1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: A long time now are you Hey? I'm great. How 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: about you? It's football seating kind of very well? Yeah, 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: I mean does it feel like the offseason for you guys? 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: I know, yes, the office, Yes, it's exciting, glad. It 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: beats sitting in the office all day. So suns out, 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: it's nice, right to roll. Good. Um. I wanted to 7 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: ask you about a comment that one of your former 8 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: players had to offer before he skipped town to go 9 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: to Las Vegas. Jacob Johnson said he was told that 10 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: basically his position fullback has been eliminated the offense. I 11 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: don't expect you to reveal any sort of details that 12 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: might compromise a competitive advantage as far as how the 13 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: offense might change. But you don't have a whole lot 14 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: of fullbacks on the roster traditionally as you have right now. 15 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: What does that change say about the offense this season? Yeah? Well, 16 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: I mean just from the start the way since at 17 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: least I've been here and prior to that, those guys 18 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: in that room, including Yakum, we're all cross trained, whether 19 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: it's why, whether it's FF, whether you're adjuster in you know, 20 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: multiple three plus tight end groupings or whatever. So everybody's 21 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: crossed trained and honestly, we have flexibility within the position group. 22 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: So in terms of formationing and schemes and stuff like that, 23 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: we're able to function and really do whatever we have 24 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: to do from a variety of personnel groupings and formations, etc. Regardless, 25 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: there's different bodies and we move them around. And you 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: know all those guys, you know, look at John U Hunter, 27 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: Devin Dalton, Keene, they've all played in the backfield. Um, 28 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: you know a good amount, I would say, so you know, 29 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: from that standpoint, just you know, it's business as usual, 30 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: all right, and then business as usual. You've coached tight 31 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: Ends for a long time. I'm not asking for your title, 32 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: but your duties day to day did they involve coaching 33 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: tight Ends? Yeah? Well, buy title is ultimately up to coach. 34 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: But you know, I'm working with the tight Ends and 35 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: I love the group that we have, and you know, 36 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: we're just trying to work our tails off right now 37 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: get better.

I think I saw that 103 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: he was participating in those team workouts recently. Yeah, so no, 104 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: I've got you know, it's it's you're obviously going into 105 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: year three for those guys, so there's always growth, um, 106 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: you know, system growth obviously. Uh, they're going to be 107 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: more experienced now than they were a year ago. So 108 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: those guys are working hard. You know, they're doing you know, 109 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,559 Speaker 1: everything we ask them to do. And you know, again, 110 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: the entire group I have, I'm lucky. I have a 111 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: great group of guys. We have great people in this organization. 112 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: And specific to the tight End room, I got guys 113 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: that like to come to work and enjoy being around 114 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: each other every day U And you know, it's the 115 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: best part of my job. So I've been I've been 116 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: happy with the entire group. And one quick question about 117 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: about the roles of some people, and actually I think 118 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: Dante Scarneki was one of them, said they could see 119 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: you becoming an offensive coordinator one day. I'm just wondering, 120 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: is that a goal you have to maybe one day 121 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: become an offensive coordinator? If not, you know, beyond that, sure, 122 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: absolutely that's a goal of mine. Um, But my my 123 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: primary goal and my primary responsibility is to do whatever 124 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: Coach Belichick asked me to do to the best of 125 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: my ability to help this football team. And that's what 126 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I'm gonna work hard to do that. 127 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: But yeah, great, thank you, Yeah, thank you.
