1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: All right, Bill, thanks for the time as always. Um, 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,039 Speaker 1: I didn't get to ask last night, just the fourth 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: down decision midway through the second quarter, what were the 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: factors just based on the way the game had unfolded 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: to that point that you were balancing in making that decision. Yeah, 6 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 1: need a couple of yards, like we could make it. 7 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: And is there any thought at that point in the 8 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: game about possessions like a two possession game or is 9 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: it just so early in the game that that's not 10 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: really part of the thought process there to make to 11 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: get within two two scores? H the thought was it 12 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: trying to score a touchdown, So that's what we're trying 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: to do. And then, UM, I was just open I 14 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: could ask you just to maybe clarify just one answer 15 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: from last night, UM, when when Mark Daniels had asked 16 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: you about Jarrett and about his two relief appearances and 17 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: just if you were happy with this development and what 18 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: you've seen from him this season, And at the end 19 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: of the answer, I think you had mentioned that that's 20 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: not really the point, and I was just wondering, what 21 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: was the point, um, in the context of that back 22 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: and forth. Care Sometimes there's situations in a game where 23 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: you can put somebody in, but we're trying to We're 24 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: trying to win the game. So that's that's what we're 25 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: here for, is to win the game. So it was 26 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: the opposite situation last week with the Chargers, but the 27 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: points to try to win, I mean, that's that's what's 28 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: important to us. Next question, Michael Hurley, fall back Chris Ryan, 29 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: hey Bill. The first three or four possessions of that 30 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: game were obviously big. After that, it was a pretty 31 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: competitive game Outside of that, I was wondering, with some 32 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: time to think about it, how it was that that 33 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: they came out the way they did with their chunk 34 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: yards chunk plays and to get ahead so so quickly. Well, 35 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: they had a long run that you know, we obviously 36 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: didn't play very well. We're in a zone defense and 37 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: we went for a lot of yards and we're in 38 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: a scoring zone and they ran ran an interception back 39 00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: for a touchdown. So next neck Christian Chris Ryan fault 40 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: by beIN pull I built. UM. Wanted to get your 41 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: evaluation of the overall consistency of the group this year 42 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: and UM, where you think, um the issues lie with 43 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: that potentially? Yeah, I think we've we've pretty consistently gotten 44 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: better over the course of the season, you know, from 45 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: about I don't know, a week five or six somewhere 46 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: in there. I'm in the first six weeks, five weeks 47 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: or it was a different situation. But yeah, we've gotten better. 48 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: Score last night was what it was. But you know, look, 49 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: they're a good team and we fell beyond. It's a 50 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: hard team to it's a hard team to play from 51 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: behind against. And you know, I mean, they're a good 52 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: football team. They've got a good pass for rush and 53 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: do a good job on early downs of you know, 54 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: control in the wall, and so that there better than 55 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: we were last night, and that was obvious. So you 56 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: feel the last night was a step backwards per se, 57 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: It was just about more about the rams than it 58 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: was about you building the way you want to build. Yeah, 59 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: I never said it was a step backwards. They were 60 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: better than us last night. Thanks. Next question, Ben Vallan, 61 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: followed by Mike Fiori. Good Morton, Bill Um, real quick um. 62 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: After a flight home and watching the video, is your 63 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: thought still the same that Kim as your quarterbacker? Is 64 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: there any chance you might open it up to Jared. Yeah, 65 00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: I've answered that question for the last time, okay. UM. 66 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: On a different note, I wanted to ask you about 67 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: Ray Perkins, who passed away the other day. Um. He 68 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: was the offensive coordinator here in New England in the 69 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: mid nineties. And then if you you know, some some 70 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: areas of the of the internet, they say that the 71 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: Patriots have run the air Hart Perkins offense over the years. UM, 72 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: I'm just curious if you could talk about Ray Perkins 73 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: and maybe the impact he's he's had on the offense 74 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: here and the Patriots. Well, I'll start with myself. UM. 75 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: You know, Ray gave me an opportunity and in seventy 76 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: nine to go with the Giants and that was, you know, 77 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: a life changing moment for me. So UM, I've always 78 00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: been deeply appreciative and um of that offered unity and 79 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: have a ton of respect for Ray, and I learned 80 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: a lot from him in those four years with the Giants. 