1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Josh, good afternoon. Goodn't you Phil? There we go.

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: Brandon Stalien Senies defense.

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 3: You know what you're seeing.

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Coach Statey does a great job.

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 4: He's he's done a great job ever since he you know,

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 4: he kind of took some obviously the stuff from Vic

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 4: and he's kind of, you know, he's got his own

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 4: flavor of things. He does schematically, certainly in their first year,

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 4: so they're kind of getting familiar with their personnel and

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 4: the fit.

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: They're playing really well in a lot of phases.

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 4: So physical front, very tough, big guys on the edge,

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 4: nineties really becoming a really good player inside and all

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 4: three downs. The linebackers certainly are very active, instinctive. Fifty

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 4: six and ninety four. I mean, between the two of them,

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 4: I mean, they got way more experience than I do

17
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 4: in the National Football League. So those two guys seem

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 4: to know when things are happening, when they're coming. You

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 4: can tell how much communication that they're involved in on

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 4: the defense. So secondaries, tight coverage, good disguise, you know,

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 4: challenging with pressures on third down.

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: So they do a great job.

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 4: I always have and this group is a group that

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 4: we're certainly getting familiar with, you know, and excited for

25
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 4: the opportunity to go play another game on the road.

26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: A guy like you know, Gibby's.

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 4: You know, Gibby's certainly been involved in a lot of

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: different things for us, caught the blow to the backfield,

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: made a lot of good plays in a running game,

30
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: certainly the big return down in Miami. So you know,

31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 4: whenever a guy gets injured, you know, never know exactly

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: how long they're going to be out and all the

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: rest of it. But you know, certainly we're trying to

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: prepare every guy to have an opportunity to play when

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: it's his turn. And so you know, we'll see how that,

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: you know, plays out here. But you know, you hate

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 4: it for any of the players. You know, they work

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: so hard to put themselves in position to have a

39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 4: great season, and any guy goes down with any injury,

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 4: big or small, it's it's tough.

41
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: It's tough for them. Most importantly, you learned both Drake

42
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: maybe in that second half two minutes thrill leap with her.

43
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 4: He saw, I thought, it's just, you know, our group

44
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 4: continues to try to work hard to be able to handle,

45
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: you know, whatever gets thrown our way. You know, and

46
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: I think coach Rabel has done a great job of

47
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 4: putting those positions in front of us in practice. And

48
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 4: you know, it's just one of those scenarios where you uh,

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 4: you know, your group responds together to adversity, whether it's

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: home or on the road. You're gonna need to do

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 4: that over and over and over again in the National

52
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 4: Football League, and so I think we've done that a

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: few times this year. I think we've learned a lot

54
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: about you know, a lot of things. You know, we're

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 4: certain things we could do to help us avoid being

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 4: in situations that are a little tighter. But you know,

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: they're all learning experiences for us. And excited to have

58
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 4: two more good days of practice here, get ready to

59
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: go down and play the Saints.

60
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: Car back through a lot Aboutrick Obviously impacts on the

61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: offense is development, but for you personally, and as it sounds,

62
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: probably wildly premature, but would you understand how bright his

63
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: future is? Be content coaching him here for the rest

64
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: of your career or do you hope to someday somewhere

65
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: I be a head coach again.

66
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: I love living in New England. It's the short of it.

67
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: Look, I just try to focus on now, really enjoying

68
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 4: coaching for Mike and the staff and the guys we

69
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: have here in this organization. And I would be surprising

70
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: if I moved my kids out of Westwood. So, come

71
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: hell or high water, I.

72
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: Don't know if I'll be here or not, but that

73
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: is what it is.

74
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: Josh. I was listening to an interview with Kurt Warner,

75
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: and while he prays Drake, he also thought it was

76
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: a little too much backyard with Paul. How do you

77
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: feel about that?

78
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: Well, when it works, it's you know it. You know.

79
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 4: Look, players make plays and sometimes the design of the offense,

80
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 4: you know, either isn't good enough on a certain play,

81
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: and then a player extends it and makes a play,

82
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 4: or the defense does something to you know, stop us

83
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 4: from doing what we would like to do initially, and

84
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 4: then a player makes a play, you know, And I

85
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 4: think that happens a lot in football. It just gets

86
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: talked about a lot more when it's the quarterback, you know.

87
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 4: But there's you know, times where there's a stunt in

88
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: pass protection and we block it, but we don't block

89
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: it the way that we would have drawn it up

90
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 4: and practice necessarily. But we got a block you know,

91
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 4: and nobody really discusses that a whole lot, or receivers

92
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 4: running a route and they try to play a certain

93
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: coverage and stop them from really doing it the way

94
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 4: that we wanted to do it. So he improvises a

95
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: little bit and creates an opportunity for himself.

96
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: And the team.

