1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Hey, Bilt Moran, how were doing good? Um? All around?

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: Disappointing result last night, and um, I just wanted to

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: uh ask you going into that game. I think he

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: said this last night. They essentially the plan was for

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: mac uh to just play those first three series. Is

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: that is that accurate? Uh? No, No, okay, We're gonna

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: play both quarterbacks and that's what we did. Okay, Bill?

8
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: But what so, just what what went into the decision

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: when it came to making the change for mac to

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: Billy's happy. All right, we made a change that was well,

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: that was what we were planning to do. So we

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: did that and in the game, you know, got out

13
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: of hand there in the third quarter, and so I

14
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: didn't feel like it was and the best interest to

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: put back back in the game. So Bill, when you

16
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: look at that, that's it. That's when you talk about

17
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: getting out of hand a little bit. When you look

18
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: into that situation about you know, you know, trying to

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: put a guy back in. It's a big part of

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: it at the time of possession because it seemed like

21
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: Chicago really you know, they were able to dominate in

22
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: that area. Do Zetta also go into the effect of

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: the thought process when you're, you know, potentially rotating guys

24
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: back in and out. It was more about the score

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: and the time was left on the game. Bill, I

26
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: know that there was talk that Max injury played into

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: this a little bit. Still, he said that he doesn't

28
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: like to put percentages on how far along he was.

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Did you guys have that conversation where he gave you

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: a percentage? And what was that? And did he tell

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: you that it was bothering him during the game and

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: that's why he came out when he did? No Coordney

33
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: is what I just said. It was that we had

34
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: planned on doing what we did, and that's what we did.

35
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: It appeared after the game, Bill that several of your

36
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: players were unaware of that plan. How would there be

37
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: such a lack of communication on such an important position.

38
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: I talked to the quarterback, start to the leaders of

39
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: the team, where everybody knew what the plan was. I mean,

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: not every single person. Obviously, I wouldn't talk to every

41
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: person about another player's role in the game. That's just

42
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: like they all have their jobs to do. But there

43
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: was no lack of communication. Bill, as you could continue

44
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: to progress throughout the season. Is this kind of the

45
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: approach that you, you know, feel like that you might

46
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: want to take moving forward until one guy really solidified,

47
00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: solidifies themselves as being able to take complete control. No,

48
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the situation at all. Bill. I

49
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: know you you you you preach uh, you know, eliminating

50
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: the noise and not paying attention to that noise, whether

51
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: it be fans or media. Um, but In you know

52
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: you've done this for a long time. Is it Can

53
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: it be detrimental to a player when it comes to

54
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: a confidence level if they are going into a week

55
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: not necessarily feeling like they are they're the guy, They're

56
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: they're they're the starter. Yeah, I don't know this leagues

57
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: about competition, We had a lot of competitive players on

58
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: our team. I've never really thought that was the case. Bill.

59
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: When you look at the defense, uh, it felt like

60
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Justin Fields was able to run all over the place. Uh.

61
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: I know you said after the game that it starts

62
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: with ching and then trickles down. How do you turn

63
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: this thing around on a short week as you head

64
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: into the Jets. We have a lot of things we

65
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: need to improve them last night, so start working on

66
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: them today. Bill. After looking at that, after looking at

67
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: that film, when you see like some of the plays

68
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: that Justin Fields was able to make. Do you think

69
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: it was more there was a few broken down plays

70
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: where he dropped back and he was able to pick

71
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: up some yards with his legs. What do you feel like,

72
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: defensively might have been your biggest issue to even allowing

73
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: those plays or some of the just the quarterback design

74
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: runs that led to him having that type of performance. Well,

75
00:04:46,960 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: I think yeah, A big problem really was third down. Um,

76
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: that's where a lot of big plays came. Those plays

77
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: kept her eyes going and kept us on the field

78
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: and let in more place. So when you place or

79
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: at least we done on third down, then that's that's

80
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: gonna lead do a lot of other problems. We had

81
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities to get off the field on

82
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: third down, and we weren't able to do it. Um

83
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: some scrambles, some extended plays that were passes, there was

84
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: a variety of things. But in the end, we were

85
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: on the field too long defensively because we couldn't get

86
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: off the field. We had a chance to get off

87
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: the field. Now, there were other problems on early downs

88
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: as well, but I mean ultimently, if you can't win

89
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: on third down, then you're gonna be out there all day.

