1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: I won't ask you how you're doing. I'll just say hi, Pill, 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Best way of doing it all right? 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: So you you you ran through it at the end 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: of the game bad in all facets of the game. 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: There was nothing that worked out well, including the opening 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: kickoff in yesterday's game. So how do you sit here 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: and digest what happened yesterday? Especially when it happened in 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: week ten? We've seen this team have difficulty in games 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: like this earlier in the season. Usually by game ten 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: they're a lot more polished. How do you look at 11 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: this one? Yeah? I always have to go back to 12 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 1: work here and accomplish some things this week and then 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: get ready for the Jets. So we'll see that goes. 14 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: It's a different that it happens later in the season 15 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: than earlier in the season. To you, well, there are 16 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: always things that work on, and do you have an 17 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: opportunity to work on and which we do now, well, 18 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: that's all we do. But we do the same thing 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: no matter how yesterday is the game turned out. We have, 20 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: we got six ams left. We need to make the 21 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: most of those opportunities. You know, a lot it's been 22 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: made of the you know, the I guess the past distribution, 23 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: you know, like Josh Gordon getting twelve, you know Edelman. Um, 24 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: how does a guy get himself more opportunities? How does 25 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: a guy like Hogan or Dorset work his way into 26 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: being more of a part of the offense. Is it's 27 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: something that he does in practice? Is it something that 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: maybe they do during this this uh this bye week 29 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: where you maybe you reevaluate everybody and what they're what 30 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: they can help you out doing on offense. Yeah. I 31 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: think everybody just uh, whatever position they play, um needs 32 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: to god to their assignment, do it well and be 33 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: consistent at it, and uh, you know, usually those things 34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: will even themselves out somewhere along the line. Has Dorset 35 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: or has Dorset earned more looks? I mean it seems 36 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: like every time he's out there, not a lot, but 37 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: he's coming up with a big catch. Yeah. We have 38 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: confidence in all our receivers. We really all five guys 39 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: have played and they've all been productive and a little 40 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: maybe different ways, a little bit with CP but with Doorset, Hogan, 41 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: Edelman and Gordon always got production from all those guys. 42 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: So I'm sure they'll each will have some games where 43 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: they're more and get more targets and then maybe some 44 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: other get less. So just see that goes a week 45 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: to week bill. So Gronk makes the trip and I'm 46 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: wondering is that was that a game time decision or 47 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: was he just making the trip knowing he wasn't going 48 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: to play? Uh? Well, I mean we took we took 49 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: him down there because um, you know, he was doing better, 50 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: but in the end he wasn't able to wasn't able 51 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: to go. So do you factor in that the following 52 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: weeks a bye week as far as health goes, saying 53 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: he could go, but we got a bye week, let's 54 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: get him one hundred percent? Does that factor in it all? 55 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: H No, not really. So if you see, if he 56 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: can play, he'd be out there no matter what. Well, 57 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: he wasn't able to play yesterday, so he made him active. 58 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: Trent Brown was out during the course of the week 59 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: with illness. Did you have something running rampant within your 60 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: locker room this week? Sickness? I think we had a 61 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: couple of guys dealing with a couple of things, and 62 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: a couple of guys last week. That's the time of year, 63 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: So we had a player, a couple of players, a 64 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: couple of coaches, two or three guys a week last 65 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: two or three weeks, because you were rotating a lot 66 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: in the guard spot and I saw Trent Brown coming out. 67 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: Was that Did that have something to do with the 68 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: fact that maybe he was a little winded because he 69 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: was on the sidelines all week. I don't think so, 70 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: because I think it was actually Gilmore. I think after 71 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: the game I had said he had dealing with some 72 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: kind of illness as well, that thig factor into his 73 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: game because he's he's been outstanding all year long, but 74 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: it seemed like that wasn't maybe his best yesterday. Yeah, well, look, 75 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: it's uh, we're in the middle of November, Harritts, a 76 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: week ten of the football season, so sure everybody's not 77 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: feeling perfect right now. You know. One of the things 78 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: that h I guess there's there's a lot of X 79 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: players on that team, obviously Bravel and just you know 80 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: the guys that are on there. Dean Lewis, I don't 81 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: know if you've heard any of this stuff. It always 82 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: surprises me when guys say certain things when they leave 83 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: an organization. He said. They asked him if it was personal. 