Speaker 1 (00:01):
Mike, how do you work through that with the non
contact for the quarterback? You know that, you know, any
other position you know tomorrow you would assume would be
in full contact.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
So how do you kind of gauge that?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I know you probably rely on the medical staff a
little bit, but it's an interesting situation.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah, it's mostly just leaning on the medical I mean,
the quarterbacks don't get hit Durm practice anyways, so you know,
they got to get creative in terms of getting that
getting that work in. But our medical staff does a
great job of organizing that for us.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
So, Mike, he's the term is he still in protocol
per se?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I mean right now he's just he's in a non
contact day. Sure, he's still in the protocol like in
that phasing of it, and so there the will will
continue to progress through it if he if he goes
through the right.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Forums here, we would you have to make a decision.
Buy well, it just depends on how each day goes.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Yeah, assuming it goes well, he he's trending towards being
able to play Sunday.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
If there's no setback, sits Yeah, that's that would be
that would be the fair plan for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You ripped those injury guys.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
You said those the three names you said there are
gonna be limited today. Yes, so then what about Caveon,
Slayton and a Devo?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Those guys were well need to work me look back
at the cheap prices. Thank you for the question. Cave
On is out. We will not participate today. Slay we'll
do some work on the side. And what was the
third name?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
A debo? A debo will not participate today?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Is there any concerns?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I know you had a couple of days here with
that that we actually other day that that's.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Long term at this point, so you I'm sorry, debo,
sorry that you might have to shut him down. Oh yeah,
I mean we're just gonna we're gonna progress through it.
You know, we'll see how he feels again tomorrow and
just kinda take it day by day with.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
What the debo.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Not anything they found like okay, we need to shut
it down or he needs a procedure or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, you know, he felt good going into the game,
and then just as he was talking with the medical staff,
you know, they they made the right decision to kind
of hold him out.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
The job for a week. What's been the biggest change
for you.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
The biggest change, I'd say, just you're you know, you're
open doors and open lines of communication with more of
the players, but you're you're exposed to them a little
bit more often the defensive side of the Special Teams unit,
and then the coordinators and coaches. You know, you're talking
with them a lot more, certainly a lot more medical
meetings and and things like that, roster meetings. Uh, but
those are those are all parts of you know, the
(02:18):
smaller kind of smaller parts that I was with as
the coordinator. But now you're just exposed to more of that.
So I'm learning, as you know, each day.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Learn a little bit more and more.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
And it's been a cool process to kind of see
it all gets builds together. And then going through a
game day process and the game day procedure, you know,
what areas can I improve on? What areas can I
be more beneficial and more of an asset for the group,
for the coaches, for our game management team, for the offense.
And so it's just that find that balance that I'm
working through right now. But I mean, I've got a
(02:47):
great support staff and they're they're they're helping me through
the way and and show me the ropes and give
me great advice. And so I'm just trying to take
it and roll with it.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Like what have the challenge has been in relation to
that to.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Not have the other stuff take away from your offense,
you know, your you know play calling, and put them
put the game plan.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
That's why, That's why I had a great, great staff
around me that can that can kind of next man
up and carry and continue to carry a torch for
the offensive group. Got great leadership with Shane, with t K,
with Gobs and those guys that are leading their rooms
and leading their groups, and I can come in and
and continue to be an asset form and help them
anywhere I possibly.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Can fascinate in line to play, Would Jamis be your
backup Sunday?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That would be the plan.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yes. So Mike, we talked about you personally, But what's
your focus for the team here in these final weeks
improvement growth wins? Like how would you summarize what you're
trying to accomplish?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Really just focused on today and today's the most important day.
