1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Hey, Bill, appreciate you taking the time you're caught flat

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: foot of them. The question I wanted to ask is

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: he spoke on w ree I today about Tom Rey

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: booking at his options and he decided Tampa was a

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: better option. Why weren't the Patriots a better option for him?

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: When both Robert Craft and Brady himself said over and

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: over how much they wanted him to finish his career here. Yeah, Well,

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna go back and rehash all

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: that we've talked about that. Really, my focus right now

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: is on the My focus is on the game here.

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: And look, I have so much respect and appreciation for

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: Tom and everything he did here and for me and

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: for our team. And you know, we're just getting ready

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: to compete against Tampa this week, and we're gonna keep

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: our focus on that. But you've never you talked about

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: rehashing dynamics that you've already gone through. You've never done that. Yeah,

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: we made a statement when Tom left, and that covered it.

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: You're surprised he well, he's played his SWROM, sixty one

19
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: touchdown passed, and twenty three games down there. Super Bowl. Yeah,

20
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Tom's a great player. Nothing surprised me that he does

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: fair enough. Next question, Andrew killing him fold. I've been foward, Billy.

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to go back to the game yesterday, and

23
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: I know your defense rotated a lot and it's happened

24
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: in the past, but specific to the linebackers, did you

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: want to badly miss most off not all, the second

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: half due to injury? Uh? Yeah? Yes? And then what

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: made the decision to insert Jelani into his spot in

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: that rotation better for the defense is supposed to letting

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: Dot to play the entire second half? Yeah, Well, we've

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: we've been rotating our players defensively throughout the whole year,

31
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's the best way to manage

32
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: the situation. Yeah. So why was it best yesterday? Yeah,

33
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: for a number of reasons. Any coming mind, Yeah, I may.

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: It'd be a lot much longer conversation than this one.

35
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: We managed the way it felt is the best way

36
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: to manage it. Next question been Volund Hoby, Phil Perry,

37
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Morning Bill. I have one quick question about the game

38
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: and one about the Bucks. Yesterday, when you guys scored

39
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: the touchdown to make it twenty one twelve, you kicked

40
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: the extra point, but was there any thought there to

41
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: going for two. I'm just curious to be your thought

42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: process there. Yeah, that's always a decision, you know, with

43
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: the fifteen point game there, when you score, what to

44
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: do with that one? So if you if you kick it,

45
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: it's a one score game. If you go for it

46
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: and don't make it, then it's a two score game.

47
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: So we elected to make it a one score game. Gotcha. Uh.

48
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: And and just going back to the bucks, Um, just

49
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: seeing how well Brady's played the last few years, do

50
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: you wish that you had made the Patriots a better

51
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: option for him to return? Yeah? Again, I think we've

52
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: already covered that. Well, what about the way just that

53
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: they're playing on offense this year? What kind of challenge

54
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: do they prevent present on offense? Yeah, they have a

55
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: really good team. Um, they have very good offensive line,

56
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: a lot of experience the running back, receiver and tight

57
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: end positions, a lot of depth there. Um. So that's

58
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: a very very talented offensive football team, very talented defensive

59
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: football team. And that's why they're that's why they're as

60
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: good as they are. They've got a lot of good players. Um,

61
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: they're well coached and and uh, they got a really

62
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: good team. Okay, thanks. They're especially Phil Perry for my grease.

63
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: He build the stat sheet had Mac Junes or had

64
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: the Saints as having hit Mac Jones eleven times yesterday

65
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to the offensive line after having a

66
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: chance to watch it again, or were there communication issues

67
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: yesterday or was it something else when it came to

68
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: the past protection there, Yeah, maybe threw it all fifty

69
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: five times, So there was pressure on a few plays. Um,

70
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, there's some other circumstances on other ones. But

71
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean overall, Um, I wouldn't say it was bad.

72
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: There were plenty, plenty of times that we had a

73
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: good time. Not not every play, but you throw it

74
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: all fifty five times, it's you're gonna get some pressure

75
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: on the quarterback at some point. I mean maybe not.

76
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: You hope you're not, but I mean realistically, yes, it's

77
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: a lot of passes. Right and Bill, just how did

78
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: you see or how would you says? How Mac responded

79
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: to being hit? Yeah, I think Max handled everything. Well,

80
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: he's seen a lot, he's seen pressure, he's seen max

81
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: pressure and max coverage. You know, we've been in all

82
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: different types of formations, empty play actions, dropbacks, third downs.

83
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we're in too many third and long yesterday, and

84
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: he's seen a lot and I think he's dealt with

85
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: all of it pretty well. But you know, like any

86
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: young player, there's a lot of room for improvement. You know,

87
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: we need to improve just overall as a as a

88
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: total football team, but certainly offensively. Thanks Bill. Next question,

89
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: Mike Greeks follow my chars Holowy. So with the new

90
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: II rules or with the II rules three weeks a

91
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: player can start practicing again, do you envision Nikkil starting

92
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: to practice this week. It's a possibility, it's definitely a possibility. Well,

93
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: we'll see where he is today. But he's making progress,

94
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: so we'll probably make that decision in there's you know,

95
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: forty eight hours and um, when when James when out

96
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: that role, he feels Brandon Bolden ended up getting probably

97
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: three times the snaps to JJ. I guess I was

98
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: going to ask you, just what do you want to

99
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: see from JJ to maybe have him take on a

100
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: little more if you need him in that role if

101
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: James isn't available. Yeah, Well, you know, Brandon has by

102
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: far a most experience UM of that group, and and

103
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: certainly in the situation we're in yesterday, So um, you know,

104
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: I thought he did a good job of handling it.

