1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: We've heard you talk so many times about why you're

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: doing the offensive line rotations because you want everybody to play,

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: but are Why is it working? Joe? Every offensive lineman

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: i've ever talked to tells me the key to offensive

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: line is continuity, the same five guys, etcetera, etcetera. Why

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: is playing six guys and soon to be seven guys

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: with the three guards? Why isn't it working? You know,

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: we've talked about that a lot internally, be honest with

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: you know. Part of the reasons we think, maybe, hey, look,

10
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: maybe it gives our guys a little bit a breather,

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: keeps a little bit fresher. You know, they've got fresher

12
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: legs out there working with some temple on offense. Guys

13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: with a series off here, they're kind of gets their

14
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: breath a little bit. You know, all three guys are playing,

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: they're playing well right now for us, are all improving,

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: So it gives us a lot of confidence keep moving

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: those guys on through. You know. Part of it, maybe

18
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: it changed a little bit what the defense can do

19
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: to attack you. They can't signal up on just what

20
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: one guy does and what they're trying to look. Maybe

21
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: it alters how they approach each drive not knowing who's

22
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: going in. We've kind of talked internally Ryan and bounce

23
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: a few things off. The one thing we've concluded is,

24
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, whatever the you know reasons on the other side,

25
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: maybe we like how it's working for us. We're going

26
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: to keep on going with it. And how hard is

27
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: what Matt pet is doing. He might be playing the

28
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: least of the snaps between Cam and Andrew, but he's

29
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: the one who asked to change his footwork from series

30
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: to series, left to right. How hard is what he's doing. Yeah,

31
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: that's very impressive, especially for a young guy like Matt,

32
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: and he's really showing a lot of progress in doing that.

33
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: And that's definitely something that's better preparing him for the

34
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: remainder of his career. And I think he's shown a

35
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: lot of you know, promise right now that should be

36
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: a very productive career. We love Matt the way he works,

37
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: and for him there will be a swing guy as

38
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: a rookie in this league, because, as you allude to,

39
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: it's not just the footwork you're changing, it's also the

40
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: matchups based on who the defense plays on either side,

41
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: and also changes some of the responsibilities based on place.

42
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: So you know, he's done a really good job stars

43
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: knowing the offense, but he's done a really good job

44
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: fundamentally of working both sides techniques and haven't really seen

45
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: a difference to need to side with him. I know

46
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: you've been pretty adamant about every Monday after a game,

47
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: win or lose, you're going to do corrections and approach

48
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: it with a team the same way. But after a win,

49
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: is there any difference that you sense from the way

50
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: the players act, um, the way they take to coaching

51
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: the you know, as far as more confidence, um, a

52
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: sense of quote unquote swag or something you notice that

53
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: maybe you can help you moving forward. You know, I

54
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: think one of the things that is most pleasing about

55
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: our guys today, to be honest with you, Paul, is

56
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: they're very constant, they're very steady, and they came in

57
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: today with that same attito we've seen for the previous weeks.

58
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: You know, there's a little more joke around and laugh

59
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: and at different times, but really ultimately they came in

60
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: the room and they're very easy to coach. They're very receptive,

61
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 1: they're looking for a better way of doing things. You know, look,

62
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: we told him right at the beginning of the meeting. Hey, listen,

63
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: we had success yesterday. Let's not mistake that for thinking

64
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: everything's perfect. There's plenty that we have to watch on

65
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: this tapent we have to correct philaeph he's watching the

66
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: same tape we are today, and they're looking to expose

67
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: everything we put out there that may not have been magnified.

68
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: And yesterday's game, they're gonna look to go ahead and

69
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: expose it, you know, in next Sunday's matchup. So we

70
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: do a good job of knowing what we have to

71
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: continue to improve on and clean up, and then also

72
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: what we can build on in a positive manner. Our

73
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: guys have been great. So one of the things I

74
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: was saying is very pleasing is I didn't see a

75
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: group of guys coming in today like we have everything

76
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: figured out. So a group of guys coming here today,

77
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: ready to learn, ready to work and move forward. Does

78
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: a little more joking and um, you know, fooling around

79
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: and smiling. Does that include the head coach? Uh? Like,

80
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm always kind of myself, I mean, win or loss,

81
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kind of bust your chops a little bit,

82
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, either way, and to throw something at you.

