1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: It's Bill Belichick. Hey Bill, Hey glad, how you doing.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Hey Bill, Hey coach. First of all, coach, our condolen

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: First of all, our condolences to you and your family

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: and the passing of your mom. Some of the stories

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: you told last week, we're quite fascinating of sitting there

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: and watching games as you were growing up with your mom,

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: with your dad out in the road. So again we

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: send our condolences to you in the entire family. Yeah,

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you. All right, So let's get

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: to the game last night and the long ride home.

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: I know you never liked to refer to a loss

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: as a good loss, but based on what you saw

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: in the improvement you have seen in your team over

14
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, would you say that you're

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: seeing signs of encouragement. Well, then, we only played two games.

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: I think we've improved in those two weeks, and I

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: think we're going to continue improve over the next few weeks.

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: So hopefully that'll be the case. Here. We got a

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: long way to go, and we got a lot of

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: things that we need to improve on, and you know, coach,

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: better play better, and so we'll just we'll keep working

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: on all those but yeah, each I'm sure each week

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: will be a step forward for us, you know, coach,

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been a rough week just I think

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: for the whole team, and you know, just you know,

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Glenn brought up your mom and James White had a

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: really rough week with the passing of his dad and

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: his mom and intensive care. I just I've never been

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: in a situation like that, so I can imagine it's

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: a pretty difficult situation to be I'm sure maybe some

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: guys are preoccupied. Is there something that you do you

32
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: would have to address the team, you know, to discuss

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: the situation before it I mean, just how important is

34
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: it to you know, talk about that and make sure

35
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: the guys are even though it's a difficult situation, they're

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: focused at least for the short term on the game. Um.

37
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: You know, we talked, we talked about UM. You know,

38
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: those things come up unfortunately every year. UM, in one

39
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: way or another, we've had um you know, players and

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: coaches lose loved ones and um, you know, injuries happen

41
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: and so forth. I mean, it's just part of life.

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: We all, like we all lived that in our in

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: our lives at some point or another. And anytime you

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: have the number of people that we have between you know,

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and all the support people and the

46
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: players and so forth. I mean, it's inevitable that you're

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: gonna be dealing with some forms of you know, personal happiness,

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: like you know, babies being born and things like that,

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: and then there's gonna, unfortunately, be some some sadness. And

50
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, as a team, our our hearts are at

51
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: different times still with joy and sadness, and it's a

52
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: heartbreaking situation for James and and our all of our

53
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: hearts go out to him, and our prayers go out

54
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: to him and his family. So it's eat eat situations

55
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: different and I'm not trying to say that they're all

56
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: the same by any means, but they frequently occur. They

57
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: occur annually, really um. And some are more you know,

58
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: maybe tragic than others. But you know, I can't think

59
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: of a season when, as I had coach, I haven't

60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: had you know that that somebody hasn't gone through something

61
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: that's very you know, emotional or or tragic. Um. And

62
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: it's it's tough when that happens. Tough on them, and

63
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: it's tough on the people that care about them and

64
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: love them. Um, so yeah, I look like he had

65
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: support actually, not just from your teammates, but everybody from

66
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: around the league. Just awful, awful news and thoughts and

67
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: pray with him. Um, coach, I want to ask you

68
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: about Russell Wilson. He's sort of like just such a

69
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: special guy. Kind of damned if you do, damned if

70
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: you don't. But how'd you feel your front seven did

71
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: just as far as maybe discipline, maybe trying to keep

72
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: him in the pocket. It's tough of a uh, I

73
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: guess the job that it is to do that with

74
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: that guy. I thought we actually handled him in the

75
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: pocket pretty well. We missed a couple of tackles that,

76
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, where we had a chance to We had

77
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: a chance to get him. We just couldn't get him.

78
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: But that's you know, that's part of playing him too.

79
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: He's he's not an easy guy to tackle, and he's

80
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: not an easy guy to corral. And if he has

81
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: space to work with, and you know, he's very deceptive

82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: with the ball and sometimes he runs it, sometimes he

83
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: throws it, sometimes he's slides, sometimes he doesn't, you know.

84
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: So he's he's a very um instinctive and UM, you know,

85
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: he's he's just the player that's he's got a lot

86
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: of experience. You know, he's instinctive and he's just you know,

87
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: resourceful and you know, being able to create and and

88
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: do things on a football field. So, like I said,

89
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: it wasn't that really we didn't have we didn't have

90
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: anybody for him at times, or there was just a

91
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: lot of open space. Um. A couple of times we

92
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: just weren't able to get close enough to him to

93
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: get him even though we were sort of there, but

94
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: this wasn't quite good enough. So but he can. He

95
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: does that to you, and you know, we've got to

96
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: got to do a better job of coaching and got

97
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: a job executing in those situations. Um. But it's there's

98
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: very little margin for her with him, UM, and anything,

99
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: whether it's containing him, covering the receivers he's thrown to. Um,

100
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: you know, reading his eyes and his where he's looking,

101
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: and you know how he can control the defense. Um,

102
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: he's exceptional at all those things. We put all together.

