1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Tom Mutt and Evan, how are you this morning? I

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: warn all right, So someone who has not seen Hamilton's

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: sell me on it. Since you've seen it what three

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: times now, including during the bye week. Yeah, it's pretty good.

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. It's um I saw it in New

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: York first time, maybe a couple of years ago, and

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: then it took my kids about a year ago, and

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: then my sister invited me to the one here. So

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, it's a great show. I think

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: it's something for everyone. It's it's kind of inspirational. M

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's a great history lesson and um, you know,

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool to see just other people performing at

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: their very best and people at the top of their field,

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: and um, I always kind of enjoyed those things. So

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: it was nice. Nice to get out of the house

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: and do something like that. Tom, I saw the quote

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: where you said you'd love to do that show just

18
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: for a week or something like that. Is anything serious

19
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: to that would you actually consider if they offered? You know?

20
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: I actually when I was in eighth grade, I was

21
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: in the school play and and I won work for

22
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Best Drama a student in the school, and I always

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: enjoyed the performances and you know, just remembering lines and

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: getting on stage and you know, it's kind of like

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: it was for Saturday and Saturday Night Lives in a way,

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: you know, you it's very similar to football. You know,

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: you put the prep in, you know, in a way,

28
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: you practice everything and you go through it and you're

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: working with the team and you know you got one

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: chance to perform, and you know you kind of all

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: that energy and emotion for a couple hours, you know,

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: in their case a day. For us in football, you know,

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: you got three hours a week that you try to,

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, build your emotional, mental, physical energy for and

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: then you go put it out there and you do it,

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, in a live performance, and you know you

37
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: can't really you try not to make mistakes, although you

38
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: know you'll never be perfect. So I just think there's

39
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: a lot of correlations. So I always think and I

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: have a great appreciation for those types of things. All right,

41
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: what was the play you won the award for? You

42
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: must know that it was. It was The Wizard of

43
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: Oz and I was the Cowardly Lion. Really, yeah, it was.

44
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: It was I had singing and I was kind of

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: a big part of that rise, you know, the lines

46
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: a pretty big character in that particular show. He's one

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: of the Big Three. I would say that there. He's

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: part of that big three. So you did, You did

49
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: all the stuff, you laughed, you sang along, and you

50
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: won the award. Yeah, and I had a great time

51
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: doing it. So it's just it's fun to do. And

52
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: my middle son is very much into drama and performance

53
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: arts and so forth, so it'll be probably a lot

54
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: of that in our future. You said SNL, You've obviously

55
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: done that before. Do you expect to do it again? Tom,

56
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: They reached out to you to do SNL recently. Still

57
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: have a lot of athletes on there. Yeah, they do,

58
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: I haven't. You know. It was it was a great experience.

59
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: They've never asked me to do it again. Um, you know,

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: but I always enjoy that show. It's kind of like

61
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: the first time you do anything, though, you know, you

62
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: there's a you know, there's a I really had no

63
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: expectation for that particular show that was in two thousand

64
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: and five, I think, and ended up being a great

65
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: week because I didn't know what to expect and I

66
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: just kind of had fun with it and I was

67
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: actually when the show was over, I was a little

68
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: bit disappointed because I realized that even if I didn't

69
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: have a chance to do it again, I would do

70
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: it with expectation. And I think that's just great at

71
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: that moment of time in my life where I could

72
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: do something without you know, really knowing what it was

73
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: all about, and still enjoying it and having a great time.

74
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: So if they did call back and say, Tom, we

75
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: want you to do it again, would you consider doing again?

76
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. It's you know, it's

77
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: hard an offseason now for me because that's a whole

78
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: week of time, and it's hard to give that, you know,

79
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: like for my family to give that up because so

80
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: much of my years spent with football, you know, basically

81
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: every day for whatever six seven months. So it's hard

82
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: to say, all guys, I'm going to go off and

83
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: do another week of something that you know, I've really

84
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: done before and again. I think it's a great show,

85
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: but probably unlikely that I'll probably do it again. Time

86
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: you've you've done cameos and entourage and family guying things

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: like that. How many acting opportunities do you turn down?

88
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean, do you get a lot through your agents

89
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: that you just can't do or won't do. Um, I

90
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: get different, you know, opportunities definitely, and my agent will

91
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: call me and ask me if I'd like to do

92
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: certain things. I typically don't do them, you know, I, Um,

93
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: it's not something that I just it's something that I

94
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: think if a friend asked, you know. And I've done

95
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: like a couple of things from Mark Wahlberg or um,

96
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: you know someone gots from back here. Um, I've done

97
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: a few things with them, but just in general, it's

98
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: a long way to way. I mean, most of those

99
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 1: things film about Andrew Listen being here on the East Coast,

100
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: it's hard to make it out there. And I feel

101
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: like I'm on TV every week. I mean on Sunday,

102
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm you know, I'm I'm based ically you know,

103
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, a reality TV show every Sunday afternoon for

104
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: three hours. So I feel like I'm on TV enough

105
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: in the fall in winter. So when you weren't hanging

106
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: out with the family and Ed Hamilton over the bye week, Tom,

107
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: how much of it was self scouting? We heard you

108
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: would Jim Gray talk about your season and how it's

109
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: gone so far. How would you put your season. With

110
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: the team now at seven and three, how would you

111
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: describe your play so far in these first ten games. Well,

112
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, we're we're working through certain

113
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: things and we're you know, we're seven and three. We

114
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: got our biggest games ahead of us. I don't think

115
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: that we're you know, we played our best football, so

116
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: this is the time of year. We've got a great

117
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: opportunity ahead of us. And took a lot of time

118
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: this weekend to watch the entire season a couple of times.

