1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Steve Belichick joins us now and we'll start with

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: questions from Mike do so go ahead, Mike, Hey, Steve,

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: thanks for taking the time. Appreciate it. Got some of

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: your new defenders this year kind of comment they're impressed

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: with how everyone in your defense kind of kind of

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: knows what everyone else is doing. I know, you guys

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: value versatility. Is that something that you guys have always

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: tried to instill in your defense or is that something

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: that's kind of evolved a little bit as the offenses

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: have kind of evolved as well. Yeah, that's a great question, Mike,

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: and um, Yeah, we always stress, Um, you know, you

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: can play a lot faster if you know what the

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: other ten guys around you are doing. So the more

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: that those guys can understand the scheme, understand what people

15
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: around him are doing, there's a you know, there's a

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: lot of communication out there on the field, whether it's

17
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: DB's talking to linebackers, DB's talking to defensive linemen, linebackers,

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: the D line. So again, it really helps when when

19
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: everybody's on the same page and knowing what's going on.

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: So that's a huge point of emphasis for US and

21
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: uh and yeah, that's very beneficial. Thank you appreciate it. Ye,

22
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: thank you, Mike. You can ask any fall ups if

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: you have any ask anybody else to raise your hand

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: if they have questions, sure, just a quick fall up.

25
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: I know you've got kind of some young guys this year.

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: What have you thought about their performance and improving over

27
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: the first four games of the season. Yeah, so far,

28
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: so good with those young guys. I'm enjoying working with

29
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: all of them. Yeah, you know, it was obviously different

30
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: and interesting in the spring not being able to be

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: with him in person, But those guys have done a

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: great job picking up our scheme and yeah, they're all

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: coming along. Hopefully we can coach them well and they

34
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: can keep improving going forward. We'll need we'll need everybody

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: on the roster and practice well. Thanks Steve, thank you.

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Next up is Doug Kite. Hey, Steve. Chase Winovic said

37
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: that it was a point of emphasis for him this

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: offseason to become more of a three down player. So

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: how did you see him try to make those steps,

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the off season and then into the

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: season as well. Yeah, well, I think Chasemith spoke because

42
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: he's really a four down player. So hopefully he takes

43
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more pride than that. But yeah, no,

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Chase has done a great job for us. He contributes

45
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: early down, third down, and fourth down on special teams.

46
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, Chase has done a great job. It was,

47
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, a point of emphasis for him and play

48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: a player early down, run better play, have a better

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: early down pass rush, and then continue to build on

50
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: on his his progress on third down. So yeah, he's

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: done a great job kind of taking the coaching, learning

52
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: from other people in the room, getting feedback. Yeah, can't

53
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: say enough good things about Chase. He's kind of an

54
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: interesting character. From from when we talked to him, it

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: seems to have a lot of interests and willing to

56
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: speak his mind. Was it just like working with him personally, Yeah,

57
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: it's great. You know, love to hear what all those

58
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: guys think about everything. You know, we spent a lot

59
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: of time together. A lot of it's obviously on football,

60
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: but getting to know those guys on a personal level

61
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: is uh is something that I enjoy about this job.

62
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, Chase has some um wild thoughts

63
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: at times, but uh, you know, everybody's a little bit

64
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: different and I embrace that. So yeah, everything's everything's positive.

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: I know that it's it's kind of backtracking a little bit,

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: but um, obviously Chase did play more of a limited

67
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: role last season, but he also had some really talented

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: players in front of him. So do you think that

69
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: he probably could have played, you know, all three or

70
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: four downs last season, but there was just some guys

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: in front of him. Or is the fact that he's

72
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: playing so much more this season a testament to the

73
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: work that he put it in over the off season.

74
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean yeah, Chase has always been able

75
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: to play on all three downs or four downs. Um yeah,

76
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: regardless of of who who's on the roster. So you know,

77
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: we ask we ask guys to do different things depending

78
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: on the on the situation, on the week, on the

79
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: team that we're playing. So he just he always embraces

80
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: his role no matter what we put on his plate. So,

81
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: um yeah, it's just it's all circumstantial. And one question

82
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: on Shalik as well. It seems like he's out there

83
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: making a lot of plays so far this season. What's

84
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: been the difference for him from from last year to

85
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: this year? Um, I just maybe a second years in

86
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: the system. I don't know. That'd be a good question

87
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: to ask him. But maybe feeling more comfortable being in

88
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: his second year playing in our system doing some different things.

89
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: We asked Shalik to do a lot of stuff. Um,

90
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: so yeah, maybe just feeling a little bit more comfortable

91
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: playing faster. Yeah, all those things. Shalik's done a great

92
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: job and all the roles that we've asked him to do,

93
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: as all the outside linebackers and really all the players

94
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: on the defense have. So um, yeah, Shalik's doing a

95
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: great job and and like everybody else, hopefully you can

96
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: keep him proving him making plays going forward. Thanks, thank you.

97
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: All right, I don't see him our hands raised, so

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 1: we will end it there. Thank you very much, Steve.

99
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, have a good day.
