1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Learning. How are we doing that'd be training camp? UM,

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: all right, it's always always good to get started here. UM.

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: You know, going back to the the end of the spring,

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: I felt like our players really overall had a good,

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: real good spring. UM got a lot done. Some guys

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: really made UM big strong jumps, UM. You know, maybe

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: a little more than normal or maybe we anticipated, but

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: we practiced well. Obviously not perfect. We had a long

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: way to go. I'm not saying that, but I thought

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: the players really did a good job of being we

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: asked them to do, made a lot of improvement, worked

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: hard to a lot on their own, and I think

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: we're in, you know, position to take the next step

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: here and be ready to go in training camp. I

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: think that was reflected in the last couple of days.

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: Players came in. They're focused. UM had a couple of

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: good days on the field. It's been obviously modified, scaled

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: back with the numbers that we have, but guys that

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: we're here are able to do some things that we

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: weren't able to do in the spring. UM have already

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: shown progress on some things they've worked on, and UM

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: the time away and so we'll see how it goes.

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: Everybody else came in today. We'll get get started, um

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: with our just the normal process of getting going in

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: camp today and be ready for tomorrow. We'll go on

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: the field a couple of days of nonpadded practices and

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: by the end of the week we'll be closer to

28
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: playing real football. So M, as all were excited for

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: the start of the season, so I did to get going.

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: A long way to go. We haven't done anything, um,

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: all of us, starting with me, UM, coaching staff, head coach, everybody. M.

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: It's a new season for all of us. We all

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do. UM. I certainly

34
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: have a lot of skills that I need to refine

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: and and and improve and work on to get them

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: to the level that they need to be at for

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,919
Speaker 1: the for the football season. UM. But that's a training

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: camp and and preseason games and so forth or four.

39
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: So we'll work to do those things individually, uh, and

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: collectively as a team and as a staff. So UM,

41
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: that's all part of it. But we all got a

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: long way to go. We all got a lot of

43
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: work to do, and I think we're we're excited looking

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: forward to that opportunity. So UM, get started today with

45
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: the full group, and I just take it one day

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: at a time. Fundamentally didn't get every player report today.

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: That was surprises. Uh yeah, as far as I know,

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: we haven't had a meeting at this morning. So well,

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: we did get a chance to talk to you after

50
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: Julie on the suspensions. So what are your thoughts on

51
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: him not having him for the first four games this season? Yeah, well, Julian, Um,

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: it's a hard, very hard working player. Um. You know,

53
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: we're all disappointed, um, but it is what it is.

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: He's moved on, We've moved on. Just take what we

55
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: have now and do the best we can with it. Sure,

56
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: he's and he's been here the last couple of days.

57
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: I think he's got a good attitude, good work ethic,

58
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: and he'll make the most of the opportunities that he has,

59
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: whatever those are. The ay new to report on the

60
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: contracts of Tom and rob Us yea, there's never any

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: contract news. We don't talk about contracts personal matters. Bothered

62
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: that they didn't come go to is right now. We're

63
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: getting ready for the start of training camp. So everything

64
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: that happened last year in the spring and all that,

65
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm not focused on any of that. I'm focused on

66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: what we need to do in training camp, and again

67
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: we've made a lot of we put ourselves in good

68
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: position to do it. There are some things we got

69
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: to work through. We have players in different stages of

70
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: rehabilitation and availability and so forth. But that being said,

71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: we wouldn't need to have a good training camp and

72
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: I look forward to doing that, which will put us

73
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: in position to be competitor during the season. That's where

74
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: my focus is. Well, I know you're all about this year,

75
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: and you're all understanding that year. That's right, And I

76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask about

77
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, last year's last year. I'm not focused

78
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: on last year. Yeah. What about the fact that everywhere

79
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: we go, folks want to ask about Malcolm Butler? I

80
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: mean sports, coaches, players, university. You're a sports fan and

81
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: we've talked about that. That's multiple months ago. Is there

82
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: going to be any more explanation about why he didn't play? It?

83
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: Focused on training camp? Did you do it any differently

84
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: training camp? Well, we're getting started. We're working on that

85
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: right now. We'll do it the best we can. And

86
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: does it matter to you? Do you care that the

87
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: fans want to know more about this. I'm focused on

88
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: doing the best that I can for the twenty and

89
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: eighteen New England Patriots. That's my job. That's what I'm

90
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna do. That's what I've always done in the past.

