1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Hi guys, good morning. How are you. I'm doing good.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be four and oh and um just

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: gonna get to work on the red skame today. Boomer

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: Assias and said earlier this morning that you probably didn't

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: sleep well last night because of the because of the pick.

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: Does that does that still bother you? You know, it's

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: not a great day by you know, um our offense,

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 1: and you know, we just didn't play the way we

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: were capable. So you know, you know, turning the ball

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: over in the red area or um you always cast

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: your team points. So it's just a not a not

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: a very good day offensively, and you know, we got

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: to try to figure out, uh, you know, better ways

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: to execute and uh obviously score more points than we

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: did yesterday. It's definitely a tough place to play. Was

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: the Was the Bill's Mafia a factor yesterday? They're you know,

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: they do a good job there. It's it is loud

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: and they you know, but we have too many communication

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: issues yesterday. I thought, you know, the road environment is

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: always a little challenging. I think what quiets the crowd

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: the most is playing well offensively, and you know, you

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: can really keep them out of the game. If if

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: we did that, but we just you know, we didn't.

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 1: We got off to a good start, which was great,

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: but um, you know, we really didn't do much after that.

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: So that was you know, we're kind of dealing with

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: the crowd noise all day and just never could really

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: find our rhythm. Anything interesting get thrown on the field,

29
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: or did you was that you didn't seen anything? I

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: didn't see anything. No, that was the first time in

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: a while I hadn't seen anything. That's pretty hard to miss. Um,

32
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: we were we were talking right before you called about

33
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: that Jones hit, and you know post game, some of

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: those Buffalo players were talking about if that were a

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: hit on you, there would have been any an ejection. Um,

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: did you have a chance or have you had a

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 1: chance to see that? Since yesterday I saw the play happen,

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's Um, it's always you know,

39
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: you never liked to see one get hurt out there. Um,

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, football is a contact sport. Um, you know,

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: it's just it's part of it's it's it's part of football.

42
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean my career, I mean, the reality is my

43
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: career started. You know when Drew got hit on the sideline.

44
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: You know, so you know, Drew was running for a

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: first down. And you know those defensive players, I think

46
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: they are very fast and very physical. Um. Actually, I

47
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: had a play like that up in Buffalo early in

48
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: my career where I was scrambling up the right side

49
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: and you know, tried to hold onto the ball and

50
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: I tried to slide late and guy hit me and

51
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: my helmet flew about ten yards away. Um. You know,

52
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: it kind of riled up their whole sideline and uh,

53
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: you know it just I remember the next day, Coach

54
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: bell a Check said to me, I'll never forget this.

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: Uh he said, hey, Brady, if you want to have

56
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: a career in this league, you know, when you're running

57
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: like that, you either throw the ball away or you slide.

58
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: So I'll never forget Coach Belichick telling me that. And

59
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I've kind of taken to that. You know, I think

60
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: that's you know, a lot of quarterbacks suit who do run. Um.

61
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's you're trying to make yards and

62
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: it's great, you know, at the same time, you're susceptible

63
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: to you know, big hits. Um. You know, and that's again,

64
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: whether it's flagged or not, or whether it's a penalty.

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of the rules have changed

66
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: over the years. But you know, from a quarterback standpoint,

67
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like it's always best to try

68
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: to be available to the team, and it's trying to

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: take you know, risk reward and so forth. And again,

70
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: nobody likes to see anybody get hurt out there. Um,

71
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, and and uh, you know, from my own experience,

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, I try to do the best I can

73
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: to avoid you know, any big shots like that. Speaking

74
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: of Bill, um, do you end up you know, dreading

75
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: your film session with him after after a game like that?

76
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: Still after all these years, No, I mean, they're all

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: something to learn from. So you know, you try to

78
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: learn from the the um. You know, you try to

79
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: learn from the good. You try to learn from the bad. Um.

80
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: You know, We've had a couple of good games where

81
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: we scored you know, some points and then you know

82
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: this last one, um, you know, which wasn't our best effort.

83
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: So it's just, uh, you know, you gotta you gotta

84
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: learn from both. And we got to figure out, you know,

85
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: what we can do well, we got to figure out

86
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: the things that we just gotta you know, throw out

87
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: that we're not doing a good job of and that

88
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: you know probably won't work, um because every year your

89
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: team changes them so forth, and sometimes you you know,

90
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: you try certain things and you think they're gonna work

91
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 1: and they don't, or you know, you build on things

92
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: and you're just gonna try to find and find ways

93
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: to get better and improve and you know, find things

94
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: that we can consistently do a good job of. So

95
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, yesterday there there's a lot to learn from

96
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we'll watch it closely and try

97
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: to do better and watch them next week. I think

98
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, we were talking earlier about post game and

99
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: whether you were frust frustrated with just the performance of

100
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: the offense or the availability of weapons, and I was

101
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: wondering if you could kind of share a little bit

102
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: on kind of how you felt post game and if

103
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: you still sort of feel that way this morning. Tom.

104
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm frustrated when we don't, you know, play well.

