1 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: All right, Gerard Mayol Jones and snow We'll start with 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: Silk Terry and then go to Evan Lazar Gard. How 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: are you doing, I'm doing, I'm good. I wanted to 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: ask Hi about Chase Winovich, who played a little bit 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: different role than what we were accustomed to see him 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: from him, and he sort of indicated he hasn't played 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: that much off the line in a long time. What 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: does he do that allows him to make that switch 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: from being an end of the line guy for the 10 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: most part, online the scrimmage guy to an off line 11 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: of scrimage guy. Yeah, I think, first and foremost it 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: starts with just being a good athlete. You know, Chase 13 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: can run, he can tackle, He hustles on each and 14 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: every play. You know, his motor is one of his 15 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: key attributes. And you know, I thought he did a 16 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: good job, you know, honestly, you know, you look at 17 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: our defense. We talked about it all the time, but 18 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: we're a game play defense, and you know we pride 19 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: ourselves and having guys who are you know, flexible in 20 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: their positions, and Chase did a good job this past week. 21 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: Is that something given the way he played, something you 22 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: could see him continuing to do moving forward. You know, 23 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: it depends on it depends on the matchup, depends on 24 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: the team, honestly. Um, you know, definitely something that you know, 25 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: we've added to our repertoire. So definitely something to look at, 26 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: something that to continue to work on. But we'll see. 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: It's a game by game basis. Thanks Shu, Thanks Ji. 28 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: Next up, everyone's are and I'll ask anybody else's questions 29 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: for draws him, He dried. I just wanted to ask 30 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: you about defending the middle of the field and pass 31 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: coverage and how you you know, I think you guys 32 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: can get better there, specifically just against play action and 33 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: defending between the numbers at the second level. Yeah, play 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: action is always tough. I would say that, you know, 35 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: anytime you defend play action, it's not just one person 36 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: in particular, you know, the front they have to do 37 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: a good job, you know, converting from being you know, 38 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: playing the run to now convert into a pass rush. Um, 39 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: so obviously it's going to be a little slower. The 40 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: linebackers have to do a good job, you know when 41 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: you look at the second level of reading their keys. 42 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: You know, obviously the offensive line isn't shooting off as 43 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: fast as they would if it was a run player. 44 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes we get kind of sucked down 45 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: into the line of scrimmage and really open up the 46 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: intermediate passing game and then the back end. They just 47 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: have to, you know, do a good job just playing 48 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: pass first and taking it from there. Next to go 49 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: to Mike Reese and Elex Parth. Hey, Jerode, how are 50 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: you doing? I'm doing what Mike? How are you all right? Good? 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: Thank you? John Simon, how would you describe, you know, 52 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: what he brings to the linebacker group. Yeah, if I 53 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: had one word to describe John Simon, I would say tough. 54 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: You know, not only physically but also mentally. He brings 55 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: that to the room each and every day. He's a 56 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: student of the game. But when it's all said and done, 57 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: like John loves playing against you know, run heavy teams, 58 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: that's his thing. But he definitely brings an element of 59 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: toughness to the room. He looks like the last question 60 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: you wants anybody wants to jump him? We're going to 61 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: Alex bars Hey, who want to drive? I'm wondering. So 62 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: you got to see we don't really get to see 63 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: Tress Hall last year because he was on the practice squad. 64 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: But you know he's in year two. We're seeing him 65 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: from the for the first time. I'm wondering what you've 66 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: seen as his biggest jump, what he's doing better in 67 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: year two that maybe he struggled with or wasn't doing 68 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: as well in year one. Yeah, I appreciate the question. 69 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: You know, Torres has done a great job since the 70 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: first day he became a Patriot. You know, as far 71 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: as the classroom is concerned, I would say overall, I 72 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: would say it's fundamentals are better this year than they 73 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: were last year. You know, tackling uh you know, block 74 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: to strug, getting off blocks, his past coverage, all that 75 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: stuff has improved what you would hope to see in 76 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: year two. You know, we always talk about your biggest 77 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: jomp is gone from year one to year two, and 78 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: Torres has definitely gotten better. Thank you, Thanks, and we'll 79 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: go back to sil Perry's first on a question till 80 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: did you reraise I'm muted? That's on me, So I 81 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: just you were just talking to a screen. That was 82 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: it just talking to myself? You know, I love the 83 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: sound of my own voice as much as anybody, So 84 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: that that was fine for me. Um, I got an 85 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: X as an those question for you, though, I'm curious 86 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: when you have the safeties that you guys have, and 87 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: you've talked about how Adrian Phillips is sort of a 88 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, he's a linebacker at heart, and it looks 89 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: like Kyle Dugger can do some some similar things in 90 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: terms of playing closer to the line of scrimmage. How 91 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: important is it to have those guys, you know, Bill 92 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: called it yesterday and one of our calls, you know, 93 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: run for to have those guys playing in that role. 94 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: How does that help the overall integrity of the defense 95 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: when you guys are trying to stop the run. Oh, 96 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: it's very important anytime you have defensive backs who are 97 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: good tacklers and who can also come up and force 98 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: the run. I mean, it kind of takes a little 99 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: bit of the pressure off of the interior of the defense. 100 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: And when you look at our defense as a whole, 101 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, we just got to continue to get better 102 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: on the edge, and you know, having a guy like 103 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: Doug and you know, some of those defensive backs on 104 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: the outside definitely helps turn the ball back into the 105 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: teeth of the defense. So it's good to have those big, 106 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: bigger bodies out there. Thank you, I appreciate it, Phil, 107 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: See you guys later.
