1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, how much do you in 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:09,239 Speaker 1: your staff review UM situations UM that arise in a game, 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: not only the last play of the game yesterday, but UM, 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: the situation leading up to that, whether or not you 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: could have handled anything any different. Uh. Yeah, we look 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: at we look at all those UM, look at the 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: ones that happened, and then look at the ones that 8 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: you know, our opponents have had in previous games that 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: come up and sometimes you know, random things around the league. 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: But we just we have to do a better job 11 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: of that. And so it starts with me. I've got 12 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: to we've got to play better situational football, and we're 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: to try to achieve that. And if I could follow 14 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: Bill um when you mentioned situational football, is that a 15 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: combination of personnel, which personnel is on the field or 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: the personnel that's on the field executing better. Well, first 17 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: of all, it's understanding the situation. That's that's the number 18 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: one thing, UM. And then what specifically you would call 19 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: in that situation. That could have a lot of variability 20 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: depending on what um, as you said, what personnel they 21 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: have in the game, and you know, various other factors. 22 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: But you know, understanding what what are the critical parts 23 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: of each situation, and and then applying the specific call 24 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: that's made to that. So that's a combination of you know, 25 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: a lot of things. UM, and as I said, we 26 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: just gotta I gotta do a better job with it. 27 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: Thank you, Bill. Next question Mike Resall by Ben Boing, 28 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: keep doing, Um, just Scott going back to um the 29 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: fourth and four. UM. I'm just curious on that. How 30 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: much consideration, if at all, do you do you have 31 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: there of actually going for it instead of kicking knowing 32 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: that I'm thinking the clock there, you got twenty one 33 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: seconds left, and then of course the danger you don't 34 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: get it or there's a turnover, but you know, then 35 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: it's still two points. I just was curious how much 36 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: consideration there was to that at that time. Uh. Yeah, 37 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: we mean we talked about it. I felt like the 38 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: the points to make it a touchdown instead of a 39 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: field goal game where definitely, I mean, that's that changes 40 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: the whole changes the whole thing. So like what happened 41 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: in the Pittsburgh game yesterday, UM, need to touchdown, need 42 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: to field goal. That's you know, I think that's significant. 43 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: But you know, you can make an argument for doing 44 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: it the other way, I guess we want to and 45 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: then and then just building off the the idea of 46 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: understanding the situation that I think I heard early here 47 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: in the call, just the last play when when Gronkowski's 48 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: in and Devin mccordy's out, just from from that situation 49 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: on that last play yesterday, what does gronk House be 50 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: giving you in there in that situation that makes him 51 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 1: the choice there? You know, for that last play, it 52 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: would be his ability to play the deep long throw. 53 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: And is that and is that the deep long throw? 54 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: Is that? Is that hail mary even though the hail 55 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: mary might not at that point reach the end zone? 56 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: Or are you say or are you thinking on that 57 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: situation that the end zone might be in play? I 58 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: think it was a little too far to get to 59 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: the end zone necessainly a deep pass in that situation 60 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: the possibility I wouldn't rule that out. Yeah, okay, thank you. 61 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: Sext question Ben Roland, followed by Tom Kern. Good afternoon, Bill. 62 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: I have two questions about that last play as well. Um, 63 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: just curious, did you give much thoughts to going with 64 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: a regular type of past defense instead of the hail 65 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: mary defense at the end uh no, um, And I'm 66 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: just curious, of all the players to come off the 67 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: field on the last play, why was it Devin mccordy 68 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: who came off. He seems to be one of your 69 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: team's faster players and one of your better attackers. Why 70 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: why was it? Why was he the one who came off? Yeah, 71 00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: that's the way we substitute of that group. Do you 72 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: do you wish in hindsight you had who want the 73 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: field for that play? Well, I think there's a lot 74 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: of things that could have been better on that play. Um, 75 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: I don't think there are a lot of things that 76 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: could have been better in the entire game. I don't 77 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: think the I think the game is a lott a 78 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: lot more than that play, but certainly that that play 79 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: wasn't a good one for us. Expression Tom Kerrent falled 80 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: by Phil Perry. Hey, Bill, I don't want to beliebor 81 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: the final play, but I just wanted for clarification to 82 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: ask if you have an