1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: We have Josh Michaniels. We're gonna start with Alex Parry.

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: Sorry I stelled my hand up from Bell. Sorry about that,

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,159
Speaker 1: No problem. We're going right to Ben Valling, followed by

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: Tom Kern. Morning, Josh has gone, good man. How you

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: done good buddy. UM. So it's been like a month

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: plus now that you've had Cam Newton, obviously coming into

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: a team in this type of situation, given everything going

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: on in the lack of offseason time that you guys

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: have had, not easy to learn a playbook and to uh,

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: I guess learn a whole new team and system. How

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: How has it gone with him over the last month,

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: and just what's it been like working with him. He's

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: he's come in and UM, he's really worked hard. UM,

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: and it's really been an enjoyable experience for me, for

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: our staff, our team, just to get to know him

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: and you know, the things that he's been familiar with, UM,

17
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: and then you know, watch him acclimate to our system

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: and our players and the way we do things. UM.

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: You know, his attitude has been great. UM, it's been

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: it's been fun. It's been a fun process. Uh. He

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: brings a lot of energy. UM, it's there's never a

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: dull moment. And um, and he really, um, you know,

23
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: you can see why the players gravitate so much towards him.

24
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: His personality lends itself to that, you know, whether it's

25
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: in the meeting room, on the practice field, in the

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: locker room, etc. So, UM, he's done a really good job,

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, we we have a long way

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: to go in terms of, you know, hopefully where we'll

29
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: ultimately be in terms of growth and understanding of the

30
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: totality of what we may may be able to become

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: on offense. Um, you know, but you know, I think,

32
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, there's nothing more I could have asked him

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: to do in the in the fourth weeks that we've

34
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: been working together to try to grasp his responsibility in

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: our offense at the quarterback position. I think the guys

36
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: that have been in that room have really worked well

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: together to help that process along. We've got guys with

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: different varying levels of experience, and certainly I think they've

39
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: they've welcomed him and as as have our you know,

40
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: our offensive players, our team, and he's really done a

41
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: good job of reciprocating that with his work in his

42
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: effort every day Yeah, nice question, Tom Kern, followed by

43
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Zach cors Hey Josh, Hey, Tom, I'm wondering you must,

44
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: as a coordinator, when you're preparing, put yourself in the

45
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: shoes of the defensive coordinator from the opposing team and say,

46
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: all right, here's the things that he's going to have

47
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: to deal with. I look at this matchup. There were

48
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: no preseason games, no choice practices. They couldn't send any

49
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: scouts to your trading camps. They have no clue what's

50
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: going to happen. Do you feel like this is a

51
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: unique one time advantage that you guys can just throw

52
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: the kitchen sink at somebody and they have no clue.

53
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that we have a kitchen sink to throw,

54
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: but you know, it's it's an interesting that the point

55
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: you make is certainly present, you know, But I think

56
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: it's I think it goes both ways because they have

57
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: the same opportunity, you know, I think each team an

58
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: opening day when we did have a preseason, there was

59
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: still a lot of anxiety, still a lot of unknown

60
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: that you were dealing with relative to what you may

61
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: or may not see, where players may or may not

62
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: line up, who may or may be playing across from you,

63
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: which I know our players are preparing for a lot

64
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: of different scenarios and situations as we are. I think

65
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: both teams, you know, especially this year across the league,

66
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: both teams are going to have the same opportunity, you know,

67
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: to unveil something that we haven't seen from the other team.

68
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: I think that's why, you know, our focus usually has

69
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: always been on opening Day to try to do things

70
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: that we have confidence in that we know how to

71
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: adjust out that if we get a different look, you know,

72
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: our system is not going to break down with the

73
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: things we're going to try to do. And so you know,

74
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure we're going to see I mean last year,

75
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: I remember in the very first play of the Pittsburgh game,

76
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: we saw a brand new a brand new alignment, a

77
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: brand new front, and a brand new adjustment from Pittsburgh.

78
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: And then we went down to Miami in Week two,

79
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: in the very first play of the game, we saw

80
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: a brand new front, a brand new alignment, and a

81
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: brand new adjustment. So it happened last year with preseason

82
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: games because a lot of coaches don't show their hand

83
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: in the preseason. This year has just been easier to

84
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: protect that because we haven't had anything on television or

85
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: on Haye. So UM, I think there's there's definitely going

86
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: to be an element of newness to you know, what

87
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: we're seeing from them, what they're seeing from us. UM.