Our first and second down game plan focused on, you know,
making sure that we're dialed in on our canes.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
As we're going to a large, loud environment.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
So you know, it's it's hard to look that far
ahead when we have a really really important day.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Today, Mike, what do you hope to see some Abdul
today and moving forward? I mean he obviously had a
public incident and embarrassment certainly, So what what what would
you hope to see from them?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, well, I'd say the first thing is, you know,
a duel. He's got my full support, and I'm you know,
we're all here for him, are the coaches, the players,
the leadership group. And it's really not I mean it's
not not really necessarily about a duel, but about everybody
in our in our unit and our team. They got
our support and we're here, we got we got their backs,
and so you know, I'd expect him to approach like
he does every day. Practices his tail off, he plays
(04:25):
his tail off. He's continuing to learn and grow as
a young player, and I'm proud of them for how
he's handled these things. It hasn't been an easy couple
of days, but I'm proud of them, and I think
he's earned a lot of respect in the in the
locker room, will continue to grow and be a great
teammate and learn from the things that he's done.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
With Hodgens coming in so late last week, could you
speak to that whole process and help you.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Know, Yeah, I have Yeah, No, I have a lot
of familiarity with with Isaiah. He's been in you know,
multiple training camps. He came in you know, our first
year and had a great year in terms of just
jumping into the role from some of the familiarity standpoint,
and I'm just really proud of how he steppedup in
for us. And againd of even a shorter kind of turnaround,
came in on a Thursday, off off the plane, onto
(05:06):
a practice, absorbed the installation in a third down day
with a bunch of passes, We're moving people around, We're
going no tempo, no huddle tempo on the football. It
was just really impressive to see him go out there
and execute, and then as coach grow was meeting with them,
as Troy Brown was meeting with him throughout the week,
then getting to the game day and watch him just
go execute and play and have fun and really play
(05:27):
without any kind of indecision. It was really cool to
seeing it.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Really impressive for for Isaiah's I.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Would say it's extremely hard and for a guy like Isaiah,
who's really smart.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
We know that about him. That's one of the reasons
why we brought him in.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
But it was just I was very impressed with how
he jumped in and even on that short notice. Mike,
obviously a lot of attention paid to the guys going
to WWE, specifically Cam.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Did you know they were going to be there, You
have any thoughts on just their Yeah, No, I knew.
I knew they were going to the event. It's, you know,
a rookie event.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
We have some team events that are that our supports
stats put together for the rookies to kind of get out,
and so I thought it was a cool thing.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I know, it was like a staged little brawl there.
It was great.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It was great to see you know, it was great
to see scatt On on the pregame, on the sideline,
his juice, his energy. You can feel it. I can
feel it through the TV and through my phone. I
was watching the clips. So it's a cool event for
those guys to kind of get out and be on.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
The community safety over there.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Given the ankle injury.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, I trust scatt and I trust our our our
medical department, our medical staff to take your great care.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'm sorry it was Jackson there.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I don't have the full list of everyone that was there.
It's kind of an open door. If you want to go,
you can go stage.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Really.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Yes, you talk a little about your offensive line, which
is obviously taking a lot of hits over the last
few years. It seems like there's appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, the continuity there has been tremendous with with our
with our veteran leadership, you know at and Jermaine, you
know GVR, JMS, John Runny and these are guys that
have played a lot of snaps together now and I
do a great job in the mean room. I spent
was heading out, continued to spend some time in the
old line room over the last few years and just
seeing these guys communicate, seeing these guys talk through their adjustments,
(07:06):
talk through their assignments, how they're going to attack a
certain you know, double team or a they're going to
attack a certain block, and it just really opens that
floodgate to a really great communication on game day. And
it's led by Karm and James and those guys like
they they want to bring that out of their players,
and they do, and you see it on the field
and shows up throughout the game, and it shows up
in the adjustments on the sideline and the communication with
a young quarterback. It's really impressive from that group. And
(07:29):
they're continuing to step up for.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Us, given how well that that line did play, how
much competence I gave you base and it's this line's
passwords with guys, they.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Hutcheon, Yeah, it's it's another challenge, and you know they
I thought they stepped up to last week, but that
was last week. This is a brand new challenge, a
brand new week, and so we got to have the
same mentality and the same work ethic, the same level
of detail that we had preparing for that to go
run again this week.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
If the medical people say that Jackson is ready to go,
will you say, will you embrace that and say let's go,
or would you rather be conservative at this point and
and give him another week?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
If if he's if he's healthy and clear to go,
then I'd like Jackson Dart to play. It's only if
he's healthy and ready to go. And that's, you know,
based on what the doctors have to say.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Because quarterbacks are always non contact anyway, even though Jackson
is non contact technically today, will you have him as
your first team quarterback in practice or will you have
James first?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You know, well, the reps and talking with Shay and
our quarterback coach, they have a great plan for how
well you know, kind of delivered the reps there. Whether
it's a lot or a little, you know, we've talked
about it, and so I think Jay has a good plan.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I'm happy about it.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
It's just it's another new thing for Jackson, you know,
in a season of new things. Is this going to
be difficult you think? I mean he missed a game.