91
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: You know, every day that I've coached here, I've done

92
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: the best that I could for this football team. And

93
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: I'll continue to do that. And right now, my focus

94
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: is on a two and eighteen season, not two thousand

95
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: and seventeen, not two thousand and fourteen, not two thousand

96
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: and seven, not two thousand and four, not two thousand

97
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: and one, not two thousand not focused on any of

98
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: those seasons. They're done. This season's team is important for

99
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: you to address the mouth and bop the thing with

100
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: your team. It's important for me to have a good

101
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: season in two thousand and eighteen. I'm gonna do everything

102
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: I can't do that do the best that I can

103
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: for our football team. That's my job and that's my responsibility.

104
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna try to do. Hopefully you can

105
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: respect that, but maybe not feel how much longer do

106
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: you think? How long do you want to go again?

107
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm focused on getting ready for the team, for ready

108
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: for training camp and for the regular season. That's what

109
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: we're doing right now. So anything different ending it for

110
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: this season preium. Every year is different. Every year is different,

111
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: you bet different. We have new players, so we're different

112
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: schedule we have, I mean, everything's different. Two thousand and eighteens,

113
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen, It's never been another year like it.

114
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: So we'll do the best that we can to prepare

115
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: the best, you know, and all the things that we

116
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: have to deal with, and there are a lot of

117
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: things going forward that we don't even know what's going

118
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: to happen. When those things come up, we'll try to

119
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: do what's best for the football team and give or

120
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: put ourselves in the most competitive position that we can.

121
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: It was much fun for you. Yeah, every year is challenging.

122
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: It's challenging. I mean there's no easy games in this league.

123
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: We don't know, we don't play the Division three teams.

124
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a National football league. Every team as

125
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: a good players, every team as good coaches. Every team

126
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: has the same salary cap, draft choices, everything else. Very competitive.

127
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: We respect all of our opponents. We respect every every

128
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: team we face, every player we face, every coach we face,

129
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: always have and always will. So that's a total respect

130
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: for what we have in front of us. We'll have

131
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: to do our best to be competitive. That's our goal.

132
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: Mention your own skills that you want to refine and improve,

133
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: anything specific for yourself that you want to improve, the

134
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: post everything. We kind of coach a game since you

135
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: know whatever, six seven months ago, whatever it was. So yeah,

136
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: I'm a long way off from doing the things that

137
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: I need to do now. We had practices in the spring,

138
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: and that's part of it for all of us, for

139
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, our communication together, our individual fundamental coaching

140
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: and preparation, our work together as a staff. But yeah,

141
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: every years a new year, you have to start all

142
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: over again. You have to rebuild that. Each player or

143
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: each coach, each team has to rebuild it. You can't

144
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: can't pick up where you left off. Spend just too

145
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: much times elapsed. And it's different. I mean specifically anything

146
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: that you've learned in the off season, whether it's technology

147
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: or something from you know, I learned things every year.

148
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: Sure that there's things we've looked at that some changes

149
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: we made, some that we're going to look at and

150
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: see how it goes and maybe modifying as it as

151
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: it moves along. I mean, our team is different. We've

152
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: made some adjustments in our schemes and things like that. Sure,

153
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: we'll evaluate those as we go. It's like we always

154
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: do well. You mentioned every years credit one thing among

155
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: many things that I'm sure I different from last year,

156
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: and no joint practices during training campter first time since

157
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: twenty eleven in your experience, what benefits have come out

158
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: of having that time to just work as a team

159
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: during training camp supposed to going joint practices. Yeah, just that.

160
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you work as a team, you set your schedule,

161
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: you work on the things that you want to work on. Yeah,

162
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: and their advantage is both We've done both ways, just

163
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: didn't work out this year. So I'm out there. It's

164
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: a big thing. Well, things we need to do in practice,

165
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: will try to get accomplish in practice, and we have

166
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: four preseason games. I think they'll be planning competition for

167
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: us to get ready for the year. Still, I understand

168
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: that you do want to talk about this season, But

169
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: in the last few days a lot has come out

170
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: about Jimmy Garoppolo and some of the trade and the

171
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: fallout from that. One of the things that came out

172
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: to you would text him after every win last year.

173
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: Just curious, is that true? And have you maintained a

174
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: good relationship with Jimmy since he's left the team? Yeah? Again, Ben,

175
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: those are things that happened months ago, And honestly, I'm

176
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: not too focused on October, November, December of two and seventeen,

177
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: trying to get our team ready to go for training camp.

