Speaker 1: kind of pick up where we left off at the

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: end of the spring. UM be a very similar structure

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: to that where we were in vetteran mini camp with

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: in terms of the UM practice opportunity, meeting time and

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: so forth. UM. But that that's all part of the

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: build up for training camp which UM had a practice

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: will begin the following week. So UM. Yeah, good to

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: get going. Good to get started, Like I said, build

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,319
Speaker 1: on the spring and a long way to go. Let's

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: take it one step at a time, and I'll just

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: try to continue to improve every every opportunity we get,

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: and certainly every day we'll open up with questions. We'll

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: start with Mike breeze fall righting and do kill good morning, Bill.

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: On what if the rookies accomplished since reporting? I think

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: it was back on July nineteenth. Well, hopefully all the

25
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: players that have been here have been able to get

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: into a routine to work on some fundamentals and again

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: most importantly, established a training routine. Go back over terminology

28
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: and some of the things that they're less familiar with.

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: Try to get him as ready as we can for

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: when we start. And one follow up on that group,

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm Marcus Jones. I think in the spring he might

32
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: have still been working back from something from college. Is

33
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: he ready to go full go at this point? Yeah, exactly,

34
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: next question and you count him and fall back this

35
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: running think. Good morning Bill. How is your stard Oh? Good? Great?

36
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: How about yours? Yeah? I went very well, Thank you.

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: Um So, I wanted to ask you. You know, you

38
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: mentioned kind of an extension of mini camp here. You

39
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: discussed in the past the purpose of that more installation

40
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: is opposed to evaluation. Is that going to be true

41
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: these first full practices before you get the bats on

42
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: the focus more and you know, prepping in its dolling

43
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: versus evaluating for the death. Yeah, absolutely, that's um yeah,

44
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it'll be, you know, continue to install

45
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: things that we didn't get to in the spring and

46
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: try to have everybody ready to go when we are

47
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: able to start pad of practices and preseason games, work

48
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: against other teams and so forth as we building a

49
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: training camp. So this is you know, it's really four

50
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: days of five days, however you want to look out

51
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: of kind of a ramp up period, um, and that's

52
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: will be a lot of teaching, um, you know, working

53
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: out some you know, iron out some wrinkles here, working

54
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: out a few canks, and then um then you know,

55
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: be ready to compete and practice and play, you know

56
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: as we move into the next that stage. But we're

57
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: definitely not there yet this week. And I know you

58
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: mentioned in the past this isn't the exact boarding, but

59
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: just kind of building the offense around the quarterback tailer

60
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: to his strengths, whoever the quarterback is to that end,

61
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: because you would fall both streamlined offense. How much input

62
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: does mac Jones have of what this new offense will

63
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: look like? Is you you build it and wrap it

64
00:03:51,320 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: around Yeah, well certainly he'll he'll have input. Expression Chris

65
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Morner, Bill, how are you good? Chris kind of

66
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: building upon the Andrew's question there obviously you reference that

67
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: this UM first board days here's more about installation and teaching.

68
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: But even from within that, I mean, what are you

69
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: looking U looking to players in this particular you know

70
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: environment where you are installing things in terms of their

71
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: kind of attentiveness and do you evaluate guys based upon

72
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: your type of questions they ask and how they go

73
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: about UM their business in this stage, Well, there's there's

74
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: always a element of all of us working together, players,

75
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: coaches working with each other, cross and working together and

76
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: crossovers UM and you know, getting the entire organization, all

77
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: the support staff UM in coordination and they've done a

78
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: great job. But still we're starting a new st age

79
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: here from moving into off season to end season, and

80
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: so there's there's just differences and we need to all

81
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: build into that. We all have a job to do

82
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: and we all have things that we need to accomplished

83
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: during the season and prepare to accomplish during the season,

84
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: and so this is part of it for all of us.

85
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: It's coming together with you know x's and o's players,

86
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: routine UM communication internally on getting things done and so forth.