81 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: We developed a very close relationship and you know, I 82 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: appreciate all that he did for UM that program, which 83 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: was terrible when he took over in seventy nine too, 84 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: you know, make it a highly competitive team in eighty 85 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: one and eighty two was a strike ear and then 86 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: when coach Parcels took over. You know, he built that 87 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: into you know, a championship organization. So um certainly built 88 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: did a tremendous job there and and deserves all the 89 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: credit that he's gotten for the two championships and for 90 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: the growth of that franchise. But um, I think he 91 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: would tell you and I'd certainly say that, you know, Ray, 92 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: Ray had a lot to do with you know, setting 93 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: the tone and the first you know, four years of 94 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: that development from seventy nine to eighty two, when you 95 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: know that team and that franchise was obviously at the 96 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: very bottom of the league. Um. You know Ray was 97 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: as a former player and coach, he had a good 98 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: perspective on the game. Um. You know, played for two 99 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: two of the greatest coaches of all time. UM, and 100 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: you know his his level of competitiveness and toughness was 101 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: not as good as anybody I've ever been around, you 102 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: know with the Patriots, I mean, the the terminology and 103 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: so forth that Ray and Ron used under coach fair 104 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: Banks here in the late seventies early eighties. That then 105 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: came to New England with Ray and with Bill because 106 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: Bill came from New England too. After the eighty season. Uh. Yeah, 107 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: certainly the terminology and a lot of the uh, you know, 108 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: fundamentals of of um our offensive system are still found 109 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: um you know, foundations is still in that that offense 110 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: from Ray and and uh and Ron back in like 111 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: I said, the late seventies under coach fair Banks. So 112 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: he had a he had a big impact on my 113 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: life and um my career and uh, I have a 114 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: ton of respect or Ray, his family and my personal 115 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: you know, sympathies go out, go out to them, and 116 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: you know, as part of the Patriots family, of course 117 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: we organizationally, you know, feel the same way. So it's 118 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: a good man and a good coach and man who 119 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: really loved football. And it's very successful at a lot 120 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: of different levels. College player, pro player, college coach, pro coach, 121 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, even build a program at Jones Community College there. 122 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: So it's very loyal, loyal person that, as I said, 123 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: I have a ton of respect for. And so we're 124 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: very sad. They're sad news that we have two days ago. Well, 125 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: thank you for sharing and sorry for your loss. Next 126 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: question by Charity Fall by Phil Perry Bill Worry. A 127 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: year and a half into into Jared being with the team, 128 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: do you know exactly what you have in Jared, and 129 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: could you share what you think that is? And I 130 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: think I've talked about that multiple times, young young players, 131 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: an ascending player in your mind. Yes, what are some 132 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: of the things that he's shown you in year two 133 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: with obviously an odd offseason that leads you to believe 134 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: there's still plenty of growth that's happened and more to come. Yeah, 135 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: all the things that we've talked about, It's true most 136 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: every second year player, knowledge of our system, knowledge of 137 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: the league, building good habits, building good fundamentals, gaining experience. 138 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: Those things are true for all players at that stage 139 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: of their development. And how do you think that he's 140 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: handled being Cam's back up so obviously, you know, not 141 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: the way the spring looked and looked like maybe he 142 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: was going to be the guy. Now Cam gets signed 143 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: in June or whatever it was. And how's he handled 144 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: that that process? Jared's done everything we've asked him to do, 145 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: and he's done everything that he can do, and that's 146 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: I don't think you can ask any more of that. 147 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: Thank you, Bill, looks like the last question me, Philip 148 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: Perry grateful he can mentioned last night on the interception 149 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: return for a touchdown play that if he could have 150 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: had that one back, he would just spike it essentially 151 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: and live to see another down. I'm curious, how would 152 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: you assess what you've seen from him as far as 153 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: decision making goes. Yeah, that was a tough play. Donald 154 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: made a good play, you know, knocked Damian off. I mean, yeah, 155 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: he could have thrown into the ground, but I don't 156 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: know why he would have thrown it into the ground. 