1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Hey Bill, Good morning Greg. 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 2: How you doing. 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: Good? Good? How are you well? 4 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 3: I'm fine. Just a little start with a little quick 5 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 3: advice for Wiggy Game one Brockton forty nine to fourteen loss. 6 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 3: How does one come back from that week one of 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 3: the season as a coach? 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's long season. There's a lot of games left, 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: so keep improving. That is it. 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 4: That's that's the mindset that we have down there. Bill. 11 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 4: You know, look similar to yesterday, Similar to yesterday's game. 12 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 4: You know, obviously had an opportunity to win the football 13 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 4: game at the end, wasn't able to come up with. 14 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 4: It was kind of a message after the game for 15 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 4: your team. 16 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: I just got to playing coach better, just got to 17 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: do a better job. 18 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 3: Certain Bill, Obviously, anytime you're you don't win that football game, 19 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: you're upset. But I some positives that you're able to 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 3: take out of that game yesterday. 21 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean we certainly did nothing to make 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: it competitive. You know, we had our chances. We just 23 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: weren't able to, uh, you know, make enough place to win. 24 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: So we just need to make a few more better plays. 25 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: Not just at the end, but there were multiple opportunities 26 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: all the way along the line. So you know, we 27 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: just we all have to do a better job. Bill. 28 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 5: A positive we've been talking about already this morning is 29 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 5: the difference we saw on the offense from the first 30 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 5: to second quarter. Was that just them kind of getting 31 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 5: the rust off and getting back into game mode or 32 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 5: was it something that Bill O'Brien was able to fix 33 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 5: going into that second quarter. 34 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think surely just a bad execution. You know, 35 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: we moved the ball in the first drive and and 36 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: you know then had to turnover. So I don't know, 37 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: we were just thig the whole game. We had our 38 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: points where we executed pretty well and had some success 39 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: move with the ball, and then there are the times 40 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: where we didn't have the same type execution. And again 41 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: that's a combination of you know, coaching, execution and decision 42 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: making and so forth. Again, we all, we all got 43 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 1: to do a better job. 44 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 4: Well, you talk about everybody executing and doing a better job, 45 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: and you know, you get criticized obviously sometimes we're going 46 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 4: for things on fourth and three, but then when you 47 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 4: actually get to look at it, you guys design up 48 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 4: a play and you know, unfortunately on the fourth and 49 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 4: three the right god gets beat right away. Which flushes 50 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 4: Mac from the pocket. What's that kind of like when 51 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 4: you sit there and you look at a play and 52 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 4: you go, okay, if we could just sure up that thing, 53 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 4: a play has the ability to be successful that most 54 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 4: people they can't see that. How kind frustrating is that 55 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 4: for you as a coach when you know it's the 56 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 4: little executions that sometimes lead to bad results. 57 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: Well, that's usually what it is. It's usually good plays 58 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: and bad plays as a result of you know, fundamentals, 59 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: and our fundamentals on all plays are again, at times 60 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: we're good. At other times you know, it's inconsistent. So 61 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: you know, the fundamentals. Without good fundamentals there, there really 62 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: aren't very many good plays. So it all starts there 63 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: and then and then the overall execution of the play. 64 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: But we give them credit. I mean, it's a good team, 65 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: good defense, good defensive line, and you know they they 66 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: made some plays against us, and you know we made 67 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: some plays on them. We just didn't make enough. 68 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 5: When you look at Christian Gonzales and making an impact 69 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 5: in the first game of his rookie season, how impressed 70 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 5: have you been to see your rookies. Matthew Judon was 71 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 5: praising them after the game yesterday. 72 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think all those guys, both sides 73 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: of the ball in the kicking game, you know, did 74 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: some good things. I'm sure they learned a lot. I'm 75 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: sure it was a great experience for them, and you know, 76 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: hopefully they'll continue to work hard and get better. But 77 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: that's you know, where they're in the water. They're swimming 78 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: and it's a long, you know, long season, long way 79 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: to go, and the waters will get rough. Maybe it'll 80 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: be smooth at times, but they'll be rough. And so 81 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: it's a you know a lot of mental toughness and 82 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: endurance in an NFL season. But we're underway, and so 83 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: it was good to you know, get everybody started, the 84 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: young guys and you know, just the whole team. 85 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: Bill. 86 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: This week's Diesel Direct Player of the Game is Kendrick Bourne. 87 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: Uh talk a little bit about what you saw from 88 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: him yesterday. 89 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, you know, KB, you know, compete 90 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: it hard like he always does, and uh, you know, 91 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: gave us, you know a lot of good effort in there, 92 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: you blocking, They plays in the right area. So I thought, overall, 93 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: our receiver or not receiver, our skilled player acts tight 94 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: ends receivers all and all contributed and they all had 95 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 1: some production. So you know, it was just key trying 96 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: to you know, stay as balanced as we can hopefully 97 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, let let all of them be productive. Yeah, 98 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: Kab had nice day. 99 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: Time for the Coaches Verdict, which is presented every week 100 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 3: by Catches Law Group, New England's Injury pros at Catches 101 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 3: Law dot com.