83
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: But you know it's I mean, look, I'm I'm kind

84
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: of the same guy all the time, be honest with

85
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: it's you know, win or loss. Um. In fact, Paul,

86
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: a lot of ways after a win, it can be

87
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: tougher to coach, you know, in a lot of ways,

88
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: and our guys have been very good in that that

89
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, they've been receptive. Sometimes you walk in after

90
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: a win, you have to tell a team, this is

91
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: the toughest it's going to be the coach all year

92
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: because you think you have all the answers. You know,

93
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: after a loss, people can be more receptive at times,

94
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: and you have to understand and know who your team

95
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: is and how you have to approach them. So in

96
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: terms of you know, me laughing or joking that maybe, um,

97
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, look, if I think the team needs, you know,

98
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: kind of lighten the mood a little bit, I may

99
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: throw something in there. If it's sometimes it's gonna be

100
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: a little more serious tone, then I'll approach it that

101
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: way right there. But you know, I think the guys

102
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: know to expect from me on a daily basis that hey,

103
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: whin to lose, you know, practice or game. I'm kind

104
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: of approaching everything with the same mentality and personality. Thanks Joey.

105
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: Hey Joe, where do things stand with Golden Tate this week? Yeah,

106
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: he was back in there with us today working. Um,

107
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: you know, we're not gonna the players in the building tomorrow,

108
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: but they'll be able to come in and work out,

109
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: and then Wednesday we're going to feel for practice. So

110
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: definitely out there practice with us. Um, like all of

111
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: our players, you know, we're gonna have plans to these

112
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: guys within the game plan. If you're asking specifically about

113
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: him being active for the game, I would anticipate Golden

114
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: being active. I have no reason to believe he wouldn't

115
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: be active at this point. Um, we're gonna go through

116
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: this week and kind of see everything goes with everybody

117
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: on the team and se whe everything lays out. And

118
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: then I was reading that you know your captains were

119
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, on board with the decision to to leave

120
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: him home. I think it was Preyer wrote that, Um,

121
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: do you can sell your captains when you make a

122
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: decision like that. I try to let the captains know

123
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: what's going on with any major decisions we have within

124
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: the program. Thanks respect, Joe, What do you think of

125
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: your defense and the improvement it is made. Well. I

126
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: love those guys are doing with the energy they play,

127
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: with the urgency. There's definitely things we have to clean

128
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: up on and continue to improve on um. But every

129
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: week there's things that we emphasize that I see turn

130
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: around a positive way. You know, something that's been a

131
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: major focus for us as two minute and we've been

132
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: working very hard on the two minute drives in practice,

133
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: something we had to really continue to improve on. But

134
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, like I told the team today, I said,

135
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, we closed out to two minute drives. You

136
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: can kind of include that maybe as a third two

137
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: minute drive as well at the end all with interceptions,

138
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, kind of two end of game situations, one

139
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: and a half situation. That was definitely a step in

140
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: the right direction for our team. But we compete, we play,

141
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: We go good verse good on two minute and practice

142
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: so offensively in defense, we're getting good competition, you know,

143
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: as far as work in the situation, not worrying so

144
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: much about the looks from the other team. And then

145
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: we do some kind of you know, crawls over against

146
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: the opponent two minute drills later in the week. But

147
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things. I've seen the defense improve on.

148
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: You know, there's no reason we can't continue to play

149
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: at a high level. I love the way the improvement

150
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: we're seeing the young guys really coming along, Bruce Um.

151
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of encouraging things we're seeing from the

152
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: guys that are rookies or new guys in this program. Uh.

153
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: And we get a lot of production from a lot

154
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: of guys. Hey, Joe, real quick on Golden One more

155
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: thing like, can you explain the decision of why you

156
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: decided to let leap him behind and not actress him

157
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: for that game. No, I'm not gonna go into that, Jordan.

158
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate the question. I respect question, Okay, And with

159
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: Daniel Um, he obviously didn't have a turnover in the game.

160
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm just curious of you how he as coaches look

161
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: at it because the ball did hit the ground twice

162
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: during that game, So how do you sort of balance

163
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: that and look at it. Yeah, we're always, you know,

164
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: emphasize what we've done well and correct what we did

165
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: wrong in every game. So that's every player, it's every coach,

166
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: that's everyone within different techniques. So we're always empsizing ball security,

167
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: across the board. We're always empasize and playing clean penalties wise,

168
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: we have some things in that neighborhood we have to

169
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: get off the map as well this next week, and

170
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: we're always empsized of playing a clean game in terms of,

171
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, eliminating mental errors. But I understand what we're

172
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: doing on the field, not making mistakes. I was actually

173
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: gonna ask about Daniel to Joe. Um. You know, obviously

174
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: you limited the turnovers in this game. Does the pendulum

175
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: need to swing back a little bit more to to

176
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: to be aggressive and to to give more to the offense.

