1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Time to talk to the head coach of the New

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: England Patriots, Gerrod Mayo, What is your what is your

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: number one condiment?

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: Number one? That's ketchup is always going to be number one.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: But man, second, I can't stand ketchup.

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 3: I would go, I would go.

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: Must you know what? No, Mike's hot, honey?

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah right.

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: Well, appreciate I know you guys got back late. Appreciate

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: you getting up this morning. You are we're we're onto

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: the regular season. I wanted to ask you from a

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: head from a head coach view, are you are you

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: used to it now in game wise? And are you

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: ready for prime time?

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: You know the operation from a communications standpoint, and you know,

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: sub an operational standpoint. I think we I think we're

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: all on the same page. The regular season might be different.

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: Every game is its own game within itself, so I'm

19
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: sure some things will pop up throughout the season, but

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: I feel pretty confident about the way the operation uh

21
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: is going.

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 4: Serrod, it looks like, just based off of preseason and

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 4: you know what we see and what we're hearing that

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 4: Drake may has outperformed Jacoby Brissett. Why so, why is

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 4: it that it seems like Jacoby Brissett is still the

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 4: starting quarterback or quarterback QB one.

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: I would say, you know, it's a combination of you know,

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: Drake becoming more comfortable and you know he's climbing the

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: ranks and Jakobe having a better overall command of the operation.

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: But who knows, they may change. And you know, we

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: said it all along, we had one A and one B.

32
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: It's a competition. That's definitely a huge conversation here over

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: the next couple of days of how we want to

34
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: approach it. I would say, you know, we came into

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: the preseason with the plan for Drake. You know, he's

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: a you know, number three overall picks, so you know, uh,

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: the expectations and things like that are high, and the

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: pressure from the outside, from the fans and the media

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: will be to put Drake in. But you know, after

40
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: speaking with a VP and Eliott, we feel we still

41
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: feel confident about the plan we have for Drake now

42
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: and saying that, uh, you know, he's played very he's

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: played very well, and what we'll see how that power

44
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: looks here over the next couple of days.

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: You mentioned the plan last week with us. Can I

46
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: just ask what what was that plan? When you say

47
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: the plan, what, what was that?

48
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: It was a developmental plan. You know, the reason that

49
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: you know, we're excited to get Jacoby here. He had

50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: a good understanding of the offense. And you know he's

51
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 2: a great leader, great mentor. He could mentor a guy

52
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: like Drake. And also, you know, teach him some of

53
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: the playbook, uh, some of the reads and things like that.

54
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: And you know, for us, you know, we've all seen

55
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: the horror stories of sometimes rookie quarterbacks just you know,

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: getting thrown to the wolves and and they fall apart,

57
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: and we didn't want that to happen. Now, I'm not

58
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: saying that would happen with Drake at all, because he

59
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: is a mentally tough person and he shows great resilience

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: and all of the ball. But the plan, look, it's

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: a it's a I'm not gonna get too in depth

62
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: with the plan, but just now that you know his

63
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: development to this point has has worked out the way

64
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: that we anticipated.

65
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 4: Well, I know, you guys have talked about a plan

66
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 4: and you've kind of been pretty open. The only thing

67
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: that's kind of confused me a little bit is I

68
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: might have been last week where Alex van Pelt was

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 4: asked about Jacoby Brissette and Drake Maine. He kind of

70
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 4: said to Kobe, Brissette was the starter. So I guess

71
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 4: maybe you always talk about plants can change. When will

72
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 4: we get the official start of a week one? I

73
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: know you said it would probably be sometime today.

74
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: Wait, I don't want you to be conchiud. First of all, yes,

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: I would say.

76
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: It actually happens. It happens rather frequently. Coach explain it

77
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: to me like I'm a four year.

78
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: Well, well, let me let me clear it up. You know,

79
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: after after much thought, after the cuts, I would rather

80
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: personally announced who the starting quarterback is to the team

81
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: before I announced it to everyone else. We've maintained our

82
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: stance that Jacoby was QV one, and early on, you know,

83
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: you could see that there was a huge gap between

84
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: UH one A and one B or I would say two.

85
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: But now that gap is definitely shrunk here over the

86
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: last few weeks.

87
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 5: When it comes to the bottom line, when it comes.

88
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: From Wiggy, were good on that one. I want to

89
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: make sure. I want to clear it up. You got

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: to follow up far away.

91
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: Wiggy's confused because we all sort of are a little

92
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: bit because last night you were not able to say

93
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: that even if Jacoby Brissette were hurt, that Drake May

94
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: would be your number two essentially.

95
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, you know, let's talk about the injury first.

96
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: I don't know Jacob May come in here today. We

97
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: got it at four o'clock in the morning. They come

98
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: in today saying, you know, the shoulder is no good

99
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: or you know. So I'm not going to get too

100
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: far down the road on if Jacoby could play or

101
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: couldn't play. What I will say is that this was

102
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: this is a or is a true competition. It wasn't

103
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 2: fluff or anything like that. It's a true competition. And

104
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: I would say, at this current point, you know, Drake

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: has outplayed Jakobe. Now I'm saying that we have to

106
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: take in the full body of work, you know, going

107
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: all the way back to the spring in the beginning

108
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: of training camp, and we'll see where we end up.

