1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: I believe will The first day he's eligible to come

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: off the coverserve list is tomorrow. You correct me if

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: that's wrong, But um, I just want to seems very

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: update on where he stands in that process. You know,

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: I talked very briefly with Ronnie this morning just in

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: terms of the whole COVID uh, you know, situation with

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: not only him, but you know, the rest of the

8
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: team and protocols were following. I think you're about right

9
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: with that. I've got double check the exact dates. There's

10
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: still more steps once he gets back in the building though.

11
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: You can't just thrown right into practice field. We have

12
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: to make sure we do a number of tests with

13
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: him and make sure he's fit to go out there.

14
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: So you know, we'll make sure we take all the

15
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: steps and make sure it's in his best interest in

16
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: the best interes of the team before we put him

17
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: on the field. And has he been participating in meetings

18
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: virtually or how's that been working? Yeah? Yes, you know,

19
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: so a lot of number of our players, if they

20
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: haven't been in the building having known the virtual meetings

21
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 1: with the entire team. Yesterday as a virtual day both

22
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: for our install and our clean up on the tape

23
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: on the back end. You know, that's worked out really

24
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: well for us. I think the jump start we got

25
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: in spring really prepared us as a team for what

26
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: we're doing right now. I think we prepared our coaches for,

27
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, handling that medium for teaching. I think I

28
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: prepared our players for staying engage and how to be

29
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: interactive although being virtual in different locations. And you know, look,

30
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: I've really seen you know, good attention to detail and

31
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: good practice as a result of the days that we've

32
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: gone virtual. So you know, we're gonna talk through this

33
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: whole process. Obviously there's a spike nationally, there's a spike

34
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: throughout the league right now. We're gonna make sure that

35
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: we take every precaution to keep this team healthy and

36
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: on the field. So I wouldn't be too surprised it

37
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: sends up being somewhat of a regular occurrence, um, at

38
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: least as part of the week. You know, I wanna

39
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: talk through with the captains and kind of get their

40
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: opinion on it, see how they like it in terms

41
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: of players. Um, but I know his coaches, we've seen

42
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: some good responses from them. Hey, Shuy Leonard, Hey, Joe,

43
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: Sorry muted there Um related to COVID. How are you

44
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: guys traveling to Washington any differently than you would normally

45
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: going by train? By playing? How you doing it? So

46
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it on train? And what we've worked

47
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: out early in the year. We talked about this back

48
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: in the summer. Um. They've actually arranged to have the

49
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: train in the station early so that our you know,

50
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: crew can go in there and deep clean it and

51
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: sanitize it for our plays. Uh, We're then gonna ride

52
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: the train. The players are always assigned which bus are

53
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: gonna be on, and we try to stagger the personnel,

54
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's coaches or players, by positions, by groupings,

55
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: to make sure that we don't have, you know, example,

56
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: all the offensive line on one bus together. Something happens,

57
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: they'll go ahead and get picked. So we try to

58
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: stagger and spread out the personnel as it is. We'll

59
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: do the same thing with the train, so the players

60
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: will have a bus assignment and a train card assignment

61
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: when they go down to Washington. I'd say the biggest

62
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: thing with the train. Obviously in trains you can flip

63
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: the seats around, you can stay there, you can talk

64
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: hanging out, play cards. We've got to make those adjustments.

65
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Now going to Washington, we can't do that. It'll be

66
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: very much like riding on the bus. We're gonna have

67
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: to make sure we close off certain seating locations to

68
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: make sure we're spaced out. Um, you've got taken account

69
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: the tracers that we're wearing to make sure that we're

70
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: at six ft apart, as well as just spacing for

71
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: the health of everybody. So really, our trainers are gonna

72
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: handle that part of it of walking cart to cart

73
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: and making sure before we take off that uh, you

74
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: know everyone's in the right seating, we have the right spacing,

75
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: and that everyone's kind of fit to go down there.

76
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: But look, it's a three hour trip. Ultimately, you know,

77
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: it's nice people to take a train instead having to

78
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: get on a plane and wait to take off. It's

79
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: a pretty smooth traveling deal. We're looking forward to it.

