1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: How you doing today. I'm doing okay, Okay. It's a 2 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: challenging day, then, huh, that's what you're telling me. A 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: little yelling, a little screaming. It's a tough game yesterday, 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: going down there in a tough environment, not the outcome 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: that we wanted. So no one's thrilled today. But uh, 6 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: you know we're gonna pick up the pieces and and 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: try to get ready for Detroit. Is there? Um, you 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: seem like you you gotta like you just got beaten up, 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: like you got verbally assaulted. You feel like it's I know, 10 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: there's there's a certain way you feel after a loss, 11 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: but this one seems I don't know, basically just maybe 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: just maybe you're something else going on, but it seems 13 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: like you're you guys are taking this one a lot 14 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: worse than some other losses in the past. Um, I 15 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: would say yes, And know me personally, I'm just tired 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: because we got home late and I have two young 17 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: kids and what we have. Yeah, but I think, yeah, 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's disappointing. Um, we knew what type of 19 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: team that we were getting ready to face, we knew 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: the environment that we're going into, and you gotta give 21 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: You give them a lot of credit because they played 22 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: very well, but you know, we missed a lot of 23 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: opportunities throughout the course of that game, and you saw 24 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: that looking at the film today. So that's disappointing. When 25 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: you put in so much time of preparation throughout the 26 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: course of the week and then you don't go out 27 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: and execute, it's very disappointing. So so what happened then? 28 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: So if you knew the environment, you knew you were 29 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: gonna have to bring your own energy, what what do 30 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: you what do you guys blame it on? What do 31 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: you point to? How do you explain it? I mean 32 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: we have to point to to ourselves. Our focus, our 33 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: execution just wasn't good enough to be the football team 34 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: like that, and that's that's on us, that's on the players. Um, 35 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: you know, we we knew what we were going into, 36 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: we knew what our game plan was, and in a 37 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: lot of cases, we just didn't execute. And that's focus 38 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: in concentration. So you guys, um, it was about eight 39 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: minutes to go in the game, Bill decides to punt 40 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: on that fourth and fourth and a half year whatever 41 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: it is. How many times did you see that play 42 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: on film already today with the defender jumping and you guys, 43 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: we saw quite a few bills pretty upset, I would 44 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: say about that one. Well, and I know that's the 45 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: situation that we prepare for. Um, we've all got to 46 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: do all loving guys have to do a better job 47 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: executing in that situation. That that's a big play. It 48 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: doesn't come up often, and we had a chance to 49 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: take advantage of it and keep the offense on the field, 50 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: and and again we didn't execute. Can you what do 51 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: you gonna do? You gotta jump over grab him whoever's 52 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: the closest to him, Yeah, ideally, ideally, Well what is 53 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: the rule overall? So if he just so everybody knows, 54 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: so if he jumps through uh through the neutral zone 55 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: or if he's in the neutral zone, when can you 56 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: when's the point of no return? When you can't go 57 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: grab him? Right? Because if you, if he goes back 58 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: and he's and he resets and then you move, then 59 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: the penalties on you. Right, well, while he's in the 60 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 1: neutro zone, similar to when a defensive end or defensive 61 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: tackle would jump across the line and one of our 62 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: offensive liment would reach out and touch him, it's the 63 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: same idea for us in the king of game, So 64 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: while he's in the neutral zonome, you want to try 65 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: to take advantage of that and try to reach out 66 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: and touch them. But again, I think all loving guys, 67 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: there were things that we could have done better in 68 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: that situation. Hopefully if it comes up again, we can 69 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: execute better. There's some mistakes you usually don't see from 70 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: this Patriot team. But I guess if you're going to 71 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: see him, you see him earlier in the season. Why 72 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: is it do you think earlier in the season, you 73 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: guys do have some difficulty well, early in the season, 74 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 1: there is always a lot of moving parts, the teams 75 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: still coming together, trying to find its identity, trying to 76 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: figure out how we need to play to win, and 77 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: we're still improving, and I think oftentimes that's been the 78 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: case with us. We improved throughout September and October, and 79 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: hopefully we can do that this year. But certainly a 80 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: lot of what happened yesterday were things that were inexcusable 81 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: that we can control and we need to do a 82 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: better job moving forward. So I was always curious to me, 83 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: like you know, after a loss, some coaches, you know, 84 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: how they decide. I guess to coach up the situation right, 85 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: either they bring the hammer or they bring the love. 86 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: So it seems like coach brought the hammer. But there's 87 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: always good news, right, So you can't just be overly negative. 