1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Well, first and foremost super excited to be here. I 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: mean it's been a couple of years since I've been 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: able to get here. Uh, this has been a great 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: opportunity for our staff to really kind of get in 5 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: the weeds with each other. We just really kind of 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: finalized this staff, and it's been a great op for 7 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: us to be able to get into the weeds. We're 8 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: really just we're working from Indy. That's we've taken our 9 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: whole process what we would be doing in Jacksonville right 10 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: now and taking that to Indy and so man, we're 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: doing obviously some of the free agent meetings, going through 12 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: the draft, and then also obviously doing some scheme, some 13 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: football and getting with the coaches. So it's been a 14 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: great transition so far. And really kind of really happy 15 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: to be here. Rookie regular and kind of constantly by 16 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: press shot right, we're shot three hundred rogins game. Did 17 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: you see that? There's not many better, you know, people 18 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: than Bucky in terms of the way his process went. 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: I mean he was first one one of the first 20 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: guys in the building five am meeting with Tom Moore 21 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: on our staff. In terms of just getting some of 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: that experience he was one of the last guys to leave, 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: So you saw a player that was already mature beyond 24 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: his years, and then okay, he comes in and has 25 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: the impact that he had both in the run, the 26 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: pass got much better in the past, protection as the 27 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: year went on, dynamic in space. Just have so much 28 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 1: respect for Bucky, both as a competitor and as a person. 29 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: Wish him nothing but the best, and hopefully we can 30 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: continue to get some of that production out of the 31 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: guys we have because there are a lot of similarities there. 32 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: More fact, wow, that's a great one. The time you 33 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: look at these quarterbacks specifically coming out in the last 34 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: few years, Well, you're in Pop one or football and 35 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: you're in a no huddle shotgun system, and then you're 36 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: in high school and you're in a no huddle shot 37 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: gun system. Okay, you go to college, that may have 38 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: the same been the case. We've got to have patience 39 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: with these guys because the communication piece that you miss 40 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: with the no huddle offenses, not the knock it, it's just, hey, 41 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: we have to take that into consideration when we're going 42 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: through the longevity of a quarterbacks career. I think when 43 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: you're ready to move on I think that it's pretty 44 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: clear to a lot of people in terms of the building, 45 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: the staff, the players. If the cliff is falling off, 46 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: it's it's typically uh, you know, something you can see 47 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: with the with the naked eye, but it's more the development, 48 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: the fundamentals, the technique. If that's all still there, then 49 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: you can continue to win with that player too. When 50 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: you went through all those quarterback yeahs change. That's a 51 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: great question because it really came up last year in 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: a different way, right. We were decimated in twenty two. 53 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: Last year we lose two of our best receivers in 54 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: Tampa and credit the process to just kind of, hey, 55 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: put our heads down. It's our job as coaches to 56 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: go play with the best the players that we have 57 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: and be able to pivot. That was the learning experience 58 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: that we had there that we have to be able 59 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: to pivot, be able to supplement that production. Maybe with 60 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: a different group of players. It might be you know, 61 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: Mike and Chris's production ended up having to become a 62 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: little bit more uh, you know, developed through the receiver, 63 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: the running back room, the tight end room, obviously the 64 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: quarterback being able to playoff schedule. So we learned so 65 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: much from that year, and it was really just do 66 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: we have the ability to pivot and be able to 67 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: kind of supplement some of that production through different avenues 68 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: and different players. Yeah. Grants a guy that I've followed 69 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: now for for the last few years. Obviously being very 70 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: close with Kevin in that process, understanding that it's a 71 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: similar process and the way we do things, the way 72 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: that we want to operate, the things that we're looking 73 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: for throughout the work week, getting ahead of those things. 