1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Hey, how are you guys carrying you up this late?

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: Oh?

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Hey, how are you present?

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 3: I'm good. I'm guessing you don't want us to make

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 3: any bus for Canton yet. For Trivion Henderson, but I'm

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 3: guessing you think he might have gotten off to a

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 3: kind of a good Patriots debut today and got the

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 3: team rolling well.

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 4: I think that was one of the phases that we

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 4: talked that was going to be so critical and it's

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 4: hard to really wrap full speed, and we got a

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 4: few of them against Washington, and I think we saw

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 4: some things that we can improve on, and that's exactly

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 4: what we did.

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: And I think Travion.

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 4: Read it out and hit the hole and everybody else

17
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 4: blocked and you know, finished and did all those good things.

18
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: So it's a step in the right direction.

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 4: And I think it's exciting anytime that you can, you know,

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 4: we talk about how critical a phase of the game

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 4: is going to be and the time out here and

22
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 4: be able to work on it.

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: Mike, it looked like Efton Chisholm got off to a

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: good start tonight. What did you see from him that

25
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: maybe stood out well?

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: I think his place, his play strength stood out to

27
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 4: me just on from the sideline. I think this the

28
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 4: way that he blocks, and you know, his ability to

29
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: to catch the ball in traffic.

30
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: The ball was you know, basically tipped or bobbled, you mean.

31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 4: Coming out of Ben's hand and kind of ran through

32
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 4: a tackle and ran through contact and then we threw

33
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 4: him the screen. So those are all positive things. I

34
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: think his his play strength to me is what stood

35
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 4: out and wrote from the back Michaeh just thought on

36
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 4: Drake's performance, and I'm sure the turnover probably annoyed you,

37
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: uh with with what he did. Are you asking and

38
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 4: answering or your thought is that I got you your thoughts.

39
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 4: I would say you about summed it up that that

40
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 4: that that's a that's a bad decision.

41
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: You know.

42
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna need better from him, and I

43
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 4: think he knows that, and that's that's obvious. So you know,

44
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: wasn't there and you know, we just have to be

45
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: able to find a way to get rid of the

46
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: football or take a sack and punt and play defense.

47
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 4: But to the defense's credit, they you know, forced the

48
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 4: field goal. I think that was missed maybe, but I

49
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: got a couple you know, it was a sudden change opportunity.

50
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 5: Right over here, Mike DJ James continues to have a

51
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 5: solid summer, just you know, your impression to him in

52
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 5: the interception tonight and then the work he continues to

53
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 5: do for you.

54
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 4: I think that it's always exciting to see players that

55
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: take advantage of opportunities. And since uh DJ was one

56
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 4: of the players that was here for rookie minie Camp,

57
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 4: and I would say that since that day and that weekend,

58
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: he's continued to improve and I think he's taken advantage

59
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: of that. And so I'm always for players that get

60
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 4: better take coaching.

61
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: It's it's on them obviously to to improve.

62
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: And so that's all to DJ's credit, you know, And

63
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: so I'm excited for him that he can put into

64
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: work and then start to see it translate onto the field.

65
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 5: Like I can't imagine a lot of instances of you

66
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 5: even going outside the stadium ninety minutes before kickoff, But

67
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 5: how important was it for you to be at the

68
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 5: at Tom ceremony And what was like for you being

69
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 5: that there and quickly getting back into the game mode.

70
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: I think it made it a little easier just because

71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: it was you know, it's a preseason game and there's

72
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: maybe probably not as much going on. I mean, there's

73
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 4: still the schedule and everything and meeting with the officials

74
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: and the team and the coaches. But I mean, it

75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 4: was always important for me to be out there, and

76
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: you know, I thought you saw the amount of people

77
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 4: that were there to support them, people on the commander's side,

78
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 4: former teammates. You know, just having somebody like that be

79
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: a part of this organization pretty unique, pretty special.

80
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: So glad that I was able to be a part

81
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: of it for a little bit.

82
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 6: Wrong, Hi, Mike, I'm curious with Will Campbell and Jared Wilson.

83
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 6: I'm curious how you thought they did on the left

84
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 6: side tonight, just with because it seemed like on the

85
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 6: fumble that they might have missed that block, but at

86
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 6: the same time, Will Campbell and they were pushing guys forward,

87
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 6: So just how you thought they did overall?

88
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the play demeanor showed, and you know,

89
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 4: I think that there was a game maybe that you know,

90
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: a pass rush game it looked like to me, and

91
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 4: those are something that will continue to work hard on.

