1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Hey, Bill, how you doing all right? How you doing good? 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: You've been coaching in this league for forty eight and 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: a half years. I think is this the most frustrating 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: season that you've had? 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 2: Uh, it's probably up there. Yeah, but we just gotta 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: keep grinding away here and you know, turn things around 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: this week? 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,479 Speaker 3: Is it coaching staff? 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: You players? Is it tough too when you're sitting at 10 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: two and seven to get guys to keep grinding away? 11 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 4: No? 12 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 5: Not this week. 13 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 2: I mean I think we yeah, worked hard this week again, 14 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: had our chances, we just weren't able to make enough 15 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: place to win. 16 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 4: Bill, you talk about working had this week in practice 17 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 4: one of the areas where excuse me, where you really 18 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 4: struggles third down, both sides of the football. 19 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 3: What do you think is leading to that? 20 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 4: Because if you haven't great weeks of execution and practice, 21 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 4: is it just not execution in the games or is 22 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 4: it just maybe schematically. 23 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: You saw the game, you know, we missed some opportunities 24 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: that weren't that hard. Should have been able to get them, 25 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: and I just got to keep working out. 26 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 3: Bill. 27 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 6: When it comes to the offense, and you look at 28 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 6: the first half of the season, there's been some changes 29 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 6: week to week, whether it's injuries or you putting the 30 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 6: best guys out there. Do you think that that's led 31 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 6: to maybe some chemistry issues between Mac and the guys 32 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 6: that he's working with out there week to week. 33 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: Well, it's always good to put the you know that 34 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: as much continuity as possible, but sometimes that's out of 35 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: your control. So that is what it is. 36 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: Going to the Mac Wilson offsides call, you were pretty heated. 37 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: What were you arguing with the officials on that call? 38 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: Well, there's a couple of things there. And first of all, 39 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: I'm not sure it was in the neutral zone, you know, 40 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: and we talked about the ball, you know, the placement 41 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: of the ball before the game, But looking at it 42 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: last night, I'm not sure it was in the neutral zone. 43 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: I mean, he flinched, but I don't think he's in 44 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: the neutral zone. 45 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 4: So when you when you have that situation and I 46 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 4: saw you guys obviously on the sideline, what's their explanation, Like, 47 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 4: you know, we couldn't really tell from the angle that 48 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 4: we were getting it on on the TV broadcast, Like 49 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 4: we couldn't really see if he was in the neutral zone. 50 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: But what's the explanation that they're. 51 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 4: Given when you can clearly say, especially the line judges 52 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 4: looking right down the line and going he's not in 53 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 4: the neutral zone. What's the referees explanation the officials? 54 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, well you have to talk to the officials about 55 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: what they saw or didn't see or whatever. I don't know. 56 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 6: It has felt like there's been inconsistencies week after week though, 57 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 6: when it comes to officiating, not just with the Patriots 58 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 6: but league wise. Do you feel like there needs to 59 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 6: be a change when it comes to making sure that 60 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 6: things are by the book every week and everybody's on 61 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 6: the same page. 62 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean you always want everything be done 63 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 2: as right as possible. So whether that's us, game operation, officiating, everything, Yeah, 64 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: everybody's trying to do the best job they can. But yeah, say, 65 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: a big thing we have to do is worry about 66 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: we can control and do a better job of that. 67 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: But certainly there's other factors they're out of our control. 68 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 5: Bill on what you can control, it does seem the 69 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 5: team is lacking of discipline, whether it's tackling or penalties. 70 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 5: Do you think it's a disciplined team. 71 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: I think some of our fundamentals are Yeah, they're definitely 72 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: inconsistent and we need to be a better, more consistent 73 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: fundamental team. There's no doubt about that. Work on that 74 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: every week, talk about it. Some things that are improving, 75 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: some things that they need to show up. Yeah, not 76 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: every team in the league has missed tackles every game, so, 77 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: but you know, we had a couple of bad ones 78 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: in the on the surround long scramble play obviously hurt us. 79 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: The interception to end the game. 80 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: Is that a ball that Max should have thrown? 81 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: Uh, well, yeah, that's it's close play had hands on 82 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: the ball. 83 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 4: But when you talk about the mistackles, I know it's 84 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 4: got to be or is it difficult because of the 85 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 4: new kind of format in the sense of, you know, 86 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 4: trying to player safety and not being able to tackle 87 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 4: as much in practice, whether that's training camp during the week. 88 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 4: Has that affected got you said, it's just everybody throughout 89 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 4: the league. They're just some of the tackling because of 90 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 4: the new kind of practice schedule. 