00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,279

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 5: I feel the same way I did last week. I

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 5: love Mike Rabel. I think he's going to be a

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 5: fine choice for the coach. And I'm looking forward to

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 5: getting my balls busted by Mike Rails so that's what

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 5: he does.

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to him busting your balls. Maybe I'll

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 6: be lucky if he busted mind. But uh, I bought

27
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 6: a little prop today, guys. I had to do it.

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 6: I had to do it here.

29
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 4: It is this.

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: Some people, you know, they talked to talk, but I

31
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: walked the walk. This is it. I went out. My

32
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: kid was little.

33
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 6: We put them in a little Verable jersey. So I've

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 6: always loved Mike Rable. I know we hung on to

35
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 6: this special keepsake.

36
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 5: So do you throw anything away?

37
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know this one. No, but I'm glad I didn't.

38
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 7: Now.

39
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 3: I tried to get into it this morning. Paul wasn't.

40
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: Wasn't that easy.

41
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: So you know what you have to fun You show

42
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 4: up wearing that.

43
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 5: Now you can't do it. I was gonna say you should.

44
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 5: You should have him signed it, but we getting We

45
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 5: get in trouble for things like that, so we probably

46
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 5: shouldn't do that.

47
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 6: But but no, ID echo what Paul said. And I mean,

48
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 6: looking back through my my blogging days, Fred. I looked

49
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 6: and I found the exact day. It was in twenty

50
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 6: fifteen that I first said, you know, I love Mike Rable.

51
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 6: I think he'd be a great, you know guy to

52
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 6: follow up Bill. So I just feel refreshed today. I

53
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 6: feel like I you know, we've kind of put last season.

54
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 6: It feels like it's been what eight days, It feels

55
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 6: like it was a year ago.

56
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: At this point.

57
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 6: I'm excited to forget about that season and I think,

58
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 6: you know, this is what the team needs.

59
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 3: They need somebody to.

60
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 6: Come in and you know, right the ship, get everything

61
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 6: back on track. And I mean not just talking about

62
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 6: last year, but going back a couple of years when

63
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 6: it just felt like things were falling apart.

64
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: We couldn't put all.

65
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 6: Together, a lot of mistakes on the field, a lot

66
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 6: of those you know, Paul we has talked about them

67
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 6: winning close games like that stuff was out the window.

68
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 6: They you know, were self inflicted wounds here and there

69
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 6: for the last couple of seasons. So I'm just excited

70
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 6: for a breath of fresh air and to see what

71
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 6: Mike Crable's going to come in and do.

72
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean as far as setting the tone and

73
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 4: setting things up and so on. He's done it before

74
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 4: he knows what he wants to do. He's going to

75
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: hit the ground running in terms of those things. Now,

76
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: he still needs to hire an offensive coordinator and a

77
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator and get his staff together. But I got

78
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: a feeling he's got an idea about what he wants

79
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: to do with that.

80
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 5: So I have a feeling when we come back to

81
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 5: do the show conference, we're going to have a lot

82
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 5: more information, you know, along those lines. Yeah, maybe not everything,

83
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 5: but more information.

84
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

85
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 4: A lot of people are just assuming that Josh McDaniels

86
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: is going to be the OC. I don't know if

87
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: that's true or not. How do you feel about that?

88
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: It could be? I wouldn't. I'd feel very similar. I

89
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 5: like Rabel, I think more as a head coach than

90
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 5: I do McDaniels as an offensive coordinator. But I like

91
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 5: Josh a lot too. I look forward to the same

92
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 5: thing with Josh because I think Mike and I have

93
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 5: a pretty good relationship with him, and I think he

94
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 5: has demonstrated the ability to run an offense. You know,

95
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 5: I don't think it's been anywhere near as good without Brady,

96
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 5: But who would be you know, who would be anywhere

97
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 5: near as good. You know, I was looking up something

98
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: for a millbag today. We had someone comparing Ben Johnson

99
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 5: and Adam Gase, you know, because Adam Gase had great

100
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: success as an offensive coordinator. Yes in twenty thirteen with

101
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 5: Peyton Manning when they set a record, have a feeling

102
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 5: that was a little bit more to do with Peyton

103
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 5: Manning than it was Adam Gase. And then Adam Gase

104
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 5: went to Chicago and had like the eighteenth ranked.

105
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 4: Offense with the I think that's why.

106
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 5: That's what happens when you have a great Hall of

107
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 5: Fame quarterback, he lifts your offense to.

108
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: Great And I think that's why Ben Johnson is getting

109
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 4: so much acclaim across the league as he's doing it

110
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 4: with a reclamation project.

111
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 5: Jared, Yeah, yeah, it's much more impressive.

112
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. So the question is, can Josh adapt and do

113
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: what's best for Drake May and forget about Tom Brady,

114
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: you know, literally just forget about Tom Brady, uh, because

115
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: no one's going to be him and no one can

116
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: do what he did. But turning back to Mike Vrabel,

117
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 4: because this is his day, he seems, you know, from

118
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 4: what I can what I've heard so far. You know,

119
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: we've put some stuff up on social media already. He

120
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: seems genuinely excited about being here. There was a rumor

121
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: that Brady reached out to him and says, don't bother,

122
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: I'm going back to New England.

123
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 5: So I was reported yesterday by that was reported and

124
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 5: so so it doesn't sound like there was much hemon

125
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 5: and haweing on his part, like he really wanted to

126
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 5: be here.

127
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 4: They wanted him back here, and it happened. And uh,

128
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 4: you know, listen, we heard rumors that this was going

129
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 4: to happen. We were going to have a press conference

130
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: this Monday, maybe, you know. So I think internally in

131
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 4: the organization they would playing what's the soonest? What's the soonest?

132
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 4: This could happen Monday morning, and so they prepared for

133
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 4: it and it did happen. But uh, yeah, the Crafts

134
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 4: knew who they wanted they and they got it done.

135
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 5: So that's the part that I would say that I

136
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 5: that I like is regardless of what you think of

137
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 5: the choice, and reasonable minds can disagree, but I liked

138
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 5: the idea that they identified something and they were able

139
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 5: to execute it. You know, they went after it. I

140
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 5: think we can all talk about sort of the plus

141
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 5: and of the process, you know, through search. I personally

142
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 5: would rather have had them talk to more guys and

143
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 5: come back and if it lands on Rabel lands on Rabel,

144
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 5: no problem there. But again, reasonable minds can can have

145
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 5: different opinions. They identified Rabel, and they not only identified it,

146
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 5: but they executed it bang. They went after it, they

147
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 5: got it, and they did it quickly and effectively. I

148
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 5: think that's really encouraging if you're a patriot, and if.

149
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 4: Some of the kind of reporting is correct. A month

150
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 4: before the season ended, it sounded like they were already

151
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 4: what if we have to make a change. And I

152
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 4: don't know how they would have been doing it, but

153
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 4: they were kind of maybe getting it out, you know,

154
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 4: looking around to see if we had to make a change,

155
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 4: who would it be? You know? And sometimes yes, sometimes

156
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 4: you know, the quickest route is sometimes the best. May

157
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: maybe you know, what is Ben Johnson? Maybe his ceiling

158
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 4: higher or he could be the next you know McVeigh possibly,

159
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 4: But you got this guy right there. You got a

160
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: guy who you know, you know, the kind of organization

161
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: that he's going to create, the culture's going to create

162
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 4: because he's done it before, and you know, let's let's

163
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: take the bird in the hand, and you know, sometimes

164
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 4: that's the best route. And so they did it. And

165
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: so yeah, like Paul said, could they have talked to

166
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: more people, Sure, but sometimes you just when it's right

167
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 4: in front of you, just do it.

168
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 8: Just do it.

169
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 5: Like I said, I like the fact that they didn't

170
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 5: think it was important to do that, and they did

171
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 5: it quickly and they did it effectively.

172
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 6: I wouldn't mind seeing the talk to more people. Now

173
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 6: come about with the offensive coordinator, And I mean, Iko

174
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 6: you said, if it is Josh McDaniel's great, we know

175
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 6: him a little bit. I have confidence he could do

176
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 6: the job. But I think this is the time to

177
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 6: you know, maybe find those up and coming offensive coaches.

178
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: Maybe that will bring a little bit of Yeah.

179
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I just I'd be open to new

180
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 6: names in that. And you know, nothing against Josh, but

181
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 6: you know, I think the stability that Josh who provide

182
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 6: is certainly appealing. I mean, we talked so much about

183
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 6: in success you're probably gonna lose this guy quick. But

184
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 6: you know, I just think at the end of the day,

185
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 6: this was such an obvious choice, and you know, yes,

186
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 6: last year it was kind of rushed and out of

187
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 6: nowhere and all of a sudden, it's just Mayo and

188
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 6: there's no real process. And I think that hung over

189
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 6: this a little bit. But at the end of the day,

190
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 6: this was the guy all along, right, I mean, this

191
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 6: it all lined up this year. I mean I wish

192
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 6: they'd done it last year, to be honest, but you know,

193
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 6: now they've got the guy. He's been here and I

194
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 6: think I said it last week. Just what I love

195
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 6: about Rabel is not a lot of people, but a

196
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 6: lot of people from who are successful with the dynasty

197
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 6: talk about a lot about what it was and what

198
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 6: they did and what the Patriot Way was, and you

199
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 6: know how they he never talked about it like he

200
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 6: just did it. He went out in big games. He

201
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 6: caught touchdowns. You know, I saw the edit we put out,

202
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 6: and it's like they're all Super Bowl highlights, their sacks

203
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 6: in the super Bowl. There are touchdowns in the Super Bowl.

204
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 6: It it plays in big games.

205
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 8: You know.

206
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: That was what Mike Vrabel was.

207
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 6: He's not somebody who's going to go around and tell

208
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 6: you all about what the Patriot Way is and why

209
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 6: we're better than everybody else. He's just going to go

210
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 6: out there and kick your ass, and I just that's

211
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 6: the attitude that I love. I think it's a hard

212
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 6: place for this organization. They needed to move on from Bill,

213
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 6: they needed to kind of clear the slate. Really hard

214
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 6: for Jirod to do that. I think Mike Rabel can

215
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,119
Speaker 6: do it. He's got a program.

216
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 4: And one thing you can be sure of, beyond being

217
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: judged by wins, which is what every head coach is

218
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 4: judged by, Rabel knows that he's going to be judged

219
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: on how he develops Drake May. So this choice of

220
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: an offensive coordinator, I'm sure is going to be done

221
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: with that in mind. Yeah. So if he has any

222
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 4: doubt about Josh McDaniels doing that for Drake May, I'm

223
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 4: sure he's going to look elsewhere. But if he does

224
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 4: choose Josh McDaniels, I have faith that it's because he

225
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: does believe that he's the right guy to help Drake May.

226
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 6: I think the great thing is last year, when you

227
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 6: were doing these offensive coordinator interviews, you thought maybe you

228
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 6: would have Drake May, maybe you'd have Jaden Daniels.

229
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: You didn't really know your interviewing guys asking them what

230
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: their process might be for different options that are on

231
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: the roster.

232
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 6: But now you have the guy you know exactly who

233
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 6: you're going to be developing. I think that just that

234
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 6: helps matters, you know, you know, he can say I've

235
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 6: looked at Drake's tape, this is what I would do,

236
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 6: this is what I would do.

237
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: And and Rabel's success is tied to this OHC decision

238
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 4: kind of because if you know, two years from now,

239
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 4: we're still you know, middling. That's not going to be

240
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 4: good enough. That's not gonna be good enough. And Drake

241
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: may hasn't you know, risen to the you know, levels

242
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 4: that we think he's capable of. That's not going to

243
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 4: be good And Rabel's smart, he knows that.

244
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he knows that.

245
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 6: I'd much rather have that hanging over my head than

246
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 6: I don't even know who my quarterback is at this point.

247
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 6: You know that, Oh yeah, you know, it's easier to

248
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 6: go into it knowing that. But you know, somebody's got

249
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 6: to clean up the turnovers for Drake. I'd say that's

250
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 6: the place to start with him, is you know, big

251
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 6: key for next year is being safe.

252
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: With the ball.

253
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Then you get to the defensive side of the ball,

254
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 4: which is to me more of a mystery, crazy because

255
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 4: it's not like, oh, the defense was fine last year. No,

256
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 4: it wasn't. That might have more cleaning up to do

257
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: than anything. Because on offense, to me, yes, the scheme

258
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 4: is going to be important. Who the OC? But you know,

259
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 4: they just need to get talent. That's pretty apparent. That's

260
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 4: one of the answers on offense, is they need more

261
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 4: talent on defense. I don't know where they start. I

262
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 4: really don't like, do they start with just bringing in

263
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 4: veteran you know, veterans, or do they use the first

264
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 4: draft pick on defense and kind of you know, look

265
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: past the offense. The defense to me is a little

266
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: bit more complicated. Me too, you know, me too.

267
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 6: I mean that's everybody's got their you know, fifty guys

268
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 6: that could be the offensive coordinator. I haven't heard a

269
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 6: lot of interesting options for defensive cod well, that.

270
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 5: Part, I do think is more complicated. I don't have

271
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 5: any idea who Mike wants as his defensive coordinator, but

272
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 5: I think the problems are very similar talent, well, talent

273
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 5: and scheme, like they need both on both sides of

274
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 5: the ball. I don't know. I think we have an

275
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 5: eye idea that Josh McDaniels is in the mix. There's

276
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 5: been enough people that have been saying, don't be surprised

277
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 5: if Josh MCDI I think we think it's Josh McDaniels

278
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 5: and maybe Tommy Reese from you know, their time together

279
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 5: in Cleveland. I don't have any idea who Mike wants

280
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 5: on defense.

281
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 9: Now.

282
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 5: I'm not as concerned on that side because I think

283
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 5: Mike will be will do a better job of being

284
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 5: sort of head coach with a lean to a defense

285
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 5: than Gerad did. Yeah, you know, like Bill did for

286
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 5: years and years and years. I think that.

287
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 4: They'll is that the way he was in Tennessee.

288
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 5: Like I would be surprised. I don't know exactly how

289
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 5: he delegated in Tennessee, Fred to answer that question, but

290
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 5: I would be surprised if they made a huge departure

291
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 5: away from the way Patriots used to play defense, you know,

292
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 5: with the sort of two gapping philosophies and whatnot. I'd

293
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 5: be surprised if they just said, you know, like Evan

294
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 5: was talking about why he doesn't think Robert Sala would

295
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 5: be a good choice because it's really a departure, you know,

296
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 5: from a system standpoint to the way the Patriots have

297
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 5: played in the past. And then the easy you know

298
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 5: rebud is, well, how do you know the way Mike

299
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 5: Rables are going to play? My guess is that it'll

300
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 5: be similar to the way the Patriots.

301
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 6: Actually I went back and looked, did some digging just

302
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 6: on his one year in Houston as the defensive coordinator,

303
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 6: and yeah, you know, just base three four, So I

304
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 6: mean kind of the same route, same or same you know,

305
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 6: root concepts that you know Bill used here, a lot

306
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 6: of you know, who's dropping, who's coming, a lot of

307
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 6: disguise up front. But I do think the core principles

308
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 6: are probably the same of what he'll be drawing out

309
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 6: of them. But you know, the real question is how

310
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 6: complicated does it get with safeties and all that kind

311
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 6: of stuff.

312
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 4: The reason for me the defense is a little bit

313
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: more ambiguous, and often you have the quarterback on offense,

314
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 4: so that's the thing that you're building around. I don't

315
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 4: know what you're building around on defense, like Gonzales, I guess,

316
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 4: but like it starts up front, you know.

317
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 5: I understand, you're right, yeah, but you do have a

318
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 5: guy that you playing at a good level a young guy.

319
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 10: That offense.

320
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 4: Again, like offense, if you don't have the quarterback, you

321
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: better get one. Yeah, they've got the quarterback. You know.

322
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: On defense, it's but it has to be more complimentary.

323
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 5: Right, because there isn't that one. Like you can't say, well,

324
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 5: if you don't have an edge rusher then you know,

325
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 5: or you don't have a corner. It's anything everything, right.

326
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what I what I think of when

327
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 5: I think of Rabel's defenses in Tennessee is I want

328
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 5: to say, was it nineteen that the Yeah, that was

329
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 5: the other they beat the Patriots here when that was

330
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 5: that was Mike's introduction to.

331
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: The Brady's Loserville Brady's last game, right, Yeah.

332
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 5: So the defensive game plan that the Titans put together

333
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 5: in the division around the next week at Baltimore, that

334
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 5: was a completely unstoppable offense that year, and but in

335
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 5: Tennessee stopped it. They I mean, they put up a

336
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 5: bunch of yards, but they couldn't score. If you remember

337
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 5: the way that game unfolded, they got a lead with

338
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 5: Derek Henry running and Rabel you know, just sort of

339
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 5: contained Lamar Jacks and and I maybe I'm wrong. I'm

340
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 5: giving the credit to Rabel for that the way I

341
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 5: used to give the credit to Bill when they would

342
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 5: come up with these sort of interesting, different kind of

343
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 5: game plans to stop opponents. That's what I think of

344
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 5: with with Rabel. I think that's where his expertise.

345
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: Rolled along those lines.

346
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 6: I think you guys probably saw the Taylor Luan video

347
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 6: that he put out, which was really really funny talking.

348
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: About it, guys, don't get ready.

349
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 6: But what I liked hearing about it that the jokes aside,

350
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 6: where you know we talked about with Bill, with him

351
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 6: saying he's going to give you keys to the game

352
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 6: and he's gonna hammer those and those are the things

353
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 6: that are going to help you guys win games. I

354
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 6: just I loved hearing that. I think that's where the

355
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 6: trust from the players and the coaching staff and what

356
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 6: inexperienced coaching staff brings. And it's unfortunately something I don't think,

357
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 6: you know, jirod had by the end of the season

358
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 6: with his players.

359
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: I don't think they know trusted that if we do

360
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: what the coaches are telling us, we're gonna win.

361
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 6: But I think that message out from Rabel will yeah

362
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 6: and he certainly he may have gotten that from Bill.

363
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 4: Maybe he got it from being at Ohio State when

364
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: he was a college player. I don't know. I'm sure

365
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: Bill isn't the only coach that does that.

366
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 5: I mean they all did. Like yeah, and I know

367
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 5: you always get mad at here, but this this was

368
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 5: a Parcels tenant. You know, you do these things, we

369
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 5: can win, right, you know. And you know, Belichick and

370
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 5: Parcels for as much as they Bill, for as much

371
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 5: as they battled. But I also think Big Bill took

372
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 5: a lot from Little Bill too, Like I just think

373
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 5: they really complimented each other really well. I think Belichick's

374
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 5: expertise was more with x's and o's and Parcels was

375
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 5: more with the relationships and the motivation and whatnot. But

376
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 5: I think they believed in going about their business in

377
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 5: a similar way. And I think Rabel falls from.

378
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 4: That tree, the part about you know, uh, you know,

379
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 4: Rabel will stand you up and he'll say, you know,

380
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 4: who's this guy, who's that guy? You know, he'll do

381
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 4: everything from you know, the person who takes care of

382
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 4: you know, the janitor in the place. You know, you

383
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 4: better know everybody in the organization, right, I like that

384
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 4: because yeah, come here and immerse yourself, get involved, get

385
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: to know people, become part of the organization, not just

386
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 4: like a mercenary. You know. I like that attitude and

387
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 4: that's something that Rabel's gonna bring here.

388
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 5: So I like how they all make fun of him

389
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 5: for talking about his career.

390
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and you know when the link that we

391
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 4: sent around in the newsletter, I think was Will Compton

392
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 4: did the Vrabel impression, And when he did that, guys

393
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 4: just fell out because it's exactly what Rabel.

394
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: Fourteen years in the league, well, you know, I know

395
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 3: he did.

396
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 4: I've been in only forty three years, just like just

397
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 4: lost it. That was really funny.

398
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 6: Now it's gonna be fun I mean, I think there's

399
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 6: just a level of entertainment from Rabel two that just

400
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 6: will spice up press conferences like these, Like it's probably

401
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 6: gonna be a little some ribs thrown somewhere, I'm imagining.

402
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 3: But I'm excited for that part.

403
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 6: I just I think he brings a great edge and

404
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 6: I just think it's exactly what the New England patriots

405
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 6: need right now for where they are, and you know,

406
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 6: getting away from the last twenty years and all that

407
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 6: you know, starting over, starting a new leaf, and you

408
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 6: know something that everybody can really believe in it. That's

409
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 6: I mean, I've seen across the board it seems like

410
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 6: people are like, this is the right choice. That's the

411
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 6: right choice for this team. So it feels good to

412
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 6: you know, have that kind of be the sentiment other

413
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 6: than you.

414
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 5: Get some accountability. That's the word that everybody uses with

415
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 5: what he's going to hold you accountable.

416
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 4: But you know, it's so funny though to hear the

417
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 4: people on on the Twitter who you know, hate the media.

418
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the media is going to get it now.

419
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 4: You know they're not going to be able to get

420
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 4: away with anything. Now you know who's going to be

421
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 4: the first person to get yelled at my brable? It's

422
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 4: like who cares?

423
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 5: Oh but they care, no, no, But what I'm saying

424
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 5: as a media guy, like that happens. Sometimes you're gonna

425
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 5: get Sometimes you're going to ask a dumb question, You're

426
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 5: going to get like that. That's part of the gig.

427
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 4: But there's like part of the gig. There's a whole

428
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 4: of people on Twitter just waiting for that.

429
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 3: I mean, I got admitted.

430
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 6: I was thinking about it too, Like if when I get,

431
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 6: you know, an opportunity, it's some juncture to interview him.

432
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 3: I feel like you know what you're asking, don't better

433
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: who I know?

434
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 4: I don't care. You should actually you should actually put

435
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 4: some fun into your It shouldn't be like, you know,

436
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 4: a chit chat. I totally have you know, a reason

437
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 4: for asking the question, right.

438
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 5: I totally agree with that, And I've never ever changed

439
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 5: my thought process going into an interview based on who

440
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 5: I'm interviewing right right, like I need to be on

441
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 5: my you know, on my toes on no matter who,

442
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 5: you should know what you're going to be asking.

443
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

444
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 5: Now, I'm not saying like sometimes you walk through the

445
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 5: locker room and you're like, oh, I didn't necessarily think

446
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 5: I was going to talk to David Andrews today, But

447
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 5: David Andrews is over there by himself. I have, you know,

448
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 5: I know him. I'm going to go over and talk,

449
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 5: you know, and I might not have a question different.

450
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 5: That's just a conversation. But if you're sitting down to

451
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 5: interview somebody, you shouldn't take it more seriously if it's

452
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 5: Bill Belichick than you would if it's dry.

453
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and by the way, if you're in a press

454
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: conference and someone asked the question you were going to ask.

455
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: That doesn't mean you have to come up with a

456
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 4: new question on the fly. You're done. You've got your

457
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 4: answer that you know, you know, you don't have to be.

458
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 3: I'll just go with about like how was your breakfast?

459
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 11: Right?

460
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: You don't have to be heard from every press conference. Yeah, anyway, Wow,

461
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,399

Speaker 5: Get your information ready.

472
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 4: When you come to fifty four after the press conference,

473
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna feel be here. I think they're

474
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 4: gonna go to lunch, the Crafts and Vrabel. But then

475
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 4: he's gonna go through the car wash here. We're gonna

476
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 4: have a photo session and he's going to do a

477
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 4: sit down and media will get to talk to him

478
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 4: one on one. I put the request in. I don't

479
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 4: know if it's going to happen. Hopefully he'll stop by

480
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 4: the studio for five or ten minutes. We'll get him,

481
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 4: we'll get him into our layer where we can be

482
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: a little bit more informal. But we'll see. But it's

483
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 4: so once the press conference over, we'll come back and

484
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 4: start the show up again, and we'll keep going as

485
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 4: long as we need to.

486
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 8: Uh.

487
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 4: You know, there's really no set end time because we

488
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 4: don't know exactly when we're going to get here. But

489
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 4: we'll get to your calls and emails when we come

490
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 4: back from the press conference, so it'll be all good, uh,

491
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 4: and we'll have a lot to talk about.

492
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 5: Yeah. Now, my guess is anything that you guys are

493
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 5: interested in, it probably gonna get asked. Yes, as much

494
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 5: as much as I like to, you know, sort of

495
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 5: poke fun at my fellow colleagues. Generally, at these kinds

496
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 5: of press conferences, all the pert Yeah, all the pertinent

497
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 5: questions are asked.

498
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 4: So we should think if we get to him and

499
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 4: some anecdotes that you know happened when we were here,

500
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 4: like hey, you know you remember this or that.

501
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't necessarily need to go down that rabbit hole.

502
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 4: Did you ever have any like, like fun interactions with him?

503
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I had a lot of fun interactions with him. Yeah,

504
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 5: so it's always the butt of his jokes. Okay, Yeah,

505
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 5: I mean I wasn't you know. It wasn't like he

506
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 5: picked on me. He picked on everybody, Bill, But.

507
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 4: Did he ever pick on you in particular?

508
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 5: Like no, Yeah, I mean he used to make fun

509
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 5: Like as an example, when we used to do a

510
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 5: lot of TV, we would do like the you know,

511
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 5: my shows after you know, so I would have TV

512
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 5: clothes on in the locker room and he'd be like, oh,

513
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 5: NBC Sports Boston Tonight, Comcast at the time, Comcast, and

514
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 5: I got the Fall Colors, going things like that.

515
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 4: You know, that's professional, but that's a good thing. That

516
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 4: means he pays attention. He pays attention to people, you know.

517
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 5: Like that's just an example. But like this was not

518
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 5: because of me. This is what he did to everybody.

519
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh yeah, as I said, including Bill.

520
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 4: Well, I tell a story when we were doing three

521
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 4: Games to Glory two, I had him and I looked

522
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 4: it up. I forgot who else it was him, Dion

523
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 4: Branch and Givens, and we did a director's cut where

524
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: they watched the game and commented on it while we're

525
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 4: watching the game, and after words, after we shot it,

526
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 4: I had Rabel sat down and watch some of the

527
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 4: other stuff because he was interested. And he sits down,

528
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 4: He's like, why'd you do this? Edit? You should have

529
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 4: done this, you should have done that. I'm like, Okay,

530
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 4: this guy like he wants he's got opinions about everything,

531
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 4: and that was good. Now we were too far down

532
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 4: the process to make changes, but some of the things

533
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: that he said made sense, you know, from a player's standpoint,

534
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 4: So maybe I'll remind him of that. That was three

535
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 4: games to glory two after the Panthers win, so good stuff.

536
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 4: I was very excited. So Matt, I think we're gonna

537
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 4: wrap it up. The three of us are going to

538
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 4: head up to the SI Pavilion where they're having the

539
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 4: press conference, so we're gonna have that live on Patriots

540
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 4: dot com as well. Watch that, and then there'll probably

541
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 4: be some time in between the ending of that to

542
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 4: when we get back down here, but we'll be back

543
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,159

00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 14: here fifteen months ago at the Sports Illustrator Pavilion to

579
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 14: welcome Mike as a new inductee into the Patriots Hall

580
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 14: of Fame. And I'm really proud that fifteen months later,

581
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 14: we're back here today to invite him and his lovely

582
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 14: wife Jen to announce as the new head coach of

583
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 14: the New England Patriots. I'd like to ask Jen if

584
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 14: she'd come up here for a moment.

585
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 4: This is from our.

586
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 8: This is from our entire fan base.

587
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 14: Here to tell you how excited we are about your

588
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 14: both being Thank you.

589
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 8: So.

590
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 14: Mike's history with the NFL, you know, it's sort of

591
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 14: his experience is what embodies what's great about the NFL.

592
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 14: He joined us in two thousand and one as an

593
00:26:54,359 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 14: unheralded free agent, and he had never started a game.

594
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 14: He had been in the league four years, and he

595
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 14: joined us, and he became a starter those next four

596
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 14: years and we were privileged to win three Super Bowls

597
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 14: in that time. And his impact, because of his work

598
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 14: ethic and his competitive drive and his leadership skills made

599
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 14: it very special those four years. And those personal characteristics

600
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 14: also made him a very high performing coach, which he

601
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 14: had started to do seven years ago. After being a

602
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 14: linebacker coach at Ohio State for a year, he became

603
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 14: a new coach at the Tennessee Titans for six years

604
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 14: and finished with a record, a winning record. You know,

605
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 14: I might remind everyone in the room. In twenty nineteen,

606
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 14: he beat us right here in the playoffs. It was

607
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 14: Tommy's last game as a Patriot, and then he went

608
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 14: on to Baltimore and beat the Ravens there who were

609
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 14: the number one seed. And then in twenty twenty one,

610
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 14: he finished with the best record in the AFC twelve

611
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 14: and five and it was the number one season, number

612
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 14: one team. In the interview process, Mike showed us that

613
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 14: he had a very deep understanding of our current team

614
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 14: and most importantly, he had a clear and focused strategy

615
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 14: of how to get us back to a championship way

616
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 14: that is so important to all of us, but also

617
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 14: something that I think our fan base really deserves and expects.

618
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 14: So with that being said, it's my great honor to

619
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 14: introduce you all to the next head coach of the

620
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,760

Speaker 15: that have helped me get to this point, and I

627
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 15: want to thank them. I want to use this opportunity

628
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 15: to thank them in front of you. You'll get to

629
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 15: know some of them, most of them.

630
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 8: And I want to thank my family. I want to

631
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 8: thank Jen and Along for this ride.

632
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 15: For quite a while, Tyler and Carter, who grew up here,

633
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 15: who spent time here.

634
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 8: You know, it probably wasn't the easiest thing to be.

635
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 15: My son as I was trying to figure this out

636
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 15: and figure out the difference between being a dad and

637
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 15: being a coach.

638
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 8: So I love them dearly. You'll see them around hopefully. Obviously.

639
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 15: Want to thank my parents, thank Chuck and e Lane.

640
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 15: And as I go through this interview process, I'm always

641
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 15: quick to tell people that I'm an only child and

642
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 15: only children are spoiled, which I was.

643
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 8: I was an only child of two educators.

644
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 15: But my dad was a basketball coach and assistant football coach,

645
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 15: and he taught me what it.

646
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 8: Was to.

647
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 15: Be tough, to work hard, and to embrace being part

648
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 15: of a team and loving being part of a team,

649
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 15: and how powerful that can be when you're an only child.

650
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 15: Those are probably hard things to understand, but I would

651
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 15: tell you that those are things that I built.

652
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 8: On, that I believe in that I want to try.

653
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 15: To put as many people in this building and around

654
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 15: our players that are like that, so I thank them.

