1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: And I thought we're about to have no questions. Over 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: the years, Coach is always pre special team, specialty, special teams. 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: How fitting, in a game where nobody really could get 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,399 Speaker 1: anything going offensively, the special teams came through with the 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: walkoff winning Yeah, man, that was clutch. I think the effort. 6 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: I think when you have Coach Belichick mentioned it earlier 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: this year, when you have a guy that can return 8 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: the ball, it makes everybody want to do more. It 9 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: makes the effort. You saw guys like the John Jones. 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how many plays he played on defense, 11 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: but he's playing on defense. We got other guys out 12 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: there that's playing and there are other roles on the 13 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: team and given just one hundred and ten percent effort 14 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: because we all know if you make a couple of blocks, 15 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: Marcus can do the rest. And to go out earlier 16 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: in the game and come back and just be ready 17 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: to go, locked in biggest moment of the game as 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: a rookie. And I think that's why we always talk 19 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: about everybody talks about experience. It's being ready to go, 20 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: it's knowing what you're supposed to do, and it's executing. 21 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: And Marcus did that, and you know, it's huge play 22 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: for us. I've never been a part of anything like that. 23 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: Great feeling, great team when but also a reminder that 24 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: this Wednesday, we gotta be ready to go for Thursday night. 25 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: All right, be honest, did you think this game was 26 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: going to overtime? And how much energy does the defense 27 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: bring to this football team? Yeah? Man, we had We 28 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: had an overtime preparations goal, and I think as a 29 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: as a defensive unit, that's what we have to do. 30 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: We gotta be ready for going to overtime and what's 31 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,919 Speaker 1: gonna happen next. But I think what was great today 32 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: was the defense continue to remind each other, remind each 33 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: other of plays we hadn't seen yet, of different things 34 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: that they could do um, and then just kept the 35 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: energy throughout the game. You know, it's tough to go 36 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: out there each time and play against a unit. You know, 37 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: this unit was productive last week or whatever with the 38 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: buye week playing against Buffalo, another really good defense. So 39 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: to continue to just play, play well and execute. Um. 40 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: It's something we talked about at this time of the year. 41 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: We got to do a good job execute and we 42 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: did that today and now we gotta we gotta use 43 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: this to spring forward and continue to execute throughout the season. 44 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: Dev You've played with a lot of good players here 45 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: on defense, including Steph when he was Defensive Player of 46 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: the Year. Just tell me about you know, what you 47 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: see out of Judeon and just it seems like every 48 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: week it's multiple huge place for you guys. Yeah. Man, 49 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: I would really just like to take a lot of credit. 50 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: You know, with Judon and Marcus Jones. They sit by 51 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: me every day in the squad room, and I've been 52 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: teaching these guys how to be pros. You know, Judon 53 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: needed a lot of help last year when he came 54 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: in to be a pro. Marcus Jones a rookie, So 55 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: he's going right on stride. But you know, I think 56 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: with Judon the level of preparation, energy, work ethic, he 57 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: comes in here every day since he got here a 58 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: year ago and just tries to outwork and outcompete everybody, 59 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: whether it's running up the hill, whether it's running and conditioning, 60 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, pass rushing, turning and running. Him 61 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: and Wise are always running around the field and practice 62 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: and it shows up ouch same thing. So I think 63 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: just with Judon's leadership and just going out there and 64 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: having a mindset each week that he's gonna have an 65 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: impact on the game. But I talked to him about 66 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: that earlier in the season, that he has that ability 67 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: for us as a defense to impact the game each 68 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: game early in the game. To go out there and 69 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: do it sets the tone for the defense. And the 70 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: way he's rolling, I think we're all just trying to 71 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: follow his lead. Kind of the same question. But when 72 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: it comes to Judean or having a really good pass rush, 73 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: how does that make your life easier in pass coverage 74 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: back there? When you have a front seven like that 75 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: that can fly around, how does that make your life 76 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: a bit easier? Yeah, it just marries up. I think 77 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: you saw even a little bit today where you know 78 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: Wilson was looking looking and then somebody gets there. So 79 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: it's always gonna be rushing coverage. Like if the pass 80 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: rush is great and you know, we're not getting on 81 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: our guys and making them hold the ball for the 82 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: half a second, it's not gonna work. And if they're 83 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: rushing and we're not, you know, it's just a great blend. 84 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: And I think we've worked hard together. If you come 85 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: to watch our practices, it's it's continuous conversation on the 86 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: side on how we can make things better, what we 87 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: need to do, And I think it's obviously the coaches 88 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: coming in with the game plan, but it's also the 89 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: players decide and like, all right, how can we also 90 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: make our impact? How can we fix things while we're 91 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: on the field together. It's just been a really good 92 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: blend this year. Not my prime question, but first, did 93 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: you take any grief for dropping the interception? Always always, 94 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: no matter what. But I'm happy j Jones following my lead, 95 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: so they can't just kill me. On the serious part, 96 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: As the game was going along and it was obviously 97 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: offenses were having problems, did you come a little bit 98 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: more urgent in terms of knowing that the defense just 99 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: could not give anything because it was going to be 100 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: that type of game. No, I just I literally like 101 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: to remind the guys to just do your job. I 102 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: think the tendency is to feel like that, like we 103 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: gotta do this, we gotta make this play, we have 104 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: no we just gotta keep doing our job, like the 105 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: players will come. And I thought today was a prime example, 106 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: like just keep doing your job as something will crack 107 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: and Marcus returns the punt, but if we go out 108 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: there now and we're worried about what we're doing on offense, 109 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: where we're not like and now you're like, all right, 110 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: I'm out here. I gotta jump this pass and get 111 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: an interception. Then they double move us in as a touchdown. 