Happy to be here with my old teammate Mike Gravel head coach of the New England Patriots and

we just finished the first day of minicamp. How'd it go, bud?

Not bad. Not bad. Were you happy with the energy and the compete level off?

Yeah, I think it's going good. You know what I mean? You got to get to the red zone and again,

the defense has to take care of the offense. There no pads you can't really reroute anybody so again just trying to celebrate touchdowns it's how it's hard to get down there and again yeah you know

when you score we want the guys to celebrate but we got first second third down in we got some no huddle

so I think there's a lot in so far I think that we've thrown a lot at them and I think that they've

responded you uh the place one right after the other was is that important for you to So far, I think that we've thrown a lot at them, and I think that they've responded.

The place, run right after the other, is that important for you to just run a lot of plays and maybe the hardcore coaching comes in film later? Is that kind of a philosophy of years?

That's an intentional, I mean, again, we have a period where we just do that and we're on the

ball. But we don't want to spend a whole lot of time.

We want to practice the same way we play.

And I think that that's key in preparation.

So we don't have a whole lot of time in between plays, whether it's good or bad.

We have to get back.

We've got to get back to center.

And we've got to run the next play.

Figure out what the next situation is and then when we come off on the side, we'll try to

coach it up.

But I think that there certainly needs to be an urgency and a conditioning level to the

way that we practice.

Absolutely.