105
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: That's that's you know, been a role that he's had

106
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: in the past, and fortunately we haven't had him needed

107
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: him to do that very often. Um, but when he has,

108
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's done a pretty good job. And

109
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: I thought I did a decent job for us yesterday,

110
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: so you know, bring thrown into that situation. He handled

111
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: a lot of blizz responsibilities and patterns, formations so forth

112
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: ended up being a passing game and on most of

113
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: the second half, and so I thought he handled it

114
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: pretty well. But we'll see going forward. One of their

115
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: quick one effect could on this. We know how much

116
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: pride you take in special teams. You guys have a

117
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: lot of players that are on the team primarily because

118
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: of what they do on in the kicking game. I'm

119
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: curious as you assess this, I mean, are you happy

120
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: with the personnel you have or do you need to

121
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: start considering maybe a change or two just based on

122
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: results that I would imagine you're not pleased with. Well,

123
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: As I've said multiple times, I think we need to

124
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: just do a better job in all areas, so offense, defense,

125
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: special teams, playing, coaching, You know everything. We all need

126
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: to do a better job. That's what we're going to

127
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: try to do. Your final questions should be Chara Sullivan

128
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: and Anamazar. Hey, Bill, I wanted to ask you, just

129
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: as a coach who's been in the league and you

130
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: obviously developed or helped developed the greatest quarterback of all

131
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: time in Tom Brady, do you draw on any of

132
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: that as you work with Mac as you're kind of

133
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: on the ground floor and um and and helping him develop, Like,

134
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: are there are there things that you applied with Tom

135
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: that you're using with Mac Jones. Yeah. Sure, We've had

136
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: a lot of young quarterbacks in here, and you know

137
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: Tom was of course Tom didn't play his rookie year, UM,

138
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: but his second year was kind of like a rookie year.

139
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: But you know, we had Rohan, we had you know, Jimmy,

140
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: we had Jacobe. You know, we've had We've had quite

141
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: a few guys here, Cliff and Ryan Mallett and all

142
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: of them. So you know, think you learned from the

143
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: experience of all those guys, and each one's a little

144
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: bit different. Um, there's some common threads and the common

145
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: with one common thread being it's our offense. UM. A

146
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: lot of coaches may have coached multiple quarterbacks in their

147
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: first season, but maybe not necessarily in the same type

148
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: of offense. So I think that's really what what we

149
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: can rely on is how those quarterbacks, you know, what's

150
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: what's given them trouble, what's been easy easier for them,

151
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: what we need to do to kind of help the

152
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: process and so forth. But yeah, of course we rely

153
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: on that. Sure. I guess what made what made me

154
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 1: curious is you know, all those other young guys you

155
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: mentioned Tom was always ahead of them, like Tom was

156
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: the number one, And now I wondered just if Mac

157
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: was more similar than any of the other young guys,

158
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: and if there's like a fun thing for you and

159
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: that sort of knowing your back on the grounds we

160
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: are having done what you did with Tom, you know,

161
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: to to be back at the kind of the start

162
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: of that equation. Yeah, well, again, they're all they're all different. Uh.

163
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: You know when we had um, you know, start the

164
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: season with Jimmy and then Jacoby, that was and then

165
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,599
Speaker 1: Jacoby ended up of course having to play Um you know,

166
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: that was this you know a little bit of the

167
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: same thing, not quite the same, but you know, we

168
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: didn't know exactly how that was going to go at

169
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, um, you know, and then

170
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: Tom came back and that was you know, that was

171
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: easy at that point. But the first you know, four

172
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: games we had to you know, be ready with uh,

173
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, with two young quarterbacks. So yeah, I think

174
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: you learned from all those experiences. Sure, but they're all

175
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: they're all different, but you know, you certainly you take

176
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: something from them. I mean, you know, I learned things

177
00:10:53,880 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: every day. So the last questioning of them was our Hey, coach,

178
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you about the third and

179
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: seven play on New Orleans's UM final drive there and

180
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: just if there is any sort of conversation about maybe

181
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: blitzing some extra rushers on that play and just kind

182
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: of what you saw on the play in general as well,

183
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: which which ploys out again Evan, there's about a twenty

184
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: two left in the fourth quarters, third and seven for

185
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: New Orleans from Yeah, yeah, well they had UM in

186
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: a New Orleans had mixed in some uh and third

187
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: down they'd mixed in some protection. Uh. You know, we

188
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: we pressured the U the first third down of the

189
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,599
Speaker 1: second drive, UM, and they protected that and picked it

190
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: up and and ended up hitting I think it was

191
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Callaway on the sideline on third nine or third and ten,

192
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: something like that. So that's something that we had done

193
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: earlier that they handled pretty well. You know, they were

194
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: in a protection situation. Shawn does a pretty good job

195
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: in mixing that up. So and I wasn't that excited

196
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: about running out again that that didn't go very well

197
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: the first time. Gotta thank you, Thank you, coach, Thanks everyone,

198
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: all right, thank you
