1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, Good to see you again. How are you

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: doing it? Good? Glenn Kristen for another another round? So

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: how many years is this for you now? Doing? Like

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: forty three or forty four years since you started with Detroit?

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: Is that right? Forty four started balling round? It's not

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: a lot Baltimore, Excuse me. That is unbelievable. Um, how

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: much of this is has changed for you? And obviously

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: you still love it or you wouldn't be doing it,

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: so you're still around. How much of it is different

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: than when you first started doing it? Oh, it's a

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: lot different. Yeah, it's a lot different, but um, it's

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: still fun. I enjoy coaching, I enjoy our team. So yeah,

13
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm still here. I think every I think every every

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: every you know, guy over forty probably wishes that the

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: rules and regulations would be different and we all feel

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: like we could have gotten maybe you know, three or

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: four more years squeezed in, just based on your practice squad.

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: There was this article about the Jacksonville Jaguars and their

19
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: first inaugural season, how they went up to Wisconsin practice

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: up there with Tom Coughlin. What do they call it,

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: like the Cheese League or something like that. Because all

22
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: the teams that were up there, we just talked about

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: how difficult it wasn't how long the practices were, And

24
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: if you tried to throw that out there to the

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: players today, I think they would just revolt. I think

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: those guys try to revolt, but to no avail. You know, well,

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of things different than the seventies,

28
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: eighties and ninety two thousands. So, um, but we're we're

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: grinding our way through campus year and so can you

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: still call it a grind? With that, with that what

31
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: they used to do. Yeah, well it's not what it

32
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: used to be, but it's still you know, it's it's

33
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: a lot of competition, a lot of work. Um, you

34
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: guys are guys are competing hard out there, so not

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna make it. So I think that the mental

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: part of it's still grinding. You don't know if you're

37
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: gonna make the team or thirty seven guys. You know,

38
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to release thirty seven guys like every

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: other team. So that's that's not a mental metal stress coach.

40
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: You've got so much six right, You've had seasons like this.

41
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: We come in following a Super Bowl win and the

42
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: famously just turned the page. This team hasn't accomplished much,

43
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: and I'm just curious it's all based on life experience.

44
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: Was there a moment that that kind of thought process

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: crossed your mind. I was looking like eighty six giants,

46
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: You guys won the Super Bowl. The next year you

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: started off all win five. I know Sim's got hurt

48
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: that year, but was that sort of did you feel

49
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: like a team lost focus? Was there a team in

50
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: the past, maybe O two with Christian that you started

51
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: feeling like, Okay, this isn't gonna happen again. I need

52
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: to send this message to this team. They haven't accomplished anything. Yeah.

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: I think every years a new year or so, but

54
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: there wasn't a team or a lesson learned in the past.

55
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: Thank you learn lessons every year they didn't want ever

56
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: that that they didn't want ever give you advice like

57
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: a young may say an older coach who had been

58
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: in a similar situation had listen, I made this mistake.

59
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: Make sure you send this message to your team. You

60
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: don't don't take debate on on this personality or this philosophy. Yeah,

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: I think since I can remember, that's what it's always

62
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: been a new year, a new opportunity and make the

63
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: most of this year. So when you say every year

64
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: is a new year, and it's obviously worked for you,

65
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: and you get subtractions from your team like Gronk, and

66
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: you've get additions where you're adding a couple of linebackers.

67
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: When you look at it and you formulate what you

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: want to do both offensively and defensively, what is that like?

69
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: Do you look at different guys skill set, This guy

70
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: can do that, that guy can do that. How much

71
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: changes from year to year based on that? I mean

72
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: some I'm not sure you know. Some of it's what

73
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: you're going to be facing, what you have to do

74
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: against your opponents, of certain things that you're going to

75
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: need over the course of the year. And you look

76
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: at your team and see how where you feel like

77
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the strengths of weaknesses of your team are. But we

78
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: don't really know those for a while, so it'll still

79
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: be a couple of months before we can really really

80
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: know that for sure. So it's a little bit of

81
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: work in progress. But you got to start somewhere. You

82
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: start with your basics fundamentals, and you hope that wherever

83
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: you need to go to that you can fall back

84
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: on those fundamental principles, you know Glenn mentioned, uh, you know,

85
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: addition and subtraction, guys coming, guys going, Gronk obviously being

86
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: one of them. Were you surprised at all that he retired?

87
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Was that something that you knew was going to happen?

88
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: Or was it Did you just call you up one

89
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: day and say, I think I'm done? Oh yeah, I

90
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: mean I've talked to Rob you know a number of

91
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: times over the past few years or so. But look,

92
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: you know, every player has to make that decision, you

93
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: know better than anybody, So you had to do it.