103
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's a multitude of problems and playing

104
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: against him. Yeah, coach, I was just the two plays,

105
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: the offensive plays that stood out to me as far

106
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: as just it feels like, you know, you guys had

107
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: everything right. Good coverage is the Gilmore was the was

108
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: it the more touchdown? And the DK metcalf one is

109
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: that just hey, tip your cap, great catch, beautiful throw.

110
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean you had people there, but they just made

111
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: a play. Yeah. Well, as you know, Christians, sometimes in

112
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: this league, you know, defensively, you can you can be

113
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: in great position, you can you know, have have a

114
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: player covered about as well as you can cover them.

115
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: And you know, an exceptional throw, an exceptional catch sometimes

116
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: beats great coverage. You know, just like when Matt Ryan

117
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: hit Julio Jones in a Super Bowl on a sideline.

118
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes there's just there's only an inch or

119
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,119
Speaker 1: two to get the ball in there, and and these

120
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: great players can do it. Great quarterbacks can do it,

121
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: and receivers can catch it. So you know, we're always

122
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: trying to do things the best we can, and you know,

123
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: sometimes you just have to give credit to their apponents

124
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: for you know, great play. But you know that being said,

125
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other things we could have done

126
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: better in the game. We could have coached better, we

127
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: could have played better that would have helped ourselves along

128
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: the way, and you know, I think that's really what

129
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: we need to continue to focus on. Some things we

130
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: did pretty well and we had good results. A couple

131
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: of times we did things well, and you know, like

132
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: I said, you just have to get them credit for

133
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: doing them a little bit better. Sometimes they did things

134
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: well and you know we did it a little bit better.

135
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes we took advantage of mistakes that

136
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: they made them. It's just one of those games. And

137
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, ultimately came down to the final play. But

138
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's two competitive teams battling it out, and

139
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: it's a lot of good football out there and a

140
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: lot of good football players. What did you see with

141
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: that last play? Because you ran it before it worked?

142
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: Um what happened here? No, they made a good play

143
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: on it again stat to getting carried on that. They

144
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: they made a good They made a good play and

145
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, so we came up a little short. Coach,

146
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Nakioa Harry because I know, um,

147
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: he took a pop early on in that game. It

148
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: held on to the football and I think everybody's you know,

149
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: people appeared impatient, right they want to see this first

150
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: round talent. They want to see him be a star

151
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: right away. But eight catches on twelve targets. Is this

152
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: guy in the path that kind of on the path

153
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: that you expected when he took him in that first round.

154
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: Having year two in the league, is are you seeing

155
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: what you want to see from him? Well, I think

156
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: all of our players had made a made a good

157
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: jump from year one to year two, and so he's

158
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: in that group. You know, those kids are still not

159
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: where they're going to be. They're they're still you know,

160
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: young and gaining experience and improving, and so we'll we'll

161
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: see where it all comes out and where it takes them.

162
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: But you know, I think that they're they're all, you know,

163
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: way ahead of where they were last year, and you know,

164
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: to keep them at the first half of the season

165
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: last year, so I only played happy year. Um, but

166
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's improved and then productive. And you

167
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: can say that about a lot of the other guys

168
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: in that group too. So you know what you hope

169
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: will happen as players, you know, gain experience and work

170
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: on their craft and their techniques and train and so forth. Um,

171
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't think that the final evaluations

172
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: in on on any of those guys. I mean, we'll

173
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: just you know, see how it goes and see where

174
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: it keeps going to and you know, take a longer

175
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: look at it, you know, after a full season instead

176
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: of after you know, one or two plays. Yeah, I'm

177
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: guessing you put a guy a Chase Winn a bitch

178
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: in that group as well. Does he Is he bigger?

179
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: Is he stronger this year than maybe was year one?