105
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm frustrated when we don't score points. I'm happy when

106
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: we win. It's a lot of mixed emotions. I mean,

107
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: I think when you win a game, it's never like, Man,

108
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent in great spirits you know, and

109
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: certainly when you lose. Sometimes it's not like I'm one

110
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: hundred percent you know negative. You know, I'm trying to

111
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: be realistic about how I felt out there, how I felt,

112
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, the game was going and in our rhythms.

113
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: So I'm just dealing with a lot of different emotions,

114
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: ups and downs, the mental grind of the game, the

115
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: physical grind of the game. Um, you know, So it's

116
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: just a lot of mixed emotions. And I mean, ultimately

117
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: the goals to win, which I'm you know, the defense

118
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: is playing spectacular, so you know, I think the thing

119
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: that hurts the most is the interception, you know, because

120
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: that's you know, we don't score points, and I you know,

121
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: I believe that our defense is going to play really

122
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: well all years, so you know, scoring points are at

123
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: a premium, even if it's a field goal. So that one,

124
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, that one bothered me the most. Um but

125
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, I got to learn from it and and uh,

126
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, not try to squeeze the ball into areas

127
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: where there's defenders, especially against really good playmaking secondary and

128
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: uh you know, try to you know, try to score

129
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: more touchdowns in the area and kick less deal goals

130
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: and certainly not turn the ball over. Tom, you said

131
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: it just a minute ago. Defense is playing lights out

132
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: right now. A couple of worthy nominees, but we've decided

133
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: the Needham Bank player of the game yesterday was J. C. Jackson,

134
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: who blocked a punt and also had two interceptions. Can

135
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: you talk about what a find he's been? And all right,

136
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: are you especially motivated to try to get out there

137
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: and have the offense do their job after you see

138
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: the defense given such an incredible effort. They played spectacular

139
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: and Jac's you know, I really like jac and everything

140
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: he's he's done. It's been fun to watch him come

141
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: in and establish a role for himself. He's a really

142
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: good player. You know, he's really has all the tools

143
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: of a great corner and you know he's using them.

144
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: He's catching the ball, gaining confidence. I mean, everyone in

145
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: the secondary is you know, we got we just have

146
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: a really good secondary. We've got a really good group

147
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: of linebackers who've got a really good d line. You know,

148
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: when you play have great players at all levels of

149
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: the defense, you know, it's hard to it's hard to

150
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: score in those defenses. And uh, you know, our defense

151
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: is certainly playing Um, you know, just great football and

152
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: it's great to watch UM and us on offense, we

153
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: got to take advantage of short fields and scoring opportunities

154
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: because we certainly had our fair share. And you know,

155
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: we'll just try to try to find a way to

156
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: go to Washington and score more points than we did yesterday. Well,

157
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: and so speaking of that a quarter of the way

158
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: through the season, if if you had to tell us

159
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: the things that you think you need to improve on,

160
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: what would those be from from an offense perspective, Well,

161
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things we talk about that are

162
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, things that we think we do well or

163
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: things that we don't do well. I'm certainly not going

164
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: to tell people that because it helps the opponent. So

165
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: I kind of know, you know our I think our

166
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: offense knows our Josh knows, and we talk about it

167
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: a lot. So there's there's you know, I mean, no

168
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: team is perfect this time of year. No team is

169
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: you know, this is not the team we're going to

170
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: be in December. But you know, to go on the

171
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: road against a three and oh team and get a

172
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: win as a great feeling. Um, you know, again, I

173
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: wish we would have played better offensively. That would have

174
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: helped us a lot, but we just we didn't execute

175
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: very well and in really any phase, you know, the

176
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: past game, the run game, I mean, it's it's none

177
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: of it was up to you know, our expectation. Um,

178
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: so you know it'll be we'll going there, we'll get coaching.

179
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: We have to do better and and try to go

180
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: out and practice it and then see if we get

181
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: played better next week. Tom, do you find it more

182
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: difficult to game prep or even perform optimally offensively speaking

183
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: when you're going up against a team that has a

184
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: former member of your offensive staff now working for the

185
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: other team. Because Brian day Ball was with you guys

186
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: two different times, and he may know where you know,

187
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: he may know a couple of tricks and secrets from

188
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots playbook. Uh. You know, we've run similar offenses

189
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: to them, and they run a lot of our plays

190
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: and protections. And I think they have a good defense too,

191
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: I mean they I mean, we've never really played well

192
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: against that defense. Now, that's that's the reality. They've always

193
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: done a good job of of, you know, shutting us

194
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: down at different times. So you know, when we play

195
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: those guys, we've got to figure out a formula that works,

196
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: and I think execution is where it starts. You know,

197
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: It's that's part of division opponents too. We know them,

198
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: they know us. You know, we try things that work before,

199
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, we see things we think are going to work,

200
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: and it's just you try them and they don't work,

201
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: and then you move on to something else. So I

202
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't think too much into that. I think there's a

203
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: lot of carryover from team to team of coaches and

204
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: players and so forth. It's just a nature of the NFL.