94
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: I was forced to do it. Well, I was curious

95
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: because the other thing is that, you know, with Gronk,

96
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: with a lot of guys like the Nikovitches of the world,

97
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: Troy Brown's Teddy Um, you know, they had like a

98
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, some sort of press conference associated with the

99
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: team where they came up and they thanked everybody. Not

100
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: so much a guy like Willie who went and played

101
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: for another team. Is are we gonna see that with

102
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Gronk at all? I feel like that's something that hasn't

103
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: happened with him. I think I was curious to know

104
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: would you guys plan on doing that, there's gonna be

105
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: a red jacket same way, maybe at halftime to honor him,

106
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: or he's just gonna let it play out. Yeah, I'm

107
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: not really sure, Christian, I'm not really I'm just trying

108
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: to focus on getting our team ready to go this year.

109
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm not really into though, you know, all the planning

110
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: of events and all that. You know, Teddy retired during

111
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: the season, so Rob after Theory training games started, so

112
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: I would say those situations were a little bit different.

113
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: You know, Coach. One thing, I was watching that game

114
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. I know the new rule, the pass interference,

115
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: and you can challenge him. You've talked about it before

116
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: being able to is that something that you are trying

117
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: to get accustomed to, because I think it was a

118
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: play Jacobe Myers looked like the guy grabbed his arm.

119
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: There was no challenge. I'm just wondering, is that something

120
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: that you guys are working your way through too, and

121
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: challenging these types of passing afference calls. Yeah. I think

122
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things we're working our way through

123
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: as a staff and individual players. Again, it's just getting

124
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: back into the I'll flow the game decision making, So well, yeah,

125
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: that's part of what four preseason games are for, is

126
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: to smooth things out on our end on a game

127
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: day operation and to chart to play as competitively as

128
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: we can. For the coaching staff, that includes making good

129
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: decisions and adjustments and all those things that go with them.

130
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: So I'm guessing that you're glad you have an opportunity

131
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: to at least challenge a play like that could impact

132
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: the game or whatever the rules are there. You've never

133
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: been shy about bringing people back. Patrick Chung came back

134
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: here and he was better second time around than he

135
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: was the first time. Jamie Collins, Brandon Bolden coming back

136
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: right now, what do you look at with players like

137
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: that in bringing them back? Obviously you know their ability,

138
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 1: but why do you think sometimes in the case of Chunk,

139
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: that the player is that much better just because he's older,

140
00:06:53,839 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: more mature, understands more of what you want him to do. Yeah,

141
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, every situation is different. It's a Patrick's case.

142
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't feel like I did a great

143
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: job with him the first time he was here, and

144
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: I think the second time the coaching was better. So

145
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: planet's probably better too. But I think the coaching was better. So,

146
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: but each case is a little bit different, so we'll

147
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: see how it goes. It's Jamie different this time around.

148
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: Jamie has been great. Yeah, he's been great. So glad

149
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: we have him. Think he'll help us. I feel like

150
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: it's a good addition to our team. Well, sometimes a

151
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: player leaves in obviously he got paid, he got paid. Well,

152
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: you dealt him. He got paid and he got a

153
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: lot of money. Once they get their money. Do you

154
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: think sometimes when a player comes back that they are

155
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: a little bit different, maybe it works out better. They

156
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: want to win again. Yeah, you have to ask him that.

157
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, you know, Brandon or Pat, you'd have

158
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: to ask them that. I'm not really sure what their

159
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: thought processes on that. So I'm not sure if you

160
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: ever talked about this. But Gerardmeo coming back I've obviously

161
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: been a big topic. Did he approach you to uh,

162
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, listen, I'm interested in coaching, or was this

163
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: something where you would see him and knowing you know,

164
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: what a great impact he had on other players and

165
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: how well he was running that defense that you would

166
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: say that did you ever recruit him at all? Or

167
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: was it you know, mutual. You know, you guys bumped

168
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: into each other one day said hey, coaching would be fun. Hey, hey,

169
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: I have I have a spot opening. All right, Well,

170
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: I've kept in contact with Gerard and a lot of

171
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: other players that have been here since they stopped playing. So, um,

172
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: you know, it just worked out. So let's leave it

173
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: at that. So if an ex player that played with

174
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: you for a short period of time would want to

175
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: coach it, what would he have to do? I have

176
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: to get out of the media. Oh so first I

177
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: have to quit. Okay, that's what Mayo did. Yeah, well,

178
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: when you think about, you know, players that are become

179
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: that are good defensive coordinates our head coaches, is it

180
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: fair to say that guys like Available playing that VABA

181
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: wasn't a mic, but Gerard Mayo, you know, maybe a

182
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: strong safety. He's in charge of the secondary, because Mayo

183
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: would if when he was playing, he wasn't monitoring what

184
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: the secondary was doing, right, it was mostly just the

185
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: linebackers in the front. I think you're all pretty much

186
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: knew what every player on the field was doing. Was

187
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: he that type of guy? I just knew, Yeah, that

188
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: was a very smart football player and had a lot

189
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: of command on the field. Are you surprised by the

190
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: transition how quickly it is, because I think, I mean,

191
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: even Charlie Weiss was on Serious Satellite Radio was talking

192
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 1: about there's no way, and I'm paraphrases here that a

193
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: guy coming out for the first year of coach he

194
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: could ever be a defensive coordinator. Yeah, well that's not

195
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: his title. Sorry, I'm sorry, but a guy coming out

196
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: the street could ever become a defensive will call plays

197
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: for a defense and I know maybe he's doing it.