97
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: I think when the quarterbacks do it, and they do

98
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: it at the right times, certainly it's very helpful. It

99
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: doesn't always end in a positive play, but hopefully what

100
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 4: it does is it ends in a play that either

101
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 4: you know what doesn't hurt us, or we have an

102
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: opportunity to extend the drive. And I thought, I thought

103
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 4: he made a few good decisions to do that the

104
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 4: other night and made some plays out of it. And

105
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 4: there's gonna be times where we just got to throw

106
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: the ball away, which he's done that plenty of times,

107
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: you know this year when that's happened as well, here's

108
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 4: a coaching point on you're getting dragged out by a

109
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: three hundred twenty defensive play.

110
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: If you can't, you might be as the boy pickure

111
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: that up.

112
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a you know, again, the players make

113
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 4: all the plays, and you know, it is fun to

114
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 4: see them make plays.

115
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: At any point in time. You know, I'm excited to

116
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: see him make some plays in practice today, one of

117
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: the most.

118
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: Productive passes in the league on intermediate throws, specifically wondering.

119
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: What is it about his skill set allows him thriving

120
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 4: that area of the field, and is that common for

121
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 4: young quarterback to be so producted there. I think that's

122
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 4: a team thing, I really do. I don't think you

123
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: have success throwing the ball without you know, the offensive

124
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: line pass protecting, the backs, blocking blitzers, the skill players

125
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: running the proper routes at the right depth and being

126
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: where they're supposed to be, and then the skill players

127
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: working on their timing and the precision of the passing

128
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 4: game in general. So I look at all those things

129
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 4: kind of like a team thing. I know they attribute

130
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 4: it to one person because he throws the ball, but

131
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: doing anything in football is really a product of eleven people.

132
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 4: And so we throw the ball, you know well or

133
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 4: not well, you know, there's probably things that eleven guys had.

134
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: To do with that.

135
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 4: So just continue to try to improve. I think we

136
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 4: certainly have made some progress, but we have a I

137
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: think a lot a lot of room to grow the game.

138
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: To run game.

139
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: What do you see them there? And how do you

140
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: guys break out.

141
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: Some thinger round? Yeah, I don't think there's any shortcuts

142
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: to that. I know.

143
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: It's not for lack of effort on anybody's part. I

144
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: think you just got to keep working at it. It's

145
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: a that sometimes is a little bit of a process,

146
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 4: you know, that that comes behind the passing game at times.

147
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 4: You know, there's time on task time and pads things

148
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: like that that that we're continuing to try to work on,

149
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 4: you know, and we'll be doing it again today, you know.

150
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: So I don't I think patience is important in that

151
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: regard and not abandoning things and looking.

152
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: For one answer here or there.

153
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: I think we've got to stick with our our details,

154
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 4: our techniques, our fundamentals, and continue to get better at

155
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: them and then finish. I think we've seen some really

156
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: good examples of us finishing blocks. If you get a

157
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 4: few more of those on a certain play here or there,

158
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: it changes the outcome of the perception of what you're

159
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: doing in a running game. So just stay patient with it,

160
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: keep grinding away, keep working at it, keep coaching the details,

161
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: techniques and fundamentals, and let the guys continue to come

162
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: on in that area of our offense.

163
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: Some coaches believe that, like teams declare who they are,

164
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: you find out your identity come late October for a

165
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: couple of weeks await specific to your offense. Do you

166
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: feel like you are close to understanding the best way

167
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: you guys want to play and your identity?

168
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I think we try to go into each

169
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 4: week and give ourselves it, you know, an opportunity to

170
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 4: win again.

171
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: It can't be the same every week. Every team's different,

172
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: you know.

173
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: This team is completely different than the team we played

174
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: last week, you know, and the challenges that the Saints

175
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 4: provide us are are unique to them and what they

176
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 4: do schematically, and their players are different.

177
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: So I think we have to be able to adapt

178
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: what we do, you know.

179
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 4: To try to to fit our personnel most importantly, but

180
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: also to play against somebody else's players and scheme, which.

181
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: Is always the challenge. So I like where we're headed.

182
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 4: I love the way our players come into work every

183
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 4: day and try to grind the way at it and

184
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 4: get it down by Sunday, and you know, and and

185
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 4: we'll continue to do that.

186
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: We also like Speer Mandre Stevenson bounce back. What was

187
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: it like seer Mare Stevens and bounced back after the

188
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 3: early fumble, but then to go on and score two touchdowns.

189
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: Love it.

190
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 4: You know, Madre does a lot of great things to

191
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: help our team, and uh a lot of things that

192
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 4: that people don't necessarily talk about. And we want everybody

193
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 4: to protect the ball. I mean nobody, uh will Will

194
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 4: will not say that, but there's a lot.

195
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: Of things that he does.

196
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 4: You know, he's let's pick up chips, the defensive ends

197
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 4: a whole lot, is where he's supposed.

198
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: To be in the passing game.

199
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 4: It's really dependable, uh, in a lot of areas for

200
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 4: us and does a lot of things, plays a lot

201
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: of roles, and he's a great teammate. So you know,

202
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 4: it's our job to continue to work with all our players.

203
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: We all make mistakes, we're all human and and all

204
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 4: of us.

205
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: Do things that we wish we didn't do.

206
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 4: And nobody wants to do better than he does. And

207
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: so to continue to to you know, have faith in him.

208
