1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Hey, Bill, Mauran, great, how are you doing? How you doing?

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, been better? But yeah, back at it. We're

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: still fighting.

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: We you joined us as we were discussing Mac Jones,

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: and I wanted to ask you if you feel like

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 2: he maybe at times is putting too much And I

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: guess this goes for anybody on this team maybe is

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: putting too much pressure on himself.

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: Oh well, it's the National Football League. It's a very

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: competitive league, and so you know, we're we're all under

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: pressure every week and that's that's the job. But yeah,

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean Mac mac van Plato himself, he works hard

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: soot fall. It's really important to him. He puts a

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: lot into it. Uh so, I mean, I mean we

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: all do that. Again, that's the NFL.

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: But one of the things that you talked about heading

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 3: into the game is Dallas's ability to get to the quarterback.

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: I thought for the most part, you guys up front

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: did a decent job of being able to slow those

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: guys down and allowing the quarterbacks to have times have

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: time to throw the football. What was your take on

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: your pass protection, especially against the Dallas defense that can

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: really get after.

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: Oh it was good at times. You know, we had

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: a couple a couple of breakdowns and we get picked inside,

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: you know with some games, and I mean, look, they

27
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: have a good pass rushing group, and with the score

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: of what it was, they were able to you know,

29
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: kind of tee off on the quarterback. But I thought

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: we hung in there. I thought that it was you know, competitive.

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: There's there some things that we need to definitely clean

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: up on it though, And and nothing would help pass

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: protection more than running the ball, just like we saw

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: that last week. So you know, those two things to

35
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: go hand in hand.

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 4: Bill, one went into the decision to kick the field

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: goal fourth and one at the six on your opening

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 4: possession of the game.

39
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: I'll just get down there and get points. It's a

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: three to three game, long way to go. Let's get

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: on the board. Make sure it's positive points come out

42
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: of the drive.

43
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 3: Bill, You've been in this situation before. You know, when

44
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: you start to look at you go down and you

45
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: lose in a game like that in a fashion like that,

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: but you still want to learn from it. But you

47
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 3: want to keep the guys in a mental position of

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: let's learn from it, but let's move past it. How

49
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 3: what's your process for doing that, especially this week heading

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 3: into new wounds.

51
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: I think exactly what you said. I mean, you hit

52
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: it on the head, learn from it, and move on,

53
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: and that's that's all we'll do. Well, We'll learn from

54
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: the things that happen in the game and move on.

55
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: Billy, look these things from the outside because we're not

56
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: there every day. We're not on this team. So just

57
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: looking at the at the offense, do you feel like

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: there's enough talent around Mac Jones on this team to

59
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: be winning these football games.

60
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we have pretty good talent on our offense.

61
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: We just you know, haven't been able to find a

62
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: good consistent group with it.

63
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: So does that end up being does that end up

64
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: being just from a scheme perspective or it's you know, you've.

65
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: No I'd say more consistency thing of you know, one

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: one breakdown, you know, one or two breakdowns on each

67
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: play with you know, some of the good things being done,

68
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: but ultimately that that one breakdown causes to you know,

69
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: play not to be successful. And I think once we get,

70
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: once we get hitting on a more consistent basis and

71
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: calim at uh, you know that one one problem or

72
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: one technique or one you know flundamental thing you know

73
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: that comes up on on individual play that it's that

74
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: results will be a lot better, but we haven't done

75
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: a good enough job on that, you know, until we

76
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: get there, it's it's just still obviously a problem. Bro.

77
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: When you talk to Mac in the game and you say,

78
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 3: you kind of understand that your quarterback has a lot

79
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: of pressure on him, and sometimes you see guys that

80
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: they try to do too much which leads to bad decisions,

81
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: and he had a couple of those in the game.

82
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 3: What was your message to him during the game or

83
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: after the game about that?

84
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was pretty much. I just felt like at

85
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: that point there wasn't any point leaving him at the

86
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: game in the game at that point, so we just

87
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: talk him out.

