1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Check joins us. We're going to open up with questions.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: We'll start with Mike breast fall by Chris Rock. Yeah,

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: I'll just start off here. Um, look, Falls, I apologize

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: of you know, I seemed like I was a little

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: short with you after the game. Um, you know, obviously

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: a frustrating game down twenty to nothing, didn't do anything

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: well enough. I mean, there isn't really much to say

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: at that point without watching the film. Clearly we had

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: problems in every area, so you know, there was no

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: no simple answer, and you know, every play could have

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: been better, every every area of coaching could have could

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: have been better, every area plane could have been better,

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: and any of that would have helped. So um, you know,

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: not not really trying to be short, but honestly, there

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: wasn't too much to say. I don't know that there's

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: a whole lot more to say now, but you know

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: it's not your fault. That was a frustrating game. M

18
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: good night. We'll open up questions, so we'll start with

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Mike Reeves followed by Chris Ryan. Thanks Bill, Um, just

20
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 1: on the game. I was just going back through it. Um,

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you how much consideration was there

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: for an onside kick there. Um, I'm looking at it

23
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: right after the score to make it twenty seventeen. Um,

24
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: And were you okay with sort of I mean, obviously

25
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: you kicked it off. Was that sort of was that

26
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: sort of the way on the kickoff? Were you looking

27
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: for a higher kickoff deeper or was it just sort

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: of well returned by them the way that unfolded, I

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: was poorly executed on our part. That wasn't what we

30
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: were looking for at all. And eaty pentem back and

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: play the extra yards a field position, you know, tackle

32
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: him on a twenty and gain five yards a field

33
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: position and we need a field goal or you touch

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: back it and keep the extra seconds on the clock.

35
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: We didn't either. We didn't get the field position, and

36
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: we wasted five seconds, which at the end of the

37
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: game is another play. So like a lot of things

38
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: in the game, it was bad coaching, bad playing, bad execution,

39
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: just not not good enough. And on the you lost

40
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: a Galore and Nikkio in the game. And just on

41
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: those plays, any player safety concern for you on either

42
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: of those, yeah, talk to the officials. And then my

43
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: last one is just looking ahead to the bills, just

44
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 1: keeping the unusual nature of the conditions on December six.

45
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: How much does that affect the value of that tape

46
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: as you move forward and prepare for this game. Yeah,

47
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: certainly it affected the game. You know, it's still valuable.

48
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's the team we're playing two weeks ago.

49
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: So it affected the strategy and the kicking game affected

50
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: some strategy in the passing game. I don't know if

51
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: it affected the running game matchups a lot. Probably not so.

52
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean, like every game, it'll be a totally different game.

53
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: So we'll prepare and and see how it plays out.

54
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Sure they'll they'll do some things differently, regardless of what

55
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: the weather conditions are. They would make some changes. Sure

56
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: we would make some changes. Both teams have a game

57
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: plan element to the or style of play anyway, So

58
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: see how it goes. Next question Chris Ryan follow by

59
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: Nick from Aalley. What a bill? How are you? Chris?

60
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: But the obvious preface that you prefer to win that

61
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: game and find a way to win on Saturday night.

62
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 1: Are there any benefits to the type of a reset

63
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: that a loss like that provides a football team. Yeah,

64
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see. We'll see what happens this week,

65
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: get it. We usually don't focus too much on what

66
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: happened the week before, good or bad. After we get

67
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: through it and correct it and talk about it, focus

68
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: on the game that's coming up and try to prepare

69
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: the best that we can for it. So I don't

70
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: think living in the past and worrying about last week's

71
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: game all week and all the psychological effects and a

72
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: bunch of other garbage, like, I don't think that really

73
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: has anything to do with the Buffalo game. Either we're

74
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: going to prepare, prepare well, and perform well and execute

75
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: well in the game and make good decisions coaches and

76
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: players and all that, or well we're not. I don't

77
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 1: I don't really know it last week or two weeks

78
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: ago or some game, and you know, two thousand and

79
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: six had to do with it. I don't think any

80
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: of that hasn't a lot of bearing on it. It shouldn't.

81
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean maybe if I don't know, maybe if team's

82
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: not prepared to handle it, it would. I don't think

83
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: it should. I don't know why it should. That was

84
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: gonna be my next question. The guys have talked about

85
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: having a two and four mindset during the winning streak,

86
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: and do you you sense that you're deviated from that

87
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: type of a mindset collectively of being a little more desperate, focused,

88
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: detail oriented meet against that game and could that provide

89
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: an opportunity to change the trajectory. Yeah, I don't know.

90
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: Hopefully we have a good week of concentration and practice

91
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: and execution carry that through on Sunday, but we'll see.

