1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: I would say, as a coach, what do you make 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: in the opportunity that's the front office. There is a 3 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: lot of turnover on the coaching staffs. Or do you 4 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: look at this and sort of a chance to you know, 5 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: step up and improve yourself. It's a great it's a 6 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: great opportunity to you know, those guys who were here 7 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: with us in the past, they were great coaches and 8 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: they they laid the foundation for our football team here, 9 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: um for us who we're here now. We're just trying 10 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: to build the twenty nineteen season. You know, day by 11 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: day is May tenth. We just got our rookies in. 12 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: We're just trying to get those guys better each day, 13 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, each day we're just trying to work hard 14 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: and where those guys, um, you know, just get better 15 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: right now and than all season. Us as coaches, we're 16 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: focused on fundamentals, techniques. Fundamentals and techniques. That's all we're 17 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: worried about and putting together day at the day, week 18 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: after week, month after month, and hopefully we see results. 19 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: So I'm sure you've ben asked us a bunch of 20 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: times what the position has been your focus when you're 21 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: teaching those fundamentals and techniques. Um So again you probably 22 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: hear this from everyone about you know, roles, titles, all 23 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: that stuff that doesn't really matter here in New England. 24 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: It matters about the opportunity that we have. You know, 25 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: I've been working with the front seven guys, I've been 26 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: working with outside linebackers, so that's really the focus of 27 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: the position that I've been been working with and really 28 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: just trying to get each individual that I come in 29 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: contact with to be better than they were the day 30 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: the day they came in. How different might your responsibilities 31 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: be Without getting specific about what you're doing, but when 32 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: you look from what you were doing a year ago 33 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: to what you're doing now, well, each year is different, 34 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: you know two eighteen with two eighteen twenty nineteen to 35 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: be twenty nineteen. So we always look at each year 36 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: as a new year. So whatever the responsibility or the 37 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: opportunity that I have, I'm gonna take it and try 38 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: to run with it and make the best of it. 39 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: I would say that all the thing is we're just 40 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: as a defensive staff, we're just trying to work together, 41 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, work together, put a good product out there 42 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: on the field, and then just try to get ready 43 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: for the twenty nineteen seas. So different years you do 44 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: have different responsibilities that just because as you said, things 45 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: are perpetually different. Yeah, just like last year, I mean 46 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: my title didn't define what my role was or my responsibility. 47 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: Just like this year, my title want to define what 48 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: my role is or my responsibility will be for the team. Um, 49 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: what what's important is the opportunity that I got and 50 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: me taking advantage of the opportunity. Just as the same 51 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: as we tell our players. You know, whatever role you have, 52 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: what role you're gonna do, it's going to be determined 53 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: by you. And so the more you do, the more 54 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: you receive. You so you get what you earn. Time 55 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: are callin by the way, thank you to do market discovities. 56 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: Just working with him, I learned a lot from Brian. 57 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: Brian is uh one of the best coaches I've I've 58 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: been around.