91 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: I think blocking, attacking fundamentals are they are what they are, 92 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: the work on them every week, then you have to 93 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: accee him in the game. So just challenge for everybody, 94 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 2: same for us. 95 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: There was some lip reading going on during the game 96 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: broadcast wise, and it looked like we could see Robert 97 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: say to or Jonathan say to Robert, We're just not 98 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: good enough. Would you do you share that sentiment when 99 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: it comes to this football team. 100 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd have to ask them about what they said. 101 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: I don't know. 102 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we didn't do enough yesterday. 103 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 6: Looking towards the Colts now, obviously a weird week with 104 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 6: you guys traveling to Germany. How difficult is that? Does 105 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 6: that throw a wrench in your week? Or are you guys? 106 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 6: You know everybody has to deal with changes week to 107 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 6: week when traveling. This is kind of a big one. 108 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 6: How different is the preparation for the Colts this week 109 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 6: compared to a normal week? 110 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh quite different. You know we'll leave Thursday after 111 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: practice and you know, lose the time going over there 112 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: show Friday morning. So you know we've done it before 113 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: on the trips to London, so the same general idea. Yeah, 114 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 2: it's a little bit different. You know, left to adjust 115 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: to it, just like you know the Colts left to 116 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: make an adjustment, So that is what it is. 117 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 6: Was it your decision to leave on a Thursday? How 118 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 6: did that go? Because I've seen some teams that are 119 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 6: traveling abroad go on Mondays or you know what made 120 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 6: you guys decide to go Thursday. 121 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: I feel like that's the best thing to do. And 122 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: that's what we didn't last our other games over there. 123 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: It's there's some adjustments to make, but I feel like 124 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: that's the best thing to do. 125 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: Are you a Schnitzel guy? 126 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe. 127 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: Uh. 128 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: The Diesel Direct player of the game was Pop Douglas. 129 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: Seemed like he was a light or like or maybe 130 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: the term to use is a lighthouse in in a 131 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: darker day. A little bit about what Pop did yesterday. 132 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Pop's been you know, been involved in both 133 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: the return game and and offensively with some occasional carries 134 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: and you know, playing slot receiver and it's made some 135 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 2: made some plays yesterday. You know, gets a ball in 136 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: his hands, he's he can make some marriage with it, 137 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: so we can get him into space and it's a 138 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: good thing. 139 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: I assume you speak with Robert Kraft frequently. Is he 140 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: frustrated with the way the season is gone. 141 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think you'd have to ask him about that. 142 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: I don't want to speak for him, but yeah, I 143 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: mean everybody's frustrated with it. 144 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: The coach Is Verdict presented by Catches Law Group, New 145 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: England's injury pros at Catches Law dot com. Catches is 146 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: proud to be the official law firm of the New England. 147 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 3: Patriots Curtis Bill. 148 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 5: Last week, you said to Greg about the two full 149 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 5: time jobs that would have to be the head coach 150 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 5: in the GM. I'm just curious, as just the general rule, 151 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 5: what is the most difficult part of your day to 152 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 5: day your job as the coach. 153 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 3: Of the Patriots. 154 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, just do what we do. 155 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 2: Different things to do every day. Each day is a 156 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: little bit different, but yeah, what I'm doing, try to 157 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: do the best I can out it. 158 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 159 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: I think there was some interest in that answer because 160 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: I think everybody has always assumed that you are the 161 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: head coach of this football team and the GM of 162 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: the football team. 163 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: Is that kind of how it breaks down? 164 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, well yes, but I mean there's other people involved. 165 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: And again there's no way that one person, in my opinion, 166 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: can do everything that needs to be done in those 167 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: two roles. I mean, you need help from somebody. Somebody's 168 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 2: got to make the bottom of decision. I don't care 169 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 2: what team it's on, like somebody has that as the 170 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: final say, But there's a lot of work that goes 171 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: into the process of doing that. 172 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: And when it comes to that final decision, does that 173 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: end up being you or does that end up being 174 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft? 175 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 2: Or is that depends on what it is. There's a 176 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: collection of things that each one's a little bit different. 177 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 3: Bill. 178 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 4: You say that you enjoy what you're doing, and it 179 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 4: clearly you know, you love the game. You still got 180 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 4: a lot of teaching and coaching left in you, and 181 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,119 Speaker 4: when things are difficult, you know, you try to always stay. 182 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 3: Within the moment. 183 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 4: But as you move forward with your continued coaching career, 184 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 4: do you still have that same passion that and that 185 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 4: same love that you you know you've always had since 186 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 4: day one? And do you feel like I still got 187 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 4: plenty of gas left in the tank to coach a 188 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 4: lot of these guys to you know, get us back 189 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 4: to what we all expect. 