Yeah, just um, growing up 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: around the game, um, and just being around the game 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,239 Speaker 1: all your life. I just was curious, Um, when you 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: look at like Tom Brady going into his twelfth AFC 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: title game in eighteen years. I was curious just from 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: the perspective of you being around the game all these years, 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: just through your thoughts on that, just that you know 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: that that he's played in these many big games and 9 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: how that might help the team. Yeah, that's a that's 10 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: a remarkable a remarkable statistic, um for anybody. Um. And 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: obviously it's a testament to Tom and you know what 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: he's been able to do over the course of his 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: long career and um, you know, and all the things 14 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: that he has done, all the work he's put in 15 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: to be able to be a part of some many 16 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: good teams that have accomplished you know something and had 17 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: an opportunity to play in this this game. So UM, 18 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: it is to you know, experience at this point. You know, 19 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't it doesn't mean it's as much 20 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: as playing well, I know that, but you know for 21 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: somebody who have played, um in in this game that 22 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: many times. UM, certainly that's a remarkable achievement, and um, 23 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: you know, I know he's gonna be focused on his 24 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: preparation and doing all that he can to help us 25 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: play our best game against the best team we've played 26 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: all year in Jacksonville on Sunday. Our next question to 27 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: be Draft proverd. You're fall by Rich carbon Basy. Thank you, Josh, 28 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: Good morning to you. You just mentioned that this is 29 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: the best team you've played all year, and I know 30 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: obviously they are the final team at this point that 31 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: you're facing this year. Is this the toughest deep end 32 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: you'd day that you faced this year? And it's so 33 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: why Yeah, they're I mean, there no question. Um, you 34 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: know they they have really really, really good players at 35 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: all three levels of the defense. Um, they're very well coached. Um, 36 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, we we had an opportunity to practice against 37 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: them in August and that was apparent then and it's 38 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: apparent now that they're very well coached. Rarely out of position, 39 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: know what they're supposed to do in each one of 40 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: their calls. Um, they get lined up, you know, and 41 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: and play fast and aggressive. And you got an incredibly 42 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: disruptive front that's deep and talented. They got really fast 43 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: linebackers that are very disruptive. They can do everything that 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: you need linebackers to do. They run, they tackle, they cover, 45 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: they turn the ball over, they blitz well. Um, and 46 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: you got a really really good secondary. Uh they contest. 47 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: Uh you know a lot of throws and makes makes 48 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: it very difficult to have a lot of success in 49 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: the passing game. So, um, you know, there's nothing they 50 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: don't do well. Um, they're very talented. Uh, the scheme 51 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: is difficult. Um. And and they're well coached. So this 52 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: is going to be a huge challenge for us. We're 53 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: excited to start our preparation today for them with our players. 54 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Next question, Rich Curvin, Josh just 55 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about the offensive line and kind 56 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 1: of specifically, Um, you know, their ability to get out 57 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: into the second level. Um, you know, not just the 58 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: interior guys, but a guy like Nate as well. And 59 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: you know you talk about getting backs into open space 60 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: to make plays with those guys are always out there 61 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: blocking in front of them as well. It seems yeah, 62 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: we have you know, we have an athletic group and 63 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: they take a lot of pride and in all areas 64 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: of their job. Um. And that's certainly an area that 65 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, you have a chance to make, um, you know, 66 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: explosive plays when you can get out in front of 67 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: people in space and and uh you know, get get 68 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: people blocked, you know, passed a lone of scrimmage and 69 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: whether it's a screen or run play or the backside 70 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: of a play or some type of a loose play 71 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: in the passing game. UM. You know, those guys are 72 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: all obviously they all play with great effort um, and 73 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: they do. They try to do their job every play, 74 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: and they take a lot of pride in it. They 75 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: work really hard in practice to be well prepared, UM, 76 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: and they care a lot about you know, helping the 77 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: team win in every way that they can. So this 78 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: is uh, you know, we're fortunate that we got a 79 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: good group. Obviously they're well coached. That's certainly a testament 80 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: to Dante and and uh you know how he prepares 81 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: to him and and he has them ready every single week, 82 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: um when they and they play awful hard for him 83 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: and um do