1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: David, you have added any other players to the COVID 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: listen today, We will not be adding anybuddy. We do 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: have one player in the retest situation, so I don't 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: have the results yet. So but so right now, there's 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: nothing officially to report. And as far as the five 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: who were on it as of yesterday, if you have 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: any indication how many of those are in the five 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: day windows, there was just a close contact and they 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: could be back fingers than possibly the unders. Yeah, there's 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: another there's other variables involved in that too, So two 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: or two of the five are in that situation. We're 12 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: virtual meetings continues today or are you back in now? 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: We're back in person. We just actually adjusted our meeting 14 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: spaces just to make sure we have the social distancing 15 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: in tact. So UM canceled a team meeting, split up 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: the special teams into two segments out on the Ford Center, 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: moved the old line into the team meeting room, so 18 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: just just make sure we have everybody spaced out properly, 19 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: very similar to it was. The layout was last really um. 20 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: You know, we had the team meeting in the Ford 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: Center so that there was a magnificent space and had 22 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: both concourse. Uh, ends that were used for the O 23 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: line in the D line and um than even in 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: the spring we used to the concourse space for the 25 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: whole for the whole defense. So we we've done different. 26 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: We're fortunate we have a lot of space because you 27 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: went through this last year. Is it a little easier 28 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: to do this a little transition in the last couple 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: of days. Um, yeah, yes, yeah, it is easier because 30 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: we have the experience. I mean, I thought our video 31 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: staff did a great job at justin um, so you 32 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: know we didn't made a last minute on decision this morning. 33 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, it was definitely easier. Well, Dan, we used 34 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: all have like a defensive team meeting and Dan, we'll 35 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 1: do that virtually or where you Um, we did it. Uh, 36 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: we did it internally. Dan was you know, he was 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: on he was on the meeting virtually, but you know 38 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: Joe would handled the initial um beginning the meeting and 39 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: so you know today is our focus is more on review. 40 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: You know, obviously we didn't we played very well against Houston, 41 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: had way too many mental airs. So this is more 42 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: of an install review. Still trying to get some things 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: cleaned up, as you know, what kind of this is 44 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: our last shot today in tomorrow before we go into 45 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville prep at the end of the week. Are 46 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: the guys that aren't in the close contact situation they 47 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: sent him at it? You know, No, I don't know. 48 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: I can't tell you all that. I think the players 49 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: are doing fine. Griggs, are Lyne, John FOSSi will express 50 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: out the visits. He might be the Kate on Sunday 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: that you're That's that's our initial outlook going into the week. 52 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: So what we'll see how this, you know, we'll see 53 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: how it goes throughout the week. But it'd be good 54 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: if Greg was able to kick Sunday. There you bringing 55 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: him up up today, tomorrow, next couple. If he's gonna 56 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: kick Sunday, we're probably bring one up up. Yeah. Well, no, 57 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're working towards that. So, yeah, we're working 58 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: towards him. Have you made your roster decision to you 59 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: on on that or would that be after Yeah, to 60 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: make at least one. Yeah, but based on this retest, 61 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: we we don't have to make any today. So that's 62 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: that's kind of we're in flux right now. We'll kill it. Coach. 63 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: When you're evaluating players, get preseason to roster spots. You 64 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: how much you way three season games versus a whole 65 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: body verse practice, I think you have to evaluate live 66 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: action is definitely has has a lot to do anything. 67 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: So um, I mean it's the whole you know, it 68 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: starts in April and you know just how they play together. Um, 69 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: you know, we're just given an example to priory seasons. 70 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: You know this, I would say this is a very 71 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: disjointed season for the offense. You know, we haven't had 72 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of reps where everybody's played together, 73 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: and we haven't had any reps in a preseason game 74 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: where the first group has played together. So so you 75 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: you worked at the best you can you evaluate it. Um, 76 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: defensively is I think part of the you know, the 77 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: reason we feel so good about the path that we're 78 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: on is these guys have been able to play together 79 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: each week so for the most part. So yeah, the 80 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: preseason games definitely play a much higher role. But I'd 81 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: say they play a much higher role in the evaluation 82 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: with the younger players because you know, obviously you have 83 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: history with your