He told Tracy 104 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 6: Wolfson on CBS that he gained perspective in his time 105 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 6: in Tampa about how much he loved it here. I'm curious, 106 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 6: looking back on it, if you have any regrets on 107 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 6: how that ended. 108 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: Well, I mean no, it's you know, this is a business, 109 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: and you know I understand that part of it. But 110 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: you know, I certainly appreciated the opportunity to coach Tom. 111 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: You know, I had a great conversation with him yesterday. 112 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: It was good to catch up and he, you know, 113 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: just set the standard for what a what a great 114 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: player is U. It's nobody better than him, and you 115 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: so fortunate to have had the opportunity to you know, 116 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: draft them, coach him and and uh, you know, learn 117 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: from him. So you know, I looked back those twenty 118 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: years with uh a great deal of honest and affection 119 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: for you know, Tom and what he did for me 120 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: and for for our football team. 121 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 5: Bill. 122 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 4: When you you know, I know it's difficult to you know, 123 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 4: try to find the positives after a loss. But when 124 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: you look at what your defense was able to do 125 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 4: to an offense that you could ron, could throw, could 126 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 4: do a lot of different things, and you you held 127 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 4: them pretty much in check for most of the game. Uh, 128 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 4: what do you take away way from that? You know, obviously, 129 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 4: what's the message you continue to hop on your defense 130 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 4: about uh to continue to do that? What what's your 131 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: view of what you were able to do defensively even 132 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 4: though it was a loss. 133 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I mean again, we build on the positive 134 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: things that we did and and you know, try to 135 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: correct some of the mistakes some of the problems that uh, 136 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: you know, plays that we you know, got hurt with 137 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: or need to play better. We'll see those again. 138 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 4: Uh. 139 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: You know, other teams will will gain plan us and 140 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: and we'll you know run places that they think we're 141 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: vulnerablen So we'll have to fix those and continue to 142 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: you know, do the things well. Again fundamentally is where 143 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: it starts. But you know, as a defensive team and 144 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: just try to build on that. So you know, it's 145 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: the Screws worked hard on defense. They'll they'll continue to 146 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: grind and do that and there'll be different challenges this 147 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: week in Miami and each week going forward. But you know, 148 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: kind of it was it would play competitively here yesterday 149 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: and then you know, I had a couple opportunities to 150 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: go up the field on third down that you know, 151 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: a couple of penalties that hurt us. So it's things 152 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: that we can, you know, we need to correct. 153 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 4: Bill. 154 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: I know a lot of fans are kind of upset 155 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: that you guys went forward on fourth down there a 156 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: couple of times late in the game. Do you have 157 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: any regret on kind of the decision making there? I know, 158 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: I kind of agree with the decision to go on 159 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: fourth down. I think the numbers kind of swayed that 160 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 2: way for you. Is it like a gut feeling or 161 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: do you kind of play by the numbers there? What 162 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 2: was the decision making? 163 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I mean, you know, fourth and fourth and 164 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: three down by eight. I mean, you know, I don't 165 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: have any regrets on that one. Fourth and seventeen looking 166 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: back on it, you know, we had three timeouts, might 167 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: have punted that one. I mean, I don't know how 168 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: much field position we would have gained. But fourth and 169 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: seventeen after that was you know, that was tough, and 170 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: we had our chances at the end there. You know, 171 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: the penalty makes it a three point game, so we'd 172 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: be playing for a field goal at the end, but 173 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: the two point conversion was nullified, so then it's a 174 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: touchdown game. So you know, obviously we had to play 175 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: for a touchdown there at the end. 176 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 4: So Bill, every week in the NFL is challenging. You 177 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 4: obviously talk about your next opponent, the Miami Dolphins. Uh, 178 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 4: with Tyreek Hill and what they were able to do 179 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 4: yesterday against the Chargers. Well, him being so explosive that offense. 180 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 4: What what are you guys expecting? What do you guys 181 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 4: need to make sure that you're really uh kind of 182 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 4: locked in and focused in on, especially against the explosive 183 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 4: offense like Miami. 184 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, just what you said, I it's an explosive team. 185 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: Certainly can't get them all out of yarn one play. 186 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: But you know, we're still finishing off the Philadelphia game 187 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, we'll turn our attention to 188 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: Miami a little bit later today. But obviously they have 189 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: a lot of explosive players, you know, Waddle and Hill 190 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: in particular. Uh, you know, it's a lot of big 191 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: guys on defense, and you know, a new defensive coordinator 192 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: down there, so I'm sure that will look a little 193 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: bit different. But you know, division games are always you know, 194 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: competitive and tough against Miami. So we'll be in the 195 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: division this week and it'll be a big week for us. 196 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 3: All Right, Bill, thanks for taking the time, and we 197 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 3: will talk to you again next week. 198 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: All right, sounds good, have a good week, all right, 199 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: Thank you.