80
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: You know, it helps us. You know, you can always

81
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: work on it. And part of the delay when you

82
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: want to work on the plane is you get on

83
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: the plane, there's the loading and unloading process to taking off.

84
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: Kind of asia on the train, you just jump on

85
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: pop the laptop open, start watching tape or players, watch

86
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: your iPads and get going pretty fast with it. Thanks.

87
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: Hey Joe, how's it going? Man? Good? Good good? Just

88
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: wanted to follow up one more thing on Golden Tape

89
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: from this week. I know that you said that any

90
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: punishment or discipline will be handled internally. Is there any

91
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: plan or any thought to not starting him Sunday or

92
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: sitting him for a series or a quarter? We still

93
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: have an entire day of practice to go through today,

94
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: so you know, I'll evaluate everything and make decisions on

95
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: the back end of today of what we're gonna do

96
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: going through the weekend. Let's take three more Ryan Laura

97
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: Jordan's Ryan Join and Alfred Morris questions. But I was

98
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: just a pop up on what Matt said. Is is

99
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: inactive upon commility for Golden or or not. I'm going

100
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: to discuss a lot of possibilities today after practice, okay?

101
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: And then Alfred Morris? What made him attractive to you guys, Joe?

102
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: Obviously running back is kind of a young man's game.

103
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: What made that attractive for you when you guys signed him?

104
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: And then how did you think he run? Those were

105
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: his first carried in like sixteen months. Well, I'll say

106
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: what I mean. When we brought him in for the tryout, Um,

107
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: I thought he moved well, you could see that. You know,

108
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: he hadn't been in a training camp, so there's always

109
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: a difference right there in terms of how guys moved.

110
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: But you could see he wasn't too far away from

111
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: being in. He called game shape. Um, we got him in.

112
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: He practiced very hard forces, very effective. He's got familiarity

113
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: with the offense from being down in Dallas with Jason,

114
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, previously, so I gave him kind of a

115
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, the learning curve in his favor. Um, But

116
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: he's practiced hard force when he gets opportunities and pleased

117
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: with how he's working. I'm pleased with how he's able

118
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: to perform and get in and give us some production.

119
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: Last week, Yeah, oh hey, Joe, I'm just going back

120
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: to golden tape for a second. Yesterday it looked like

121
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: it looked like he was practicing with the scout team.

122
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: Is that something that's going to continue today or how

123
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: do you plan to use one practice? Yeah, all of

124
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: our players play with the scout team at some point another.

125
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: We have limited numbers, so everyone rotates on through In

126
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: addition to that, we have practice squad players are working

127
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: with our ones as well, So with living the numbers

128
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: out there, we roll guys as much as possible, especially

129
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: on a day like a Thursday, which is a heavy

130
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: passing day for us. It's third down at some red

131
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: areas two minute, so we roll all of our skill

132
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: players through equally on both sides. Last one here, Jordan's hey, Joe,

133
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: you've talked to him about, you know, breaking up that's

134
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: going to four game stretches and you're kind of here

135
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: now in the second half of the season, so I'm curious,

136
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: what are you try and accomplish. What's what's your goal

137
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: of what you want to accomplish now in the second

138
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: half of the season or even this third quadrant. Yeah,

139
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: I just want improvement. I want to see you know,

140
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: better coaching, better playing, better execution and actually lead a

141
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: tangible results. But for me, it's always about evaluating the

142
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: team and seeing constant improvement across the board. You know,

143
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: the number one goal when you start the season is

144
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: being approved team week six team. You know, how good

145
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: a team can you be after that sixteenth game? How

146
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: much improvement can you make? You know? We know as

147
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: a team that most teams make a significant amount of

148
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: improvement between game one and game two. Uh, this year

149
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: was a little bit different in terms of what we

150
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: dealt with, you know, on the front end of training camp.

151
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: But I've seen our team make a lot of strides

152
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: going through the season. Please of that progress, but nothing

153
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: changed for the second half of the season, Jordan, I

154
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: want to see marked improven across the board from everyone,

155
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: myself included,
