1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Good morning. How you doing all right? Hanging in there?

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 2: You made I know you talked about this post game

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: and said that you made the decision when it came

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: to starting Billy es happy because he deserved it. Did

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: you what you saw from him yesterday? Did you did

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: you get what you thought you would get from Billy's

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: happy at quarterback?

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I mean, you know, I thought he did

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: some good things. Obviously, we you know, didn't didn't produce

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: any points offensively, so that wasn't good. But I mean

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: that's wasn't just him, that's everybody. So you know, we

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: just got to do a better job there. But uh,

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: you know, no turnovers at the quarterback position, and there

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: was some positive place. We just need to you know,

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: need to make more of them.

16
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: I know some or I'm guessing that sometimes you make

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: a change like that and you can get add a

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: little bit of energy energy to the team. Did you

19
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: feel like you got a little bit of an energy

20
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: boost team wise by making that change.

21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean there's always more energy when you're when

22
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: you're productive, and you know, we of the ball, we

23
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: had some productive players. We had a couple explosive plays

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: obviously didn't didn't have any points.

25
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: So Bill, when you look at your team defensively, another

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: great performance, I would say on the defensive side of

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: the football, holding a really good offense to uh six points.

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 3: What's kind of the you know, when you look at

29
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: the turnovers you've been able to create, would you like

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: to see more of those turnovers obviously created into points

31
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: where you were able to do last year from the

32
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: defensive side of the football because the offense is having

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: some issues scoring.

34
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, I mean you'd always like to, you know,

35
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: but I think last year was a pretty look of

36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: a remarkable year defensively. It was a seven touchdowns or

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: whatever it was and return, So I mean that's a lot.

38
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: It's it's a kind of historic number. So the think

39
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna get that every year is, you know, statistically

40
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: not very likely, but you know, it's always working forward.

41
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, we're working hard to try to get the

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: ball off off the offense and and uh, you know,

43
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: it came close to blocking out punt yesterday and things

44
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: like that, but you know, just that they didn't happen,

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: so we got to make them happen.

46
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: When you're playing on a defense like that and the

47
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: offense is not performing where you want it to be.

48
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: Is it tough for those guys to not get frustrated?

49
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it probably is, Yeah, I mean, but at

50
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: the same time, it's you know, we've all seen it

51
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: go the other way. You know, there's times where I've

52
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: been in this a long time, and there's times where

53
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: you give up, you know, thirty eight to forty one

54
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: points on defense and and maybe still win because the

55
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: offense bails. Yet so it's you know, it could go

56
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: both ways on that. Uh, but bottom line, everybody's you know,

57
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: got to do the best they can and control what

58
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: they can do. And the offensive players don't play defense.

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: Defensive players don't play offense. And you know, you if

60
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: they play good defense and you know you've got to

61
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: play better defense, if they play good offense, then you

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: go to score more points than they do. I think

63
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: from a team standpoint, that's how you got to look

64
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: at it. But you know, obviously right now we're not

65
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: scoring enough points offensively, and we got to address that.

66
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: But you know, on defense, you control you can control,

67
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: and you know, play the best that you can, try

68
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: to play better than their defense.

69
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: You have been doing this, as you said, for a

70
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: long time and with a lot of success, Is it

71
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: hard for you to energy wise, optimism wise when you

72
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: get to week twelve, Week thirteen, week fourteen to still

73
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: have that same energy and optimism. No.

74
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean every week's a great challenge in this league,

75
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: and I'll look forward to it every week.

76
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: Bill, Speaking of frustrations, I know Jabrill Peppers apologized for

77
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: getting on that hot mic while talking to Saquon Barkley

78
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 4: after the Giants game. Does it worry you if you

79
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 4: have players on this team that don't believe that the

80
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: team is good enough to get wins?

81
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, you you know, I think you have talked

82
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: jipri Ill about that. I think he made some comments

83
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: on it. So you know, look, there's things that gets

84
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: set in and you know, frustrating moments. You know, we've

85
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: all had that, and so Javial works hard. I mean

86
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: he's a hard working kid. He's out there every day

87
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: and and it works hard to communicate well, be a

88
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: good teammate and compete and help his team. And I

89
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: think everybody respects that. I certainly do. Bill.

90
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: One of the things that you talked about is being

91
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 3: able to create more points, score more points. I know

92
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: that you know Malie Cunningham was brought up and he said,

93
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: there was a little package for him. Is that something

94
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: that maybe we could maybe see moving forward because he

95
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: does bring a different element when you look into trying

96
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: to manifest. So you're trying to create some offense and

97
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: switch things up and utilize him a little bit more

98
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 3: to see if he can produce maybe in a positive

99
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 3: way for you guys offensively.

