1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Serfd delay there. We're gonna start with Jimmy Bride. Ask

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: anybody else to raise a hand that has a question

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: for Steve Belichick. Morning, Steve morning, How are you good?

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: How you doing very good? Thank you? Yeah. I wanted

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: to ask you about ray Kwon McMillan, and you know,

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: it's a guy that's kind of in the second year

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: of your program, but really the first year being able

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: to contribute on the field and just what you've seen

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: from him, you know, since since he got here. Uh yeah, um,

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, spent a lot of time with Raquon over

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: the past year and a half. I guess you could

12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: call it him being in the second year, but like

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: you said, first year out on the field, and it's

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: been really awesome to work with Kwan. You know, he's

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: a very he has a very good, good attitude. He's

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: all business. He comes in, he works really hard. He

17
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: has a ton of good questions. He's really energetic and

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: enthusiastic about playing football, which I really appreciate. Always wants

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: to know the why, why are we doing things? And

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: I think that that you'd have to ask him, but

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: I think that that helps him play a little faster

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: when he knows why the other ten guys are doing

23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: what they're doing, so that he can put himself in

24
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: the right spots and understands kind of, um, the places

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: he needs to be and where whereas helps out and

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Obviously last year the the ACL that

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: was pretty unfortunate, UM happening to him. But now to

28
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: have him back this year, um, it's been It's been awesome.

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: I love working with him every day, and not that

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: fourth down stop he made Sunday. If you could just

31
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: kind of take me through like what his responsibility was

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: on that play and how he was able to you know,

33
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: blow it up. Yeah, you know, fourth and fourth and one. Um,

34
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: someone's got to make a play out there, and he

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: obviously was the one who made the play there on

36
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: very instinctubal play. And like I said, I was mentioning earlier,

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, he always asked why, like why is the

38
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: D line doing that? Why are the edge players doing that?

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: Why are the safeties doing that? So he knows, um,

40
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: he can be aggressive in certain areas relative to to

41
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: what we get from the offense. So I think that

42
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: was a good example of of him just knowing exactly

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: where he can be aggressive and its something else happened

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: on a play where he may have needed to, you know,

45
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: be a little bit more conservative. That was a great

46
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: play by him. I didn't have anything to do with it, unfortunately,

47
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: Thanks Steve, Yeah, thank you. Next question to Cotter Reino

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: fall by Evan lasar Hey. Steve, obviously a lot of

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: talk about rough in the pastor today, just wondering as

50
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: a coach, do you think that rule and the ways

51
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: in which it's applied it needs to be tweaked or

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: better to find and just how difficult, if at all,

53
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: is it to coach players on how to play to

54
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: the rule. Yeah, I mean that's kind of the way.

55
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: I guess that's a hot topic today, but you know

56
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of the way it always is with all

57
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: these calls, is like you know that that was a

58
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: soft call on a passenger Ferns, that was a questionable

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: call on the holding. That was flagrant holding what they

60
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: didn't call it? And you know it's it's not our jobs.

61
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: We don't have flags in our pockets. So you know,

62
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: you try and coach it the best you can, but um,

63
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: some of that stuff's not always consistent, which honestly, those

64
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: guys got a tough, tough job to do. Also. UM,

65
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: So I mean you try and show examples of that

66
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: type of stuff throughout the league the best you can

67
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: and uh and try and you know, illustrate a picture

68
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: of of what of where it's trending and uh, but

69
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, you can't can't speak too

70
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: much on that. You gotta ask those guys. But I'm

71
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: a defensive guy, so I think that I think you

72
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: know where I stand on those Um. And just one other,

73
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: one other question on Julani Tavai just you know, kind

74
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: of guy to maybe under the radar a bit this summer,

75
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: but has played a big role for you guys and

76
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: it seems to be playing well. So I just kind

77
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: of wonder what do you think about the way how

78
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: he's done this season? Yeah, Tava has been great. Um, yeah,

79
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: you know he's been He's been on our radar here

80
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: for a while. UM. I've understanding I have a different

81
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: exposure to him than you do. So UM, but yeah,

82
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: he's a he's a really great kid. He's a smart kid. Um.

