1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: Bill, Sorry about that.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 2: How you doing good? I was just getting my stuff together.

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 2: So thinking back to Friday, we catch after the game,

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: so we're sort of coming back around. It's a quick turnaround.

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: So chiefs like, what what type of challenges do they present?

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they they present a lot of challenges. You know,

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: SPAGS does a great job. They have really good scheme.

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 3: It's a very versatile scheme. It's different personnel groupings, you know,

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: they they do a lot of different things schematically out

10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: of those personnel groupings, and they have really good players

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 3: at all three levels. You know, obviously on the defensive

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: line with Chris Jones, you know, awesome, awesome player, getting

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: getting bolting back, you know, obviously really helps them. And

14
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: then you know, I'm very familiar with you know, Justin Reid.

15
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: We had him, we drafted him in Houston. So and

16
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: then there's a lot of other players too, So so

17
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: you know, I just think they're they're they're smart. They

18
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 3: do a lot of different things, and they present a

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: lot of challenges. So we have to have a really

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 3: good week of practice and really good week of preparation,

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: and then we have to be ready to adjust during

22
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: the game for what what the game will be.

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 4: Next question Chris Ryan, followed by Emon Lazar.

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: Hey, Bill Hope all as well with you.

25
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 5: I wanted to ask about the conviction. It seems like

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 5: Bailey plays with and you know, how big of a

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 5: deal is that when when a quarterback just seems to

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 5: have confidence in in what he's doing and even if

29
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 5: he makes a mistake, is it better to do stuff

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 5: with conviction as opposed to, you know, being a little

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 5: bit undecided about where he wants to go with the ball,

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 5: et cetera.

33
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: It's probably It's probably a good question for Bailey himself

34
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: just from what I What I observe though, is that

35
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: you know, he's prepared, and you know, he plays the

36
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: game one play at a time. In some ways he

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: has a good memory of something that happened earlier in

38
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: the game, but other other ways he has a short memory.

39
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 3: You know, he's able to to you know, play the

40
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: next play and and uh and you know, look, I

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: think at the end of the days, a young player,

42
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: he's he's he's very grateful for the opportunity that he

43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: has and he's going to go out there and and

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 3: try to do what's best for the team. I think

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: that's what what what Bailey does. So you know, we

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: have to have a good week here and see how

47
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: it goes. But uh, he did a good job of that.

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: On on Thursday night, beg you thank.

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 4: You, Evan Mazarfo by Nicomelli.

50
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 6: Hey, coach, how you doing?

51
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: Hey?

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 6: Heavan just watching the game back. You know, I thought

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 6: there was a couple of instances where you know, Bailey

54
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 6: was changing plays at the line of scrimmage and it

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 6: seemed to be successful for you guys to know, he

56
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 6: said that he alerted to the Juju play on the

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 6: opening drive. Things like that. Is that, you know, more

58
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 6: like game plan week to week. How much you put

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 6: on his play to do that or him grasping the

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 6: offense Like, how would you say that, you know he's

61
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 6: gotten to that point to be able to have the

62
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 6: controls there.

63
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would just say like in this day and

64
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: age of football with offenses and then obviously defense is

65
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: being so multiple that you know, it's just difficult to

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 3: go to the line of scrimmage and just have one

67
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: play and expect that play to be good against you know,

68
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: whatever you're going to see defensively, it happens at times

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: you know where you have Hey, this is the player

70
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: we're running. This is how we're going to run it,

71
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: no matter what they do. But most of the time,

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: you know, with really with all offenses, you have to

73
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: make a choice at the line of scrimmage. And you

74
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: know that's kind of what our system is built on

75
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: in a lot of ways. And so you know, Bailey, Yeah,

76
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: Bailey did do a good job at the line of

77
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: scrimmage last week. And you know, all of our quarterbacks

78
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: have to that's part of what we do. They have

79
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: to do really good job. But that that comes with preparation.

80
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you, Niico Melly, followed by Mike Pierti.

81
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 7: Hi, Bill, you mentioned earlier the Chiefs having some questions,

82
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 7: you know, of who they're going to have available when

83
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 7: they come to Foxboro over the weekend, and from what

84
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 7: we've seen over the season, they present a particular challenge

85
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 7: for teams logistically, especially on road games. I want to

86
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 7: ask you if you and the Patriots organization in general

87
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 7: had a plan in place if Taylor Swift is going

88
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 7: to be at the game on Sunday.

89
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't even know how to

90
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: answer that. It is.

91
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 8: It's uh, yeah, we're like, you know, look, I'll follow

92
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 8: Bill's lead on that. We're very focused on the Chiefs.

93
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 8: Trying to game plan for their defense is hard enough

94
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 8: as it is not really focused on Taylor Swift. But

95
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 8: but yeah, no, it's.

96
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to answer that question. I'm

97
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: very uncomfortab Right now, we're.

98
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 4: Going to Mike Arts that car.

99
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 9: I'm not going to ask you about Taylor Swift, Bill,

100
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 9: but I'm going to ask you if I got you

101
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 9: at Trinity College football or baseball hack, can we swap

102
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 9: out the tough jumbo one.

103
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you this, No, my answer would be no.

104
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: But my one of my good friends is the is

105
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: the is the head coach at Trinity, Jeff Devaney, and

106
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: we ga together at Georgia Tech.

107
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: So shout out to Trinity. But I wouldn't be able

108
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: to do that.

