1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: I think you've played on CD LAMB and where he

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: is on the protocol making progress. He's in the meetings,

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: so he'll probably get to the point where he might

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: be able to do some light field work today. Was

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: the thought this morning in the medical meeting, Terrence Smith

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: be pretty much limited in practice today or now he'll

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: be part of the practice. You know, it's not going

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: to be of we'll be in helmets today and kind

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: of a run through type practice, so he'll participate. Are

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: there rules for tight ends? Depends only when you guys

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: go get some that kind of carryover or Waller and

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: Kelsey just not guys that he can kind of confer

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, this worker didn't work with Kelsey, let's

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: try this with Waller. I'm so you said rules or

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: the rules that you guys kind for tight ends that

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: carry over week to week when you face top tight ends. Well,

17
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: I think you know anything, you always start with the

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: person personnel matchups. I mean that's the first thing that's

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: presented in the Offense and Defense and Special Teams meeting.

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's part of our team meeting. The

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: player profiles, So I mean you're always looking at the

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: characteristic skill set and how how they apply to you know,

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: how you build the game plan. So yeah, I think

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: there's definitely carry over. I mean if you look at

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: you know, the impact that you know Kelsey has on

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: the Kansas City offense and uh and it definitely carries

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: over this week. Absolutely. Let you see from well, I mean, yeah,

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: I think both ends are you know, definitely you know,

29
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: able to generate pressure and a four man rush. So

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a you know, a big primary focus

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: of you know, how their defense is played, you know,

32
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: the ability to it's a gap defense in the integrity

33
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: of the discipline of it. But they're definitely definitely um

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: high energy, you know, and and we're obviously cognizant in

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: our last game and uh, you know the production the

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City had with with their rush, you know, their

37
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: four man rush, so that primary focal point for us offensively.

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: Can you talk about from your quality pro guys, getting

39
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: has to start on planning program like this, but what

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: game has most in your game for her plan installation

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: on a heart pea, Well, I think you have to

42
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: be in tune with you know, the practice reps. I

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: think the the new wrinkles, you know, the scheme specific,

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: particularly situation specific situations. I mean you always uh, you know,

45
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: put things together situationally. I think we talked about this yestere.

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: I think you you know, it's always been my history.

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: You may carry a little more the week before because

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: you're looking because every week there are common concepts, are

49
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: similar schemes that are that are done situationally in the

50
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: offensive defense and even you know, in the coverage and

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: return aspects of special teams. So you know, anything you

52
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: can carry over, you look for those opportunities. But you know,

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: the really the biggest focus for us, you know, because

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: I feel like the coaches did an excellent job of

55
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: being ready for the you know, the scheme introduction, and

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: it tilts is you know, it's an uncommon opponent, you know,

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, we haven't played against the Raiders, and quite

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: sometimes there's you know a lot of players haven't played

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: against each other. So you know, our challenges to really

60
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: be on top of the video and have a clear

61
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: understanding of who they're playing, how they play. On Thursday,

62
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph be back, Well, yes, well he's got anyone

63
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: else to the COVID list. Nothing came out this morning.

64
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: What has changed in your COVID protocols for some of

65
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: the height attage with coded what's the last part? The

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: biggest thing is to mask I mean the you know,

67
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: the league protocols are effective I think starting Thursday. So

68
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: we've we've, we've we started yesterday. We just feel like

69
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: we should get in front of us and being on

70
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: a short week, and it just um want to get

71
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: a little head start. We're saying last week to check

72
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: back with you, but I mean, it's such a short

73
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: time to get ready here. But you want to acknow

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: Colledge what happened with Marcus Paul last year? So how

75
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: will you handle that this week? Definitely, we actually we

76
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: celebrated Marcus this morning in a team meeting, so I

77
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to talk to the team and I think,

78
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: you know, from my perspective, you know, we want to

79
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: make sure you know, his legacy carries on and it's

80
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: important to all of us. But you know, we have

81
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: eighty four players in the locker room, and you know

82
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: forty of the players were not here last year, so

83
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: I clearly just wanted I was talking more to the

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: new players, you know, just to understand who he was

85
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: and what He's meant to ask you have as players

86
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: get up and talk to the teammates too, Did you

87
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: do that today? And how I'll be honest with you, Uh,

88
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: it was. You know, I think that said those are

89
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: better questions for the players. You know, off let them

90
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: speak on it. We celebrate markets what about Marcus and

91
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: just the way he lived and the way his presence

92
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: was felt here was mostly celebrated. I mean, I think

93
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: when you when you look at Marcus, you know, as

94
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: far as his professional career, blessed his professional prayer. And

95
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: that's really going back to you know, speaking to the

96
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: men that we're not part of our program. Last year,

97
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, he was extremely successful, you know, player and

98
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: coach in this league. And as the stories are being

99
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: told and the memories are being shared, you know, football

100
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: never comes up. I mean the first thing when you

101
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: talk about Marcus Paul, you know, you talk about his faith,

102
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: you talk about his family, and you talk about his father.

103
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: That the presence that he had to the players. So

104
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: and I think that's really you know a big part

105
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: of our message. Um just you know, when you want

106
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: to celebrate somebody and he's you know, he's part of

107
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: the building blocks of our culture, and we talked about culture,

108
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: and that was part of my connection to him. I

109
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: didn't know Marcus. I only knew him, you know, frankly

110
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: less than a year. But during the interview process, you know,

111
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: the belief that he had and the players that were here,

112
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: you know that the focus on the locker room, keeping

113
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: about the development of the players. Uh, that was my

114
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: connection to him. And I felt that, you know, it's

115
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: not always about you know, how you do the strength

116
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: and conditioning, because obviously had an excellent program in place.

117
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: I was born about the person and he exemplified that

118
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: to the to the highest level. So and uh, you know,

119
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: and we just want to make sure our our our team,

120
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: particularly our locker room, has an understanding that he's you know,

121
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: he's part of the foundation and what we got going

122
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: on here. And I think he said this last year

123
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: to us. He he had a relationship with every guy,

124
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: made more so than other coaches just because of position coaches.

125
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: He can contact every single player in definitely, And and

126
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: I refer to you know, the strength and conditioning and

127
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: you know the trainers and equipment guys is and just

128
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: from my past and I say to us with a

129
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: with a big heart is you know, they're the bartenders

130
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: of our of our culture. I mean, it's and you know,

131
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: just from my personal experiences, you know, Um, those guys

132
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: interact with everybody. I mean, they know, they know the

133
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: situations that guys are going through. Um, you know, and

134
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: that's why it's important. And we're very fortunate to have

135
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: long tenure employees or in those positions that that have

136
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: that gift of connection and making sure these guys are

137
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: being supported at all times during the tough times in

138
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: the details of things that frankly sometimes never even get

139
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: to the head coach. And I think that's all part

140
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: of the trust and the culture and the structure of

141
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: what we're about and how we want to operate here.

142
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: And and if you look, for example, you know Marcus

143
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: Paul was that person I need to smile for that

144
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: thank you pictures doing a press conference. Thank you
