1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: I know, going back to your you know, really one 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: of your foundation pieces of your philosophy with your staff, 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,319 Speaker 1: you know about players, don't tell me what they can't do, 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: tell me what they can do. I'm just curious the 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: evolution of that. How much of it is trial and error? 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: How far do you go before you kind of pull 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: a pin on a guy and say, you know what, 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: maybe you can't do what we're asking to do. Uh, 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: And I mean that across the board. I'm just curious 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: from your philosophy, how do you balance that challenge? Yeah, 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: I think there is a fun balance art between developing 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 1: somebody into a certain role and seeing how they fit 13 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: within a scheme, and then determining where we put them 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: in a position to play that doesn't fit them. I 15 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: think we're still early right now what we're doing. Obviously 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: the first game the other day, we're not ready to 17 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: pull anybody out of anything we're doing at this point. 18 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: That being said, it's about favorable matchups for these guys, 19 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: putting a position to be successful. We're always trying to 20 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: do give ourselves any kind of advantage we can. You know, 21 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: there's always something you identify with a certain guy. Let's 22 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: not ask him to do this, But I think we're 23 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: early in the system right now still are to turn 24 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: around and and just say about any one of our players, 25 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: let's eliminate his opportunity to do X y Z. Thanks Doug. Hey, Joe, Uh, 26 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, the Giants and the Bears played not too 27 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: long ago. But I'm curious how much do you gain 28 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: from you know, did you look back at that matchup? 29 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure he did. Just how useful is that for 30 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: for this game? I think the biggest thing that helps 31 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: you from watching last year's matchup is some of the 32 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: similar players we have on the roster and some of 33 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: the ways that they really looked to isolate and attack 34 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: guys who are still in the roster. Schematically, there's some differences, obviously. 35 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: You try to look a lot in terms of the 36 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: coordinators down in terms of the experience you've had against them, 37 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: whether it's going back to the Miami days with Laser, 38 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: whether it's going back to watching some of you know, 39 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: Pats experience in Green Bay against the Bears, or maybe 40 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: some of the old New England games. To look at 41 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: some of our defense is how they've attacked it, how 42 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: they've used it, and then offensively you know how they attacked, 43 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: you know, both our personnel and then and also maybe 44 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: when Jason was at Dallas. So you look at everything 45 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: you can to gather as much knowledge and then try 46 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: to form you know, how you think they're going to 47 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: attack you and have a plan that fits at Hey, sure, Tom, 48 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: Joe's probably been a little overlooked on the outside just 49 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: because it's usually such a common occurrence. But you you 50 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: got to take the team on the road this week 51 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: for the first time with the new protocols, with the 52 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: new systems. How how what are the challenges there? You 53 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: know what, i'nna be honest, I don't have a lot 54 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: of concerns about the actual logistics of our team traveling. 55 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: It's a little bit more just in terms of, you know, 56 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: fitting the schedule to make sure with the testing, the 57 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: boarding the bus is getting the plane. That that's really 58 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: kind of small things a factor in in terms of 59 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: the actual schedule, getting to the hotel, meeting, waking up, 60 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: playing the game. I love these early games, like waking 61 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: up on the road, just getting up and going to play, 62 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, getting out there and go and see the opponent. 63 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna be fine on that obviously 64 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: in preseason you gained a little bit of experience for 65 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: the players to go through. The one thing I think 66 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: does playing what we're doing is last week being a 67 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: Monday night game and being a night game force, we 68 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: had to stay in the hotel due to protocols the 69 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: entire down Monday. That actually simulated a little bit a 70 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: road trip feel for us because once we came here 71 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: from meetings, that kind of simulated the travel part of it. 72 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: We're in the hotel all night together doing meetings and 73 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: hanging out, and then the next day we're there together 74 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: to walk throughs. So you know, really the home game 75 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: last week kind of prepped us a little bit for 76 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: the way week because the new rules. I'm sure you're 77 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: you're in touch with a lot of coaches throughout the league. Um, 78 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: what what was some of their experiences on the road 79 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: when when you when you guys sort of compared notes, Uh, 80 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: is that when you found that it was it was 81 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: pretty much the same. You know what, I didn't I 82 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: didn't hear anything that was really too unusual for them. 83 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: A lot of it came more into just the logistics 84 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: on traveling on buses at the airport, making sure the 85 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: players are spaced out, uh, some of the airplane seating. 