112 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: Now that that breaks us, you know, because this game 113 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: was the next score was probably gonna win. So I 114 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing when you're in games like this 115 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: is both sides of the ball. Just do your job, 116 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,119 Speaker 1: even on offense, do your job. We move the ball, 117 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: you know, pretty well today on offense. So I think 118 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: as a defense we need to have faith that they'll 119 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: come through and make the Playoffs said that for years 120 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: here that when we're playing well on defense, just keep 121 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: getting the ball back to the offense and they'll make 122 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: a play. Today the special teams made to play. But 123 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: I just think it's so key that everyone just keeps 124 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: doing their job and when it cracks and when we 125 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: have that play that needs to be made, it's made, 126 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: and then you have a chance to win the game. 127 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: Devin up Marcus returns the punt. It looked like Brendan 128 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: Mitchell to Marcus school or made some big blocks on 129 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: that play Jack Jones, it's a big plays in coverage. 130 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: Just as a leader on this team, what have you 131 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: seen in terms of growth from the rookie class to 132 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, I would say, I mean they've come 133 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: in here and they just played. You know, I think 134 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: it's it's pretty easy. Everyone always turns to the rookies, 135 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: like the rookies need to do this, and like the 136 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: rookies just need to play, and the leaders and the 137 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: veterans need to go lead and show them in an example, 138 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: like when you're young, you want to see what the 139 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: guys do in front of You want to see how 140 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: they take care of the bodies. You want to see 141 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: how they learn to play book. You want to see 142 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: how they understand checks. And I would say all those 143 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: guys schools, if you come in here, you'll see schools 144 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: chasing slate around, like what are you gonna do following 145 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: slate on the practice field. Same thing with Jack and Marcus, 146 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: like they're they're wood the corners and wood Jay Jones 147 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: or wood Jay Mills with Miles. So they're learning and 148 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: they're showing up on Sunday. So they just got to 149 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: keep doing that, and the veterans got to keep leading 150 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: by example. I realized the faces and circumstances change every year, 151 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: but you've obviously now beaten the Jets fourteen straight times. 152 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm curious, in a close game like this, does that 153 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: give you a small and tangible benefit just having a 154 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: belief that you know how to beat this team. No, 155 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: I mean each team's different, Each game is different. Um, 156 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: the game the game earlier this year, I don't know, 157 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: to combine turnovers in the game like that was a 158 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: big part of the game. Today really didn't have a 159 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: have any impact on the game. It was just you 160 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: gotta go and make a couple more plays in them, 161 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: and that's what it turned out. But you know, like 162 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots have played the Jets next year, and to 163 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: think that these two games will have an impact on 164 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: that game, it won't matter. M So it's just kind 165 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: of coming up with a game plan and executing and 166 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: today we just edged them out on executing a few 167 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: more plays than they did and that was a difference. Um. 168 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: I know you mentioned it a little bit off the top, 169 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: but I heard the guys talking locker about just getting 170 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: the bodies right for the short week. How important is 171 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: it to get things going right away? Tonight starting tonight. Yeah, 172 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: you gotta just realize a nice Wednesday, like it's it's 173 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: Wednesday already. So whatever you would normally do, you can't 174 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: do after a game. So you want to hang out, 175 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: you want to stay up like we we can't. We 176 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: got to reset and realize this is Wednesday. So I'm 177 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: gonna try to get ahead and you know, watch some 178 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: film tonight. But that's the gift of being thirty five 179 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: and being old, So just sit at home and watch 180 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: a couple of games. But it's huge. I think, you know, 181 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: the hardest thing in this league sometimes is dealing with 182 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: success to get a big win today, But I think 183 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: now at this time of the year, each win makes 184 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: the next game even bigger. So you know, it's great 185 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: today to come out get a win the way we did. 186 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: But we're gonna go play a tough team on the 187 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: road Thanksgiving. They're at home. I'm sure it's gonna be 188 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: rocking in there. They've been on a heck of a 189 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: streak this year winning football game, so we we're gonna 190 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: need our best game going into Minnesota. And you know 191 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: that's what I plan on bringing and trying to lead 192 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: to guys and we'll have a tough week, you know, 193 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: short week, not as much time in and practice time, 194 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: so they have to come from watching the film and 195 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: working together and then being ready to adjust within the game. 196 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
