1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Bill, how are you doing good? Glenn? How about you? Terrific? Good?

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Doing good? Great? All right, So you've had an opportunity

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: to look back at that one. Was that the best

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: complete performance you guys have had and all facets of

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: the game, coaching, game, playing everything else for the season?

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Good team? Good team. Yeah, that's pretty you know, pretty solid.

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: I thought we did a lot of things. Well. Certainly,

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: the guys are ready to go. We played hard, to

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: played aggressive. Um, Minnesota's a good team. They caused us

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: some problems. I don't think we caused them a few.

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: So it was ten ten game and then um, you know,

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: we had a couple of touchdowns and kind of went

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: away there in the fourth quarter. But it was certainly

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: a hard fought game that that was very very competitive

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: all the way through. You know what. Defensively, um, it

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: seemed like there was a there was a lot of

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: a lot going on defensively for you guys. So I

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: thought one of the best performances that unit has had,

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: just because there seemed like there was a lot of volume,

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: there was a lot of information, guys coming in and out,

21
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: lots of different looks seemed obviously the need for communication

22
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: was was huge also based on just all the alignments.

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: Do you think that was probably um, you know, you know,

24
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: Glenn mentioned it just the most challenging game plan that

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: you've had expected these guys that kind of that you

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: gave them. I don't know about that. It was. Um,

27
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: there were some moving parts like there are on every

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: game plan, but I think the players that were on

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: the field were confident in what they were doing. Um,

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: And they're pretty experienced groups. So mccordy, Chung, Harmon, mccordy, Gilmore,

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: High Tower, van Noy, Flowers and so forth. Clayborne, those

32
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: guys are all played a lot of football, so simon,

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: I think they knew what they were doing. Um, we

34
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: disguised some things, we tried to We had a couple

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: of different looks. Um so, but the players did an

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: excellent job. They communicated well, they were on it, They

37
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: played physical, they played hard, and um, you know, do

38
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: you have a name for that. The defense where you

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: guys had everybody was kind of usually third down looks

40
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: where the guys are standing up, moving around. I remember

41
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: a similar version of that back and I remember being

42
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: called playground for some reason, and maybe that was maybe

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: I'm maybe that's in my own head, but I thought

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: him because it looked like back in the playground days.

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 1: Was that the same version you go go back into

46
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: the war chest to find that that alignment. It's similar

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: to things that we've done in the past like that. Yes,

48
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: as you know, each game is a little different, the formations,

49
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: the protections, the personnel, so it might be tweaked a

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: little bit differently, but it had roots back probably. Yeah,

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: a couple of decades ago Huffalo game right against Buffalo.

52
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: Years we used it against Buffalo, a different version of it,

53
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: but a similar concept. You used three flowers anything, moved

54
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: them around, but he was over over the center. There

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: a lot in this type of defense. Is that just

56
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: a matchup that you guys felt he could take advantage of?

57
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: That's right. Pretty much plays everywhere across the front for us.

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: So he's played both ends, both inside positions, played on

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: the center, so he has a lot of versatility. Uh,

60
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, he got a sack from the outside coming

61
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: inside on a three man game. Well, he had some

62
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: pressure up the middle, so he was He's in different spots.

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: So I want to ask you about J. C. Jackson

64
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: because you guys always seem to kind of you always

65
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: seem to find these sort of guys, and he had

66
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: a couple of really big plays. Seem like he was

67
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: one on one with Theeland I think Robinson a couple

68
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: of times, but just overall with him, kind of what

69
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: have you seen the growth that's allowed him to kind

70
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: of put him in these spots where you're starting to

71
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: trust him. I was out there every day and he's

72
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: getting better. So that's a good thing. Um, you know,

73
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: he like all young players, needs experience and made some mistakes,

74
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: but learns from him and doesn't usually make him again,

75
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: So that's a good thing. And he's very competitive. He

76
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: has good ball skills, plays the ball well. So yeah,

77
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: we'll just keep going, see how goes keep going them, Bill,

78
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: you suddenly seem to have a lot of running backs

79
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: and you've got versatility in that they have different skill

80
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: set out there, and including James even who had two

81
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns and goal line yesterday. How does that open things

82
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: up for you and that whatever you're doing, you can

83
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: use a guy that has a specific skill set that

84
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: is going to play into what you need to do

85
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: at that time. Well, it's always good to have multiple players,

86
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: and it's always good to have versatile players, and I

87
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: agree with you. We do have a versatile group, and

88
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: those guys can do some different things and they can

89
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: do some of the same things. It's it's hard to

90
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: call a game when you have to have one guy

91
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: in the game for each play. You know, this guy

92
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: does this, then the next guy does something else, and

93
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, it's just hard to do it

94
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: that way. So you have to have some places along

95
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: the line where kind of no matter who's in there,

96
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: they can do these basic things and then if you

97
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: want to specialize it from on occasion, that's fine, but

98
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to always be specialized. So James has

99
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: been able to run the ball, He's been able to

100
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: pass project obviously, it's a great receiver react same thing.