180
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: I'd say a little bit, but you know, not not dramatically,

181
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: but probably a little bit. I mean certainly, you know,

182
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: guys like Byron Coward, that's you know, he's already played

183
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: more this year than he played all last year. Um,

184
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Bailey, you know, he had a lot

185
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: of playing time last year at his position, and so

186
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: that's you know, he's a little bit of a little

187
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: bit of a different different situation there. But um, but

188
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean again, I think all these guys

189
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: are are improving. You know, Jalan's really played probably already

190
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: about as much as he played defensively last year, you know,

191
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: other than but you know, in terms of our third

192
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: down defense and that kind of thing. You know, he's

193
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: he's played more. So you know, we'll again, We'll just

194
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: see how it all see all works out. Came random

195
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: ball fifteen times last week. A lot of people were

196
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: questioning whether it was sustainable. He ranted eleven times in

197
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: the game last night, but he threw for three hundred

198
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: and ninety seven yards. How much does that allow you

199
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: to open up more of this offense or is it

200
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: really a game plan from week to week depending on

201
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: the opponent and you know what you can exploit with

202
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: that opponent. Yeah, well, I thank Lennon always comes down

203
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: to that for us. You know, we're going to try

204
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: to take advantage of our opportunities and our matchups, and

205
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: I think Josh and the offensive staff, you know, always

206
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: do a good job of that. You know, we talked

207
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: about trying to you know, attack opponent's weaknesses and it's

208
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: at the same time trying to play our strength as

209
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: much as we can. But yeah, you know, if we

210
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: feel like we can gain an advantage, then we'll try

211
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: to do that. If we don't, then hopefully we can

212
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: find something else that, you know, we can get an

213
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: advantage with. Hey, coach, what's um? How's Devin progressing? Is

214
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: um as far as I guess so I guess we're

215
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: all kind of curious to see him kind of getting

216
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: more involved in the offense. I want to think all

217
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: of our our rookie players this year's kind of the

218
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: flip side of what we just talk about. You know,

219
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: for our second year players, you know, no preseason games, um,

220
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, opportunities in practice. But you know, other players

221
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: like Ryan Is though, that you know, have more experience,

222
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: that have you know, been able to stack those years

223
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: and and reps and and this year, um, you know,

224
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: on top of them, they're just you know, some of

225
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: those we have other players that are ahead of some

226
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: of those guys. So right now we'll again just see

227
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: how they you know, how they developed and the rate

228
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: that they come along with. But I don't think Devin

229
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: and Dalton are both yeah, good good young players that

230
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, we're excited to work with. They're improving every day. Um,

231
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: obviously they have a long way to go, and like

232
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: all rookies do, especially you know, when no preseason games,

233
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: this is different, a little bit different in terms of

234
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: their opportunity than you know what and maybe what has

235
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: been in some other years. But that's all the same

236
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: for everybody. So I mean it is what it is,

237
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: but it's just we want to make sure that we're

238
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: putting them in situations that they're comfortable with and experienced

239
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: and experienced as much as we can, you know, practice

240
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: it and make sure they know what they're doing. Coach,

241
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: I know it's UM this weekend, obviously the night game,

242
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: you're busy getting ready for the game. But a couple

243
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: of weeks into the season, I'm curious if you've if

244
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: you've seen any of um the Tampa Bay and Tom

245
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: Brady at quarterback, if it if it looks different, if

246
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: it looks strange for you, just what your thoughts in

247
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: his play so far. I've really been focused on the

248
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: teams that replying Loup Miami was, you know, obviously a

249
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: big focus for US Seattle. UM, you know, there were

250
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: some other things that came up for me last week

251
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: and other Raiders. You know, are there a team that

252
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, we haven't played Seattle as a team, we

253
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: haven't played, so we kind of got our hands full

254
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: with you know, doing taking care of the things we

255
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: got to take care of. I don't watch a lot

256
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: of other pro games. I don't only watch a lot

257
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: of college games. UM, No, I'll watch the games that

258
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: affect what we do. You've seen a lot of Jamal

259
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: Adams obviously with the Jets. Um, he seemed to be

260
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: everywhere in the game last night. Are they using him differently, Bill,

261
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: And did you sense that as well, differently compared to

262
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: what compared to where he was with the Jets. Did

263
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: they use him any differently than what you saw with

264
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: the Jets? He he he just seemed to have an impact

265
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: in that game last man, he seemed to be all

266
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: over the place. Yeah, Well, I think you know, those

267
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: two totally different schemes. Um. You know, you have Pete

268
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: scheme and you have Greg Williams scheme. So but you know,

269
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: Greg Williams used them and to blitz a lot and

270
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: play close to the line of scrimmage. And then there

271
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: were some times when he, you know, would show like

272
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: he was gonna blitz and made you respect it and

273
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: then they'd do something else. So I think Pete has

274
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: incorporated some of that into his system. He blitz them,

275
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, several times in the game, which is what

276
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: he did last week against Carolina, but kind of the

277
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: actual game planned for him and all. I mean, you

278
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: talked to Seattle about that, but you know, he you

279
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: know generally plays closer to line of scrimmage, and you

280
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: know blitz is a decent amount, which is kind of

281
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: what he did at the Jets, but it was just

282
00:15:54,920 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: a different a little different package, great way, Coach Williams.