655
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 15: I want to thank Robert and Jonathan and Daniel and

656
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 15: the entire Craft family, not only for the time that

657
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 15: I spent here as a player, but the experience a

658
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 15: year and a half ago that Robert mentioned with the

659
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 15: Hall of Fame, just the class that they showed myself,

660
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 15: my family, my friends, the people that came. You know,

661
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 15: I think the biggest one of the biggest groups I'd

662
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 15: like to thank are the players that have impacted me

663
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 15: along the way from Ohio State that when I didn't

664
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 15: know what I was doing, I had no idea. I

665
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 15: just try to figure it out as I went along

666
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 15: to the ones that I had in Houston to the

667
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 15: ones in Tennessee. Robert mentioned that we won twelve games

668
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 15: in two thousand and one. We played ninety one players

669
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 15: and they all cared about the team immensely. They would

670
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 15: do whatever it took for the team to win. And

671
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 15: and with that, the coaches that have impacted me along

672
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 15: the way, my high school football coach Jerry Reardon. I

673
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 15: think I've had a great opportunity to play for, to

674
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 15: coach with, and coach for some unbelievable mentors people that

675
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 15: have helped shape me. From John Cooper, Bill Cower, John Mitchell,

676
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 15: Romeo Cornell, Bill Belichick and the multiple coaches that were

677
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 15: here to to to Luke Fickle, to Urban Meyer, to

678
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 15: Bill O'Brien, who who you know held up his end

679
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 15: of the bargain when he asked me to come to

680
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 15: the Houston Texans with him. He said, I'm gonna do

681
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 15: everything I can to get you ready to be a

682
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 15: head coach.

683
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

684
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 15: He did that, and he's a he's a great friend,

685
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 15: and I'm gonna support Billy every way I can.

686
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 8: Up the road at Chestnut Hill.

687
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 15: So you know, the assistant coaches that have you know,

688
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 15: held me accountable, you know, to to leading the team

689
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 15: sometimes when you know when you're not right or you

690
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 15: need somebody to say, hey, there's another way. And I

691
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 15: want to thank those coaches because to be in this

692
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 15: situation you need so many people around you, and you

693
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 15: put in place to to help the players. I want

694
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 15: to thank the teams that were you know, willing to

695
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 15: meet with me through this process to give me an

696
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 15: opportunity to potentially lead their team. But in the end,

697
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 15: you know, it was clear to me and to my

698
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 15: family and my soul that this was the place that

699
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 15: that I.

700
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 8: Wanted to be.

701
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 15: And uh and I thank Robert, and I think the

702
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 15: Craft family, you know, excited, excited to get to work,

703
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 15: Excited to meet the people in this building that have

704
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 15: made this place special, find out what they need, find

705
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 15: out how I can help them, how I can help

706
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 15: them do their job better, how we can enhance the

707
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 15: stuff that we do well, and then find out what

708
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 15: the areas of focus are and get to work. I

709
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 15: want to galvanize our football team. I want to galvanize

710
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 15: this building. I want to gualvanize our fans. And the

711
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 15: most important thing are the players, there's some of them

712
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 15: right here. I want to provide a program that provides

713
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 15: their ownership but also their accountability of each other, and

714
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 15: one that they'll be proud to be a part of

715
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 15: and that they're going to fight for. You know, you

716
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 15: guys are going to ask me questions about culture, which

717
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 15: I'll be happy to talk about and discuss. One thing

718
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 15: I've realized about culture is that you can find out

719
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 15: what your culture looks like when your family, your business,

720
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 15: or your team.

721
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 8: Is that it's low point.

722
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 15: It's not when you're winning super Bowls, or it's not

723
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 15: when you're seven and one or ten and one, because

724
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 15: then then everybody's waving towels and everybody's happy and they're

725
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 15: excited to come to work. But when you get hit

726
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 15: in the mouth, or you're down, or the chips are

727
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 15: against you, you know, then you can take a snapshot

728
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 15: of what your company or your team looks like, and

729
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 15: then you'll find out what kind of culture you have.

730
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 15: But that culture is going to be built on winning,

731
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 15: a competitive spirit throughout our roster, throughout our players, and

732
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 15: throughout our coaches and our staff, and the ability to

733
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 15: put the team first and care about somebody other than yourself.

734
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 8: And I'm excited to do that. I'm excited to get

735
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 8: to work.

736
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 15: But everything and everyone in this building is going to

737
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 15: understand and believe that their job is critically important for

738
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 15: our success. And it's going to be you know, how

739
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 15: can I help you in order to help the players.

740
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 15: Our players will respect and they will appreciate and they

741
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 15: will be grateful for the opportunity that they have here.

742
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 15: And the people that work in this building some very

743
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 15: familiar faces that I can't wait to reconnect and to

744
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 15: work and figure out how we help these players in

745
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 15: this football team. And we're going to earn the right

746
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 15: to be here every day. We're gonna remove and uh

747
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 15: entitlement from from our football team. We're gonna we're gonna

748
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 15: get everything that we've earned from from the.

749
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 8: Head coach to the position coaches.

750
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 15: All the way down to the players. We're going to

751
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 15: earn the right to be here every single day. You know,

752
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 15: I always say that, you know, I don't want to

753
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 15: get into too many messages that will be geared for

754
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 15: the players, you know, but I hold those those conversations,

755
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 15: you know, those are special conversations between the coaches and

756
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 15: the players. But you know, we want to treat every

757
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 15: player the same way they treat the team, and we

758
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 15: want to treat every employee the same way that they

759
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 15: treat the team. And if they care about the team, uh,

760
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 15: and they come here with a great attitude and a

761
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 15: willingness to work and help the team, I've asked Robert

762
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 15: to do everything that we can for them to support

763
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 15: them and their families. That that's the type of environment

764
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 15: that I want to build and I'm excited about it.

765
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 15: And with that, I would love to answer any questions.

766
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 8: That you have. Hi, Mike, anybody, welcome back. Thanks.

767
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 16: Just a thought on everything that you've said kind of

768
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 16: wrapped in your career as a player here you said

769
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 16: this is a special place. As a coach, now, how

770
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 16: would you describe what kind of players you want to

771
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 16: wear a Patriot uniform to help.

772
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 3: You win as an organization.

773
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 8: Elliott's gonna laugh. I'm gonna say, good ones.

774
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 15: That's just an inside joke between him and I already

775
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 15: just over the weekend and through the interview process. But uh,

776
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 15: you know, we're going to ask our players to just

777
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 15: do a few things. One is one is to put

778
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 15: the team first, to know what to do, uh, and

779
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 15: play fast and aggressive. So that's the vision for the

780
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 15: type of player. Winners coming, all shits and sizes, right,

781
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 15: We're going to have leaders. Leaders are going to identify themselves.

782
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 15: I have know that our staff and our ability to

783
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 15: create winners and competitors are probably easier than it is

784
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 15: to create leaders. And the leaders are going to identify themselves.

785
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 15: The leaders are going to ones that define the culture.

786
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 15: The culture will be the you know what drives and

787
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 15: gives you the results that we're all you know after,

788
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 15: So the type of player, you know they're there when

789
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 15: you get into scouting and evaluation. Every team has a height, weight, speed, right,

790
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 15: and then it's our job to you know, take analytical

791
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 15: data and watch the tape and just figure out where

792
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 15: they fit best for us. And maybe they're the best

793
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 15: ones and the right ones. That would be wonderful, but uh,

794
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 15: it's a long process. And those are the things we're

795
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 15: going to ask the players to do. Is put the

796
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 15: team first, know what to do and play fast and

797
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 15: aggressive and play with some speed.

798
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 17: Congratulations, thank you you live through the collaborative process, especially

799
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 17: at the end in Tennessee. I'm curious how you view

800
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 17: that and do you have roster control control over the draft.

801
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 8: Here with the Patriots, well.

802
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 15: I think the most important thing is that there's a

803
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 15: there's a shared organizational vision for what we want to

804
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 15: do and how we want to work and how we

805
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 15: want to acquire players. There's numerous ways to acquire players

806
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 15: through free agency, trade, draft, post draft process, post after

807
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 15: training camp. So again, I'm just excited to get to

808
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 15: sit down with Elliott and his staff.

809
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 8: I've met more with Elliott over the.

810
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 15: Weekend than I have had conversations with him. But I

811
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 15: need to sit down with his staff and get figure

812
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 15: out where we're at what we need to do. Uh

813
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 15: And I'm confident that those types of decisions are all gonna,

814
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 15: you know, sort themselves out that that we're we don't

815
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 15: want to always be on the same page, like that's

816
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 15: not the environment that we want to create. But we

817
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 15: want to have a shared vision and there's also different

818
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 15: ways to get there, and I'm embracing that everybody is

819
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 15: going to have a different personality. I don't want my

820
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 15: staff to be like me. I don't want all our

821
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 15: players to be similar. You know, We're going to have

822
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 15: diverse ideas and that's critical and to be able to

823
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 15: have those types of conversations. It's something that I'm looking

824
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 15: forward to. Hey Mike, Hey Tommy, what is.

825
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 8: Your plan for offensive and defensive coordinators? Is that solidified already?

826
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 8: And if not, what's the process? No, that's that's far

827
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 8: from solidified.

828
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 15: You know, we want to put the best talented coaches

829
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 15: in front of our players. When they stand in front

830
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 15: of these players, they I want the players to embrace

831
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 15: what every coach is teaching. And I will tell you

832
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 15: this as long as I'm the head coach here. Uh,

833
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 15: our coaches will have three simple jobs. And they sound simple,

834
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 15: and they're probably not as simple as we want.

835
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 8: To make them be.

836
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 15: But they want to teach, they want to develop, and

837
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 15: they want to inspire our players by making a connection.

838
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 15: We're going to make strong connections with our players so

839
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 15: that we can we can coach them and we can

840
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 15: push them. And you know, there's I've I've really believed

841
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 15: in this system, and I believe in having great teachers,

842
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 15: great developers, and and also coaches that will inspire our

843
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 15: our men by by making a connection so that they

844
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 15: know exactly.

845
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 8: What makes them tick. Like we all have stuff outside

846
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 8: of here.

847
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 15: Every every single coach, every single player, every single person

848
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 15: in our building is going to have something outside of

849
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 15: football with their family, mentally, physically, They're all going to

850
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 15: deal with something. It's going to look different, uh and

851
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 15: and it's gonna smell different, but it's something, and we

852
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 15: got to deal with it, and we got to when

853
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 15: they come in the building, do everything that we can

854
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 15: to help them do their jobs. And I do feel

855
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 15: the shared experiences that I've had as a player. One

856
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 15: thats Robert mentioned didn't start a game for four years

857
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 15: and made the roster because of special teams and occasionally

858
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 15: playing on third down and backing up and being a

859
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 15: backup at more than one position, to a free agent

860
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 15: that took an opportunity to come here and started for

861
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 15: the next ten years of his career to being a

862
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 15: you know, a veteran player who was expected to produce

863
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 15: at a high level, to one that, as he got older,

864
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 15: was traded to another team that then had to start.

865
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 8: Over to had to act as a coach.

866
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 15: So I feel like that every player that sits in

867
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 15: that meeting room I can at some point in my

868
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 15: career relate to and have a conversation about.

869
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 8: I Mike, Hey, what's.

870
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 18: Your philosophy When it comes to developing a young quarterback.

871
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 8: And how do you plan on helping Drake May which

872
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 8: is potential.

873
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 15: Yeah, put put great people around him. You know, we

874
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 15: we have to uh, you know, I would say that

875
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 15: my involvement will be as it relates to game management

876
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 15: and and and situational awareness and where we are on

877
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 15: a football field, and and trying to develop him as

878
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 15: as a leader of the offense. And when that quarterback,

879
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 15: you know, when they call to play, like you want

880
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 15: to say, like everybody is going to believe it, it's

881
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 15: going to score a touchdown, Like with that type of

882
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 15: emphasis on on how everything is going to operate. And uh,

883
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 15: you know where Drake is going to be his own person.

884
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 15: But but I'm going to give him some things that

885
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 15: I feel like are necessary to help us win football games.

886
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 8: We we have to.

887
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 15: Be a very efficient passing football team, right and when

888
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 15: you look at statistically what wins in the National Football League,

889
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 15: our ability to affect the other team's quarterback and our

890
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 15: ability to provide for an efficient quarterback and passing game

891
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 15: is a high contributor to success. And there's a lot

892
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 15: of ways to do that. You know, by protecting the

893
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 15: middle of the pocket and you know, all those things

894
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 15: that we're going to talk about as we move forward,

895
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 15: but how we protect the football, how we're aggressive but

896
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 15: not reckless, understanding where we are in the game, and

897
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 15: the situational awareness that I feel like I've developed over

898
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 15: six years and then my past year in Cleveland. And

899
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 15: I'd be remiss if I didn't thank the you know,

900
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 15: the Cleveland Browns organization for the opportunity that they provided

901
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 15: me last year with Jimmy and d Haslam and then

902
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 15: Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski and all those coaches and

903
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 15: players that allowed me to spend some time with them

904
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 15: last year.

905
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 8: Mike welcome.

913
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 15: been determined. You know, as with any any staff, there's

914

927
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 5: What is it that makes it so special for you?

928
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 15: Well, I mean the history of winning and the championships,

929
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 15: and you know, I would like to thank the teammates

930
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 15: that I had here in the eight years that I

931
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 15: was here, and the teammates that I.

932
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 7: Had and.

933
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 15: Pittsburgh and the one and the younger players uh in

934
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 15: Kansas City that I learned stuff from.

935
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 8: But but that's.

936
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 15: What I mean, the people, the history, and not that

937
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 15: the the the banners that hang in our stadium, they're

938
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 15: they're not going to help us win, but I think

939
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 15: it's a great reminder of what it takes to win

940
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 15: and the type of people that you haven't have to

941
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 15: have in the organization. The selflessness and the work and

942
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 15: the sacrifice that you have to make. So to me,

943
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 15: those are great reminders of what it takes. Just because

944
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 15: those banners hang, uh that that's not going to give

945
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 15: us an advantage on the field, but it's going to

946
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 15: give us a blueprint on how hard we need to

947
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 15: work and the things that we need to do.

948
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 8: To be successful. I'm surprised they didn't let you go first, Karen,

949
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 8: they didn't let me. I would have let you go first.

950
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 14: Thank you, Mike, You're welcome and congratulations.

951
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 10: I was wondering if.

952
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 15: You have yet had a conversation with Drake May and

953
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 15: also what your impressions were of his rookie season watching

954
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 15: from afar, Karen, I'm smiling, Karen, because I know I

955
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 15: look a lot older than I did when I played here,

956
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 15: and Karen looks exactly the same way she did when

957
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 15: she stood in front of me in the locker room.

958
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 8: That's amazing, Karen.

959
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 10: Thank you.

960
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 15: Whatever you're I need some of that, I need it. Yes,

961
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 15: I've had, Yes, I've had I've had conversations with players

962
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 15: on our team, you know, and.

963
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 8: Who that's been with.

964
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 15: You know that that I'm going to try to do

965
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 15: to the next couple of days, try to reach out

966
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 15: to every player and the ones that are here rehabbing

967
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 15: and that come through here, and the ones that I'll

968
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 15: that I'll call and talk and and ask what I

969
00:47:58,280 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 15: can do to help, and where they're at and the

970
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 15: off season and how we how we move forward. Everybody

971
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 15: got here and we'll get here through a different avenue.

972
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 8: Right.

973
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 15: Maybe we drafted them, maybe we signed them as a

974
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 15: free agent, Maybe we will sign them as a free agent.

975
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 15: But none of that will matter. None of that will

976
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 15: matter how how we got here. The only thing that's

977
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 15: gonna matter is what we do when we're here. And

978
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 15: that's the most important thing that I can tell them

979
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 15: is that everybody in my eyes.

980
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 8: Is starting over.

981
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 14: Uh.

982
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 8: And they will prove to.

983
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 15: Us and to this team, UH that that their impact

984
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 15: that they'll make. And UH, we're gonna give those players

985
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 15: an opportunity. And whether we all have to be ready

986
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 15: to take advantage of our opportunities. Some people get more opportunities, UH,

987
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 15: some people get less. But we're all guaranteed an opportunity,

988
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 15: and and will you take advantage of it when it comes?

989
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 20: I might congratulations, thank you in the wake of your

990
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 20: success at Tennessee. You referenced the experience you had last

991
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 20: year at Cleveland. How did that help you evolve as

992
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 20: a coach? How were you a different coach today than

993
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 20: you were at the end of twenty three one.

994
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 15: I realized that I missed it with everything that I

995
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 15: had in my soul, that I missed having the opportunity

996
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 15: to lead, to help put a team together, a staff together.

997
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 15: That I missed that. But I also embraced helping out

998
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 15: the players and the younger players. That allowed me more

999
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 15: time to try to develop younger players that were on

1000
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 15: the practice squad, whether that be with the tight ends

1001
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 15: or the offensive line.

1002
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 8: I really enjoyed Kevin's idea.

1003
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 15: Of putting a defensive coach or what would seem to

1004
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 15: be a defensive coach with the offense. You know, I'm

1005
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 15: sure if you ask people in Tennessee, they would think

1006
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 15: that I was probably the third or four offensive line

1007
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 15: coach as much time as I spent in there. But

1008
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 15: I know how important it is to a football team

1009
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 15: and to an offense, and so really enjoyed getting to

1010
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 15: know those players and teaching them and helping helping the staff,

1011
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 15: helping the young coaches. It just reminded me the Yes,

1012
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 15: I'm not forgetting you know, all the small little details

1013
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 15: right that are critical in coaching and teaching to be

1014
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 15: able to work with young coaches and help them prepare,

1015
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,720
Speaker 15: interview them, have mock interviews so that they could develop.

1016
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 8: You know, I always tell them whatever.

1017
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 15: No one had a worse first coaching interview than I did,

1018
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 15: and I think that's documented. But it was with Urban Meyert,

1019
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 15: Ohio State, and it was it was guaranteed to be

1020
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 15: the worst interview that anybody's ever had. And I got

1021
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 15: another opportunity eight hours later, and I did a little

1022
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 15: better the second time. So I try to was able

1023
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 15: to work with the young coaches and really just get

1024
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 15: back to focusing on teaching and developing and what their

1025
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 15: style can be. And then the player is of you know,

1026
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,280
Speaker 15: the fundamentals that are critical, Like we're gonna play with detail,

1027
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 15: We're gonna play with technique, We're gonna play with fundamentals.

1028
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 15: There's gonna be a brand of football that that everybody

1029
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 15: associated with our with our team or fans is going

1030
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 15: to be proud of.

1031
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 8: Hi, Mike, welcome home. Oh thanks for taking questions.

1032
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 21: You've got the number four draft pick you've got some

1033
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 21: cap space. I assume mister Craft has told you the

1034
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 21: checkbook is open. What are some of the top priorities

1035
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 21: going forward for you to fill some holes on this team?

1036
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 8: Well, I think that player acquisition.

1037
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 15: I think you look at what's available in free agency

1038
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 15: and what you can feel like you can sign and

1039
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 15: then see where you come out of that.

1040
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 8: But certainly you look at the teams that that are

1041
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 8: able to you know.

1042
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 15: Protect the quarterback and dictate the flow of the game offensively,

1043
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 15: you know, making sure that upfront where we're sound, we're strong,

1044
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 15: whether that's through free agency or through the draft. That's

1045
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 15: something that's critical that the d linemen are just you know,

1046
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 15: they're they're getting better every year. They're getting more disruptive,

1047
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 15: they're getting bigger, they're getting more powerful.

1048
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 8: Uh.

1049
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 15: And so as they try to affect our quarterback, right,

1050
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 15: we have to have some things.

1051
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 8: That counterbalance that. Uh.

1052
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,760
Speaker 15: And obviously personnel is the first way, and then scheme

1053
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 15: and style and tempo and cadence and all those things

1054
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 15: that are play. If our players can handle it, you know,

1055
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,280
Speaker 15: then we'll shift, we'll motion, we'll go with different cadences,

1056
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 15: we'll go on the ball, and you know, try to

1057
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 15: do all those things that cause conflict, but it's going

1058
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:35,959
Speaker 15: to not be at.

1059
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 8: The expense of the players.

1060
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 15: And if the players can only handle a certain amount,

1061
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 15: then that's what we're gonna do and we're gonna.

1062
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 8: Get really good at it.

1063
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 15: So we're we're going to try to just you know,

1064
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 15: focus on on players that again we feel like fit

1065
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 15: us and fit into what we're doing, that are willing

1066
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 15: to commit to the team. And then also, you know, uh,

1067
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 15: try to find players that will hold each other countable.

1068
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 15: And we have to get to know each other. We

1069
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 15: have to get you know, we got to peel some

1070
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 15: layers back so that you can hold each other accountable, right,

1071
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 15: because if you don't trust the guy next to you,

1072
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 15: you don't believe in him, or you don't know anything

1073
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 15: about his family or how he was raised, when you

1074
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 15: hold him accountable, then there's you know, there's pushback, right.

1075
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,760
Speaker 15: And so what we're hoping to build is an environment,

1076
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 15: uh that everyone respects everyone else, that that we take

1077
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 15: time to to talk and ask and listen when when

1078
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 15: somebody asks you a question, uh, that that you sit

1079
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 15: there and you take time to answer and listen to him.

1080
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 15: It's important and not just have a bunch of flybys

1081
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 15: in the hallway and be like, Yo, how you doing,

1082
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 15: and then keep it moving that Hey, you know how

1083
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 15: you come out of that game, you know, I mean

1084
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 15: you'res a little banged up, how you're feeling, But that

1085
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 15: that takes time. You know, Those relationships take time, and

1086
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 15: I'm excited to start start building them.

1087
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 8: And Mike, welcome back.

1088
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 22: Hey, understanding there will probably a significant amount of overlap.

1089
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 22: How will your program here differ from the program you

1090
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 22: played in and then obviously coached against later when Bill

1091
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 22: was still here.

1092
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean it's gonna be all different players, new players,

1093
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 15: new coaches, some coaches that have remained, and people remember that,

1094
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 15: like they're gonna be some things like I'm not Bill,

1095
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 15: and I'm not Bill Cower.

1096
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 8: I'm not I'm not anyone other than me.

1097
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 15: And I've taken those experiences and I've tried to form

1098
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 15: what I believe is critical to the success of a

1099
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 15: football team and an organization. But you know, to say

1100
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 15: what those are going to look like, hopefully just as

1101
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 15: it's just as successful, you know, and our and our

1102
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 15: goals will be to win the AFC East, to host

1103
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 15: home playoff games, and to compete for championships like those.

1104
00:54:58,239 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 8: That's what it's.

1105
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 15: Gonna take and what the timeline is, just like we

1106
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 15: say with injuries, like we're not going to put a

1107
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 15: timeline on an injury, and we're certainly not going to

1108
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 15: put a timeline on what those will be, but that

1109
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 15: that's going to be the expectations, and we're going to

1110
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 15: work like crazy, and we're going to compete like crazy.

1111
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 8: We're going to give the players a plan.

1112
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 15: And and and they're going to form an identity on

1113
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 15: the field and the way that we're going to play

1114
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 15: uh and play for each other that they're going to

1115
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 15: be proud of. And we're not gonna you know, we

1116
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 15: just want to be good enough to take advantage of

1117
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 15: bad football. Like that's where we're going to start. And

1118
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 15: that's what I've tried to tell all the players is

1119
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 15: right now, I don't know if we're good enough to

1120
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 15: take advantage of bad football. I'm not sure like we're

1121
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 15: undefeated right now, but if we can just work towards

1122
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 15: taking advantage of bad football and being good enough to

1123
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 15: win somebody makes a mistake, capitalizing on it and not

1124
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 15: being the ones that make them mistakes and focusing on

1125
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 15: the little things and the details and helping them do

1126
00:55:58,440 --> 00:55:59,240
Speaker 15: their job better.

1127
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 8: That's great place to start. Welcome back, Mike, hy buddy,

1128
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 8: you don't look much different. Yes, I do.

1129
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 10: Uh.

1130
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 23: You mentioned you're not Bill. You had a special and

1131
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 23: unique relationship with him. What does it mean to you,

1132
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 23: if anything, to follow in his footsteps in this organization?

1133
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 8: Oh?

1134
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 15: I mean, I think it is unique, obviously, Like let's

1135
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 15: let's just be real for a minute and just say,

1136
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 15: you know, having played for him, and you know, having

1137
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 15: a competing against him, and then also having a friendship

1138
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 15: with Bill right along the way. You know, I think

1139
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 15: it's it's special. It's unique having played here knowing Bill.

1140
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 15: But again, we have to focus on things that are

1141
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 15: going to help us win now, help our players. Uh

1142
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 15: And and like I said, galvanized the Bill voting and

1143
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 15: the team.

1144
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 8: And our fan base. So I think that there's also things.

1145
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 15: I'm gonna try to explain to the players that there's

1146
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 15: things that are interesting and there are things that are important.

1147
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 15: I think me having played for Bill is interesting. I

1148
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 15: just don't know if it's important to help in our players.

1149
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 8: Mike, Welcome and congratulations.

1150
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 24: You were the hottest name on the coaching cycle this

1151
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 24: time around, presumably you had your pick of jobs. So

1152
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 24: personally professionally, what really separated this choice among the others.

1153
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 15: Well, I think that the ability to have open dialogue

1154
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 15: with Robert and Jonathan was something that was critical.

1155
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 8: Elliott and his staff.

1156
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 15: Obviously, what I believe and what everybody else believes is

1157
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 15: a as a young, dynamic quarterback. We have some youth

1158
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 15: on the roster, We have some veteran players that have

1159
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 15: kind of seen both sides of it and understand and

1160
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 15: that will help me and will help our players, you know,

1161
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 15: get back to that success and understand how hard it is.

1162
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 15: I do think that we're getting a different style of player,

1163
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 15: a different, you know, different player to the NFL, you know,

1164
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 15: one that you know, sometimes guys played four or five

1165
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 15: years in college in the same place under the same.

1166
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 8: Coach, and.

1167
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 15: We don't have a whole lot of behavior to change

1168
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 15: when they when they got to our league. And I

1169
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 15: think now with the NIL system that everyone is embracing

1170
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 15: and I'm all in favor of, but sometimes those players

1171
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 15: are at a school for six months and they may

1172
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 15: go to another school and with another leadership style and

1173
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 15: another structure, and so when they get to our league,

1174
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 15: there's some behavior that may have to change and we

1175
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 15: have to be willing to help.

1176
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 8: Them change it.

1177
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 15: And that's okay, Like, this is not an indictment on

1178
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 15: the college football system. This is just you know, you

1179
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 15: could go back and get a player from Malibyabama or

1180
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,919
Speaker 15: Ohio State or Notreed eight where they had been there

1181
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 15: for four or five years, maybe they red shirted and

1182
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 15: there was a consistent program and you felt comfortable.

1183
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 8: Adding that player.

1184
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 15: Now, you know, like I say, car to keep traka

1185
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 15: of where they went to school.

1186
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 8: And so that's not easy.

1187
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 15: But what we're willing to do to help those players

1188
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 15: that need to have some of those things changed in

1189
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 15: the commitment to the team, Like we're willing to do that.

1190
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 18: Hey, Mike back middle here, Hey, welcome back, Thank you.

1191
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 18: Looking forward to all our future and news conferences together.

1192
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 8: There's going to be more, I think.

1193
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 9: So.

1194
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 3: I think the league makes you do a few of them.

1195
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 8: I hear they're fun too, Just curious.

1196
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 18: One thing you've learned in your first experience from being

1197
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 18: a head coach, so you want to make sure you

1198
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 18: apply to your second time around.

1199
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 8: Oh, I mean I think there's so much. I think just.

1200
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 15: This connection piece man getting to know these players, and

1201
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 15: we're going to put so many points contact around our

1202
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 15: players that I understand that I'm gonna have a different

1203
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 15: relationship with some players.

1204
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 8: Than I do others. Right, I'm gonna have it.

1205
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 15: I'm gonna have a relationship with every single one of them.

1206
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 15: But then there's gonna be other ones that may may

1207
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 15: not be as strong, but they're gonna be with the

1208
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 15: position coach.

1209
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 8: And you know, we're not gonna have a whole lot

1210
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 8: of rules.

1211
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 15: We're gonna start with with being on time and being

1212
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 15: respectful and being able to communicate like anybody else would

1213
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 15: out outside this building if you were late for an appointment,

1214
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 15: if you had something going on.

1215
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 8: That we're going to have people.

1216
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 15: That are around the players for them to be able

1217
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 15: to trust and say, hey, I've got this going on,

1218
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 15: and I've tried to do this in Tennessee that if

1219
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 15: somebody walks in the door at seven forty five and

1220
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 15: they just you know, there's there's something on their face

1221
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 15: that they're they're wearing, something they're holding onto something that

1222
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 15: something's not right. I would rather give that player thirty

1223
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 15: minutes or forty five minutes, whatever, however much amount of

1224
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 15: time that he needs to take care of a situation,

1225
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 15: then the seven hours that he's going to waste wearing

1226
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 15: it through the day. And I want to provide as

1227
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 15: many points of contact.

1228
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 8: With the players so that they feel comfortable.

1229
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 15: And if that's coming to me, great, If that's coming

1230
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 15: to Elliott, great, if that's coming to our strength coach,

1231
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 15: or that's coming to our position coach, whoever that may be.

1232
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 15: I want them to have as many relationships in the

1233
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 15: building that they feel comfortable saying that you know, something's

1234
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 15: not right, or I need to communicate, or I'm going

1235
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 15: to be fifteen minutes like whatever it is. So I

1236
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 15: think that that's critical that we teach them some of

1237
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 15: those things that you know, there's more people that they

1238
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 15: impact than just themselves.

1239
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 8: A lot of questions.

1240
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 25: You're bad, my congratulations, Thank you, you said at the

1241
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 25: beginning of the press conference, you knew in your soul

1242
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 25: this was the place to be. Did you ever envision

1243
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 25: yourself or dream about this moment here when you were

1244
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 25: a player or even when you came back for the

1245
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 25: Hall of Fame induction, Did you ever dream about standing

1246
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 25: up here as the head coach of the Patriots.

1247
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean I think you know, I mean, I think,

1248
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 15: you know, probably more so when I started my coaching career, Like,

1249
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 15: I think it was important for me to to go

1250
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 15: somewhere else to start another coaching journey. The opportunity at

1251
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 15: one point was probably presented itself to be here at coaching,

1252
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 15: but I felt like it.

1253
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 8: Was important to to forge my own.

1254
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 15: Path somewhere else and if all those experiences led me

1255
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 15: back here at the right time and the right opportunity,

1256
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 15: then that was going to be what was meant to be.

1257
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 15: And so But but not coaching, you know, I mean,

1258
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 15: not coaching the Tennessee Titans. That that was never something

1259
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 15: that you know, took my time. But I think that

1260
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 15: when I started my coaching career, I said, man, let's

1261
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 15: go and let's see where we can go and take

1262
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 15: this and work with other people, and you know, if

1263
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 15: the time's right to go back, then then it'll be.

1264
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 8: Then there'll be right time. Might congratulations.