He obviously had a percussion. You know, now he's got
to shake that off and come back and you know
after missing a week, and you know, is that going
to be difficult as a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I don't want to I don't want to speak for Jackson,
but he's he's a pretty smart pet player. He was
dialed into our game plans last week. I mean he's
been preparing like this, you know, even early in the
season when he wasn't the starter. So I wouldn't expect
anything different. We just had a great walk through with
him in the in the offense. So you know, I'm
excited for this practice and again continue that. Why we
practice is so we continue to get better. So the mistakes,
(09:12):
if they happened, that's great. We can get them cleaned up,
we know, get a fixed. We can you know, take
some positive out of that and continue to build. And so,
you know, whatever happens in the practice field, that's the
greatest challenge as a coach is okay, when the when
the things go wrong, or how do I adjust and
correct it and then get that information to the player
so that on game day they can just play fast
and decisive they might.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
I know this is maybe a little of an odd question,
but have you spoken to Davis at all since you've
taken over, whether it's for any advice or has he
Has he reached out to you?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, we've we've we've we've reached out to each other. Yes.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Has he been helpful in any ways?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I'm gonna I'm gonna keep him private. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously I'm not asking him,
but they're just kind of curious if he's you know,
offered any any assistance.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Just out of respect for Davis, I'm gonna. I'll keep
him private, the competiations private. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
With the thought process to how differently you start practices
where you have like the special teams out there and
then the other guys walk out and stretch separately, like.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Oh, you don't have a Friday practice. Yeah, yeah, I
took that. I took that from Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
It's just a way just to kind of break up
a little bit of flow of practice and start the
special teams unit. So when we get into the main
practice part of it, there's not kind of like a
bunch of breakups in between O and D and special teams.
So the special teams have like their own practice, you know,
they can really organize it, get all the looks they
need to, and then as we get into the od
part of it, it's kind of rapid fire on a
fast Friday and we're kind of getting point A to
(10:33):
point B and and getting some work done.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So just a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Flow, not that there's a right wrong way to do it,
just something that, you know, just a little mix it up.
I thought it would be cool for the guys.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
To go through it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Did you see the results that you were hoping for
by moving the film review to yesterday rather than having Monday,
giving the guys off.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What was the reaction.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I think that I think the players and coaches had
a good response to it. You know, as we keep
on going throughout throughout the week, I'm sure more and
more info will come back. But whatever that feedback is,
we'll continue to evaluate it and if we need to
make adjustments minor tweaks the times longer, shorter, whatever that
may look like. You know, we'll just continue to stay
on top of it.
Mike, how do you work through that with the non
contact for the quarterback? You know that, you know, any
other position you know tomorrow you would assume would be
in full contact.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
So how do you kind of gauge that?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I know you probably rely on the medical staff a
little bit, but it's an interesting situation.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah, it's mostly just leaning on the medical I mean,
the quarterbacks don't get hit Durm practice anyways, so you know,
they got to get creative in terms of getting that
getting that work in. But our medical staff does a
great job of organizing that for us.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
So, Mike, he's the term is he still in protocol
per se?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I mean right now he's just he's in a non
contact day. Sure, he's still in the protocol like in
that phasing of it, and so there the will will
continue to progress through it if he if he goes
through the right.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Forums here, we would you have to make a decision.
Buy well, it just depends on how each day goes.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Yeah, assuming it goes well, he he's trending towards being
able to play Sunday.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
If there's no setback, sits Yeah, that's that would be
that would be the fair plan for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You ripped those injury guys.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
You said those the three names you said there are
gonna be limited today. Yes, so then what about Caveon,
Slayton and a Devo?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Those guys were well need to work me look back
at the cheap prices. Thank you for the question. Cave
On is out. We will not participate today. Slay we'll
do some work on the side. And what was the
third name?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
A debo? A debo will not participate today?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Is there any concerns?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I know you had a couple of days here with
that that we actually other day that that's.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Long term at this point, so you I'm sorry, debo,
sorry that you might have to shut him down. Oh yeah,
I mean we're just gonna we're gonna progress through it.
You know, we'll see how he feels again tomorrow and
just kinda take it day by day with.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
What the debo.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Not anything they found like okay, we need to shut
it down or he needs a procedure or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, you know, he felt good going into the game,
and then just as he was talking with the medical staff,
you know, they they made the right decision to kind
of hold him out.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
The job for a week. What's been the biggest change
for you.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
The biggest change, I'd say, just you're you know, you're
open doors and open lines of communication with more of
the players, but you're you're exposed to them a little
bit more often the defensive side of the Special Teams unit,
and then the coordinators and coaches. You know, you're talking
with them a lot more, certainly a lot more medical
meetings and and things like that, roster meetings. Uh, but
those are those are all parts of you know, the
(02:18):
smaller kind of smaller parts that I was with as
the coordinator. But now you're just exposed to more of that.
