1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: We'll start worth Nickomley, and I encourage others to raising him. Please, 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: Hey Bill, um on the goal line yesterday we saw 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: um and we saw recent games. You guys are going 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: with the splipback pro look, which is I guess it's 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 1: more of an eye formation was more in vogue these days. 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: What makes you guys go to a more sort a 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: sort of a throwback look in that situation? Um, yeah, 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a throwback look. It's Oh, we're 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: in it because we think it's the best thing for 10 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: us to do. Nick, you want to keep asking questions? 11 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: Sure thing? Um? Uh yeah, um souh. After two games up, 12 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: Billy is the starter? Where do you see the starting 13 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: quarterback situation? Who do you expect to be the starter 14 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: once Mac Jones is healthy? Well, we'll see how that 15 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: process is. Max Dolson able play yesterday, so um, you know, 16 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 1: we'll continue to valuate him and and you know, see 17 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: how he's doing physically. Thank you. My next question Karen 18 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: Greigne follow at the quarter Randall, Good morning, Bill. I 19 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: was just curious about a ball that Marcus Jones picked 20 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: off and was questionable by the sideline. Did you decide 21 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: not to challenge because you were getting the ball back 22 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: hunting in that scenario, all right, that was part of it. 23 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: It was pretty far down the field. It was big, 24 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: would have benefit of guild position change. That was part 25 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: of it. And and we just weren't sure on the 26 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: on the lookout that we didn't get a good look 27 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: at it soon enough. We just weren't sure that it 28 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: was that we absolutely had to catch anyway. So it 29 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: was really honestly not much of a decision there. And 30 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: also just with respect to the rookies playing in the 31 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: defensive backfield, is it a situation where you know they're 32 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: basically learning every single game and you have the confidence 33 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: to put them out there. Well, every rookie is learning 34 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: in every game at this point. And these guys have 35 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: only played this is that was their sixth NFL game 36 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: or less, So there's there's a lot for them to 37 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: learn every week as they play new players, face new quarterbacks, 38 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: new offensive coordinators and schemes, and we have to build 39 00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: through our defensive system of adjustments and things like that. 40 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: So there's a there's a ton for them to learn 41 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: at every position every day, every week. Those guys have 42 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: a long, long learning curve ahead of them. That they're 43 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: on and gaining ground on. But so it's a marathon 44 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: and we're barely in the first mile. Yeah, are you please? 45 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: Basically how each rookie has kind of handled the next 46 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: man up mentality and you know allowed you to, you know, 47 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: get away with sticking quite a few of them in games. 48 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: All right, Well, I think all of our players um 49 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: have worked hard and try to prepare well and be 50 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: ready when they're called on. That's sometimes unpredictable on how 51 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: it's going to go, but I think that's what what 52 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: you do as a player and what you do as 53 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: a team is is you prepare to do your job, 54 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: and then you step in and are ready to go 55 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: and do the best you can when when that opportunity comes, 56 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: not knowing when that's going to be, or for how 57 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: long it's going to be, or anything else, But that's 58 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: that's really true for everybody, doesn't matter what what year 59 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: they're in, or what position they're in or they play. 60 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: Rather it's it's the same for all of us. Thank you, Bill, 61 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: Welcome and thanks Christian Dacot random filled by Chris Ryan Morning.

Oh, no question, Yeah, DG gives us good leadership. Um, 70 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 1: very professional, always prepared, ready to go.

Um, he's a 74 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: good football player. Glad we have him. Thank you, You're welcome. 75 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: Next Christian Chris Ryan fell about Hi him bizarre morning Bill. 76 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: How are you all right? Good hum Chris? Sorry sorry Chris, Yeah, no, 77 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: brom Um, just Bailey for a second. Because there's been 78 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about whether the offense has been 79 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: kind of condensed and less complex for him, more run oriented. 80 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: Do you feel that the offense has been less complex 81 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: and you've you've taken some steps to make him more 82 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: comfortable and allow for and have more success. Well, we 83 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: always try to do we feel like gives us the 84 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 1: best chance to win and gives our team the most success. 85 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: So we'll always do that. I don't think that'll ever 86 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: change no matter who's playing, or who we were playing 87 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: or anything else. UM. And we've we've made some had 88 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: to make some in game adjustments the last several weeks 89 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: based on how things have shifted either during the game 90 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: or UM or the game plan that our opponents have 91 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: used against us. And so that's that's also part of 92 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: it as well that that's football, So it's not about 93 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: any one player necessarily. It's about being able to do 94 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: what you need to do as a team to competitively 95 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: play and went on the field. I had a question 96 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: about Jim Brown as well as reading you know, after 97 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: you spoke last night about the fact that you had 98 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: visited UM some prisons with Jim Brown and had taken 99 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: a real interest in your social justice and some of 100 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: those those issues. And I was interested in, you know, 101 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: what led you to do that, and also um, the 102 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: type of figure that Jim Brown is from a historical perspective, 103 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: and how that weighed on you. UM. Sorry one more time, 104 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: Chris No, just UM, I had I had read last 105 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: night that you had visited some some prisons. Ima was 106 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: back when you were coaching in Cleveland, but you had 107 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: taken a real interest in that issue, and I was 108 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: interested in how, you know, what Jim Brown had to 109 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: say wait on you and kind of informed you and 110 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: how you deal with players on those topics, right, Um, yeah, so, um, 111 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: So my relationship with Jim started, um when I was 112 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: the coach at Cleveland. I think it was the second 113 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: year I had met Jim. Um when I was a 114 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: kid and went to the Browns training camps and you know, 115 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: our family was there, um and watched practice