1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: Joining us in the studio here at Gillette Stadium. Patriots 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: defensive tackle Lawrence Guy. I bet you're real happy that 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: your first Patriots Monday appearance is after that stinker yesterday. Huh. Well, 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: you know it's a hard one. But hey, you know, 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: good foot, good film to watch, the study fund to 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: make sure we just fix the mistakes that we had, 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, that's just all it is. We have to 8 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: fix them and play better. Now. Jacksonville normally a team 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: that runs the balls about as much as they throw it. 10 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: Once you found out Leonard Fournette was gonna was not 11 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: gonna play, were you thinking, all right, they may end 12 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: up passing a little bit more than normal. No, No, 13 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: their scheme is pretty much said. They want to run 14 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: the ball, they want to pass it when they have to. 15 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: One running back that's in determined the whole scheme. You know, 16 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 1: he was a big impact on their team. But they 17 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: still have great depth in their running back, so they 18 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,959 Speaker 1: had the trust in them and we expected the game 19 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: to be gold away. It was going to go as 20 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: you watched the film and what you've seen, was it 21 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: more mental mistakes or physical mistakes? Well, it's hard to say, 22 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, menst we're out there, We're trying to do 23 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: our best out there. You know, I just feel like 24 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: at a point that we just how to play better. 25 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: There are certain blocks that we could have played, certain 26 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: techniques we could have done better. They just came out 27 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: there and just played a little bit harder to play 28 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: a little bit more technique sound than we did, and 29 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: we should have came out there a little bit better 30 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: than we have. So, like I said, from that, we 31 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: said how to take those mistakes that we have it 32 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: on the field, those plays, and it's improve on it 33 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: in practice and improve on it with each other. But 34 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: we could come out next week successful. Now. Blake Bortles 35 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: is the guy who gets criticized a lot. You know, 36 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: he's sort of compared to a lot of the other quarts, 37 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: like bottom of the league quarterbacks, But he does present 38 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: a number of challenges, doesn't He of course is an 39 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: NFL starter, ain'ty. Yeah, But he's a good quarterback and 40 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: people don't understand that it doesn't matter what people say 41 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: about you when you go on that field, you're gonna 42 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: perform your best. And he goes out there every single 43 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: day and put out the most if he can. So 44 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: that's what we expected to get from him. That's what 45 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: we got from him. It doesn't matter what the critics say, 46 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the fans say. It's all about what 47 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: you put on the film. And he's going out there 48 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: every day giving everything he has. How are we doing? 49 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: What's up? Um? So Week one you play a mobile quarterback? Um? 50 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: You know coming into this game vers Jacksonville, Um, you 51 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: know I had said before the game that he's a 52 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: guy that could get out of the pocket and move 53 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: a little bit because he's fast. You know you saw 54 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: him running and putting his head down trying to lower 55 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: his pad level. Um. Going into this game, did you 56 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: guys have that same mentality of like not letting him 57 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: out of the pocket or was it a little bit 58 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: more Okay, let's let's get after this guy. Um, because 59 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: he's not as mobile as Watson the first week Week one, 60 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: now we're here the same, same, same style. This week one, 61 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: we wanted to make sure we kept him in the pocket, 62 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: make sure he doesn't scramble because, like you said, he 63 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: is mobile. He going to go through that b guy. 64 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: He's going to hit the edges. We saw it in 65 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: the a SEC Championship. He would he would get out 66 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: the pocket. So we came there with that mindset. We 67 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: didn't accomplish that like we did week one, and it 68 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: was a down on our house because that's something we 69 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: pride ourselves and make sure we contain a quarterback. How 70 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: about that temperature when I when it was ninety plus, 71 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: I was like, geez, that's gonna be a thick one. 72 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: Was that? Do you think that at the end there 73 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: that the humidity or anything? Oh yeah, it was. It 74 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: was hot. It was. It was hot. You take the 75 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: pads as you loosen up the straps so you could 76 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: breathe a little bit. Oh no, my jersey is so tight, 77 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: I can't loosen the pads. Well I was. I'm kind 78 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 1: of like thick in the midsection my whole life. So 79 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: like I'd wear an extra like a little bit bigger jersey, 80 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: and if it was that hot, I would just like 81 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: not strap up my air out. I would just know, 82 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: like your pads are strapped up like buckles, like belt buckles, 83 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: I would like rip them off, like I can't breathe, 84 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, because it's when it's that hot. I mean 85 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: that more than that, really it was you saw players 86 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: were going down Crams injury that it was hot. It was. 87 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: It was a very hot game. Hot and physical game. 88 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: That's what you're gonna get when my jersey's too tight 89 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: for me to loosen my straps. So it's one of 90 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: those things like I could I need two people to 91 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: put it on. Yea. Now is that to make it 92 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: harder for guys to get a hold of you? Yeah, 93 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: that's pretty much. The looser new jersey is at the 94 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: defensive linement, the more they got more to grab, the 95 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: tighter if they can't grab nothing. Oh but of course 96 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: they would get called every time if they grabbed you, right, 97 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: of course, you know, you know, everything gets called into transit, 98 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: you know, right now we were talking about some of 99 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: these other players. I don't know if you saw in 100 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: the Packers Vikings game some of the rules that are 101 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: in there now, not just the helmet rule, but the 102 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: you can't you know, land on the quarterback. So when 103 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: you're going for a sack, is it going through your mind, 104 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: I can only hit the quarterback in this specific spot 105 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: and I can't land on them. It seems like you 106 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: gotta be thinking a lot when you're you do. They 107 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: made the game too too much of thinking you know, 108 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: do I have to land to the side down to 109 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: him too hard to lower in my head. In my honesty, 110 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,559 Speaker 1: I think you just go out there and play ball. 111 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: That's all you can do. I shouldn't be at okay, 112 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: I have to worry about what spot at him the quarterback, 113 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: I should know it. I can't hit him in the head, 114 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: can't hit them below no knees, and should do it. 115 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: It's a physical game, and we all forget that. How 116 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: phys quoted this game really is. Is every dawn I'm 117 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: getting hit somehow, some way by two individuals. I'm gonna 118 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: child block, I'm doing something that's the physical game is 119 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: going to happen, So we shouldn't let to play. You 120 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: want to protect you your players on the field. You 121 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: want to protect your teammates. So nobody's out there trying 122 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: to hurt an individual. So if you see a blaking 123 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm trying to hurt track or understands throwing the call. 124 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: But if it's just a game, and when it's trying 125 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: to get a good hit or you're trying to get 126 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: to the quarterback, you should just let it ride. I'm 127 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: sure this defensive player over here is going to disagree 128 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: with you right, you're buying everything you saw. The people 129 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: that put in the rules, obviously they're trying to protect 130 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks because the quarterbacks are the product, and the 131 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: product makes money. So if you lose Aaron Rodgers for 132 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: the season, then people are like, well, I'm not watching 133 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: that game. It's not even who is at the backup. 134 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: So you know they're trying to protect the guys that 135 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: make the most money because those are the investments that 136 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: the owners have put into. They want to protect your investment. 137 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: So that being said, when you're a defensive player and 138 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: you're fighting blocks and it's maybe twelve players into a 139 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: series and it's third down, the second I'm able to 140 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: beat a guy and I see the quarterback, I'm just 141 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: trying to tackle him. I'm not trying to hurt him, 142 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: you know, like I'm trying to tackle the guy. We 143 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: saw Clay Matthews that affected the outcome of that game. 144 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: A clean hit on a quarterback. He really didn't drop 145 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: weight on him. I mean I've seen guys like I've 146 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: seen dropping weight and that's not what he did right there. 147 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: So he hit him, scooped him. Because when you tackle somebody, 148 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: especially a quarterback throwing the ball like you, when you're 149 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: making contact with him, your arms are gonna wrap around 150 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: him and you're gonna pull him into you. So when 151 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: they threw the flag there, that affected the outcome of 152 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: that game and they tied. So maybe down the road 153 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: here that game comes back into it haunts Green Bay 154 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: because of that one flag. So you know, I just 155 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: think that at some point the rules are being placed 156 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: by guys that have never played the game. So they're 157 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: just trying to look out for the guys that are 158 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: making the most money. Or if they have played the game, Lawrence, 159 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: they haven't played defense well points make money. Like Rob's saying, 160 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: it's one of those things, if you don't grab the 161 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: quarterback to arms and don't try to tackle him, you 162 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: could do the big bang situation. He just flickers the 163 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: ball off and he's known for that. If you don't 164 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: wrapp his arms and being into the ground, he's just 165 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: gonna flicker the ball off and that's gonna be a 166 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: ten yard fifteen yard short yard reception. That's what we're 167 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: not trying to do. We're trying to make sure that 168 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: he definitely get rid of the ball. We're trying to 169 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: make sure we tackle him like I said, you ain't 170 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: trying to hurt any person on the field. But we'll 171 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: not forget it is a physical game. How where is 172 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: it going to be on Sunday to see Matt Patricia 173 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: on the other side. No more to me. It meant 174 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: through so many teams already we all forget. I hang 175 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: multiple coaches all the time. I'm like, hey, re never me, 176 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: so just the same situation. It's like, hey, what it's 177 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: gonna go off there and try to play our best 178 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: and like, hey, do you miss us one more thing? 179 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm dropping weight. I would just like to say I've 180 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: as a defender, an offensive lineman who could be up 181 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: to three hundred and eighty pounds, we have somebody on 182 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: the patients that's that big. They're they're coached. If a 183 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: defensive guy falls or they're on a block and you fall, 184 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: they smear you into the ground, so they they drop 185 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: weight on you. Not a penalty, but it's not a 186 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: penalty an offensive lem it can spear me and hit 187 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: me as hard as he can and put all his 188 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,119 Speaker 1: weight on me, and I'm you know, obviously that doesn't 189 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: feel great. And but if you tackle a quarterback and 190 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: you do everything right, put your head to the side, 191 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: but you put a little bit of weight on him. 192 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: It's a flag. It's not fair. That's just not fair. 193 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,679 Speaker 1: Or the heads of the helmet stuff is all offensive players. 194 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: You've never seen a flag thrown, not a running back 195 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: put his head down. What's the defensive quarterback or quarterback 196 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: words for the same thing. First down, he put his 197 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: head down, You hit get them more on the back 198 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: of the head with his helmet. So it's like, who's 199 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: wrong there. So it's it's obviously skewed towards the offensive 200 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: side to score as many points as possible because his 201 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: points obviously sell tickets. Now, at the end of the day, 202 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: today is yesterday's game, over and done. You guys won't 203 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: even after today, you won't even talk about it again. Correct, 204 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: that's the whole mindset. We have to come in here, 205 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: watch our film at the unit, fix our mistakes and 206 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: improve on it the place that we did going on 207 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 1: and they move on to Detroit. That's what you gotta do. 208 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: You know, if you keep dragging her along, it's not 209 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: gonna haunt you. You need to let that, let that 210 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: week died move on to the next one. Continue to 211 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: do that every single week. That's all we could be successful. 212 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: We appreciate you coming down here because Trake couldn't come 213 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: down today, so we appreciate your substitute for thanks having 214 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: good to see you