1265
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 6: How would you describe what type of offense you want

1266
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 6: to run and how does that tie to the traits

1267
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 6: that you'll be looking for in a play caller?

1268
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think that the offense again, we mentioned things

1269
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 15: like aggressive but not reckless, right, We have to be

1270
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 15: able to take chances. How do we create X plays

1271
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 15: without just you know, having to throw the ball down

1272
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 15: the field fifty yards and just sit there taking shots.

1273
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 8: Right? The creativity.

1274
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 15: You know we want we want to be I would

1275
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 15: say versatile enough if the players can handle it, right,

1276
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 15: I want to you know, you look at zone scheme

1277
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 15: in the run game, being able to run, you know,

1278
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 15: gap scheme to things that the defense may do, you know,

1279
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 15: be under center, being being the gun. You know whether

1280
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 15: it's but it's also important to understand. You know, everybody

1281
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 15: has access to this, and everybody has some experience with

1282
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 15: different types of offense, but it's what the players can

1283
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 15: get good at. How much can you reasonably do You

1284
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 15: don't want to dab things and say we're going to

1285
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 15: dabble in RPOs when the quarterback you know that's not

1286
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 15: a strength it is. And then being able to read

1287
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 15: and pull the ball and throw it. I mean, there's

1288
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 15: so much nickel pressure, right, how do you want to

1289
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 15: handle nickel pressure?

1290
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 4: Right?

1291
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 15: All these answers and different things that defenses are doing,

1292
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:23,439
Speaker 15: more split safety defenses, more simulated pressures, more disguised cover

1293
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 15: two right, and then you know, being able to go

1294
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 15: on the ball and try to be able to use

1295
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 15: an offense that goes on the ball at times and

1296
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 15: dictate tempo cadence. But again, it'll be based on what

1297
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 15: the players can understand and what they can handle, and

1298
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 15: we're not going to you know, put things that make

1299
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 15: them slow right that somebody told me a long time ago,

1300
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 15: you can't tell a difference between a player that's afraid

1301
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 15: to do it or doesn't know how to do it right,

1302
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 15: And so they kind of just stand there with that look.

1303
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 8: And we're not going to stand you know, We're going

1304
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 8: to be moving.

1305
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 15: We're going to demand effort and finish. Like people ask

1306
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 15: what non negotiables are, work with our effort in our

1307
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 15: finish is going to be the contract that we make

1308
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 15: with with our teammates, and that'll be something that that'll be.

1309
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 8: My job to make sure.

1310
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 15: That's the greatest compliment that you could ever give a coach,

1311
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 15: by the way, not that he has great plays or

1312
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 15: great blitz. It's, man, you guys, your players play their

1313
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 15: ass off, and trust me, when somebody that's a respected

1314
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 15: coach tells you that, you'll you'll you'll thank the players

1315
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 15: and you'll you'll care about them and you'll do whatever

1316
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 15: you can for him, because that's the greatest compliment that

1317
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 15: you could ever get.

1318
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 8: So time to get to work in good stays. Thank you.

1319
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 2: This is paid It's Unfiltered, presented by Toyota's official website.

1320
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 2: For deals, buy a Toyota dot com.

1321
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 4: All right, well we are back right from the Mike

1322
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 4: Rabel press conference. We hustled down Paul and I from

1323
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 4: the Sports Illustrated Pavilion.

1324
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 5: Made me run to the press cor my niece.

1325
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 4: I thought we left early enough. We get up to

1326
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 4: the concourse and then there's this caravan of golf cars.

1327
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh no, they're They're already on their way. So, yeah,

1328
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 4: we were good.

1329
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 5: We got there at the beginning. Yeah, we timed it perfectly.

1330
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 4: We cut it all my self. Abel give us a

1331
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 4: look as we walked down the stairs, though he was

1332
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 4: who's late.

1333
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 10: I'll take who's late.

1334
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 3: I'll take your word for it based on what he said.

1335
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 3: If we had a good excuse, he probably.

1336
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 8: Would have given us.

1337
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 5: Yes, well, he saw the look on the face. He

1338
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 5: needs a little time there.

1339
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 4: He is on ninety eight point five right now. But

1340
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 4: so opening thoughts. I know we're going to get into

1341
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 4: what our listeners have to say and hear what there react.

1342
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 4: But initial reaction just I.

1343
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 6: Think he's an experienced coach. It looked like, you know,

1344
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 6: he was in control, he knew, you know, what was

1345
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 6: going to be asked and yeah, I mean, you know,

1346
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 6: a little coach speak. I think that's to be expected,

1347
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 6: you know what we're going to do. But you know,

1348
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 6: I think if you boil it down, a lot of

1349
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 6: the same messages of getting to know the players, empowering

1350
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 6: the players. But it just seems like an experienced guy

1351
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 6: who knows what the deal is and knows how to

1352
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 6: go about it.

1353
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, comfortable. I thought he was comfortable in the environment,

1354
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 5: which is to be expected a guy with with some experience.

1355
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 5: Thought it was a little low key, that was a

1356
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 5: little sort of understated.

1357
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 4: Compared to the last one.

1358
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1359
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 5: Now, I would say Mike and I were talking as

1360
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 5: we were walking back over and I would say, you know,

1361
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 5: I'll take this over last year there were a lot

1362
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 5: of things that we were all immediately looking at each

1363
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 5: other like why do we say this, so, why do

1364
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 5: we do that?

1365
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 10: Why are we talking about silos?

1366
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 5: Well, you know what, I'll take this sort of button

1367
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 5: down like football approach back to me days. I mean,

1368
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 5: like I would say, Patriots Man's like boring is good,

1369
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 5: all is good, Like we're getting to work. We have

1370
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 5: a lot of work to do, right, And I thought

1371
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 5: Mike sort of conveyed that.

1372
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1373
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 6: I think in retrospect, last year felt a little bit

1374
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 6: like ding dong the Witch is dead and.

1375
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 3: A little bit of celebration that were too much away

1376
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 3: from Bill now, you know, and this just this felt

1377
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 3: back to business for me. You know, a couple of

1378
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 3: things that stood out.

1379
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 6: I thought he you know, stressed the importance of offensive

1380
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 6: line protection, liked him mentioned in the past game. I'm

1381
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 6: sure Evan Evan Evan like at that particular moment. But

1382
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 6: you know, I just think philosophically, he said some of

1383
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 6: the right things.

1384
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 10: Think.

1385
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 5: He said something like you have to be dynamic in

1386
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 5: the passing game. And he also called his young efficient

1387
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 5: in the passing game. He called his quarterback a young

1388
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 5: dynamic quarterback. Yeah, that was the dynamic part.

1389
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1390
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 4: Good.

1391
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 5: One of the one of the things that you know,

1392
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 5: excited him about the job, that led him, you know,

1393
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 5: why why he wanted this job, And it was one

1394
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 5: of the things he mentioned.

1395
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 4: And it sounds like he's had, you know, pretty extensive

1396
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,679
Speaker 4: conversations at least over the weekend with Elliott.

1397
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, directly. I mean I think that's you know,

1398
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 3: one point. It sounds like a lot of things are

1399
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 3: still in motion with this right now. It seems like,

1400
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 3: you know, even s what I was most surprised. Smattering

1401
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 3: of coaches were there, so we did see some of

1402
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 3: those people.

1403
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 6: There are a couple of players we saw, Joe Cardona.

1404
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 3: David Andrews. Yeah, that was another one I thought I

1405
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 3: saw him. So it seems like they're still figuring it out.

1406
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 6: But it does sound like he's already been in contact

1407
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 6: with Elliott and that, you know, all signs are pointing

1408
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 6: to that.

1409
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 5: He talked to a lot of players, he said already to,

1410
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 5: including Drake May when he was asked specifically about that.

1411
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:26,719
Speaker 5: The one thing I would say that I really got

1412
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 5: entirely wrong is I mentioned in our pre show before

1413
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 5: the press conference, I thought we'd have a lot of

1414
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 5: answers to some of these questions. We didn't get any

1415
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 5: answers to any of those questions. And I don't think

1416
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 5: Mike was being coy. I think there are still a

1417
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 5: lot of things to be decided.

1418
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 4: Even the Cowen question, he said, nothing's been settled.

1419
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 5: Yeah. The only thing I would take from it is

1420
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 5: what Mike said about his He had several references to

1421
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 5: conversations with Elliott. My guess is Elliott's going to be

1422
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 5: part of this at least in the short term. But

1423
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 5: we had no real direction offensive or defensive coordinator, and

1424
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 5: no resolution is in terms of Brian Cowden.

1425
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, so yep. But like Paul said, and you know,

1426
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:14,799
Speaker 4: I'm assuming if you're watching this, you watch the press conference.

1427
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 4: It was low key compared to last year. Last year

1428
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 4: was a lot more fanfare, a lot more fun. You know,

1429
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 4: this is all right, we got work to do. I'm

1430
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 4: here to I was here to do a job, and

1431
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 4: I've got a big one ahead of me, so let's

1432
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 4: get to work.

1433
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 6: I think you just realized too how unique this day is.

1434
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 6: And this isn't really a day about football. This is

1435
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 6: kind of a pomp and circumstance kind of let's introduce him.

1436
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 6: You know, maybe we would have liked to get in

1437
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 6: some more answers than we got, but generally this is

1438
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 6: just you know, this is such a unique part of

1439
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 6: the year when it's like, all right, let's get to

1440
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 6: work down to business. Then we're gonna get into press

1441
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 6: conferences and you know that's when it really starts to

1442
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 6: you know, you start to really understand him. But I

1443
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 6: just impressed as always, you know, you know, the guy

1444
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 6: who's experienced, thought it was good about talking about Cleveland,

1445
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 6: which you know, I think the inference we were talking

1446
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 6: about that was like, well, Mike knew he didn't no

1447
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,719
Speaker 6: offense and needed to go there, and from his sounding,

1448
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 6: it sounded more like Kevin Stefanski kind of thought putting

1449
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 6: a defensive coach on the offensive side of the ball

1450
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 6: for a different perspective.

1451
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 3: So I agree that was that was a good little,

1452
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 3: a little good little.

1453
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 5: As a total aside, do you feel like Kevin Stefanski

1454
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,640
Speaker 5: is held in much higher regard within his peers and

1455
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 5: around the league than he is probably in the fans

1456
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 5: by fans.

1457
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 4: Probably, yeah.

1458
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1459
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people think very highly of

1460
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 5: Kevin Stefanski.

1461
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think they know the situation that he's

1462
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 4: been thrust into. He didn't sign that.

1463
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 5: Quarterback anyway, uh, you know. And more aside breaking news,

1464
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 5: I guess it looks like the Cowboys and Mike McCarthy

1465
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 5: are going to part ways.

1466
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 8: Oh, I did.

1467
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:44,639
Speaker 5: He will not be he will not be signing an extension.

1468
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 5: I think Schefter had it.

1469
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 4: Well, you know, Florio had a story today. I don't

1470
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 4: know if you saw it. I did not about one

1471
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick and how people at U and C are

1472
01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 4: starting to get a little nervous because.

1473
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 5: He hasn't feel out his staff. Bill Belichick to Dallas.

1474
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 3: This is the staff, Well, this is it these six guys.

1475
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,639
Speaker 4: I did think it was a little interesting. Somebody brought

1476
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 4: up Bill Belichick at the press conference. You know, I

1477
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 4: forget exactly what what did you learn or what did

1478
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 4: you take from him? And and while Vrabel you know,

1479
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 4: didn't completely dismiss it, he turned the focus of the

1480
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 4: answer more to let's let's look ahead. You know, he said,

1481
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,599
Speaker 4: it's it's not important to the players that I played

1482
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 4: for Bill Belichick might be interesting, but it's not important.

1483
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1484
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I thought Tiptoe, I think he was

1485
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 6: just he was measured with the way he responded to that,

1486
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 6: and rightly so. I mean, I think there is still

1487
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 6: an element too of respect for Gerrod and you know,

1488
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 6: just it's also fresh still that I think going into

1489
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 6: this whole thing praising Bill would have just I felt

1490
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 6: that would have been a little tone deaf. So I

1491
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 6: thought he handled that, you know, pretty well. But you know,

1492
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 6: it's just it's hard. The guy's greatest coach of all time,

1493
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 6: and yeah, he's prickly and people have complicated relationships with him.

1494
01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 6: But I think everybody knows that what Bill Belichick taught Mike,

1495
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 6: anyone who'll coach.

1496
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 4: Under him, anyone who played under him, took something from him.

1497
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 4: There's no doubt about that. But Rabel, you know, he's

1498
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 4: his own man.

1499
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 8: Uh.

1500
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 4: He wants make sure everyone knows that, you know, he's

1501
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 4: his own guy. And yeah, he talked about his team

1502
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 4: and he says, I want my players to be their

1503
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 4: own I don't want them all to be like me,

1504
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 4: you know. I want them to all have their own things.

1505
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 4: And you know, they will have all stuff going on

1506
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 4: off the field that if I know about those things

1507
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 4: and I take an interest in those things, will build

1508
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 4: that sort of accountability and trust amongst each other. And

1509
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 4: we heard that from other people before he got here.

1510
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 4: I think Taylor that video that you were talking about,

1511
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 4: you know, he mentioned that like he'll he'll he'll work

1512
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 4: with you if you have something going on outside the game.

1513
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 4: He'll work with you as long as you communicate well.

1514
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 5: And the other thing that always stood out to me,

1515
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 5: and I know that sometimes when we see these things

1516
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 5: and these viral clips, there's a reason we see them,

1517
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 5: But that shot after the game where the center was

1518
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 5: Ben Jones and Jones who clearly played through something a

1519
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,720
Speaker 5: little bit above and beyond what normal guys would play

1520
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 5: normal bumps and bruises, and that reaction that Rabel had

1521
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 5: to him after that game, I think that's the kind

1522
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 5: of connection he tries to establish with his players.

1523
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 3: Super emotional.

1524
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 6: I mean that you could feel it from from Rabel

1525
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 6: like that, and I think him talking today, you can

1526
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 6: kind of feel it's based on experience of working with

1527
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 6: guys and working with players and knowing the complicated bits

1528
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,799
Speaker 6: that can come back. I think last year's press conference

1529
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 6: felt a little bit more in theory and you know

1530
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:36,600
Speaker 6: how how I'd like to do it, but you just

1531
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 6: feel I felt Rabel's experience kind of shine through a

1532
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 6: lot of his answers, and you know, he just doesn't

1533
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 6: tell he doesn't feel pressure from the questions.

1534
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 3: He's used to it.

1535
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 6: I mean, I loved how he called Karen out and

1536
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 6: you know, gave her a little a little compliment.

1537
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 4: Everybody should have been the first one.

1538
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, she should.

1539
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 4: She's been on this beat, I think longer than almost

1540
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 4: anyone right now. All the lot of the old people

1541
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 4: are gone, we don't count. Karen's been on this beat

1542
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 4: longer than us.

1543
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 5: She was bruined when I started here.

1544
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 4: Well, she's been working in the definitely.

1545
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's had a like just and I know I

1546
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:11,640
Speaker 5: say this all the time, a storied career. Yeah, she

1547
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 5: is the best reporter in that room. I say this

1548
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 5: to her. She gets mad at me. She's embarrassed, but

1549
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:20,759
Speaker 5: she is she isn't just in the ultimate professional.

1550
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think she's been covering sports for

1551
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 4: a long time, probably longer than most people in that room.

1552
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 5: I would say, so.

1553
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, so many old Patriots has so much respect for her,

1554
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 6: Like I've in fears and I mean you just you

1555
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 6: see how all the players, coaches, they love her.

1556
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,679
Speaker 5: Well. She has a great way about her. She goes

1557
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:40,679
Speaker 5: about her business in such a you know, and she's

1558
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,599
Speaker 5: not afraid to ask tough questions. It's not about sort

1559
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,840
Speaker 5: of being right positive all the time. It's being professional

1560
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 5: all the time. It's a difference she.

1561
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 6: Seems to have a genuine curiosity, like that's you know

1562
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 6: to me. You can tell some people are reading the

1563
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:54,600
Speaker 6: tea leaves or what the story of the day is.

1564
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 6: And with Karen, I always feel like she's kind of

1565
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 6: doing her own thing and asking good questions. But it's

1566
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 6: not because she's fallowing the wind of what everybody else

1567
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 6: is saying. It's it's what her perspective on the team is.

1568
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 4: So now my thing is I got to get very

1569
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 4: able to be the keynote or at the coaches clinic

1570
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:08,880

01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 5: I get my nephew there. Huh yeah, all signed up.

1572
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tyler Perolo from Endicott coming over, signed up.

1573
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 5: He's going to the coach Well he's yeah, he's the

1574
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 5: tight Ends coach.

1575
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 6: He got the po school of time management all squared away.

1576
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 6: He knows how to use his timeouts and everything.

1577
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:27,720
Speaker 5: It's an area that the head coach struggles in.

1578
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 4: Just let you know, okay, just to let you know.

1579
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:32,599
Speaker 4: Paul's made that known to Tyler.

1580
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 5: I got a little bit of a I got a

1581
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 5: little bit of a problem.

1582
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 4: It was a packed room. All the seats were taken standing,

1583
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 4: Ramona behind and most of this staff, the current staff

1584
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 4: were standing up behind the seats. I think everybody was

1585
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:50,640
Speaker 4: there as far as the support crew. You know, I

1586
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:52,680
Speaker 4: don't know about assistant coaches.

1587
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:56,599
Speaker 5: But we saw we saw Mike pellgre Tyler Hughes. You

1588
01:16:56,640 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 5: saw the assistant offensive line coach, Robert Coogler there you go,

1589
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 5: Yeah him too.

1590
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 4: Elliott was there.

1591
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,680
Speaker 5: Elliott, I saw Mac grow saw a couple of other

1592
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 5: people in the personnel department.

1593
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 4: Saw Smitty Smitty.

1594
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 5: Cam Williams saw there.

1595
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Patrick Stewart was there.

1596
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 3: Was there?

1597
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, So yeah, I think there was a pretty good mix.

1598
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 5: I didn't. I don't think there were as many unless

1599
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 5: I mean just certainly possible. A lot of people were

1600
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 5: sitting down and we were behind like the cameras. I

1601
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 5: didn't see a ton of players.

1602
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:30,720
Speaker 4: Now.

1603
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 5: Last year it seemed like there were more players around.

1604
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:34,720
Speaker 5: But there were a couple of guys that I didn't know.

1605
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 5: I didn't recognize that I and frankly, they could be

1606
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 5: players now, and I'm not in the locker room all

1607
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 5: the time, so I wasn't sure they might be.

1608
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 8: Ye.

1609
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:46,640
Speaker 4: So all right, now we can start yeah podcast at

1610
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 4: Patriots dot com is the email address. The tpx hutline

1611
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 4: is eighty five past five hundred Evans just getting here. Uh,

1612
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 4: your initial thoughts.

1613
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, I thought a lot of football which was good

1614
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 10: to hear, and obviously the focus on the trenches and

1615
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 10: offensive line. I thought that showed pretty good understanding of

1616
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 10: where things are at right now for the Patriots and

1617
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 10: what's going wrong. And I think the last thing that

1618
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 10: stood out to me was the question when he was

1619
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 10: asked what your role in Drake's development was gonna be.

1620
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 10: He had an answer right away, and I thought he

1621
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 10: gave a great answer in terms of game management and

1622
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 10: situational awareness. We all know Drake's extremely talented. We all

1623
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 10: know that he's got all the ability in the world.

1624
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 10: But for them to win and lose football games here

1625
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 10: and get on the right side of things, he's got

1626
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 10: to learn that aspect of the game. And I felt

1627
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 10: very brady to Bill to me, you know, in terms

1628
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 10: of we're gonna sit down, we're gonna talk about, you know,

1629
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 10: what we're gonna do in certain situations, and how we're

1630
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 10: gonna handle games and how we're gonna get it across

1631
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 10: the finish line and things like that, And I thought

1632
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:58,759
Speaker 10: that was that was good to hear. That wasn't passing

1633
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 10: the buck to the offensive coordinator whoever he ends up hiring.

1634
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 10: That was you know, this is going to be my

1635
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 10: right and I like what he said.

1636
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 4: You know, our first step is to get to be

1637
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 4: good enough to take advantage of bad football.

1638
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 3: I love that. Yeah, I love that too.

1639
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 6: You know that was something I was thinking of as

1640
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 6: I was, you know, just putting looking at the schedule

1641
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 6: and realizing, I think the Patriots are gonna play I

1642
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 6: believe it's seven or eight of the top ten picking

1643
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 6: teams this year, so seven of the eight bottom the league.

1644
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 6: You're gonna play the worst teams in the league next year.

1645
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 6: So just be the best of the bad, you know,

1646
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 6: beat those teams that can't get out of their own way.

1647
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 6: I think it's a good it's a good first step.

1648
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 6: I think it's a good way to look at it.

1649
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 4: Yeap, what did you think about him talking about having

1650
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 4: an efficient passing game?

1651
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1652
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:44,679
Speaker 4: Is that a does that say? Does that raise any

1653
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 4: flags with you?

1654
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 10: Well, there's a difference between efficient and high volume, right,

1655
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 10: So I guess that depends on what your definition is

1656
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,640
Speaker 10: of that. In Tennessee, they were with Ryan Tannehill an

1657
01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 10: efficient passing game, but they just didn't a lot, So

1658
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 10: can you be efficient with twenty twenty five attempts a game?

1659
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:07,760
Speaker 10: And is that how he wants to play? I still

1660
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 10: wonder about that aspect, but hearing him talking about protecting

1661
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:16,640
Speaker 10: the quarterback affecting the quarterback on defense, that to me

1662
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 10: showed that he knows that this is about the passing

1663
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:20,759
Speaker 10: game and building through the offense.

1664
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 5: And you look at like just the weekend's games and

1665
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 5: the winning teams. I could have a counter argument to this,

1666
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 5: but the winning teams all through the ball, like twenty

1667
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 5: five times. I think Josh Allen had twenty six. I

1668
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:36,639
Speaker 5: think Lamar Jackson had twenty one. I think Jalen Hurts

1669
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 5: had twenty four. Like, the teams that won the games

1670
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 5: kind of ran the ball very effectively. And then my

1671
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 5: argument would be and therefore kept the opponent in the

1672
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 5: game for longer than they should have been, because I

1673
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 5: thought especially Baltimore and Buffalo completely dominated their games. But

1674
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 5: there's three minutes left in the third quarter and Buffalo's

1675
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:58,679
Speaker 5: up thirteen to seven. The game wasn't competitive to that point,

1676
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 5: and they're only up thirty team to seven, and Josh

1677
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:03,560
Speaker 5: Allen does a couple of Josh Allen Things makes a

1678
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 5: couple of throws and the game's over. But I think

1679
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:09,840
Speaker 5: you need to be really efficient if you're going to

1680
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 5: throw it that infrequently. And those teams were, I mean

1681
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 5: they made, you know, Lamar open the scoring with a

1682
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 5: great touchdown pass to Bateman, great throw coming across the

1683
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 5: back line of the end zone. So I think there's

1684
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 5: an argument to me made both sides. You know, efficiency

1685
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 5: works in the passing game, not volume. But I would

1686
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 5: argue that it's kind of hard to put teams away

1687
01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 5: that way.

1688
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 4: You have to be sure of who your team is

1689
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 4: and how they're playing that day and how the game

1690
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 4: declares itself. All right, let's get to the phones. Let's

1691
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 4: get your reaction TPX outline A five to five pass,

1692
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 4: five hundred. Christian's been on the line for about an

1693
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 4: hour and a half. So what's up, Christian?

1694
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 26: Hey you guys, well, just recovering from the wildfires here

1695
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 26: in LA.

1696
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:54,799
Speaker 4: How are you doing personally?

1697
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 26: You okay, Yeah, my mind's a little a little freed

1698
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 26: out out here. Everyone's just just devastated emotionally. We were

1699
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 26: I don't know, I mean, I know it's just prayers

1700
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 26: and blessings, but amongst all the damage of fifty three

1701
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,720
Speaker 26: hundred homes. We live in the Palisades, and we were

1702
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 26: one of the houses on the on the edge of

1703
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 26: the fire that was spared. So we're trying to figure

1704
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:21,679
Speaker 26: out ways to turn that blessing around to other people.

1705
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 26: But but that's yeah, that's that's that's the stuff here

1706
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 26: football wise, guys, I know you guys are are very

1707
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:34,639
Speaker 26: enamorous with Brabel, but and I don't want to prove

1708
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 26: pool it. I just want to say this. It just

1709
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 26: seems like we are still trying to hold on to

1710
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 26: the glory days, remnants of the dynasty, and even braveelhom

1711
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,639
Speaker 26: said himself said getting back to winning waste. I don't

1712
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 26: want to go back to anything. I want to move

1713
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 26: forward to the new era of how to win in

1714
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 26: the modern game. That's advancing faster than it seems like

1715
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 26: our philosophies trying to adjust to it. I know, you know,

1716
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 26: he's a defensive minded, run first guy. He had Derreck Henry.

1717
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 26: We don't, so I'm just a little bit I'm wary.

1718
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 26: I'm not I'm not poo pooving him. I love Mike

1719
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 26: Brabell that he comes with a foundational knowledge of the

1720
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 26: game with a full complement of team. You know, how

1721
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 26: to build a team or organizational skills. But what I

1722
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 26: did not hear and what I think, like you guys said,

1723
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 26: I don't really see a vision for the offense. I know, Yeah,

1724
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,640
Speaker 26: everybody wants to have an efficient path and game. What

1725
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 26: is his vision for today's offense? Not what we used

1726
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,560
Speaker 26: to do or how he used to do it or

1727
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 26: how he did it with Tennessee with a Hall of

1728
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 26: Fame running back and a middling quarterback? What are we

1729
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:48,760
Speaker 26: going to do to move forward? Do you guys have

1730
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:52,920
Speaker 26: any ideas about Rable with moving forward into the new

1731
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 26: offensive philosophies that are I wanted a tight pants guy.

1732
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean my idea is that he's smart enough

1733
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 4: to know what he doesn't know, to hire good people,

1734
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 4: like he said, and surround Drake May with the best

1735
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 4: people possible. He knows, he said it. He knows he's

1736
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 4: got a dynamic quarterback. To me, that means a guy

1737
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,640
Speaker 4: who can do a lot of different things with his

1738
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 4: arm and his legs. And Vrabel's smart enough to know

1739
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 4: he's gonna have to have an offense to take advantage

1740
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 4: of that. Yeah, he knows. He doesn't have Derrick Henry. Yeah,

1741
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 4: you know, so, I like, if he thinks he's gonna

1742
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:31,720
Speaker 4: do exactly what he did in Tennessee, then then we

1743
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,640
Speaker 4: got problems. Every team's going to be different. But I

1744
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 4: think he's smart enough to know that.

1745
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 26: Can I ask you guys one question? What was his

1746
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 26: drafting record? Like with him and his I know he

1747
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 26: didn't person do the drafting, or maybe he did, but

1748
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 26: what was his drafting record with the picks that he

1749
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,560
Speaker 26: made or under his regime? How much success did he

1750
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 26: have with that with wide receivers or anything of that nature.

1751
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 5: Do you guys know, pretty pretty good? I mean, he's

1752
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,639
Speaker 5: a little uneven, but you know, Aj Brown and Justin Simmons,

1753
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:03,639
Speaker 5: they drafted some good players. They weren't all home Carol

1754
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 5: Landry another good draft pick they had.

1755
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, they were. They started on a heater, I

1756
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 10: feel like, and then they kind of tempered off towards

1757
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 10: the end, which is what often happens.

1758
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and I'm sure there's stories there because as

1759
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 4: we know, there was some division between him and personnel

1760
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 4: and there was a battle for control that he ended

1761
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 4: up winning, and then eventually it might have cost him

1762
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 4: his job because of how he brushed people the wrong

1763
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 4: way there.

1764
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:30,840
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.

1765
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 26: That's what scares me, right, Like, did he make the

1766
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 26: decision to trade aj Brown?

1767
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:38,160
Speaker 5: He was against them, He was against that.

1768
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was one of the beginnings of the end

1769
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:42,639
Speaker 4: for him. I think.

1770
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, it caused a huge rift between he and

1771
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 5: John Robinson at the time, and it looked like he

1772
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 5: was winning that power struggle. But in retrospect, I think

1773
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 5: it ended up being detrimental to everybody because number one,

1774
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 5: they tried to replace him with Traylon Burke's which didn't

1775
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 5: work because obviously one guy can play and one guy can't.

1776
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 5: So you know, to Evan's point, they were on a

1777
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:09,559
Speaker 5: heater a little bit in the draft, and then not

1778
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 5: so much. And then I think when he came here

1779
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 5: for his Hall of Fame ceremony, that did not sit

1780
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 5: well with people in Tennessee. Yeah, and I think that

1781
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:19,639
Speaker 5: led to his ouster.

1782
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:23,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, Christian, I mean, okay, go ahead, you held

1783
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 4: out for a long time. One more question was over

1784
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 4: and now yeah.

1785
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:29,679
Speaker 26: Yeah, how many defensive minded coaches have ever built really

1786
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 26: successful offense is in their.

1787
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:35,679
Speaker 5: REGIMEE Well, it depends what you define as really special.

1788
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 5: I mean, I think Houston was pretty good offense. I

1789
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:43,400
Speaker 5: think when Houston was was when healthy. I think they

1790
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 5: have a pretty good offense. And that's I'm trying to

1791
01:26:45,479 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 5: be modern. I'm not trying to go back to like

1792
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 5: two thousand and seven.

1793
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 4: Has a pretty good offense.

1794
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 10: Defensive that's good. That's a good one. That's a good

1795
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 10: bring up, you know. I think the Texans currently, I

1796
01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 10: think that's what you're talking about with Bobby Slowank and CJ.

1797
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 10: Strouder or in a good spot. But all of his concerns, Christian,

1798
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 10: all your concerns about the offense or everything that we

1799
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 10: brought up last week when this was all being rumored

1800
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 10: express to happen. And I think the one thing that

1801
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 10: he said today was we got to find out what

1802
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:13,839
Speaker 10: our players can execute.

1803
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 3: You know.

1804
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:15,679
Speaker 10: It would be great for him to come up there

1805
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:18,639
Speaker 10: and say, oh, we're going to be, you know, an

1806
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 10: outside zone based scheme, or we're going to be a

1807
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:22,519
Speaker 10: spread based scheme or whatever the case may be. But

1808
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 10: they might not have the horses to run that kind

1809
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 10: of offense. So he said he wants to be versatile,

1810
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 10: you know, and he wants to be creative offensively and

1811
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 10: be able to do a bunch of different things. But

1812
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 10: he brought up r pos, Like, if our quarterback isn't

1813
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 10: good at r pos, then we can't run RPOs. Right,

1814
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 10: So he said, the gap you means drake. Drake's okay, bike,

1815
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:48,920
Speaker 10: give me more, give me more nickel pressure. Like that

1816
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 10: was a good one. Yeah, But like they we'll see,

1817
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 10: like we'll see what we'll kind of figure out. I

1818
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 10: think what kind of offense they want to build based

1819
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 10: off of their personnel moves, based off of their actions,

1820
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 10: you know what what is that? But they put together

1821
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:03,360
Speaker 10: right now, they don't have an offense, so it's hard

1822
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 10: to say what they're gonna right.

