1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Hey, coach Kates, just talk about your quarterback situation and 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: it looked like it'll be Luke this weekend. Oh, yes, 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: it will be. It'll be Luke. And you know, I 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: think it was the good the positive thing, you know 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: coming out of last game was him getting the amount 6 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 1: of snaps he did. Um. Obviously heading into this game, he's, 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, this is gonna be a big challenge for us, 8 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: like always um. You know, his first first start of 9 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: his career going against uh, these guys, it's you know, 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: any professional, this is the way that you want it. Adam, 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: If you look at the Patriots and Josh Gordon, what 12 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: stands out to you as you watched him the first 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: two games? And is it the same thing that you 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: saw last year? Are you noticing anything different? Well, I 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: mean as far as him as a player, I mean 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: he looks it looks as good as he's ever looked. 17 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: I mean he looks big to me, like in a 18 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: good way, Like he looks like he's in really good shape. 19 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,319 Speaker 1: And you know, he's one of those guys man, he's 20 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: you do everything you can to just just try to 21 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,559 Speaker 1: contain them. It's it's extremely hard, especially with the crew 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: that they have and what were your impressions of what 23 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: you suffer from Antonio Brown in his debut with the 24 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: Patriots last week. I think it's probably about what all 25 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: of us expected as far as you know production you 26 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: see the quickness, see the speed, see the hands. I mean, 27 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: it's just he's want to, if not the best receiver, 28 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in the league. Just talk 29 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: about game planning against the Patriots defense that's like rated 30 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: number one in almost every significant category. I mean, I'm 31 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: glad that you threw that. Threw that in there at 32 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: the end. It's always a challenge, you know, put the 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: rankings aside. Anytime that you go against the Coach Belichick 34 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: coach defense, it's extremely tough. There's a lot of variety 35 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: when you get to the game. There's always gonna be 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: something that's new. There's gonna be something that you have 37 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: to adjust to. It's it's always a challenge as a coach, 38 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: and it's really more about making sure your guys understand 39 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: that there's going to be things that you haven't seen yet. 40 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: Because you've seen this defense the last few years. What 41 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: stands out to you about or different about this defense 42 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: from from previous years. Well, I mean, I mean it 43 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: feels like it's it's it's so many of the same 44 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: guys year in and year out, and anytime that you 45 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: can keep a pretty good core of guys together, you know, 46 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: it's just they just learn, you know, the techniques that 47 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: are being asked, kind of the philosophy behind how they play. 48 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: It just becomes ingrained in them. And I feel like 49 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: these guys do such a great job of playing as 50 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: a group, and you can see that they play for 51 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: each other. They've worked to help you know each other 52 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: free up, especially up front. Those guys do as well 53 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: of a job as anybody I've we've competed against as 54 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: far as freeing each other up and being prideful and 55 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: doing that. What are the challenges of going up against 56 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: stephlan Gilmore, Well, I mean, he's he's probably the best 57 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: corner in the league, you know, just just as the 58 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: fact of you know, if he's he's one on one, 59 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: he's very difficult to get open on. He has a 60 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: very good knowledge of the game. Um, he understands splits, 61 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: he understands breakpoints, he understands stems and and things like 62 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: that that that really make it challenging for any receiver, 63 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: but as a play caller, you're you're aware of that 64 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: and just have to understand that. You know, he's playing 65 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: chess while everybody else is playing checkers like he's really 66 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: you know, especially the last couple of years, he's playing 67 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: at extremely high level. Adam, you've seen the progression of 68 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: Jamie Collins from kind of your side of the ball 69 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: for his first stint with New England and now his second. 