190 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I do the best I can every week, 191 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna keep doing that and do it again 192 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: this weekends. Indianapolis. You get through the game today and 193 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 2: move on, todn'ty so obviously we all have to do 194 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 2: a better job and work hard to do the best 195 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 2: I can help the team. 196 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 6: I was at the game yesterday and a bright spot 197 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 6: for me, a moving point. And I know that you 198 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 6: were in the locker room during halftime, but to watch 199 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty service members officially enter their time 200 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 6: of service, it was moving for everybody in the stadium. 201 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 6: I know that you have the utmost respect for our military. 202 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 6: How important is a game like that a salute to 203 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 6: service game in your mind? 204 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great to recognize those people, and you know, 205 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: the Taps families there and the Lewiston families that were there. 206 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 2: We've had been involved in a couple of those reenlistments, 207 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 2: you know, through Joke, Cardona and actually Joe's re enlistment. 208 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 2: So we've been involved in a couple of those. It's 209 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: good experiences for our team to understand what, you know, 210 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: taken a note to serve means, what you're, what you represent, 211 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: what you're willing to give up, and how voluntary it is, 212 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 2: you know, and so it's pretty yeah, pretty moving ceremony 213 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 2: and understanding what it is is pretty obviously pretty significant 214 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: to the protection of our country rights and freedom. 215 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: You answered postgame, but I just wanted to ask in 216 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: light of Jeff how report in the Athletic when it 217 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: comes to J. C. Jackson and Jack Jones, they started 218 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: the game on the bench. That report is that it 219 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: was performance related. 220 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 2: Is that I'm not going to get into the all 221 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: decisions we make them personal, but. 222 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 4: Okay, But one of the areas that it seems like, 223 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 4: you know, you try to find like some bright spots 224 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 4: and when things ain't going great. 225 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 3: But one of the areas it seemed like you. 226 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 4: Guys have able to do this past couple of weeks 227 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 4: is win the turnover battle. What's kind of been your 228 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 4: message in that sense that you've been able to you 229 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 4: you had two turnovers yesterday again another interception by Kyle 230 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 4: Duggatt and in the red zone, and last week you 231 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 4: had two more turnovers. So when you start to look 232 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 4: at that, maybe just kind of continuing to kind of 233 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 4: get the defense to just you know, create more turnovers. 234 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 3: On what's been your message to that? 235 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 4: It seems like at least you can kind of take 236 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 4: some silver lining out of creating turnovers moving forward, especially 237 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 4: when you go play a team like the Colts. 238 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: All right, Well, the number one thing every week that 239 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: we emphasize is taking care of the ball and trying 240 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: to take the ball away. So we had to do 241 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: a better job at both. Obviously, we had too many 242 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 2: opportunities where we lost the ball or have lost the ball. 243 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 2: You know, yesterday we had a couple, you know, one 244 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: was nullified by a penalty, and you know, things like that. 245 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: I mean, but just in general wall security, it's at 246 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: the top of the list, and taking the ball aways 247 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 2: at the top of the list. So as a great 248 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: play by Acelaunie to punch the ball out, you know, 249 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: we've seen that. You know, guys do that. You know 250 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 2: through the years. It's good, good technique, committed, great play 251 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: on it. And but we just we've got to look 252 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: for those opportunities defensively and offensively and in the kicking game, 253 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 2: make sure that we scare possession of the ball at 254 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 2: all costs. And so it's always emphasized. Luckily it has 255 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: turned up for some of our turnovers in the last 256 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 2: couple of weeks. But that's always top priority every week. 257 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: One last one for me. 258 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: And I know you don't want to answer specifically about 259 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: specific calls, but do you think it's harder for players 260 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: at this point to figure out what roughing the passer 261 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: really is, uh. 262 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: Not really, I mean I think we all know what 263 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: it is. Sometimes there's some close calls that you know, 264 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: they could go either way. I mean it's holding, pass interference, 265 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 2: defensive holding. I mean there's a lot of those so 266 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 2: face masks, horse collar, and there's some players that are 267 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 2: close plays. So but no, I think everybody understands the rule. 268 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 2: We certainly spend a lot of time on it. And 269 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 2: the last thing we want to do is sack the quarterback. 270 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 2: And you know we called for body weight or or 271 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 2: you know, driving them to the ground or whatever. So yeah, 272 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: we'll try to try to do a good job on 273 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: those things. 274 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: All right, Well we will let get to work and 275 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: get ready to head to Germany. And thanks for taking 276 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: the time this. 277 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: Morning, all right, yeah, all right, all right, all right, 278 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 2: thank you. 279 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 3: There you go.
