1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,519
Speaker 1: Good morning, Bill. How did everyone do with the snow yesterday?

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Did the players dig themselves out and get to work

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: on time and do what they need to do? Yeah?

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: We um yeah, move things back a little bit, just uh,

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, help let's save with the process and you know,

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: have a little a little more daylight to work with.

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: But um yeah, we're we had a good, good productive

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: day and um you know, ready to go. Um, So

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: you're playing, obviously the Dolphins this Sunday and their coaches

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: Brian Floor as a guy who you've known for a

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: long time. He grew up in your program. He did,

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: wore many different hats for you. Um, how does that

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: relationship change at all when he becomes a head coach

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: for another team. What's it like seeing him kind of

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: have some success down there in Miami. Well, I mean,

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: obviously it changes a lot from him on the staff

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: here at end being that coach in Miami. But yeah,

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: I mean I've been through that. My whole career is

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: just you know, long, long time coach in the NFL.

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: And there's plenty of been plenty of that where coaches

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: leave here and coach somewhere else, or coaches who are

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: somewhere else, and you know, come here and coach like

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: Jed last week with the Rams, So you know, I

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: think it's just that's part of the NFL. And yeah,

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: it's fairly common over the course of the season for

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: that to come up several weeks in the year. And

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: obviously players it's you know, same thing with the players,

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: So it's they're hardly probably a weekend the season where

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: there isn't some kind of crossover between Patriot players on

30
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: our opponents team or a player on our team that

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: played for the opponent and the last one. Do you

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: take any I mean, he's having a decent amount of

33
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: success down there this year. I'm sure that more, but

34
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: he's seemingly got them headed in the right direction. Do

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: you do you take any pride when when you see

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: one of your former assistants do well like that? Well,

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the main thing for me is to try

38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: to help our team and to do the best job

39
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: I can here for our players and in the Patriots organization.

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: So that's really where my energy is focused. All Right, Thanks,

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: that's all I got. Next question Mike Tartan followed by

42
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: Terris Hullivan. Morning build. I'm wondering, how do you see

43
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: them using Kyle van Noying. Is it Is it similar

44
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: to the way you guys deployed him in his time

45
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: in New England. Yes, I let's say it's similar. Their

46
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: defensive structures very similar to ours, and yeah, you fill

47
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: a similar role there, same thing with Landa And with

48
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: regards to their two corners, obviously, Davian Howard is having,

49
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: uh you know, a sort of all pro type season

50
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: Byron Jones, they spent a lot of money on. Are

51
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: there styles similar playing wise? Are they both physical guys

52
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: or is there sort of a complement of skills there. Yeah,

53
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: I mean they're both long and you know, do a

54
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: good job on the line of scrimmage, um, athletic fast. Yeah,

55
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: there's a let's say, definitely a cemetery there with the corners.

56
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: How do you feel like your your guys have done

57
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: this year with with press coverage and guys being physical

58
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: with them? Uh? Well, I mean, you know, we've played

59
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: basically four corners pretty much the whole year, so but yeah,

60
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean in general, we've we've had some good plays,

61
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: some good days and then there's others that, um, you know,

62
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'd like to I like to have some

63
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: back but whatever it is, it is, or really it's

64
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: about our matchups this week against Miami and that's and

65
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: that's that's the focus right now. Thanks Bill. Next question

66
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: Tera Sullivan fall by Chris Ryan. Morning, Bill, Um, I

67
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: know you're not prepping for Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starter

68
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: UM this game, but you never know he might make

69
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: an appearance. Plus you've prepped to play him many times

70
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: over your career. I was hoping you would just share,

71
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: UM a reflection on just, you know, the career he's

72
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: put together, maybe from your perspective, what it takes for

73
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: someone who came from Harvard where he was in the

74
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: draft to stick in the in the league as long

75
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: as he has just just sort of an overall impression

76
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: of you know, of his career. Fitzsud you know, had

77
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: a good career. He's um, you know, played in a

78
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: number of organizations and it's been productive and in all

79
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: of them. Really, Um, you know, he's a tough, competitive guy,

80
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: that's and it probably as tough as any quarterback you

81
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: know in the league in terms of being willing to block, um,

82
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, not sliding, getting tough yards, things like that.