So I'm learning, as you know, each day.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Learn a little bit more and more.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
And it's been a cool process to kind of see
it all gets builds together. And then going through a
game day process and the game day procedure, you know,
what areas can I improve on? What areas can I
be more beneficial and more of an asset for the group,
for the coaches, for our game management team, for the offense.
And so it's just that find that balance that I'm
working through right now. But I mean, I've got a
(02:47):
great support staff and they're they're they're helping me through
the way and and show me the ropes and give
me great advice. And so I'm just trying to take
it and roll with it.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Like what have the challenge has been in relation to
that to.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Not have the other stuff take away from your offense,
you know, your you know play calling, and put them
put the game plan.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
That's why, That's why I had a great, great staff
around me that can that can kind of next man
up and carry and continue to carry a torch for
the offensive group. Got great leadership with Shane, with t K,
with Gobs and those guys that are leading their rooms
and leading their groups, and I can come in and
and continue to be an asset form and help them
anywhere I possibly.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Can fascinate in line to play, Would Jamis be your
backup Sunday?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That would be the plan.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yes. So Mike, we talked about you personally, But what's
your focus for the team here in these final weeks
improvement growth wins? Like how would you summarize what you're
trying to accomplish?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Really just focused on today and today's the most important day.
Our first and second down game plan focused on, you know,
making sure that we're dialed in on our canes.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
As we're going to a large, loud environment.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
So you know, it's it's hard to look that far
ahead when we have a really really important day.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Today, Mike, what do you hope to see some Abdul
today and moving forward? I mean he obviously had a
public incident and embarrassment certainly, So what what what would
you hope to see from them?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, well, I'd say the first thing is, you know,
a duel. He's got my full support, and I'm you know,
we're all here for him, are the coaches, the players,
the leadership group. And it's really not I mean it's
not not really necessarily about a duel, but about everybody
in our in our unit and our team. They got
our support and we're here, we got we got their backs,
and so you know, I'd expect him to approach like
he does every day. Practices his tail off, he plays
(04:25):
his tail off. He's continuing to learn and grow as
a young player, and I'm proud of them for how
he's handled these things. It hasn't been an easy couple
of days, but I'm proud of them, and I think
he's earned a lot of respect in the in the
locker room, will continue to grow and be a great
teammate and learn from the things that he's done.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
With Hodgens coming in so late last week, could you
speak to that whole process and help you.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Know, Yeah, I have Yeah, No, I have a lot
of familiarity with with Isaiah. He's been in you know,
multiple training camps. He came in you know, our first
year and had a great year in terms of just
jumping into the role from some of the familiarity standpoint,
and I'm just really proud of how he steppedup in
for us. And againd of even a shorter kind of turnaround,
came in on a Thursday, off off the plane, onto
(05:06):
a practice, absorbed the installation in a third down day
with a bunch of passes, We're moving people around, We're
going no tempo, no huddle tempo on the football. It
was just really impressive to see him go out there
and execute, and then as coach grow was meeting with them,
as Troy Brown was meeting with him throughout the week,
then getting to the game day and watch him just
go execute and play and have fun and really play
(05:27):
without any kind of indecision. It was really cool to
seeing it.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Really impressive for for Isaiah's I.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Would say it's extremely hard and for a guy like Isaiah,
who's really smart.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
We know that about him. That's one of the reasons
why we brought him in.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
But it was just I was very impressed with how
he jumped in and even on that short notice. Mike,
obviously a lot of attention paid to the guys going
to WWE, specifically Cam.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Did you know they were going to be there, You
have any thoughts on just their Yeah, No, I knew.
I knew they were going to the event. It's, you know,
a rookie event.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
We have some team events that are that our supports
stats put together for the rookies to kind of get out,
and so I thought it was a cool thing.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I know, it was like a staged little brawl there.
It was great.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It was great to see you know, it was great
to see scatt On on the pregame, on the sideline,
his juice, his energy. You can feel it. I can
feel it through the TV and through my phone. I
was watching the clips. So it's a cool event for
those guys to kind of get out and be on.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
The community safety over there.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Given the ankle injury.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, I trust scatt and I trust our our our
medical department, our medical staff to take your great care.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'm sorry it was Jackson there.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I don't have the full list of everyone that was there.
