1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: You guys move back to the facility. I take it,

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: and I'm curious how that went and kind adjustments anybody

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: like to set up you had to stadium. Yeah, certain

4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: thing has been pretty smooth so far. So we've done

5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: as far as that's sure. The spacing out and everything

6
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: day is we're actually using the inside of the quest

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: we we've always had our meeting rooms. We've also transformed

8
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: half of our indoor facility into meeting areas as well,

9
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: So the defense will dude pretty much everything that they

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: have meeting wise outside, the offense is a team room

11
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: out there, and then the offense will use some meeting

12
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: rooms inside as well. So there's a little bit back

13
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: and forth for some of these guys. With smooth transitions

14
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: so far. And I know we're gonna be on practice

15
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: in a few minutes, but just in case guys aren't

16
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: out there, I want to just check with you, like

17
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: all the guys you claimed yesterday, and then like Logan,

18
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: Ryan and and the corner from den w trade for

19
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: like who's gonna be out there and who's been in

20
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: the process of getting on board. You know what, we

21
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,959
Speaker 1: had a couple of guys we claimed the three guys

22
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: we claim they're actually quarantining today and then they have

23
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: to get their physicals later on. So there's some of

24
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: the guys that are in transition. They're gonna be doing

25
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: some physicals that were quarantining. We should have everybody out

26
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: there Wednesday with us. Today today we're still kind of

27
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of guys adds, well, you'll see

28
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: Logan should be out there, Isaac should be out there

29
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: all tonight. She's some new guys. And then just the

30
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: last thing on that, like one of the guys you

31
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: caught on Saturday and then brought back. I think it's

32
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: Williams and Tomlinson. Are they right back out there today

33
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: or do they have to take a step back or anything. No,

34
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: they've been good with us. They stay within the testing protocols.

35
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: I have everything on track. Thanks Leonard. Hey Joe, As

36
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: you prepare for this game, how much do you intend

37
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: to coach the man? And I mean like Mike Tomlin

38
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: across you know the sideline across from you. You have

39
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: your own game plan and what the Steelers like to do,

40
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: But then how much do you coach you know, the

41
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: coach across from you and what his tendencies are and

42
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: how much you know about him and how you how

43
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: you scout him. Yeah, and every coach is a different

44
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: tendencies and philosophy than the game. It's our job to

45
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: know our opponents. It's our job to make sure that

46
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: game plan fits you know what they do well, and

47
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: try to give our players an edge. So in terms

48
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: of knowing how different coaches call the game and how

49
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: they build their team through training camp, and how they

50
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: operate throughout the flows in the season, that's all of

51
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: our jobs and make sure we operate to give our

52
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: players a best chance with their path. Thanks bull Swords.

53
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: Hey Joe if well, hey, um, when you look at

54
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: this opener, because it's so unusual with no preseason and

55
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: everything like that, do you think it is? Is? What

56
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: do you look at as far as how you're going

57
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: to deploy your players? Can you expect any player to

58
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: play snaps nine the snaps um as maybe in a

59
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: normal game you would you look at this and say,

60
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's almost like we gotta give everybody minutes here. Well,

61
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of number one, we want

62
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: to use all our players active in every game anyway,

63
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: and also along with that ball just because of the

64
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: limits on the numbers you can have at games. Anyway,

65
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: we're expecting players have to play the full length. So

66
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: we'll spell guys as far as we can, but we'll

67
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: have to make sure that we have the best guys

68
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: on the field at all times execute the plan in place. Obviously,

69
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: for everybody in the LAG this will be a challenge.

70
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: No one has been able to do time wise to

71
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: this point put their team through any kind of situation

72
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: that replicates the entire length of the game, where that's

73
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: the three hours of competition, the hour plus leading up

74
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: to it. We just haven't been a lot of that

75
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: amount of time by the league, and that's just the

76
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: way it is. So everyone's dealing with the same challenges

77
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: right now. You know, we placed a big episode on

78
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: conditioning without our program trying to get our players acclimated

79
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: and healthy. So that's something we've got to push on

80
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: going forward. So, if for instance, you have seventy five

81
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: snaps on offense, the offensive linemen are gonna have to

82
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: push through and play seventy five snaps on offensive need

83
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: be Yeah, someone's gotta be out there Pulso again, if

84
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: we can spell someone for a play here and there,

85
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: we can rotate it through. Great that will be part

86
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: of the plan as we get through the later part

87
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: of the week. As of right now, everyone's preparing to

88
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: play every snap. Thank you, Tom Rocking Joe, you know,

89
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: and sort of looking around the league, Um, usually at

90
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: this time of year, we we see some football that's

91
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: not quite as sharp as as we see after two

92
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: or three weeks of games. Do you expect that this

93
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: year in particular will be pretty sloppy to start out with?

94
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: And and uh uh, you know, especially given you know,

95
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: the no preseason games and all the things that you

96
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: guys have had to deal with. I think when you

97
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: watch NFL football in September, regardless of the year, tim

98
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: you see a degree of bad football out there in

99
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: the field, turnovers, penalties, some mental eras. You see some

100
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: things within the flow in the operation of the game

101
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: that isn't the way it looks later in the season.

102
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: That's just true to the the Nation Football League every year. Obviously,

103
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: we're coaching to eliminate bad football. And that's you know,

104
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: my goal is a head coach. Uh, I don't know

105
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: if this year would be any different. I can't turn

106
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: around and say it's going to be better or worse,

107
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: but I think September you always see your share of

108
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, bad football has it turns up on table.

109
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: And then if I could ask you just turn around

110
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: to your team in particular. Do you know what you're

111
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: gonna do with captains? Yet? You know what? Uh? Well,

112
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: now some later on we voted this morning as a

113
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 1: team before I announced the publicly, I'll tell the players first,

114
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: but yes, we have our captains. What do you look

115
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: for in the captain? What do you what do you

116
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: want to see from your captain? Well, I think it's

117
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: important to me from the head coach, that someone who's

118
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,559
Speaker 1: a voice of the team that can communicate for everyone

119
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: in the locker room. You know, I stress of the players.

120
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: You know, leadership is about doing your job. Well, it's

121
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: about putting the team first, and it's about you know,

122
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: being unselfish. So you know, you've gotta be able to

123
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: bring people with you to actually be a leader, you know,

124
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: otherwise you're stut there giving speeches and kind of raw ran.

125
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: So we just preached the players that make sure you

126
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: take your time and you know, decide who you want

127
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: to represent you. It's not a popularity contest. You pick it.

128
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: People representing it, you know when we meet on a

129
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: weekly based with the captains. Thank you, we got we

130
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: got time to one more art. Hey, Joe, how are

131
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: you doing? Art's going? Um? When we asked you a

132
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago about your competition at Center, you

133
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: said it was I think scratch even Uh necessarily expect

136
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 1: decision with the way that competition has played out between

137
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: Nick Gates and Spencer Polly. You know there's been a

138
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: pushback either way. Both guys competed hard, made some games

139
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: throughout training camp. We're gonna go through another day or so,