88
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: And that's why opening day is so critical in terms

89
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: of being able to UM put your players in a

90
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: position to do something that they know how to do,

91
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: and then you got to be quick to adjust because

92
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: it certainly might change quickly for us, for them, UM,

93
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: and and for our staff. So UM, there's gonna be

94
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some interesting moments, I'm sure on Sunday, UM,

95
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: and hopefully we can if we need to make adjustments,

96
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: we can do it quickly and our players can can

97
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: understand what we're trying to do against the looks we're

98
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: seeing and make those adjustments in the game. So yeah,

99
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: My next question Jack Cox, followed by Phil Perry. Hi, Josh,

100
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: have you seen the um the type of development from

101
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: Nikkil that you were hoping for as he as he

102
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: heads into year two here? I think Nikkil has really

103
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: worked hard and that's that's shown shown up on the

104
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: practice field, UM, in the meeting rooms, he's much uh,

105
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: you know, he's just much further along in terms of

106
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: his understanding of what his role is, how to do

107
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: things the way that we want him done. Um, you know,

108
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: and and he's been able to be productive in those

109
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: roles in training camp, and UM, you know, he's got

110
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: to continue to work hard. We're going to continue to

111
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: push him, um, you know, and ultimately what matters is

112
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: that we go out there on the on the football

113
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: field and on game days we can be productive with

114
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: the things we're asking him to do. So, um, still

115
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: a lot of growth ahead of nikkiel Uh. Very pleased

116
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: with the way he's been working, his approach, his acclamation

117
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: to his second year in training camp and uh, you know,

118
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: excited to kind of see how we how we can

119
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: start the season and continue to move forward and grow

120
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: with him. Thank you and thanks. Question Phil Perry, followed

121
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: by Evan Lazar Josh, how's it going good? How you

122
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: doing good? They sound like a dumb question, and but

123
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask it anyway. UM, no more questions, Phil, Well,

124
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: how much is math a part of your job as

125
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: a play caller, because, um, I think when we think

126
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: about like a fullback and maybe a running quarterback and

127
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: how that can change things for defenses, how often are

128
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: you going through calculations in your head in terms of

129
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: what the defense might do in response to guys that

130
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: you have on the field. It happens, let's say, more

131
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: subconsciously and and just you know, in the natural flow

132
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: of the work week and in the game. But it's

133
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: it's ever present. UM. You know, you're you're talking about balancing, UM,

134
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: statistical data that you understand that you have, you know

135
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: at your fingertips here you have analytics relative to what

136
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: they've done against us in the past. Uh, maybe analytics

137
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: in terms of what's happening in real time in the game,

138
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, based on matchups, what's what we're seeing early

139
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: in the game and how that's how that's progressing. UM.

140
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of percentages your plan. UM,

141
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: you're trying to evaluate risk. You're trying to evaluate, UM,

142
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, what can get us in the best situation

143
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: for the next down. UM, and ultimately you're trying to, uh,

144
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, have success. So there's a lot of numbers

145
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: that go into our preparation. There's a lot of numbers

146
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: that go into in my opinion, play calling. UM. You're

147
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: you're you're constantly working through what you think you can

148
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: present to your team that you know that they can

149
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: really digest and understand. And you know, ultimately our goal

150
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: as a coaching staff is to is to show them

151
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: things that we believe we're going to see and hopefully

152
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: we can see them on Sunday and then when we

153
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: see the things that we practiced that we do them well. So, UM,

154
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: I would just say numbers, math, calculations, analytics, statistics. Um,

155
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: they play a big role in our preparation. They play

156
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: a big role and how we call the game. They

157
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: play a big role in in our you know, and

158
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do each each series as we

159
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: move forward in the game. Thanks Jo, Yes, question they

160
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: have one Lazarre, followed by Alan Segel. Hey, Jo, I

161
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: just wanted to ask you with the quarterback like Cam,

162
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: do you have like a number in your head or

163
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: anything about how many times you want him to run

164
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: with the football and how do you kind of go

165
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: about preserving his body for the entire season while also

166
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: allowing him to be you know, Cam Newton. Yeah, well,

167
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's a great question. Um, you know, really

168
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: have never had that, um, you know that question, you know,

169
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: uh needed to be answered and so we're be smart. Um,

170
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: I think with a lot of those different things, and

171
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: especially I would say early in the season, we've talked

172
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: a lot about this with our team. Um, you know,

173
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: we don't have a player in our roster right now

174
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: that's played a seventy play game. We don't have a

175
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: player in roster has played a forty play preseason game. So, uh,

176
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, depending on what the weather is early and

177
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: all the rest of it, I think our team could

178
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: go through the same thing, you know, And in terms

179
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: of trying to use our depth, I would hope that

180
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: everybody that's active is going to participate and contribute in