1823
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,720
Speaker 4: He doesn't have a coordinator, he doesn't have an offense yet,

1824
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 4: so it's a little early for those detailed questions. And listen,

1825
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 4: even when he has them, he's not going to just

1826
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 4: give it all away.

1827
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 3: You know.

1828
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 4: He wants to have some element of surprise for the opponent.

1829
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 4: So but again I go back to football IQ. We

1830
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 4: know he's got it. He's demonstrated that as a player,

1831
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 4: he's demonstrated that as a coach, so he's he's I

1832
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 4: think he knows you have to adapt, h and you

1833
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,720
Speaker 4: have to adapt around your personnel. Uh so, you know,

1834
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 4: right now it's roster building time. You know, it's we

1835
01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:44,720
Speaker 4: got to get this roster together. I would hope that

1836
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:48,000
Speaker 4: before they get too into that, they do have an

1837
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 4: OC picked so that OC can be part of that process,

1838
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 4: because I think that's important.

1839
01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, I feel like the next deadline is mobile, right, like, yeah,

1840
01:28:56,600 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 10: you have to you want to probably have your staff

1841
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 10: in place by the time the Senior Bowl in the

1842
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 10: Shrine and then the Combine obviously next month starts to roll,

1843
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 10: because that's when you're going to have the most opportunity

1844
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:08,519
Speaker 10: to get to know these kids that are coming into

1845
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 10: the draft.

1846
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:12,320
Speaker 4: Yep, let's go back to the TPX cut line Patty's

1847
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:13,599
Speaker 4: and agawan. What's up Patty?

1848
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:15,920
Speaker 11: So guys can hear me?

1849
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:18,519
Speaker 4: Okay, yep, Matt, you want to turn that up a

1850
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 4: little just yeah, that's good.

1851
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 8: Thanks.

1852
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:23,640
Speaker 27: So my question is regarding the staff, like, if he

1853
01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:26,679
Speaker 27: has a staff built up, can he just bring them

1854
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 27: in or does he have to just bring in his

1855
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:32,160
Speaker 27: like all the positional guys and interview for all the coordinators.

1856
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 27: Then I'll take it off there, guys.

1857
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 4: So that's a good question. I mean, in terms of

1858
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:39,200
Speaker 4: hiring coordinators, what is that. What are the rules around.

1859
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:41,479
Speaker 10: That Rooney rule? Yeah, so if you open up a

1860
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 10: search for offensive and defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator outside

1861
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:48,559
Speaker 10: the building. So let's just say they're not retaining Alex

1862
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:50,639
Speaker 10: van Pelt and they're going to go in a different direction,

1863
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 10: then they have to adhere to a hiring process. So

1864
01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:54,720
Speaker 10: you got to go through the Rooney rule and you

1865
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,800
Speaker 10: have to interview minority candidates and the whole thing. So

1866
01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:00,160
Speaker 10: it could be that part of it could probably be

1867
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 10: a little bit longer than this part of it was

1868
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 10: in that respect.

1869
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:07,439
Speaker 4: Okay, although Pep Hamilton and Byron Leftwich, maybe they doubled up,

1870
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 4: maybe they already interviewed them as OC's.

1871
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,400
Speaker 5: No, I don't think that's something we should be joking about.

1872
01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:16,640
Speaker 4: To Rabel worked with Pep Hamilton at Texas? Didn't he

1873
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:19,639
Speaker 4: at the Texans? Were they together there?

1874
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:20,559
Speaker 10: I don't believe.

1875
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:21,719
Speaker 4: So, No, they didn't cross.

1876
01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 10: Now, Pep Hamilton came in the regime after Bill O'Brien. Okay,

1877
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:27,679
Speaker 10: David Culley, all.

1878
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 4: Right, let's go to who do we have Ray in Atlanta?

1879
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:32,559
Speaker 4: What's up?

1880
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:32,840
Speaker 8: Ray?

1881
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:34,680
Speaker 9: Hey?

1882
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:37,080
Speaker 4: Guys doing the Okay.

1883
01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:44,320
Speaker 9: Hey, I'm excited of the press conference. Definitely. I'm definitely

1884
01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 9: a good spirits. I'm real positive and optimistic about Rabel

1885
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 9: being our coach. I know, I have a feeling. Matter

1886
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 9: of fact, I know that we don't be balling out

1887
01:30:56,920 --> 01:30:59,599
Speaker 9: next year. Ain't no way. We have Rabel and we're

1888
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 9: not gonna all out next year. Look at what he is.

1889
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:07,000
Speaker 9: He's a great coach. Understand, he's not Belichick, He's not this,

1890
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:10,760
Speaker 9: he's not that he is. He's Bravo. He's his own man,

1891
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 9: his own person, his own coach, and no one will

1892
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:18,200
Speaker 9: ever be Belichick. You know that that's even done comparing

1893
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:21,200
Speaker 9: them too. You know he can only be himself, which

1894
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:24,799
Speaker 9: is a great coach, and with his knowledge of the game,

1895
01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 9: he's gonna make sure that the offense and the defense

1896
01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 9: is up the par and doing what they need to do,

1897
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:36,920
Speaker 9: you know, beyond doing your job. You know, execute, execute, execute.

1898
01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:40,600
Speaker 9: So I take Rabol coach Rabel on face value. I

1899
01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 9: know we're gonna I know we're gonna be better than

1900
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 9: the two years prior. I know that for a fact,

1901
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:50,639
Speaker 9: this for face value of who he is and what

1902
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:53,720
Speaker 9: he and what he had done as a coach, let

1903
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 9: alone as a player. Back in the days when I

1904
01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 9: was watching. So I look forward to this. I know

1905
01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:03,240
Speaker 9: a lot of Patriotis and and media people, you know

1906
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:05,720
Speaker 9: that they're happy about this. You know this, this this

1907
01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 9: is a breath of fresh air, you know. And what

1908
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:12,320
Speaker 9: like I said, we're gonna be bumping out next year.

1909
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:17,280
Speaker 9: I guarantee it. I guarantee it, you know, and it's

1910
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:20,880
Speaker 9: gonna be fun, it's gonna be exciting. I don't have

1911
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 9: no nothing to worry about. I just want to see

1912
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 9: how everything na bods, the draft, the different players. We

1913
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 9: know that we have to mix modern with the ancient,

1914
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:36,800
Speaker 9: meaning the old man's knowledge has to keep up with

1915
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:41,040
Speaker 9: this young man's game. You know, the new techniques, the

1916
01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:45,559
Speaker 9: you know, not the pocket but the passing, the running,

1917
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 9: everything everything is young now, so you know the knowledge

1918
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:55,880
Speaker 9: of the games twenty years and back for where was

1919
01:32:55,920 --> 01:33:00,760
Speaker 9: born I was, but I'm also even an eye on

1920
01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:05,840
Speaker 9: the modern plays as games and techniques and and just

1921
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:08,519
Speaker 9: you know how it's a new game. It's it's a

1922
01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:12,240
Speaker 9: new day, a new game for that players, NFL football,

1923
01:33:12,479 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 9: And so like I said, we don't be balling out.

1924
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:19,920
Speaker 9: I trust them and and people who's gonna have to

1925
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:22,400
Speaker 9: wait to see. I know it's new when people get

1926
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:23,679
Speaker 9: to go in you know whatever.

1927
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 4: But oh, sorry about that, I hit the button. Sorry,

1928
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 4: but I get it. I mean Ray Ray believe that

1929
01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:33,760
Speaker 4: he's gonna get these guys playing hard for him. He

1930
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 4: has typically and that's the kind of player he wants,

1931
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:41,480
Speaker 4: is guys who just give it all out on the field,

1932
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:45,559
Speaker 4: uh and are accountable. But it is a good point.

1933
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:49,519
Speaker 4: The game is evolving, it is changing, and Rabel brought

1934
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:53,240
Speaker 4: it up. The ni L guys come, they've been through

1935
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:57,000
Speaker 4: maybe many you know, systems, many coaches before they even

1936
01:33:57,040 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 4: get to the NFL, and you know, they're taking a

1937
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 4: little bit from all of that and you've got to

1938
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:06,679
Speaker 4: understand who these guys are, get to know them, and

1939
01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:09,880
Speaker 4: it's it's a challenge, but I think he realizes that

1940
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:13,000
Speaker 4: that the game is evolving in terms of the types

1941
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:16,519
Speaker 4: of players that you're getting from college. You know, they

1942
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:20,000
Speaker 4: come a lot with you know, very hefty bank accounts.

1943
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 3: So different, different packaging than last year.

1944
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:23,960
Speaker 6: But both coaches I think have stressed the need for

1945
01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 6: now that you have to connect with these players.

1946
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:27,479
Speaker 3: You have to know them on a personal level.

1947
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:29,160
Speaker 6: Like he said that they're going to come into the

1948
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:31,360
Speaker 6: facility with something on their mind that you know, you

1949
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:33,760
Speaker 6: need to be able to understand that that there are.

1950
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:34,839
Speaker 3: Other things besides football.

1951
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:36,840
Speaker 6: And you know, that's the message that I think, you know,

1952
01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 6: we do through levels and grenades at Bill and then

1953
01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:40,960
Speaker 6: I think that's one of the things that you know,

1954
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 6: generally players felt like that. You know, he didn't know

1955
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:45,320
Speaker 6: those guys that well, and that's something that modern coaches

1956
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:47,640
Speaker 6: need to do, make that connection with their players.

1957
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,120
Speaker 4: And he's going to try to make that connection. But

1958
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:54,599
Speaker 4: make no mistake, he's going to be demanding, like, Okay,

1959
01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 4: I'm going to get to know you and I'm hearing you,

1960
01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:02,120
Speaker 4: but in return, I need you to go out there

1961
01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 4: and give it all, you know, And as Ray said,

1962
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:09,320
Speaker 4: ball out for me. Yeah, those are the types of

1963
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:13,959
Speaker 4: players that are gonna, you know, be his favorite students.

1964
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:15,479
Speaker 6: It was kind of the point I made at the top,

1965
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:17,160
Speaker 6: and like there are certain like anybody who played in

1966
01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:20,040
Speaker 6: the league I think has an innate respect from players,

1967
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:22,800
Speaker 6: but like to've played at that level and to won

1968
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 6: multiple Super Bowls and like I said, like play both

1969
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:27,360
Speaker 6: sides of the ball, to catch ten touchdowns is as

1970
01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:28,480
Speaker 6: an outside linebacker.

1971
01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 3: And you know, as Mike.

1972
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:33,760
Speaker 6: Himself highlighted a player who didn't start for four years

1973
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:35,640
Speaker 6: and was kind of behind the scenes and was, you know,

1974
01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:38,200
Speaker 6: one of those middle fifty three guys, and then became

1975
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 6: a superstar and you know, and then you know, went

1976
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:42,439
Speaker 6: and was a veteran and a mentor.

1977
01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:44,360
Speaker 3: He's had a wide range.

1978
01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:46,400
Speaker 6: Of experiences, not only a player, but as a coach too,

1979
01:35:46,439 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 6: And I think that's just you know, you just I

1980
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:49,720
Speaker 6: don't know, as a player, you look to him and

1981
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:51,400
Speaker 6: be like, man, what can't this guy do?

1982
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:51,680
Speaker 3: You know?

1983
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 6: He knows this game inside and out. He played both

1984
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:55,720
Speaker 6: sides of the ball. He made big plays on both

1985
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:57,439
Speaker 6: sides of the ball and the biggest moments. It's just

1986
01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:00,000
Speaker 6: I think there's just an immediate, huge amount of resps

1987
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 6: that guys that from my favorite.

1988
01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 4: So I just got word that UH head coach Mike

1989
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:07,320
Speaker 4: Grabel will be joining us. They're just getting something to

1990
01:36:07,320 --> 01:36:13,040
Speaker 4: eat right now. So when he does come, you, being

1991
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:15,519
Speaker 4: lowest in the totem pole, you can you can stay

1992
01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:17,200
Speaker 4: in the room, stand behind us or something.

1993
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:19,519
Speaker 5: Don't look at don't even look.

1994
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:20,200
Speaker 10: I want to.

1995
01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 4: Introduce him to you because I want him to know

1996
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:28,080
Speaker 4: that you're on the offense. I'm gonna I'm going to

1997
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,599
Speaker 4: introduce you as our resident and savant.

1998
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 10: And I'm gonna tell you.

1999
01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 5: That not do that because he'll remember it and he'll

2000
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 5: bust know.

2001
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:40,280
Speaker 4: But he'll remember it.

2002
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:42,720
Speaker 5: They don't want that, Yes we do.

2003
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 4: We want him to know us, Paul. We have things

2004
01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:49,200
Speaker 4: going on off and I want him to know Evan.

2005
01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:53,400
Speaker 10: To ye, I wanted to know me to just not.

2006
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 4: From but just so just so hard so because he'll

2007
01:36:57,439 --> 01:37:01,240
Speaker 4: take he'll take that seat. So camera operators, so that

2008
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:03,640
Speaker 4: you know that he'll sit where Evan is sitting. And

2009
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 4: Evan you can as long as you're not in front

2010
01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:07,680
Speaker 4: of a camera. You can stand next to Deuce er,

2011
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:08,840
Speaker 4: behind me or whatever.

2012
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:09,120
Speaker 10: In the corner.

2013
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:12,240
Speaker 5: Nobody puts baby in a corner.

2014
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 4: All right, Let's get to the phones while we wait

2015
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:18,519
Speaker 4: for a head coach, Mike Rabel, Damon's and Marylyn. What's

2016
01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:19,040
Speaker 4: up Damon?

2017
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 11: How the go?

2018
01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:23,720
Speaker 4: Hey?

2019
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 8: So quick question?

2020
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:28,240
Speaker 27: So I know the past had their eye on Vaybel

2021
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 27: for a while as the guy they brought it in left,

2022
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 27: which for the Rooney rule, but I wanted to ask.

2023
01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:36,760
Speaker 28: I guess potential complications for that for the Patriots in

2024
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:37,200
Speaker 28: the league.

2025
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:38,080
Speaker 27: If you have a.

2026
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:41,080
Speaker 28: Set guide that you're interested in, but you have to

2027
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:44,679
Speaker 28: satisfy the rule, but the minority invice that they don't

2028
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 28: seem like just a formality or sham, either at the

2029
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 28: eighth head coach level or at the coordinator level. How

2030
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:54,320
Speaker 28: does that kind of impact, you know, the league going forward?

2031
01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:56,000
Speaker 28: If there's a set guy you have in mind, like

2032
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 28: a Ben Johnson going forward for a lot of teams,

2033
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:01,400
Speaker 28: but you have to give legitimate use to minority candidates.

2034
01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:04,080
Speaker 4: I mean, you saw it. You saw what happened this time.

2035
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:07,759
Speaker 4: They knew they wanted for able, but they had to

2036
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 4: satisfy the rule. Did they satisfy the spirit of the rule?

2037
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:14,280
Speaker 4: Probably not, but they weren't the first team to have

2038
01:38:14,360 --> 01:38:18,880
Speaker 4: done that, to do those interviews just to satisfy the rule.

2039
01:38:19,160 --> 01:38:21,680
Speaker 4: You know, it's hard. It's happened since the beginning of

2040
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:24,879
Speaker 4: the Rooney rule. The Rooney rule probably needs to be tweaked,

2041
01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:29,599
Speaker 4: if not gotten rid of, but at least tweaked because

2042
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 4: it's not fair to both sides.

2043
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:34,879
Speaker 5: It's well intentioned, but it's hard to execute in practice.

2044
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:37,799
Speaker 5: I think, because I think it's only natural that teams

2045
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:42,959
Speaker 5: have an idea of dear leading candidates. You know, anytime

2046
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:44,640
Speaker 5: that you have a job opening, how often do you

2047
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:47,919
Speaker 5: go into it and say, boy, I have absolutely no idea.

2048
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:51,200
Speaker 5: It's not like real life. It's not applying for a

2049
01:38:51,320 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 5: job and you're one of fifty in friend's looking at

2050
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:56,760
Speaker 5: the resumes and somehow picks Mike, Like, I don't know,

2051
01:38:56,960 --> 01:39:00,880
Speaker 5: how does that happen? You know, no, nothing, no, nothing,

2052
01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:03,960
Speaker 5: because of the you're not playing today, We're not playing.

2053
01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 14: No.

2054
01:39:04,479 --> 01:39:07,000
Speaker 5: But it's not like real life where you're just blindly

2055
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,680
Speaker 5: interviewing fifty guys and then one guy stands out this

2056
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:12,920
Speaker 5: is you have an idea of who you want. I

2057
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:15,240
Speaker 5: understand why it exists. I think you're right, Fred, I

2058
01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 5: think it probably needs to be tweaked in some way

2059
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:18,639
Speaker 5: or maybe even limit.

2060
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 4: Maybe there's a better way to just expose owners to

2061
01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:26,000
Speaker 4: all potential coaches, regardless of skin color. But I'm sure

2062
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:30,240
Speaker 4: there's a lot of coaches that are younger or you know,

2063
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 4: just aren't on teams that get all the notoriety, that

2064
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 4: are probably like hidden gems that owners don't know about,

2065
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 4: forget about you know, who they are, what they look like.

2066
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:43,720
Speaker 4: Maybe there's a way to better expose these guys in

2067
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:46,320
Speaker 4: the off season to teams. I don't know, I don't know.

2068
01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:51,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, they do have some like good conferences things like that.

2069
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:53,720
Speaker 10: But I think the hard part is with this situation

2070
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:56,720
Speaker 10: is he's he was a hot commodity, and so you

2071
01:39:56,760 --> 01:39:59,559
Speaker 10: had multiple teams that were interested in viewing interviewing Mike

2072
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:02,439
Speaker 10: rabel Uh. We found out today during the press conference

2073
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 10: that Mike McCarthy is not going to go back to

2074
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:07,240
Speaker 10: the Cowboys. What happens if you know a team loses

2075
01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 10: early in the playoffs that's expecting a deep run eny

2076
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:12,559
Speaker 10: blow out their head coach, a playoff team does so

2077
01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 10: if you're the Patriots, if you don't move quickly on

2078
01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:17,479
Speaker 10: this situation, you're the bell of the ball right now,

2079
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:19,599
Speaker 10: right you have may you have one hundred and thirty

2080
01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 10: million dollars in cap space, and overnight you can just

2081
01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:26,479
Speaker 10: become another job. And so they moved quickly on their guy,

2082
01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:29,400
Speaker 10: and he's such a qualified candidate that I just have

2083
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:32,719
Speaker 10: a real tough time being super angry about it because

2084
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:35,160
Speaker 10: it's it's not like you gave the job to somebody

2085
01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:36,479
Speaker 10: that wasn't quite nice.

2086
01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 4: I know that people said as for like two weeks

2087
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:42,559
Speaker 4: that this has been a done deal. But you know,

2088
01:40:42,760 --> 01:40:45,800
Speaker 4: a new team on the block, like the Cowboys or

2089
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:48,559
Speaker 4: you know the Raiders, you know, when they just fired

2090
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:51,880
Speaker 4: their head coach last week, what if they came in

2091
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,160
Speaker 4: at the last minute and just gave him the world

2092
01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:56,559
Speaker 4: and made him a deal that he just couldn't refuse

2093
01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:59,600
Speaker 4: for himself and his family. I gotta admit I was

2094
01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 4: starting to get a little worried about that over the weekend,

2095
01:41:02,360 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 4: you know, and that was they were up against that.

2096
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 4: So you can't fault a team for knowing what they

2097
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:11,360
Speaker 4: want to do and then going and doing it. And

2098
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:16,519
Speaker 4: you know, in this case, it was Mike Vrabel. He's

2099
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 4: a good coach, he's familiar with the team, he's familiar

2100
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 4: with the area. It just made too much sense.

2101
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:24,799
Speaker 6: I kind of wonder about John Harball when that process

2102
01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:26,599
Speaker 6: happened with the Ravens as because he was a special

2103
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:27,840
Speaker 6: teams coordinator.

2104
01:41:27,439 --> 01:41:29,479
Speaker 3: Right, like, like, how did that happen? You know, that's

2105
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:31,680
Speaker 3: kind of a unique leap, and that doesn't happen he.

2106
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:33,880
Speaker 5: Spent one year. I think that was kind of like

2107
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 5: to get to the head coach level, as like in

2108
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:38,799
Speaker 5: a position coach, I think I want to say wide receivers,

2109
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:41,479
Speaker 5: but don't hold me to that. And I think Bill

2110
01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:44,080
Speaker 5: Belichick was instrumental in getting him at that job because

2111
01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:46,679
Speaker 5: of his connection with I think ozzieknews him at the time. Yeah,

2112
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:49,680
Speaker 5: with the Ravens, and that was a big his recommendation

2113
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:51,160
Speaker 5: was a big part of that.

2114
01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:53,640
Speaker 4: Thanks for the call, Damon. We'll go down to Arkansas.

2115
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:58,200
Speaker 4: What's up, Jay, Jay?

2116
01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:01,639
Speaker 26: Hey gurning guys.

2117
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:07,320
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, we can what's going on over there? You

2118
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:09,479
Speaker 4: are you changing a tire? What are you doing?

2119
01:42:11,320 --> 01:42:12,639
Speaker 29: Let me let me change mind?

2120
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:19,559
Speaker 4: All right, that's much better. I didn't do that. I

2121
01:42:19,640 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 4: didn't do that. While is getting to get his act together.

2122
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:28,600
Speaker 4: We'll go to Delaware, Rodney. What's up, Rodney?

2123
01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:32,720
Speaker 15: Hey, guys, how are you doing good?

2124
01:42:33,720 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 29: Yeah?

2125
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:36,040
Speaker 9: So I was just calling because I was, like, you know,

2126
01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:38,479
Speaker 9: I wasn't. I was against the Mike Braver hired at first.

2127
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:41,920
Speaker 9: But now just listening to his speech, I'm just happy that,

2128
01:42:42,080 --> 01:42:44,479
Speaker 9: you know, I think he's I think we're going to

2129
01:42:44,520 --> 01:42:47,240
Speaker 9: get us back to like the physical football.

2130
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:47,960
Speaker 26: That's what I just.

2131
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:50,200
Speaker 9: Want back to, you know, physical Patriot football.

2132
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 27: Thanks gosh.

2133
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:55,120
Speaker 4: Okay, Rodney thinks physicality is coming back to New England.

2134
01:42:55,360 --> 01:42:57,360
Speaker 3: Smash mouths definitely listen. I didn't.

2135
01:42:57,439 --> 01:43:00,400
Speaker 4: I don't think the Patriots have even last year. Weren't physical.

2136
01:43:00,439 --> 01:43:02,519
Speaker 4: I think they I don't think they lack the effort

2137
01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:05,720
Speaker 4: wasn't it was there. Yeah, this is a talent thing,

2138
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,480
Speaker 4: so let's be physical, but us also be talented.

2139
01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:11,799
Speaker 10: You know, that's fair. But I think effort and finish

2140
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:13,439
Speaker 10: for like the two things that he said are going

2141
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:15,400
Speaker 10: to be no negotiables among other things.

2142
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:15,720
Speaker 8: Yep.

2143
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:19,519
Speaker 10: And defensively, Like that's a lot of defense is effort

2144
01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:21,880
Speaker 10: and finish. You know, you can if you can get

2145
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:25,000
Speaker 10: to a baseline of that defensively, then you can be

2146
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:28,559
Speaker 10: like an above average defense simply just off of effort

2147
01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 10: and finish and being prepared.

2148
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 5: And I to that wrinkles, you know, like like Bill

2149
01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:38,080
Speaker 5: always did. Whereas the defense will look better than it

2150
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:41,960
Speaker 5: probably is because they'll be able to limit the damage.

2151
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:44,599
Speaker 5: You know. One of the things that I bitched about

2152
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 5: all year was it seems whenever they got off to

2153
01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:49,880
Speaker 5: a bad start defensively, they were going to have a

2154
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,200
Speaker 5: bad game defensively because they weren't gonna be able to adjust.

2155
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:54,240
Speaker 5: I think Rabel will be able to adjust.

2156
01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:59,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, So we're uh in the process of waiting

2157
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:02,800
Speaker 4: for head coach Mike Rabel. From what I understand, they

2158
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:04,160
Speaker 4: went to get a bite of you.

2159
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:07,080
Speaker 5: Do you think bring food for the show? I think

2160
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 5: he should, right, maybe a little chicken parm like.

2161
01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:13,320
Speaker 4: You know, it's not that because I think he needs

2162
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:15,880
Speaker 4: to ingratiate himself with us, don't you think, Well.

2163
01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:18,800
Speaker 5: If he wants to succeed, he had no where to stop,

2164
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:23,920
Speaker 5: needs crew on your side, walking with pizza pizza time.

2165
01:44:24,439 --> 01:44:25,920
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, Paul, tell him about this.

2166
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:29,480
Speaker 5: I don't know if you've heard of this play.

2167
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:30,120
Speaker 3: I've heard him.

2168
01:44:30,160 --> 01:44:30,400
Speaker 8: Yeah.

2169
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:35,440
Speaker 4: Uh, Jay's back on the line in Arkansas. What's up? Jay?

2170
01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:40,439
Speaker 29: Hey, guys start about the audio there. Hey the caller

2171
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 29: one or two before. Uh, you guys got just talking

2172
01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:47,200
Speaker 29: about the process. And that's that's just what I had

2173
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 29: a couple of comments on. I was just gonna throw in,

2174
01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:54,519
Speaker 29: you know, and I'd love to hear you guys just

2175
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:58,200
Speaker 29: talk about the broader, you know, impact of the local

2176
01:44:58,240 --> 01:45:00,639
Speaker 29: media there at some point in the office. Maybe it's

2177
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:03,439
Speaker 29: for a good slow day, who knows, But you know,

2178
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 29: I just really didn't appreciate from the get go. I

2179
01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 29: think it was Albert Breer I heard first call this

2180
01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:11,280
Speaker 29: a sham process. Uh, And then of course it sort

2181
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:13,960
Speaker 29: of catches some steam and other people use that word.

2182
01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:17,799
Speaker 29: I'm with you, guys, just like, what do you expect

2183
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:23,400
Speaker 29: them to do? How many interview processes you know, in

2184
01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:25,920
Speaker 29: in the rest of the UH, in the rest of

2185
01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:28,920
Speaker 29: the world. Do you not already have a little bit

2186
01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:31,160
Speaker 29: of an idea who you want to go after? And

2187
01:45:31,240 --> 01:45:35,280
Speaker 29: so they followed the rule as it's laid out to

2188
01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:40,240
Speaker 29: be followed. And you know, if they had waited around

2189
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:44,479
Speaker 29: and not gotten vrabel, they would have been crucified by

2190
01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 29: the same people who were, you know, criticizing them for

2191
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:49,280
Speaker 29: the for the process they went through. I don't know

2192
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:51,640
Speaker 29: what else they're supposed to do. I'd like to hear

2193
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:54,759
Speaker 29: from you guys. Another thing that I often hear people

2194
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 29: talk about, but would like to know if it's actually

2195
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:02,479
Speaker 29: if it actually happens, This idea of having all these

2196
01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:07,080
Speaker 29: interviews to gather intel and to gather you know, ideas

2197
01:46:07,160 --> 01:46:08,880
Speaker 29: and things like that. I mean, do we really know

2198
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:11,040
Speaker 29: that other teams have done and.

2199
01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:11,720
Speaker 8: To do that?

2200
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:16,720
Speaker 29: You know, would would Robert and Jonathan Craft and you

2201
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:21,080
Speaker 29: know a couple of others be adept enough to say,

2202
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:23,960
Speaker 29: you know, hey, Mike, we heard from this candidate over

2203
01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:27,320
Speaker 29: here about how they run the UH. You know, they're

2204
01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:30,840
Speaker 29: you know, shotgun formations. You know, we'd like to you

2205
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 29: to incorporate that into your your offense. You know what

2206
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:36,559
Speaker 29: you know, is that really a thing or is that

2207
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:39,280
Speaker 29: just a thing that's a nice talking point for everybody.

2208
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:42,720
Speaker 5: Anyway, I think it's really a thing. Have you ever

2209
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:46,200
Speaker 5: talked to anybody and have them, okay, have them tell

2210
01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 5: you something that you didn't know?

2211
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:50,240
Speaker 4: I have, Yeah, a lot. Absolutely.

2212
01:46:50,840 --> 01:46:53,719
Speaker 5: You know. I'd like to think I'm learning all the time,

2213
01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 5: and I think that those are opportunities to learn stuff.

2214
01:46:57,840 --> 01:46:59,920
Speaker 5: I think Jay was sort of taking it super literally,

2215
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:02,920
Speaker 5: like you talk to someone and then you tell Mike

2216
01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 5: this is what you need. No, I think it can

2217
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:08,479
Speaker 5: be as simple as let's go to Byron Leftwich. Okay,

2218
01:47:09,320 --> 01:47:11,840
Speaker 5: maybe you have you sit him down and this guy

2219
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:14,160
Speaker 5: really impresses you and you're like, wow, this guy is

2220
01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:18,160
Speaker 5: a very bright offensive mind. He's creative. Hey, if we

2221
01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:20,600
Speaker 5: need an offensive coordinator this, we could do worse than this,

2222
01:47:21,240 --> 01:47:23,760
Speaker 5: or down the road if it doesn't work out with

2223
01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:27,080
Speaker 5: Mike Rabel, I think we could do a lot worse

2224
01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:31,280
Speaker 5: than Byron Leftwich getting a head coaching opportunity. Again, I'm

2225
01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:35,479
Speaker 5: just using That's how it works. You generate like sort

2226
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:40,639
Speaker 5: of a rolodex of information. It's not tangible like Evan's

2227
01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:44,800
Speaker 5: coming up with, you know, creative sale routes that that

2228
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:48,640
Speaker 5: are gonna get you know, what's perfect against Tennessee's defense. Like,

2229
01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 5: that's not how That's not what we're talking about. We're

2230
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 5: talking about relationships in philosophy, philosophy and figuring out how

2231
01:47:56,360 --> 01:48:00,400
Speaker 5: other organizations do their business. And they say, wow, we

2232
01:48:00,439 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 5: don't do it that way. How do you do analytics?

2233
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:05,320
Speaker 5: How do you incorporate your analytics into your real life

2234
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:09,439
Speaker 5: football operation? Oh, we do it this way. Well, you

2235
01:48:09,439 --> 01:48:11,200
Speaker 5: guys do it that. Wow, I never thought of that.