283
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: A scheme at the Jets is just different than peace.

284
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: So so, coach, earlier today I heard you talking about

285
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and how you've seen a significant improvement some

286
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: of his mechanics. I'm just curious if you can dive

287
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: into a little bit more. Is it just is it

288
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: footwork or what exactly are you seeing that's making him

289
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: just be extremely accurate He in the first couple of weeks. Well,

290
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's a dramatic improvement. I'd say there's

291
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: a couple of things that you know, we asked him

292
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: to work on. Talking to him about um, he understood

293
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: him and he's worked on him. So you know they're

294
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: technical things, specific things, but that's um footwork and so forth.

295
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: But he's done a good job of that and you know,

296
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: I know he'll continue to work on it because that's

297
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: the type of kid he As he asked him to

298
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: do something, he'll know he'll dive in and work very

299
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: hard at it so um but you know, look, there

300
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: always thinks that that every needs to refine at every position.

301
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: I don't care what position you play. They are always

302
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: techniques that you can work on or find something that's

303
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: a little bit new or you know it's a different

304
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: play or different you know, type of move that if

305
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: you can add that, you know, it's like having another

306
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: pitch pitch or having another good pitch he can go to.

307
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: So good players are always working to improve their their

308
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: core things and if they can add something that's, um,

309
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, an additional way to be productive, and you

310
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: know they'll they'll do that. So look, some of the

311
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: things in our offense are different than things he's done

312
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: in the past. And that's not anybody's you know, fault,

313
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 1: it's just the way it is. It's pretty common actually

314
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: at every position when you get a new player, not

315
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: everything exactly the same as they've been somewhere else. So

316
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: sometimes there's some adjustments that players have to make to

317
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, adapt to a new system. So it's fairly

318
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: fairly common. The coach first through first couple of weeks.

319
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: It's been a struggle here for for Nick Folk, and

320
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm wondering does it get to the point where it

321
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: becomes a big concern, or maybe offensively, you maybe call

322
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: plays differently knowing that maybe that kicking game is not there. Yeah,

323
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that's okay. I'll confidence and Nick, we

324
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: need to care about t him out there, and I

325
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: think I'll make it all right, coach. So it's time

326
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: for the drive slash question of the week. So, coach,

327
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: the first part is, well, you think the drive of

328
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: the week is I don't know seven's interception? Yeah, right

329
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: out of the game, a little chrishion. All right. So

330
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: so the question of the week coaches. Um, I don't

331
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: know if you saw this or not, but Dion Sanders

332
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: um has accepted a job to be the head coach

333
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: of Jackson State. Um. Know, it's a great corner Hall

334
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: of Famer. Any advice for Dion Sanders, Like, it's it's

335
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: coaching college. What would be the most important thing for

336
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders to know as he takes on this new

337
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: endeavor being a head coach of a college team. Yeah,

338
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm the right person to ask for

339
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: that one. I mean, I have never coached in college,

340
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: so I'm sure Dion will be fine. Well, definitely, cornerbacks

341
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: will be good. I think he was gonna ask somebody.

342
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: I think you should probably ask Jackie Slater. So that's

343
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: Jackie's alma mater. Okay, thank you for it. That's maad

344
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: be my advice talking Jackie Slater. Okay, all right, work.

345
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: I think Mutt talks to Matthew Slater today, so we'll

346
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: send that message along to Mike. Hey. One more, another

347
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: clean game. Last night. You had two penalties in the game.

348
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: The first one didn't come until there were a few

349
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: minutes left in the first half. One interception. We're seeing

350
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: a lot of sloppy play out there in the league.

351
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: And I know you always emphasize, you know, ball security

352
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: and you know, keeping the game clean, But did did

353
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: you do a little bit more of it this year

354
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: based on the sk joel and what we're dealing with

355
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: here with the coronavirus, more of what spending more time

356
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: dealing with it, putting them more of an emphasis on

357
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: it than you would. Not that you haven't put the

358
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: emphasis before, but it seems to me there's a difference

359
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: between what we're seeing with your team and a lot

360
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: of these other teams. No, that's always been at the

361
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: top of the list, all security fundamentals, penalties. I don't

362
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: think that'll ever change. That's dot. I don't care what

363
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: the what any of the rest of it is. That's

364
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: those are basics to football, and so they'll always be

365
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: important to us. It's hard to putting anything about that.

366
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: Those you know points that that's yeah, that's where it starts.

367
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: All right, Bill Raiders one o'clock Sunday afternoon. They're playing tonight,
