Uh, 54 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 5: did you see an improvement when it came to your 55 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 5: running game? And how did that how did that build 56 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 5: upon the past couple of games? 57 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, there were some things that were better in the 58 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: running game, for sure, let me just better offensively bad 59 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: two long drives, I mean three, I don't know, like 60 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: three drives over seventy yards at a seventy yard touchdown 61 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: call back, So there were you know, so there were 62 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: some positive moments there, but not enough of them. 63 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: Bill. 64 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 4: When you look at the team and the situation you're in, 65 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 4: how important is it for you? And how I guess 66 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 4: the question is is how do you go about making 67 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 4: sure guys don't get to a position where they their 68 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 4: body language or just mentally they kind of start to 69 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 4: check out a little bit because they feel like there 70 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 4: might be no light at the end the tunnel. How 71 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 4: do you make sure as a coach that you don't 72 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 4: let that creep into your Lockerom. 73 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: Well, we would have had every opportunity to do that 74 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: this week after the last two weeks. I thought that 75 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: the team, you know, had had a decent week of practice, 76 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: worked hard, competed hard. In the game, we just didn't 77 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: make enough plays to win. And we got up coach 78 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: and play better, keep working harder to you know, make 79 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: those plays, execute him in practice, execue him in the game, 80 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: and and well have got a results. 81 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,119 Speaker 2: I think I think it was two thousand and nine 82 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: when you've famously said to Tom Brady, and I'm paraphrasing 83 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: here that you couldn't get through to those guys. Do 84 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 2: you feel like you're able to get through to these 85 00:04:50,200 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 2: guys to this team with your message. 86 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: That was a long time ago, two different teams. I'll 87 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: really see it the same. 88 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 5: Does it feel like in the locker room that the 89 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 5: guys still have confidence within each other? We talk about 90 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 5: it a lot with Wiggy when it comes to defense 91 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 5: and offense, and sometimes the defense feels like they could 92 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 5: be putting in more work than the offense or vice versa. 93 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 5: How do you make sure that they continue to have 94 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 5: confidence within each other and kind of drown out the 95 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 5: outside noise. 96 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, there's no shortcut to it. Like I said, 97 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: we just we all have to we all have to 98 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: do it and and if we do then then we'll 99 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: have better results. And we saw some like I said, 100 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: we saw some improvement this week, but still a lot 101 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: more we need to do and then that's what we 102 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: keep working on. 103 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 2: This week's Diesel Direct Player of the Game is Kendrick Warren. 104 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: A little bit about what he brought you yesterday, Bill. 105 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Davie, he's done done a good job for us 106 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: all here, not just yesterday, but you know, getting open 107 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: and with a ball in his hands after the catch. 108 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: You know, he showed some good run skills and uh 109 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: fall security has done much better this year. You know, 110 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: He's he's worked hard all year from the spring through 111 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: training camp and it was putting together for about the season. 112 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 2: Time for the Coach's Verdict, which is presented every week 113 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: by Catches Law Group, New England's injury pros at Catcheslaw 114 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: dot Com. Catches is proud to be the official law 115 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,239 Speaker 2: firm of the New England Patriots Bill. 116 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 6: We're now in the fourth season since the separation from 117 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 6: Tom Brady, and I'm just curious if you think it's 118 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 6: time to reevaluate your offensive roster building approach in the 119 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 6: absence of a historically great quarterback. 120 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: Well, so it's always been to do it best for 121 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: the team and to build around whoever the quarterback is. 122 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: We've had multiple quarterbacks. Even though Tom was the quarterback 123 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: within there were years when you know he wasn't either 124 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: for a period of time or uh, you know, there 125 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: are a couple of different situations. We know those work. 126 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, it all starts with a quarterback on offense 127 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: and building around him, whoever that is. But I think 128 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: I always got to try to put the best best 129 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: team together you can, and I mean that's what we'll 130 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: continue to do so, especially the results arms want, but 131 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna keep looking at it. 132 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 3: Bill. 133 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 4: When you look at your team, I always talk about 134 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 4: I remember when when I was playing, one of the 135 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 4: guys in the locker room that you know, was a 136 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 4: major leader for us and kind of had that message 137 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 4: of of you know, living in the moment, one play 138 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 4: at a time, kind of keeping us all in check 139 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 4: was a guy like Willie McGinnis, Willy Mack. When you 140 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 4: look at the team, do you feel like that you 141 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 4: have that guy in the locker room that has this 142 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 4: ability to be respected, but also at times you can 143 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 4: look at him and you could be you know, you're 144 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 4: feared by this player because of the way he carries 145 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 4: himself and the way he works. Do you feel like 146 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 4: there's a player in that locker room that can you know, 147 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 4: carry that same type of. 148 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: Kind of like Jenne a quah. 149 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: What with a little French the French. 150 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 151 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: As you know, when every player is different, and every 152 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: player's personality is different, players have different you know, ways 153 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: of message, message in and and and and having leadership 154 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: and and and certainly a different leadership styles and many 155 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: different ones are can be effective. I think we have some. 156 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: I've had some great leaders in our locker room, you know, 157 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: like mccordy and Willie and Ruski and Slater, Brian Cox 158 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: when you played you know they're but they all have 159 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: different styles. So I think you can be effective in 160 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: your own if you're yourself, you're sincere, you're your own personality. Uh. 161 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: I think that's more effective than trying to be somebody else. 162 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: So I think we have good leadership in our in 163 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: our on our team and in the locker room. In 164 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: the end, we just really have to just find a 165 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: way to play better and make the place we need 166 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: to make, you know, in critical situations in the game. 167 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: And that's that's been three games this year where we 168 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: just haven't been able to do that. So well, like 169 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: I said, we'll just have to keep working hard. 170 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 2: Bill, You've been doing this for a long time.

I'm wondering if 173 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: you could give him any advice. 174 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: Well, I'll take advice from him. 175 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 3: Bill. Like you, there is a few mistakes here and there. 176 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 4: If we just execute, our record would be different. So 177 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 4: I understand completely what you're saying about the execution. 178 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: Well, we just you know, again, each week's different, different 179 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: opponent and different things that they do and different matchups 180 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: and all that, so it changes every week. It's not 181 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: just the same thing. It's being able to execute it 182 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: against the matchup that you have, that situations that come up, 183 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: and that's what we prepare for and that's what we're 184 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: going to continue to do and try to keep doing 185 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: it better. 186 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 2: Till Kayshawan Boody a healthy scratch for the fifth week 187 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: in a row. What's what's going on with him? 188 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, we can't activate everybody. 189 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 5: So Bill, as you turn the page to the Bills 190 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 5: across the board, a good team, they're coming off a 191 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 5: tough a tough win for them. What's their biggest threat, uh, 192 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 5: that you guys have to face. 193 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: Well, I mean they're a good team that won the 194 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: division here. They're pretty pretty good at everything. So take 195 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: a good solid, you know, team performance, team effort. And 196 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: they're like I said, they're they're strong in every area, 197 00:11:52,960 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: well coached. I can great quarterback Seawan's taking over the 198 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: defense and you know they're they create a lot and 199 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: they gotta plays on defense, so you know, strong the 200 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: kicking game.