198
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how the process works. I know it's

199
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: not his title, but I think that everyone thinks that

200
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: he will be the defensive coordinator or just how hard

201
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: it is for a a guy off the street to

202
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: come and call plays even if he doesn't have the title. Yeah,

203
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: we have a lot of good coaches on our staff,

204
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of good defensive coaches, you know,

205
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: Mike and Stevens, Secondary and DeMarcus and Darted, the inside

206
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: and outside linebackers, Bright with the defensive line, Brian a

207
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: quality of control. So we have a good staff. And

208
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: now we'll see that goes. Do you need one guy

209
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: to call those plays? Or za canneppy in game? Then

210
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: he said, you have some involvement earlier year. Yeah, yeah,

211
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: we'll do it's best for the football team. So you've

212
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: had some pretty good defenses here, obviously you've coached them

213
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: in the past, and I think everyone's looking at this

214
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: defense wondering if it could be that special group again.

215
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: Do you do you look at this with some of

216
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: the experience and the guys coming back, lineback and cord

217
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: line secondary that this team has the ability to have

218
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: one of those special defenses as well. Yeah. I think

219
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: right now we're just thinking about, you know, having a

220
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: good day to day, having a good day, having a

221
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: good week in Tennessee, and just taking them one step

222
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: at the time. There's a lot of things we got

223
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: to work on, so we'll see it all comes together.

224
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, you've had a good track record of

225
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: grabbing undrafted free agents and those guys being very, very productive.

226
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: Football is also a business. We were talking earlier about

227
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: how everything is shorter now you don't have the same

228
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: type of doubled two days and everything else a sampling

229
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: to see all these players. Is it more difficult to

230
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: be able to analyze that undrafted free agent in that

231
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: it's a business and that if it's a first round,

232
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: second round, third round, even a fourth round draft pick,

233
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: those guys, you pretty much have got to find a

234
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: way of making that roster. And yet you've had great

235
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: success with these guys, a lot of them make the team. Yeah,

236
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: we've had good teams, and those teams aren't easy to make.

237
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: But you know, look at the competitive situation. Yeah, if

238
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: there's fewer practices and fewer games, yeah, a fewer looks

239
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: at them, and so you have a little less information

240
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: to make a decision on. But it's the same for

241
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: all thirty two teams. So you know, we're all looking

242
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: at the same number of practices, the same number of

243
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: preseason games, same opportunities. So just have to try to

244
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: make good decision in the in the framework that we

245
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: have to work in. But I know you're trying to

246
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: get the best player, and yet the undrafted free agent,

247
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: if you get a short period of time to evaluate him,

248
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: that second round draft pick, because it's a business decision,

249
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty much got to make the team. And with

250
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: a shorter schedule. Now I'm wondering, do you have to

251
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: make an him. I wouldn't say impulsive decision, but you

252
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: have to make that evaluation and I'm much shorter period

253
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: of that undrafted guy. A lot of teams passed on him.

254
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: Can this guy be good for our team? Right? I mean, well,

255
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: you have to make that decision on all all ninety players.

256
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: So it's it's not just one category, it's every single guy.

257
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter you know, how long he's been here

258
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: or what roundy was drafted in or was traded for

259
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: anything else. You've got how many practices we have, how

260
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: many preseason games these the player plays in. It's justn't

261
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: always the same for all of them. So if a

262
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: player work to be injured with some time, um, you

263
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: just have less information to go on. But again, every

264
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: team in the league dealing with the same thing, so

265
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: you just do the best you can. You know. Brady

266
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: was on this morning with our new morning show, The

267
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: Great Hill Show, and one of the questions was you

268
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: know they asked Brady was about his I guess his

269
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: best throw over his career, and a couple came to

270
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: mind that the past in Miami to Troy Brown. Um,

271
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: he meant. Brady mentioned a couple that he had and

272
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: one was when he threw it off as but I

273
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: forgot who we completely Cincinnati. Is there is there one that?