88
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 4: Time for the coach's verdict bill one in three for

89
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 4: the third consecutive year, oh to twelve, when the opponent

90
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 4: scores over twenty four points since twenty twenty one. Why

91
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 4: should Patriots fans feel optimistic about the direction of this organization?

92
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, look, I'm just really concerned about doing the

93
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: best job I can for our team, and I'll do

94
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: that every week. That's what I can control. That's what

95
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to do. So that's what I'm gonna focus on.

96
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 4: So go ahead, Sorry, you're gonna say, why have the

97
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: results not followed? What would you say is the biggest

98
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 4: reason why the team finds itself in this position today.

99
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: We just weren't able to where I haven't play well enough.

100
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: You know, we've played three games, four games. Three games

101
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: we turned the ball over and lost. One game we

102
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: didn't turn the ball over and did get sacked and won.

103
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: So thankfully, what the formula is, we've just got to

104
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: do a better job of it. And you know, defensive

105
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: in the kicking game, I mean there are things there

106
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: too that we need to you know, improve on. We

107
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: didn't didn't really have a very good day in a

108
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: kicking game, and defensively or some things we could do

109
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: better there too. So that's what we can do is

110
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: keep working hard, keep fighting and improving the areas we

111
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: need to improve in. And that's what we're going to

112
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: try to do.

113
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: So you think you're close, well, I think that's.

114
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: What we're going to try to do every week. I

115
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see on Sunday.

116
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: So, Bill, when when you look at some of the

117
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: ball security issues, do you make sure that I know

118
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: that when you see some of the throws in some

119
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 3: of the situations, to just get back to understand sometimes

120
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: the best play is to throw it away rather than

121
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: put too much on yourself to try to make a play.

122
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: And is that something that you know he realizes and

123
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: has to continue to learn as a young player in

124
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 3: this league.

125
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: I think every quarterback you know, realizes that and knows

126
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: that sometimes in the heat of moment, you know, you're

127
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: just trying to make a play and and then you

128
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: know regret it afterwards. But you know, every quarterbacks thrown interceptions.

129
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: Every quarterbacks made bad decisions. So it's every player and

130
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: every coach that's ever played. So we just gotta make

131
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: more good ones and just find more consistency in our

132
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: in our execution, especially offensively.

133
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: Player of the Game Bill is Pop Douglas. A little

134
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: bit about what he gave you yesterday?

135
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Pop, you know continues to you know, show

136
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: up with the speed and quickness and you know has

137
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: the ability to you know, create some space, especially in

138
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: man coverage, and you know it's going to take on

139
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: a punt return duties now, and so that's you know,

140
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: hopefully we can get him started on that and get

141
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: him started, meaning get to play, you know, going, give

142
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: him a chance to get going on it. And you know,

143
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: see we knew his punt return, he had some success

144
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: on that in college, and so uh, he's improved a lot,

145
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: you know since he spent here in terms of his

146
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, ball handling and tracking, and so hopefully we

147
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: can get him going in the return game as well

148
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: as you know.

149
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 3: Offensively, Bill, you had some key guys go down defensively, Uh, yesterday,

150
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: is there what's the optimism about as far as what

151
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: their injuries could be looking at? Is this something that

152
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: could be long term, short term or.

153
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

154
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: I think it's all it's hard to tell, right, you know,

155
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: Right when something happens, you got a lot of you know,

156
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on, you know, in the

157
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: next day or two after, you know, we come back

158
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: to the whatever we do with those injuries, whether it's

159
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: X raise, MRIs scans, whatever happens to be, and just

160
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: get more information. It's more definitives, so I'll rather than

161
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: guess about where things are aren't right now. That's that's

162
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 1: why medically they do all those you know, test to

163
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: get more detailed, more information to you know, figure out

164
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: exactly what what the situation is. So that's that's always

165
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: part of the Monday Tuesday. Sometimes go longer than that,

166
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: but you know, part of the evaluation and to see

167
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: exactly what we're talking about here, so you know, I

168
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: don't want to guess and speculate on and now we'll

169
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: wait till we get little more information and go from there.

170
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,600