101
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Sony's you know, certainly improving in the passing game. Patterson

102
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: has been able to, you know, give us some other

103
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: i would say, different type of plays. And he was

104
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: effective yesterday as well too. So it's nice to get

105
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: production from all those guys. So, you know, Josh Gordon

106
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: has had like put together two really good games back

107
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: to back. How impressed are you with him as far

108
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: as I mean, he's just saying all the right things.

109
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Great team player. He looks like he's consistent, at least

110
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: the last two weeks I've seen him as he regressed

111
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: as well as you expected him to, because I don't

112
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: think anyone really gave him, I guess a credit that

113
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: he would make it this far into the season without

114
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: something happening. Well, Johnshon has done a good job for

115
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: us since he's been here. He's worked hard to learn

116
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: the offense or a lot of new things that he's

117
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: had to adjust to. He's been consistent, independable on the

118
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: field and off the field. So yeah, see how it

119
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: goes keep going. I mean, he's done a good job

120
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: for us and he's been able to certainly help us

121
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: move the ball and help us win some games. So

122
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: if he can continue to do that, um, great. Is

123
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: there something that you guys saw because he wasn't involved

124
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: in the first almost like the first half of the game,

125
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, there was a it

126
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: was a you know, Gordon for a big play, then

127
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: Gronk I mean James White and then the touchdown to Gordon.

128
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: Was that just something at that point in time you

129
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: guys saw and said, listen, let's let's let's um, focusing

130
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: on Gordon based on a defensive scheme or was that

131
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: just was that just um, you know, Brady just taking

132
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: with the defense gave him. Well, that's pretty much all

133
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: it always is. You know, it's you know how the

134
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: passing game is Christian. You'll go back there and say,

135
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, here's the route I'm throwing it to this player.

136
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: It just depends on what route you have called and

137
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: what defense they're in. I thought Tom did a great

138
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: job yesterday of getting the ball to open receivers. Um.

139
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: We got the ball to a lot of different guys

140
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: backs on checkdowns receivers down the field. Um. Then Rob

141
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: had a few had some opportunities, so uh, James devl

142
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: and so we were able to move the ball to

143
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: to different guys and and uh, you know that's a

144
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: good job at the quarterback of reading the coverage, getting

145
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: the ball the open guy when they rotated away from

146
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: Gordon on the hitch pass and then he broke a

147
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: tackle bus Chryls and had twenty yards. Um, that's what happened,

148
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: that they've been in cover two and rolled into him.

149
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: Tom would have probably thrown the check down to the

150
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: back like he did several other occasions, so it just yeah,

151
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: there's no way to no, we really know exactly how

152
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: that's going to go. So so the television broadcast had

153
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: had a shot of you and Adam Field have a

154
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: nice back and forth. I thought that was entertaining for everybody.

155
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: Uh My question would be a did it kind of

156
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: surprise you often of players kind of mouthing off at

157
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: a head coach or that kind of take you off guard.

158
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: A little bit of player actually yelling at you in

159
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: the middle of a game. Yeah, I have a lot

160
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: of respect for feeling he's a great player and um,

161
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: you know it's uh, I don't even remember what happened,

162
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: and it's just, um, but he's a great player and

163
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: it was, you know, right there around that fourth down call.

164
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: And so you know, I think we've all moved on

165
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: a lot. Have a lot of respect for him in

166
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: the way he plays the game and what he's accomplished.

167
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: So Tom was saying this morning with the guys that

168
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: sometimes you there'll be those moments. He did, whether you

169
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: and one of his your players, And Tom said, if

170
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: Bill ever gets mad at me, he should have brushs

171
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: you brushes it off as the heat of the moment.