92
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. Thanks, thanks question Chrystal Malley. Nickol Malley

93
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: followed the vineval Chris's actually m cousin. Hey, Bill, I

94
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: want to ask about the incident between Kyle Dugger and uh,

95
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: the receiver Pittman. Yes, um, and um what you saw

96
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: on that play? Um? And what's the reaction when you

97
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: start seeing tempers boil over like that and um and

98
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: ultimately leading to in ejection of the player like that. Yeah,

99
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: well we've talked about those situations, so we talked about

100
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: him every year. We talked about him, Um, you know,

101
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: multiple times over the course of the year. Um. You know,

102
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: I see what happened. Um. I'm not sure how anybody

103
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: else will see it, So it doesn't really matter what

104
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: I think anyway, But well, you know, we'll go through it, um.

105
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: Based on the rule. You know, I don't see why

106
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton wasn't ejected. I mean he pushed the

107
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: inn official that that was pretty clear, but that wasn't

108
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: called at all. I mean, that's a clear cut ejection

109
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: to me. Um. But the Dugger play, you know, Pittman

110
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: comes from behind, Kyle turns around, there's an exchange, and

111
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: you know Pittman's helmet was off. I mean he is

112
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: trying to put his helmet on as he approached Kyle

113
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the play, so it came up

114
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. I don't know, you know, Kyle knocked it

115
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: off or would have come off anyway or whatever. But

116
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, bottom line is both players got ejected, and

117
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: I would say I understand that. Whether I agree with

118
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: it or not, that's a whole nother discussion. I don't

119
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: understand why t Y Hilton wasn't ejected for contact and

120
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: official intentionally or unintentionally. That has no bearing on the play,

121
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 1: and those plays are reviewable and are reviewed, so I,

122
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: you know, I don't understand that when you'd have to

123
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: talk to the officials about that, they were the ones

124
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: that made the call. Think my next question, Ben Gollon

125
00:08:53,200 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: followed by George Collection Morning Bill with Omicron going around

126
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: like crazy. Are you guys taking any extra precautions this week?

127
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: What do you what do you expect this week to

128
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: be like? Preparation wise with that stuff going on, Ben,

129
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: I'd say every day is every day is a new day. UM.

130
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us know what they expect. UM.

131
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: We're following the league rules and protocols which have been

132
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: UM severe, uh you know, significantly enhanced or um, you know,

133
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: been more restrictive UM, which which I think we all understand.

134
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: But but we have to make adjustments and being compliant

135
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 1: appliance with them. And you know, we put up a

136
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: wall in our weight room over the weekend and things

137
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: like that, you know, to be in compliance like we

138
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: like we had last year. So what this week will bring, um,

139
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. Again, I don't really have

140
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: any say in this, but we'll continue to do the

141
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: best that we can to keep everybody as as safe

142
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: and distance and masked and protected as as we can.

143
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: It's certainly an imperfect situation with on multiple levels. So

144
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: what are we doing. I think we're doing the best

145
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: that we can. We're doing all that we can it's

146
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: it's not perfect. Will it be good enough? Will it

147
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: be good? I mean, you know, we'll see I mean

148
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: every day you kind of walk in here. And if

149
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: our medical people came in one day and said we

150
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: had twenty people positive, I don't think any of us

151
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: would be surprised. It's nice to hear that we have

152
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: no positives or we have no symptoms. Those are great

153
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: words to hear, but I don't think it would surprise

154
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: any of us if I mean, we've already seen I

155
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: don't know, five, six, seven teams whatever is you know,

156
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: have a wide ranging problem on their team between staff

157
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: and players or both. And who's next, you know, I

158
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe nobody, but it wouldn't surprise me for

159
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: it to be anybody. Are you guys mostly virtual this week?

160
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: Are you able to do meetings anything in person other

161
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: than practice? Of course? Right? So the league, the league

162
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: rules came out to go through today, and so I

163
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: would expect another some type of direction either today or

164
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: tomorrow as to what it will be this week. So

165
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: that's a check with the league. Gotcha, all right? Thanks? Welcome.

166
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: Next question Georgia black tea felled by Phil Perry, Hey

167
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: Bill going back to Saturday real quick, Can you just

168
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: explain the decision why to kick a field goal when

169
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: you're down two possessions with nine minutes left in the

170
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: fourth quarter? So I thought that was the best thing

171
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: for the team at that point. What makes that the

172
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: best decision for the team at that point? Got to

173
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: a one possession game? It was after kicking the field Ah,

174
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: you're talking about when it went from twenty yeah, yeah,

175
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: to make it Yeah. Oh I'm sorry. Um, yeah, well

176
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,599
Speaker 1: it's still a two possession game and now it's a

177
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: field goal, and um, you know, I thought there was

178
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: enough time left that we would you know, have enough

179
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: possessions to be able to score ten points, which you

180
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: know we conceivably could have. It would have been was

181
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: fourth and goal in the seventh. Is that what it

182
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: would have been? Yeah, when you kicked it and it

183
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: became twenty seven, was fourth and goal from the seven? Yeah,

184
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean I didn't feel great about converting

185
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: fourth and goal from the seven. Um, had there been

186
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: less time and um, you know it's situation at that

187
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: there's a point where you you would go for it

188
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: or I would go for it on fourth and goal

189
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: to seven? Absolutely, Um, I didn't think in that game

190
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: situation that that would have been the best decision. I

191
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: thought that would have you know, passed up three points

192
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: and and you know, then it would have taken two

193
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns and you know, you know, at the end of

194
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: the game, being able to, especially in the dome, have

195
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: a chance at a you know, fifty plus yard field goal. UM.