83
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: He loves football, so just like all the all the

84
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: guys in our building do, but you know, he enjoys it.

85
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: He loves just being out there and playing and competing

86
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: regardless of of you know, where He is like, you know,

87
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: if we need to get a subbing there for a

88
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: play at safety, he's always like, do you want me

89
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: to take it? Like you want me to run out there.

90
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, sometimes yes, we do need it too.

91
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: Other times it's like, now we're good without you this play.

92
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: But um, you know, he's very very energetic, has a

93
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: ton of good energy out there on the field, really smart,

94
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: really versatile, can do a lot of different things. He's

95
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: a really good athlete. Um, he's strong, he's big, he's athletic.

96
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: So um, he's a valuable piece to our to our

97
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: football team across the board. Love work, went to buy everything.

98
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: Great kid, great, thank you, thank you. Next question you're

99
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: on is our fault by Chris Ryan. Hey, Steve has

100
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: going good? How you doing good? I wanted to ask

101
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: you about Christian Barmore and just his role in the

102
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: in the pass rush package that you guys I usually

103
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: have and I correct me if I'm wrong, but it

104
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: seems like a lot of the time he's you know,

105
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: taken on a lot of blocks on the interior of

106
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: double teams. And stuff like that. How do you kind

107
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: of balance you know, that role with maybe you know,

108
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: he's such a talented player, kind of hunting for those

109
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: one on one matchups for a guy like Christian in

110
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: the past Rush in particular. Yeah, I mean, I wish

111
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: I could predict what the protections are and what the

112
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: what the offense is going to do and how they're

113
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: gonna block it. But unfortunately, I'm not that kind of

114
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: a coach yet. So I'll keep trying to figure that out.

115
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: But we're just trying and put out put out a

116
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: good rush. Um, however we can get to it and

117
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: whoever they single up, and you know, we need that

118
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: got to win. So I don't know, it looks like

119
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: the last question, but Chris Ryan, Hey, Steve, are you good?

120
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: I do good? Um, just wanted to get your take

121
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: on Cleveland, kind of getting into them a little bit.

122
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: What type of challenges they present. What's the uh the

123
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: challenge for you guys this week is a defense? Uh yeah,

124
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think it starts with starts with their

125
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: run game. Um, it's a very very strong run game. Um.

126
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: They got really to the two of the better backs

127
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: in the league in my opinion, So Um, you know,

128
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: we really gotta gotta do a good job. They got

129
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: a lot of good, good alignment up front. So when

130
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: you got good, good blockers and good runners, then that's

131
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: that's a huge challenge in itself. And then you combine

132
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: that with with the real good run scheme, then you know,

133
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: just stuff just piles on here pretty quickly. So they

134
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: got they got a lot of good, good players there

135
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: in the run game. Then they got a you know,

136
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: really efficient quarterback in Jacoby, and then they got talented

137
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: players that's brow the ball too outside, whether it's you know, Cooper,

138
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: the tight end, Joeku, and and they got a lot

139
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: of a lot of different weapons. Like I said, they're

140
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: in a an offense. They stay on track really well,

141
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: they don't really go backwards much, and they're always moving

142
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: the ball forward. So we got our hands full. And

143
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: you know it always starts with stop on the run.

144
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: So those guys are going to be a big challenge.

145
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: But if we even if we just take care of

146
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: the wrung game, then there's there's the whole of their

147
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: elements to their to their offense, which is just as dangerous.

148
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: So we'll ever hands full, got do a good job

149
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: tackling as always every week, so you know we're excited

150
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: about the opportunity and time to get back to work here.

151
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: Thanks appreciate, thanks. He good to
