1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Monday morning, Like, can you start with the daily COVID

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: update and then just talk a little bit about what

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: you'll do in practice today and will this be the

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: more back to normal Yes, Um, nothing to report on

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: the COVID front. Um, we will be outside today. He'll

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: be a full Thursday practice. We'll be in shelves because

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, obvious you get to this time of year

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: yet you only have so many practices left, So full Thursday.

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: How many petted practices do you have left? Too? What

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: do you to speak Tony being able to do today? Um,

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: this kind of will go as you know, go as

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: how he feels. You know, he's gonna give it a

13
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: go today. Well, we'll see what the workload is once

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: we get going. How much did he do yesterday? Just

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know he was there, you know obviously

16
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: sort of type practice we're in so but more you know,

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: the most important thing you did was work with Britt yesterday,

18
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: so getting better. How different is their offense without Jones

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: and what you guys saw that whatever you brotted over

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean really, I mean just the quarterback options and

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: the RPOs, but they're definitely a lot higher, you know, conceptionally,

22
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: but you Obviously they've had a play caller change, so

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: there's a slight adjustment there. And so you know, you know,

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: Dan and the staff have just have spent some extra

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: time going back and looking at Freddie Kitchen's pass, you know,

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: mutching some Cleveland tape and things like that. So just

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: trying to be ready for whatever direction. We feel that

28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: they may try to go offensively. In your experience, but

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: that when there is that midseason coordinator change, how much

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: just Offen's actually changed? How much? How much what when

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: there's a midseason coordinator change, how much does the scheme change? Well,

32
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: I don't think this scheme can you know, really change

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: a whole lot. I mean, I think it's more variation

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: of scheme, uh tendencies, you know, you know, more situational

35
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: preference on you know, how how people like to call

36
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: the game. Um, you know, I just think it would

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: be very difficult to you know, go to a whole

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: sale you know, wholesale change at this particular point of

39
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: the season. As we were walking ever interview just esterday,

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: we side Gag working Ectra with the receivers. There's doctor

41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: receivers of the mony. Have they been doing the last

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks or there's something more emphasis this week.

43
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: Just trying to be uh, you know smart with our time.

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: I think as as a practice of decreases, we've increased

45
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: more of the individual part of it, whether it's pre practice,

46
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: in our post practice segments has been extended. So just

47
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: trying to make sure we're hitting all the concept, the

48
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: route details. You know, it's just so it's just really

49
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: the INSW course is more part of how we're practicing today.

50
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Route details, how figuring part has that been or some

51
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: of the struggle of a WC in the pass the game. Well,

52
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: it's always it's always part of your focus. I mean,

53
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: you know we're not going through anything different that doesn't

54
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: that hasn't happened, and I know my past, so you're

55
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: always trying to get the spacing right, the depths right,

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: you know, uh, tilting it towards matchups and things like that.

57
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 1: But you know, conceptionally, you know you have the things

58
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: you can believe, you believe in, and you know Kellen

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: and the staff have done a really good job and

60
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: you know it's you know, we're playing against a multiple

61
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: defense this week. I mean last time we played the Giants,

62
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: they ran every front and football, So I mean, you

63
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: know that's part of it. They're cover their coverage emphasis

64
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: is completely different from the first game to this game

65
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: as far as what they've done and you know of late.

66
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: So that's that's really what we're staying on top of.

67
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: But you know, as we go through the install phase

68
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: today and complete that, I mean, we just you know,

69
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: we cannot spend enough time on ourself, Scott, because I mean,

70
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: you're always trying to clean your own house. I mean,

71
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: that's that's always an emphasis. Especially this time of years

72
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: is different. Is that unusual to see an activation of

73
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: from It's just part of who they are, you know.

74
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Patrick Graham just just having past experience.

75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: We don't mean you understand his background and some of

76
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: the things he's done in the past, but I mean

77
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: they have gone to some different coverage concepts, uh, you

78
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: know at mid mid season, and you know, I think

79
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: it's uh, I don't know why. I mean, that's something

80
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: that's probably you know, he answered internally, but uh, you know,

81
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: it's it's it's definitely a challenge when you when you

82
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: look at the volume of the things they do, like

83
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: rac time of year when the league starts putting out

84
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: playoffs scenarios and clenching formula to cut you off with

85
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: great respect, we can't talk about that until next week.

86
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: We have to get to ten wins, right all right,

87
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: So it's not a guarantee. I'm just saying, we get

88
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: to ten wins, we can talk about it. So I

89
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: can't mention how on Monday might antects them? What do

90
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: we have next? How much as a coach do you

91
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: love seeing that from a player when he's already ready

92
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: to start planning for the next day. I mean, yeah,

93
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I love the confidence of our

94
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: football team right now. And I think it's just like anything.

95
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: You know, you got to handle the success of of

96
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: being you know, Victoria's teaching every week, and I think

97
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: that's why Mondays are important. I think it's important to

98
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, just stay in tune your evaluation process because

99
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it gives your clarity, U is it

100
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: a real opportunity to grow. So yeah, but you know,

101
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: I love the commidence our football team right now when

102
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: you've had, when you're in a period where you've had

103
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: to struggles like you've had offensively in the past, if

104
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: you found if you can establish one thing or one

105
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: person and then go from there. It kind of helps

106
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: you get back on track, or do you still just

107
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: have to go wherever it starts to click. Let's just

108
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: go from there. We'll build on that. I think that's

109
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: really what the self scale part of it's for you

110
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: go through you know, your your past experience, how can

111
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: you apply it into the current game plan? And and

112
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: then you go, you know, the worst thing we could

113
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: do is to overreact to two results. And I think

114
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: it's so important. We talk a lot about it. I

115
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: know I do. And the code you can't just grade

116
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: based off result, you know, because you can't grade differently

117
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: when you when you win, verse when you don't, because

118
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: that's because you're not really taking advantage of the best,

119
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: the best opportunity for growth. Because you know, there's a

120
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: there's a way that we want to do things. Um

121
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: and you know this time year you have to win

122
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: with with technique and fundamentals. I mean, scheme is important.