87
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: As as we have changes which you know, we have

88
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: them on on a daily basis and have a lot

89
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: of them. So for the players again, it's you know,

90
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: refamiliarization with terminology techniques, you know, communication adjustments, things that

91
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: we talked about in the spring, and and some things

92
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: that we didn't talk about in the spring. But you know,

93
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect everybody to remember every single thing that

94
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: we did, you know, two months ago, or a month

95
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: and a half ago, whatever it was. Um, we all

96
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: need a refresher, you know, we all need to work

97
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: ourselves into and to the position that we need to

98
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: be into to compete and to perform well, you know

99
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, and certainly none of us

100
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: are there yet, no coaches, no players, nobody. We all

101
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do. So the training

102
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: camps for do you lean on Chris Chris Jents the

103
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: next one, next question or Lark Daniels followed by Joe

104
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: Ko Thanks Stacy, A good morning, Bill, um with with

105
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: Joe Judge and Matt Patricia. Um, how do you feel

106
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: that they did this spring in their respected new roles

107
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: and at what point this summer do you want to

108
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: make it clear who is it calling plays for your office? Yeah,

109
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: I think I said many times, I think Matt and

110
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: Joe are are two outstanding coaches in every sense of

111
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: the word. Whatever those duties entail, they're They're very good,

112
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: exceptional at the entire gamut. So I'm glad we have

113
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: both of them. They do a good job. And is

114
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: there is there a point this summer we want to

115
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: make it clear to your players or who was gone

116
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: blizz about him? Yeah. Look, I'm the head coach. Ultimately,

117
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm responsible for anything. So let's just leave it at that.

118
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: That's what it is. Thank you. Next question, Joe Koe,

119
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: Good morning, Bill, How are you? Oh good, Joe? How's

120
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: it going good? Good? Just talking about the progression from

121
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: year one to year or two for any player, but

122
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: especially with Mack. What have you seen it through him

123
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: through the off season? How important has that first off

124
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: season been for him to maybe change things around with

125
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: his how he gets ready for the season because he

126
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: knows what do we expect come this season? Yeah? I

127
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: think Max's done a great jobs. He's worked extremely hard,

128
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: He's got a tremendous work ethic and uh in all areas, Um,

129
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's a dramatic improvement. Um. His

130
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, his physical work and conditioning, UM, working on

131
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: his mechanics, working on his footwork, working on him he's

132
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: understanding of our offense of opponent, defenses, of situations. Um,

133
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: all those things we've talked about, All those things in

134
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: varying degrees, some more emphasis than others, and the emphasis

135
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: on maybe some other things will come later on. We

136
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: can't do it all at once. But yeah, he's worked hard,

137
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: He's made tremendous strides and and UM, you know, we

138
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: did a great job last year. But he's starting from

139
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: a much much higher point this year than than where

140
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: he started last year. So UM, you know, his his

141
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: offseason work has been significant, and I think everyone recognizes, um,

142
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, how how well he prepares, um, and how

143
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: much further along he was than than he was a

144
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: year ago. Next question, un still fellow Kevin still Bill Hey, UM,

145
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: similar question. But in terms of Tree Nixon, what have

146
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: you seen from him from year one to year or two?

147
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: Here he made a couple of plays in the spring. Yeah,

148
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: Paris work very hard too, Um, one of the hardest

149
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: working kids we have on our team. UM. Had a

150
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: good spring, had had a productive spring. Again, is same

151
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: things you've said about Max way ahead of where he

152
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: was last year in terms of his physical strength, speed, quickness,

153
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: route technique, understanding of the offense, defense, so forth, and

154
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: so um. You know, hopefully he'll continue to make those

155
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: make progress as we transfer that into competitive on field situations.