86 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: Some of the coaches mentioned, you know how they're you know, 87 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: spacing their players out a little bit differently than in 88 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: the past. We've discussed a lot of options. We're gonna 89 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: finalize that tonight as the staff in terms of things 90 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: we think we may have to do. Um. The actual 91 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: trip with the football part of it isn't what you're 92 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: kind of dealing with anything different. I think our guys 93 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: used to just traveling for football games, whether it be 94 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: college or you know, previous years in the NFL tom 95 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: right now, it's really the kind of early part of 96 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: the trip, bussing planes, how you get your food on 97 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: the plane, little things like that that people always calculate that, 98 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: you know, we feed these guys on the plane. Role 99 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: is hydrated on the plane. One of the factors I'm 100 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: gonna to talk to him about is, hey, listen, we're 101 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: obviously wearing masks on the plane. Anytime you have a 102 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: mask on, the slows out in your hydration. Also, when 103 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: you're in the plane, you know, you naturally dehydrate from 104 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: the air pressure on the way it affects the cells 105 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: and the moisture in your cells. So we've got to 106 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: make sure we do a really good job traveling with 107 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: hydrating on the plane, even though we have masks on, 108 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: so we've got to be conscious of that. Thanks. Sure, Yeah, 109 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: we've got time for two quick once Jordan is at Jordan's. Hey, Joe, 110 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: I was just wondering we saw Logan ryan decent amount 111 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: on Monday night. I mean now that he's got another 112 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: week to sort of digest to play, but how much 113 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: more can can we see him? And do you expect 114 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: to sort of expand his role now moving forward? Yeah, 115 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: we're not gonna limit Logan anything we're doing. You know, 116 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: as Pat puts the packages together and we see the matchups, 117 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, whatever we can do to get all of 118 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: our players involved, we're going to do um. But I 119 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: don't think there's anything that we would hold off on 120 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: using Logan. Ford just want to make sure that whatever 121 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: package are putting together, we spaced out to use all 122 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: of our players and put ourselves in favorable matchups. Appreciate 123 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 1: last one here is asking and Joe. You guys obviously 124 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: had a tough group to block last week in terms 125 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: of pass rushers, and this week you have Kalil mac 126 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: obviously that you have to deal with them. Here's like, 127 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: how company are in your guy's ability to get after 128 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: a guy like that, and what kind of challenges in 129 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: particular does he present. We'll tell you what I'm confident 130 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: every player we have on our roster, number one, number two. 131 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: Every week we play. You look at our roster, we're 132 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: gonna have elite pass rushers and elite front you know, 133 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: defensive tackles on every team we play. So that's just 134 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: the nature of you know, our schedule, nature of the NFL. However, 135 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: specific to Khalil Mack and Quinn on the other edge 136 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: as well, these are two of the top guys in 137 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: the game. They're both explosive, they're dynamic, to put up 138 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: high motors. They do a good job making hustle plays. 139 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: They put pressure on the quarterbacks with us through strip sacks, 140 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, flushing out of the pocket or whatever it 141 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: may be. There are guys you've got to come in. 142 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: You can't blink, you can't fall asleep. You know, they've 143 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: got high motors are coming on every place. So if 144 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: you let that in your guard for one second, that's 145 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a bad play for your offense. So obviously, 146 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: we have a tremendous challenge in front of us. We 147 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: will every week, but this week, specific to the Bears 148 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: and their edge pressure. You know, we've got to really 149 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 1: rise of the challenge.