2236
01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:13,400
Speaker 5: That might be an interesting Maybe we can change some

2237
01:48:13,439 --> 01:48:14,120
Speaker 5: of the things.

2238
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:14,320
Speaker 10: That we do.

2239
01:48:14,560 --> 01:48:17,040
Speaker 5: It's not really specific because I think that would be

2240
01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:22,200
Speaker 5: kind of proprietary information. It's relationships and philosophies, and I

2241
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:25,240
Speaker 5: think by not talking to as many people as you can,

2242
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:27,320
Speaker 5: you close off opportunities.

2243
01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 10: That's all is at the end of the world.

2244
01:48:29,080 --> 01:48:33,160
Speaker 5: Now, absolutely not. They had a guy they identified to

2245
01:48:33,240 --> 01:48:34,960
Speaker 5: your point, Fred, maybe they feared that they were going

2246
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:37,360
Speaker 5: to lose him if they dragged their feet at all.

2247
01:48:37,479 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 5: I don't think that was an option, especially based on

2248
01:48:40,640 --> 01:48:43,840
Speaker 5: Ian Rappaport over the weekend, saying he told Tom Brady, Yeah,

2249
01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:46,120
Speaker 5: I don't worry about it. Yeah, I'm not going anywhere.

2250
01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:48,680
Speaker 5: I'm going to the Patriots. Yeah, but the Patriots might

2251
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:51,639
Speaker 5: not want to take that chance knowing it, so they went.

2252
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:53,519
Speaker 5: They identified the guy they wanted, they got them. I

2253
01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:56,800
Speaker 5: have no issues with that, but I do understand the

2254
01:48:56,880 --> 01:49:01,800
Speaker 5: counter of not holding interviews deprives you of opportunities.

2255
01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:02,360
Speaker 10: That's all.

2256
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:05,680
Speaker 5: I don't know what, how much, how important, but opportunities.

2257
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:08,720
Speaker 5: It's true like the Chargers did last year famously with

2258
01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:13,240
Speaker 5: Jim Harbaugh. They identified him right off the top, he

2259
01:49:13,439 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 5: was their guy, and they still interviewed twelve guys. Now

2260
01:49:17,439 --> 01:49:19,800
Speaker 5: you might say, well, they didn't know for sure if

2261
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:22,840
Speaker 5: they were going to get Jim Harbaugh, so they had

2262
01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:25,920
Speaker 5: to keep interviewing people. That might be true, because I

2263
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:27,840
Speaker 5: think Hardball was kind of playing hardball with them a

2264
01:49:27,880 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 5: little bit last year.

2265
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:30,760
Speaker 3: I just think keep doing it now.

2266
01:49:30,840 --> 01:49:33,639
Speaker 6: This is the time too, with offensive coaches defensive coaches,

2267
01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:36,960
Speaker 6: you know, find who those young hotshots are behind the scenes.

2268
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:38,720
Speaker 6: This is I mean, you know, maybe they're not going

2269
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 6: to come in and tell you how to change your program,

2270
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:42,280
Speaker 6: but there might be some young guys who you know

2271
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:45,320
Speaker 6: from experience being around the league of this guy's a young,

2272
01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:47,800
Speaker 6: smart guy, like he's headed places.

2273
01:49:47,439 --> 01:49:48,840
Speaker 3: And you know he might be in between a job.

2274
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:50,000
Speaker 3: Go get him. Those kind of guys.

2275
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:52,040
Speaker 5: Well, even if you're asking like how many how many

2276
01:49:52,080 --> 01:49:54,719
Speaker 5: guys did Mike Rabel mention today that he learned from?

2277
01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 5: So maybe you're talking to someone and they're telling you

2278
01:49:57,520 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 5: all these guys they learned from what I one of

2279
01:50:01,160 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 5: those guys sort of spark something in your mind, you know,

2280
01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:08,040
Speaker 5: five minutes okay, and you can get you know, so

2281
01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:10,920
Speaker 5: you get to talk to a guy and he knows

2282
01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:14,360
Speaker 5: this other guy who learned a lot from Maybe I

2283
01:50:14,439 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 5: might talk to that guy. You know, like there's a

2284
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:19,520
Speaker 5: million different ways you can get an avenue to information.

2285
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:25,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agreed, And that's that's another by product, a

2286
01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:27,519
Speaker 4: good bye product of the ruty rule is just that

2287
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:31,760
Speaker 4: exposure to new ideas, exposure to new people. And I think,

2288
01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 4: you know, Evan said it, I think this process of

2289
01:50:34,200 --> 01:50:36,160
Speaker 4: the O C and d C is going to take

2290
01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:39,840
Speaker 4: longer than the head coach. I think they might slow

2291
01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:42,599
Speaker 4: this one down a little bit to to get more.

2292
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:43,400
Speaker 10: People right to the fire.

2293
01:50:43,439 --> 01:50:45,639
Speaker 5: Right now, I want to know it.

2294
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 4: But you know, let's not I don't want to ask

2295
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:50,000
Speaker 4: the same questions that we're asked up there. I want to,

2296
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:52,280
Speaker 4: you know, ask other things.

2297
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:54,360
Speaker 5: I'm sure that you'll ask.

2298
01:50:54,439 --> 01:50:56,160
Speaker 4: You can ask the first question.

2299
01:50:56,520 --> 01:50:59,720
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, you're you're the boss man. The reason

2300
01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:02,360
Speaker 5: why it's his boss man on your on your tiron

2301
01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:03,559
Speaker 5: up there? All right, bossman.

2302
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:09,400
Speaker 4: Well, we'll keep going if I if if Rabel walks in,

2303
01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 4: you know, and I have to cut you off, don't

2304
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:17,400
Speaker 4: take it personally. Uh. Donovan from Delaware has already hung up. Uh,

2305
01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:21,439
Speaker 4: So we'll go to New York where Andre is calling from.

2306
01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:22,400
Speaker 4: What's up Andre?

2307
01:51:23,320 --> 01:51:24,800
Speaker 27: Hey, Hill, let's tell you're doing good.

2308
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:28,280
Speaker 30: I had a quick question I wanted to ask. I

2309
01:51:28,360 --> 01:51:30,760
Speaker 30: know we're still early in the off season, but I

2310
01:51:30,880 --> 01:51:34,599
Speaker 30: had a question about the draft. I know that obviously

2311
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:37,479
Speaker 30: it matters what we get in the free agency, but

2312
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 30: I wanted to know what you guys think we should

2313
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 30: get out of a Duke Carter McMillan or an offensive lineman.

2314
01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:47,760
Speaker 4: Well, there's another guy that I've been intrigued with a

2315
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:48,160
Speaker 4: little bit.

2316
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:53,400
Speaker 3: How did you know how did you know defensive linement?

2317
01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:55,720
Speaker 5: Well strikes me as a Fred kirsch Kind of guy.

2318
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:59,639
Speaker 4: Well, no, but Mason Graham is an interior linement from.

2319
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 5: Michigan defensive lineman.

2320
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:04,519
Speaker 4: Defensive lineman, right, and uh, from what I understand, he's

2321
01:52:04,680 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 4: he's got this suddenness to his game.

2322
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:07,360
Speaker 5: He's player.

2323
01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:11,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, like he can impact you know, the rush from inside.

2324
01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:14,439
Speaker 4: He's that quick. And I'm worried about Barmore.

2325
01:52:14,640 --> 01:52:17,559
Speaker 5: Michigan won a handful of games with absolutely no offense

2326
01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:19,360
Speaker 5: to speak of, and the reason they did that is

2327
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:20,639
Speaker 5: guys like Mason g Yeah.

2328
01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 4: So, and I'm worried about Barmore if he doesn't come back.

2329
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:26,400
Speaker 4: And if he does come back, imagine teaming him up

2330
01:52:26,439 --> 01:52:27,240
Speaker 4: with Mason Graham.

2331
01:52:29,080 --> 01:52:33,680
Speaker 5: I just think it's and I know I've said this

2332
01:52:33,760 --> 01:52:36,040
Speaker 5: a million times. They can literally pick anything they need

2333
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:38,160
Speaker 5: to pick the best player, and I wouldn't. And if

2334
01:52:38,160 --> 01:52:39,960
Speaker 5: they think that Mason Graham is that much better than

2335
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:42,719
Speaker 5: anybody else by all means, I just think that would

2336
01:52:42,720 --> 01:52:47,400
Speaker 5: be less less of indeed than oh, yeah, wide receiver

2337
01:52:47,840 --> 01:52:51,760
Speaker 5: tackle A need they need defensive tackles. I would not

2338
01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:53,680
Speaker 5: sit here and say what do they do when they

2339
01:52:53,760 --> 01:52:56,360
Speaker 5: picked a guard? No, they need they need a good

2340
01:52:56,439 --> 01:52:59,839
Speaker 5: defensive tackle. And he's a good player, ye By all accounts,

2341
01:52:59,840 --> 01:53:02,360
Speaker 5: he's top five pick, top five talent anyway.

2342
01:53:03,320 --> 01:53:05,639
Speaker 4: But Abdual card is intriguing as well, you know, because

2343
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:08,640
Speaker 4: he's got that special motor on the edge, and.

2344
01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:11,439
Speaker 3: I like me so I thought he was really impressive

2345
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:13,800
Speaker 3: in that he's not getting the four. That's what I'm

2346
01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:14,280
Speaker 3: worried about.

2347
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 4: How okay, thanks Andre, Yeah.

2348
01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:20,479
Speaker 6: I just I said to Paul, you know, generally speaking,

2349
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:22,559
Speaker 6: there's five main positions that you feel like you need

2350
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:27,000
Speaker 6: right like quarterback, left tackle, wide receiver, elite corner, elite

2351
01:53:27,080 --> 01:53:31,400
Speaker 6: edge rusher, big five. Everybody wants that elite tackle right now. Well,

2352
01:53:31,439 --> 01:53:33,040
Speaker 6: if it's not there, then you might be able to

2353
01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:35,120
Speaker 6: get the defensive end with Abdual Carter. That might be

2354
01:53:35,200 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 6: the guy at the top that you just look, You're

2355
01:53:37,439 --> 01:53:38,800
Speaker 6: gonna have to figure it out. Maybe by the time

2356
01:53:38,840 --> 01:53:41,040
Speaker 6: you get there, you have some options on offensive line.

2357
01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:43,280
Speaker 6: I think we spent so much time focusing on tackle

2358
01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:45,040
Speaker 6: and wide receiver, which granted those are two of the

2359
01:53:45,120 --> 01:53:47,639
Speaker 6: other open spots, but do either one of those one

2360
01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:48,439
Speaker 6: makes sense at four.

2361
01:53:48,600 --> 01:53:50,640
Speaker 5: I kind of think I'd agree with Mike. I think

2362
01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 5: there's a gap between you a guy Mason Graham and

2363
01:53:53,280 --> 01:54:00,640
Speaker 5: Abdull Carter and McMillan, you know, in Banks or Campbell. Well,

2364
01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:04,639
Speaker 5: I think the defensive end and tackle of better players

2365
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:06,800
Speaker 5: than the wide receiver offensive.

2366
01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:08,000
Speaker 6: And just what Rabel said, I mean, that was part

2367
01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:09,479
Speaker 6: of we talked about the passing game. He talked about

2368
01:54:09,479 --> 01:54:12,000
Speaker 6: being able to affect the passer, you know, so that's

2369
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:12,600
Speaker 6: a big part of it.

2370
01:54:12,680 --> 01:54:13,320
Speaker 3: That's a big part of it.

2371
01:54:13,400 --> 01:54:15,599
Speaker 6: So you have a chance to get somebody like Abdul Carter,

2372
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:18,320
Speaker 6: who is going to be entrant in like instant rocket

2373
01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:19,200
Speaker 6: fuel for your pass.

2374
01:54:19,200 --> 01:54:21,360
Speaker 3: Rush, then you know, I think you got to get him.

2375
01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 3: But I don't know if he's making.

2376
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:30,559
Speaker 4: Moose for Brian's and Holbrook. Hey Brian, Hi, how.

2377
01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:31,080
Speaker 29: Are you guys doing?

2378
01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:34,880
Speaker 11: Sorry, I just was curious how m no.

2379
01:54:35,080 --> 01:54:39,240
Speaker 30: Reporter uh, when Rabel was doing the introduction press conference

2380
01:54:39,360 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 30: asked him if he will have final call or who

2381
01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:43,120
Speaker 30: will have final call?

2382
01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:46,840
Speaker 4: That was like the first question that Tom Curran asked it.

2383
01:54:47,520 --> 01:54:51,720
Speaker 5: Yeah he did, Yeah, he was kind of he was

2384
01:54:51,840 --> 01:54:55,880
Speaker 5: kind of noncommittal about the answer, which kind of worries

2385
01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:56,400
Speaker 5: me a little bit.

2386
01:54:56,480 --> 01:54:59,000
Speaker 4: Not gonna lie, well, I don't think he wants to

2387
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:01,800
Speaker 4: get up there with people in the room and start

2388
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:05,760
Speaker 4: throwing things around he made me feel better. Yeah, I

2389
01:55:06,080 --> 01:55:09,200
Speaker 4: think he's being a little bit diplomatic there, and but

2390
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:13,040
Speaker 4: I I would I would venture to guess that that's

2391
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:13,960
Speaker 4: going to be talked about.

2392
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:19,280
Speaker 5: And I think that, you know, if it hasn't been determined, if.

2393
01:55:18,600 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 4: The reports are true that he's bringing in this guy

2394
01:55:20,840 --> 01:55:25,600
Speaker 4: that he likes, ye, that'll be him running personnel by proxy,

2395
01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:29,320
Speaker 4: Ryan Cowden that guy, because you know, I'm sure Wolf

2396
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:31,920
Speaker 4: and this guy will be told to work together, but

2397
01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:34,920
Speaker 4: when there's a disagreement, it'll go to Vrabel and he'll

2398
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:37,200
Speaker 4: be the arbiter and he'll side with his guy.

2399
01:55:37,520 --> 01:55:40,320
Speaker 6: Interesting, it's interesting, like for a coach, like what do

2400
01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:42,960
Speaker 6: you prefer as a personnel guy do you want? You know,

2401
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:44,680
Speaker 6: Like it's just about seeing the game the same way

2402
01:55:44,720 --> 01:55:46,960
Speaker 6: and knowing what you want to run and if they

2403
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:48,520
Speaker 6: can give you you know, it's just it's an interesting

2404
01:55:48,600 --> 01:55:51,320
Speaker 6: kind of relationship to establish with somebody, like you know,

2405
01:55:51,360 --> 01:55:53,240
Speaker 6: you find someone who really sees the game the same

2406
01:55:53,280 --> 01:55:55,320
Speaker 6: way as you, or you know, is it that much

2407
01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:56,800
Speaker 6: of it is that at that heart of a switch,

2408
01:55:56,840 --> 01:55:58,320
Speaker 6: if you go to a place and there's someone who's

2409
01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:00,760
Speaker 6: managing personnel already and has a system in.

2410
01:56:00,800 --> 01:56:02,920
Speaker 3: Place, and you say, look, he gets it. He does

2411
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:04,120
Speaker 3: good players. I know good players.

2412
01:56:04,400 --> 01:56:06,400
Speaker 5: I just want the coach to have final say over

2413
01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 5: the fifty three man roster. That's all like if you

2414
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:11,760
Speaker 5: if you have to have another guy that has the

2415
01:56:11,920 --> 01:56:15,240
Speaker 5: actual final say in the draft or whether you know,

2416
01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:19,879
Speaker 5: signing someone or whatever, and that can be a collaborative process.

2417
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:22,720
Speaker 5: To use that word that everybody sort of recoils at

2418
01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:26,760
Speaker 5: now from last year. But you gotta let the coach

2419
01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:27,800
Speaker 5: pick the players.

2420
01:56:28,720 --> 01:56:34,120
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, all right, I'm told he's about two

2421
01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:34,760
Speaker 4: minutes away.

2422
01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:37,840
Speaker 5: Evan's given as a two. And I don't think you're

2423
01:56:37,840 --> 01:56:38,879
Speaker 5: saying do something.

2424
01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:39,600
Speaker 8: He should be.

2425
01:56:40,720 --> 01:56:42,520
Speaker 4: I wonder what they had for lunch? What do you?

2426
01:56:42,640 --> 01:56:43,120
Speaker 4: What do you get?

2427
01:56:43,320 --> 01:56:43,880
Speaker 5: The first question?

2428
01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:46,280
Speaker 4: Shoot, sure, okay, what do you what do you give

2429
01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:48,280
Speaker 4: a guy who you just signed as your head coach?

2430
01:56:49,320 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 4: You don't have a lot of time. What do you

2431
01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:51,640
Speaker 4: what do you serve for lunch?

2432
01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:54,280
Speaker 6: Lobster bisk Like it's just like a nice little fill a,

2433
01:56:54,480 --> 01:56:56,480
Speaker 6: like like a couple of filats out, you know, like, yeah.

2434
01:56:56,400 --> 01:56:57,920
Speaker 5: I honestly have no idea.

2435
01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:03,080
Speaker 4: We're gonna find out. I'm gonna find out ere it comes. Okay,

2436
01:57:03,440 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 4: bring them in we're not going to take a break.

Speaker 4: We'll just bring them right in.

2439
01:57:08,200 --> 01:57:10,760
Speaker 3: People experience the awkwardness in real time.

2440
01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:15,400
Speaker 4: Just bring them right in. Don't be nervous.

2441

01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:31,040
Speaker 4: Cameras everywhere?

2446
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:36,360
Speaker 5: Okay, I've been billing you as the professional ballbuster, and

2447
01:57:36,640 --> 01:57:38,400
Speaker 5: of course you come in shooting. I love it.

2448
01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:39,160
Speaker 4: It's great.

2449
01:57:39,480 --> 01:57:39,880
Speaker 8: I love it.

2450
01:57:40,280 --> 01:57:45,080
Speaker 4: I tell a story when uh, it's like Golden Girls,

2451
01:57:45,120 --> 01:57:49,400
Speaker 4: don't do you remember after the Carolina we did that

2452
01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:52,800
Speaker 4: Three Games to Glory too, and you sat down with

2453
01:57:52,920 --> 01:57:55,160
Speaker 4: I think it was Givings and Branch and you did

2454
01:57:55,200 --> 01:57:58,760
Speaker 4: the director's cut. Then afterwards, I wanted you to look

2455
01:57:58,760 --> 01:58:00,400
Speaker 4: at something you started. What did you do this? Why

2456
01:58:00,440 --> 01:58:01,720
Speaker 4: did you do that? Why did you do that? You

2457
01:58:01,800 --> 01:58:05,880
Speaker 4: started like you and I love that. I'm oh you

2458
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:08,200
Speaker 4: did it was great. We didn't take any of your advice,

2459
01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:11,280
Speaker 4: but it was fun, you know, but I like that.

2460
01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:13,560
Speaker 4: I like that about you, and I'm sure that you're

2461
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:14,960
Speaker 4: going to bring a lot to the table.

2462
01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:18,400
Speaker 5: Uh you know that way, because you would have made

2463
01:58:18,400 --> 01:58:19,520
Speaker 5: it better but they were a little bit.

2464
01:58:19,480 --> 01:58:22,040
Speaker 4: Too too far in the process. I couldn't take advantage

2465
01:58:22,040 --> 01:58:25,680
Speaker 4: of it. So my first question to you is what

2466
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:28,720
Speaker 4: what what gets served at lunch? To the new head

2467
01:58:28,800 --> 01:58:31,640
Speaker 4: coach of the New England Patriots, chicken salad, chicken salad.

2468
01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:36,040
Speaker 4: That it was quick, oh man, A little disappointed.

2469
01:58:36,480 --> 01:58:39,240
Speaker 15: How many along the interview process somebody asked me what

2470
01:58:39,480 --> 01:58:44,360
Speaker 15: I dislike about coaching football, and I said, outside of losing,

2471
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:47,920
Speaker 15: I would say the abundance of food that's available at

2472
01:58:48,040 --> 01:58:53,760
Speaker 15: any given second. It's just like anything that you want, treats, snacks, chips, food,

2473
01:58:53,840 --> 01:58:57,080
Speaker 15: and I'm like, it's got to stop at some point

2474
01:58:57,080 --> 01:58:57,320
Speaker 15: in time.

2475
01:58:57,360 --> 01:58:58,520
Speaker 8: It's just like enough to know.

2476
01:58:58,760 --> 01:59:00,440
Speaker 5: I hear, because you know that was a bad part

2477
01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:02,760
Speaker 5: of the you know, we continue to well.

2478
01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:04,800
Speaker 4: Travel to all the all the games, and the amount

2479
01:59:04,840 --> 01:59:09,440
Speaker 4: of food that gets wasted it's unbelievable. Or eating eating, No,

2480
01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:11,680
Speaker 4: it's it's always there. And I tell people when we

2481
01:59:11,760 --> 01:59:14,600
Speaker 4: first hired, say you don't have to eat everything. You

2482
01:59:14,680 --> 01:59:17,120
Speaker 4: don't have to eat everything because they just keep serving

2483
01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:17,440
Speaker 4: it to you.

2484
01:59:17,680 --> 01:59:20,040
Speaker 5: So like this is one of our newer members, Mike do.

2485
01:59:20,120 --> 01:59:22,880
Speaker 8: So, who's welcome? Do you have her?

2486
01:59:23,040 --> 01:59:24,240
Speaker 3: Do you little you want to tell you.

2487
01:59:24,240 --> 01:59:26,360
Speaker 5: All right, this is one of his first purchases for

2488
01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:27,480
Speaker 5: his newborn my son.

2489
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:31,280
Speaker 10: Now back in the day, he's fourteen sixteen, he's sixteen now,

2490
01:59:31,400 --> 01:59:32,240
Speaker 10: so I had to bring it in.

2491
01:59:33,160 --> 01:59:34,520
Speaker 5: So he's got a little bit of a man.

2492
01:59:36,760 --> 01:59:41,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would get probably both wore both. Wore one

2493
01:59:41,040 --> 01:59:44,040
Speaker 8: of those as well. A rookie on this one.

2494
01:59:44,200 --> 01:59:46,920
Speaker 5: No, he's been here since twenty nineteen, his first playoff

2495
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:48,960
Speaker 5: game with us. You know, Fred and I used to

2496
01:59:49,040 --> 01:59:51,120
Speaker 5: just winning titles. His first playoff game.

2497
01:59:51,160 --> 01:59:53,280
Speaker 3: You beat us to get rid of me if you

2498
01:59:53,280 --> 01:59:53,480
Speaker 3: want to.

2499
01:59:53,800 --> 01:59:54,360
Speaker 10: So this is all.

2500
01:59:54,440 --> 01:59:56,840
Speaker 5: And then Evan Lazare is actually.

2501
01:59:58,160 --> 01:59:58,240
Speaker 28: Right.

2502
01:59:58,640 --> 02:00:00,640
Speaker 4: He's a resident ex no savant.

2503
02:00:00,760 --> 02:00:02,080
Speaker 10: He said he was gonna embarrass me.

2504
02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:05,520
Speaker 4: No, but no, seriously, this guy, if you want to

2505
02:00:06,120 --> 02:00:09,440
Speaker 4: just ask him, he'll he'll tell you gap or zone.

2506
02:00:10,880 --> 02:00:15,360
Speaker 15: Yeah, And if you listen to the press conference, I said,

2507
02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:17,560
Speaker 15: I would hope for versatility to be able to be

2508
02:00:17,640 --> 02:00:20,560
Speaker 15: able to have zone scheme. But then you know, when

2509
02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:23,240
Speaker 15: some of those penetrating fronts to be able to have

2510
02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:25,680
Speaker 15: some gap scheme and some double teams at the line

2511
02:00:25,720 --> 02:00:27,360
Speaker 15: of scrimmage, that that it's going to help some of

2512
02:00:27,400 --> 02:00:28,040
Speaker 15: that penetration.

2513
02:00:28,920 --> 02:00:30,640
Speaker 4: When I looked at Evan and he was like, so

2514
02:00:31,200 --> 02:00:32,919
Speaker 4: what would you what would you recommend?

2515
02:00:33,600 --> 02:00:36,400
Speaker 10: What would I recommend? Yeah, that's his job, that's not mine.

2516
02:00:37,520 --> 02:00:39,440
Speaker 4: I'm giving you what's your favorite run?

2517
02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:40,600
Speaker 8: What's your favorite run?

2518
02:00:41,160 --> 02:00:41,960
Speaker 10: My favorite run?

2519
02:00:42,240 --> 02:00:42,560
Speaker 4: Power?

2520
02:00:42,960 --> 02:00:49,280
Speaker 10: Power, pull the guard down, get downhill, maybe hit play

2521
02:00:49,320 --> 02:00:50,040
Speaker 10: action behind it.

2522
02:00:50,080 --> 02:00:52,080
Speaker 3: Everyone what now?

2523
02:00:52,280 --> 02:00:52,440
Speaker 8: Now?

2524
02:00:52,840 --> 02:00:54,640
Speaker 15: The thing is with power, we got to find a

2525
02:00:54,680 --> 02:00:56,280
Speaker 15: full back or we got to find a tight end

2526
02:00:56,320 --> 02:00:58,440
Speaker 15: that can move and get in some of those movements.

2527
02:00:58,480 --> 02:00:59,960
Speaker 8: But don't disagree.

2528
02:01:00,360 --> 02:01:02,200
Speaker 4: Can you bring yak Up Johnson back because he can

2529
02:01:02,280 --> 02:01:04,120
Speaker 4: speak German and that's one of our markets.

2530
02:01:04,240 --> 02:01:06,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a lot of people down there in Tennessee

2531
02:01:06,160 --> 02:01:08,800
Speaker 8: that thought he was was pretty good too. Yeah.

2532
02:01:08,840 --> 02:01:09,680
Speaker 4: I like he's a good guy.

2533
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:12,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're gonna find well, we'll find somebody that can

2534
02:01:12,880 --> 02:01:13,040
Speaker 8: do it.

2535
02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:16,640
Speaker 4: So like it's been a whirlwind, right uh huh Yeah,

2536
02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:18,920
Speaker 4: I like, have you had a chance to even just

2537
02:01:19,040 --> 02:01:20,720
Speaker 4: think about what's going on? You still know?

2538
02:01:20,880 --> 02:01:22,480
Speaker 15: And I think the problem was I had so much

2539
02:01:22,520 --> 02:01:24,600
Speaker 15: time yesterday to think about it that it was just

2540
02:01:24,720 --> 02:01:28,320
Speaker 15: like text messages coming in and it was almost like

2541
02:01:28,400 --> 02:01:29,240
Speaker 15: I was paralyzed.

2542
02:01:29,240 --> 02:01:31,160
Speaker 8: I didn't even know where to start to.

2543
02:01:31,240 --> 02:01:33,920
Speaker 15: Try to respond to anybody that was texting and so

2544
02:01:34,760 --> 02:01:36,720
Speaker 15: you know that that's going to take I don't even

2545
02:01:36,800 --> 02:01:38,720
Speaker 15: know how long. Yeah, just people that have had an

2546
02:01:38,720 --> 02:01:43,880
Speaker 15: impact or that we're texting and congratulations and you know,

2547
02:01:44,360 --> 02:01:47,160
Speaker 15: the one thing that you know, we this is exciting,

2548
02:01:47,240 --> 02:01:49,280
Speaker 15: but we also want to make sure that you know

2549
02:01:49,360 --> 02:01:51,760
Speaker 15: we have a we have a small circle, and that

2550
02:01:52,160 --> 02:01:53,920
Speaker 15: we have a certain amount of people that we trust.

2551
02:01:53,960 --> 02:01:57,120
Speaker 15: And I try to explain that to the players, that

2552
02:01:57,360 --> 02:01:59,760
Speaker 15: that nobody texts you when you lose, right, and so

2553
02:02:00,360 --> 02:02:02,680
Speaker 15: you have a tough loss or a tough game, and

2554
02:02:02,800 --> 02:02:05,720
Speaker 15: those people that reach out to you, then I always say,

2555
02:02:05,800 --> 02:02:08,400
Speaker 15: when we start winning, you remember who those people were,

2556
02:02:08,440 --> 02:02:11,640
Speaker 15: because the text messages start to go up when you win.

2557
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:14,240
Speaker 15: And so in the request, it's a good reminder that

2558
02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:17,560
Speaker 15: the people that that are there when when you're not

2559
02:02:17,680 --> 02:02:20,600
Speaker 15: at your best should be the ones that are there

2560
02:02:20,640 --> 02:02:22,120
Speaker 15: when you're at your best. You even though where you're

2561
02:02:22,120 --> 02:02:27,360
Speaker 15: gonna live yet no Patriot Place. I stayed in a

2562
02:02:27,440 --> 02:02:29,440
Speaker 15: nice hotel when we were here for the Hall of Fame.

2563
02:02:29,600 --> 02:02:30,960
Speaker 8: So I'm sure I.

2564
02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:33,480
Speaker 5: Talk a little bit better about Patriot Place nowadays than

2565
02:02:33,520 --> 02:02:33,880
Speaker 5: you used to.

2566
02:02:34,840 --> 02:02:36,720
Speaker 6: Is that was that like did I did I talk

2567
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:40,120
Speaker 6: negatively about the Patriot away that he was critical of it.

2568
02:02:40,320 --> 02:02:45,240
Speaker 4: No, it was just like that was a different role.

2569
02:02:45,520 --> 02:02:48,320
Speaker 15: Like even Robert and I talk about that like that

2570
02:02:48,520 --> 02:02:51,400
Speaker 15: was trying to do my role as a union rep

2571
02:02:51,560 --> 02:02:54,720
Speaker 15: and on the executive committee and that was my obligation.

2572
02:02:54,880 --> 02:02:57,840
Speaker 3: And now we got a different Yeah.

2573
02:02:57,920 --> 02:03:00,960
Speaker 15: No, but we were very familiar with those and all

2574
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:03,200
Speaker 15: the rules and everything, like, you know, we're gonna do

2575
02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:04,240
Speaker 15: what's best for the play.

2576
02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:08,840
Speaker 4: You mentioned, you know, helping helping out you and being

2577
02:03:08,920 --> 02:03:11,760
Speaker 4: there when things aren't good, when things are bad. Since

2578
02:03:11,800 --> 02:03:15,200
Speaker 4: you've been gone my role I run all the content here,

2579
02:03:15,600 --> 02:03:19,320
Speaker 4: you know, And no, no, I'm just content has changed

2580
02:03:19,600 --> 02:03:21,920
Speaker 4: in sports and in the NFL and as you know,

2581
02:03:22,560 --> 02:03:25,840
Speaker 4: Surf Melenda's friends with him back in Tennessee and the

2582
02:03:25,920 --> 02:03:27,800
Speaker 4: stuff they used to do with you, and you know,

2583
02:03:28,600 --> 02:03:31,520
Speaker 4: social media has changed. What's your view of like all

2584
02:03:31,600 --> 02:03:34,200
Speaker 4: of that stuff like players having their own social media,

2585
02:03:34,440 --> 02:03:37,680
Speaker 4: players having their own podcasts and all that stuff. Do

2586
02:03:37,760 --> 02:03:42,080
Speaker 4: you have you know, feelings about that or sure?