172
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: But he did say, prohaps some other former players Junior say,

173
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: ow I figured maybe a couple of guys like Matt

174
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: light back at you, Raybel he said, Julian Edelman though

175
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: currently you ever go back and forth and Jules just

176
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: wanted to kind of fire back at you at times. Yeah, again,

177
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: I have a ton of respect for Edelman and the

178
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: way he competes, and uh, you know, look, when you're

179
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: with players for a long time, a lot of practices,

180
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: a lot of years, a lot of games, you know,

181
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: sometimes you don't always quite see it the same way.

182
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: But you know, in the end, it's really about you know,

183
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: respect and getting to the end point that you want

184
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: to get to. And so I think we all want

185
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: to perform well, win games and see the team do well,

186
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: and so you know, that's where it ends up. Sometimes

187
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: there's a difference of opinion along the way, but usually

188
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: it's healthy. Do you have to fire back at this

189
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: guy over here or want to he knew better? And

190
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: would he can go back to you? Would you Christian

191
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: give it back? Would Tai okay? Coach? I wanted to

192
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: do the last question him, Kristen said, in a lot

193
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: of those means, I don't think anybody's exempt, are they No? No, no, no.

194
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: What I was including the head coach, corn head coach. Look,

195
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: good players can't overcome bad coaching. And if it's bad coaching,

196
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: I don't care how what the players are. Some people

197
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: are stunted. They have trouble with that. So that's when

198
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: we screw up as coaches, and I screwed up plenty. Um.

199
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: I'll take the responsibility for that and take the responsibility

200
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: for putting players in bad situation. That's my job not

201
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: to do that. So we all we all have those

202
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: plays or those moments. But I was surprised at how

203
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: quickly you um just got back into game mode. It

204
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: was like and then like you're it wasn't that bad, Okay, yeah,

205
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: but it was like, it's just how quickly you're just bad? Okay,

206
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: that's over onto whatever is we need to deal with. Well,

207
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: he had to get the red flag back in his side.

208
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: That's what it was a big, a big part of it.

209
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: Third down situation. They were three of twelve, but you

210
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: had him third and long a lot in that game yesterday.

211
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Some of it was penalties, but a lot of it

212
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: was first and second down. Was it not? How different

213
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: does that make the game. When you're suddenly forcing them

214
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: to play a lot of third and long, you pretty

215
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: much know what they're going to do when it's third

216
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: and long. Yeah, well that's a huge difference and that

217
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: works both ways. So and offensively, we want to stay

218
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: out of those, and we had a lot of them

219
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. And defensively its third and eight and tens

220
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: are a lot easier to defend than third and two

221
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: and third and three. So first and second down has,

222
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: let you know, the third down conversion rates, but um,

223
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: first and second down has a lot to do with

224
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: what happens on third down. So the more advantage you

225
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: can gain on those early downs, whichever side of it

226
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: you're on, than the better off you are. So, um,

227
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy got fired. Um, let go, I guess the

228
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: other yesterday. And I'm just looking at all the coaches

229
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: that have your ten plus years, it's obviously you, Sean Payton,

230
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis, Mike McCarthy was one of those guys. I

231
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: think it's just how difficult it is to to stay

232
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, relevant, and you know it for such a

233
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: long period of time. Is the demand to win accelerate

234
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: it now? As opposed to maybe ten years ago, um

235
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: or just or how is it or how does it

236
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: coach actually actively you know, keep his job? Is I know,

237
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: winning obviously is one of them, but is it? But

238
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: is it other than that? Other than that? Though? Is it?

239
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: Is it? Because it seems like these coaches I only

240
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: have only give them like two years, like three years.

241
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: If you can't turn it around, we're gonna go someplace

242
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: house or a year and a half. Yeah, it really,

243
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean maybe it's even in college, it's even worse.

244
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: But do you think what do you why do you

245
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: think that is? Is it just they feel like they

246
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: made the wrong choice, not willing to you know, settle in.

247
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: You'd have to talk to the people that are doing

248
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: the hire and firing there, I mean that which is

249
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: not me So I don't know, um, you know, the

250
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: people that hire coaches and fire them. That's that person's

251
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: not sitting in this room. So you'd have to talk

252
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: to that group of people, people that have done that,

253
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: and you know, ask them why they make the decisions

254
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: they make. I'm not really sure how important is it

255
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: to adjust to maybe like the new the new athlete,

256
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: and we always talk about you know, the players now

257
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: as opposed. I'm sure they're different now than they were

258
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. And always being able to adapt. I

259
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: would imagine that's kind of big two in coaching for

260
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: this long. Well, you know, Lou, anytime you put together

261
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: a team, I think there's an adjustment on both sides.

