1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: I have a question about we saw you coaching up 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: State quin Heart at one point. H as a general question, 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: how important you think it is to be able to 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: coach up your top player is really hard. Look, we 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: coach everyone the same, you know. We're trying to demand 6 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: the best out of everybody and make them improve every day. 7 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: We're not letting details slip. Most of the thing almost 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: oppressed with is how coachable this team is. They come 9 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: in here every day, they're looking for details, to look 10 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: for coaching points. They want to improve, they want to 11 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: do better. They understand it's about the message, not how 12 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: the message is always delivered. We coach hard. We're very demanding. 13 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: Just a tough job. Okay, you're in New York City. 14 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: That's a tough place to play and coach. We have 15 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: to have guys who with a thick skin and understand 16 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: we have to operate in a high pressure situation. So 17 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: we can't go out there on the practice field and 18 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: just sing Kumbaya together. And I think we're gonna advance. Leonard, Hey, Joe, 19 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: do you have an update on what happened to Corey 20 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: Valentine and Cody core You know, I don't have any 21 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: information on the second one, I'll say, uh, I'll wait 22 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: for the trainers to the official on balent top.

Last 25 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: night a couple of form players, Shannon Shark and then Watson, 26 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: came out and kind of criticized your approach for having 27 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: guys run lapse. They said, it's it's not gonna work. 28 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: What's your reaction to that, number one and number two? 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: What's the line like for you with wanting to strike 30 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: um a no nonsense tone, but also wanting to have 31 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: your vets on board. Uh, Guys who might not be 32 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: used to this with with what you're doing, well, first off, 33 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: everything we do has a purpose, and we're very intent. 34 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: I'm explaining to our team why we're doing things we're doing. 35 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in in educating our team and 36 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: why we're doing things that we're not just blindly out 37 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: there winging and trying to go ahead and force punishment. 38 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: I explain the other day, when you make mistakes on 39 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: the field, there's consequences in the game. It's penalty yards. 40 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: At practice, we have to understand there's consequence as for mistakes, 41 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: this isn't a punishment, it's a reminder that we have 42 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: to draw our attention and be more detailed. And now 43 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: he approached things down rock shoe. Now that they've been 44 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: in pads for a few days, what have you seen 45 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: from Andrew? Uh, It looked like he had some good 46 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: points and bad points today when they were doing the 47 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: past protection. Well, look, they're all learning, you know, and 48 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: for rookies, they got to ben used to the speed 49 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: of the game. But I'm very pleased and how they're 50 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: working on a daily basis. You know, we've seen a 51 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: lot of things through the competition so far. As on 52 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: the second day in pads. You know, look, you're looking 53 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: for improvement from day to day, and when you go 54 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: in pads for the first day, you're really looking for 55 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: a dress improvement from day one to day two. The 56 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: biggest thing is guys have a lot of energy and 57 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: enthusiasm in that first day in pads. What they don't 58 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: always have is a level of execution because you guys, 59 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: it's been months since they've ever since they put on 60 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: the shoulder pads in a helmet, and it's playing at 61 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: a different temple and intensity and the technique has to 62 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: match up for the physicality the game has. So I 63 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: saw some improvement today. I was pleased with that. Watch 64 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: the tape of see what else we have on shorts. 65 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: You just have a question of market market Joey Paul, Hey, 66 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: joe Um, when you um talking about Andrew Thomas a 67 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: little bit, and you know those drills, do you want 68 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: the uh, the pass rushers, they have to work on 69 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: their stuff, but do you want to make sure the 70 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: rookie like that gets a full array of bull rush 71 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: you know, spin moves everything. I mean, they gotta work 72 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: on theirs and he gotta work on theirs. But you 73 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: try to coordinate it so you get to see everything 74 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: you can with the rookie. Well, I's say, if it 75 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: gets to a certain player, Paul, who needs a certain 76 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: amount of something specific, we can always set that up 77 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: in a drill. We can always go ahead and say 78 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna set up a pass rush drill where it's 79 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: all you know, bull rushes or spin moves, whatever that 80 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: may be. At this moment in time, we're just line 81 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: up players across from each other and through getting a 82 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: quantity of reps we should see in a array of rushes, 83 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: so that should benefit everyone involved. The biggest thing for 84 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: us at this point is the players have to learn 85 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: start identifying the opponent is and what their tool set 86 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: is that they like to use. You know, we go 87 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: get to pass rush or you start narrowing down what's 88 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: their main one and then what's their main counter and 89 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: start getting a pattern for what they're doing. If they 90 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: went ahead and bull rush the last time, what are 91 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: they gonna do next time? Is it a push pull 92 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: and try to get you a speed on the outside? 93 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: Is a spin move inside? They're trying to get to 94 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: your planet, your feet and counter off that. So the 95 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: players have to become smart in the action anticipating what's 96 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: coming next with an opponent. Are hey, Joe, uh? They 97 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: are the tackling drill at the goal line seemed to 98 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: get the juices going for the guys. The first time 99 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: I've seen something that physical in camp in a while. Here. 100 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm just curious how long go back in the programs 101 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: you've been a part of, and is that something that 102 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: you've always needs to be done. Yeah? Absolutely, Listen, we 103 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: can't get the guys ready to drive an on ninety 104 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: riding back rooms and if we think the Pittsburgh Steelers 105 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: are coming in here to hug us. We're all sadly mistaken. 106 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: So we have to train these guys in a physical 107 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: manner to make it safe for them to play the 108 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: game in the way the game is played. And answer 109 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: your question, are I've been doing that drill personally within 110 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: progress I've been in for the better part of a decade. Okay, 111 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: it's a safe drill. It's a controlled space, all right. 112 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: It's how we can teach guys too, all right, safely 113 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: have collisions, because that's what the game is gonna be 114 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: as a collision game. It reinforces technique. We can teach 115 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: off it on the tape. We do that training camp. 116 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: We've also done that throughout the season at different programs, 117 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: have been a part of. You know, that's actually a 118 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: drill a lot of times to use for even a 119 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: young guy come up with practice squad, maybe some returning 120 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: from injury, whether maybe a ball carrier, tackler, and you 121 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: have to test out where they are health wise. If 122 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: it's a defensive player, is he healthy enough to tackle 123 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: as he turned down contact. If it's an offensive player, 124 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: can he sustain the ball security through contact to make 125 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: sure he's not fumbling every time he's hit normally. There's 126 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: a shock factor when the fans watch that at first 127 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: the media season at first with oh, they're hitting. Just 128 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: put in the context of what we're trying to do 129 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: in every play. We're staying on our feet and most 130 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: a practice with the exception of a couple of live 131 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: tackling drills, and you have to selectly do those through 132 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: training camp to get the guys ready, and we're not 133 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: doing anything out that they're trying to see. The toughest 134 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: guy in the schoolyard is we're trying to get every 135 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: player ready to play safely for sixty minutes against the 136 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: competitor for sixteen weeks.