123
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. We have plenty of scheme. Our

124
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: volume is definitely gives us plenty to challenge the opponent

125
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: week in and week out. Uh, you know, and I

126
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: think you know anything you know, you know your natal

127
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: reactions to pull back when it doesn't happen. But you

128
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: know you can pull back too much too, So I think,

129
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: just from experience, you know, our volume still needs to

130
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: be a competitive volume. You know, we you know, we

131
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: went a little higher in volume last week because because

132
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: we knew we Washington, we're gonna be playing them twice

133
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: in three weeks. So you know, the mental errors may

134
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: being tattooed high. So is that a reflection of that? So,

135
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're you're always trying to find that

136
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: common ground to make sure you're you know, there's not

137
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: worse soon when you're looking at your call sheet and

138
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: you get out there and they've made some adjustments and

139
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: you're not feeling great about your next call. So so

140
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: it puts you more into the in game adjustment um

141
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: than you're probably normally would be. So, I mean there's

142
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: always some level of that, but you're just you know,

143
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a balance and hacking, and

144
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: I think it's just once again, you just can't overreact

145
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: on either side of the fence to results because it's

146
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: all about play style, production, the clarity of what you're

147
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: getting done. You know, from a technique and fundamental standpoint,

148
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: and that's that's just the way we do it. How

149
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: you see respond to change the role. Tell you what

150
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: focused um love the way Connor is handled you know

151
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: everything you know, And I thought I thought he was

152
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: at twelve player, I mean great out, very high in

153
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: this participation last week. So I mean he's dialed in

154
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: and he hasn't blinked. So I appreciate that from him.

155
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: You can benefit the player sometimes to step away from

156
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: what his role have been, be able to see the

157
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: games differently than the event one day, whatever it might be. Huturns, Yeah,

158
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: it's definitely I think so I think you really, I

159
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: know my experiences. You know, you you probably gain, you

160
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to gain more from the adversity that

161
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: you go through in this game, particularly you know, whether

162
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: it's schematically or you know, line up change. You know

163
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: the fundamentals and technique we just talked about. So I

164
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: think all those opportunities as a chance for for anybody

165
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: to grow, and you know, I definitely think Connor will

166
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: grow from this experience. It's part of that too. Again,

167
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: you have perception becomes reality and you seem to believe

168
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: there's kind of a sense that any flag that flew

169
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: is going to like, well, you can target him because

170
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: he's done it before. So does it help for officials

171
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: for a guy to step away for a few weeks

172
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: and then maybe look at him differently if he does

173
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: come back. Can you talk about from an officiating perspective?

174
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. No. Of course, maybe

175
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: tomorrow will visit that. I guess are you looking at

176
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: are you looking at starting him over the government as

177
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: a legal hold? Well, I think like just anything. I mean,

178
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think Connor mc govern's done some good things.

179
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: So U it is Thursday, so we're we'll stay we'll

180
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: stay pad here. So okay, I need to talk about

181
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: that ten wins threshold since he got to Dallas and previously,

182
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: but in your career, did you first start thinking about it?

183
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: What was the post? And now that there's seventeen games

184
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: to go to eleven? I just think, EQUI that's most

185
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: of Richard. I was just talking about this before he

186
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: came in here, uh, because you know, it may be

187
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: eleven before you before you can look around and things

188
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: are a little more clear. Just really from my experience,

189
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: you know, early as a head coach, you know you're

190
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: sitting here answer questions you know, in week eight, nine,

191
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: and ten, and it's just like, this is just such

192
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: a waste of time because you know, it's you know,

193
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: it's look how much it changed from last week to

194
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: this week. So I just I think it's just an

195
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to keep everybody focused because it's you know, um,

196
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: your messaging is really about focal points. And you know,

197
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: I get that, you know, everybody has to write the

198
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: narratives on it, but I just never felt there's any

199
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: value in talking about it before you need it to.

200
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: The idea was that at that point you felt like

201
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: the lead picture is more clear. UM sixteen game season

202
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: ten ten wins usually give your clarity of what what

203
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 1: what you needed to do to get to where he

204
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: wanted to go. The league enacted a resolution yesterday that

205
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: will allow teams with a vacacy or change a head

206
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: coach to be able to interview assistance within the final

207
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: tweets of every season. What are your thoughts about about that?

208
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: And you know it's very possible that one of your

209
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: coordinators are the coaches can be fresh. Yeah, definitely. How

210
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: many career advancements important? You know, I think as you know,

211
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: the responsibility to head coach, head coach, you want to

212
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: definitely make sure that you know you're you're in line

213
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: with you know, giving your assistant coaches to advance. I

214
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: think that's definitely part of your opport the opportunity in

215
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: this league. So I don't you know, I don't ever

216
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: want to stand in away and I just think, like anything, um,

217
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: I think there's common sense applies to how they're doing it,

218
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: and I think that's a good thing. All right, thank you,