177
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: You know, you scored three points in the second half. Yeah,

178
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't think anything, and that had to do with

179
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: lack of aggressiveness at all. In fact, we actually were

180
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: moving the ball very well in the second half. You

181
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,559
Speaker 1: go back afterwards, you watch the tape. Okay, what happened

182
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: that we you know, weren't scoring points? And really those

183
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: are self inflicted wounds that we have to make sure

184
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: we get off it. You know, we had some penalties, Uh,

185
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: and if things happen offensively, some negative plays, but we

186
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: don't go ahead shoot ourselves in the foot. We're moving

187
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: the ball very productively I think the difference in the

188
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: first half of the second half was, you know, we

189
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: didn't have any self inflicted wounds in the first half

190
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: and we're able to finish drives aggressively. Um, but I

191
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: like the way the offense is playing. I think there's

192
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: a lot of aggressiveness within how we're calling plays right now.

193
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of aggressiveness in terms of how we're

194
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: playing and executed on the field, starting up front with

195
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: the run blocking and the past protection from the offensive line,

196
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: and I see carry over and everything. When Daniel has

197
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: a nice clean pocket has been very productive. He's been

198
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: able to make plays, you know, in scrambled situations as well.

199
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: But the offensive line really set the set the table

200
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: for us this week to play a good, clean game

201
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: and complimentary with a run in the past game. If

202
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: Daniel plays, it's the same game he played on Sunday.

203
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: Obviously every game is different, but if he plays that

204
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: that same type of game on Sunday, is that the

205
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: style that you want to to move forward? I think

206
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of clips in these last few games

207
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: time that you can see that we can say this

208
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: is the style we want to play as an offense.

209
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: Defense and special teams moving forward. That doesn't mean the

210
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: game plans exactly the same, but want to keep making

211
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: sure we have an emphasis in terms of, you know,

212
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: ball security number one, limiting penalties and knocking mental errors

213
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: off the plates. But I like the way we're playing

214
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: aggresively on offense, like the tempo we're playing with. That's

215
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: not always gonna be part of the game plans sometimes

216
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: may slow it down. But I like the last few

217
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: games our ability to work some tempo. I like how

218
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: we're running the ball and that's really setting up some

219
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: plays down the field in the passing game. I like

220
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: how we're covering kicks right now, we play make plays

221
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: in the return game as well. That's the jump last

222
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: few weeks. We're definitely improving that area and d Offensively,

223
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: it's a lot of improvement with the situations, whether it

224
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: be third down, red area or two minutes, that's improved.

225
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: That's something we've placed his empsis with our team. We

226
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: have to continue to improve on um. We've seen a

227
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: lot of really good players and good offenses in the

228
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: first part of the season, but we've got to keep

229
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: on improvements to keep on going through because they're gonna

230
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: keep getting better and better. It seems when you talk

231
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: to us. There are times when we'll talk to a

232
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: player later on and he will say the same thing

233
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: that you said to us. Is it important to you

234
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: that the team speak with one voice and that be yours?

235
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: You know? I think it's just important that I explained

236
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: to the players what I expect, and I explained them

237
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: very clearly when something's going on, how I'm going to

238
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: handle it and why I'm handling a certain way. To me,

239
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: it's important to have transparency with the team. I think

240
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: at that point they can better understand, you know, how

241
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: we're attacking a situation, how we're approaching this season through

242
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: whatever is going on with it. Um. Look, we don't

243
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: try to make our players robots. We're gonna try to

244
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: dictate anything they say. But to me, it is important

245
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: that everyone understands and plays on one accord, that we're

246
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: on the same page, and that's very important. I think

247
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: we've seen that with our players and you. You guys

248
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: have asked a lot of questions throughout the year in

249
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, coming off of a loss or

250
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: continuous losses, how do we deal with it? I think

251
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: you deal with it by just by being very transparent

252
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: as an organization and of our understanding where we are

253
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: and where we're going and how we have to get there,

254
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: and that carries over into kind of talking to the

255
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: media as well. The final question you after the first

256
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: play of the game for Washington to you bringing back

257
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: the mud sliding sliding drill, You bet, we we gotta

258
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: be we gotta be cleaner on the UH the phone

259
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: were recovering and that I'm glad we were able to

260
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: come up with that. There's a lot of rules emphasize

261
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: and that a lot of things we can teach off

262
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: of with the sideline fumble UH technique and the rules

263
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: involved with it in terms of if you go out

264
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: of bounds, you know, if you're an offensive player, you

265
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: want to reach and touch that ball to make sure

266
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: the balls the continuation of being out of bounds and

267
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: then the opportunity for the defense recovered. For defensive player,

268
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: you want to tap it back in before you go

269
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: out of bounds or if you go out of bounds,

270
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: getting both feedback established to give yourself an opportunity to

271
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: recover that thing cleanly. You know, when Peppers comes out

272
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: of the pile with the bar out there the importance

273
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: of not running off and celebrating, but hurning and you know,

274
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: showing the ball to the official so they don't erroneously

275
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: signal the ball to the other team thinking it was

276
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: a clear recovery and then you can't challenge that play

277
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: and the other team gets it either you're holding the ball.