It's kind of an open door. If you want to go,
you can go stage.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Really.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Yes, you talk a little about your offensive line, which
is obviously taking a lot of hits over the last
few years. It seems like there's appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, the continuity there has been tremendous with with our
with our veteran leadership, you know at and Jermaine, you
know GVR, JMS, John Runny and these are guys that
have played a lot of snaps together now and I
do a great job in the mean room. I spent
was heading out, continued to spend some time in the
old line room over the last few years and just
seeing these guys communicate, seeing these guys talk through their adjustments,
(07:06):
talk through their assignments, how they're going to attack a
certain you know, double team or a they're going to
attack a certain block, and it just really opens that
floodgate to a really great communication on game day. And
it's led by Karm and James and those guys like
they they want to bring that out of their players,
and they do, and you see it on the field
and shows up throughout the game, and it shows up
in the adjustments on the sideline and the communication with
a young quarterback. It's really impressive from that group. And
(07:29):
they're continuing to step up for.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Us, given how well that that line did play, how
much competence I gave you base and it's this line's
passwords with guys, they.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Hutcheon, Yeah, it's it's another challenge, and you know they
I thought they stepped up to last week, but that
was last week. This is a brand new challenge, a
brand new week, and so we got to have the
same mentality and the same work ethic, the same level
of detail that we had preparing for that to go
run again this week.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
If the medical people say that Jackson is ready to go,
will you say, will you embrace that and say let's go,
or would you rather be conservative at this point and
and give him another week?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
If if he's if he's healthy and clear to go,
then I'd like Jackson Dart to play. It's only if
he's healthy and ready to go. And that's, you know,
based on what the doctors have to say.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Because quarterbacks are always non contact anyway, even though Jackson
is non contact technically today, will you have him as
your first team quarterback in practice or will you have
James first?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You know, well, the reps and talking with Shay and
our quarterback coach, they have a great plan for how
well you know, kind of delivered the reps there. Whether
it's a lot or a little, you know, we've talked
about it, and so I think Jay has a good plan.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I'm happy about it.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
It's just it's another new thing for Jackson, you know,
in a season of new things. Is this going to
be difficult you think? I mean he missed a game.
He obviously had a percussion. You know, now he's got
to shake that off and come back and you know
after missing a week, and you know, is that going
to be difficult as a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I don't want to I don't want to speak for Jackson,
but he's he's a pretty smart pet player. He was
dialed into our game plans last week. I mean he's
been preparing like this, you know, even early in the
season when he wasn't the starter. So I wouldn't expect
anything different. We just had a great walk through with
him in the in the offense. So you know, I'm
excited for this practice and again continue that. Why we
practice is so we continue to get better. So the mistakes,
(09:12):
if they happened, that's great. We can get them cleaned up,
we know, get a fixed. We can you know, take
some positive out of that and continue to build. And so,
you know, whatever happens in the practice field, that's the
greatest challenge as a coach is okay, when the when
the things go wrong, or how do I adjust and
correct it and then get that information to the player
so that on game day they can just play fast
and decisive they might.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
I know this is maybe a little of an odd question,
but have you spoken to Davis at all since you've
taken over, whether it's for any advice or has he
Has he reached out to you?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, we've we've we've we've reached out to each other. Yes.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Has he been helpful in any ways?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I'm gonna I'm gonna keep him private. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously I'm not asking him,
but they're just kind of curious if he's you know,
offered any any assistance.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Just out of respect for Davis, I'm gonna. I'll keep
him private, the competiations private. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
With the thought process to how differently you start practices
where you have like the special teams out there and
then the other guys walk out and stretch separately, like.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Oh, you don't have a Friday practice. Yeah, yeah, I
took that. I took that from Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
It's just a way just to kind of break up
a little bit of flow of practice and start the
special teams unit. So when we get into the main
practice part of it, there's not kind of like a
bunch of breakups in between O and D and special teams.
So the special teams have like their own practice, you know,
they can really organize it, get all the looks they
need to, and then as we get into the od
part of it, it's kind of rapid fire on a
fast Friday and we're kind of getting point A to
(10:33):
point B and and getting some work done.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So just a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Flow, not that there's a right wrong way to do it,
just something that, you know, just a little mix it up.
I thought it would be cool for the guys.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
To go through it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Did you see the results that you were hoping for
by moving the film review to yesterday rather than having Monday,
giving the guys off.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What was the reaction.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I think that I think the players and coaches had
a good response to it. You know, as we keep
on going throughout throughout the week, I'm sure more and
more info will come back. But whatever that feedback is,
we'll continue to evaluate it and if we need to
make adjustments minor tweaks the times longer, shorter, whatever that
may look like. You know, we'll just continue to stay
on top of it.