119
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: You know, we just had a lot of communication with

120
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: our coaches, and I had a lot of guys to

121
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: the weekend to let their minds kind of uh, you know,

122
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: really be free of football for a few days. So

123
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited to start this week. We're in today and

124
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: we makesually work all week and then we head to

125
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: New York. And this time of year football season really

126
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: flies by because you know, you've got the holidays and

127
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: you've got a lot of things going on. But you know, we,

128
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: like I said, it's just we put ourselves in a

129
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: decent position. It's not perfect by any means. I don't

130
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: think we've played we've played perfectly, but I think we

131
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: built to this point where we're in a position to,

132
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, start playing our best, and that's really up

133
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: to us. There's there's no way to just talk your

134
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: way into it. You got to do it, and I

135
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: think we've all got to take the commitment to doing

136
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: it and being our best every day and to bring

137
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: out our competitive stamina to practice, to the meetings and

138
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: ultimately to the one day a week where accounts and

139
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: the rector books, which is on Sundays. Tommy, when you

140
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: say you you're looking back on your season, is that

141
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: literally every play? Is that something you hold He's done

142
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: in the bye week was a little different this year. Yeah, No,

143
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: I've kind of do it every year. And I've watched

144
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: a lot of cap this year like I always do

145
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: on our offense, and you know, I have a great

146
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: communication with Josh and you know he does the same,

147
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: and you know, we're just trying to figure out ways

148
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: to move the ball down the fielding school points and

149
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: some weeks it's been easier than others, and you know,

150
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: some weeks it's been tough, and hopefully we can put

151
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: it all together, you know, put all the put all

152
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: the pieces in place and start playing the football that

153
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: I think we're capable of Well, I know you mentioned

154
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: with Greg Badard last week you're talking about relationship with

155
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: receivers and you brought up Danny Amndoland. I'm curious when

156
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: you get into this point in the season, Tom and

157
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: you know that chemistry you need. Can you work on

158
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: it during the season? Is that just an off season

159
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, mini camp Ota thing? How does it? How

160
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: do you establish that with such a limited practice schedule

161
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: during the week. Well, I think you work on it

162
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: every single day. And I think my point to Greg

163
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: when I spoke to him, you know when you put

164
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: start years and years of accumulated reps together, I mean

165
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: that's where you really see a payoff. You can drawn experiences,

166
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, many years ago, running similar plays or slightly

167
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: different plays, but you can you have a library of

168
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: things that have happened. And I certainly have that with

169
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: Julian or Drunk for other guys that I've h James White,

170
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean, guys that I've played with for multiple years.

171
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: I think you just it just gets better and better

172
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: every year, and you have a great rapport with guys.

173
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: And because the reality is it's possible to practice everything

174
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: that's going to come up in the game. At some

175
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: point you've got to rely on instincts and playmaking ability

176
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: to take over when things become unscripted in a way

177
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: and the coaches can't call a perfect play. You know,

178
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: it's really up to us on the field to you know,

179
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: adapt to circumstances and situations that you may or may

180
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: not be talked about in a given week, but maybe

181
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: we talked about it a year ago, or maybe we

182
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: talked about three years ago or seven years ago. And

183
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: when you can draw on those experiences, you know, I

184
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a great benefit, you know, and

185
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: it's just when you get different players, that's just the

186
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: reality of football. Things change every you don't keep the

187
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 1: same team every year. You're injuries, you know, GUIs in

188
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: and out of the lineup, you know, a different times,

189
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: adapting to situations and playing maybe out of position, all

190
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: those things just come up. And really football is about

191
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: how you adapt to those things. And you know, we've,

192
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: like I said, different times this year, we've done a

193
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: good job adapting and other times we've been less than

194
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: our best, and I think that's really been reflected in

195
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: our record. And you know, certain games we just have

196
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: played poorly, especially on the road, and you know, we

197
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: got to figure out how to get that corrected in

198
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: a very short period of time. Just you know, there's

199
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: probably very few teams that have it, certain teams. I

200
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: was there point really right now, and that's great. We've

201
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: been there too at certain times. But you know, we're

202
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: just going to keep building and and put one day,

203
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, on top of one day and executing really

204
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: well at practice. And again, for example, we practice tomorrow,

205
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, to get ready to Friday,

206
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: get ready to play Sunday, and then try to do