157 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: It wasn't Yeah, it really wasn't that kind of play. 158 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: It just it's just one of those things that, like 159 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: I said, Donald made a good play, knocked the timing 160 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: off a little bit, you know, just a tough situation. 161 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, sure if we had known that would have happened, 162 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: we could have called a different play too. You know. 163 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: That's that's one of those things that you know, we 164 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: had a few of them last night, plays that we 165 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: just didn't just didn't work out for us, didn't execute well, 166 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: or you know, a bad call at the bad time, 167 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: or you know, whatever it was, and you know, the 168 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: results were what they were. And one late question here, 169 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: Dan road Will gets the final question. I really apologize 170 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: you've been asked this stuff before. But um, just did 171 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: you get clarity on the Miles Briant interception as to 172 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: why he was ruled down? And just curious you would 173 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: know this way better than I would have. Is it 174 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: a continuation play that would possibly get him allowed them 175 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: to get up and go in that situation? Yeah, Well, 176 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: the officials made the call, and they went and reviewed 177 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: it and came back with, you know, the call after 178 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: the review. So I think they explained it when they 179 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: gave the call then that we can't really hear that 180 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: down in the field. But I mean, whatever, you know, 181 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: whatever Rolestead said happened, and that's what he saw happen, right, 182 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: Didn't he give an explanation of the play? I mean 183 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: he overturned the they were ruled to play, didn't Didn't 184 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: he give an explanation? You know, because you know with 185 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: the rule book, it can be one of those kind 186 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: of you know, gray areas. I'm just from your perspective 187 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: what you think in regards to a guy he never 188 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: hit the ground and he was he took the ball 189 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: from him, but was in the process of and then 190 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: get in the process of getting up. What do you 191 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: mean never hit the ground? Well, Myles, I mean Miles 192 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: never hit the He hit the ground, but the player 193 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: he as he was taking the ball, it was close 194 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: as to whether or not the player that he took 195 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: the ball from was touching him, you know what I mean. 196 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: Once he clearly got possession of the ball and took it, 197 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: that's all right. Yeah, I think we all understand it's 198 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: a close play. The officials reviewed the play and gave 199 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: an explanation for what they saw, So, I mean, what 200 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: do you want me to say? They gave the explanation 201 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: of the call. That's you know, we also didn't hear 202 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: the explanation, bill because when they came back on TV, 203 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: they just came back with you guys at the line, 204 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, at the wherever he intercepted the ball. So 205 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: I think that's also part of it why there was 206 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: some confusion on our end. Who weren't at the stadium, Well, Mike, 207 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: it was no better where I was, because when they 208 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: announced that over a loudspeaker, whether or it's in our 209 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: stadium or any other stadium, you really can't hear what 210 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: the officials saying. And so you know, I can't tell 211 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: you what he said because honestly I couldn't hear it. 212 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: They told us they were going to spot the ball 213 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: on the whatever it was, the thirty three yard line, 214 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: and that was it. I mean to play at ben reviewed, 215 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you help me to do? I 216 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: couldn't challenge it. I mean, so whatever the call was, 217 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: the call was, if you have a question about it, 218 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: you should ask them. Yeah, And we thought about it. 219 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: I think in the end we just figured if they 220 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: spotted it there, they must have saw that he was 221 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: ruled down. So that was the thought process that on 222 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: that end. So I just more wanted egg the perspective 223 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: from this end, and it's great to hear your perspective 224 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: on how that works, you know, from the sidelines. So thanks, 225 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: thank you coach, Thanks everyone,