156
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: But he certainly prepared himself as well as he can

157
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: to do that, and and you know he'll be in

158
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: a good competitive situation. Next question, Kevin Stone, So we've

159
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: been bold. Hey coach, how you doing good? Kevin? How's

160
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: it going good? Thank you? So today actually marks the

161
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: twentieth anniversary of you guys last reporting to Briant. It

162
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: was July twenty sixth about two. I'm curious if there's

163
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: anything that you miss in particular about those style of

164
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: camps and also how much easier was it back then

165
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: to kind of get a read on your team to

166
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: mental toughness coming out of such difficult camps kind of

167
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: compared to now. All right, well, Kevin, we can talk

168
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: about that for hours. There are differences now from twenty

169
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: years ago in football, just like there isn't everything else,

170
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: But I'm not really focused on that. Whatever it is,

171
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: it is, and all thirty the other thirty one teams

172
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: are doing the same thing. So um, we're like we

173
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: always do. We'll try to take advantage of the time

174
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: and the opportunities that we have, make the most of them, uh,

175
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: and get the team ready to go. And that's what

176
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: the other thirty one teams are doing. And so that's

177
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: you know, that's what it is. So whatever it was

178
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: or wasn't in the past and all that is. Um,

179
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: there's certainly a lot of differences. I'm not gonna, um,

180
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, say that it's the same, but that's you know,

181
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: it's nothing. It is the same as it was twenty

182
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: years ago. So we all we all move on and adjust.

183
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: Thank you here, you're welcome. Next question Ben from early

184
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: morning Bille. Danny Avandola announced his retirement last night. Just

185
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: curious if you have any thoughts on his time here

186
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: or in New England and what he meant to the team.

187
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: Um yeah, um, thank you. I didn't I didn't see that,

188
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: but yeah, I love Danny. Um, you know, he he

189
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: was a very good player for us, had a lot

190
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: of a lot of skill. Um, you know, mostly played

191
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: inside buck a play outside, you know, could return, very smart, tough, dependable,

192
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: great hands, concentrations, a good football player. UM, yeah, glad,

193
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: glad we had him here, and he certainly was a

194
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: was a big contributor for us. You know, while he

195
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: was here for the most part. I mean he missed

196
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: a little time, but you know, he was out there

197
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: every chance he could be. He was tough, and he

198
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: was He's a good football player, and he always seemed

199
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: to have a knack for coming up with a big

200
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: play and in crunch time for you guys. Very dependable, Yeah,

201
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: very dependable, and he was tough, he blocked Um. You know,

202
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: we've been very fortunate to have some some good players

203
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: at that position. Um. You know, Troy was as good

204
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: as it could be. And you think you're always gonna

205
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: go you know, hard to match Troy and and and

206
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: it is hard to match Troy. It's really impossible. But

207
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, West did a great job for us. Danny

208
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: came in, Um, you know, Julian Jacoby. You know, guys

209
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: that have played in that spot have been UM different,

210
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: but they've all been productive and and they've all brought

211
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: some of the same common UM characteristics. UM, you know

212
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: to the inside receiver position, and it's been a very

213
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: productive spot for us. You know, through the years, through

214
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: a lot of different types of plays, quarterbacks, play calls, defenses. Um,

215
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, we've been very, very fortunate with the players

216
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: that we've had here, but Danny certainly is you know,

217
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: ranks high in that group. Thanks there, you alcome well, Kin,

218
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: I'll ask no follow up questions on these final three

219
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: year I'm gonna try to get three final questions and

220
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: Nicole Malin, christ Mason, Tyler Bronsky, Hey, Bill, you mentioned

221
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: that you refer to the strides that Mac Jones has

222
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: made us since coming in last year as a rookie.

223
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: What sort of differences are there as a team getting

224
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: ready to installation in preparing the offense when you have

225
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: a clear picture of Okay, Max's going to be the guy,

226
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: as opposed to last year where there is still a

227
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: lot of uncertainty about Can versus Mac and Mac for

228
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: the long term. Well, we're just we're just a lot

229
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: further ahead in the conversation. I mean the plays that

230
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: we talk about or concepts that we talk about. You know,

231
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: Max's already done before and you know it's easy for

232
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: him to say, well, you know, are we going to

233
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: do this on that? Are we going to do this

234
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: on something else? Um, you know, what do you think

235
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: about splitting them a little bit wider, split a little

236
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: bit tighter, you know, suggestions like that. You know, I

237
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: mean that that type of thing comes up all the time.