option, obviously to instead of 83 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: defend the throw to the end zone, also have something 84 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: we get into this hoop collateral multiple option or multiple 85 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: collateral type play we able to say this is the guys, 86 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: these are the guys who want to the field in 87 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: that instance, and maybe the personnel would have changed because 88 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: it's looking like a seventy five seventy seven yard bro 89 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: for Danny Aill to get it to the end zone 90 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: after three drops. Yeah, So what's the question playing both plays? Yeah, 91 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: that's the idea. Should you have both since it was 92 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: never going to reach the end zone? Do you have 93 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: had better tacklers on the field instead of a six five, 94 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty pound tight end. Yeah, I just 95 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: said us a lot of things that could have been 96 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: better on that play. I've believered. Thank you though. Thanks 97 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: questions Phil hearing Bill. I had one more on that 98 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: last play as well. How do you coach it up 99 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: as the staff in terms of trying to balance being 100 00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: aggressive as tacklers versus also defending against the time until 101 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: I guess throwback in that situation that would go across 102 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: the field and look when when he offense snapped the ball. 103 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot of different things they can do on 104 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: every play. Um, So when you're on defense, you have 105 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: to defend everything. All the things have can happen, all 106 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: the eligible receivers out there and wherever they're placed, and 107 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: so forth. So that's that's that's the way it is 108 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: on every play. You're not just defending one play. Yeah, 109 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: and if it's involved to that, I looked like the 110 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: last question right now is Michael jack Um. Bill, I 111 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about Albert McClellan and how active 112 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: he was yesterday, how successful he was, and if that's 113 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: kind of the role you envisioned him playing when you 114 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: acquired him a couple of weeks ago, for a month ago. Well, Albert, 115 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, has multiple roles UM, defensively and in the 116 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: kicking game, and he's done a good job since he's 117 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: been here. He's been a solid all the addition for us. 118 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: And it's two big plays yesterday on the on the 119 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: front blocks us. He's you know, he's done a lot 120 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: of other good things for us too. Thanks, and the 121 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: final question will go Mike Reefs. Thanks se So, I 122 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: know we've talked a lot about Rob Grunkowski and how 123 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: his contributions aren't always measured on the stat sheet. Um, 124 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: in this particular game, the stat sheet it does show 125 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: up quite a lot with him with the eight catches 126 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: for one oh seven and the touchdown. How encouraging just 127 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: was that for you to see that production spike from 128 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: him in the passing game. Well, you know, where wherever 129 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: the opportunities come, it's always good at see production. So 130 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: can't I can't always control who's going to get those 131 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: opportunities or when or where they're going to come when 132 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: they do. It's of course, it's great to see it 133 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: from everybody, anybody who gets it, anybody and everybody. I'm sorry, 134 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: on one hand, was raised the very last minute there, 135 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: Tom Kerran, do you have a final question? Sure, it's 136 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: just prior to the half bill um they had the 137 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: ball in Miami did with three forty nine left, punted 138 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: it back to you and I right at the two 139 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: minute warning, and there was a throw in the middle 140 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: of James White and then it was incomplete, and then 141 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: again in the middle of James and it was complete. 142 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: And it seemed as if you guys were kind of 143 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: at that point, having not made a bunch of yards, 144 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: intend to let the clock run down. Did that unfold 145 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: because a lot of things happened after that, But did 146 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: it unfold the way you anticipated? Because I'm looking at 147 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: and said they're gonna push it down the field and 148 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: you guys didn't. Well, right, Yeah, we didn't because we 149 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: didn't get a first down, Okay, just the only so 150 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: then when the time came off from like two minutes 151 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: to one thirty five after the completion, it was balancing. 152 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: We're either going to pick it up, but if we don't, 153 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna have erased a fair amount of time for 154 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: them in turn to come back at us. Yeah. Well 155 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: anything in that situation was to get the first down, 156 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: which didn't do. We had three time out outs and 157 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: with a minute and a half and three timeouts or 158 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: whatever it was, I mean, that's plenty of time for 159 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: us to be able to operate there. Like that was 160 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: you know, some big restriction. What was the restriction was 161 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: we didn't we had to punt the ball back because 162 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: we were stopped on third time. Okay, thank you, thank 163 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: you coach, Thanks everyone,