84 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: He said, that's what happens. When you're cheap, you get 85 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: your ass kicked. I was just curious. Are you surprised 86 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: that he would, I guess take a cheap shot like that. Yeah. 87 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: I don't really see or hear the comments, so I'm 88 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: not sure the context of it. But yeah, you don't 89 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: have to ask him about that. I don't know any 90 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: of that stuff ever bug you. And knowing that, you 91 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: know what it's like. If you win a game, you 92 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: got bravado, you're feeling really good about yourself. And then 93 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: if you worked for another employer beforehand or whatever, it's 94 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: your opportunity that you can stick it to them. So 95 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: it's kind of common human nature maybe that people do that. 96 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: But does it ever bother you? And you look back 97 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: and said, yeah, I helped this kid out. I know 98 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: it's undrafted, gave him an opportunity, made him a lawful 99 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: lot of money. Does it ever bug you? Yeah? Well, 100 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: I mean, look, Dean has made plenty of positive comments 101 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: in the past. I'm not really sure about this one. 102 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: But look, whatever it is, it is, and right now 103 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: we need to worry about what we're doing and our 104 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: football team and that's really where our focus is. So um, 105 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: whatever else anybody says or doesn't says out our control, 106 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: and I'll think we're going now it's gonna affect us 107 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: too much one way or the other, whether it's good 108 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: or bad. Um, how's the rex burkhead doing? Saw that 109 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: he practiced last week? Um? Yeah, it's good to say 110 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: him out there. Umah, We'll take a day to day 111 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: and see how it goes. Is that a is there? 112 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: Do you have a deadline as far as when you 113 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: can declare whether or not he's going to be part 114 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: of the active roster or not three weeks after he 115 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: starts practicing. Okay, so this will be a week one 116 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: coming up on. It was Wednesday, So last week obviously 117 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: a big challenge with guy like Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I 118 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: know you talked a lot about that contain you know, 119 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: the pass rush and containing a guy like Rogers. Marcus 120 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: Mariota did did you feel like you did a good 121 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: enough job against him? Did you feel like he did 122 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: a similar job or or not as good as maybe 123 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: you did the week before with Aaron Rodgers? H? Well, 124 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: Mariota got us on uh you know, on a run 125 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: or a running to catch the passing run. I think 126 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: he only ran once and for a couple of years 127 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: high Tiwer tackled him, but he uh no, you know 128 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: that really wasn't the yardy twice as big of a 129 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: problem as the running game? And um, the yardy say 130 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: completed throwing the ball? So, um that's in the end. 131 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: Who wasn't it? Just it wasn't good enough. We have 132 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: to play better team defense, team offense, and special teams 133 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: and coach better than anything else. Did you guys run 134 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: that that pass to Brady on that third down play? 135 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: And then the next time Tennessee gets the ball, Mike 136 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: runs the exact same played up to Mariota. Did you 137 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: did you feel like that was just the timing of it? 138 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: Did you did you chuckle at it? Did you feel 139 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: like it was a shot at you? Guys? Oh? Shot 140 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: at what? Just he ran the exact same play like 141 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: minutes after he commented about it after. Yeah, Look, when 142 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: you're on defense, your job to stop the other team. 143 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: So that's that's what your job is. You don't control 144 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: the plays I call you mentioned special teams. Um, three 145 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: of their first six possessions they started on your side 146 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: of the field. Um, obviously never a good sign. A 147 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: little concerned about field position, and some of these on 148 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: special teams. Now again, Glenn, there wasn't really anything that 149 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: was good enough yesterday, so we're all we're all part 150 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: of it. I think that this morning, the guys asked Brady, Okay, 151 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: if is there not as there as silver lining is 152 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: there's is there anything positive you can take from it? 153 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: And Brady said, didn't throw No no turnovers. I mean 154 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: three games in a run, three games in a row, 155 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: no turnovers, So I guess that's something. Yeah, I mean, 156 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,119 Speaker 1: you know, individually, there were some there were positive plays 157 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: and positive things within some plays, but in the end, 158 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: as a team, our performance wasn't where we want it 159 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: to be where it needs to be. So well, that's 160 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: the most important thing. We'll have to try to find 161 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: a way to improve that. What goes into decision of 162 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: pulling Brady seven and a half minutes Usually guys are 163 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: blowing teams out, We always wonder when you're gonna pull 164 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: him or not. But in this case, here he comes out. 165 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: I believe seven and a half minutes ago. What goes 166 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: into that decision? I felt it was the best thing 167 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: to do at that point. There were a couple of 168 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: the guys have found out that category too, the amount 169 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: of pressure they're putting on him, or the score itself. 