everything they can to help us win 84 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 1: in a weekly basis. Herey thanks yea. My next question 85 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: Doug Tie, followed by Bill Burton and Joshing If you see, 86 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: h how many similarity similarities or any similarities between the 87 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: Jaguars defense and what you face in the past with 88 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: the Seahawks and Mythalic. Um. Yeah, there's some similarities. Um, 89 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, but you know, like I said, each each 90 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: year is different. Um. Each team you know has some 91 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: the players are different, certainly, and there's certainly little things 92 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: here and there that each coaching staff is implemented or 93 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: changed or does more of than the other. Um. So 94 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: there's some Definitely, there's some definite similarities relative to some 95 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: of the scheme and the way they play. But you know, 96 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: buy and large, Um, you know, our our focus is 97 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: certainly going to be on this team this year against 98 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: you know, these players. Um, those games in the past 99 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: don't really have a whole lot you know, in common 100 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: with our preparation this week. And we're gonna we've got 101 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,559 Speaker 1: to do a good job of studying up and getting 102 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: to know these guys not only you know what they do, 103 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: but who's doing it. So, UM, you know, excited to 104 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: get started on that here today. Great, Thank you. My 105 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: next question Gilbert All period. Hey, josh Um Bill has 106 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: gone out of his way for several years now when 107 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: he talks about being Himndola and just the kind of 108 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: player he is, you know, sort of fits into being 109 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: a Patriot as well as anyone from your perspective. You know, 110 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: Julian's out thirteen targets, the most he's had in two 111 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: plus years. The other night, can you tell me about 112 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: sort of how your your thoughts on him and what 113 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: he brings to this team and what he brings to 114 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: this offense and specifically this season, what he's done. He's 115 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: one of the one of the all time great teammates, UM, 116 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: no question about it. Very unselfish, however big or small 117 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: you tell him his role is going to be in 118 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: a week to week basis, he embraces that. He prepares 119 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: really hard, he cares about doing it right. He's always 120 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: ready to go, you know, however much you need him 121 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: or are going to use him. Um. And he's as 122 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: competitive as anybody else we have. UM. He plays plays 123 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: hard on every single snap. UM. And we'll do anything 124 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: for the team to help us win. So UM, I 125 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: don't I don't know that I could give a greater 126 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: compliment to a player than that. Uh. And he always 127 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: plays big in the big games. So UM, he's a 128 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: guy that you trust that you won in the game, 129 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: that you can count on UM, and you know you're 130 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: always going to get his best effort. And he's like 131 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: a lot of our guys, he can he can take 132 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: himself to, uh, you know, another another level and try 133 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: to try to do a little bit more. UM. You 134 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: know that maybe what he's done in the past, and 135 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: he does a great job of preparing hard to be 136 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: able to do that. It's a testament to him how 137 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: much he cares about his teammates in our team in general. 138 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: And UH, you know, love love having the guy. UM. 139 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: It's a privilege to coach people like him. Last two 140 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: questions Pilkerrie and n Thanks Stacy, josh I, UM wanted 141 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: to ask you about this Jacksonville linebacking group and maybe 142 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: how you would characterize their ability to cover it seems like, UM, 143 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: I guess I should ask you. Would you say that 144 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: their athleticism and speed is maybe rare at that level, 145 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: especially between Jack and uh and Smith there. Yeah, it's 146 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: as fast a group as we'll play. UM, no question. 147 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: And as I said before, they I don't know, I 148 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: don't know what they don't do well, UM, because they 149 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: run and tackle, they make plays behind a line of 150 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: scrimmage in a running game, they blitz well. They're very fast, um, 151 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: so you know, run and chase from behind, they can 152 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: do that. They play with great effort. They cover well. 153 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: They they're asked to cover, uh, you know, a decent 154 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: chunk of the time, they're asked to cover well, whether 155 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: that's backs or tight ends. Um. And they do that. 156 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: And you saw Jack, you know, make an interception yesterday 157 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: on third down and in a man type coverage on 158 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: a tight end. UM. So they make plays on the ball. 159 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: They pressure, they tackle well, they run, they hit, they 160 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: give great effort, they blitz well. UM. So this is 161 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: this is a very very talented defense, period. And the 162 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: linebacking corps, obviously, uh is certainly one of the best 163 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: we've played all season, and definitely the fastest.