205
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: I think really it comes down to our execution, our

206
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: ability to move the football on a consistent basis, to

207
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: do things well consistently, to have dependability, to have trust, confidence,

208
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: All those things play a role in offensive football. So

209
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: we got we gotta figure out how to get back

210
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: to playing that way. Nick, you must have some sort

211
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: of a rank question before Tom gets to work. Uh. Yeah, No,

212
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: we're not going to rank anything. I'm not going to

213
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: ask Tom, who is now thirty one in three against

214
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo in his career. I'm not gonna ask him to

215
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: rank his favorite victories against Buffalo yesterday, actually though, that

216
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: was your sixteenth win up there in Orchard Park, which

217
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: is amazing because now you have more wins as a

218
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: quarterback than Drew Head and he started there for three years.

219
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: But Tom, I did want to say, you do owe

220
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: me a dollar because you owe me a buck for

221
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: the square jar because I said something I shouldn't have

222
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: after you threw that pick in the end zone and

223
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: the kids heard me. So I understand totally and I'm

224
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: at fault. I'll pay you. Send me with the address,

225
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: but I'll get you your dollar. We can do Venmo

226
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: or PayPal, whatever's best, at Bitcoin, whatever. But I did

227
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: want to ask you, though, you're trying to break in

228
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: two rookie wide receivers and you may have a third

229
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: one coming back week ten if nikkil Harry does come

230
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: off the injured reserve. Now we know it takes a

231
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: lot of work to gain your trust and to try

232
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: to read the audibles and figure out a way to

233
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: sort of get on the same page with you, But

234
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: when you're trying to break in new receivers, just can

235
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: you take us a little bit behind, like what it

236
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: is you can do to try to figure out what

237
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: their best skills are and how you can get them

238
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: to work at the speed you want them to in

239
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: this offense. I mean, we've had a lot of you know,

240
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: young players over the years, you know, try to come

241
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: into our offense. You know, it's a challenging position because

242
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot that's put on receivers, you know, young players.

243
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,239
Speaker 1: It's probably it's hard to count on. You know, there's

244
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: been a you know, a not a lot of young

245
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: players that have had major contributions in our offense. That's

246
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: just the reality of that position. We have, I think

247
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: a high level of um, you know, communication, high level

248
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: of detail, and I think sometimes it takes guys a

249
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: few years to understand that. So you just you put

250
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: the process in place, and you know, our guys are

251
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: well coached, they've got you know, guys given them great

252
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: instruction and um, you know, my role is to play quarterback,

253
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: and the coaches you know, do a great job preparing

254
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: our guys, and you just try to go out there

255
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: and practice and improve and talk about things, communicate and

256
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: if you make mistakes, you know, you try to you

257
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: try to continue to to work through them. So um,

258
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: you know, offensive footballs, I would say, is always a

259
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: work in progress. It's never it's very rare. You know

260
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: that I've ever had an offense where I'm like, man,

261
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: that's we've got it all figured out. Um, you know

262
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: in the twenty years I've been playing. So you just

263
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: try to try to do what we can do and

264
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, take advantage when we get opportunities

265
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: and try to throw the balls and complete them the

266
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: ones that are there. Try to be smart with the

267
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: ball when you get scoring opportunities. You know, you can't

268
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: turn the ball over in the red area. And uh,

269
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, just h it's a whole lot of things

270
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: that we got to, you know, figure out how to

271
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: do a better job with. All Right, well you're you're

272
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: onto the You're onto the redskins. Um, how is it?

273
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: I want to get to the quarterback question of the week? Um,

274
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: this question is from seven eight one Texter. Uh is it?

275
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: How is that environment to play in down there in DC?

276
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, I've it's been a while since we've

277
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: been down there. I mean a long time. I don't Um, yeah,

278
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: it's it's been a long time. So it's it's a

279
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: big stadium. Um, you know, eighty five thousand people. Um,

280
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people should up for the games,

281
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: but you know, We're expecting a typical NFL road environment,

282
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: and they got a good defense. You know, they got

283
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: good corner, good safety, linebackers, really good front. I mean,

284
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: it's it's going to be another big challenge. So um,

285
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm excited to get into work and try

286
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: to try to learn and improve and get better. And

287
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: that's that's where I'm at this time of year. Tom

288
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: as the as the keeper of the Brady stats here

289
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: for w E. I'm sure you remember the last time

290
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: you played in Washington. You threw the pick you were

291
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: looking for Taekwon Underwood and then you and Bill O'Brien

292
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: had some, shall we say colorful words, a pleasant exchange

293
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: on the sideline they were That was probably the highlight

294
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: and that was probably got the most coverage of that game,

295
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, because of that sideline stat. But you know

296
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: that happens, it's emotional. I think the play of the

297
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: game I remember was Drop Mayo intercepting the ball there

298
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Coach Mayo coming up with a

299
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: huge play to seal the game for us. So that

300
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: was that was one of the great you know, Drod

301
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: Mao game saving plays that I remember him him making,

302
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: and uh, you know that was that was a you know,

303
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: a good game for us to win. So that's what

304
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: we needed. We need another one and try to get

305
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,000