109
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 2: But those are the conversations that will happen here over

110
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: the next couple of days.

111
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: I said something a few moments ago that some believe

112
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: I would not say to your face when you're on

113
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: this show.

114
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: I'm going to say it right now because we're not.

115
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: We're not. We're not in the same room. So I'm

116
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 3: not afraid. I will be afraid later.

117
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: But shouldn't be.

118
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: To to this fan's naked eye, this O line stinks.

119
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

120
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: Is that a factor when it comes to this, Like

121
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: you don't want a guy to go in there like

122
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: Drake May, who you may not have the optimum O

123
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: line for him.

124
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 3: Right now, I.

125
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: Would say, you always want to support a lookie quarterback,

126
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: no matter who it is, with the great old line

127
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: and receivers that can catch the ball and make things

128
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: right and run and make big plays all those things.

129
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: Right now, the old line is continuing to try to

130
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: jail you know, pre snap penalties aside. I thought they

131
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: did some good things last night as well, especially in

132
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 2: a run game. But you know, to your point, you

133
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: want those guys. You want the quarterback to feel comfortable

134
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: back there, no matter who it is. It could be

135
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: Brady back there, or it could be it could be

136
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: Drake May, like I don't know, but you want those

137
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: guys to be comfortable behind the offensive line. And we

138
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: still have some time, and I understand the season is

139
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: really you know, a couple of weeks away, but we

140
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: still have some time for the quarterbacks to build that

141
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: trust in the offensive line and also the coaching staff

142
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: and the players. You know, that's one of those positions

143
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: offensive line as a whole, where you know, it's not

144
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: always like putting the best person at an individual spot.

145
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: It's about what combination of guys. And I think I've

146
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: said this before, what combination of guys give us the

147
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: best chance to win football games? Now I'm saying that

148
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: when you ask me what success looks like, is that

149
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: we just get better each and every week and that

150
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: we're trending in the right way. We should be a

151
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: better football team, you know, in the second, in the

152
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: second in October than we are in September or November

153
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: than we are in October. And that's the plan. And

154
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: if we do that and we're playing good football at

155
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: the end of the year, and the O line and

156
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: really everyone defensively, offensively and special teams, that we're playing great,

157
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: complimentary football and that we're winning football games. So that's

158
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: that's really the north start and the way that I

159
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: should say we think about it.

160
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: As an organization. Do you wish you had done more

161
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: to address the O line in the off season.

162
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: We felt like we signed the best O line in

163
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: free agency and Mike and Big Mic all right, that's

164
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: number one. Now his versatility, whether it's guard tackle, that's

165
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: another conversation, but we did address the O line. I

166
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: would also say, looking out the front one shield, that

167
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: we have an opportunity to improve our team through the

168
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: wave of wire. And we're in a very unique situation

169
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: right now where we're third on the wave of wire,

170
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: and there'll be some good players that get released from

171
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: their team and we're going to try to take advantage

172
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: of that. And like I said, like you know, the

173
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: starting guard or the starting tackle may not be in

174
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: our team today, but we'll see here over the next couple.

175
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 5: Of days what we're able to do up trod. I

176
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 5: do think that a lot of people are just going

177
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 5: back and forth on wondering if you guys, keeping Drake

178
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 5: May from being the starter is more so you feel

179
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 5: like Jakobe could win you guys more games, or if

180
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 5: it's you don't want Drake May to get hurt. Can

181
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: you can you clarify on as a head coach where

182
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 5: you stand on that.

183
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can. Look, you can't take insurance out on players.

184
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 2: And this is coming from a guy who was on

185
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: I R three times. So you can't you can't take

186
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: insurance out on players and look, once once Drake is

187
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: ready to go, or how we you know, kind of

188
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: evaluate the quarterback position, he'll go out there and play.

189
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: We can't sit here and say, well, you know, the

190
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: O line, this line that if Drake is the better player,

191
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: I mean, Drake wins the competition, he'll be the first

192
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: he'll be the starting quarterback. And once again, we have

193
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: to go back. This is the hard part. We have

194
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: to go back and look at the toll body of

195
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: work to see what that looks like going forward.

196
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 5: It does from the outside looking in, look like he's

197
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 5: pretty confident out there. Even last night when a shoe

198
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 5: fell off, he didn't miss a beat, He didn't pick

199
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 5: one target to just go out over and over again.

200
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 5: He didn't discriminate when it came to his receivers. He

201
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 5: seemed confident out there.

202
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: No, I totally agree with you. And he's going through

203
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: his reads and progressions and every every day he's gotten

204
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: better and and I'm you know, I'm proud of him

205
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 2: really for the way that it's a testament to his

206
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: work ethic and just you know, Wanning get better and

207
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: I hope it continues.

208
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: Well, maybe you can clear this up from your perspective because.

209
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: There's not much confusion. There's so much.

