1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Hey, Bill, Greg, how are you doing? How are you 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: all right? All right? Back to work? Back to work. 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: Certainly not the result you wanted yesterday. I wanted to, 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: first off, get your impressions about Mac Jones his first 5 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: NFL start. Yeah, I thought Mac competed well overall of 6 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: the team. I thought we competed in hard. Just got 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: to play better, got to coach better, just not just 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: not good enough. With too many opportunities and just couldn't 9 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: couldn't capitalize on them. So we'll get back to work 10 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: and yeah, prove this week. Bill. One of the things 11 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: that I kind of noticed in the game yesterday. I 12 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: know you talk about the compete level. One of the 13 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: things I thought you guys did well was on first 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: down you were kind of staying ahead of the sticks 15 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: and put yourself in good position so where you could 16 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: be really efficient on third down. I think you guys 17 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 1: were eleven for sixteen talk about how important it is 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: to win first down and put yourself in good positive 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: position so when you do get the second down and 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: third down you're in a good reasonable yattage. Well, it's 21 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: no doubt first down has a lot to do with 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: third down. So in order to play well, on third down, 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: you just as you pointed out, you want to put 24 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: yourself in a competitive you know, in a competitive situation 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,199 Speaker 1: getting those third lungs, third nextional lungs. It's it's really hard. 26 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: So no doubt, first and second down have a lot 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: to do with a third down conversion rate. There's no 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: question about it. Bill, you said last night and then 29 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: you said again this morning, that you guys need to 30 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: be better in all phases of the game and in coaching. 31 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: With coaching as a head coach, looking back on it, 32 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: what could you guys have been, What could you guys 33 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: have done better leading up to the game, and what 34 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: will you do better going into week two? Well, hopefully 35 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: we'll reform and execute better. So that's our job. Is 36 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: there any way preparation wise that you wish you had 37 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: done going into week one that you want to take 38 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: into week two, Well, we've got to perform better. So 39 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: that comes from coaching, it comes from playing, comes from 40 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: just the level of execution. So obviously I got to 41 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: do a better job coaching the team so we can 42 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: play better and we play a gaster. When you look 43 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: at yesterday and some of the whether you'd call them 44 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: sloppy plays or mental errors, penalties, whatever do you do 45 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: you feel like one less preseason game has anything to 46 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: do with that? Yeah, all teams played the same number 47 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: of games. So we just we just have to do 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: a better job than we did, that's all. I mean, 49 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: an other way to put the bill when you talk 50 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: about coaching and playing better. I think one of the 51 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: things that stood out for your team, which normally we 52 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: don't see, is the amount of penalties that you guys had. Um, 53 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: what was kind of that message right after the game 54 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: obviously to plays and letting them know you can play physical, 55 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: you can play high, you can compete, but you got 56 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: to make sure you don't put yourself in bad situations 57 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: where you're getting you know, penalties called on you. Yeah. 58 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: Well again, we just we just has to do a 59 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: better job at everything. Too many penalties, too many balls 60 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: out not you know, not not good enough on some 61 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: of the little things, little fundamentals and they're not little, 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: they're big, but they're you know, the fundamentals or just 63 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: overall execution and some things were close on but you know, 64 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: just again it's just not quite good enough, and we've 65 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: got a has to be better against you know, against 66 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: a good sound team like Miami. Um, and you can't 67 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: afford those things, and they were able to take advantage 68 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: of when we did them. We're gonna have to We're 69 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: gonna have to eliminate those. A bright start, A bright 70 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: spot last night was Nelson Algalore. What did you think 71 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: of him and how impressive he was? Yeah? Again, I 72 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: thought that, you know, we did did some you know, 73 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: plenty of good things in the game. We just we 74 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: need to do more of them, eliminate more mistakes, eliminate 75 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: some of the mistakes we made, and then play better 76 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: situational football. So we had a lot of guys that 77 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: stepped up, made a lot of plays for us. I mean, 78 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: we we did enough things to win the game, but 79 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: unfortunately we made too many too many years and didn't 80 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: play well enough in situational football to women. So what 81 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: was it nice to have the fans back and have 82 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: a home field advantage again last last night? Yesterday afternoon? Bell? Yeah? No, yeah, 83 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: I know, it was good energy in