1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Hey, Todd, how are you today, gad are you doing

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: doing well? We were curious what Sam was able to

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: do in practice today and sort of how he responded

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: to being out on the field. He did not practice

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: for day, and how's he looking at this point? For

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: being available to you on Sunday, still possible, we'll know

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: more about Fannie, Todd. What have you seen watching Lawrence

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: Guy on film? I think he doesn't outstanding man. He's big,

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: he's strong, he's tough, and you know he makes plays.

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: I think what they do with him in that scheme

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: is outstanding. But I think all of them up there

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: do a good job. Todd. What is Jamal Adams meant

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: for your defense? Some type of growth have you seen

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: from him while he's becoming a pro in the second

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: year with his eyes from film study, just understanding how

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: people are attacking them, the things he has to do,

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: and his wreaths are a lot quicker than will he

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: should be in the second year, and you know, he

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 1: just keeps working, that's trying to get better each day.

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: And you really like that about a lot of it

21
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: has been made around here, at least about some of

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: the inconsistencies with the Patriots offense. Is this still the

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: same Patriots offense that you've been seeing for years saying people,

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: same offense we've saying for years. We really trying to

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: where about our own offense at this point in time.

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: And you know, we know they have great players and

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: we know they can turn the switch and play great football,

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: and that's what we'd expect them. What are your thoughts

29
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: on Josh Gordon and how he's fitting him with the Patriots.

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Always been an outstanding receiver, a lot of respect for

31
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: the guy of the player and the person, and he

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: makes some big plays for them all the time. But

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: they have a slow weapon and they can go to

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: any one of them. What has been your experience with

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald like this year just from getting to know

36
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: him and made to where he's progressed you now, it's

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: been great getting to know him, just watch him grow

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: as a person and a player. The reads where he

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: was planning to read to slow down for him. He's

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: on that a huddle, he was in command of a

41
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,639
Speaker 1: lot of things. Obviously, he still needs to see something

42
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: that has the ways to go to get better from

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: that stamp plant. But as a person off the field,

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: he's been outstanding, great sense of humor, a great study

45
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: had as great work ethic, doesn't expect anything where it's

46
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: everything he gets and you know you can appreciate that

47
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: as a coach. Even though the numbers haven't really been

48
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: there for Rob Groundkowski this season, do you still have

49
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: to treat him as kind of a game breaking talent

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: when you prepare for the Pats. He'll be a game

51
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: breaking talent until he retires. That's the only time you

52
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about him. So, like I said,

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: between Gronk and Edelman and Gordon and White and Michelle

54
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: and they have you on doorset and they still have

55
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: them all. They still have a whole bunch of guys

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: that you got to defend. You know that that's that's

57
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: no disrespect to any of them. They have a bunch

58
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: of guys you have to defend, and they run a

59
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: great game and that's not even mentioned in the quarterback

60
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: It was probably better than everybody, you know. And they've

61
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: still got Hogan as well, so you know it would

62
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: be tough. It would be tough match up. You've been,

63
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, in and out of the AFC East in

64
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: your career, maybe thinking back to when you were with Miami.

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: How much has this offensive scheme changed or stayed similar

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: over time? Maybe rule changes or personnel have dictated to

67
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: you adjusted well. They've been a great job of bringing

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: in guys to fit their system. Obviously, there's been some

69
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: tweaks over the years, and they got their basic plays,

70
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: but then they have plays that are wrinkles that I

71
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: knew all the time when I go to credit the

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: coach Belitic and his staff as well as Brady. So

73
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: you just have to play them, and you got to execute.

74
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: They make you execute and test all your rules and

75
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: your discipline at all times, so you really have to

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: be sharp trying to play them. Because how big of

77
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: an influence has Luke been on Sam this year? Has

78
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: who Ben? Josh? The Jazz has been great because he

79
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: can tell them things sometimes from a player standpoint, the

80
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: coaches can tell him as well, but when you have

81
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: another guy, another player tell you as well, and you

82
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: can see the game like he sees the game and

83
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: vice versa, it really helps out a lot. Josh. There

84
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: are some people down on the Patriots defense after the

85
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee game, But having looked at it holistically, what are

86
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: you kind of see out of the defense right now,

87
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: and what kind of can what's the biggest challenge of

88
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: facing the Patriots defense? Would you say they've been playing

89
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: great football. I understand they lost the last games. That

90
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: was characteristic of how they play, and I know they'll

91
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: bounced back. They're very solid up front. They played great

92
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: man and man covers. They got very good covered safeties

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: that are very intelligent, and you know, they play very

94
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: smart football. So and I got linebackers I can cover

95
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: and blitz as well. So I expect him to play

96
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: normal Patriots football and it's gonna be a battle. Is

97
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's arm as physically strong as ever? It'll be

98
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: as strong as ever until he retires. He said that

99
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: Rob BrownHouse is going to remain a game breaking talent.

100
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: As someone who's gone up against him over the years,

101
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: what challenges does he present for a defense? No, he

102
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: can block. He can beat corner safety, then linebacker, so

103
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who he goes against. He's just a

104
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 1: well rounded player. You know, he's a very intelligent player.

105
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if he gets enough credit for being

106
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: a smart player, but he's a very intelligent player. He

107
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: understands us trying to be done to him, and you

108
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: know he makes adjustments and tweaks, so it makes him

109
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: a tough cover. Just with the way your team was playing.

110
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: How beneficial was the buy for you guys? It was good.

111
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: We got some guys back that were banged up. But

112
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: you know it happened late in the week, but you

113
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: know everybody in the AFC he's had a buy, so

114
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: came at a good time. And you know it's always

115
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: good to step back instead he is and then try

116
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: to go from there. All right, Coach, I think we're

117
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: all set. We appreciate you taking the time and have

118
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: a great Thanksgiving. Thank you, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy thank you.
