1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Hey, we got drug Mayo here. We'll start off with

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Mike Reece followed by Chris Ryan. Go ahead, Mike major Ode,

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: how are you doing today? Just don't mute yourself? All right?

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: Doing well might tell you good. Had a five yard

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: penalty for being muted. But I'm going to decline. But

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: I'm going to decline it's good, that's great. Hey, I

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: want to start off with something that probably isn't related

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: at all to what you're doing right now. So but

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: it's a bigger picture thing that that is significant in

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: the league, which is um Brady probably gonna go over

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand passing yards in his career. If you

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: think about that, like one hundred thousand passing yards, it's

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: a sort of a milestone number, right, And and I

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you just with it's got thirteen thousand

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: of those coming in the postseason. When you process what

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: I just said, like how much does that sort of

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand factory too, Like it's gonna be hard for

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: anyone to beat that number. Well, you know, when you

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: think of time, you think of you know, greatness, you

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: think of longevity, you think of the ultimate competitor. So

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, when you hear those numbers, like you know, records.

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: You know, people always say records are meant to be broken,

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: but those won't probably be broken at least anytime soon

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: in our lifetimes. So definitely impressed by all those numbers.

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: And then just a quick follow up as a teammate

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: of his, And that's why I ask you, you know what,

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: what were you able to observe of how he elevated

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: his game you know in the postseason. Yeah, you know,

29
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: he just continued to evolve, you know, throughout the season.

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Coach always talks about, you know, as a team, we

31
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: won't be the same team in September that we are

32
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: in December and Jane Ryan February. And I would say Tim,

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: as an individual player, he would just continue to evolve

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: as the season went on and really you know, finding

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: out the strength scenarios to improve on the offensive side

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: of the ball. So just always looking for ways to

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: get better. Thanks. I just want to I just want

38
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: to send my condolensis to the Zimmer family. You know,

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: I heard about his son and also uh, you know

40
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: take off, you know in the hip hop community. Um,

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: it's a pretty sad day, pretty sad day to day.

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: So appreciate your mentioning natural. I'm sorry that I started

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: off with the questions before, so we'll go to Chris Ryan.

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: Filed by Emalys Haard. Go ahead, Chris. He drod Um

45
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: just want to ask you a little about the Colts

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: offense here with Sam Ellinger and also Marcus Brady apparently

47
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: getting let go as the offensive coordinator for the team.

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: Obviously some fluctuation there. What does that mean from a

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: game planning standpoint when you don't have a lot of

50
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: tape on Ellinger and not quite sure maybe the direction

51
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: they'll go in from a play calling perspective, Yeah, you

52
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: still you know, you still have tape point Ellinger. You know,

53
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: he played in the preseason and things like that, and

54
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: I would say the head coach is still an offensive guy,

55
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: so I'm sure changed too much. But at the same time,

56
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: we just had to be aware who's on the field

57
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: and where people are located on the field, and I

58
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: really see how the game is going. So it's definitely

59
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: gonna be difficult, but at the same time, we just

60
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: had to play with the ultimate awareness in this game

61
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: of thing. I want to ask you about Bill's three

62
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty fifth victory as well. He mentioned you

63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: in the postgame speech and yesterday Matthews later was talking about,

64
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, how Bill has adapted through the time period,

65
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: and it's kind of underrated his people skills, his ability

66
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: to message to different generations basically of players. That the

67
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: messaging now very different from the your error and the

68
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: Bruskie variable error prior to that. What have you seen

69
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: in terms of changes and adaptation from him and how

70
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: he goes about the motivating players and connecting with players. Yeah,

71
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: I think I underappreciate it quality of coaches, his ability

72
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: to evolve, and also his ability to listen. And he

73
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: has always had you know, even though he's had older

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: coaching staffs, he's always had a few younger guys on

75
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: the staff who were able to really take the message

76
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: in from him and really disseminate that amongst the rest

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: of the guys. And he's also done a great job

78
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: being able to just adapt his coaching style to this generation.