170 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: Now the score, yeah, the score as far as just 171 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: and I know this time of year everybody's dealing with something. 172 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: But based on you know what we saw yesterday, a 173 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: lot of guys getting hurt or sick could just buy week, 174 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: not come at a better time, just for everything, regrouping, recalibrating, 175 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: getting guys healthy. Yeah, I don't know, Christian. Whenever they come, 176 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: they come, So when they schedule them, we show them, 177 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: play them, and when they don't, we don't. So I 178 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: don't really worry about that. Whatever the schedule is, it is, 179 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: and we try to do the best we can time 180 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: with the time allocation that we have. When you look 181 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: at a game like that, how much do you look 182 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: at it and come out of it and say, all right, 183 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: we just didn't have the right game plan or they 184 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: had a better game plan than we did versus we've 185 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: got some weaknesses, some holes right now that other teams 186 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: are going to start to exploit in the upcoming weeks. 187 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: I think I said after the game that they we 188 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: were out coached, we were out played. They beat us 189 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: in all three phases of the game. We got to 190 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: do a better job of coaching, playing, executing, and everything. 191 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: So that just it just wasn't a good day for 192 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: us yesterday. I don't know any other way to put it. Well, 193 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: it's as opposed to one day you just didn't get 194 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: the job done and they did. Versus issues that you 195 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: see going forward here, Well, they hit us on some 196 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: scheme things that we're a problem that from a coaching standpoint, 197 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: we need to adjuster get fixed. The players weren't well 198 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: enough prepared for. Are the things that we were prepared for, 199 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: we just didn't do them well enough in all three 200 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: phases of the game. So I think everybody looks at 201 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: that game, I think about the same way that we 202 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: all feel like we came up short and we all 203 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: need to do better. You know, Tom and the past 204 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: has talked about how he's seen so much from different defenses. 205 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: He's seen, you know, he can pick things up. I 206 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: think it was I have the answers to the test, 207 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: I think was the quote he had. But the last 208 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: five weeks, compared to the first five weeks, we've seen 209 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: numbers with him versus the blitz that we haven't seen 210 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: ever in his career. Usually tortures him. The last five 211 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: it's been a struggle. Is that not picking up the 212 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: blitz in certain areas or is that other issues as 213 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: far as maybe personnel, wide receivers, offensive line communication. What 214 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: are the reasons why this offense has been struggling in 215 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: your eyes lately about with the blitz. Yeah, it always 216 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: comes down to team execution, and so we just have 217 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: to do a better job of that. I mean, there 218 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: hasn't met a lot of pressure on the quarterback this year. 219 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: We were one of the least sect team in the league. 220 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: Yesterday was there were times when there was pressure. There 221 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: are times on there wasn't. But the bottom line is, 222 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: well there is there isn't pressure. The overall passing game 223 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: has to execute on time in a smooth fashion, and 224 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: that includes everybody. It's the protection, it's the receivers, it's 225 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: the distribution of the route, it's the quarterback, it's the 226 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: play and the coverage that we get it against. All 227 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: those things are related. Again, I think we all have 228 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: to do a better job than that. Well, over the years, 229 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: we've already talked. We've always talked about Tom Brady as 230 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: a guy who if you're gonna go blitz him. He's 231 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: just going to tear you apart. Christian came up with 232 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: a stat this past week, and I don't know how 233 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: valid it is in which Brady apparently is the worst 234 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: against the blitz this year now Michael bart is based 235 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: on his passer rading. Okay, five or more rushing. Michael 236 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: Lombardi disputed it. Your buddy, Michael Lombardi disputed it on 237 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: Friday basically saying he had different numbers and he threw 238 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: the numbers out there. So what is your eyes from 239 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: the sidelines tell you? Are you more susceptible to the 240 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: blitz right now your offense then you've been in past years. Again, 241 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: it's so much of those plays or depending on what 242 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: the what the play is that's matched up against it. So, 243 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: if you have five guys in protection, six is too many. 244 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: If you have six guys in protection, seven's too many. 245 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: If you have seven guys in protection, eats too many. 246 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: So sometimes it just depends on what you happen to 247 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: have called and what they what they have and have called. 