178
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's where I'm at looking at the I'm

179
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: I can engage in stuff that's happened eight months. I mean,

180
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: you know like that, we get talk about a million

181
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: things that happened twenty years ago. I got that's I'm

182
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: not there. One of the big issues for this season

183
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: is what's going on right now with the national anthem

184
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: policy and the owners and the players, And I understand

185
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: they're re talking about it now, but do you feel

186
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: like you need to speak to the team about any

187
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: sort of policy, speak to the players about any policy

188
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: you guys might have as a team, or anything like that. Well,

189
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: as you said, right now, the policy is being reviewed

190
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: by the by the league and the players Association, so

191
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm not involved in that. What do you think of

192
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: some of the work that's mean on my guys like

193
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: Devil mccordy and Matthew Slater and Malcolm Jenkins in Philadelphia,

194
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: and it seems like there's a lot more focused now

195
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: on social social justice initiative and at the players. Yeah,

196
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: well those two players, uh, I mean for us, I've

197
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: been great players, great leaders, and I've done a great

198
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: job from our for our team both on and off

199
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: the field. You have talked to them about what their

200
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: involvement is in other things. Again, I'm not involved in that.

201
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: I've been in any of those meetings or that's you

202
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: have talked to Devin and Matt because you notice you

203
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: ed and Brett deal with the staff this year. But

204
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: things as you bring to the table, what attract you

205
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: to answer? Yeah, Brett, this is some thanks for us

206
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: in the spring, and um, you know, going forward, we'll

207
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: kind of see how it see how it goes, and

208
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: my um shure it will kind of work its way

209
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: into some areas. I'm leaving sure exactly what all of

210
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: those are at this point, but um, we'll see how

211
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: it goes. We've alya see you a little bit of

212
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: Malcolm Michel the last year or so. Can you give

213
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: us some kind of many deal where he is maybe

214
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: physically right now what he needs to do to be

215
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: able to get out of God Sym, I can't really

216
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: do that now, no, I mean that's part of where

217
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: we are on these first few days of training camp. Physicals, conditioning,

218
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: run and so forth. And that's really for every player.

219
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: Some of the players who haven't had any injuries or

220
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: setbacks or haven't been getting treatment for anything, kind of

221
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: know where those guys are. But we have a number

222
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: of players that are in various I would say degrees

223
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: of availability or in various stages of rehabilitation and preparation

224
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: for the season. Those guys have been not away from

225
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: us for a month, but they've been being treated, they

226
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: haven't been active on the football field, and as we

227
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: get into those, as we get into those drills and periods,

228
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: then we'll know more. So we have we'll play some

229
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: players on pup NFI lists and when they're ready to

230
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: come off there, come off. And the other players that

231
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: aren't on those doesn't mean that they're full availability. It

232
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: means that they're not on those lists for one reason

233
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: or another, and that will you know, do certain things

234
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: with them based on their physical availability. So you know,

235
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: that's the way it always is this time of year.

236
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: There are a lot of guys in different stages from

237
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: postseason surgeries, from offseason injuries and so forth, and we'll

238
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: just have to, you know, see where everybody is. We

239
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: have the first couple of days of practice are not padded,

240
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: then pad practices start on Saturday, so we're in a

241
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: couple of different stages of training camp here. So we'll

242
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: just have to see all that goes. But let's say

243
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: it's no different than what it normally is with you know,

244
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: call it I don't know, ten to fifteen players. That

245
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: falls somewhere in that overall net of conversation that you

246
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: might be shot in alcoments? True? Is that true? Interested

247
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: in moving him? Yeah, I'm not really going to engage

248
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: in in a media speculation unless you have some professional

249
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: comment on that, which I haven't seen any I certainly

250
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: haven't talked to any media person about Malcolm Mitchell, So

251
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: you have to talk to whoever that is. Why would

252
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: you characterize the work that Mitchell put in to try

253
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: to work his way back from the true? And I

254
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: think all of our players work hard. We have a

255
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: good training staff, we have a good medical staff. I

256
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: think all of our players have been accountable and have

257
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: done the real abilitation that either us, them, or some

258
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: third party has been involved in. I don't think we've

259
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: had a guy. We haven't had a guy in a

260
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: long time that hasn't been compliant or diligent without trying

261
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: to do what he can do to get on the field.

262
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: Some things respond at different rates and others, So okay,

263
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: all right, thank you,