92
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 4: We were able to pick him up in the practice.

93
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: They ran a few of them over there against us

94
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: in practice. We just have to be able to carry

95
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: that execution into the game. But you know, I certainly

96
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: did see their plate demeanor kind of stand out, and

97
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 4: I think that, you know, that's a good place to start,

98
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 4: is with that and and being downfield and finishing through

99
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 4: the whistle and everything that we we embrace here.

100
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: Like we saw Jaylen Pollock leap for the locker room

101
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 2: after the carry. Just curious if there's an update on him. No,

102
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: no update right now. He'll get more testing and see

103
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: our doctors. And you know, wasn't able to finish the game.

104
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 5: Mike, Obviously, you want to establish consistency in the preseason

105
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 5: and in training camp. So how important is it for

106
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 5: you that on this first game only two penalties for

107
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 5: fifteen yards.

108
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 4: Well, we had a couple that were, you know, really offsetting,

109
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 4: so we still fouled him. It wasn't like we were

110
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 4: really really clean. I thought operationally we were pretty good.

111
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: I felt like everybody was on the same page and

112
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: substitution and getting in and out.

113
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: Of the huddle.

114
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 4: And they don't huddle, you know, they they sub and

115
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 4: sometimes they stand over it and sometimes they don't. So

116
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: I felt like defensively, that was a good challenge for

117
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: us to be able to play a game like that

118
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 4: with a team that really doesn't want to huddle, and

119
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 4: but you know, when you can have that many you know,

120
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: we had a few kickoff returns and did not have

121
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 4: any penalties there.

122
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: You know, we had the one that was offsetting on

123
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: the punt. You know, those are.

124
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 4: Critical because they just there's so much feel position that

125
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: gets changed when you have penalties on returns and kickoff returns.

126
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: So it's a good start.

127
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 4: It's a good start for everything that we were talking about,

128
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 4: and you know, give us some more to coach. We

129
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: have to tackle better and you know we'll have to

130
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: throw the football better going forward. But you know, I

131
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 4: thought that this was a good place to start a

132
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 4: lot of questions.

133
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: Javon Baker made a couple of special teams tackles, and

134
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: I thought you were encouraged by that on the sideline.

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 3: But is it good to see someone who's trying to

136
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 3: contribute in more than one phase in terms of trying

137
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: to make the team.

138
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that that's fantastic when you have players

139
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 4: and especially receivers that can create a role and they

140
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: can help you and they can be big and physical

141
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 4: and everything that we see out of Javon as a receiver.

142
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 4: When you can embrace that and they can embrace that

143
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 4: as special teams play you guys that are big and

144
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 4: physical and fast, that and willing, that translates to two

145
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: special teams. So excited and you know, just happy for

146
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 4: Javaon just being able to to go out there and contribute.

147
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: And when you do those things, your teammates get excited

148
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: and you know, hopefully his confidence continues to grow.

149
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: Oh, Michael, here you mentioned the passing game is something

150
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: you can improve.

151
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: I was wondering. Obviously it's early, but what did you

152
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: think contributed to that, whether it was separation.

153
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the way that the game kind

154
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: of unfolded with the kickoff and you know, going for

155
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 4: a touchdown and you know, defensive turnover, and you know,

156
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: I felt like we we had some opportunities. Maybe the

157
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 4: ball was batted and I thought we had CJ for

158
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 4: a touchdown there he was open, you know, and then

159
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 4: just the protection I guess on the third down. So

160
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: it wasn't like we had a whole lot of opportunities early.

161
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 4: You know, we were able to kind of convert and score,

162
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 4: you know, running the football and then you know, Drake

163
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 4: scrambled right, So again I'm all for him using his

164
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 4: ability to to run, you know when it's there, and

165
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 4: he saw him slide and then he saw him be

166
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: able to run in the end zone. So you know,

167
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: maybe just kind of how the game unfolded early, we

168
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 4: hit some passes.

169
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: Late, I think Ben settled down. I was excited to

170
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: see him settle.

171
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 4: Down and you know, hit some passes. And John Giles,

172
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: who busts his tail to to block and play special

173
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 4: teams and you know, had a huge catch catch there

174
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 4: and felt everybody played, which I'm excited for. And you know,

175
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 4: we talked about there were some players that didn't get

176
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 4: to play on Wednesday or practice and that they were

177
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 4: gonna get an opportunity on on Friday night, and I

178
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,000

00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 4: proud that.
