He graduated this past week. It's 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: an awesome accomplishment for him. We've been grinding away here 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: into phase three of the program. I think we've made 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: some strides physically with the strength and conditioning program phase one. 6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: In phase two. Really, it's a learning camp, a teaching camp. 7 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: That's how we approach it. No one's going to make 8 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: the team off of performance at this camp. There's certain 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: rules and things that you know, we try to coach 10 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: and make sure that our guys are on top of 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, there's always will be I think there's a 12 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: few guys out that had prior engagements for today. They'll 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: be back next week. We've had really good attendance. There'll 14 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: be some guys working the rehab stuff throughout practice. Each 15 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: of those guys kind of are at different stages. I'm just 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 1: trying to get them as healthy as we can. I'm 17 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: not going to get into specifics of any of them, 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: and then i'd say, you know, with Saquon, you know 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: that situation is going to be between Saquon and the organization. 20 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into detail with any of 21 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: the discussions that we've had on that spot. So I 22 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 1: hope everybody's doing well. Good to see you whatever you got. 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: You said, this is all learning teaching camp yep, with 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: the young kids, with the rookies to want to drafted guys, 25 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: what except are you looking for of figuring out how 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: well they're fixing in? Yeah, the big thing is taking 27 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: it from the classroom to the field. There. You know, 28 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: I'd say they're behind considerably, which is the same every 29 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: year I've been in the NFL. So our job as 30 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: a coaching staff is to try to get them up 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: to speed as quickly as we can, lay a foundation 32 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: for training camp. So when we get to training camp, 33 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: which I think is about two months it is today 34 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: at twenty fifth, Yeah, about two months, so they have, 35 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: you know, a lot to learn in a short amount 36 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: of time, and try to get them as prepared as 37 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: we can so in training camp they can go out 38 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: there and again there's players slow down when they're thinking 39 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: a lot. So when you're just learning a new system 40 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: and maybe not playing as fast as you'd like to 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: play because you're thinking about a lot of different things. 42 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: So just try to get them acclimated to our systems 43 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: to our calls to how we do things, but a 44 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: long way away from you know, from training camp actually, 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: so they'll get reps, we'll learn from those. There'll be 46 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes on everybody's end, including mind, and 47 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: try to get better so we can be ready to 48 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: go for training camp. 49 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: Roll. 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: You've been on staffs before where contract and business have 51 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: gotten in the way of players. What's the what's the 52 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: what's the key I guess to once there is a 53 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: resolution to making sure that they're all no hard feelings, 54 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 1: once the player and the team come back together. Yeah, 55 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: I think you build relationships with people in the business, 56 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: and there's always a business side of things in this league. 57 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: And again you know those conversations will remain private, but 58 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: you know, the guys on the team that you have, Uh, 59 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: everybody goes through it. At some point. You just build 60 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: on relationships and you know, you keep you know, discussions 61 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: private between yourself and and the players. That situation would 62 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: take one would be settled at some point this summer. Right, 63 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: there's there's a deadline date. Uh, are you working under 64 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: the impression that you'll have from here this summer then 65 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: at that point, yeah, I I'd like respect the question. 66 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into any con any talks about contracts, 67 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: what could happen, what cannot happen, out of respect to 68 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: to this situation. He's expected here from the mini camp, right, Yeah, 69 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: I I'm not gonna get into any discussions about that. 70 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: Is there any of the guys who missed last season 71 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: or part of the last season, or any end of 72 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: last season I guess, or any of them actually fullgo? 73 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: You said, a bunch of guys who goes anybody? 74 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: Yeah? That point where they're will go? Yeah, Rob Beavers, Yeah, 75 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: I think they're all ryan at different stages where they're at. 76 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: You know again, our training staff has done a great 77 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: job with those guys and they'll continue to work with them. 78 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: Wherever have. 79 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: Different stages. Yeah, they're all at different stages. 80 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: Dave's gonna ask you a big picture of question. With 81 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: some of these rule changes that have been implemented, how 82 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: does that a affect how you teach? And b does 83 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: that change what you look for in in players? Uh? 84 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: Talent? Yeah? I think there's rule changes, uh, Patty every year. 85 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: Uh So, our job as a coaching staff is to 86 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: to make sure we understand 'em first and then teach 87 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: our players accordingly. Whatever they are, they are, whatever the 88 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: rules are, that's the rules, and we just we play 89 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: by the rules. 90 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: Do you ch look for different things, you know, like 91 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: for example, this kickoff change does that effect? Does that 92 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: change what you look for in certain players that might 93 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: fill that role? 94 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: No, I think we have a you know, a good 95 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: understanding of of what each guy has to do based 96 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: on their responsibility. Uh. And again, the rules are are 97 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: the rules, whatever they are, we we coach 'em. 98 00:04:59,440 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: Right. 99 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: How do you how do you assess a player like 100 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: Beaters who you never really did get to see them 101 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: on the field last year, at least not. 102 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 2: Yeah. 103 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: No, he's been in here working hard.

But 117 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: it's a new team, new personalities to deal with. We 118 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do, got a big 119 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: hill to climb, and we'll just take it one day 120 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: at a time. 121 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: Does that what a meditation change? 122 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: With the veteran guys coming into your second year in 123 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: the system.

Again, when you're in 147 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: a system for one year, some guys are a little 148 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: bit ahead of the other. You got to try to 149 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: catch 'em up.
