Welcome back to our in season podcast from the podium where we feature all of the daily press conferences from before and after practice.

Well, it's rolled into one podcast for you. I'm Jason Gibbs on today's show. We'll hear from head coach Kevin Stefansky safety.

Juan Forne Hill, Pro Bowl guard, Wyatt Teller and defensive tackle, Dalvin Tomlinson. First up, it's head coach Kevin Stefansky talking to the media before day six of practice here at the Green Briar in West Virginia.

The first day the team puts the pads on. Okay, far away, guys.

Do you view this day with pads as kind of an acclimation bird or do you want to see some hitting up?

No, I think really this whole first part of training camp for us prior to the Hall of Fame game. That's all acclimations. So with the pads going on, what we're going to do today is really focus on technique.

As you know, Tony, sometimes the pads go on and technique goes out the window. So we're going to spend a ton of time and individual today.

I'm really tomorrow will have what will look like a, you know, offense versus defense padded practice more so tomorrow.

Today's a shorter workout in time, but heavy emphasis on individual and high intensity. Kevin, Jacob and Mike early will love practice.

Yesterday, any of the I think Jacob should be back. I think Mike Mike Mike may be held out, but we'll see.

What was the issue with you? Jacob just a little bit of the reaction of the heat and Mike possible ahead and drink.

Is that an acclimation process? Yeah. How much have you been in the city of England lately? How much have you been in the sport time?

I think it's a combination of both Tony. I think it's really we're fortunate with the Hall of Fame game.

We get to acclimate like this. So with number one, we have extra days to be able to do that.

But number two, yeah, you are the rules are as such where it limits the amount of time that you can be out here each day.

There has to be a ramp up of time. There has to be a ramp up in contact and those type of things. So it's a combination of both.

So you think tomorrow will be the first time you get like offense, it's my defense plan. Correct.

Kevin, you've been afternoon practice coach here in the morning. Is it a totally different schedule?

You know what we did was they don't have a indoor facility here. So if it were to rain here and you have no recourse down here with no indoor.

So just talking to some of the locals before we get down here, they said if it rains, it's in the afternoon.

So that was the idea behind practicing in the morning. Obviously it's hotter in the afternoon down here.

We do need to acclimate to the heat as well. So hopefully we have some practices here.