88 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: There's got to be something that you guys could point 89 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: to or maybe that he reference that said, you know what, 90 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: this is something that we can build on. Was there 91 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: anything positive about what happened yesterday? I think there was 92 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: a point in that football game where this team could 93 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: have quit. It was hot as all get out. Things 94 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: weren't going well for us. It was twenty one to three. 95 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: I think we could have mailed it in, but I 96 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: think we continued to compete. Now. It wasn't pretty, but 97 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: we competed all the way into the end of that game. 98 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: And I think that says a lot about the character 99 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: of a football team. And I think we showed some 100 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: good character there. So I think that was a plus. 101 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: And certainly, you know, everything that we did yesterday wasn't bad. 102 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: You look at the tape, Christian, you know this, it's 103 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: never as bad as you think, and it's never as 104 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: good as you think. So I think, you know, we 105 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: can take away that, Hey, this team is going to 106 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: fight to the end, and there's something to be said 107 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: about that because we've seen teams, thankfully not a lot 108 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: here that when they get in that situation they pack 109 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: it in, and we didn't do that. I'm curious what 110 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: kind of I should say support group? Do you think 111 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: your team is? Because I don't know if you heard 112 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: or not. We were just talking about it on Twitter. 113 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: Adam Schefter Ian Rappaport reporting that Josh Gordon looks like 114 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: there's a trade for him, guys coming a lot of 115 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: trouble in the past. He comes into the systems, but 116 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: people say this is the perfect team for him. We'll 117 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: see whether he comes or not. I guess it's final. 118 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: But is this a good spit for guys to come 119 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: in and have some mishifts because they know you guys 120 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: ask so much of them. Well that's news to me 121 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: coming in here with you guys. You know, I think 122 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: that the beautiful thing about this place is our locker 123 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: room dynamic. I really feel like we're more than teammates 124 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: and co workers. Were friends, brothers, were invested in one 125 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: another's lives. Our families spent a lot of time together. 126 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time together outside of the building, 127 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: and we try we try to be there for one 128 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: another on a personal level. You know, guys have a 129 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: number of things that are going on, and I think 130 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: that han element is something that's very overlooked when it 131 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: comes to professional football and professional sports in general. And 132 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: I think that's something that we're uh in tune with. 133 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: Is a locker room and and hopefully anyone that comes 134 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: here feels that way, feels as though they're welcome, feels 135 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: as though they're supported, feels as though that they have 136 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: teammates that have their back on and off the football film. 137 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: Do you treat him differently than because there is a 138 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: history there? You know, he's a phenomenal talent. I think 139 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: it was Christian who annoyted you by the way to 140 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: have him move in. But then we remember, remember the 141 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: two kids, and we said, now said, Matthew won't be 142 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: able to do that. But do you treat him to differently, 143 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: knowing this is a tremendous talent and he's got some 144 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: issues here and they're recent and you need to try 145 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: to get him on the same page with everybody else, 146 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: or do you just treat him like another guy who's 147 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,239 Speaker 1: walking into our locker room. He just has a different number. Well, 148 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: once that that news is made official, then officially that. 149 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: But until it's made official, I can just worry about 150 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: the guy. So if it were somebody like, somebody like 151 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: that would come to that, I think. I think when 152 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: you're dealing with guys, every guy's different. Um, there's no 153 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, do this with X, y Z type of 154 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: guy and you'll have this result. Uh. That's why you 155 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: have to establish relationships with guys, especially as leaders on 156 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: the football team. Relationships are important. As you try to 157 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: lead an individual, you need to understand what makes him tick, 158 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: will makes him go, what motivates him, what what what 159 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: values that he has in his life. And I think 160 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: all that's important as you try to get to know 161 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: a teammate and connect with the guy. And we do 162 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: that with everyone and everyone has a little bit different 163 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: approach when it comes to dealing with guys. But the 164 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: last one for me is Vonte Davis cornerback and Buffalo 165 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: quits it at something I've always wanted to do. Usually 166 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: at camp though, right you walk in, you're a vetter, like, ah, 167 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: screw you, guys, suck it. You know, you just walk 168 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: up the field. It was confused because you was off. 169 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: He just walk off buck naked. He was confused. They think, 170 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: then don't they usually have retirement ceremonies at halftime? Oh? 171 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: Maybe he? I don't know. I'm curious.

No, 178 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: just in general, I haven't had that situation come up, 179 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: trying to see what that's? What that looks like? Do 180 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: you just does he look anxious? Does he have an anxiety? 181 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: Is he case him back and forth?

It's called this is Buffalo Bill, I 184 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: guess so you don't want to And then happened on 185 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: a weekend where they started arresting people that were jumping 186 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: on the table. No jumping jumping on the tables up 187 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: there in Buffalo. You can't do that anymore there.
