UM the bond and UM true 27 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: and UM and get it done. So obviously both sides 28 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: are happy.

UM was a strong Canada, very kind 35 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: about Mac Jones, and they've developed them, you know, just 36 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: a few days ago. And I think like for us, 37 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: we're not used to hearing you talking and so highlia 38 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: of a quarterback like that if it's a part of 39 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: the year, does that like, do you think about that 40 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: about me and g Expectations for a guy like Mac 41 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: who's at the center stage right now, Yeah, I mean 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: there's no expectations for anybody. Expectations are for everybody to 43 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: come out and work burn do a good job and 44 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: improve and that's for all of US coaches, players, rookies, veterans, 45 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: every position on the field. Nobody's done anything yet, so 46 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: we'll see what we do. Fill with the rules of 47 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: training camp like ninety minute sessions, no pats, so I 48 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: think Monday or so. How do you ever get wistful 49 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: about the old days of two days and such for 50 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: training camp? Yeah, I can't worry about what the rules 51 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: are and all teams are the same opportunity, so just 52 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: trying to make the most goal. We have um any 53 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: thoughts on how you've adjusted to getting your team ready 54 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: to play over the last ten years with used to 55 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: be a lot more practice time and a lot more 56 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: contact just things. Are there things that maybe you've had 57 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: to emphasize to make off of that for that, Yeah, sure, 58 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: a lot of things haven't change. This is pretty much 59 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: way it's been for the last two years. So RAMPA 60 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: period correct is different times. Thanks you've mentioned, so it's 61 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: kind of what it's been the last with years like 62 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: are there it is what it has started in twenty 63 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: the COVID here in twenties, it was no preseason that 64 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: was different, the ramp up hearing, so we hadn't. But 65 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: I mean it felt like twenty eleven was a lot 66 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: or twenty ten was the last time there have been 67 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: two days and the rules it's been like a decade 68 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: since they've really changed camp. I mean, just are there 69 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: any areas that you had to emphasize more to get 70 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: your team ready to play? Maybe? Yeah, Like I said, 71 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: it's it's a lot different than what it was, But 72 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't really matter. It's isn't that different 73 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: from what it's been the last couple of years. And 74 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: so whatever the adjustments are, they are and from time 75 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: or heads or whatever it is. You know, but we 76 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: look at each year is what the team needs, what 77 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: our opportunities aren't gonna making most so that's different from 78 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: last year. Next year it'll be different from this year. 79 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: Every year is different. Circumstances are different, and our preseason 80 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: schedules different. We're working against and how that fits so 81 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: that we're on the road or home so forth like 82 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: those I it's just al if they adjusted that year 83 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: to you coach half, have you seen Billy Yates kind 84 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: of grow into coaching role from you know, coming from 85 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: the playing side of things. Well, I mean it's Billy 86 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: second year was us. You know, it has a lot 87 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: of experience in our system as a player with coach 88 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: Patrician Detroit, I say, those systems were similar, so you know, 89 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: it's got a really good background. UM, that's a good 90 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: players for specially like some of our other coaches Troy Gard. 91 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: You know, guys that have been in this system that 92 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: you know at a perspective that those of us who 93 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: haven't played, you know, they can see things that we 94 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: don't see, and so those are the valuable people on 95 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: our staff. It was done a good job for us. 96 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: Feel with Coole. How have you seen him progress? Obviously 97 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: a really short period, but just throughout the last couple 98 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: of weeks, last couple of months him progress as a rookie. Yeah, 99 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: Cole's worked really hard, UM, and it's one of the 100 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: first guys in the building every day, last to leave. 101 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: It's done a good job on his assignments, and you 102 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: don't think he's shown a lot of maturity for the 103 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: situations if you put him in. UM. But you know 104 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: it's a long way to go. I mean, obviously everybody 105 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: in this league has talent. Really comes down to production 106 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: and consistency and we'll find out over a period of 107 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: talking about that is I love working with another It's 108 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: good to work with Let's stood out from Rance Mitchell. 109 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: That's just gone. Yeah, Mitch has done a nice shot 110 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: for us. Um get another very experienced player, has been 111 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: in some couple of different defensive systems. Um. You know 112 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: some of the things where I seim to do a 113 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: little bit different. But he's adapted. Well, he's smart, he's experienced, 114 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: he's a good instinctive player, and you know he's had 115 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: some good production through the opportunities that we've been here. 116 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: Understanding what those are and aren't um And I will 117 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: say that goes you know, when we get to you know, 118 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: kind of training camp practices come Obviously he was running 119 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: a pretty different defense over Houston. But Nick being there 120 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: is there any similarity as you look for players, he 121 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: looks for players similar treits, even if you're applying them 122 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: to different defenses. You know, well, I mean every player 123 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: is different. He's player has his own fit into any 124 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: defensive systems. So you know, that's that comes to every player. 125 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: But you know, as far as his work ethic, Um, 126 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, his ability to communicate with a teammates, making 127 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: you know, on the field adjustments and handle different situations, 128 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: appropriate league and so forth, like he's done to get 129 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: job of all that, so things, instinctiveness, incorporation as a player, experience. 130 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: I mean, there's all, there's all positives. The final questions 131 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: Bill when you think about the Poles obviously a guy 132 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: who's been around in the league and it comes with 133 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: a lot of skills mentally, Is there a lot of 134 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: difference between kickers to succeed at that level and their 135 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: approach mentally? We've heard them talk about onto the next 136 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: kick unto the Mexica Is at anything you discussed with 137 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: him or you see similarities across guys who are stuck 138 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: in the league as long as he asked, Um, well, yeah, 139 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: I think there's definitely a common thread on those guys, 140 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, and we've been very fortunately we've got some, 141 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, great ones. Um you know Crisaid Stiver in Cleveland, 142 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: you know, working bar and those guys, the Giants and 143 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: so forth. But you know, more recently than a Terry 144 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: to Kostkowski to Folk, I mean all very professional. Got 145 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: Nickol delayed a part of his career, Adam's been career. 146 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: Steve obviously was the beginning of his career, so you know, 147 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: they came in different stages, but ultimately, you know a 148 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: lot of mental toughness, a lot of confidence, you know, 149 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: having to adjust to you know, the system. Kicking situation 150 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: here in New England is it's the easiest thing in 151 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: the world. It's not like kicking at a dome. So 152 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: you know, they're challenges out on the practice field and 153 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: in the stadium. You know, every day it's there's no 154 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, perfect conditions so to speak for very few anyway, Um, 155 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: but yeah, those guys have a lot of consistency. You know, 156 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: Nick has A does a very good job as um 157 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: as the other ones did too, but Nick does a 158 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: really good job adjusting its technique to the situation and 159 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: in the specific conditions to that kick whatever happens to 160 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: be when you know, um, the rush, the operation and 161 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: so forth. So you know, we're fortunate that we've been 162 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: able to have you know, Jake and and Uh and 163 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: Joe you know as as a you know, good unit 164 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: here for you know, an extended period of time.