196
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's a lot better chance than

197
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, scoring a touchdown. UM. And you know, having

198
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: a six point differential. I suppose a three point differential

199
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: relative to the chances of converting the fourth and seven.

200
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: But at some point I definitely would have would have

201
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: kept the offense on the field and fourth and seven

202
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: with with less time or no timeouts or you know,

203
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean you can certainly take that scenario further. And

204
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: and so then you get into the grid area. You know,

205
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: which one would you do if it was you know,

206
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: less time, fewer timeouts, you know, whatever got you. Thank

207
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: you very much for cleming that up. Yeah, you're welcome.

208
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Next question, Philip Perry, h hey, bill, UM, wanted to

209
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: just ask about Mac and I know you have seen

210
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: him in a lot of different situations going back to

211
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: training camp and through you know, fourteen games now, Um,

212
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: but I don't know if the situation had you know,

213
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: if he's really seen that many situations in terms of

214
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: being down as many points as you guys were early

215
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: in that game. Maybe the Saints game is the closest thing.

216
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you though, if you if

217
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: you learned anything about Mac and how he handled the

218
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, mostly the second half of that game. UM yeah,

219
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean to me, until you get to the very

220
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: end of the game. Um, it's really not about the score.

221
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: It's about the execution of the play that's called and

222
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: try trying to trying to run good plays. So I

223
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: mean not going to score seventeen points in one drive.

224
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: You're not going to score seventeen points on one play.

225
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't I don't personally see the

226
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: you know what that has to do with it. Now,

227
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: there's a point where, yeah, the score and the amount

228
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: of time left and the number of possessions left and

229
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: all that, then that dictates the strategy. But we've been

230
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: in other games where we've been behind and they scored

231
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: seventeen points in the first half. I mean, I didn't

232
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: feel like we were incapable of scoring seventeen points in

233
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: the second half, but you know what it was they

234
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: were up by ten or down by seven teen, or

235
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: it's you know, about going out there and make having

236
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: good plays, making good decisions as a coach, calling good plays,

237
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: executing good plays one play at a time, and try

238
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: to try to get the game back to a competitive game.

239
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't until the game gets to the

240
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: point where it's you know, the strategy now becomes overriding,

241
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: which I didn't think it was like that at halftime,

242
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: um at all? Then I don't really, I mean, what

243
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: difference does it make? And the last question will be

244
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: chairs Hey, Bill, um, I hope you don't mind indulging

245
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: kind of a historical question, but um, you were talking,

246
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, just talking about game plans and matchups. Would

247
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: you would you share any memories of what's considered one

248
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: of your greatest game plans ever? I know, both all

249
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: the way back to nineteen nine and the Super Bowl

250
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: against the Bills. And the reason I ask is just

251
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: if it stayed with you in a way that it

252
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: taught you about, you know, doing something so against the Green,

253
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: or just something that stayed with you over the years

254
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: since then? All right, Well, I appreciate the question, Tara up.

255
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: But as I've said many many times, going all the

256
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: way back to when I was a coordinator, so that

257
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: would start back in you know, seventy nine special teams

258
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: with the Giants. Any success that we've had in the

259
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: kicking game as a coordinator on defense, as a coordinator,

260
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: as a head coach, is because the players went out

261
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: there and made the plays to help us win the game.

262
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: And you can excitote it all you want, but in

263
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: the end, players win games. Players make plays to win games,

264
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: and without good players and without good players making good plays,

265
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of games to be won. So

266
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: whatever remember strategy or game plans or plays that we used,

267
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: whatever they were in any game, ultimately comes down to

268
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: the players and their execution and decision making and fundamentals

269
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: on those plays. And that's really where I think the

270
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: credit in those games goes and should go, because they're

271
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: the ones that are doing it. And I've been very,

272
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: very fortunate through my career to coach a lot of

273
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,959
Speaker 1: good players, some great players, some of the greatest players

274
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: in the history of the game, and a lot of

275
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: very very good players and good role players and players

276
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: that complemented each other, and whatever games we won, whatever

277
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: success we had, was the result of those players, and

278
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: they're fundamentals, their decision making and their overall level of

279
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: execution and awareness and in some cases communication, in a

280
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: lot of cases communication because of the team working, the

281
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: involvement of multiple players on a successful place. It's not

282
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: one guy doing. It has to be a whole offensive

283
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: line blocking or defensive front seven stopping the run, or

284
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: a coverage and a pass rush working together, or you know,

285
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: blocking on a punt return, or whatever it happens to be.

286
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: So that's that's my view of the world on that.

287
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: Thank you for asking, Thank your coach, Thanks everyone, Thank

288
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: you