74 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: He's an elite communicator really obviously high level intelligence football 75 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: i Q. He's all ball. Grant is all ball, uh 76 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: no ego, rides around the Hana, the CRV and just 77 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: wants to live as close to the building as he can. 78 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: And and that's what's always stood out is the ability 79 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: his passion for the game. And you all you've ever 80 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: heard is positive things about him. And you see in 81 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: this past cycle how much he got and how much 82 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: he was in There was no surprise to me there 83 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: and getting yeahs receiver and bringing your offer. Yeah, that's 84 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: a great one. He he's so dynamic, being able to 85 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: move him around where you saw him in LSU, maybe 86 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: not do some of those things right where he was 87 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: mostly outside running more linear routes, vertical posts, some overs 88 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: and then this stop. You know, so the ability for 89 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: him to snap down, get in the slot, be able 90 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: to run some of the choice routes lookie routes, and 91 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: then oh, by the way, you can throw him a 92 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: screen and he can go do something with it. You know, 93 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: our pass game will run through him. And super excited 94 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: to get to work with him. I know it's on 95 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball in Tampa, but do 96 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: you have any insight on Casey Rodgers as a coach? Yeah, 97 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: I have a ton of respect for Casey first and 98 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: foremost as a man. As a leader, he had phenomenal 99 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: communication skills within the building, just a steady eddie really 100 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: just never too high, never too low. I know there 101 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: was a ton of respect in that room for him. 102 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: And then just upfront, I mean he's he's done a 103 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: nice job over the course of the last few years 104 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: and having to again pivot with some injuries that we 105 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: did have at the position. Up front, I think Casey's 106 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: going to do a really good good job in Detroit. 107 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: You're planning to mild your roster, you and power to 108 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: kind of speak and let you know what ehings about me. Absolutely, 109 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: we want to have Trevor's input. He is he is 110 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: our guy, He's the franchise and as much as we 111 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: can involve him in the process without maybe putting too 112 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: much on his plate. He's a new father, now, a husband. 113 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: He's just getting into it, and you know he's but 114 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: he's hungry. He's hungry. He wants to be playing at 115 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: the highest level possible. And how do we include him 116 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: in some of those conversations, specifically with some of the 117 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: skilled players and obviously on the offensive line. So he 118 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: will definitely be involved in some of that will while 119 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: just being mindful of not putting too much on him 120 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: because he's going to be learning a completely new system 121 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: and having to go through a new transition again and 122 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: just another Baker. How does that he compare Baker to 123 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: Trevor and what your process will be to help getting 124 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: in their different player, right, a little bit of a 125 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: different player. But when you look at the experience of 126 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: kind of pivoting in a developmental stage where he Baker 127 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: was at a pivotal moment when after he left LA 128 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: in twenty two and went to Tampa in twenty three, Right, 129 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: I thought Dave did a phenomenal job of really kind 130 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: of onboarding him, getting his confidence back, allowing Baker to 131 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: truly be himself, and then you get into Okay the 132 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: next year in the system, it's a similar one that 133 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: Dave was running, so there was a little bit more 134 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: familiarity there. The development of Baker will be different than Trevor. 135 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: It just will be because of the different type of player. 136 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: But you see a lot of the same in tangibles 137 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: in terms of the work ethic, the want to he 138 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 1: wants to be great, he wants to be coached hard, 139 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: and the process, like how do we get him on 140 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: a schedule, a process every single day that he can 141 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: follow to get him to the point that he feels 142 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: like he's playing at a higher level. Yeah, Josh is 143 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: going to do a phenomenal job. He's got a really 144 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: unique way about him to be able to connect with 145 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: a lot of different people, coaches, pass He's got a 146 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: great sense of humor. But he's he's up there in 147 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: terms of the IQ, the football knowledge, the ability to 148 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: see it, design it and also be able to communicate 149 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: it to the guys. You know, I think this he's 150 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: primed for this. He's ready for this, and I think 151 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: he's going to do a really nice job obviously, so 152 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: rams ties between you Jay, Shane Waldron. Just how much 153 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: did that franchise really influence you guys and what you're 154 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: wanting to build here? Yeah? Very much though that's what 155 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: we all came up within that organization. I think there's 156 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: a north star that we are looking at in terms 157 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: of how do we want to operate? Right? Is it 158 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: going to be identical? No, this is going to be ours, 159 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: But we can take so many different things that we 160 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: learned from there, from both personnel, scheme, people, the way 161 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: that we talk to one another, the way that we 162 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: communicate and treat one another. I think that those are 163 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: kind of the foundational pieces that we took from LA 164 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: and then now, hey, how do we make it ours 165 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: and how do we put this thing all together to 166 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: truly move forward. I really don't have a strong opinion, 167 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I haven't had a ton of experience 168 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: with it. It hasn't really affected me personally as a coach. 