210
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: Confusion, a lot of confusion, and there's.

211
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: A lot of smoking mirrors. There's a lot of smoking

212
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 2: mirrors too, but helping.

213
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 3: It's Monday, either, it's always harder on a Monday. And

214
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: you what times you guys get back like three last.

215
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: Night and yeah, we got better say them around four

216
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: in the morning. But I'm on the radio with you guys. Thanks. Helman's.

217
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, when it comes to issues that Drake may may

218
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: have had last night, when when it came to the

219
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: snap or prior preseason game, you put those more on

220
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback, the center, the operation like.

221
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: We'll have we'll have a conversation today about it. But look,

222
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: it's always two people anytime the snap is on the ground,

223
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: it's the center and the quarterback or the center or

224
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: the quarterback, and those are things that fundamentally frustrate you

225
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: and fundamentally we just have to get right. There were

226
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: too many times last night that we were just going backwards,

227
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: whether it's a bad snap or whether it's a pre

228
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: snap penalty. And we have to clean that up if

229
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 2: we want to have a chance to win football games.

230
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: And you know, we've always said the saying around here

231
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: has always been you can't win until you keep from losing.

232
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: And last night was one of those instances where we

233
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: just couldn't get out of our own way, you know,

234
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: over one hundred and fifty yards of penalties, you know,

235
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: and really they were. The penalties were being called on

236
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: both sides of the ball. And one thing I would

237
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: say is we always operate under you know, let's do

238
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: business as business is being done, and failed to do

239
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: that last night. And it's my job ultimately to make

240
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: sure that we have a disciplined football team out there

241
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: that that is fundamentally sound and doesn't have those pre

242
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: snap type of times.

243
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: All right, speaking of Hellman's time, now for the Hellman's

244
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: Male question of the week, Which rookies progress so far

245
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: this season has impressed you the most?

246
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: Coach? I guess the easy answer would be Drake May,

247
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go with Polk. I'm gonna go with

248
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 2: Peas because I think he is a he has the

249
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: chance to be a very good football player and has

250
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: natural leadership instincts and he's been a very impressive guy

251
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 2: thus far.

252
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: Jered real quick, who who are the leaders on this team?

253
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I'm assuming David Andrews the leaders. Who's

254
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: standing out so far?

255
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean one thing I would say is that's

256
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: for the players to decide, and I believe that the leaders,

257
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: the captains, should be voted on by their peers. I

258
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 2: know who who's in my mind is being there are

259
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: great leaders on the team. But that's that's to the

260
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: that's for the team to decide, and we'll see going forward.

261
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: Gerald.

262
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: One thing I don't subscribe to you know that you

263
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 4: know some people might have around here, is you know,

264
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 4: first shiar head coach, all the coaching staff is new.

265
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 4: You talked about pre snap penalties and a lot of

266
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,119
Speaker 4: the times, you know, at least from my playing experience experience,

267
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 4: pre snap penalties is about guys focusing in and locking

268
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 4: in and understanding what's going on. What what do you

269
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: see You talked about it a little bit. What do

270
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 4: you think is leading to some of those pre snap

271
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 4: penalties that maybe because you talked about telling them over

272
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 4: and over and over and the referees made mentions about

273
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 4: certain things. What do you think has been a factor

274
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 4: into that, just maybe the players not focusing in enough.

275
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, when you hit it on the head,

276
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: that's what it is. It's about maintaining focus. The average

277
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: the average time of the play is five seconds, right,

278
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: And so I tell the guys all the time, all

279
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: I need is five seconds of concentration and extreme focus

280
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: sixty to seventy times a game and we'll be okay.

281
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: But it was our first road game, and you know,

282
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: I would say there were definitely some hiccups and we

283
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: just can't afford to do that here going forward. But

284
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: you're right, it's about focus.

285
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 5: So, Gerard, what's your day like today when you look

286
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 5: at watching film from last night, making sure that Jacoby

287
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 5: Brissett is taking care of figuring out his injury and

288
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 5: then picking a starting quarterback by tonight.

289
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we'll have an injury meeting here in a

290
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: few hours, you know, to see how we came out

291
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: of the game. I would say, we'll have conversations about

292
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: every position. We'll have conversations about you know, the the

293
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 2: away game operation, will haveversations about all that. And it's

294
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: a very difficult time, I would say here over the

295
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: next couple of days, because you know we have to

296
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: we have to release players, and I know the practice

297
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: squad is a little bit bigger now, but the team

298
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: will not look the same that it did last night.

299
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: And that's a that's a tough part of the business.

300
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 2: But I think the guys recognize that. But that's what

301
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: we're going to be doing here over the next couple

302
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: of days. And then I'm going to call in on

303
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: Wednesday and I'm going to tell you guys who the

304
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: starting quarterback is.

305
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, I'm just playing to.

306
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 3: Do for us. I mean, probably get us off on

307
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: the right foot.

308
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, are we on the wrong foot?

309
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: No?

310
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, not at all.

311
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: Coaches, I would just love to I mean, Winky has

312
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,240