100
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean that's an option. There's there's other

101
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: players that you know, our options as well. It's just

102
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: really you know, a question of you know, time and commitment,

103
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: and you know how much you can do and how

104
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: well you can do it, and so more time you

105
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: commit to some things and this least time you commit

106
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: to something else, and you know, you just have to

107
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: pick your priorities. But yeah, I mean we have, you know,

108
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: we have some options here and we'll you know, look

109
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: at him and if we feel like there's an advantage

110
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: to be gained, then we'll we'll try to do it

111
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: in a Thurston. Or we think it's marginal, then you know,

112
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: we might not be able to do it. So we'll

113
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: just have to see how that goes.

114
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: I know, you're just getting in here and getting at

115
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: it this morning, but any update on Remandre Stevenson And

116
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: we discussed it briefly earlier because of Scheim's lead, but

117
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 2: that looked like a hip drop tackle. I know that

118
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: there's a bit of a push recently to outlaw those.

119
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: Do you think they should the NFL should.

120
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: Outlaw Uh, I think that's a question for somebody else

121
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: in the league. It's not really my decision. Yeah, we'll

122
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: say it is. I mean, you know, we'll come in

123
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 1: and do some I think he'll he has a tester

124
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: to look at this morning to you know, kind of

125
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: follow up from yesterday. So it's always hard, right you know,

126
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: right after the game or right when it happens. The

127
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: adrenaline the most of the game, you know, and see

128
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: where things are, you know, twelve to twenty four hours later,

129
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: and you know how things resolve with Sometimes they turn

130
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: around quickly. Sometimes you find more than what you thought

131
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: you found the day of the game. So what's that to.

132
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 4: See Bailey getting sacked five times? The old line this

133
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 4: season has had up and down games. What do you

134
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: attribute to that not having them be you know, playing

135
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 4: to the best game in game out?

136
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I mean there's there's there's mistakes in every game.

137
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: Some of the sacks are a combination of things. Some

138
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: some of it was not all ops in the passing game,

139
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: maybe could have got rid of the ball a little

140
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: quicker in case it was protection breakdown. I don't think

141
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: it was one thing, one guy, one particular you know play.

142
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: It was a combination of things that you know when

143
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: Blitz pick up, you know it was. It wasn't the

144
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: same thing on every play, but you know, in the

145
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: end that's part of our efficiency is not going backwards.

146
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: And you know, sacks or negative plays and whether it's

147
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: negative plays, penalties, tackles are lost, like those are all

148
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: things that you gotta try to avoid offensively to stay

149
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: out of long yarded situations.

150
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 5: You look at the Taekwon Thornton drop, a great throw

151
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 5: by Zappi. He has had a struggling he struggled this

152
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,119
Speaker 5: year his second season in the NFL. Is ability to catch?

153
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 5: Is that something that you see guys develop at this

154
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 5: stage or or if you're at the NFL level, are

155
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 5: your hands kind of what they are?

156
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I mean I think our receivers, you know,

157
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,559
Speaker 1: generally all have pretty good hands. Look, every receiver drops

158
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: a pass, you know, every defensive player misses a tackle,

159
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: every quarterback throws an interception, every kick or missed the

160
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: field goal. I mean, that's part of football. So when

161
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: I have as few of those as possible and hit

162
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: all the opportunities that you have. But unfortunately that's you know,

163
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: those things are gonna happen. There's gonna be drops, there's

164
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a miss tackle, there's gonna be a miss kick,

165
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: there's gonna be an interception. And the great ones have

166
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: done it. So work through a better concentration, better finished.

167
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: But you know, taekwond can catch the ball, and we've

168
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: had some drops this year that have heard us again collectively,

169
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: we've got to take advantage of those opportunities. We've got

170
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: to hit the receivers when they're open. You know, it's

171
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: it's really consistency. I wouldn't say it's ability. I'd say

172
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: it's consistency.

173
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 5: Bill.

174
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: One of the things that you know, I'd love to

175
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: kind of maybe get a window winner, is to be

176
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: in a situation like this, What do you think the

177
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: most important thing for you as a head coach to

178
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: do is to make sure guys don't start checking out

179
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: mentally because of where record is, and you know, moving forward,

180
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: what do you think your biggest challenges or your biggest

181
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 3: message is to those guys to say, hey, listen, our

182
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 3: record isn't where it wants to be, but we need

183
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: to make sure that every time we step on the field,

184
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: whether it's practices or games, we have that same mentality

185
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: like where zero zero.

186
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I think that's what we've been doing. I

187
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: think is what we continue to do. Going with the

188
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: exception of two games, really, I mean we've you know,

189
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: had an opportunity in every game. Yesterday was another one

190
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: where you know, we have a chance of the ball

191
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, and you know we're't

192
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: able to we're able to you know, get the points

193
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: that we needed to get at or to win. So look,

194
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: these guys have come in and prepared to me. I

195
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: think my job is to prepare the team the best

196
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: that I can to be ready to play on Sunday.

197
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: And that's what I've been doing. That's what I'm going

198
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: to do, and we all need to do it a

199
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: little better.

200
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 4: Bill.

201
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't even two full years ago that Mac Jones

202
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: led the AFC to a Pro Bowl win. From your perspective,

203
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: what has been the main reason for the regression that

204
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: that we may have seen with Mac Johones.