70 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on, you know, how he's progressed 71 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: as a player and maybe how the Patriots have progressed 72 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: in using him. Yeah, I was, I was. I was 73 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: fortunate enough to be a victim of him many times 74 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: when we were in Denver. I mean, he was. He 75 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: was a nightmare when we went against them when he 76 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: was there the first time. You know, he was a 77 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: guy that we were always very concerned about when we 78 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: went into the game. Um, I think it's watching him 79 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: playing now, it looks like that's the right place for him. Uh. 80 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: He plays that he plays really well and in coach 81 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: Belichick's system, his versatility is flexibility, His knowledge of what 82 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: they do is impressive and it's obviously guy. The guy's 83 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: a playmaker. He was when we when the first time 84 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: around when we played him when we were in Denver, 85 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: and then now seeing him again, you know he I mean, 86 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: it's it's interesting to see him kind of play a 87 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: different spot and still being as productive as he is. Coach, 88 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: was there always some kind of one upmanship when you 89 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: were ruling with Josh McDaniels at Michigan State. No, No, 90 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: there wasn't. I mean, we were we were just we 91 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: were holding on were and he was a GA, I 92 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: was a student assistant. We were just it was survival, Adam. 93 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: We had asked UH Coach Belichick yesterday about the Demerius 94 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: Thomas trade and he acknowledged that there was a time 95 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: in the past where a trade like that never would 96 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: have happened. Um, how did that come about from your perspective? 97 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: And how surprised were you to just be making a 98 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: deal with the Patriots? I don't. I think when Joe 99 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: Douglas came to me, and you know, when when Aby 100 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: got there, we were kind of in a situation where, 101 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: you know, if we could find somebody that that had 102 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: knowledge of this system that could help us, that was 103 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: somebody that fit what we were looking for, which obviously 104 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: Demarrius does um, you know, we were trying to figure out, 105 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: like how how can we go about this? And I 106 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: think to Joe's credit, he just he was like, I'm 107 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: just gonna call him. The worst they can say is no. 108 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: And when when they they they said talked and you know, 109 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: those guys worked it out. Adam, how beneficial has it 110 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: been that Luke Falk was with you in Miami and 111 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: just is kind of familiar with the system. Yeah, it's 112 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: it's helpful for him, especially because he I mean, he's 113 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: a competent kid as it is. You know, he's very 114 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: confident in his abilities, a confident and his intelligence, and 115 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: he's able to take things from the classroom with no 116 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: reps and go out and execute, which is obviously being 117 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: in the system from for two years now, you know, 118 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: he has a really good grasp of it. I think 119 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: that time in Miami, being able to just learn as 120 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: much as he did was was extremely helpful for him. Coach, 121 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: what's have been like working with Braxton Barrios since he right? 122 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: He's been great? He works extremely hard. You know, we 123 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: haven't really had a chance to get a much game 124 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: action outside of the punt returns. Um. I know every 125 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: week he's he's itching to try to get opportunities and 126 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: whether it be special teams or offense. Uh, you know, 127 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: he was a guy that we were looking at hard 128 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: and uh when we were in Miami when he was 129 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: coming out, obviously we got to see him a lot 130 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: being down there. You know, it was just we're in 131 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: a situation last year where we had six guys basically 132 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: that we're already on there that we're making the roster 133 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: at wide receiver. So he really wasn't in our wheelhouse. 134 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: I know when he went to New England, you know, 135 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: we were all sitting the great We were like, great, 136 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: they got the next one ready to go. So, you know, 137 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: just getting a chance to be around him. Love his work, ethic, 138 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: love is how competitive it is, his attitude, everything about him, 139 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: his ideal. Adam, Since you were first hired as a 140 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: head coach with Miami and obviously in the division, still 141 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: here with the Jets, how was your time over the 142 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: last few years with Bill Belichick groan? I think for 143 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: me it's just you know, getting to meet him through 144 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: Matt Patricia was you know that was It was always 145 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: good to be able to just kind of talk with 146 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: him when anytime I would see him at the combine, 147 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, and in short conversation stations, and you know, 148 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you've seen a lot of football, you know, 149 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of great stories there. I know, 150 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: I was. I've been lucky enough to kind of to 151 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: stand there and just kind of listen to him talk 152 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: and and and laugh and and just know that you know, 153 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: he his his knowledge of football and and and all 154 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: the things that he's seen over his career is just 155 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: kind of one of those things you just wish you 156 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: were a fly on the wall all the time.