248 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: They were six man rush and you pick it up 249 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: because you have six blockers, then that's fine. If you 250 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: have five man rush, then you're gonna have to throw 251 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: the ball before the six guy gets there, and that's 252 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: building into the pattern or build into the play and 253 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: vice versas. So it's um, I think really the places 254 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: or really have to be analyzed individually, which they are, 255 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: and we have to handle blitz on every play. We 256 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: covered on every place. So we just have to do 257 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: a good job of trying to be in good plays 258 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: that handle it. But also when we do get it, 259 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: which is you can't always predict that, then being able 260 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: to execute whatever the proper part of the play is 261 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: to a little the extra rusher. You know, I've been um. 262 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: You know, get towards November Thanksgiving, you know, your record 263 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: and your playoff opportunities and your seating comes to comes 264 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: a little bit more into focus. And I've had coaches 265 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: that have made a point of putting up the record 266 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: showing guys, Okay, this is what we're playing for. This 267 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: is where Kansas City is, this is where Pittsburgh is. 268 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: You know, this is what you guys are playing for. 269 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: You know, don't take these games for granted. And for 270 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: the life of me, I'm sitting there going I don't 271 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: remember what Bill did. I'm assuming you probably never brought 272 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: it up. Period, right, because it's one only the next 273 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: game is the most important. But our guys, I mean 274 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: you're somewhat maybe just aware of the situation that they're 275 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: in as far as you know, just watching what Kansas 276 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: City is doing and you know, trying to make sure 277 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: you have home home field advantage. Is do you guys 278 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: mention that at all or is it just still status quo? Well, 279 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: there's nothing we can do about games after the Jets game. 280 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we're not going to prepare for those games. 281 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: We're not going to practice for them, We're not gonna 282 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: do anything about them. We're not going to do anything 283 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: about the games we've already been played. There's only one 284 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: game we're really focused on, and that's a Jets game. 285 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: So we'll do the best we can in that one 286 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: and then worry about next week. Next week. When you 287 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: have a guy like Sony Michelle coming back and I 288 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: saw I think it's sixteen or seventeen snaps, is that 289 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: because of the way the game was going or was 290 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: that more of I don't do you have guys on 291 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: pitchcounts to say, oh, snap counts, I would say coming 292 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: back from injury. Yeah, not usually Usually it's usually It's 293 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: based on the situation of the game, and we generally 294 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: have an idea of about how much we think we're 295 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: going to be in a certain personnel group, but never exactly, 296 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: and that can vary during the game, of course, in 297 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: game conditions and as the game unfold. So obviously, yesterday 298 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: we fall behind. We're in a lot of passing groupings 299 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: and passing sets and so forth. So I think he 300 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: was capable of playing more than he did, but the 301 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: game situation dictated some of those personnel groups and some 302 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: of the plays. All right, well, your favorite part of 303 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: the show. Coach things up with our drive of the week. 304 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: Not enough drive? So the week this well, I think 305 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: I know which one he's gonna say. You had You 306 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: had a unicorn out there score touchdown, James Devlin fullback 307 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: scoring and touchdown. When was the last time you had 308 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: a full back score touchdown? You remember Heath Evans. I 309 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: mean he wasn't really a fullback though, right, No, Um, 310 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: James scored in in Houston, So I don't want that one, 311 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: like fourteen, Yeah, I think twenty fourteen. So the last 312 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: time fourteen or fifteen something like that. Yeah, yeah, sure, 313 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: let's go that one. I knew you'd like that one. 314 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: I knew you liked it when that was our drive 315 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: of the week and that was brought to you by 316 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: the Boston area Mercedes Benz Dealers. Conversation with the Coach 317 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: brought to you by Putnam Investments, Putnam Investments and the 318 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: Patriots proud partners committed to an active game plan on 319 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: the field and off. Before we let you go, what 320 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: are you guys doing this week? Is it kind of 321 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: a ketchup for internally what you need to do and 322 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: then next week you prepare for the Jets after time 323 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: off of you Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, I'd say pretty much. 324 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: We need there's some things we need to do regardless 325 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: of who we play, and then let's say somewhat generic 326 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: and then we'll turn our attention to the Jets and 327 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: obviously next week and it'll be exclusively the Jets. So 328 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: this will give us a chance this week to work 329 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: on a couple of things that hopefully we'll help us 330 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: against the Jets and possibly in other games too. All right, 331 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: see you next Monday, coach. Okay, great, Thank you much, 332 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Right here in OMF