274
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: Is there a pass that that you can remember where

275
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: you go? Wow? That was a really difficult, challenging play,

276
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: tough coverage. I'm sure there's a bunch. Is there one

277
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: in particular that stands out more than or you can

278
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: name five? He's made a few, He's made a lot. Yeah,

279
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: he's made a lot. Yeah. Well, look the one where

280
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: you fell down in the super Bowl and that was

281
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: that was you. You're welcome. I put that on a

282
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: d for you like that. Yeah, I would say that

283
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: was probably one of his best throws. I'm glad I

284
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: could be a part of that. You know, it was

285
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: a good read. I don't say it's a hard throw,

286
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: but it's a good read, did Givons? Yeah, and he

287
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: was patient with me too. He waited for me to

288
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: get up, all right. He looked for you, then he

289
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: looked for Dion. Dion was double. Then he had good

290
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: goots not to Givns made a back shoulder throw. So look,

291
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: Tom said, you know hundreds of great throws, so I

292
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: think it'd be hard for me to single out one.

293
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding about that too, Chris, and I, you know,

294
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: I like I was giving him the Bill Belichick stare, Yeah,

295
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: I thought you wanted me to say that the coach.

296
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: You get your your first look at a young quarterback,

297
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: Jared's did him in a game right, preseason game? Is

298
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: there one thing you look for in a young quarterback

299
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: first time you get to see him in that action

300
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: that you know makes you feel better about him or

301
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: not like one thing in particularly because I'm sure there's

302
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: some things you say with experience, this will always improve.

303
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: But when you get your first look, that's something that's different. Well,

304
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: there's eleven other guys out there, ten other guys out

305
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: there with them, plus eleven on the other side of

306
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: the field. So there's a lot of variables, a lot

307
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: of multiples. Some things can go right or wrong that

308
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: he has nothing to do with. So yeah, it's it's,

309
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: um not an easy process, and we can always do

310
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: the best we can to evaluate each player, and um,

311
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, try to take into considerations some of the

312
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: other things that are going on around them, which sometimes good,

313
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: adversely or positively affect them. All Right, you head to

314
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: Nashville tomorrow and you'll take on the Titans later on

315
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: the week, but you're gonna practice for a couple of

316
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: days this week. How much more do you gain out

317
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: of these practices as opposed to just facing that team

318
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: on a weekend in a preseason game. Oh a lot.

319
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of one on ones that you know,

320
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: you're going up against different people and talented people on

321
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: the other team that are you know, we've seen plenty

322
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: of one on once against ourselves, but it's good to

323
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: see those some of the group drills, having on seven drolls,

324
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: things like that where you again get multiple looks at

325
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: your players against other players and other schemes and then

326
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: the team's drolls in situational football, third down, red area blitzes,

327
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: two minute things like that that just give you more

328
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: reps at those things. So, um, there's a lot of

329
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: a lot of good that comes out of it, and

330
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: you don't get all those in the games, so you

331
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: still have the game. So whatever you get from the game,

332
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: you get from it. But um, you know, I think

333
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: even you can work with coaches like coach Patricia, coach

334
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: Frable and those those organizations that they can be really productive.

335
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: So you had bon Jovi out of practice. You also

336
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: had Bruce Cassidy came out there today. M Bruce talked

337
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: about about how you guys talked about rebounding from a

338
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: big loss. Is there anything you can share that you

339
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: guys had as far as the advice that you gave

340
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: him or yeah, no, I don't think so. I tried. Okay, Um,

341
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: you guys got anything else? No, We're gonna go to

342
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: the all favorite question. This is called the drive of

343
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: the week. Coach one preseason game had a lot of

344
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: great drives. Both quarterbacks played really well. Young guys made

345
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: some plays. What was your drive of the week. Well,

346
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's always good when you can turn them

347
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: all over on the other side of the fifty. You know,

348
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: on Simon's interception punching for a touchdown. So that was

349
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: a good sequence. You know. John Simon's the guy that

350
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: I feel like he's just sneaky under the radar. Contributed

351
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: a lot last year. You played at a house State

352
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: Vrabel coached him. Seems like he's in that mold of

353
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: the Nikovich Vrabel types. Is that a fair assessment to

354
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: him as far as what his responsibilities. He's good into

355
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: the line player. He's tough, very physical, smart too, right,

356
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: very smart, Yeah, very instinctive player. He's got good experience,

357
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: he's been in some different systems, and like you said,

358
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: he's been coached by Mike both at Ohio State and

359
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: with the Texans. So yeah, he did a good job

360
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 1: for us last year. Came in early part of the season,

361
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: but um learned the defense contributed a lot to it.

362
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: It's obviously way ahead of it this year. About being

363
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: here from you no Day one, all the way through

364
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: the off season program in the spring. So yeah, John's

365
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: John's on top of it. All right, we're off and running. Bill,

366
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: have a good one. You got it. Thank you very much,

367
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick right here on OMF