169 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: It hasn't like won or lost games for me. So 170 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: I really don't have a strong opinion. I know that's 171 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 1: out there. I know that's a conversation. You know, just 172 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: haven't had a lot of experience with it and just 173 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: don't have a huge opinion on it right now, thank you. 174 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: But he hasn't had the stability that is something that 175 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: similar to Baker, you guys asked about in terms of 176 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: that stability. It's it's important, but he's gonna learn. He's 177 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: learned so much from his different experiences, right for good 178 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: and for bad, and he can take those experiences to 179 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: really dive into this new process. But I think what's 180 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: critical is how do we get him to that standard 181 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: and that structure and that schedule throughout his process once 182 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: he gets here, So now we truly focus on him 183 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: not as much where he's been. What he's had. He 184 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: can take and log those experiences, but now, how do 185 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: we create a little bit of sameness? Give them a schedule? Hey, mondays, 186 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: this is what we want, you know, look for your 187 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: daily rhythm tuesdays within the season with third downs as 188 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: we start to move towards red zone. How do we 189 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: kind of connect with him to have a schedule. I 190 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: think that's the consistency that we're going to try to 191 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: create for him. Quarterback quarterback, Yeah, well, I actually had 192 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: a you know, a not so positive experience with one. 193 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: We Uh it was more just I ended up going 194 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: into one at Kentucky and kind of got a little 195 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: bit looped out while I was in there. It kind 196 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: of made me a little physically ill, so, uh, it 197 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: was It's cool, though, I think it's to each his own. Really, 198 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: I really believe that if that's something that's going to 199 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: help our guys, and you want to make that tool available, 200 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: we have the benefit of being kind of at the 201 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: forefront of some of those things with with TK, Tony 202 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: and shod wanting to be able to provide every opportunity 203 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: that we can have. I don't have a very strong 204 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: opinion on it, but I do think it's something i'd 205 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: be open to for sure. We have kind of a 206 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 1: virtual walkthrough room in Jacksonville that I've never had in 207 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: any of the buildings I've been in, So I'm really 208 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: excited about kind of being able to utilize some of 209 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: those rooms. Get into that for for some of the 210 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: VR training, but not maybe with the goggles on. But 211 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: then get through your staff. You work with a lot 212 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: of younger guys.

There's not one coach that we 227 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: hired that didn't have another opportunity to Tony about that. Actually, 228 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: TK and I were just talking about this, you know, 229 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, just how that ended up 230 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: coming for him. He was a fan of wrestling his 231 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,599 Speaker 1: entire career. I was an ultimate Warrior fan. Although I 232 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, did not look the part by any means, 233 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: I was a fan. I have a ton of respect 234 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: for it. It's entertainment, it's athleticism. He's got a strong 235 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: passion for it, and uh, I just hope it continues 236 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: for him. I know they just signed a new deal 237 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: I think or you know, something to be able to 238 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: kind of get some uh more buzz. But it seems 239 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: like it's going in the right direction. I'm an excited 240 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: for him. No, absolutely not. I My time's well passed again. Mentality, 241 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: It's what you said, it's the adaptability, right. We will 242 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: have a core foundation in principles of how we want 243 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: to you know, operate right, our modes of operation, the 244 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: way that our culture is going to be set, the 245 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: non negotiables right, that's the foundation of what we believe. 246 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: But like I've said of multiple different conversations about players 247 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,599 Speaker 1: not plays, right, we will have the core principles and 248 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: how we want to play, our style of play, but 249 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: ultimately it's our job to pivot and be able to 250 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: adapt to players, especially when it comes to the draft, 251 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: because you want to be able to fill your holes 252 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: but also take the best players available, and it's our 253 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: job to be able to adapt to some of those players. 254 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: Direct you out to shame.
