1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: All right, Well, excited to be back out here. Players

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: had yesterday off, come out here and compete and honestly

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: get ready for the Eagles.

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: Well, we need to The decision.

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: You know, it was, it was a decision between Elliott

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: and myself really to give the younger guys an opportunity

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: to go out there and you know, get more reps

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: and show what they could do.

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: Specific to his health, uh, I know, he dealt with

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: kne injury coming in the last season, seemed to have

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: a lot of his explosions. That's something that you just

12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: felt like wasn't going to get better here.

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: Uh, I mean, that's part of it. At the same time,

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: we just want him to get healthy. He still has

15
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: some good ball left in them and I wish him

16
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: nothing but the best.

17
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: Now you've had some time, what do you take.

18
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: From that first one into this week in practice?

19
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, now that you have the time to watch

20
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 4: it and everything else, what did you take from that

21
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 4: first preseason game into this week that you.

22
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: Want to Yeah, the first game was really at least

23
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: for me, obviously you want to go out there and

24
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: coach the game, but also just see operationally how everything

25
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: was working, whether it's the communication from the booth downstairs

26
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: or from coach to coach. Those are definitely things that

27
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: you know, I just wanted to see for myself a

28
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: couple of things that iron out there. From a football perspective,

29
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: I thought those guys went out there and played hard.

30
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: They flew around. Once again, it doesn't matter who's out

31
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: there's about the quality of the reps. And this week

32
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: we'll have starters playing a lot.

33
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: More considering he didn't play much the other night. How

34
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: big of a week is this for Drake and practice

35
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: with the joint practice.

36
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, for all the quarterbacks. It's a huge week for

37
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: those guys that really show development. Drake will play more

38
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: this week for sure. But don't don't forget. You know,

39
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: anytime you practice against a team like you'll, they'll get

40
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: a lot of good reps against someone else, and based

41
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: on that, we'll see how we're you know, how we're

42
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: play in the game. That's all positions up.

43
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 5: Now that you've had a chance to get back and

44
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 5: watch the film, what did you see from Joe Milton

45
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 5: kind of seeing it a second time?

46
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, just you know, watching Joe, you know,

47
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: run around and that athleticism is always a welcome site

48
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: and saying that there's still things for him to work on.

49
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: One thing would be ball security. You know, I know

50
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: it looked cool, but you know it's always a dangerous

51
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: thanks winging the ball around like that, But this is

52
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: a guy who's working hard every single day and getting better.

53
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: Kind of building out the answer question a little bit,

54
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: how do you inticipate maybe the energy, the intensity the

55
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: work kind of changes this week as you get closer

56
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: to REGOs.

57
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know this week we all well, first of all,

58
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: in practice we're gonna be wearing the same color, and

59
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: I think it's it's good to bring, you know, to

60
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: have joint practices to break up the monotony of the week.

61
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: Are sorry of training camp, but hopefully you continue to

62
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: see the team jail together and guys taking a step forward.

63
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 4: Last week, there's a lot of reporting and stuff about

64
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 4: the Brandon and I you've I ask you about him specifically,

65
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: but there is this sort of notion that maybe certain

66
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: players don't want to come to it, or New England

67
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 4: is no longer a destination And as a former player

68
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 4: head coach one, how difficult is that? But too does

69
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 4: it also sort of speaks to what you guys have

70
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: to feel to you when it comes to the unfield

71
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: product of just making maybe more you know.

72
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: Appeel a. Look, well, we're always trying to get better.

73
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: I think I still in San fran right now, and

74
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: some other teams. He didn't go to some other teams

75
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: as well. What I will say is, look, when we

76
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: start to win games, guys will want to come here.

77
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: When we start to establish the culture, establish the roster,

78
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: I think guys, we'll be excited to come back.

79
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: Thinking about my first game.

80
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 6: Is a head coach for you, when you went back

81
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 6: through it, maybe with Evan or however you do a

82
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 6: game management wise, what did you learn?

83
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: It was great. Look, it was the first time I

84
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: had four channels on my on my headset right, and

85
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: so Evan and I have a dedicated line and and

86
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: we we talked through the talk through things during the

87
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: game that you know, we'll come up during the regular season.

88
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: We didn't necessarily approach those situations that way, but it

89
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: was good. The communication was good between the special teams coaches,

90
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: the offense and defense.

91
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 6: So just to follow on that, that one play at

92
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 6: the late second quarter before the two minute warning, is

93
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 6: that an example of one where you would hurry up

94
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 6: to the line, and yes, decided not to.

95
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, And there are certain situations in these

96
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: preseason games where you know, sometimes you're like, well, let's

97
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: just run our two minute drill, even though there's six

98
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: minutes left. So you're trying to do different things and

99
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: against different teams and just see how it kind of

100
00:03:59,560 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: works out.

101
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: Surprise you with that kind of belong what went on in.

102
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: The game on the whole day, anything surprised you, or

103
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 4: maybe easier than you thought, harder than your thought.

104
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: Or just kind of managing your time.

105
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: No, honestly, I felt I felt like I was in

106
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: my element and I said this after the game, where

107
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: I didn't have to really worry about substitutions and things

108
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: like that. It was it was more of a holistic approach,

109
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: and I mean I enjoyed it.

