 Yeah, coach, what would be some of the things you'll all be trying to get accomplished here at this stadium practice today? Yeah, it's a lot of things. Sorry about that, I know you all don't like it. So, there's a lot of what we're trying to accomplish to lead. A lot of these young guys, their first exposure down here in the stadium. You know, it's a continuum, it's a non-contact, it's a passing camp. There's a lot of things we're working on, trying to push some new things. Let these guys pipe through some mistakes. And we're just excited to be down here. Hey, coach, your third iteration of being down here was a little bit different for you for this third time? It's good. And my bias, depending on the best stadium in the league. So, when you come down here, that was obviously a huge charge of ours was to be better at home. We got a little bit better last year. So, we were 6-3, lost three games, kind of down at the wire. We got to continue to improve that. That's what it's about. We're going to create this home field advantage that everybody's going to do their part. And you can feel it at times. Last year, we expected to take another level, up another notch. And so, that's really it. Obviously, first year, we were pretty good on the road, not good here. And last year, we were better at home, and we weren't very good on the road. This year, our intent to be better at both, but certainly at home. We have to be. We talk about the home field advantage. How valuable is it to get the rookies, especially just exposed to the stadium? And what kind of advantage does that provide, you guys, just like moving forward? It's a huge advantage. We want to make it hard for other teams. We want to be comfortable in here. So, every organization has different setups. And most people don't practice in their home stadium every day. But the more familiar we are, just the spacing, the lighting. I mean, it may sound silly to some, but it matters to certain people, especially in the kicking game. We love it down here, especially being right in the city. So, we're excited any opportunity we get to come down here. I apologize. I'm ducking the lighting. I can't see you. Were you have an offense that's potentially as young as yours might be in terms of starters? How does that maybe change, not necessarily what you'll do, but your philosophy, your thought process in maybe coaching them or what you even do on the field? It's a good question. We're not going to baby people when they come in here. And I'm not saying that derogatory. You know, philosophically, we're going to make it really hard. We're going to see who can handle failure. And that's a big part of it. And it's harder ever. You know, I'll give JJ a lot of credit. There was something he said yesterday that was really true about playing through mistakes. You're going to have hard days. It's a national football league. You know, it's the best of the best. And if we want to push the limits, you've got to be okay with failure. You've got to be okay. We're working on a new route and the ball sails and somebody posts online and you get the tier one Twitter Warriors comment on it that are sitting, living life through their screen. It doesn't matter. So we got to be okay with that. You know, if you can't deal with that and don't have that perspective, this probably isn't a job for you. And so we put a lot on them because if we feel like we baby them, we're not getting them ready to play on Sunday. It's going to be really hard September 10th. And so for guys, the first time we got to get to train them the job they're going to do. And so we believe in that this is non-contact, but there's a lot of things we want to push the limits to and make it tough on them, especially mentally. It's about mental conditioning as well. So we're really excited. And that's why it matters the type of players we bring in here. And it's been a fun group to work with so far. When you guys were constructing this, was some of the youth offensively by design or was that just... It just... Certainly, I mean, when you invest in higher draft picks that way, right? Those guys are young. I don't know if they're young. In terms of rookies, they're young and age. Kyle, Drake, Bijan, all these guys are pretty young and age, too. So the money's going to go somewhere. We didn't have money, right? I mean, it's like, it's a pie. Where are you going to split it up? So where are you going to invest? Well, right now our offensive line is a little bit older. Chris is on a second contract, Caleb. Jake's obviously had a couple of deals. So that's what a lot of the money is. We've got a quarterback on a rookie deal. We've got a backup that's on a, you know, mid-level veteran deal, I guess, what we're going to call it. And then we've got some young receivers. We've got a lot of guys, you know, the deals we've made. They're pretty... And where it fits in the pie. We're happy as hell. We have Jono and Matt Collins. How we got them and where they fit. And it could go a hodgeback. You know, Scottie Miller. So like, money's got to go somewhere. And then a lot of it's on the veteran on the defense. And that's just the way it goes. So you have to plan for that. Be a year out, two years out. And, you know, that's going to change, right? Once you put a quarterback on that contract, that's going to allocate something from the old line or you're going to take it from somewhere. Coach, how beneficial has it been for your veterans to show up in the OTA process and what's successful today getting your guys out of their natural environment? Well, it's not whether they're here or not, you know. I said this last week, I think, I forget who asked me, D-Ladder Josh, but you're going to make the team in August. We obviously love