207
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: it all over again. That's you know, that's what our

208
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: mindset has to be. Well. With the Patriots off, it

209
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: was a quiet week around here until yesterday morning. Adam

210
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: Schefter reported the Cleveland Browns, Tom we're interested in interviewing

211
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: Condoleeza Rice for their head coaching job. And you know,

212
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: Jerry and I and Evan have discussed this morning. What

213
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: do you think of when you what was your reaction

214
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: when you heard that yesterday? And do you see a

215
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: day where a female coach is on a sideline potentially

216
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: a head coach in your league? I don't know, you know,

217
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: I know Condoleeza. I've been around here a few times,

218
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: and she's such an impressive person, and you know, she's

219
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: a great leader, and you know, just a wonderful woman,

220
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: and you know she's incredibly smart. And who knows, I mean,

221
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: whoever gets you know, I'm a as these you know,

222
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: owners get to decide who they get to hire, so

223
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: you know, those things are up to them, and they

224
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: can really hire wherever they want. It's their business. Yeah,

225
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: it's interesting because I think the reaction was, you know,

226
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: if it's going to happen, it would it would be

227
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: different than just someone you know who's likes football, be

228
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: somebody would start in a lower coaching staff or it

229
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: is starting they sort of move up the ranks the

230
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: way other coaches have. If that happened, could you could

231
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: you see it if it if it went that way

232
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: instead of just somebody off the street the way this

233
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: was you know, positioned yesterday by Adam Schefter. You usually

234
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: see in football, you're right, coaches work their way up.

235
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: You know, someone like Mike Rabel, you know he's worked

236
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: his way up pretty quickly. Or Sean McVay. I mean

237
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: he's a really young coach, but he's been in coaching

238
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: his entire life. Um, you know, it's a it's a

239
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: tough job. I mean, these coaches work their tails off

240
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: and you know, it's really a life and committed to football.

241
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: As you know. You see who I think the best

242
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: coach ever, Coach Belichick. What he's you know, his coaching

243
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: football and he's great at it. Many years of um

244
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, just preparation and study and getting better at

245
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: really his craft. And that's what we're all trying to do.

246
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm certainly trying to do as a quarterback. And you know,

247
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: again it's it's it's a big commitment to be a coach.

248
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: I know that for certain. I know Rob Gronkowski, the

249
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: report was he's expecting to play this week. You expect

250
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: to have your tight end back against the jetstyle. We'll see,

251
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean he's it's we'll see how

252
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: it goes. I mean, if we haven't in practice this week, Um,

253
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: but I know he's itching to get back. He's and

254
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: he's a big difference maker when he's on the field.

255
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: So I hope he's out there. But you know, those

256
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: things are up to the trainers and coaches and enough

257
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: to Rob and see how it feels, and um, you know,

258
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: we have practice week and see what we'll see what

259
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: we can do. They haven't been great for a couple

260
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: of years, so the Jets still feel like one of

261
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: your big rivals. I know, the division team, but there

262
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: was a while there were men it was every single game,

263
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan was there. Do you still get that feeling

264
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Jets weak? I do, because I think they know us

265
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: really well. There. They've actually built you know, they got

266
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: a lot of good defenders and they've kind of invested

267
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: a lot in their defense. Um. I know they drafted

268
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: Sam As a very high pick on offense, but you

269
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: know they've addressed their defense quite a bit. The guys

270
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: in the secondary linebacker. Um, you know, they got a

271
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: good scheme. You know, I really like coach Bulls and

272
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: his approach. He's always been a very steady kind of

273
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: force for that organization. And I know, um, you know,

274
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: they they've they've struggled a bit at times, but I

275
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: mean I think they're a very good team that plays hard,

276
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: and you know, playing in New York, you know, it's

277
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: it's always a tough game. I mean, that's just the

278
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: way it goes. So we really got to focus on

279
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: what we got to do in our execution has to

280
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: be a lot better than the last time we were

281
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: on the road. And well, whatever it takes us to

282
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: get to that next level, you know, we gotta make that.

283
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: We gotta make that leap time down for the QB

284
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: question in the week. All right, Uh, Nate Ebner went

285
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: to Ohio State, Ohio State Michigan. What's the bet? What's

286
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: the play this week? I'm gonna see him today And

287
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: I've lost too many years of bets to Ohio State guys,

288
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: to Michigan State guys. But this is our year, baby,

289
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: this is our year. We're gonna this is our year

290
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: where we gotta take to the next level of Michigan.

291
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: So they got a great chance going to the horse

292
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: Shoe and I think we're gonna kick their butt. We

293
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: got a great defense and I can't wait to watch it.

294
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun games. We'll see if we're

295
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: wearing an Ohio State jersey around gillet the next couple

296
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: of weeks, see that will never happen. Michigan, Michigan winning

297
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: this one. There you go. That is Tom Brady guaranteeing

298
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: win for the Wolverines this weekend. Tom, Thanks, we'll talk

299
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: to you next week. Great thanks guys,