83
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: And he's mentally tough, you know, he's can shake shake

84
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: things off and you know, just continue to compete. So

85
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for him on what

86
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: he's done. Oh, regrets about never being able to join

87
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: the AFC East Club. I mean you've seen him a lot.

88
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just making a joke. You're the one

89
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,559
Speaker 1: team he hasn't played for obviously it just never worked

90
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: out or wasn't wasn't needed for you. Yeah, well, so

91
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: you're welcome. Next question, Chris Ryan Morning Bill, Hey, Chris, Um.

92
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Josh Uch as well

93
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: as uh Juwan Bentley and what you think you've gotten

94
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: from from them this year, Josh's acknowledge that he still

95
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: hasn't found his groove um with with the Patriots, and

96
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: just what you've seen from from them and your projections.

97
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Josh's Josh's made steady progress for us, um.

98
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: You know, he's a versatile player. He can you know,

99
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: handle um some different roles and so it's taking a

100
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: little time for him to adjust and for us to

101
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: probably fully understand how he functions in those roles and

102
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: which which ones are the best fit for him depending

103
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: on what our opponents are doing and what we have

104
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: to what we have to deal with. But he may

105
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: made improvement through training camp and miss some time then

106
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: has come back and um has come back when you know,

107
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: played well enough to earn more opportunities on the field.

108
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: So we'll just continue to see how that goes. And

109
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: on Bentley as well, and also one of Adrian Phillips.

110
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: And do you do you have a personal preference at

111
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: this point in having you know that that type of

112
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: a player like Phillips play in the box or is

113
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: it just more of an adjustment to you know, what

114
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: the personnel dictates in regards to matchups. Yeah, well there's

115
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: always a certain element of no matchups of the offense. UM.

116
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: But UM, in terms of you know, Juan, he's really

117
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: taken over the main role as a signal caller on

118
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: the defense and you know it's one of our captains

119
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: and you know, it's a good understanding. He's a smart kid.

120
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: He has a good understanding of football and football concepts

121
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: and has made some big plays for us this year,

122
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: like a suddenly goal line stop against Arizona, some plays

123
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: like that, and you know Adrian Um, you know, his

124
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: his role has again been evolution to UM. You know

125
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: some some basic Nickel type defenses, but also UM based

126
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: on the opponent and the matchups and the type of

127
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: personnel groupings information that our opponents use. He's he's fitting

128
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: into those as well. So Adrian's done a good job.

129
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: He's a good football player and very instinctive. He has

130
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: a good good sense of what's going on. A lot

131
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: of times can anticipate what's going to happen before the

132
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: play even starts. What role is intellected into a patient

133
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: play when you're evaluating players that you want to bring in,

134
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: and how do you go about you know, determining that

135
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: because it seems to be something that throughout your time

136
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: here has been a common thread where the guys are smart,

137
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: they adapt quickly, and they have you know, an intellectual

138
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: capacity to be able to UM to pick up what

139
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: you're you're throwing at them. Sure, well, those are all

140
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: positives UM. Again, you know, some guys have more of

141
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: that than others. Some players have more experience than others.

142
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: That's a big part of it. So you know, Adrian, uh,

143
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, has quite a bit of experience UM playing

144
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: UM in the league, and especially this year when we

145
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: played the you know, AFC West, he had he had

146
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: a lot of experience at those teams, but he just

147
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: has a lot of experience periods. So um, he's smart

148
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: and instinctive. And then when you combine that with um

149
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: familiarity has with some of the opponents that we played, he's, yeah,

150
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: he's able to anticipate quite a few things. Thanks, but sure,

151
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: as I showed no other hands raised, we'll finish stare.

152
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, coach. Thanks everyone, Okay, great, you're welcome.

153
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: Thank you