238
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: Now it comes up with the background of the experience

239
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: of doing it. I mean, he might add some of

240
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: the same questions last year, but without really you know,

241
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: having the full knowledge that he has this year. And

242
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: so I mean he's just it's just a lot further

243
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: along in the conversation and you know, we have a

244
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: much better feel for what he can do. Um. You

245
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: know what his strengths are and how to try to

246
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: play into those. And you know, he's self aware too.

247
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: He knows what he does well and and so we

248
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: want to try to feature those. But there are also

249
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: things that we can work on to improve. We all

250
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: can make improvements in areas, um, And so we've identisi

251
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: fied some of those. He's worked very hard at him

252
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully, um, those will you know be better.

253
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure they will because he's he's put the time

254
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: and work into it. But you know, that's it's it's

255
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: just it's not really different, it's just much further advanced.

256
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: That's all. And I'm not saying we're there yet. I

257
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: mean that that's I'm definitely not saying that we're nowhere

258
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: close to being you know, where we want to be

259
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: or where we need to be, but we're definitely making

260
00:15:54,760 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: progress here. You're welcome. Final questions Chris Mason and Tyler Bronsky,

261
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: and I'll ask them me to stay in the line.

262
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: After coach signs off, we'll just go over some logistics

263
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: for the next couple of days. Go a head, Chris. Hi, Chris, So,

264
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: your coaching staff was made official earlier this month and

265
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: you have no offensive coordinator or defense coordinator listed. I'm

266
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: just wondering what are the benefits of taking that approach

267
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: with your staff. We're not really big on titles and

268
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: all that, so I think everybody you know, it's important

269
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: we all work together and create a good final product.

270
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: So that's what we're gonna try to do, and so

271
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: we've always done. Thanks the last last question, Tyler Bronsky, Bill,

272
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: I was wondering for a guy like John new Smith,

273
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: what's the feedback you give him after year one in

274
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: hopes of how he improves in year two. Well, all

275
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: the players that you know we're with us a year

276
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: ago or any previous year. It's it's really you know,

277
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: all the same. It's the same for all of us.

278
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: You know, you look back at what what you did, UM,

279
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: emphasize the positive things. UM, look at what the weaknesses are,

280
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: work on those. We all have things we can work on, UM,

281
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: and there's some things that we all did well. So

282
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: you try to do the things that you did well,

283
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: work on your the areas that you want to improve on,

284
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, take some kind of action to address those

285
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: UM and then see positive results. And so those could

286
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, for any player, those could come into number

287
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: of areas. They could be you know, physical development, they

288
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 1: could be you know, technique, they could be you know

289
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: understanding or you know more you know a better you

290
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: know better understanding of the concepts or the you know,

291
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: how plays fit together and why they're done a certain women.

292
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: That's all part of it. So, you know, any player

293
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 1: that we've worked with, we we always talk to him

294
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: about what what was good and what can be better

295
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: and how to make it better. Players that are new

296
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: to the team, we don't have as much experience with them.

297
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: We try to do the same thing, but we just

298
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: don't have as much and as much information to work with.

299
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: We tell them the same things. Here's the things you

300
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: did well in college or with some other NFL team

301
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Here's you know, this is kind

302
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: of the role that we see you generally working in,

303
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: knowing that there's always room to modify that. Um, here's

304
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: the things that maybe you haven't done that we're going

305
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: to ask you to do that you need to work on.

306
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: Or maybe he has done them before, we just haven't

307
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: seen him. Maybe it was you know, in a different

308
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: somewhere on some other team or in some other place

309
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: that he did those and he's like, oh, yeah, I

310
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: haven't done that the last couple of years, but I

311
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: did it before and then we talk about that, or

312
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: maybe he says they I've never done that before, and

313
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: you know what I need to do to work on it.

314
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: So it's it's the same general versation for every single player.

315
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: The specifics of it are all different because it really

316
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: depends on the player and what his what we're asking

317
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: him to do, and what he needs to do to

318
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, to perform well at his position. We don't

319
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: want him working on stuff that isn't going to matter,

320
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: and you know, we want to try to identify what

321
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, what players should do, and then if they

322
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: do it, you know, I'm sure we'll see improvement from them,

323
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: which will in turn improve the team. So all right,

324
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: thank you,