having guys here. There's a couple guys today that will hold back. There's a guy, a couple that have some family things that came up because we did push the week back. Coming off more than a weekend. We actually won a day later than that because usually that Tuesday afternoon, one of the days, one of the worst OTAs have been in charge, have been around. Historically, people are getting a poison out from the weekend. So we kind of moved that back. And so we already work on Friday. It's nice to come out here on Friday. So we have a lot of guys here. Some guys were holding back, some of these other guys. But we have guys that we trust and we wouldn't sign them. Like, so, of course, you love having people here. We're coaches. We love that. Big picture, it doesn't matter. We mean what we say instead of what we mean. So like, it is voluntary. We have great attendance. But everybody has different routine. People are different parts of life. Like, Clayus is 50 years old. So he's got his own thing, right? And he's got grandkids. So he's going to come out and he's got his process. But I promise you, just like when he was here last week, he's in phenomenal shape. And he's going to get there because he's a pro's pro. CP, those guys, there's a trust factor. So that doesn't, you've got the right guys that doesn't bother you. The guys that are here, there's strategically what we want to work on. It's awesome. And we've had great attendance. Coach, you're talking about that infusion of experience over here. Hey, how are you doing? I'm having the lights right now. I can barely see you. The infusion of experience that you've had this season. Talk about what it allows you to do a little different during these OTAs and then going into camp. It may be the first two years. Yeah. I mean, whether, there's a lot of things, right? You know, philosophically, we're trying to adapt. We're not going to change our core values the way we want to play. We'll change schematically to fit our strength or where we think we, what we need to defend or the trends going on. You know, that you've got to be aware of that. And so we're excited about it. Certainly that's what we do. We do now. So we see, test our rules, what we philosophically, how we want to play going into training camp and as the season goes on. That experience helps. But when you have a lot of new players which are going to have every year, they need that communication. They need the gel. So the more exposure we have together, the better it is for us. Yeah, coach. How has Goldman been doing as he's been trying to, you know, come back out of retirement and so forth? Yeah. I mean, it's so different than a lot of players, you know, there's players that miss the 20 season. Guys, you know, they get an injury early in the season. There's a return to play plan that we've been in contact with Eddie. If we didn't trust Eddie, we wouldn't have kept him. We're excited, you know, but we got to make sure we're smart about that return to play. Like when you've missed that a lot of time, you can't go all of a sudden expect to play a hundred plays in the first practice of training camp. So there's a progression there, where, where, we're constantly looking at that D-led. No different than guys coming off an injury. You know, it would be a plan for TQ, Kyle, you know, we're trying to be smart. We know we're planning to play 20-21 games. So when you do that, we need to be ready to go peak in, you know, ready to roll September 10th and we need to be playing our best football at the end of the year. So that, so that goal is in mind. So with all our players, we have different plans. So, and we'll be smart with Eddie, but we're excited that he's still here. What has Ryan Nielsen been doing, or maybe what has he brought to the table that's laying kind of a different foundation for this defense than this time, maybe last year or the year before that? Different team, you know. It's like, we knew the plan and we knew we were going into 2023. We were going to attack this and add in certain spots on the defense. I think Dean every day has buyers more so retired and sees some of the moves we make, but Ryan's a phenomenal football coach and then the teaching that we're doing and Jerry Gray bringing it into the program and Dave Huxville, even Mike Gray that's doing a lot of our quality control. Fantastic young coach. And when you have the right climate environment, you're trying to problem solve and evolve and we have that as a staff. We know the big picture every day. We're trying to sit there, trying to win the narrative of the day. It's like, ooh, we got you. We're trying to make each other better and feel softly in the teaching progression and development and I've been very pleased so far. The defense of staff is doing a terrific job. When it comes to Kyle Pitches, where is he in the recovery process? I know you said training camp, but how is he progressing so far? I'm not putting a date on that. We didn't put a date on Mike's knee injuries, so everybody's different. We fully anticipate, hopefully nothing happens, training camp, but we fully anticipate everybody to be ready to go September 10th. So we'll be smart. The guys that are 10 plus year vets will have different plans, they may not be out there every day. It might, depending on them, but we feel pretty good about the health that Caleb Huntley is. It doesn't do me any good to tell you whether Caleb Huntley is ahead of schedule or behind schedule. I don't know what that means. There are five different opinions. They may give you the super, super conservative and somebody may give you aggressive one, but everybody's body's different, so I feel pretty good about where we're going to be when we need to line up and play September 10th.