90
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: And that's what happened. Were you able to see enough

91
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: last night from either one of those quarterbacks to determine

92
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: who your starter is this Sunday? Yeah, well we'll do

93
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: what we realize. That's for the football team. The Jets

94
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: are five and two. What have you seen out of

95
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: them that's made them so successful so far the season?

96
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: And I think they've improved in every area. They've added

97
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: some you know, some players to their roster and want

98
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: some close games. Um, you know, done, done the things

99
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: that you need to do win this league. Um. Yeah,

100
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: they've been impressive hill of Offensively, you guys have been successful.

101
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: It looks like, you know, in the play action area. Um,

102
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: when when you go into the game, is the mindset

103
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: that you kind of figure out like, well, you know, hey,

104
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: we're going to have thirty percent of the offensive game plan,

105
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: we want to try to have some play action or

106
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: is it something is more about the flow of the

107
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: game based on how you run in the football Yeah.

108
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: I think it's the same. Really, it's the same. Every week.

109
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: You go into the game with a game plan on offensive,

110
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: defense and special teams, and then as the game unfolds. Um,

111
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: you may or may not have to adjust that game

112
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: plan based on what our opponents are doing and and

113
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: how how things are working out. Um. So that's that's

114
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: it's it's really the same way every week. UM. What

115
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: the initial plans are are the initial plans. Sometimes it

116
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: goes close to that script, sometimes it doesn't, and you

117
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: have to make adjustments. That's that's the National Football League.

118
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: So each week it's, you know, kind of a similar

119
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: challenge and a similar way of doing it. Some some

120
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: weeks maybe are a little more predictable than others, But

121
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: in the end, we don't know what they're going to

122
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: do until we actually get into the game and see

123
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: what adjustments they made, what game plan they've used, and

124
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: how effective what we're trying to do is going to

125
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: be against that Maybe we don't have to change anything,

126
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: or maybe they've done something that's not conduce it to

127
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: what our thought process was prior to the game. Bill

128
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: After the game, Jacoby Myers said that it was an

129
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: ugly situation. He didn't like how Mac was treated when

130
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: he got pulled. Does it worry you or how do

131
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: you handle making sure that there isn't a split in

132
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: the locker room. Yeah, I didn't talk to Jacoby after

133
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: the game, so I'm not sure about all. Bill. Is

134
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: it a competition this week between the two quarterbacks or

135
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: could you foresee a scenario by which you enact the

136
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: same plan you used last night on Sunday against the Jets.

137
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: We'll evaluate the situation as we always do, and see

138
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: what the options are and take the ones the one

139
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: that we feel like is best both football team. Is

140
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: that the first time you've ever had a game plan

141
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: where you had a quarterback set to play three series

142
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: and then the backup set to go in As a

143
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: head coach? Uh No, And and that's again a fairly

144
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: I would say common, but it's at other positions. It's

145
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: a similar We've been through that in similar other positions

146
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: for again a variety of reasons. But yes, that's what

147
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: we feel like it's best for the team, and that's

148
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: what I think. That's that's a decision we're gonna make. Bill.

149
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: You always talk about the importance of practice, and you

150
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: know where guys like you said it is a competition.

151
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: Is there a specific day, whether it's Saturday walked through

152
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: where you know the team or maybe the captains like

153
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: you said in a specific player at the position knows

154
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: heading into the game based on uh, you know, where

155
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: his route, his reps distribution might have been through the week.

156