And what we're seeing with them in pads 159 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: is a physical nature to get down there and do 160 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: the dirty things that we're asking them to do, to 161 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: block every down okay, to dig out those down safeties 162 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: all right, to go in there and mix it up, 163 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: to have ball security through contact.

They gotta keep 170 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: on that track, obviously, you know the pads are on now. 171 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: It's more competitive as we get towards the scrimmage on Friday, 172 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: and see what next week has with the split squad 173 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: game will have you know, that will reveal a lot 174 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: about our team. Fast question here, Douggie. Hey, Joe, you're 175 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: talking yesterday when you put the team, how you know 176 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: you pick things to evaluate. I'm just curious. You know 177 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: that's the first time being the head coach, Um, how 178 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: are you enjoying that? How much different is it from 179 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: when you're just coaching position or just coaching and you know, 180 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: unit like special teams. Well, you know what it's it's 181 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: definitely different, Dan. I mean, the first time we had 182 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: to walk through was the first time of waffron the 183 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: field and didn't have a specific area to go to 184 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: right away. And to be honestly, it takes you a 185 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: couple of days of kind of getting your bearings and 186 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: get your feet in. But I know there's certain things 187 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking for every day. I want to get my 188 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: eyes on every player in some way, shape or form. 189 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: And it's my planning pre practice and who I'm looking 190 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: at every drill and what's my purpose? You know. I 191 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: look through the script under the places that are gonna 192 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: be called. I look at the drills that are set 193 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: up in design that we talk about the meetings. I 194 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: know who I'm looking at for certain things for certain matchups. 195 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 1: We may talk in a meeting and say hey, I 196 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: want to get so and so over so and so 197 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: in a pass rush or one on one receiver DV 198 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: and see how they make out. But you know, listen, 199 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: you got to go in every practice with the plan. 200 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: You know, the coaches do a tremendous job of staying 201 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: organized and working through the daily progress. But as a 202 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: head coach, of gotta walk around and make sure I 203 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: make sure the team is moving at the rate I 204 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: need to, and then to HYEH individuals for evaluations that 205 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: we go ahead make decisions for the team. I have 206 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: all the necessary information and just a quick one, Uh, 207 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: I didn't see my col mcloy is out there for 208 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: the first I don't an hours. So practice was everything okay. 209 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: There he was doing the personal matter, but he was 210 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: you know, we know about it and he's all good.
