1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: So to start, do you have any clarity on the

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: quarterback situation? No, do you have thoughts on Jamie Collins.

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: He's had an outstanding season this year with the Patriots.

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on the way that he's performed From what

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: you've seen on film, it's been great. The entire defense

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: has been good, especially up third down. There they wreak havoc.

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: They a lot of sacks, a lot of turnovers. He's

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: a big part of it, but not the only part.

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: They have a lot of great players on defense. What

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: else have you seen that makes the Patriots defense stand

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: out from other defenses around the league? On film? They're disruptive.

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: They changed the latch spot of the quarterback. They get

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: after you at different waves, different response, different fronts. They

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: play tight man and man coverage. They sprinkle in some

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: his own just to mess with you a little bit.

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: But they're sounding what they do and they're disruptive. On

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, we saw the Bills

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: challenged the Patriots offense last week in a way that

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: we hadn't seen them challenge so far this year. What

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: have you taken away from the Bill's game plan defensively

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: that you may be able to use this weekend made

22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: a good job stopping run and getting his passing situations

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: to get them a little bit of pressure on Tom,

24
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,639
Speaker 1: which is a good for some of some airon balls

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: from time to time. But really it's all about pressure

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: stopping run with them, and then obviously handling some of

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: their unique formations and Edelman out in space on the

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: shallow crosses and all his works that Elman does. You

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: gotta have a hat on him somewhere. And then obviously

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: the running backs are very productive out of the backfield

31
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: catching the football. But really I still think stopping to

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: run is key because Tom gets a ton of action,

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: ton of plays with his play action passes. He's one

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: of the best play action passers in the game, in

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: my opinion, are probably the best. So this is a

36
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: team that you haven't played very often in recent years.

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: How does this change the way that you prepare for

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: a team that you're not too familiar with? Seeing doesn't

39
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: change anything. We still go through our preparations the same way.

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: You know, um, you know we did. We had schedules

41
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: different every year, we had new teams and old teams.

42
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. You gotta watch the film and you're

43
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: two years worth three years worse sometimes and try to

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: come up with the best plan. I puzzible, coach, what

45
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: have you seen from Tom Brey playing at age forty

46
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: two this season? What is impress you has played this year?

47
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: He looks saying to me. Out of him forty two,

48
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: twenty two thirty, He's just been a great player for

49
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: many years. It's uh, it's been a treat to watch

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: him over the years, and and I've learned a lot

51
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: from him. Actually, UM use him a lot in my

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: teach tapes and hate playing against them, but he has

53
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: been fun to watch over the years. Hey, coach, Sorry,

54
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: we just got out of Blichie's press conference and a

55
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: bunch of us just going real quick. I'm sure you're

56
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: asked this, but what's the plan at quarterback right now?

57
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: We don't have one right now. I'm gonna go out

58
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: here practice today. We have an individual and a little

59
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: bit of work we're gonna do almost see the health

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: of the guys first of all. See, we're going to

61
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: that and I'll make a decision shortly. So you expect

62
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: to make a decision today. I don't know yet. I

63
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: might just wait till Sunday at one o'clock. Yes, figured

64
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: out then coach on Terry McLaren, Was he what you

65
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: expected to be? Did you expect to have this type

66
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: of impact from him sort of from from the get go?

67
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: And you know how is I guess like he progressed

68
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: as the draft. Yeah, we had high hopes obviously, you know,

69
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, you know, we had Josh doxon or roster.

70
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: We end up letting him go partly because of the

71
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: emergence of Terry Um. You know, worst case we figured

72
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: he'd be a good backup guy to give us some speed,

73
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: uh and play great special teams. But when we got

74
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: him from day one of OTA's rookie mini camp, we

75
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: knew he was going to be a heck of a player. U.

76
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: He does it all. He can run whatever route you

77
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: want with speed underneath routes, he can block, He's smart. Um.

78
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: We missed him greatly last week, but you know, we

79
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: have some other guys got to step up, and I

80
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: hope they do this week. Coach of the Patriots tight

81
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: end position, offs obviously looks a lot different this year

82
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: without Rob Gronkowski. What have you seen from the current

83
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: group and what do you sort of expect from Ben

84
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: Watson as he returns more physicality. You know, he's one

85
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: of the better blocking tight ends in the league. He's

86
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: been doing it for a long time. He's experienced, he's smart,

87
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: so you can do a lot of different things with him,

88
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: and I think that'll add to their ability to run

89
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: the ball even better. And then obviously the play actions

90
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: off of it, where Tom really really has a field

91
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: day with his play actions passes. That will help him

92
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: out a lot in both both three guards, which makes

93
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: them even more dangerous. A couple more questions, guys, Jay,

94
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: many offensive coaches who have played the Patriots a note,

95
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, just Belichick's tendency to kind of change his

96
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: defense for each opponent. How do you handle that mystery?

97
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: You know, as you gain plan for this defense this week,

98
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: they have you sound on what you do. You gotta

99
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: have rules. With different fronts, you don't know what you're

100
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: gonna get. But we have a pretty good standard of

101
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: how we handle different fronts and different rules and different people.

102
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: You know, I think the biggest thing has communicate and

103
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: who's in the game. You know, sometimes a lot one

104
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: defensive linement, sometimes at five, you know, you just never know.

105
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: We just got to get the counts right and communicate

106
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: and get the ball play fast. Jay, I believe first

107
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: or second year quarterbacks since twenty fourteen or nineteen against

108
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots. If it is Dwayne going up against New England,

109
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: what is your advice for him or what do you

110
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: direct him to do against a defense that can show

111
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: so many different looks pretty snap. Well, any quarterback, whichever

112
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: quarterback it is, number one, we got to protect them

113
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: if we're going to throw it, and we got to

114
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: do a better job protecting, and then our receiver's got

115
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: to do a good job and tight end, and back's

116
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: got to do job a great job of getting separation.

117
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't have to hear the quarterbacks are if we

118
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: don't have any protection, we can't get separation. Tom Brady

119
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't have any success here. So we got to do

120
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: a great job of protecting the quarterback communicating, and then

121
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: receivers got to do a good job of getting open.

122
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks coach, Yeah, thanks Jack,