109
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 3: I would never be allowed on the Toughs campus again

110
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 3: if I wore a Trinity hat.

111
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Jeff.

112
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 9: Jeff was my teammate at Trinity.

113
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's a good guy. He's a terrific player.

114
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 9: And a great I wanted to ask you what you've

115
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 9: learned about Gerrod Mayo just from being in the building

116
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 9: with him kind of coaching with him. I know he's

117
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 9: on the defensive side of the ball. But just to

118
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 9: sort of your interactions with with Girod.

119
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Grodd is you know, a really good coach. Uh,

120
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: great with the players.

121
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: You know, he played in this system, so he's he's

122
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: got really institution knowledge.

123
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: You know, this is where he's been, and you know

124
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: he has.

125
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: A very you know, strong feeling about the Patriots, the

126
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: Patriots organization and a good staff guy. You know, got

127
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: a good sense of humor, knows how to keep it

128
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: light and and does a good job coaching. So yeah, my, my,

129
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: My interactions with Gerond are good. We don't like when

130
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: you're on offensive defense. You're kind of in separate worlds

131
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: during the day and then you come together at practice or.

132
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: Maybe in a team meeting.

133
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: But but yeah, no, it's it's been good to work

134
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: the whole staff's good bunch of guys. Good bunch of

135
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: guys on the staff.

136
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike, Yep, thank.

137
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 4: You, Zach Cox fallow out here, Kyle.

138
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: Morning Bill.

139
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 10: Just curious, how how do things change for you as

140
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 10: a staff when you have a situation like you guys

141
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 10: have with Ross where an assistant leaves in the middle

142
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 10: of the season.

143
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: And you have to kind of rearrange things around that.

144
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's certain things that you have to do that

145
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 3: that Ross had rep ponssibility for, whether it was coaching

146
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: or Scotter report things or whatever it is. But you know,

147
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: Troy's here, so there were really two guys coach in

148
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: that position. Uh, you know, Troy does a lot for us,

149
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: and so we'll be able to pick up the slack

150
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: there will long Billy Yates, Vinnie Cinceri, Evan Rothstein. You know,

151
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 3: you know, we all we all kind of chip in

152
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: and everybody has a little part and role in everything

153
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: that we do. We we work pretty well together and

154
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: uh so we'll just pick up the slack as we

155
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: move forward. But congratulations to Ross and I'm sure I'll

156
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: do a great job at Syracuse.

157
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: Awesome, thank you well.

158
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: The two final questions Tata Kyles uh and uh all right,

159
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: Terr Kyles and Michael Hurley. I couldn't see the last name. Hi, coach, I.

160
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your time.

161
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 10: So I noticed in the past couple of weeks it

162
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 10: seems like defense, especially when it comes to the run

163
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 10: or playing, you guys really aggressive with and stunts and

164
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 10: things like that. And it seems like Backs have had

165
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 10: to make a lot of guys miss act sometimes behind

166
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 10: the line of scrimmage. I was wondering, am I seeing

167
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 10: that the right way? And if so, you know, how

168
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 10: much of that is impacted by unfortunately Adrian Clem not

169
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 10: being around, and how much is it is just guys

170
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 10: you know, need to keep their eyes up, like I've

171
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 10: heard people mention a lot, and just having to be

172
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 10: on the same page when it comes to picking those

173
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 10: things up.

174
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, some of the that did happen a couple of

175
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: times in the Pittsburgh game, and I think we adjusted

176
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: that pretty well as the game went on and we

177
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: were able to you know, pick that up. That was

178
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: one of one of their answers to our run game.

179
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: We've been able to run the ball pretty effectively the

180
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: last three or four games, so sometimes the answer is

181
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 3: to hit us with you know pressure, and you know,

182
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: in the beginning of the game, they got us on

183
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: the first play of the game, and I think moving forward,

184
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: we did a better job of adjusting. And so you know,

185
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 3: that's that's something that we have to do and be

186
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: ready for. You know, the Chiefs do a lot of blitzing,

187
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 3: so we're gonna have to be ready for that with

188
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: the Chiefs, and you know, that's just that's part of

189
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: where we are right now and how we have to

190
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 3: game plan and be ready for that that type of pressure.

191
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 4: Thank you.

192
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: Mmm.

193
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 9: And last question Michael Hurley, Hey Bill, just a simple,

194
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 9: straightforward one for me.

195
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: Did something you see something click with Juju last week?

196
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 6: Because obviously his most productive game and is there something

197
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 6: that might a click that could help going forward?

198
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: Juju played really well.

199
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: I mean he I don't know, I think that's maybe

200
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: a better, you know question for him.

201
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: But he played well.

202
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 3: He made some really really tough catches, you know, two

203
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: that I can really remember that. You know, he was

204
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: really covered and he made a tough catch, and that's

205
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: really what we need from Juju.

206
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: He does a really good job in a running game.

207
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: He helps us on a lot of you know, different

208
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: blocking schemes, and then obviously, you know, in the passing game,

209
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: he had some really key catches for us. So hopefully

210
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: he can continue that. You know, he's uh, he's a

211
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: he's an important part of what we do. And uh, yeah,

212
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: he he did a really good job in Pittsburgh. Maybe

213
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: it was being back in Pittsburgh I don't know, you know,

214
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: but he uh, he did a nice job.

215
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: He was on Kansas City last year, so you know, yeah,

216
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: very true. Thank you, yeah, thank you.