79
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: You know, this generate, I'm not Look, these guys are

80
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: still tough nosed football players. They love the game. At

81
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: the same time, they're just different leavers to pool to

82
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: motivate these guys and coach have always done a good

83
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: job at doing that no matter who whatever. Thanks. Thanks. Yeah,

84
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: We'll go to Evan Lazzarafa by Zach Cox. Go ahead, Evan, Adrian,

85
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: how are you doing? I'm doing well. Evan, how are you?

86
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. Thanks. Two questions for you, if you

87
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: have the time. First one, I just wanted to ask

88
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: you about cross training the safeties at linebacker and kind

89
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: of what that process is like for you guys as

90
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: a staff to have guys like you know, Adrian, Gabriel

91
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: Kyle basically play as linebackers, and how you go about

92
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: teaching them, you know, their responsibilities from that alignment as well. Yeah,

93
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: I would say as a coaching staff were very He's

94
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: given everything we do. We try to try to, you know,

95
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: cultivate an atmosphere of learning for the players, not only

96
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: just learning what you have to do, but learning what

97
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: everyone else has to do. And that's trickled down, you know,

98
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: generation after generation under coach Belichick. So we try to

99
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: we try to be, you know, try to be conceptual learners.

100
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: And so if someone gets hurt in the game, you know,

101
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: a linebacker, we can easily plow the safety in there. Now, Look,

102
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: we don't want to go the other way by plugging

103
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: a linebacker and in safety, but at the same time,

104
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: like we can plug a linebacker and a defensive end,

105
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: which we do all the time, and so all these

106
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: guys that we always talk about versatility in the scheme

107
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: and things like that. But it's been great working with

108
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Brian and working with the safeties and you know, just

109
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: really all those guys. Alright. Thanks. In the second question,

110
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: we saw on Sunday, you guys drop guys off the

111
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and kind of blitz from other spots

112
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: in the defense. And I was just wondering for jude On.

113
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: For uj does seemed to be the primary guys doing that.

114
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: What do you guys seeing them in practice that it

115
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: allows you to know that they can handle dropping into

116
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: coverage in a game situation. Well last year. Last year

117
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: they did a lot of that, not a lot, but

118
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: they did it at times. And if you remember when

119
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: j first got here, he played a lot more off

120
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: the ball than on the ball linebacker. So he understands

121
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: zone concepts and things like that, and so does Matt Judon.

122
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: And the verse utility definitely is a is a strength.

123
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: And you know, and when they do decide the Russian

124
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: has definitely one of their strengths as well. So just

125
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: keeping offensive lines, guessing and not always sending the same

126
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: people as part of our game plan mentality here. Thanks John, Thanks,

127
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: and it looks like we'll take our final question from

128
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: Zach Cox. Go ahead, Zach Pedro, Are you I'm doing well?

129
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: How are you that doing well? Just want to ask you,

130
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: with Matthew Slater now becoming the second place person on

131
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: the franchises All Time games playlist, just in your mind,

132
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: what has he meant to this franchise and this organisation

133
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: over all the years that he's been here. Uh, you know, look,

134
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: Slater is uh, the ultimate professional on and off the field,

135
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: one of the best leaders I've been around. And you

136
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: know this, this uh, you know, this interview has really

137
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: been around evolution, whether we're talking about coach evolving or

138
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: we're talking about Tom and the team evolving. But when

139
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: Slayton I came in together, I mean I looked at

140
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: him like he had no chance of making a team.

141
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: And seriously and just through his hard work and through

142
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: his effort and through his smarts and toughness and attitude,

143
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: he's he was able to, you know, turn himself into

144
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: the slater that you see today. And I couldn't be

145
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: more proud of my brother Uh to still be going

146
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: and to have that title as number two in all

147
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: time games here and I love he said. Hopefully he

148
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: chases number one. It's a long way away, but you know,

149
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: if anyone could do it, it's going to be slave awesome.

150
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanksamtly, Hey guys, thank you