181
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: terms of protecting ourselves as the game moves along. But

182
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: in Cam's case, you know, he's he's very good in

183
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: terms of communication about where he's at his body in

184
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: those types of things. I'm sure that well, we'll do

185
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: a good job of monitoring that along with the rest

186
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: of our guys as we head into the year. Thanks

187
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: question Allen Seagull, followed by Michael, Thanks, Jas, Thank you

188
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: doing Josh good? How are you doing? Okay? Thanks? You know,

189
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: before you signed camp, he probably had an idea of

190
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: what but he was all about as a quarterback. But

191
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: as he came into camp and you saw things that

192
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: he could do, were there things that maybe you didn't

193
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: even know that he could do that led you to

194
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: believe that, hey, we can stand our offense. We can

195
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: do this, and you maybe didn't think that you can

196
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: do it just seeing what his skill set is in general. Yeah,

197
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I look, I've seen him on on tape.

198
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: I stuttered him extensively when we were when we were

199
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: going through that process, UM, to really try to get

200
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: an engage in understanding of where he's been, what he's done,

201
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: when he's been asked to do, and why he's been

202
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: so successful in his career. So I've seen a lot

203
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: of I've seen everything he's done. UM, And I would

204
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: also say that, you know, you know, the right thing

205
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: to do, in my opinion, is to go into any

206
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: kind of a relationship like that with an open mind. UM.

207
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: I've learned as much as I've taught UM. You know

208
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: about him, what he's what he's been taught, the things

209
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: that that he understands and knows. It's really it's always

210
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: important for me to listen to a player, UM explain

211
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: their perspective on things. I've done that with many people

212
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: in the past, and um, it's it's really a you know,

213
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: it's a two way street when it comes to getting

214
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: to know one another, uh and getting ready to embark

215
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: on you know, playing together, coaching him him, playing for

216
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: for us, and all the rest of it. So um,

217
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't say I went into it with

218
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think he can do these things and

219
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: not those things. I don't. I don't usually do any

220
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: of that. I just kind of, um, you know, go

221
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: into it with an open mind, allow the players to

222
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: have opportunities to do a lot of different things, and

223
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: then try to evaluate what we're seeing as well as

224
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: talk to them and communicate constantly about you know, how

225
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: they feel about it. You know, you never want to

226
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: put a player in a position to do things that

227
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: they don't feel comfortable with. So, um, I think it's

228
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: been a great process. I'm continuing to learn every day,

229
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to continuing as we head into the regular

230
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: season here. Thanks Josh, yep. Next question Mike Giardi, followed

231
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: by Bob Socie. Morning, Josh, Morning, Mike. I wanted to

232
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: ask you you mentioned in the beginning of this the

233
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: conference call about the you know sort of getting to

234
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: know what Cam does well how much so on that

235
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: from how much and put this Cam have into the

236
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: into the game plan at night. I know coaches coaching,

237
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: players play, but how much influence does he have? I

238
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: think we've always you know, we've been open minded with that,

239
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: uh that that concept always. I mean, you know, if

240
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback doesn't feel comfortable with something, then generally we've

241
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: we don't we don't do it, you know. And um,

242
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: it's not his it's not his responsibility to come up

243
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: with the way we should approach each game. But certainly

244
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: if he feels a certain way about certain things good

245
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: or bad, um, then that information is very critical to

246
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: our to our preparation and what we want to ultimately

247
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: do on Sunday. So um, you know, I mean if

248
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: James White told me something like that, it would be

249
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: the same if Julian Edelman said, I mean, David Andrews.

250
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: A lot of guys have input in terms of the

251
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: way we ultimately want to tack the opponent and how

252
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: we want to do things given certain sets of circumstances

253
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: based on the down a distance, personnel groupings, etc. So, um,

254
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, I always want to listen to you know

255
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: what they have to say. It's our job to try

256
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: to come up with a plan that we feel like

257
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: they can be successful executing. And then you know, it's

258
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: it's always a work in progress as we head towards Sunday,

259
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we never really put an end

260
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: date on that. You know, we've been you know, we've

261
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: been taught and told to you know, make an adjustment

262
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: as quickly as it needs to be made. And if

263
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: there's something that needs to change the night before the game,

264
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: the morning of first quarter, whatever it is, that we're

265
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: going to try to do that. But certainly the input

266
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: of the players is critical to putting together the best

267
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: plan and ultimately having them go out there with confidence

268
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: and execute whatever it is we call. We're gonna go

269
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: and make that the last question. Thank you, Josh. We're

270
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: just trying to keep a schedule here. Thanks guys. Next