at hire 116 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: him with coach Brown and so forth. That that really 117 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: didn't have anything to do with it, um, But yeah, Jim, 118 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: Jim impacted me and uh in my life a lot. UM. 119 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: Spent a lot of time with Jim and learned a 120 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: ton from Jim. There's no way I could you know, 121 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: capture that in this short interview. That would be a 122 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: much longer one. But uh, you know, Jim's presence, his 123 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: ability to relate to all people, to guide people, to 124 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: have leadership and perspective on on so many things in 125 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: life is really incredible. I kind of put him in 126 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: a class by himself there as I think most other 127 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: people would who know him well. UM, and he impacted 128 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: us a lot at Cleveland and the growth that we had. UM. 129 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: Obviously that didn't end too well, you know, with the 130 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: team moving in the middle of the ninety five season 131 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: all that, but you know, he gave us a great 132 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: leadership and perspective even in tough times. And then I 133 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: maintained a relationship with Jim. Jim and his mayor. I 134 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: can program is a fantastic program. I've seen it in work. 135 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: It work in many different UM environments. UM. You mentioned 136 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: prisons and other ones, not just that, but you know, 137 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: even just on a m on many other levels including UH, 138 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: we've used Jim's American program here at the Patriots very 139 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: successfully and UM, you know with I think strong results 140 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: UM organizationally and for the specific people they worked with. 141 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: So UM. Anyway, it's you know, Jim's impact for me 142 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: and for us, as you know, been very strong. But 143 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: what he's done for UM, you know, really everything he's 144 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: been involved with is pretty pretty remarkable. He's a very 145 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: special man, and he's trained and taught so many people 146 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: who have then taught taken his work out and just 147 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: exponentially expanded. Um, you know, all the great things that 148 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: he believes in and stands for. So we could go 149 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: on and on here, but I'll leave it at that. 150 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: Thanks for the question, Chris, Appreciate it. Appreciate Thank you 151 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: very much. You're welcome. The two final questions of those 152 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: are in your future. Hey, so Chance, I wanted to 153 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: ask it. You know, we're so used to seeing you 154 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: guys have a traditional fullback on the roster, and this season, UM, 155 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, maybe moved away from that a little bit. 156 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: But I just wanted to know what that process has 157 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: been like and how you guys have been able to 158 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: schematically just you know, change things here a little bit 159 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: able that and fullback. H well, there were certainly plenty 160 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: of places in the past where we haven't had a 161 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: fullback on the field, but there were someone we did. 162 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: It just really came down to, you know, our depth 163 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: as a football team at the skill positions at running back, 164 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: at a receiver, at tight end and UM, and how 165 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: much time you can You don't have so much time, 166 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: you don't have so many plays, and so you have 167 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: to make a commitment to something and whatever you make 168 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: a commitment to. Um, lessons your commitment somewhere else. So 169 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: we decided to make our commitment to the skill players 170 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: without a fullback and to work around some of the 171 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: things that that position gives. But there are also some 172 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: things that you lose when you have a fullback end 173 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: the game. And and so we feel like that in 174 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: the long run, um, we're just we're just gonna be 175 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: better doing it the way we're doing it. So through 176 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: final brushing your feature her Morning Bill Morning, I want 177 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: to ask you. I want to ask you about a 178 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: Hun who obviously had a good day in terms of 179 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: the past catching but also contributed to unit run game 180 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: UM for example like a Tyke one second touchdown. So 181 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: what do you see from him yesterday? And also how 182 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: what do you see from him in terms of how 183 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: he'd feel the ways that have sent downs throughout the 184 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: first few weeks up to see them. Yeah, Hunter has 185 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: really done a good job for us. Honestly since the 186 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: day he walked into the building. He's very professional, smart kid, 187 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: has worked hard, you know, on and off the field, 188 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: works hard in the weight rooms. You know, gained a 189 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: lot of strength and you know, improved all that you 190 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: know as a football player. He's very instinctive, knows what 191 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: to do, can recognize problems and identify quickly on the 192 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: field and make a good decision to do the right thing. 193 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: His blocking has has really improved this year. He's done 194 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: a really good job for us in the blocking area 195 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: and against these teams that are playing the overfront, so 196 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: the defensive end at the end of the line, you know, 197 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: some tough blocking assignments there. He probably has the toughest 198 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: matchup on the field on a lot of the running plays. 199 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: So you know, sometimes teams are a little over aggressive 200 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: on the running game and that gives us opportunities in 201 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: the past game, which we got last week, you know, 202 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: on the in the opening of a Detroit game. And 203 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: then you know the short yardage touchdown yesterday. Um so uh, 204 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: as you said, he really helped us on the on 205 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: the suite to Taekwon for the touchdown. This Hunter is 206 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: a good all around football player. Um. Going all the 207 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: way back to I followed him back to his high 208 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: school days at Plasgate Academy with coach Kelly and then 209 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: in Arkansas with coach Biellmo and then um, you know, 210 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: obviously we didn't get a chance to draft him, but 211 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: it got him as a free agent and glad we 212 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: have him. He's been a great addition to our team, 213 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: to our organization on and off the field, and uh, 214 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: really just an exceptional player, an exceptional person that does 215 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: everything we've asked him to do for you know, the 216 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: year and a half that he's been here. So yeah, 217 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: he's he's very very very professional player that that um, 218 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, is a great addition to our football team. 219 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: Thanks Hill, Yep, you're welcome.