2587
02:03:42,120 --> 02:03:43,640
Speaker 8: I mean I think that that's a part of our

2588
02:03:43,720 --> 02:03:48,280
Speaker 8: life and it's something that we probably need to embrace.

2589
02:03:48,320 --> 02:03:53,000
Speaker 15: It's the way a lot of these younger kids communicate,

2590
02:03:55,480 --> 02:03:58,920
Speaker 15: and our involvement on social media may be less than

2591
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:03,680
Speaker 15: what these kids are coming out. Yeah, and so I

2592
02:04:03,760 --> 02:04:07,000
Speaker 15: think that it's it can be positive if it's done correctly.

2593
02:04:08,840 --> 02:04:14,320
Speaker 15: That if you you know, trying to be focused on

2594
02:04:14,480 --> 02:04:18,680
Speaker 15: what you want to do and using the right intent. Yeah,

2595
02:04:19,200 --> 02:04:22,200
Speaker 15: that that that that can be positive. And the podcasts,

2596
02:04:22,440 --> 02:04:23,840
Speaker 15: you think you're careful, you know, I mean, you just

2597
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:24,640
Speaker 15: have to be careful.

2598
02:04:25,240 --> 02:04:29,600
Speaker 8: They get very conversational and relaxed exactly.

2599
02:04:30,160 --> 02:04:33,440
Speaker 15: I mean again, like I've been on podcasts before, I've

2600
02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:36,240
Speaker 15: said things that into you know, you want to be funny,

2601
02:04:36,320 --> 02:04:39,200
Speaker 15: that ends up, you know, And I wasn't negative.

2602
02:04:39,320 --> 02:04:40,720
Speaker 8: It was just a joke that.

2603
02:04:40,800 --> 02:04:44,680
Speaker 15: Seems to have gone on. But you just have to

2604
02:04:44,720 --> 02:04:47,600
Speaker 15: be careful what that happened. What happens is is people

2605
02:04:47,680 --> 02:04:50,520
Speaker 15: cut out small snippets of a podcast and then the

2606
02:04:50,560 --> 02:04:52,280
Speaker 15: players like, well, I didn't say that, I didn't mean

2607
02:04:52,320 --> 02:04:55,280
Speaker 15: it like that, and I understand that they didn't. But

2608
02:04:55,440 --> 02:04:57,760
Speaker 15: after a course of forty five minutes, it's in a casion,

2609
02:04:57,800 --> 02:05:00,720
Speaker 15: it's a relaxed setting, and and then they left their

2610
02:05:00,760 --> 02:05:01,560
Speaker 15: guard down and then it.

2611
02:05:01,600 --> 02:05:02,520
Speaker 8: Becomes something bigger.

2612
02:05:02,640 --> 02:05:05,720
Speaker 15: So the biggest thing for me is the education, how

2613
02:05:05,800 --> 02:05:07,880
Speaker 15: to use it, how to communicate it, how to put

2614
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:10,960
Speaker 15: your brand out there, your message, try to make it

2615
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:13,480
Speaker 15: about the team and not so much I or me

2616
02:05:14,360 --> 02:05:15,280
Speaker 15: but we and us.

2617
02:05:15,720 --> 02:05:18,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've been there. Have you had much interaction with

2618
02:05:19,040 --> 02:05:21,520
Speaker 5: some of your former teammates, you know, talking about this

2619
02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:23,280
Speaker 5: leading up to taking the job.

2620
02:05:23,440 --> 02:05:29,080
Speaker 15: No, No, I meant I still text players and you know, teammates,

2621
02:05:30,320 --> 02:05:33,600
Speaker 15: but not a whole lot of as it related to

2622
02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:36,480
Speaker 15: this or you know, I was, I was busy, and

2623
02:05:36,880 --> 02:05:40,400
Speaker 15: you know, but obviously Teddy and Willie and Rosie and

2624
02:05:40,680 --> 02:05:45,560
Speaker 15: Seymour and you know Tom. You know, I've heard from

2625
02:05:45,560 --> 02:05:47,600
Speaker 15: a lot of guys and reached out and texted and

2626
02:05:48,640 --> 02:05:50,360
Speaker 15: you know, yeah, I asked.

2627
02:05:50,400 --> 02:05:51,640
Speaker 8: Proud of those relationships.

2628
02:05:51,880 --> 02:05:56,520
Speaker 5: I asked because Teddy was really supportive of you getting

2629
02:05:56,560 --> 02:06:00,320
Speaker 5: this job, and I thought he was really strong, even

2630
02:06:00,400 --> 02:06:02,960
Speaker 5: yesterday when it was already announced that you would you

2631
02:06:02,960 --> 02:06:05,280
Speaker 5: would agreed. I thought he was really a guy that

2632
02:06:05,520 --> 02:06:06,640
Speaker 5: seemed to be in your corner.

2633
02:06:07,120 --> 02:06:09,520
Speaker 4: Linebackers stick together, well.

2634
02:06:09,640 --> 02:06:12,720
Speaker 15: I meant, Teddy, uh, And Teddy was one of those

2635
02:06:12,760 --> 02:06:14,680
Speaker 15: guys that helped me become a pro. Like Teddy and

2636
02:06:14,720 --> 02:06:16,920
Speaker 15: I have different personalities, but we both believe in the

2637
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:20,760
Speaker 15: same thing. And you know, Teddy taught me that that

2638
02:06:20,960 --> 02:06:23,680
Speaker 15: no is a complete sentence and I'll never forget that.

2639
02:06:24,080 --> 02:06:25,440
Speaker 8: And I said, well, why do you say no?

2640
02:06:26,240 --> 02:06:33,800
Speaker 4: See no, that's good. It makes the Teddy Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

2641
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:35,800
Speaker 6: How much difference do you feel this that your second

2642
02:06:35,840 --> 02:06:37,640
Speaker 6: time around here as you sit on the precipice is

2643
02:06:37,720 --> 02:06:39,160
Speaker 6: starting off another franchise.

2644
02:06:39,160 --> 02:06:42,720
Speaker 8: Here's the It's almost sometimes is it? Do you know

2645
02:06:42,880 --> 02:06:45,480
Speaker 8: too much about what the job is going to entail?

2646
02:06:45,720 --> 02:06:47,160
Speaker 8: And can that can be a positive?

2647
02:06:48,960 --> 02:06:52,560
Speaker 15: Because I did think that you get into you know,

2648
02:06:53,040 --> 02:06:55,680
Speaker 15: there was one option. It was the it was the

2649
02:06:55,760 --> 02:06:59,480
Speaker 15: Tennessee job the last time, and there may or may

2650
02:06:59,560 --> 02:07:03,040
Speaker 15: not have been more options now, So then you start

2651
02:07:03,120 --> 02:07:06,280
Speaker 15: looking and you's like, can you overthink something? And you

2652
02:07:06,360 --> 02:07:08,320
Speaker 15: never want your players to be in that position where

2653
02:07:08,320 --> 02:07:12,520
Speaker 15: they're overthinking something, right. It wants to be like I'm trained, prepared,

2654
02:07:13,160 --> 02:07:15,840
Speaker 15: I'm poised them instinctive, and I'm ready to go make

2655
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:18,160
Speaker 15: a decision, as opposed.

2656
02:07:17,760 --> 02:07:21,480
Speaker 8: To well this that the other thing, what about this?

2657
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:24,800
Speaker 15: And so there's just I think you're more experienced, But

2658
02:07:24,960 --> 02:07:29,760
Speaker 15: then that also leads into the ability to sometimes second guess, Yeah,

2659
02:07:29,800 --> 02:07:30,360
Speaker 15: what you're doing.

2660
02:07:30,480 --> 02:07:33,360
Speaker 4: I mean, I know personally, I rarely get things right

2661
02:07:33,400 --> 02:07:35,720
Speaker 4: the first time right. It takes me a couple of

2662
02:07:35,760 --> 02:07:38,080
Speaker 4: times to get it right. And I'm not saying you're

2663
02:07:38,240 --> 02:07:40,800
Speaker 4: like that, but having ben a head coach before and

2664
02:07:40,920 --> 02:07:44,720
Speaker 4: now this is your second stint, is there one thing

2665
02:07:44,840 --> 02:07:47,440
Speaker 4: you say, I'm going to do this differently this time

2666
02:07:47,480 --> 02:07:49,320
Speaker 4: where this is what I've learned that I want to

2667
02:07:49,360 --> 02:07:51,960
Speaker 4: incorporate that I wasn't able to the last time.

2668
02:07:52,120 --> 02:07:54,200
Speaker 15: No, not necessarily that, I mean, just making sure that

2669
02:07:54,280 --> 02:07:59,080
Speaker 15: their roster has competition throughout, you know, just the whatever

2670
02:07:59,200 --> 02:08:02,160
Speaker 15: you feel like is the front line starters and the backups,

2671
02:08:02,200 --> 02:08:04,680
Speaker 15: and making sure that everybody prepares us a starter each

2672
02:08:04,720 --> 02:08:09,360
Speaker 15: and every week. Try to keep everybody engaged and hope

2673
02:08:09,400 --> 02:08:13,280
Speaker 15: that they take advantage of opportunities. Talk about the connection piece,

2674
02:08:14,160 --> 02:08:16,920
Speaker 15: you know, that's critical and making sure that we have

2675
02:08:17,040 --> 02:08:20,480
Speaker 15: people that you know are willing to get to know

2676
02:08:20,600 --> 02:08:22,200
Speaker 15: the players another level.

2677
02:08:22,280 --> 02:08:25,000
Speaker 4: Even since when you were a player, Like practice, rules

2678
02:08:25,040 --> 02:08:28,560
Speaker 4: have change and it's tougher to hold these practices, especially

2679
02:08:28,680 --> 02:08:31,400
Speaker 4: during the season, where you keep you know, well, we

2680
02:08:31,480 --> 02:08:31,760
Speaker 4: want to.

2681
02:08:31,760 --> 02:08:33,960
Speaker 8: Be we want to be efficient and we want to

2682
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:34,960
Speaker 8: practice with speed.

2683
02:08:35,760 --> 02:08:39,560
Speaker 15: Uh, so that the timing of different routes and coverages

2684
02:08:39,720 --> 02:08:42,280
Speaker 15: or pressures are there. I mean, I think great teams

2685
02:08:43,320 --> 02:08:44,720
Speaker 15: know how to practice.

2686
02:08:46,200 --> 02:08:49,080
Speaker 8: With without full pads. But there's a speed. They stay

2687
02:08:49,120 --> 02:08:52,320
Speaker 8: off the ground. So we'll practice.

2688
02:08:51,920 --> 02:08:54,360
Speaker 15: As hard and as fast as we can based on,

2689
02:08:55,080 --> 02:08:59,240
Speaker 15: you know, the availability the players to stay healthy and

2690
02:08:59,280 --> 02:09:00,000
Speaker 15: stay on their feet.

2691
02:09:00,120 --> 02:09:01,560
Speaker 8: Did not fall all over the place.

2692
02:09:01,760 --> 02:09:02,800
Speaker 5: You're still putting the pads on.

2693
02:09:03,360 --> 02:09:04,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, we see on.

2694
02:09:05,280 --> 02:09:07,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what I mean. We we love that thing.

2695
02:09:07,480 --> 02:09:09,720
Speaker 15: It's nice and thin, it can travel anywhere, it can

2696
02:09:09,760 --> 02:09:11,680
Speaker 15: go in your suitcase and go to the workouts.

2697
02:09:11,720 --> 02:09:15,360
Speaker 8: And that's been a good pad that they made for us.

2698
02:09:16,080 --> 02:09:18,120
Speaker 5: One of the things that was, oh, you gotta wrap

2699
02:09:18,160 --> 02:09:19,080
Speaker 5: it up, we gotta go all right.

2700
02:09:19,120 --> 02:09:20,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, one more question.

2701
02:09:20,480 --> 02:09:21,720
Speaker 5: Well, I was just gonna say one of the things

2702
02:09:21,760 --> 02:09:23,640
Speaker 5: that that stuck out to me when you talked about

2703
02:09:23,720 --> 02:09:27,040
Speaker 5: the college players and the differences come you know, spending

2704
02:09:27,080 --> 02:09:29,200
Speaker 5: five years of the program as opposed to six months.

2705
02:09:29,960 --> 02:09:31,800
Speaker 5: What have you seen the differences as they come to you.

2706
02:09:33,600 --> 02:09:40,040
Speaker 15: That the accountability, uh maybe they were enabled at college.

2707
02:09:40,800 --> 02:09:43,920
Speaker 15: Don't don't want to tell them things that may disappoint

2708
02:09:43,960 --> 02:09:46,160
Speaker 15: them or upset them, for fear for them to go

2709
02:09:46,280 --> 02:09:47,320
Speaker 15: and look for another offer.

2710
02:09:49,480 --> 02:09:49,600
Speaker 8: You know.

2711
02:09:49,760 --> 02:09:52,800
Speaker 15: So sometimes that that leads to a player that's not

2712
02:09:52,920 --> 02:09:55,720
Speaker 15: as accountable to the team as he needs to be.

2713
02:09:57,080 --> 02:09:59,160
Speaker 15: And that's okay, you know what I mean. Like we

2714
02:09:59,440 --> 02:10:02,680
Speaker 15: we can change. We can do our part to help

2715
02:10:02,760 --> 02:10:03,080
Speaker 15: change some.

2716
02:10:03,120 --> 02:10:03,800

Speaker 5: I were trying to explain to before the press conference,

2772

Speaker 5: what his Mike Rabel is like, that's it. That's a

2775
02:12:53,880 --> 02:12:54,160
Speaker 8: There you go.

2776
02:12:54,480 --> 02:12:56,720

2778
02:12:59,200 --> 02:13:00,920
Speaker 4: RPO because I'd be like, not get out of here.

2779

Speaker 5: Thanks. We're going back to a full.

2780
02:13:02,880 --> 02:13:06,720
Speaker 10: Back, yeah right, I I mean, look, I'm excited about that,

2781
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:09,480
Speaker 10: that idea of going back to a full back.

2782
02:13:09,520 --> 02:13:09,720
Speaker 27: Paul.

2783
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:12,520
Speaker 4: I'm all for it as long as he can catch, right.

2784
02:13:14,080 --> 02:13:16,760
Speaker 10: I don't know, while does Patrick reccard catch I've been

2785
02:13:16,800 --> 02:13:18,760
Speaker 10: watching him on over the weekend. I was like, I

2786
02:13:18,800 --> 02:13:19,440
Speaker 10: wouldn't mind that.

2787
02:13:20,200 --> 02:13:23,520
Speaker 4: What do you think? What do you think of my

2788
02:13:23,640 --> 02:13:27,360
Speaker 4: Mason Graham love a good player, good player.

2789
02:13:27,440 --> 02:13:29,960
Speaker 10: I kind of agree with the guys though that you know,

2790
02:13:30,080 --> 02:13:32,600
Speaker 10: is that a is that a premium position of need

2791
02:13:32,760 --> 02:13:35,480
Speaker 10: for the Patriots? And how does that shake out with

2792
02:13:35,560 --> 02:13:37,640
Speaker 10: him and Barmore in the front and like, how do

2793
02:13:37,720 --> 02:13:39,920
Speaker 10: you how do you go about that? And you hope

2794
02:13:39,960 --> 02:13:42,760
Speaker 10: that maybe guy like Mike Rabile can get Kean White

2795
02:13:43,200 --> 02:13:46,280
Speaker 10: on the right track and so really good player if

2796
02:13:46,320 --> 02:13:49,040
Speaker 10: you're just trying to grab talent and go best player available,

2797
02:13:49,040 --> 02:13:50,040
Speaker 10: I can see where your head's at.

2798
02:13:50,160 --> 02:13:53,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like I know, I say on Thursday

2799
02:13:53,600 --> 02:13:55,320
Speaker 3: night it felt like a Carter.

2800
02:13:56,840 --> 02:13:59,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean he's uh, it's a good chance he's

2801
02:14:00,120 --> 02:14:00,800
Speaker 10: one overall pick.

2802
02:14:01,040 --> 02:14:03,640
Speaker 6: That's that's the realization I had of like the guy

2803
02:14:03,760 --> 02:14:05,360
Speaker 6: being like I don't really care if they lose the

2804
02:14:05,360 --> 02:14:07,160
Speaker 6: first all pick to like me watching that game thirst

2805
02:14:07,160 --> 02:14:07,720
Speaker 6: and night being like.

2806
02:14:10,400 --> 02:14:12,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think his What stands out to him and

2807
02:14:12,680 --> 02:14:15,160
Speaker 10: what would make him so exciting with with Rabel is

2808
02:14:15,200 --> 02:14:17,920
Speaker 10: that he only played edge for one year at Penn State,

2809
02:14:18,040 --> 02:14:21,160
Speaker 10: so he's relatively new to playing on the line of scrimmage,

2810
02:14:21,360 --> 02:14:23,760
Speaker 10: and he's still that good and that dominant at college.

2811
02:14:23,840 --> 02:14:25,920
Speaker 10: So you were talking about him putting on the pads

2812
02:14:25,960 --> 02:14:29,720
Speaker 10: and going out there. Imagine him training up Abdul Carter

2813
02:14:29,920 --> 02:14:32,360
Speaker 10: on the nuances of rushing the passer and things like that,

2814
02:14:32,600 --> 02:14:35,880
Speaker 10: and where his development could then take him from there

2815
02:14:36,040 --> 02:14:38,400
Speaker 10: to be a full time edge player would be something else.

2816
02:14:38,520 --> 02:14:40,120
Speaker 6: I brought up with Paul what he did with with

2817
02:14:40,240 --> 02:14:42,880
Speaker 6: Harold Landry, who not that kind of athlete. Yeah, good

2818
02:14:42,920 --> 02:14:45,360
Speaker 6: player nonetheless, and no similar kind of role that he

2819
02:14:45,520 --> 02:14:46,120
Speaker 6: developed him.

2820
02:14:47,560 --> 02:14:51,160
Speaker 3: You go talking, so how about them blue Jays?

2821
02:14:51,560 --> 02:14:51,880
Speaker 8: All right?

2822
02:14:51,960 --> 02:14:54,800
Speaker 4: Now? I just wanted to get how about emails loaded up?

2823
02:14:54,840 --> 02:14:58,360
Speaker 4: We've got a s load of emails, But do one

2824
02:14:58,400 --> 02:15:01,760
Speaker 4: more call because Ernie's been holding on before Rabel came

2825
02:15:01,800 --> 02:15:04,280
Speaker 4: into the room. Ernie's in Tennessee. What's up, Ernie?

2826
02:15:05,440 --> 02:15:05,520
Speaker 9: Oh?

2827
02:15:07,560 --> 02:15:10,360
Speaker 32: I enjoy your show and podcast.

2828
02:15:11,400 --> 02:15:11,680
Speaker 14: I just.

2829
02:15:13,680 --> 02:15:17,920
Speaker 31: Went into the Middle Tennessee YMCA this morning with my

2830
02:15:18,680 --> 02:15:23,520
Speaker 31: Rabel jersey and hoping to bust the balls and I

2831
02:15:23,640 --> 02:15:26,600
Speaker 31: got a reaction that I wasn't expecting.

2832
02:15:27,880 --> 02:15:30,880
Speaker 32: They were all like, oh, you got a great coach.

2833
02:15:31,480 --> 02:15:34,080
Speaker 31: Rabel is a great guy, which.

2834
02:15:33,960 --> 02:15:34,520
Speaker 32: We had him.

2835
02:15:34,560 --> 02:15:34,680
Speaker 3: You know.

2836
02:15:34,760 --> 02:15:39,360
Speaker 32: It was like Wow, they all loved him. Yeah, I

2837
02:15:39,520 --> 02:15:43,840
Speaker 32: just wanted to share that that at least the fans

2838
02:15:43,880 --> 02:15:47,080
Speaker 32: in Tennessee love the guy, appreciated what he did.

2839
02:15:47,480 --> 02:15:50,080
Speaker 4: Ye, thanks Ernie, appreciate the call, Thanks Ernie.

2840
02:15:50,080 --> 02:15:53,280
Speaker 5: I agree with that though, because his personality. You see

2841
02:15:53,360 --> 02:15:57,120
Speaker 5: the personality, he's sort of an easy guy to sort

2842
02:15:57,160 --> 02:16:01,160
Speaker 5: of connect with, because he's kind of just like your friends.

2843
02:16:01,560 --> 02:16:03,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, busting balls all the time.

2844
02:16:04,560 --> 02:16:07,080
Speaker 5: No, obviously none of that manners if you can't coach, right,

2845
02:16:07,360 --> 02:16:10,560
Speaker 5: But I can understand why the Tennessee fans liked him. Sure.

2846
02:16:11,680 --> 02:16:15,600
Speaker 4: Spiing Fresno Risen and podcasts at Patriots dot Com feels

2847
02:16:15,640 --> 02:16:17,920
Speaker 4: like walking into a retirement home was the moment I

2848
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:20,680
Speaker 4: got fully on board with the higher but a great

2849
02:16:20,760 --> 02:16:23,520
Speaker 4: moment having Vrabel on the show today, Evan got his

2850
02:16:23,600 --> 02:16:26,160
Speaker 4: input in and it's now fully to blame or credit

2851
02:16:26,280 --> 02:16:32,920
Speaker 4: if all the team runs is power. So I was

2852
02:16:33,000 --> 02:16:40,320
Speaker 4: a little you know, throwing a thrown whatever power? Really

2853
02:16:40,440 --> 02:16:41,320
Speaker 4: that's your best run?

2854
02:16:41,440 --> 02:16:43,840
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, you pull the guard around and get

2855
02:16:43,879 --> 02:16:46,280
Speaker 10: him on the linebacker Henry coach and then and then

2856
02:16:46,320 --> 02:16:48,520
Speaker 10: you pull the guard around and it's play action. They

2857
02:16:48,640 --> 02:16:50,480
Speaker 10: can't tell the difference. It looks the same you hit

2858
02:16:50,560 --> 02:16:52,000
Speaker 10: that bang slant right behind it.

2859
02:16:52,200 --> 02:16:55,600
Speaker 3: Like said like double reverse or something, And wow.

2860
02:16:56,360 --> 02:16:58,920
Speaker 10: I almost said, I almost said duo. But but power

2861
02:16:59,440 --> 02:17:00,640
Speaker 10: power do a good play.

2862
02:17:00,560 --> 02:17:03,880
Speaker 4: Too, uh, Mark writes in I'm over the moon with

2863
02:17:04,000 --> 02:17:07,440
Speaker 4: the hiring of Stable Mike Rabel and truly believe that

2864
02:17:07,520 --> 02:17:09,440
Speaker 4: he will be a successful head coach in New England

2865
02:17:09,480 --> 02:17:12,120
Speaker 4: and think mister Kraft should be commended for how quickly

2866
02:17:12,480 --> 02:17:16,160
Speaker 4: and efficiently he's rectified his mistake. But would you agree

2867
02:17:16,560 --> 02:17:18,480
Speaker 4: with me that the lack of talent on the team

2868
02:17:18,560 --> 02:17:20,879
Speaker 4: of late it would appear to be time to change

2869
02:17:20,920 --> 02:17:25,720
Speaker 4: the talent spotting element to help improve the major issue. Well,

2870
02:17:25,800 --> 02:17:30,160
Speaker 4: I'm you know, that's a work in progress. Identifying talent

2871
02:17:30,320 --> 02:17:33,280
Speaker 4: and getting them on into the team, that's a work

2872
02:17:33,280 --> 02:17:35,879
Speaker 4: in progress. And we'll see what head coach Mike Vrabel

2873
02:17:36,240 --> 02:17:37,840
Speaker 4: has to has to say about that.

2874
02:17:38,040 --> 02:17:40,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm interested. You know, we're we're planning to go

2875
02:17:40,760 --> 02:17:42,760
Speaker 10: to Mobile here in a couple of weeks, some of us,

2876
02:17:42,879 --> 02:17:45,880
Speaker 10: and I'm sure he'll be there with with Elliott and uh,

2877
02:17:46,080 --> 02:17:48,600
Speaker 10: you know, we'll see maybe what we get to talk

2878
02:17:48,600 --> 02:17:50,640
Speaker 10: to him a little bit down there and get to

2879
02:17:50,800 --> 02:17:53,760
Speaker 10: that that chapter, like right, now we're doing you know,

2880
02:17:55,080 --> 02:17:57,320
Speaker 10: nursing homes and things like that. Well, we'll get to

2881
02:17:57,400 --> 02:18:02,560
Speaker 10: the point where we're talking about it was retirement. Well

2882
02:18:02,640 --> 02:18:05,279
Speaker 10: we'll get to uh, we'll get to the talent evaluation.

2883
02:18:05,360 --> 02:18:08,000
Speaker 10: But he did mention Elliott Wolf multiple times in his

2884
02:18:08,120 --> 02:18:12,440
Speaker 10: introductory press conference, and it seemed whether that was just uh,

2885
02:18:12,640 --> 02:18:15,240
Speaker 10: for appearances or not, it seemed like he had sort

2886
02:18:15,280 --> 02:18:16,840
Speaker 10: of h hit it off almost a little bit with

2887
02:18:16,879 --> 02:18:17,520
Speaker 10: Elliott already.

2888
02:18:17,600 --> 02:18:19,960
Speaker 5: I got the same impression. And I also would say,

2889
02:18:20,160 --> 02:18:21,880
Speaker 5: I don't know if you were here when we were

2890
02:18:21,920 --> 02:18:25,320
Speaker 5: talking about some of our impressions. I didn't get the

2891
02:18:25,840 --> 02:18:29,080
Speaker 5: feel that he was being KOI by not giving you

2892
02:18:29,200 --> 02:18:31,840
Speaker 5: much information about offensive and defensive coordinators.

2893
02:18:31,920 --> 02:18:33,720
Speaker 3: I think that's very much a work in progress.

2894
02:18:34,120 --> 02:18:35,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, which I think it should be, like I hope

2895
02:18:35,760 --> 02:18:37,320
Speaker 6: it is, you know, I hope like to your point,

2896
02:18:37,440 --> 02:18:39,840
Speaker 6: I would have hoped that he had guys already lined up.

2897
02:18:39,920 --> 02:18:41,840
Speaker 3: Well, maybe he does, but I mean maybe he's just not.

2898
02:18:42,080 --> 02:18:43,880
Speaker 5: That's why I said I didn't get the impression that

2899
02:18:43,959 --> 02:18:47,360
Speaker 5: he was being KOI. I think that he's open, he's

2900
02:18:47,440 --> 02:18:49,880
Speaker 5: open to learning about people. I figured he would have

2901
02:18:49,959 --> 02:18:52,680
Speaker 5: at least someone on, you know, one of those two,

2902
02:18:52,840 --> 02:18:53,680
Speaker 5: he would have a guy.

2903
02:18:53,600 --> 02:18:54,840
Speaker 8: In mind that.

2904
02:18:56,520 --> 02:19:02,120
Speaker 4: Niche carrying Exeter, New Hampshire. Geez guys, Evan gets to

2905
02:19:02,200 --> 02:19:05,240
Speaker 4: stand in the corner when Mike coach Rabel arrived. Get

2906
02:19:05,320 --> 02:19:06,680
Speaker 4: the guy a stool or a chair.

2907
02:19:07,040 --> 02:19:12,040
Speaker 10: So true, so true, Just expect Alex p Yeah there,

2908
02:19:12,480 --> 02:19:13,560
Speaker 10: I'll give up my seat for the.

2909
02:19:15,040 --> 02:19:16,280
Speaker 5: Disrespected him a little bit.

2910
02:19:16,760 --> 02:19:23,240
Speaker 4: It's okay, let's see. That's the same one. Adam rights in.

2911
02:19:23,400 --> 02:19:25,360
Speaker 4: I love when there's a yapper on the phone who

2912
02:19:25,440 --> 02:19:28,800
Speaker 4: just wants to hear themselves talking. Fred accidentally hits the

2913
02:19:28,879 --> 02:19:32,000
Speaker 4: button to hang up on it. Then to see Paul

2914
02:19:32,120 --> 02:19:34,120
Speaker 4: doing his best to hold the laughter and gets me

2915
02:19:34,200 --> 02:19:37,040
Speaker 4: every time, laughing my butt off in my office right now.

2916
02:19:37,360 --> 02:19:40,160
Speaker 6: Fred's defense, he does do the like he tries to

2917
02:19:40,160 --> 02:19:43,400
Speaker 6: put the little sounds into like he gives a little cure, just.

2918
02:19:43,440 --> 02:19:45,160
Speaker 5: A couple of chances, and when you don't take it,

2919
02:19:45,280 --> 02:19:46,480
Speaker 5: you just go, oh, I'm sorry.

2920
02:19:48,320 --> 02:19:50,560
Speaker 4: Uh Sila's Seattle rights in.

2921
02:19:51,080 --> 02:19:51,360
Speaker 5: I'm not.

2922
02:19:51,800 --> 02:19:54,360
Speaker 4: I'm not one of the delusional fans that thinks Mayo

2923
02:19:54,520 --> 02:19:56,680
Speaker 4: is the worst coach that ever lived, or that Rabel

2924
02:19:56,760 --> 02:19:58,280
Speaker 4: is going to take this team to the super Bowl

2925
02:19:58,360 --> 02:20:01,360
Speaker 4: next season. I'm just in watch I'm watching, I'm in

2926
02:20:01,480 --> 02:20:04,560
Speaker 4: watching C mode. The team is in a multi year rebuild,

2927
02:20:04,560 --> 02:20:07,200
Speaker 4: regardless of who's got the headset in my opinion, So

2928
02:20:07,320 --> 02:20:10,920
Speaker 4: what has Rabel done that makes everyone so optimistic that

2929
02:20:11,040 --> 02:20:13,880
Speaker 4: it can turn this situation around. Drake May has an

2930
02:20:13,920 --> 02:20:17,360
Speaker 4: okay rookie season, but I'm far from comfortable with calling

2931
02:20:17,440 --> 02:20:20,240
Speaker 4: him a franchise quarterback right now, So I hope that's

2932
02:20:20,280 --> 02:20:23,359
Speaker 4: not what people are leaning on. It's a very important

2933
02:20:23,400 --> 02:20:26,000
Speaker 4: time for the team. Because of this hire. Doesn't work,

2934
02:20:26,040 --> 02:20:29,119
Speaker 4: we're gonna be in for over a decade of suck.

2935
02:20:29,680 --> 02:20:32,560
Speaker 4: I agree, it's we're at a crossroads. I agree, and

2936
02:20:32,640 --> 02:20:35,480
Speaker 4: there's no guarantees. But I also I push back.