205
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think, you know, there's another point in

206
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: time to you know, reflect over a longer period of time.

207
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: Right now, really my focus is on getting the team

208
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: ready to play against Pittsburgh, you know, looking at you know,

209
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday and trying to going to learn from that.

210
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was kind of take it, you know,

211
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: week to week here and worry about the you know,

212
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: some of the bigger picture conversations at a different point

213
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: in time. I don't think that's really relevant right now.

214
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: Does does a guy like I mean, does Mac Jones

215
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 2: have a chance to still end up being the starter

216
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: this Thursday night?

217
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: Everybody, Look, everybody that's active needs to be ready to play,

218
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: and everybody that's potentially active, which is practice squad players

219
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: and all the fifty three man roster players, get ready

220
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: to play. I'll see how things turn out this week.

221
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. There's a number of questions

222
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: from you know, game planning, to injuries to things like

223
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: that that are you know, we'll see all that turns out.

224
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

225
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: There was a lot of talk leading up to the

226
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 4: change from Mac to Bailey when it came to players

227
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 4: finding out who the starter was going to be. When

228
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: you have such a short week playing on Thursday, when

229
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: do you let the players know who the starter is

230
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: going to be out there or do you just rely

231
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 4: on who's getting the most reps and hope that your

232
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: players understand.

233
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, I think it's every player's job to get

234
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: themselves ready to play and be prepared to play. And

235
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: I think the more that everybody worries about what everybody

236
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: else is doing, then the less they focus on their job.

237
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: And we all know that they were Mandre Stevenson in

238
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: the middle of the first quarter wasn't available to us,

239
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: So somebody else has to be ready to go in

240
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: there and do that. And that's the way it is.

241
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: Every week. Everybody's got to be ready to go, and

242
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: you never know how things are going to happen. So

243
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: our job is to prepare the team. Players job is

244
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: to be prepared and when we're called on to go

245
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: out there and do our jobs.

246
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: This week's Diesel Direct Player of the Game is Jilanie

247
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: to buy a little bit about what he brought yesterday

248
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: and what he brings to this team.

249
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jelina has had a really good year. You know,

250
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: really can't say enough about that guy. He works extremely

251
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: hard to start off with a good off season program.

252
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,599
Speaker 1: You know, plays plays a lot on defense and all situations,

253
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: plays a lot in the kicking game. You know, it's

254
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: really you know, he's worked extremely hard to improve over

255
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: the last you know, a couple of years, two and

256
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: a half years, whatever it's been. And he's one of

257
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: our smartest, most dependable players and works consistent players. So

258
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: it's been He's had a really good year.

259
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you about something that Rex Ryan

260
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: said this week. Uh he said that the Patriot Way

261
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: is exhausting for these young players, and I wanted to

262
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: ask you if there is indeed a Patriot Way? Is

263
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: there still a Patriot Way? And do you do you

264
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: feel like that ever is exhausting for these these guys.

265
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not really sure what he's talking about. Rex

266
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: has never been with the Patriots. I'm really sure what

267
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: that means either. But look, I mean we're going to

268
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: do the best we can to you know, prepare the

269
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: team and and compete every week. So that's what we're

270
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna do. Whatever that is.

271
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: The coaches verdict, which is presented by Ketches Law Group

272
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 2: with Curtis New England's injury pros at Catches Law dot com.

273
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: Catch is proud to be the official law firm of

274
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots Bill.

275
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 5: Last year, at the end of the season, you discussed

276
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 5: twenty seventh and spending over the last three years. We

277
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 5: spoke at the beginning of the year about being thirty first.

278
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 5: Right now, according to spotrack, the Patriots are twenty one

279
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 5: million dollars less than the second least spending AFC team.

280
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 5: You cited that the Rams and the Bucks have spent

281
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 5: and gone all in and they're paying for it now.

282
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 5: But the Rams are four games better and the Bucks

283
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 5: are three games better. How is this approach that to

284
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 5: spending beneficial when it seems like the Patriots are currently

285
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: in the same spot as other franchises that at least

286
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 5: went all in recently.

287
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well again, right now, my folks sung it right

288
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh. So you know, those are much bigger and

289
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: longer discussions that really aren't relevant right now because there's

290
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: not there's no spending to be done one way or

291
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: the other. So we'll deal with Pittsburgh and talk about

292
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, cap planning and things like that. That'll come

293
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: up later.

294
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 5: But do you think that the roster is good enough

295
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 5: to be better than what the what the team has

296
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 5: performed at this year?

297
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: Well? Yeah, I mean we've been in a lot of

298
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: close games. We haven't won them, so that's what we are.

299
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: Could could those games have gone differently? How far away

300
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: are though those from being different outcomes? I don't know.

301
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: They are what they are, but been a lot of

302
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: close games.

303
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 5: Do you anticipate spending a lot more next season?

304
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? We're getting ready for Pittsburgh right now. We'll deal

305
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: with that, all right.

306
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: Bill, You're in a much better mood than I thought

307
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,240