the stands, in 84 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: the crowd, Yeah, definitely, I know. Last you didn't have 85 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: an update on Trent Brown, any update this morning? Um? No, 86 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: you know, usually it takes in twenty four hours or 87 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: so kind of assess everything and if there any things 88 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: to be done like X rays, MRIs, things like that, 89 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: and it's usually have them, you know, late last night 90 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: or in the morning. So yeah, we'll see Bill. When 91 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: you talk about frustrating, I know from watching that game 92 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: from an offensive standpoint as a guy used to play, 93 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: you know, play on offense before. I think the one 94 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: of the things that I know has to frustrate you 95 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: as well as the rest of the coaching staff and 96 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: the team is when you put together long drives like 97 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: you were able to yesterday, to get three drives from 98 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: fourteen plays or more and only able to come away 99 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: with field goals. I mean, talk about the importance of 100 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns in the red zone, and you know how 101 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: that really changes the momentum of the game when you 102 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: put a long drive together but you can capitalize with 103 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: a touchdown rather than a goal. Yeah. Well, you know 104 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: most of the games in this league come down to 105 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: one possession um, so eight points are less um. You know, 106 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: that's that that's what this league is. And he's got 107 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: to be able to play well in those in those situations, 108 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: and obviously, you know, we didn't play very well in 109 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: the red area yesterday offensively or defensively not good enough. 110 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: And ultimately the point there is, you know, the difference 111 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: in the game. So that's one of the many things 112 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: we could do better in terms of playing situational footballs, 113 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: defending the right area better, and finishing drives with touchdowns 114 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: instead of field goals. So another divisional game, still, another 115 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: divisional game Sunday against the Jets. What what makes Zack 116 00:06:54,200 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: Wilson a tough quarterback to defend? He's a very athletic player. Um, 117 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: you had a lot of production in college. Um, but 118 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: plays kind of never over. You know when when he's 119 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: got the ball in his hands, he can get out 120 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: of trouble, run, he can make all the throws. Got 121 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: a really good arm um. As I said, he's had 122 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: a ton of production. Um. You know that BYU. So 123 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure that'll'll translate to to the NFL here move 124 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: the course of his career. But he's he's a guy 125 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: that working at to really you know, do a good 126 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: job on the long balls, the their media passes, the 127 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: extended plays, and his ability to run with the ball 128 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: as well. Some got some good receivers, good targets, um. 129 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: And you know, it'll be they'll be opening at home. Sure, 130 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: it'll be plenty of playing energy down there. We'll have 131 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: to match that and you know, play good football game 132 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: and as I said, play better fundamentally, and then we 133 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: did yesterday. I know you tend to be a focus 134 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: on the future, not dwell on the past kind of guy, 135 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: but I wanted to give you the opportunity to respond 136 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: to Cam Newton suggesting that he was bamboozled by the 137 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: organization with a regard to his trip to Atlanta. Yeah, 138 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: I think we've already covered all that, so there was 139 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: no bamboozling that went on. Look, I have nothing but 140 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: respect for Cam and and everything he did here. We 141 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: said that after he you know, was released and my 142 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: family story. Can I have not changed? Right? Well, now, 143 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: I guess my last question for you, Bill is, I know, 144 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: you know, Monday mornings after a game like this, you 145 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: put together a you know, tape of plays that you 146 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: could do better at and and you know, get better 147 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: as a team, you know, and thinking about some of 148 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: those plays that you guys left out there on the field. 149 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: What what kind of you know message do you give 150 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: to these guys to say, hey, listen, here's what we 151 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: have to fix. But now it's about moving forward and 152 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: looking towards the next game after we correct our mistakes. Yeah, well, 153 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: that that exactly is the message. You know, we'll watch 154 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: every play, not just you know, a couple of plays 155 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: that are you know, it could be highlighted, but really 156 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: it's it's every play. There's there's things to learn from 157 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 1: every play. It's the first game of the season. We 158 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: get a long way to go, and everything we do 159 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: is an important UM. And things that came up yesterday 160 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: are going to come up again, so hopefully we'll well 161 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: we'll be able to execute them better the next time 162 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: they come up. UM. But that that really is gonna 163 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: gonna be every play, every technique, every you know, all 164 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: the communication that we have and all the things that 165 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: we had to adjust to and so forth.