2937
02:20:35,400 --> 02:20:39,080
Speaker 10: On the notion that they can't be relevant next year.

2938
02:20:39,160 --> 02:20:41,400
Speaker 10: I'm not ready to say that they're gonna be a

2939
02:20:41,480 --> 02:20:44,400
Speaker 10: title contender, obviously, but like, look at Washington, like I

2940
02:20:44,440 --> 02:20:46,840
Speaker 10: couldn't help but watch that game last night and think

2941
02:20:46,920 --> 02:20:50,360
Speaker 10: to myself, like, without saying, Terry McLaurin, who was on

2942
02:20:50,560 --> 02:20:52,039
Speaker 10: the Commanders two years.

2943
02:20:51,800 --> 02:20:54,199
Speaker 5: Ago, I've said this so many times this season.

2944
02:20:54,080 --> 02:20:56,240
Speaker 10: That was any different than what the Patriots talent is

2945
02:20:56,360 --> 02:20:59,080
Speaker 10: right now. They hit on the quarterback, they hit on

2946
02:20:59,160 --> 02:21:01,440
Speaker 10: the culture defense. It's a minded head coach and they

2947
02:21:01,520 --> 02:21:03,880
Speaker 10: hit on Cliff Kingsbury and now they're off and running.

2948
02:21:03,879 --> 02:21:06,000
Speaker 10: They're in the divisional round. I'm not saying the Patriots

2949
02:21:06,000 --> 02:21:07,440
Speaker 10: are going to be that, but I think the notion

2950
02:21:07,600 --> 02:21:10,560
Speaker 10: that they're so far away you can turn it around.

2951
02:21:10,720 --> 02:21:14,039
Speaker 5: That's the part that I always say, Like this idea

2952
02:21:14,160 --> 02:21:18,120
Speaker 5: that it takes three years like in the NFL, is

2953
02:21:18,200 --> 02:21:21,920
Speaker 5: the I don't want to say the word easiest, but

2954
02:21:22,040 --> 02:21:24,720
Speaker 5: it's the easiest to do it quickly out of the

2955
02:21:24,840 --> 02:21:28,040
Speaker 5: major sports. You think so yes, because of everything that

2956
02:21:28,120 --> 02:21:30,680
Speaker 5: Evan just said, there are all the avenues that are

2957
02:21:30,720 --> 02:21:33,920
Speaker 5: there for you. I think the lack of guaranteed contracts

2958
02:21:33,959 --> 02:21:34,560
Speaker 5: even helps you.

2959
02:21:36,400 --> 02:21:37,520
Speaker 4: You can go from.

2960
02:21:39,120 --> 02:21:43,640
Speaker 5: Bad to playoff contender in a blink. If I'm not

2961
02:21:43,760 --> 02:21:46,080
Speaker 5: telling you it's easy. I'm not telling you it's easy

2962
02:21:46,120 --> 02:21:50,120
Speaker 5: because it's not easy. But I've seen a million examples

2963
02:21:50,200 --> 02:21:52,680
Speaker 5: of teams like Washington that just go from really bad

2964
02:21:53,080 --> 02:21:56,119
Speaker 5: to pretty good overnight. Now can they sustain that? We'll

2965
02:21:56,160 --> 02:22:01,040
Speaker 5: find out. But Washington was every as bad as New

2966
02:22:01,120 --> 02:22:05,000
Speaker 5: England last year. They finished tied with the second worst

2967
02:22:05,040 --> 02:22:08,160
Speaker 5: record in football. They played on the field and the

2968
02:22:08,200 --> 02:22:09,720
Speaker 5: game came down to the last play there was a

2969
02:22:09,800 --> 02:22:13,680
Speaker 5: deflected interception Washington ended up winning. They were the same

2970
02:22:14,240 --> 02:22:17,320
Speaker 5: teams and one of them just won twelve games and

2971
02:22:17,360 --> 02:22:20,959
Speaker 5: the other one won four. They both hit on the quarterback,

2972
02:22:22,240 --> 02:22:24,320
Speaker 5: So I think there are some things that you can

2973
02:22:24,400 --> 02:22:26,959
Speaker 5: do to figure it out. And Evan's right. The only

2974
02:22:27,000 --> 02:22:30,360
Speaker 5: thing that they really have that the Patriots don't is

2975
02:22:30,480 --> 02:22:34,320
Speaker 5: Terry McLaurin. Brian Robinson's not any better than ramondre Stevenson,

2976
02:22:34,440 --> 02:22:37,760
Speaker 5: Zach Ertz isn't any better than Hunter Henry. You know,

2977
02:22:37,959 --> 02:22:40,080
Speaker 5: Austin Eckler at this stage of his career isn't any

2978
02:22:40,120 --> 02:22:44,320
Speaker 5: better than Antonio Gibson. They got Brandon Coleman in what

2979
02:22:44,480 --> 02:22:45,359
Speaker 5: the third round.

2980
02:22:45,240 --> 02:22:47,840
Speaker 10: Yes, to play left tackle. I think almost back to

2981
02:22:47,920 --> 02:22:50,920
Speaker 10: back pick, you know, yeah, I think he was the

2982
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:52,160
Speaker 10: pick before Kayden Wallace.

2983
02:22:52,240 --> 02:22:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2984
02:22:52,560 --> 02:22:52,760
Speaker 11: Yeah.

2985
02:22:53,480 --> 02:22:58,120
Speaker 5: So he hasn't been great, but their quarterback has been special.

2986
02:22:58,600 --> 02:23:00,760
Speaker 5: They're finding ways to win some game. James Layton game.

2987
02:23:00,840 --> 02:23:03,720
Speaker 5: I think that's like the fifth go ahead touchdown that

2988
02:23:03,760 --> 02:23:06,520
Speaker 5: they've had, or go ahead drive that they've had, or

2989
02:23:06,520 --> 02:23:10,240
Speaker 5: something crazy. I don't know. Maybe he is.

2990
02:23:10,800 --> 02:23:12,880
Speaker 10: I mean I never thought that much of him.

2991
02:23:12,879 --> 02:23:16,080
Speaker 4: He would just turn the cap around. That's my only

2992
02:23:16,200 --> 02:23:16,800
Speaker 4: problem with I.

2993
02:23:16,840 --> 02:23:20,280
Speaker 5: Mean, it's not like he went to Dallas and made

2994
02:23:20,320 --> 02:23:22,200
Speaker 5: them great. It's not like he went to the Rams

2995
02:23:22,240 --> 02:23:24,160
Speaker 5: and he went to Atlanta and took him to the

2996
02:23:24,200 --> 02:23:26,440
Speaker 5: super Bowl. Right, and now he's at Washington, which has

2997
02:23:26,720 --> 02:23:29,720
Speaker 5: been awful for twenty years, and he's made them pretty good.

2998
02:23:29,800 --> 02:23:29,879
Speaker 14: Right.

2999
02:23:30,000 --> 02:23:33,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's why maybe he is under He's really good

3000
02:23:33,240 --> 02:23:35,880
Speaker 10: at hiring people, and I think that that's the next big,

3001
02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:39,880
Speaker 10: big step for Rabel. In Atlanta he hired Kyle Shanahan

3002
02:23:39,959 --> 02:23:43,360
Speaker 10: and as his offensive coordinator and Steve Sarkgian and then

3003
02:23:43,680 --> 02:23:48,840
Speaker 10: now in Washington he's hired Cliff Kingsbury and the offensive

3004
02:23:48,879 --> 02:23:51,960
Speaker 10: coordinator hire is now the biggest decision that Rabel has

3005
02:23:52,040 --> 02:23:54,320
Speaker 10: to make, and he should be. Like to Mike's point,

3006
02:23:54,360 --> 02:23:57,600
Speaker 10: I think he needs to hear multiple avenues.

3007
02:23:57,640 --> 02:23:57,760
Speaker 4: You know.

3008
02:23:58,080 --> 02:24:00,840
Speaker 10: Obviously we know McDaniels is out there. Oh we've heard

3009
02:24:00,920 --> 02:24:04,240
Speaker 10: Tommy Reese's name thrown around from Cleveland. But there are

3010
02:24:04,240 --> 02:24:06,560
Speaker 10: other names out there. You know, Josh McCown's out there

3011
02:24:06,840 --> 02:24:09,560
Speaker 10: as a quarterbacks coach. Like maybe he's the guy who knows.

3012
02:24:09,680 --> 02:24:13,080
Speaker 10: But to Dan Quinn's credit, he's done a really good

3013
02:24:13,200 --> 02:24:15,680
Speaker 10: job of building that side of the ball in terms

3014
02:24:15,720 --> 02:24:18,640
Speaker 10: of his staff, because that's not his area of expertise.

3015
02:24:19,040 --> 02:24:21,800
Speaker 10: So he's hired really good coordinators, three of them, really.

3016
02:24:22,520 --> 02:24:25,800
Speaker 4: Jail writes in first time emailing or contacting the show

3017
02:24:25,840 --> 02:24:28,680
Speaker 4: in any way, Although I've been listening for over a decade,

3018
02:24:29,480 --> 02:24:32,280
Speaker 4: do you think coach Rabel was also addressing the players

3019
02:24:32,320 --> 02:24:35,280
Speaker 4: as well as everyone else when he commented on having

3020
02:24:35,400 --> 02:24:38,920
Speaker 4: multiple staff members focusing on the needs of players off

3021
02:24:38,959 --> 02:24:41,720
Speaker 4: the field. I found it interesting how much he emphasized

3022
02:24:41,760 --> 02:24:44,920
Speaker 4: the players their mental and physical health throughout the press conference.

3023
02:24:46,280 --> 02:24:49,240
Speaker 4: I think we all notice that, you know, and I

3024
02:24:49,320 --> 02:24:53,439
Speaker 4: think maybe in today's NFL or sports modern sports.

3025
02:24:53,120 --> 02:24:55,240
Speaker 6: You have to it is I mean just I mean

3026
02:24:55,320 --> 02:24:57,080
Speaker 6: that the story he told about a guy being a

3027
02:24:57,120 --> 02:24:58,840
Speaker 6: little late to a meeting or you know, coming in

3028
02:24:58,959 --> 02:25:01,240
Speaker 6: and not being ready to meet like that, that says

3029
02:25:01,280 --> 02:25:02,920
Speaker 6: everything to me. I think that's you know, those are

3030
02:25:02,920 --> 02:25:04,720
Speaker 6: the meanings that guys miss, those are, you know. I

3031
02:25:04,800 --> 02:25:06,720
Speaker 6: think he's just showing that you have to be a

3032
02:25:06,760 --> 02:25:09,600
Speaker 6: little bit more open minding with with you know, players

3033
02:25:09,640 --> 02:25:11,879
Speaker 6: today and what they're going through. And I think it'll

3034
02:25:11,920 --> 02:25:13,240
Speaker 6: come back to you if you you know, if these

3035
02:25:13,280 --> 02:25:15,120
Speaker 6: guys feel like they're cared about and they're seen just

3036
02:25:15,200 --> 02:25:17,280
Speaker 6: as people and not just players who are there to

3037
02:25:17,360 --> 02:25:19,000
Speaker 6: do a job that you know, I think that that's

3038
02:25:19,040 --> 02:25:19,760
Speaker 6: better for everybody.

3039
02:25:20,360 --> 02:25:24,000
Speaker 4: Lexi and Orlando, Florida. Maybe a silly question, but where

3040
02:25:24,040 --> 02:25:26,960
Speaker 4: does Rabel's contract money come from? Does it lower the

3041
02:25:27,040 --> 02:25:27,879
Speaker 4: available cap?

3042
02:25:28,320 --> 02:25:28,360
Speaker 14: No?

3043
02:25:28,640 --> 02:25:32,840
Speaker 4: No, it's another pool of money and that's the owner's discretion.

3044
02:25:33,200 --> 02:25:33,280
Speaker 8: Right.

3045
02:25:33,360 --> 02:25:37,360
Speaker 4: There's no coaching cap in the NFL. Correct, yep.

3046
02:25:38,240 --> 02:25:40,040
Speaker 5: Does not affect the salary cap.

3047
02:25:40,959 --> 02:25:41,160
Speaker 8: Yep.

3048
02:25:44,520 --> 02:25:51,720
Speaker 4: Let's see stuff about Evan. No, no more stuff about Evan.

3049
02:25:53,800 --> 02:25:55,960
Speaker 4: Josh writes in this could be a pipe dream in

3050
02:25:56,000 --> 02:25:58,199
Speaker 4: my end, but do you see a path to aj

3051
02:25:58,360 --> 02:26:02,680
Speaker 4: Brown joining the Patriots via Trey? Brown is disgruntled in Philly,

3052
02:26:02,800 --> 02:26:06,199
Speaker 4: something in full display last night with his sideline book Antics,

3053
02:26:06,600 --> 02:26:09,280
Speaker 4: and has a previous relationship with Rabel. I think he's

3054
02:26:09,320 --> 02:26:11,560
Speaker 4: on the market, and we're in a position financially to

3055
02:26:11,640 --> 02:26:14,439
Speaker 4: take in a guy that's already signed a multi year extension.

3056
02:26:14,800 --> 02:26:17,120
Speaker 4: I'm not overly concerned with any character. Is there's just

3057
02:26:17,360 --> 02:26:21,039
Speaker 4: Howie Roseman's asking price. That being said, we're talking about

3058
02:26:21,080 --> 02:26:23,560
Speaker 4: a guy that cried on Draft night because the Patriots

3059
02:26:23,760 --> 02:26:27,080
Speaker 4: didn't draft him. What was that all about with him

3060
02:26:27,120 --> 02:26:28,760
Speaker 4: reading the book on the motivations and.

3061
02:26:30,360 --> 02:26:32,320
Speaker 10: Apparently he does it quite a bit, but they just

3062
02:26:32,400 --> 02:26:33,560
Speaker 10: caught him on camera doing it.

3063
02:26:33,800 --> 02:26:36,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I would actually say, like, I'm not going

3064
02:26:36,280 --> 02:26:38,880
Speaker 5: to dismiss the email because I think the email is right.

3065
02:26:38,920 --> 02:26:41,520
Speaker 5: I think there's a chance that he's available. Yeah, so,

3066
02:26:41,800 --> 02:26:43,520
Speaker 5: and I think if if he is, I think he

3067
02:26:43,600 --> 02:26:46,359
Speaker 5: probably likes Rabel and we know he likes the Patriots,

3068
02:26:46,760 --> 02:26:49,000
Speaker 5: So I would say that there's a possibility there. And

3069
02:26:49,080 --> 02:26:52,320
Speaker 5: that's the I don't think he's disgruntled because of the book.

3070
02:26:52,360 --> 02:26:54,720
Speaker 5: Last night, the book, I think is did you see him?

3071
02:26:55,040 --> 02:26:56,680
Speaker 5: He had a big smile on his face and like

3072
02:26:56,760 --> 02:26:59,560
Speaker 5: they were laughing about it. No, I know, but Tevan's point,

3073
02:26:59,560 --> 02:27:01,080
Speaker 5: it's something he's he does often.

3074
02:27:01,879 --> 02:27:04,720
Speaker 4: At that point in the game, was the game decided? No,

3075
02:27:05,160 --> 02:27:07,160
Speaker 4: So like, shouldn't he be focused on the game?

3076
02:27:07,320 --> 02:27:10,440
Speaker 5: But I think that's how he focused. I might be

3077
02:27:10,560 --> 02:27:14,480
Speaker 5: reading into this, Yeah, that's what I don't Yeah, I

3078
02:27:14,520 --> 02:27:16,520
Speaker 5: don't want to talk out of turn because I don't

3079
02:27:16,560 --> 02:27:18,560
Speaker 5: know a J. Brown, but I think that's part of

3080
02:27:18,680 --> 02:27:22,880
Speaker 5: his his process. Okay, Now, there have been other signs

3081
02:27:22,920 --> 02:27:24,800
Speaker 5: this year that would tell you that he's disgruntled, Like

3082
02:27:24,840 --> 02:27:25,480
Speaker 5: when he said.

3083
02:27:25,280 --> 02:27:25,920
Speaker 3: What do we need to do?

3084
02:27:25,959 --> 02:27:28,720
Speaker 10: We got to prove the passing game. Yeah, Like, look,

3085
02:27:28,760 --> 02:27:31,119
Speaker 10: he's a deva wide receiver, so when he doesn't get

3086
02:27:31,160 --> 02:27:33,640
Speaker 10: his you know he's going to feel some type of

3087
02:27:33,680 --> 02:27:35,480
Speaker 10: way about it. And last night when they showed him

3088
02:27:35,520 --> 02:27:37,120
Speaker 10: on the bench reading the book, I think he had

3089
02:27:37,160 --> 02:27:39,080
Speaker 10: one catch for ten yards at that point and they

3090
02:27:39,080 --> 02:27:40,000
Speaker 10: were running the ball a lot.

3091
02:27:40,120 --> 02:27:42,400
Speaker 5: And what happened on the next drive did they feed

3092
02:27:42,520 --> 02:27:45,480
Speaker 5: him He No, he made an unbelievable block. Yeah, on

3093
02:27:45,600 --> 02:27:47,880
Speaker 5: the next drive they made a big thing out of it. Like,

3094
02:27:48,440 --> 02:27:51,320
Speaker 5: I don't think last night is the is the illustration

3095
02:27:51,480 --> 02:27:54,800
Speaker 5: of your example of him being disgruntled. But I do

3096
02:27:54,920 --> 02:27:55,840
Speaker 5: think there's a chance.

3097
02:27:55,680 --> 02:27:57,640
Speaker 3: That he could be available. I would take and put

3098
02:27:57,720 --> 02:27:58,480
Speaker 3: him at the top of the list.

3099
02:27:58,840 --> 02:28:01,440
Speaker 5: Now Philadelphia would be easy to get rid of him

3100
02:28:01,440 --> 02:28:03,160
Speaker 5: because I think that offense needs him.

3101
02:28:03,320 --> 02:28:03,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

3102
02:28:04,040 --> 02:28:05,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think he's the type of receiver and I

3103
02:28:06,000 --> 02:28:08,320
Speaker 10: know it's one of the best receivers in football. That's

3104
02:28:08,360 --> 02:28:10,880
Speaker 10: the type of receiver. Like, he's the type of receiver

3105
02:28:11,000 --> 02:28:13,800
Speaker 10: though from a skill set standpoint that I really do

3106
02:28:13,959 --> 02:28:16,960
Speaker 10: believe Rabel gravitates towards and I know that. You know,

3107
02:28:17,320 --> 02:28:20,000
Speaker 10: we sometimes poke fun at the ability to block and

3108
02:28:20,080 --> 02:28:23,520
Speaker 10: all that kind of stuff, But an all situation receiver

3109
02:28:23,800 --> 02:28:27,119
Speaker 10: that allows you to then, you know, incorporate things off

3110
02:28:27,160 --> 02:28:29,640
Speaker 10: of the run game with him on the field because

3111
02:28:29,640 --> 02:28:32,440
Speaker 10: he can hold his own in terms of blocking. I

3112
02:28:32,480 --> 02:28:35,000
Speaker 10: think does scream their type?

3113
02:28:35,080 --> 02:28:36,280
Speaker 5: Now you give a one for him?

3114
02:28:36,520 --> 02:28:38,200
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, four?

3115
02:28:38,640 --> 02:28:39,560
Speaker 10: No, next year's one.

3116
02:28:40,200 --> 02:28:42,240
Speaker 5: I'm not giving four, So you give six?

3117
02:28:44,280 --> 02:28:45,119
Speaker 10: Aj Brown.

3118
02:28:47,080 --> 02:28:49,640
Speaker 4: John in South Carolina. Looking at the past four drafts,

3119
02:28:50,160 --> 02:28:52,720
Speaker 4: four years of drafts, one of the lowest success rates

3120
02:28:52,800 --> 02:28:55,280
Speaker 4: goes to drafting a tackle. Last year, there was only

3121
02:28:55,400 --> 02:28:59,680
Speaker 4: one player titled this tackle. Uh, that player ended up starting.

3122
02:29:00,600 --> 02:29:02,840
Speaker 4: I would say, if we think there is a tackle

3123
02:29:03,200 --> 02:29:06,240
Speaker 4: at four, we need to take him. Not sure after that,

3124
02:29:06,720 --> 02:29:07,800
Speaker 4: maybe an edge rusher.

3125
02:29:08,680 --> 02:29:09,520
Speaker 5: I don't understand.

3126
02:29:09,840 --> 02:29:10,600
Speaker 4: I don't either.

3127
02:29:12,040 --> 02:29:14,720
Speaker 5: Tackle has been a poor success rate. Then why would

3128
02:29:14,760 --> 02:29:16,480
Speaker 5: you say we got to take a tackle at four.

3129
02:29:17,440 --> 02:29:20,879
Speaker 4: I think he's meaning he said, of guys who were

3130
02:29:20,959 --> 02:29:23,760
Speaker 4: labeled tackle, only one ended up starting.

3131
02:29:24,360 --> 02:29:27,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't know, Like, I don't know what that is.

3132
02:29:27,160 --> 02:29:28,920
Speaker 5: I don't know what that means. But he's hit. The

3133
02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:32,040
Speaker 5: first part of his email was that tackle because this

3134
02:29:32,160 --> 02:29:34,960
Speaker 5: is what I agree with. Tackle has been sort of

3135
02:29:35,000 --> 02:29:40,920
Speaker 5: sketchy in the first round lately. And then he said,

3136
02:29:40,959 --> 02:29:42,400
Speaker 5: then you need to take because of that, you need

3137
02:29:42,480 --> 02:29:43,160
Speaker 5: to take a tackle.

3138
02:29:43,920 --> 02:29:45,840
Speaker 4: Well, he's saying, you got to take the sure thing

3139
02:29:45,920 --> 02:29:46,640
Speaker 4: up high, but.

3140
02:29:46,640 --> 02:29:47,400
Speaker 5: It's not a sure thing.

3141
02:29:47,480 --> 02:29:49,720
Speaker 10: He just sort of illustrated why it's not a sure thing,

3142
02:29:50,440 --> 02:29:50,959
Speaker 10: well more than.

3143
02:29:51,080 --> 02:29:51,680
Speaker 4: I think I think.

3144
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:55,840
Speaker 5: I think I can think of Brandon Coleman in Rosengarden

3145
02:29:55,879 --> 02:29:56,680
Speaker 5: right off the top of my head.

3146
02:29:56,680 --> 02:29:58,119
Speaker 10: Well, Joe, you're talking about.

3147
02:29:59,600 --> 02:29:59,800
Speaker 11: Yeah.

3148
02:30:00,040 --> 02:30:02,480
Speaker 4: I think his point is like, it's a crap shoot

3149
02:30:02,920 --> 02:30:05,800
Speaker 4: with tackle, so if there's a good one, you better

3150
02:30:05,879 --> 02:30:08,000
Speaker 4: take them because lower it's it's a crap shoot. But

3151
02:30:08,440 --> 02:30:10,440
Speaker 4: there's a lot of tackles in the league. They're not

3152
02:30:10,600 --> 02:30:12,600
Speaker 4: all bad, and they all weren't taken it.

3153
02:30:12,720 --> 02:30:15,160
Speaker 5: I also say, like there is no sure thing like that.

3154
02:30:15,400 --> 02:30:15,960
Speaker 10: Of course not.

3155
02:30:16,120 --> 02:30:17,960
Speaker 5: But that's the part of it that I just keep

3156
02:30:19,120 --> 02:30:21,360
Speaker 5: I think there's a there's a sort of line of

3157
02:30:21,480 --> 02:30:24,840
Speaker 5: thought that it's a safe first round pick tackle, And

3158
02:30:24,920 --> 02:30:26,680
Speaker 5: I'm just telling you the only reason why you think

3159
02:30:26,760 --> 02:30:29,320
Speaker 5: that way is because you can't evaluate that position like

3160
02:30:29,360 --> 02:30:30,000
Speaker 5: you can't others.

3161
02:30:30,800 --> 02:30:31,160
Speaker 4: I can't.

3162
02:30:31,200 --> 02:30:34,520
Speaker 5: I certainly can't Evan does, and you know Greg and

3163
02:30:34,879 --> 02:30:38,080
Speaker 5: the guys that do you know, Taylor Kyle's no. I'm

3164
02:30:38,080 --> 02:30:40,120
Speaker 5: saying all you guys tailor that do all you all

3165
02:30:40,200 --> 02:30:42,160
Speaker 5: know is no. The guys that do the all twenty two,

3166
02:30:42,280 --> 02:30:44,560
Speaker 5: they can they can maybe evaluate a little bit better

3167
02:30:44,600 --> 02:30:48,240
Speaker 5: than most. Most people do not watch those guys to

3168
02:30:48,360 --> 02:30:54,560
Speaker 5: that level that they're telling you that Kingsley Solo Sua

3169
02:30:54,640 --> 02:30:58,760
Speaker 5: Matteia is not as good as Roger Rosengarden. Most people

3170
02:30:58,800 --> 02:31:00,840
Speaker 5: were just telling you, well this I started. That guy

3171
02:31:00,920 --> 02:31:03,120
Speaker 5: started out all right, Well, one of them can't play,

3172
02:31:03,400 --> 02:31:04,880
Speaker 5: and one of them, you know, I shouldn't say you

3173
02:31:04,920 --> 02:31:06,879
Speaker 5: can't play. One of them really struggled, and the other

3174
02:31:06,920 --> 02:31:09,280
Speaker 5: one has been pretty serviceable. He had a great night

3175
02:31:09,320 --> 02:31:13,520
Speaker 5: the other night on TJ Watt. You know, yeh. Whereas

3176
02:31:13,560 --> 02:31:16,840
Speaker 5: it's very easy to see a wide receiver who catches

3177
02:31:17,360 --> 02:31:19,760
Speaker 5: nine passes or in the case of our second round pick,

3178
02:31:19,800 --> 02:31:22,000
Speaker 5: twelve passes and say he didn't have a good year,

3179
02:31:23,200 --> 02:31:25,920
Speaker 5: it's right there for everybody to see. That's what makes

3180
02:31:26,320 --> 02:31:30,440
Speaker 5: like tackle safer than wide receiver. All the offensive line,

3181
02:31:30,600 --> 02:31:34,199
Speaker 5: not the ability, not their ability. There's plenty of misses

3182
02:31:34,640 --> 02:31:37,320
Speaker 5: in the first round with tackle over the years. The

3183
02:31:37,360 --> 02:31:38,480
Speaker 5: email is exactly right.

3184
02:31:38,640 --> 02:31:38,840
Speaker 8: Yeah.

3185
02:31:39,480 --> 02:31:41,879
Speaker 10: That was the most encouraging part though for me from

3186
02:31:41,920 --> 02:31:46,800
Speaker 10: the press conference was his just saying that it's critical

3187
02:31:46,879 --> 02:31:49,600
Speaker 10: to get the trenches right here, and to get especially

3188
02:31:49,760 --> 02:31:53,000
Speaker 10: not just the trenches in terms of physicality and finished

3189
02:31:53,040 --> 02:31:58,000
Speaker 10: but pass protection. He specifically talked about protecting the quarterback.

3190
02:31:57,600 --> 02:32:00,800
Speaker 4: And he talked about like getting involved with offensive line coaching.

3191
02:32:00,959 --> 02:32:05,360
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, and protecting the quarterback is in disrupting the

3192
02:32:05,400 --> 02:32:08,160
Speaker 10: quarterback on the other side. And you just look at

3193
02:32:08,200 --> 02:32:10,760
Speaker 10: the statistics the Patriots thirty second in the league, and

3194
02:32:10,800 --> 02:32:13,560
Speaker 10: pass block win rate thirtieth in the league, and pressure

3195
02:32:13,640 --> 02:32:15,760
Speaker 10: rate on the other side like that, that right there

3196
02:32:15,840 --> 02:32:18,760
Speaker 10: says so much to me about why they stunk for

3197
02:32:18,879 --> 02:32:21,280
Speaker 10: two years is because they couldn't protect the quarterback and

3198
02:32:21,280 --> 02:32:23,800
Speaker 10: they couldn't get after the quarterback. And this guy's coming

3199
02:32:23,879 --> 02:32:25,879
Speaker 10: in and saying, you know, what's your number one off

3200
02:32:25,959 --> 02:32:28,560
Speaker 10: season need and he's saying, protecting the quarterback. And I

3201
02:32:28,600 --> 02:32:30,760
Speaker 10: think that should be music to everybody's ears.

3202
02:32:30,840 --> 02:32:30,920
Speaker 4: Now.

3203
02:32:30,959 --> 02:32:33,600
Speaker 10: How they get there is a story that we can

3204
02:32:33,640 --> 02:32:35,959
Speaker 10: talk about for the next four months, but that piece

3205
02:32:36,000 --> 02:32:37,880
Speaker 10: of it is is key and he said it right

3206
02:32:37,920 --> 02:32:38,360
Speaker 10: off the bat.

3207
02:32:38,840 --> 02:32:42,240
Speaker 4: I'm watching the Felger on TV and make just tell

3208
02:32:42,320 --> 02:32:45,440
Speaker 4: I can just tell from his body language he's figuring

3209
02:32:45,480 --> 02:32:47,400
Speaker 4: out a way to make this a bad day for

3210
02:32:47,480 --> 02:32:51,240
Speaker 4: the New Patriots, and your text chain policy shared that

3211
02:32:51,360 --> 02:32:51,600
Speaker 4: with you.

3212
02:32:52,600 --> 02:32:56,359
Speaker 5: The text chain on Mondays only when how terrible.

3213
02:32:56,120 --> 02:32:56,720
Speaker 8: This is a day?

3214
02:32:56,800 --> 02:33:00,680
Speaker 4: And the decision Ellen Wisconsin Wright saying are you worried

3215
02:33:00,760 --> 02:33:04,520
Speaker 4: at all? That through the whole press conference, Rabel didn't

3216
02:33:04,560 --> 02:33:08,360
Speaker 4: refer to Robert Kraft as Thunder even once. For real,

3217
02:33:08,400 --> 02:33:10,560
Speaker 4: though I'm excited, I was rooting for Johnson, but I

3218
02:33:10,600 --> 02:33:13,800
Speaker 4: think Rabel immediately makes the team relevant. We won't be

3219
02:33:13,879 --> 02:33:18,520
Speaker 4: wondering anymore if issues are due to talent or coaching. Well,

3220
02:33:18,600 --> 02:33:20,680
Speaker 4: let's hope. I mean, we know Rabel's a good coach,

3221
02:33:20,760 --> 02:33:22,320
Speaker 4: but he's got to fill that staff.

3222
02:33:23,360 --> 02:33:25,880
Speaker 5: Those like did statements like that, I'm like, well, how

3223
02:33:25,920 --> 02:33:26,440
Speaker 5: do we know that?

3224
02:33:26,760 --> 02:33:28,400
Speaker 10: Like you just I do?

