionary or did something that precautionary? Yeah, I just

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: wanted to take a look at you know, he felt

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: something in the practice. So we'll just you know, just

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: being being smart with him. Is this given its history

16
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: and he's been here for a while and the guys

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: know him, is he going to kind of be managed

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: in practice the rist of the way, probably just coming

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: off that injury, or so I need this. It'll be

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see how it does today. I mean,

21
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: today's not a big workload. Tomorrow will be you know,

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: a better test. So I'll just we'll just see what

23
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: today brings and and then we'll evaluate tomorrow for for

24
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: the launch practice. College feel after yesterday's session it felt good,

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, you know, all the reps that he had

26
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: um assigned to him, he did those, so, um, I

27
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: really haven't you know, they're not here yet. You know

28
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: they won't they won't get they won't get here till

29
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock because we're still in the virtual meetings this morning.

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: So you know, so once he gets here and we'll

31
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: get them going and he'll go out and do the

32
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: pre practice with Britain. You know, we'll see where he is.

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: Are you still just in a mix of the virtual

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: and and and on site and will that continue for

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: the remainder of the season or are you just looking

36
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: at it weekly going in? It's moving, it's moving target.

37
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: I know we're I know we're in the virtual mode

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: too through the weekend. So we'll go virtual today, tomorrow

39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: and Monday, and then you know that once the league decide,

40
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: uh you know, Monday, what the what the plan is, Well,

41
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: we'll act accordingly that, I mean, that's our plan. So

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: coaches and players love to say control where you can control,

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: and obviously you've got a lot of experience with this,

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: but just how do you compartmentalize the mental aspect of

45
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: the COVID situation just not knowing what might be coming

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: your way on any given day. I think, frankly, you know,

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: last year's experience is extremely helpful. You know, I think

48
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 1: number one, to operate in a virtual capacity. Uh. Last

49
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: year it was a good experience, and frankly, we felt

50
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: that we didn't do that, you know, do a good

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: enough job. So I think having the offseason to really

52
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, build the templates and and go through the

53
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: off season program in a in a virtual capacity as

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: has been very helpful. So we've had to turn it

55
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: on what three times this year. So just a fact

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: that when we got the news last night, after the meetings,

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: we you know, had probably a handful of meetings and

58
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: just you know, tighten it up and because obviously, you know,

59
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: when you get the email and all the protocol items

60
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: come you know, come together, you guys, and you know,

61
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: make sure you're in a line with that and so

62
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: and the meetings were good this morning. You know, it's um,

63
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, we just kind of turned it and you

64
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: just kind of turned it back on, and you know,

65
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: we did all our meetings virtual, and I think having

66
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: the experience of doing it the Saints week was it

67
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: was definitely helpful. So we're we're much better prepared to

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: do to virtual clearly, and I thought it was very smooth.

69
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: Where time did you get the email for the protocol change?

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: No one you would have to implement it doing um.

71
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: I can't tell exactly when it came out, you know,

72
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: I didn't get involved probably until after the after the

73
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: player meetings, you know, and then well, frankly, I was

74
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: in the GPS meeting when so probably four thirty five

75
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: o'clock in winter. So then Giants had several players to

76
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: their couping list this week, which I'm sure for their

77
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: coaching staff puts things in blocks. Maybe they're trying to

78
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: manage some changes. How does that affect a Cowboys coaching

79
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: staff and trying to anticipate, um, which Giants players would

80
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: be avaluable or cham just sitting here. I mean we, frankly,

81
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: we operate a lot of like you do. I mean

82
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: we're looking for the information, you know, waiting for the updates.

83
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: You know, there's you know, looking at the looking at

84
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: the wire when that comes out, you know, looking for

85
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: anything you know, we have our personal department does a

86
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: good job. They're looking at the internet, you know, so

87
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: we're you know, kind on you know, you guys to

88
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: get us some information out there. We appreciate it, but no,

89
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: it's we're really doing the same thing you're doing. So

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: we'll meet today after you know, when the players have

91
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: done it, and we'll go through our projected forty eight,

92
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, coming off of you know, Wednesday's projected forty eight,

93
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: and I mean then obviously then we'll just keep watching

94
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: how we think it's going to match up for them.