older players. You say you're you're looking 84 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: to clean up a lot, especially offensively. How do you 85 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: balance the fact that, well, this isn't a true read 86 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: of where it will be offensively because we have so 87 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: many key players out. Is that all that there's a 88 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: projection I mean, there's a projection component, and then there's 89 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: the reality of you know what it looks like when 90 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: they do when everybody lines up together. So, um this 91 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: is u a different training camp. And for me personally, 92 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you have you know, you have to shift 93 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: a lot of gears. You know, you're you're in California 94 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: and then you come back here and and then you know, 95 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: we're trying to get into the into the heat. This 96 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: will be our first day in the heat. You know, 97 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: you had the night practice last week, you had the 98 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: indoor practices last week. Um So, I've always tried to 99 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: make sure you're able to clean up the the install area, 100 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: which which is our second practice with that, and then 101 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: we'll have some preliminary things that'll that'll be slid in 102 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: there for Tampa Bay and um like tomorrow we'll work 103 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: our first end season Wednesday schedule, so everybody has a 104 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: clear idea what the meetings look like, you know, what 105 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: the practice looks like, um so, and then we'll get 106 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: another you know, another report to Thursday practice and then 107 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: another report to Saturday practice at the end of the week. 108 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: So you know, in normal years, you'd like to have 109 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: one full week of just the end season schedule, but 110 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, our preseason schedule didn't really dictate that because 111 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: you know, we have we have you know, we played Thursday, Friday, 112 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: Saturday so to day. So I mean it's just so 113 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: just trying to get the team into a rhythm and 114 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: a regularity. And oh yeah, by the way, we have 115 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: a COVID situation the last two days, so I mean, 116 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: let's just keep working through it. We got to see 117 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: a lot of how players developed. But you're working with 118 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: Joe Wit what if he's stating from his development, Joe's 119 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: an accomplished football coach. Um, so yeah, he's I've watched 120 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: him grow from you know, quality control all the way 121 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: up to you know pass you know, excuse me, pass 122 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: game coordinator. So this is this is a good opportunity 123 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: for him in small doses. But uh, at the end 124 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: of the day, it's it's about moving the team forward, 125 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: you know, moving to defense forward, and um, you know 126 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: we have a plan. I mean, this is this was 127 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: this was scheduled out ahead of time to this the 128 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: type of practice you know that we're having. So uh, 129 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: just as you know he's he's keeping us on script. 130 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: So what exactly already responsibility in terms of how they evolved? 131 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: Not a dan is not able to be a practice this, 132 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: I mean, really just keep us on script. I mean 133 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: we haven't had to go have a job responsibility review 134 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: or anything like that. I mean it's you know, we 135 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: we we've had the schedules set and and just really 136 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: probably the biggest adjustment for Joe and everybody has been 137 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, moving the classrooms. You know, just make sure 138 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: that the classrooms are are situated the right way. Mica 139 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: is someone who's gotten a lot of STAPs for you 140 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: in the preseason so far. He's gonna have a big 141 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 1: role for you. Would would he play in his final preseason? 142 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,119 Speaker 1: Was the name Parsons like Parsons um young player at um? 143 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: You know, I would look at all the snaps. I 144 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: mean that's you know, we spent a bunch of time, 145 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: spent a long period of time yesterday in personnel meetings, 146 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: so um, the number of snaps. Uh, you know, I 147 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,119 Speaker 1: think this last preseason game is really for the younger 148 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: players that you know, this is about roster development. That's 149 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: that's why I've always handled the last game. This is 150 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: the last chance to really find out about the guys 151 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: that are are competing. So and we're talking about all 152 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: sixty you know, all sixty nine spots like you talked 153 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: about couper Russians opportunity this week. What you most want 154 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: to see him from a practice today, Well, I just 155 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: want to seem, you know, be consistent. And you know 156 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, it's a little bit of a 157 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: movement target today because you know they've had the meetings, 158 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: but you know it's it's it's a review practice, so 159 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: they're not really settled into a game plan and the 160 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: defense is in the same mode too, So just you know, 161 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: look for him to have a good day to day. 162 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: Well the apologies you said this already, we'll dan be 163 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: able to watch the practice life. Actually y'all have to 164 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: set up like that.