3225
02:33:28,600 --> 02:33:29,000
Speaker 4: I do it?

3226
02:33:29,040 --> 02:33:31,160
Speaker 5: Can we let the process play out before we just

3227
02:33:31,240 --> 02:33:33,800
Speaker 5: make these declarative statements just now?

3228
02:33:33,920 --> 02:33:35,840
Speaker 6: I get them more of the parcels doesn't work that

3229
02:33:36,000 --> 02:33:37,800
Speaker 6: That to me is I didn't really put that together.

3230
02:33:37,879 --> 02:33:39,280
Speaker 6: But over the last couple of days, like I just

3231
02:33:39,320 --> 02:33:42,440
Speaker 6: see a lot of parallels from when Parcels got here, Karl,

3232
02:33:42,480 --> 02:33:44,440
Speaker 6: it wasn't as bad as it was then, and there's

3233
02:33:44,480 --> 02:33:47,920
Speaker 6: been success. But you know, just a tough coach who's established,

3234
02:33:47,959 --> 02:33:50,400
Speaker 6: who brings a little bit of you know, personality that

3235
02:33:50,480 --> 02:33:51,200
Speaker 6: we've already seen.

3236
02:33:51,280 --> 02:33:51,440
Speaker 8: You know.

3237
02:33:51,480 --> 02:33:53,680
Speaker 3: It's just it's good. That's what they need.

3238
02:33:55,480 --> 02:33:59,360
Speaker 4: Let's see. Kevin says for our schedule release video, we

3239
02:33:59,440 --> 02:34:02,440
Speaker 4: should do years in The cast list is Cliff Claven

3240
02:34:02,520 --> 02:34:07,400
Speaker 4: Is Evan norm Is, Fred Woody is Paul, Rebecca is Tamara,

3241
02:34:08,080 --> 02:34:12,920
Speaker 4: Sam is Mike Vrabel. That makes sense. Lilith is Alex Francisco,

3242
02:34:13,480 --> 02:34:18,760
Speaker 4: Fraser is Alex Barth, and coach is Matt or Hardy. Okay,

3243
02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:26,360
Speaker 4: we're already thinking about Woody. Yeah, Cliff, in a fun fact,

3244
02:34:27,720 --> 02:34:29,320
Speaker 4: if you were if you run duo.

3245
02:34:29,320 --> 02:34:35,200
Speaker 10: And power, I was really excited. He said that, well,

3246
02:34:35,200 --> 02:34:37,280
Speaker 10: we're gonna need a full back and I was like, sure,

3247
02:34:37,320 --> 02:34:37,640
Speaker 10: are Mike?

3248
02:34:37,840 --> 02:34:38,920
Speaker 3: Are we talking right now?

3249
02:34:38,959 --> 02:34:42,240
Speaker 10: Am I talking ball with the We sure are going

3250
02:34:42,320 --> 02:34:43,600
Speaker 10: to need a full back, Mike.

3251
02:34:45,840 --> 02:34:46,760
Speaker 8: You you.

3252
02:34:48,480 --> 02:34:49,240
Speaker 5: Life just ended.

3253
02:34:50,560 --> 02:34:53,520
Speaker 10: Josh is at home game no more than twenty two

3254
02:34:53,560 --> 02:34:54,240
Speaker 10: passes a game.

3255
02:34:54,480 --> 02:34:56,600
Speaker 4: A lot of people like the fact that he came

3256
02:34:56,680 --> 02:34:59,640
Speaker 4: in here busting Paul and my balls. Oh yeah, yeah,

3257
02:34:59,680 --> 02:35:00,480
Speaker 4: I'm a assuming that.

3258
02:35:00,720 --> 02:35:00,879
Speaker 8: Well.

3259
02:35:01,040 --> 02:35:01,960
Speaker 3: No, I think he got me too.

3260
02:35:02,080 --> 02:35:10,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you do not look old, you know, anywhere

3261
02:35:10,600 --> 02:35:11,360
Speaker 5: near as old as well.

3262
02:35:11,400 --> 02:35:15,480
Speaker 4: He looks like that nineteen fifty sitcom father, So very

3263
02:35:15,520 --> 02:35:18,160
Speaker 4: state down and tell us about you in the middle.

3264
02:35:18,280 --> 02:35:22,760
Speaker 4: Yeah with a pipe. Micah from South Dakota, Fred, we

3265
02:35:22,879 --> 02:35:25,600
Speaker 4: got a guy. That guy has me wanting to run

3266
02:35:25,640 --> 02:35:28,400
Speaker 4: through a brick wall for him. It's very clear that

3267
02:35:28,480 --> 02:35:31,320
Speaker 4: he has a presence about him as a leader. What

3268
02:35:31,480 --> 02:35:33,480
Speaker 4: I find awesome is that if you listen to Taylor

3269
02:35:33,560 --> 02:35:37,280
Speaker 4: Lewin and Will Compton on their podcast talk about Mike Rabel,

3270
02:35:37,320 --> 02:35:40,320
Speaker 4: they say playing for Rabel is hard but rewarding because

3271
02:35:40,320 --> 02:35:42,760
Speaker 4: they always knew if they did what they were coached

3272
02:35:42,800 --> 02:35:45,440
Speaker 4: to do, they'd have a chance to win. Rabel has

3273
02:35:45,480 --> 02:35:48,280
Speaker 4: a plan and I'm all on board with whatever he

3274
02:35:48,440 --> 02:35:50,480
Speaker 4: sees fit for this team, Go Patriots.

3275
02:35:50,600 --> 02:35:52,880
Speaker 5: One of my concerns and that's why I asked him

3276
02:35:52,879 --> 02:35:56,640
Speaker 5: the question about the players and what he's seen, and

3277
02:35:56,760 --> 02:36:00,320
Speaker 5: the difference is, Yeah, it's a hard coaching those guys.

3278
02:36:00,959 --> 02:36:04,040
Speaker 5: Taylor Luwan obviously is a guys. That's what he wanted,

3279
02:36:04,640 --> 02:36:08,039
Speaker 5: and I think most players, let's just call it eight

3280
02:36:08,160 --> 02:36:13,879
Speaker 5: years ago, probably would take to that approach. I think

3281
02:36:13,959 --> 02:36:17,320
Speaker 5: there was a concerted effort by Girod Mayo and his

3282
02:36:17,400 --> 02:36:20,120
Speaker 5: staff last year to understand that that way doesn't always

3283
02:36:20,160 --> 02:36:23,360
Speaker 5: work and they needed to change now. Is there a

3284
02:36:23,400 --> 02:36:27,560
Speaker 5: happy medium, because clearly what Gerrod Mayo did didn't work.

3285
02:36:28,240 --> 02:36:30,560
Speaker 5: And I made this comment many times. I don't think

3286
02:36:30,560 --> 02:36:35,480
Speaker 5: I'm speaking out of school. There was a comment made

3287
02:36:35,520 --> 02:36:38,200
Speaker 5: by Girod to me that he said, if you're going

3288
02:36:38,280 --> 02:36:39,760
Speaker 5: to ask him to run through a wall, you got

3289
02:36:39,840 --> 02:36:43,560
Speaker 5: to hug him first. And I always thought it's the

3290
02:36:43,640 --> 02:36:45,320
Speaker 5: other way around. You got to ask him to run

3291
02:36:45,360 --> 02:36:46,800
Speaker 5: through a wall, and then when they do it right,

3292
02:36:46,959 --> 02:36:49,480
Speaker 5: you give them the hug. And then then they'll do

3293
02:36:49,600 --> 02:36:49,960
Speaker 5: it again.

3294
02:36:50,680 --> 02:36:53,000
Speaker 4: Don't give him the reward. Don't give them the reward.

3295
02:36:52,800 --> 02:36:56,000
Speaker 5: Until they earn it. And I do feel like Rabel

3296
02:36:56,080 --> 02:36:58,440
Speaker 5: is the other way. Obviously Bill was, but I do

3297
02:36:58,560 --> 02:37:00,240
Speaker 5: think Rabel is a guy who will give you the

3298
02:37:00,320 --> 02:37:01,920
Speaker 5: hug when you earn it.

3299
02:37:02,040 --> 02:37:04,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think it's critical that he gets the

3300
02:37:04,320 --> 02:37:07,400
Speaker 4: leaders in that locker room that are his disciples, so

3301
02:37:07,560 --> 02:37:10,520
Speaker 4: that the best players of the team are doing what

3302
02:37:10,680 --> 02:37:12,560
Speaker 4: he wants, so then the other guys might.

3303
02:37:12,520 --> 02:37:14,640
Speaker 5: Be the best reason to keep David Andrews around for

3304
02:37:14,720 --> 02:37:15,119
Speaker 5: over a year.

3305
02:37:15,200 --> 02:37:16,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely, he's one.

3306
02:37:16,240 --> 02:37:16,760
Speaker 5: Of those guys.

3307
02:37:16,840 --> 02:37:19,720
Speaker 10: Absolutely white gobluh.

3308
02:37:19,879 --> 02:37:22,120
Speaker 4: Jeremiah writes in I think vrabel putting a light on

3309
02:37:22,200 --> 02:37:25,320
Speaker 4: the entitlement aspect on the team was big due to

3310
02:37:25,400 --> 02:37:28,480
Speaker 4: the disarray and player press conferences all last season. I

3311
02:37:28,600 --> 02:37:30,600
Speaker 4: hope that he instills in these players how easy it

3312
02:37:30,720 --> 02:37:32,960
Speaker 4: is to lose your job, no matter how good you

3313
02:37:33,120 --> 02:37:33,640
Speaker 4: think you are.

3314
02:37:33,920 --> 02:37:37,359
Speaker 10: Yeah, I've meant to bring that up. I thought that pointed.

3315
02:37:37,640 --> 02:37:41,160
Speaker 10: Like I thought that that was a very pointed comment,

3316
02:37:41,480 --> 02:37:44,000
Speaker 10: and not just to the players and maybe what he

3317
02:37:44,080 --> 02:37:47,240
Speaker 10: observed from the outside looking in last year. But let's

3318
02:37:47,280 --> 02:37:49,520
Speaker 10: face it, you know, there's six banners hanging up in

3319
02:37:49,600 --> 02:37:53,080
Speaker 10: the stadium, and like he said, not going to help us, right,

3320
02:37:53,160 --> 02:37:54,560
Speaker 10: it's not going to help us that we did all

3321
02:37:54,640 --> 02:37:56,280
Speaker 10: this winning twenty years ago.

3322
02:37:56,560 --> 02:37:56,720
Speaker 8: Beca.

3323
02:37:56,760 --> 02:37:58,360
Speaker 10: This is a new group, it's a it's a new

3324
02:37:58,400 --> 02:38:01,240
Speaker 10: set of players, it's a new front office, new coaching staff.

3325
02:38:01,640 --> 02:38:03,680
Speaker 10: And I thought that he felt like maybe there was

3326
02:38:03,720 --> 02:38:05,680
Speaker 10: still a little bit of that, Well, we're the Patriots,

3327
02:38:05,720 --> 02:38:07,920
Speaker 10: so we're just gonna walk off the bus and we're

3328
02:38:07,959 --> 02:38:10,360
Speaker 10: gonna win games because we're the Patriots, and you got

3329
02:38:10,480 --> 02:38:11,680
Speaker 10: to have to go through it again, and you have

3330
02:38:11,760 --> 02:38:12,920
Speaker 10: to go through the hard work again.

3331
02:38:13,080 --> 02:38:15,959
Speaker 5: That in the creating competition, you know, you talked about

3332
02:38:15,959 --> 02:38:20,320
Speaker 5: the roster, not just the starters, but creating competition. You

3333
02:38:20,400 --> 02:38:22,400
Speaker 5: know among the you know, throughout the roster.

3334
02:38:22,520 --> 02:38:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that.

3335
02:38:23,560 --> 02:38:25,440
Speaker 4: You know who was big on that, believe it or not.

3336
02:38:25,640 --> 02:38:27,959
Speaker 5: Who was big on Pete Carroll? Pete Carroll, very.

3337
02:38:28,000 --> 02:38:31,280
Speaker 4: Very big on competition, Kevin in Providence. Only time will

3338
02:38:31,320 --> 02:38:33,640
Speaker 4: tell if Rabel will work out as head coach, But

3339
02:38:33,840 --> 02:38:36,400
Speaker 4: my goodness, is it great to have a competent adult

3340
02:38:36,840 --> 02:38:39,120
Speaker 4: be the face of the franchise. If you showed one

3341
02:38:39,200 --> 02:38:42,800
Speaker 4: hundred people who know nothing about football Mayo's intro presser

3342
02:38:42,920 --> 02:38:45,240
Speaker 4: last year and the one that Rabel just did, and

3343
02:38:45,400 --> 02:38:48,200
Speaker 4: asked them which organization do you feel more confident in

3344
02:38:48,280 --> 02:38:51,560
Speaker 4: being successful? One hundred of them would save Rabel ps

3345
02:38:52,200 --> 02:38:54,400
Speaker 4: Was Rabel saying that he doesn't think may would be

3346
02:38:54,440 --> 02:38:56,880
Speaker 4: a good RPO quarterback? Or do you think he was

3347
02:38:56,959 --> 02:39:00,000
Speaker 4: just giving an example of how you choose offensive philosophy

3348
02:39:00,120 --> 02:39:00,680
Speaker 4: a sample.

3349
02:39:01,040 --> 02:39:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but that did occur to me.

3350
02:39:03,840 --> 02:39:06,560
Speaker 5: I would love to why I was thinking. That's another

3351
02:39:06,640 --> 02:39:10,600
Speaker 5: time I thought of you during the press conference. Wipe

3352
02:39:11,000 --> 02:39:12,199
Speaker 5: wipe those words out.

3353
02:39:12,040 --> 02:39:15,320
Speaker 10: Of your mind. Along with the full back. We need

3354
02:39:15,400 --> 02:39:16,560
Speaker 10: our job.

3355
02:39:16,720 --> 02:39:20,000
Speaker 5: I would like to do that experiment. Can we, like

3356
02:39:20,600 --> 02:39:24,520
Speaker 5: somehow get you know, ten people who've never seen a

3357
02:39:24,520 --> 02:39:26,959
Speaker 5: football game and show them both press conferences and ask

3358
02:39:27,040 --> 02:39:29,160
Speaker 5: them which one they would rather root for?

3359
02:39:30,160 --> 02:39:30,680
Speaker 4: Can we do that.

3360
02:39:32,160 --> 02:39:35,280
Speaker 5: Controlled experiment? It have to be people who know nothing

3361
02:39:35,320 --> 02:39:37,360
Speaker 5: about full Yeah, I know that's what's that's the hard part.

3362
02:39:38,480 --> 02:39:45,000
Speaker 4: Well, just then we'll do it with the media. I oh, snap, bom,

3363
02:39:46,720 --> 02:39:50,120
Speaker 4: just kidding everybody, just kidding. I just want that just

3364
02:39:50,280 --> 02:39:55,400
Speaker 4: for these guys the ball, uh, Fred. In addition to

3365
02:39:55,480 --> 02:39:58,480
Speaker 4: you thanking Patricia for his service to the Patriots. As

3366
02:39:58,560 --> 02:40:02,040
Speaker 4: stated by Rabel today, did he say that, I don't

3367
02:40:02,040 --> 02:40:03,840
Speaker 4: think it was so outland just for him to coach

3368
02:40:03,920 --> 02:40:06,160
Speaker 4: on the offensive side of the ball. Maybe Belichick wasn't

3369
02:40:06,160 --> 02:40:08,600
Speaker 4: crazy like much of the media set a football coach

3370
02:40:08,640 --> 02:40:11,280
Speaker 4: as a football coach. Did Rabel say something about that?

3371
02:40:11,720 --> 02:40:16,119
Speaker 5: No, and Rabel didn't. Rabel wasn't the Browns offensive coordinator

3372
02:40:16,160 --> 02:40:19,720
Speaker 5: this year, right, And it's not the same thing. No

3373
02:40:19,840 --> 02:40:20,280
Speaker 5: one was.

3374
02:40:20,480 --> 02:40:21,160
Speaker 8: I got fired.

3375
02:40:22,320 --> 02:40:23,600
Speaker 10: But yes, your points like.

3376
02:40:24,080 --> 02:40:27,120
Speaker 5: It's just not it's not it's not even worth he.

3377
02:40:27,480 --> 02:40:29,880
Speaker 10: Was what he was talking about when he when he

3378
02:40:30,440 --> 02:40:33,480
Speaker 10: brought up tight ends and offensive line. I know you

3379
02:40:33,600 --> 02:40:36,520
Speaker 10: know this, I'm just explaining, yeah, is uh. You know

3380
02:40:36,959 --> 02:40:38,960
Speaker 10: he was saying, well, if I was a defender and

3381
02:40:39,040 --> 02:40:41,520
Speaker 10: you did this, I would do that, right, and you know,

3382
02:40:41,760 --> 02:40:43,560
Speaker 10: trying to go through the cat and mouse game of

3383
02:40:43,920 --> 02:40:46,600
Speaker 10: seeing it through the prism of an out an outside

3384
02:40:46,640 --> 02:40:49,480
Speaker 10: linebacker coming off the edge as a tackle. You know,

3385
02:40:49,520 --> 02:40:51,520
Speaker 10: if you're gonna you know, hit a punch here, then

3386
02:40:51,680 --> 02:40:53,640
Speaker 10: my hands are gonna go like that, and then how's

3387
02:40:53,680 --> 02:40:55,800
Speaker 10: your counter? You know, so that that's how you can

3388
02:40:55,920 --> 02:40:58,760
Speaker 10: kind of you know what's it called, you know, cross

3389
02:40:58,879 --> 02:41:02,080
Speaker 10: train right in that respect. Right, But like we're not

3390
02:41:02,240 --> 02:41:04,600
Speaker 10: coordinating in the offense or he's not the one with

3391
02:41:04,680 --> 02:41:07,160
Speaker 10: the headset calling the place. He was just trying to

3392
02:41:07,200 --> 02:41:08,359
Speaker 10: help with some of the technics.

3393
02:41:08,680 --> 02:41:11,040
Speaker 5: No one ever suggested that Matt Patricia should never be

3394
02:41:11,120 --> 02:41:12,880
Speaker 5: allowed to coach on the other side of the ball,

3395
02:41:13,720 --> 02:41:16,200
Speaker 5: right like forever, Like he's a defensive coach and that's

3396
02:41:16,240 --> 02:41:18,080
Speaker 5: all we ever done. No, like if you wanted to

3397
02:41:18,120 --> 02:41:21,280
Speaker 5: even make him the offensive line coach coordinator, like you

3398
02:41:21,640 --> 02:41:24,640
Speaker 5: just made the guy the offensive coordinator, Like, that's not

3399
02:41:24,800 --> 02:41:28,040
Speaker 5: the same as trying to, you know, broaden your horizons.

3400
02:41:28,640 --> 02:41:32,960
Speaker 4: Connor and Gansett. With McCarthy out in Dallas, what would

3401
02:41:33,000 --> 02:41:35,600
Speaker 4: you say about the idea of Kellen Moore for oc.

3402
02:41:35,600 --> 02:41:40,560
Speaker 5: Bill Belichick is in Philadelphia? Yeah, what he's saying as

3403
02:41:40,800 --> 02:41:42,080
Speaker 5: the Cowboys head coach?

3404
02:41:42,120 --> 02:41:44,880
Speaker 4: I think No, he's talking about bringing him here.

3405
02:41:45,000 --> 02:41:47,200
Speaker 5: So he got it as an offensive coordinator.

3406
02:41:47,320 --> 02:41:48,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, no Kellen Moore?

3407
02:41:48,760 --> 02:41:52,680
Speaker 5: No, what is that? I don't understand what Mike McCarthy's.

3408
02:41:52,400 --> 02:41:52,959
Speaker 3: He thought.

3409
02:41:54,720 --> 02:41:57,600
Speaker 10: Kellm more was in Dallas. He got confused.

3410
02:41:57,640 --> 02:42:01,240
Speaker 5: Okay, I thought he was suggesting Keellen Moore is as

3411
02:42:01,280 --> 02:42:02,760
Speaker 5: the McCarthy successor.

3412
02:42:02,959 --> 02:42:05,039
Speaker 10: Possible, definitely possible.

3413
02:42:05,120 --> 02:42:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that seems that makes sense.

3414
02:42:08,560 --> 02:42:12,720
Speaker 4: Eric and Idaho, Eric and Idaho. As many other Patriots fans,

3415
02:42:12,800 --> 02:42:15,560
Speaker 4: I was okay with either Rabel or Johnson as the

3416
02:42:15,600 --> 02:42:18,920
Speaker 4: next head coach. However, I'm pretty surprised at how polarized

3417
02:42:18,920 --> 02:42:21,200
Speaker 4: people are about the decision. As long as we have

3418
02:42:21,280 --> 02:42:24,280
Speaker 4: an above average coaching, Drake may is the reason we

3419
02:42:24,360 --> 02:42:27,200
Speaker 4: will either be a contender or not. A great quarterback

3420
02:42:27,360 --> 02:42:31,160
Speaker 4: means much more than the head coach. Lastly, would Evan

3421
02:42:31,320 --> 02:42:33,959
Speaker 4: feel better about Rabel higher if he started wearing tight

3422
02:42:34,080 --> 02:42:35,039
Speaker 4: pants is.

3423
02:42:35,800 --> 02:42:36,959
Speaker 5: A polarizing choice.

3424
02:42:37,040 --> 02:42:37,440
Speaker 3: I don't think.

3425
02:42:37,480 --> 02:42:39,680
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I think most people like I

3426
02:42:39,879 --> 02:42:41,560
Speaker 4: kind of wanted Johnson, but I'm okay with this.

3427
02:42:42,240 --> 02:42:43,560
Speaker 5: That's I think most people like.

3428
02:42:43,680 --> 02:42:48,760
Speaker 4: I mean, of the people who wanted Johnson, most of

3429
02:42:48,840 --> 02:42:50,920
Speaker 4: them were saying, I'm fine with this. Yeah, it was.

3430
02:42:51,040 --> 02:42:59,400
Speaker 10: There was Patriots Twitter, which admittedly Patriots Twitter pants off admittedly,

3431
02:43:00,200 --> 02:43:02,480
Speaker 10: you know, excuse a little bit younger at times. Was

3432
02:43:02,560 --> 02:43:07,279
Speaker 10: definitely with the let's hire the rising star offensive coordinator

3433
02:43:07,360 --> 02:43:09,280
Speaker 10: to give him to Drake May and have that whole thing.

3434
02:43:09,480 --> 02:43:13,360
Speaker 10: And I'm still there, like, I still have concerns about

3435
02:43:13,640 --> 02:43:15,920
Speaker 10: how it works with Drake May and the offense and

3436
02:43:15,959 --> 02:43:18,000
Speaker 10: all that kind of stuff. But I think, you know,

3437
02:43:18,120 --> 02:43:21,560
Speaker 10: he kind of the comment that he made about helping

3438
02:43:21,680 --> 02:43:25,520
Speaker 10: Drake May manage the game and the situational awareness and

3439
02:43:25,879 --> 02:43:29,000
Speaker 10: that whole aspect I thought was was soothing to me.

3440
02:43:29,200 --> 02:43:32,000
Speaker 10: I was like, Okay, like he's gonna. I understand where

3441
02:43:32,000 --> 02:43:34,000
Speaker 10: he's coming from because he was a really good at

3442
02:43:34,080 --> 02:43:36,920
Speaker 10: that in Tennessee as a head coach of this is

3443
02:43:36,959 --> 02:43:40,360
Speaker 10: the situation, you know, we were, this is the score.

3444
02:43:40,600 --> 02:43:43,800
Speaker 10: You know, we need to We're in the four minute offense, like,

3445
02:43:43,879 --> 02:43:44,960
Speaker 10: this is what we need you to do.

3446
02:43:45,200 --> 02:43:49,040
Speaker 5: Identified the goal, right, you know, of the situation, whatever,

3447
02:43:49,080 --> 02:43:52,240
Speaker 5: you know, it's four minute, whatever it is, identified the goal.

3448
02:43:52,360 --> 02:43:54,120
Speaker 5: This is the best way to get there, right.

3449
02:43:54,240 --> 02:43:57,720
Speaker 10: And I feel like that element of it is sort

3450
02:43:57,720 --> 02:43:59,959
Speaker 10: of the final hurdle for Drake to start winning game

3451
02:44:00,240 --> 02:44:02,160
Speaker 10: in the league. Not just starting to look good in games,

3452
02:44:02,240 --> 02:44:04,800
Speaker 10: because he's already doing that, but to actually win games

3453
02:44:05,200 --> 02:44:07,400
Speaker 10: in the league. It's the little things that you know,

3454
02:44:07,680 --> 02:44:09,880
Speaker 10: they were able to do with Brady for so many years,

3455
02:44:09,879 --> 02:44:12,960
Speaker 10: where they were just better in that situational element. I

3456
02:44:13,000 --> 02:44:16,080
Speaker 10: think Jaden Daniels is really good in those situational elements

3457
02:44:16,120 --> 02:44:19,640
Speaker 10: and late in games and fourth quarters and close games late,

3458
02:44:19,840 --> 02:44:22,560
Speaker 10: like you know, his numbers are unreal in those situations

3459
02:44:23,080 --> 02:44:25,160
Speaker 10: this year. And that's that's why they flipped it around

3460
02:44:25,200 --> 02:44:25,880
Speaker 10: there in Washington.

3461
02:44:26,800 --> 02:44:28,600
Speaker 4: A lot a couple of people are saying the Patriots

3462
02:44:28,640 --> 02:44:31,560
Speaker 4: are stuck in the past with this higher Do you agree?

3463
02:44:32,680 --> 02:44:33,640
Speaker 3: No, could be.

3464
02:44:35,480 --> 02:44:38,080
Speaker 5: I think that's the part of me that was sort

3465
02:44:38,120 --> 02:44:43,200
Speaker 5: of questioning why they didn't talk to more people was that, Yep,

3466
02:44:43,400 --> 02:44:45,880
Speaker 5: they they looked like they were sort of stuck on

3467
02:44:46,040 --> 02:44:49,720
Speaker 5: some something that they knew again. I don't think there's

3468
02:44:49,760 --> 02:44:52,320
Speaker 5: anything wrong with Mike Rabel. You guys see how much

3469
02:44:52,360 --> 02:44:55,400
Speaker 5: I like him? Yeah, I mean when he came in here,

3470
02:44:55,480 --> 02:44:58,520
Speaker 5: you could see that. I genuinely like Mike Rabel. Yeah,

3471
02:44:58,840 --> 02:45:01,960
Speaker 5: so I have no problem with the higher But I

3472
02:45:02,080 --> 02:45:04,880
Speaker 5: do understand why some people would say just stuck in

3473
02:45:04,959 --> 02:45:05,320
Speaker 5: the past.

3474
02:45:05,720 --> 02:45:08,320
Speaker 4: Ivon in Toronto. How do you see Mike Rabel's culture

3475
02:45:08,400 --> 02:45:10,760
Speaker 4: resonate in the locker room this year? Some players seem

3476
02:45:10,840 --> 02:45:14,480
Speaker 4: to accept substandard plays and attitudes. Deuce would mention guys

3477
02:45:14,520 --> 02:45:16,600
Speaker 4: saying my bad and kind of laugh it off. Some

3478
02:45:16,760 --> 02:45:19,720
Speaker 4: players missing curfew, et cetera. Do you see him cutting

3479
02:45:19,760 --> 02:45:23,120
Speaker 4: players who won't measure up to his standards. This younger

3480
02:45:23,160 --> 02:45:26,000
Speaker 4: generation may not appeal to the toughness and discipline of

3481
02:45:26,080 --> 02:45:28,720
Speaker 4: the new hook coach. I certainly hope to see personal

3482
02:45:28,760 --> 02:45:32,160
Speaker 4: accountability and self discipline the team's foundation. No more walk

3483
02:45:32,200 --> 02:45:34,879
Speaker 4: it back. Mondays would love to know your thoughts.

3484
02:45:35,959 --> 02:45:38,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I like, I just struggle with like you know,

3485
02:45:39,240 --> 02:45:41,760
Speaker 6: the too many players are soft now and you can't

3486
02:45:41,800 --> 02:45:43,520
Speaker 6: be hard on them and they just want to have fun.

3487
02:45:43,560 --> 02:45:45,160
Speaker 3: Like I just I don't buy into that.

3488
02:45:45,280 --> 02:45:47,480
Speaker 6: I think you can hold guys accountable and be tough

3489
02:45:47,560 --> 02:45:50,040
Speaker 6: on them without being a giant a hole who just

3490
02:45:50,080 --> 02:45:52,160
Speaker 6: seems like you're disconnected and you're just forcing them to

3491
02:45:52,200 --> 02:45:53,959
Speaker 6: do stuff that they don't understand.

3492
02:45:54,000 --> 02:45:54,160
Speaker 1: Why.

3493
02:45:54,240 --> 02:45:56,000
Speaker 6: I just there's ways to do it now. But I

3494
02:45:56,120 --> 02:45:59,800
Speaker 6: just I refuse to believe that hard coaching can't exist anymore.

3495
02:45:59,840 --> 02:46:00,960
Speaker 3: I just I don't believe it.

3496
02:46:01,920 --> 02:46:06,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, I also I do wonder about some of the

3497
02:46:06,200 --> 02:46:09,400
Speaker 10: guys last year that weren't exactly sending the best messages

3498
02:46:09,440 --> 02:46:12,280
Speaker 10: and weren't exactly going about things the best way. How

3499
02:46:12,360 --> 02:46:14,880
Speaker 10: many of those guys are going to be on this

3500
02:46:15,040 --> 02:46:16,720
Speaker 10: team next year. I do wonder about that.

3501
02:46:16,800 --> 02:46:18,080
Speaker 6: I mean, I wonder about how many of those guys

3502
02:46:18,080 --> 02:46:19,800
Speaker 6: are gonna be good on the stand up in front

3503
02:46:19,800 --> 02:46:23,040
Speaker 6: of everybody, and Hey, Kendrick Bourne, what's your depth here?

3504
02:46:23,080 --> 02:46:24,800
Speaker 3: On this third and twelve? Ten?

3505
02:46:25,600 --> 02:46:28,280
Speaker 10: No, twelve? I do think this is going to be

3506
02:46:28,320 --> 02:46:29,320
Speaker 10: it that needs to be done.

3507
02:46:29,440 --> 02:46:33,560
Speaker 5: So you're yeah, there's a chance that there's some guys

3508
02:46:33,640 --> 02:46:35,959
Speaker 5: that you that not a lot of people are expecting

3509
02:46:36,040 --> 02:46:37,120
Speaker 5: to be gone, that will be gone.

3510
02:46:37,280 --> 02:46:37,640
Speaker 10: Agreed.

3511
02:46:38,080 --> 02:46:40,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, We'll do a couple more calls and then we'll