95
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: It's like New Orleans as well. We're once you're on

96
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: the once you're at the team hotel, it's kind of

97
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: here there. Yeah, full protocol, can't leave, we can't know

98
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: visitors so um and we may not even have a

99
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: team meeting at the at the hotel just because you know,

100
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: we're at the we're communicating with our advance um people

101
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: just to see if it fits the protocol. So you know,

102
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: we kind of have two plans for tomorrow. You try

103
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: to leave later than you normally with just because of that,

104
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: or well, going east it's frankly day enough. And the

105
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: ironing of it is we actually moved the flight up

106
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: to leave early because I didn't like how late we

107
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: got to the hotel in Washington. So so as soon

108
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: as we got the confirmation that we can leave early,

109
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: then an hour later the email camp. So yeah, I'm

110
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: sure American Airlines is excited the deal with us right now.

111
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: So we're back to leaving later. So my hes Donald

112
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: Wilson done this week? Good? Yeah, No, he's uh. I

113
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: thought he had a good, good day yesterday, so you

114
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: know today he'll he'll go through. But so if we

115
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: increase his reps, you know, we'll see how today goes.

116
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: But I thought he had a good day. I say,

117
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: I think it look good. I got to the winning

118
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: gets to wash it day. You said the defense is

119
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: kind of have been building course where they were with

120
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: the guys coming back? How much how much have you

121
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: been surprised by how intebal micaels? Did you knew he

122
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: was talent, but did you figure he would be just

123
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: think of a comment of the defense, I mean definitely

124
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: knew he'd be one of the focal points. I mean

125
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: you can see that right away, and I think that

126
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: you know that's clearly illustrated, and how dan you know

127
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: and the staff of moving them around. So I think

128
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: anytime you have a player played multiple positions, I think it,

129
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, clearly identifies what we what we think of him.

130
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: So um, but yeah, he's been he's been very impactful.

131
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: And I think just the fact of the matter is,

132
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, his pass rush I think surprised maybe some

133
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: people early, but you know, he has a great motor

134
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: to go with all the skill and you know, and

135
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: I think the fact that you you're playing him, you know,

136
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: on the ball and off the ball, and keep creating

137
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: targeting challenges for the defense not only helps him, but

138
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: it definitely helps helps the others. You know, it creates

139
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: more one on ones for the guys in the front.

140
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: We're still double these away from the game, but a

141
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: little by whether breast should be some steady wins you've

142
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: got hired? What do you have? I'm just curious. I

143
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: look at it this morning. What what what? What? What

144
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: numbers do you have for the wind? The guests for

145
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: knocked us the city wind and they all have the

146
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: guts is the early so it's gone up? Then? Yeah,

147
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: how did that emboyance being what we need particular of

148
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: all the elements that can come game. I think the

149
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: winds a number one. That's that's all that That's the

150
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: first element that I think affects your decision making. So

151
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you have you rain, you have snow,

152
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: your wind and wind and rain. So ever how you

153
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: rank those I have, I have an order and you know,

154
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: and then there's there's things you may consider doing, you know,

155
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: and you know obviously that stadium too. I mean it's

156
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: not the old stadium, but you know that you know,

157
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: the way to win moves up there. And frankly that's

158
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: what pre games for, you know. I mean we have

159
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, veteran kicker and punter. They have really good feedback,

160
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: and John and I will meet at some point and

161
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: then we'll make a decision because I think when the

162
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: wind gets above fifteen, you have to you have to

163
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: start to to look at that and it'll factor in

164
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: some of your fie field position decisions. With the last

165
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: sadias that to deal with, when was that Kansas City

166
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: or usually had to really been much, you know, I

167
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: thought the Kansas City going in, I think it was

168
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: more concerned about it. But I think it must have

169
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: got out there, wasn't it. It didn't move as much

170
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: as we thought it was going to move going into it.

171
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: So you know, you had to win last week coming

172
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: out of the West, but then you know it was

173
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: actually it was a you know, it's it's a swirling win.

174
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: So but the win was really going east. So, I mean,

175
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: every stadium is different. You know, you have a history

176
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: on it, but you know, really you have to That's

177
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: that's what pre games for. And you know, and personally,

178
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: you know, I'll get to ruling, go out there and

179
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: walk and just just look at it. Then John will

180
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: assess it during the pre pre game and then you

181
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: know we'll make our decisions, you know, before before we

182
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: kick off. It was an extreme win in Buffalo. It

183
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: really took over their games playing in the playbolle Is

184
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: that rare or even in the Temple way that we're

185
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: talking about ling teams play, not just team win. Yeah,

186
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: I think when's the biggest influence of weather on your

187
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: game plan? Eight? Number one? Absolutely good. Thank you,