110
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 2: Men, four channels, Evan's got one for the other three off.

111
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, but you know the special teams coaches

112
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: in the past didn't have headsets here, and so now

113
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: they do have headsets because I think it's important that

114
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: we're all tied in. That's just my philosophy.

115
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 3: Thought later on the sideline, and looked like he was

116
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: on a headset and also talking to guys. Is he

117
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: going to be an important conduit.

118
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: For the players in the coach one hundred percent. I

119
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: think it's important for him to have a headset, and

120
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: he's been helping with the special teams as well. Remember

121
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: his role as like this umbrella role, whether it's advisor

122
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: or coach, whatever you want to call him, but he's

123
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: always there to help and I think he did a

124
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: good job.

125
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: And Dick get some work for backup centers. Yeah, David,

126
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: how would you assess that group behind the starter?

127
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: Yes, it's a work in progress. You know, David's been

128
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: doing it for a very long time and some of

129
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: these other guys they just haven't done it. They played

130
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: more of a guard role. But look, they're getting better

131
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: at it. The coach is doing a good job spending

132
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: that extra time working on snapping, and you always want

133
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: to have someone else on the you know, one or

134
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: maybe even two extra guys that know how to snap

135
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: the ball.

136
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Farms played the offense in a couple of years

137
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: in the past. What kind of look did he give

138
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: your defense when he was doing that? And what does

139
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: he say?

140
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: Terrible look? He's not an offensive lineman. But what I

141
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: will say about Farms is, you know, he's, uh, you know,

142
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: the more you can do type of person. He's always

143
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: trying to help, no matter what you ask him to do.

144
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: He just loves football, whether it's playing offense, defensive line,

145
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: on the practice stay like whatever it is. Uh, this

146
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: guy's gonna give you one hundred percent. So I appreciate him.

147
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 6: What did Leyden Robinson show you in the film review that.

148
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: We still have a long way to go? Uh, those

149
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: young linemen was their first opportunity, and we're looking for

150
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: the growth. You know, whoever we're talking about, we're looking

151
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: for that grow from week one to week two.

152
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: He's a guy that obviously played more right guard in college,

153
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: playing more left last few days, I would say game

154
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: in practice, you're getting more confidence that he might be

155
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: able to do that.

156
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I do think those guys will be

157
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: good players. I think Laden's going to be a good

158
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: player for sure. And once again, the more you can

159
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: do it, it's it's good. Now this week against the Eagles,

160
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: they got some big guys in there, so it's going

161
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: to be a huge test. Form on the.

162
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 5: Sideline a lot kind of helping coach some players during

163
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 5: the team after everything has kind of happened over the

164
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 5: last k or two. What was it like to see

165
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 5: that from him during the game.

166
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: Well, to me, it's not everything that happened over the

167
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: last week or two. It's one day and I think

168
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: we all, you know, have a bad day every once

169
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: in a while. But he was dialed in. He was

170
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: excited for the players, and he was coaching them up

171
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: with one sideline.

172
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: No complaints for me, guys, hopeless, Kendrick.

173
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: Those guys are progressing some faster than others, but when

174
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: they're ready to get out there on the field, they'll

175
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: be there.

176
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: Those are relationship with things times to make the decision

177
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: on what you guys want to watch. That's the way

178
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: of bit P the preseason game.

179
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, our relationship has been great. Look, he is

180
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: the head coach of the offense, and you know, once again,

181
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: we meet about these things all the time and sometimes

182
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: things change and you know, you know, people want to say,

183
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: why didn't Drake play this much or that much? We

184
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: had a plan and we have a plan for this

185
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: week as well.

186
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: You feel.

187
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: You yeah, for the most part, you know, you know,

188
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: when I watch other teams, I may give him some ideas,

189
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: and look, I may not necessarily know all the lingo,

190
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: but look, we need to get the ball in this space.

191
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: We want to run the ball. This week, He's opened

192
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: all that stuff and we're in the same page.

193
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: To go back to management stuff for a second.

194
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: I'm just taking a big picture.

195
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: How would you decide when to go for it and

196
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: fourth down? This season? Is that Evans saying? Analytics say go,

197
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: go go.

198
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Look, Evan does a good job with all that stuff,

199
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: but ultimately it's my decision. In every game, it's his

200
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: own game. So that's how I would approach it.

201
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: Final questions mentioned Matthew Junon just I know you've spoken

202
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: about being in a good place with the relationship as

203
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: far as the off field contract negotiations go. Do you

204
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: feel like that's also any good place right now?

205
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: I would say so. I mean, look, he understands he's

206
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: under contract and we expect him to be out here

207
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: at practice and when it's time for him to play,

208
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: to go out there and play the game.

209
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: But Darien Loow's gotten a water run with the top

210
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: offense more than what you've seen from him, both on

211
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: the field and.

212
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: In the preseason.

213
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, this is one of the quietest

214
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: offensive linemen I've ever been around, But this guy goes

215
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: out there every single day and improves. He has great athleticism,

216
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: great length, and look forward to seeing them against you,

217
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: a better competition. Yeah, we're talking about you. First question,

218
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: you got caught in traffic, Sunday traffic. Thanks guys,