278
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of teaching things that come out

279
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: of that come out of that situation. We definitely want

280
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: to be out there looking like the Keystone Cops trying

281
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: to get that ball right there. So we got to

282
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: clean that up. Last one here, Pat Leonard, a few

283
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: housekeeping things up. Do you have to sign out for

284
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: MARS to your active roster since you've called them up

285
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: twice to activate them, Yes, so the next move would

286
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: be to sign them. I mean, obviously we'll approach a

287
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: lot of different things this week, Pat, in terms of

288
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: our roster with a lot different players over these next

289
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: few weeks, we expect, you know, several guys to have

290
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity. We don't know where they are physically yet,

291
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: but you know, do we start their clocks off the

292
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: I R, will they be coming off the clocks in

293
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: the I R. So we have to check and see

294
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: where our total roster is in terms of that. So

295
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things with that that it comes

296
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: to going a factor. Yeah, two guys on one day

297
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: ask about injury wise, Xavier McKinney, is he gonna start

298
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: practicing with you guys this week? Uh, that's still up

299
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: in the air. I don't know that necessarily see him

300
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: this week. Pat, he was on the field the other

301
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: day running with the trainers. Um, I haven't had much

302
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: a chance with my own eyes to really get my

303
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: eyes on him. I know he's making a lot of progress. Um,

304
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm getting positive reports on them. You know, we have

305
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: until Wednesday. He'll be with the trainers tomorrow. That may

306
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: shed a little bit more light on it for us.

307
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: And you know, based on how we practice Wednesday, if

308
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: we go full tilt or some kind of an abbreviate

309
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: to walk through or short and fundamentals practice, we haven't

310
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: decided yet, that may affect whether or not we start

311
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: his clock on that day or not. And then the

312
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: other guys were Will Hernandez is he coming off the list?

313
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: And uh O'Shane and take Crowder. I think I'm not.

314
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm missing anybody there. So with

315
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: O'Shane and Take, they're very similar right there to X

316
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: Man that we got to you know, figure out, you know,

317
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: where they're at physically when we want to start their clock.

318
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: You know, all of them made a lot of progress. Um,

319
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: some are a little closer than others. I want to

320
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: see where they're at. The biggest thing I'd say at

321
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: this point is, you know, because you have the BYO

322
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: wee come up next week, we want to be very

323
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: calculated when we start their clock. You get that twenty

324
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: one day window. If you started too early and then

325
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: you lose another week with the bye week anyway, that

326
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: may set them back. So there's a benefit of getting

327
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm going with us right away and getting their legs

328
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: back on him getting back into playing football. And then

329
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: there's also a benefit of holding a little bit knowing

330
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: you had the bye week next week, and there's really

331
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: no advantage of getting them to a game next week anyway.

332
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of different avenues we could take

333
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: with these guys. I want to see whether that physically.

334
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: We talked this morning with the trainers and just basically

335
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: told him, hey, look tomorrow we have to have some

336
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: answers to lease help us make a better decision. Uh.

337
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: In terms of Will coming off the COVID list, I

338
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: gotta check with Ronnie with some of the specifics. I

339
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: know he started some of the ramp up stuff for one.

340
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: I understand talking Ronnie this morning. UM. The one thing

341
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that we're fair with with

342
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: Will is, you know, this guy's missed two games. It's

343
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: a lot of football he's missed. We gotta be fair

344
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: to him to get him his conditioning back and get

345
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: him back on the field moving around. It's like this

346
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: guy spent the last two weeks lifting weights and run

347
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: and do an individual drills in his backyard. I mean,

348
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: this guy's you know, been you know, quarantined and fighting

349
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: the virus. So we've got to make sure we get

350
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: them back. We give him a chance that he's able

351
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: to get out there and play a full sixty minutes healthy. Uh,

352
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: and then also make sure he gets some reps on

353
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: the field to account for some that lost time him

354
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: to kind of sharpened him back up for some of

355
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: the movement he's going to see inside in that guard position.

356
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: H