262
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: Players adapt to their coach, coach adapts to the players.

263
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: Each team is different, each individual is different. The chemistry

264
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: of the group of people are different, even if it's

265
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: the same people. A new year, new circumstances, new environment,

266
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: new challenges, successes, failures along the way. Those all make

267
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: up that particular team. So you know, when you join

268
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: a team sport like football, I think you hopefully accept

269
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: those things that come with it. And again that's on

270
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: the players end, it's on the coaches end. We all

271
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: have to make adjustments. We all have to find what's

272
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: best for the team as we go along through our

273
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: journey during that season. All right, you go to Miami

274
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: next week. You've had your moments down there in Miami especially, No,

275
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, and some late in the season

276
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: that have not been not been great. What is it

277
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: that makes that game and playing that team, playing maybe

278
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: in that environment whether or whatever. So difficult because a

279
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: lot of Patriot fans show up. It's not like it's

280
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: a hostile environment. Why Yeah, Well, I don't think it's

281
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: the weather. I think it's the football team. I mean,

282
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: we haven't We've lost two teams that have outplayed us

283
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: down there, and so that's not not a good thing.

284
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: You know, last year we won here and then we

285
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: went down there and really didn't you know, weren't really

286
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: that competitive in the game. It sort of was, but

287
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: it really wasn't. So um, you know, give them a

288
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: lot of credit. They played, Uh, they played well, and

289
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: coach Case did a good job of adjusting to the

290
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: first game and the way they played us the second

291
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: time around. I'm sure he'll do the same thing this

292
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: this time was coaching staff offensively, defensively in the kicking game.

293
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: And we'll see a different game. Well we saw up

294
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: here back in September, right early October whatever it was,

295
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: fourth game, So I'm sure it'll have a different a

296
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: different look to it, a different flavor to it, and

297
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: and we'll have to do things differently if we want

298
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: to be successful. So we'll see all that turns out.

299
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: But they do an excellent job of game planning, of

300
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: adjusting and um and they play well down there, so

301
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: we'll hopefully we'll be able to match there, uh their

302
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: level of energy and intensity and be able to play well.

303
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: But we'll see we haven't done that very well lately.

304
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: All Right, Well, I'm gonna wrap things up with our

305
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: drive of no brain? Is it? Is it? Well? I

306
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see. I don't know. What do you

307
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: think that there's a couple of good ones in there.

308
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: I think it's this is probably one of your toughest

309
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: decisions up to up to this date, coach, your drive

310
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: of the week. What do you think which one is?

311
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: Which one you're gonna choose? I think the first one

312
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: because I think that's set the tone for the whole day.

313
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: We played from a head, even though they caught us

314
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: at ten ten there in the third quarter, but we

315
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: played from a head. I think we established um a

316
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: good rhythm on the first drive and carried that over

317
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: into a strong defensive performance. Uh So from uh, you

318
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: know that that opening really sequenced there, um running the

319
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: ball in in the end zone, but you know, getting

320
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: the ball to Patterson, getting the ball outside of burkehead Um,

321
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: just you know, running passing and I make a couple

322
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: of tough yards there at the end with with Devlin's touchdown,

323
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: those who are I thought that was a good drive. Yeah,

324
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: that was That was my choice. That touchdown with the

325
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: Gronk and White two catches, Yeah, breeze down the field.

326
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: That looked like it was going to be easy. Because

327
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: you get influenced by the sexy players. You don't like

328
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: to grind and get out part. I like, so coach,

329
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: real real quick. I know, before we wrap it up,

330
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you because I know last

331
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: week I asked you about obviously Ruben Foster. This week

332
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: another incident with Kareem Hunt. Does this give you another

333
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: opportunity or an opportunity to kind of readdress your club

334
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: as far as things outside how to handle yourself professionally

335
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: or is that something you just do on a weekly

336
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis or is just a good time

337
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: just another reminder of what can be taking from you

338
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: no matter how good of a player you are. Yeah,

339
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: I think that's a great question, Lou. I think we

340
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: address those things every week, not specifically that, but some

341
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: version of um, you know, doing the right thing, making

342
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: right decisions, deal with temptations outside of football and so

343
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: forth and so on. Also our respect for things that

344
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: occurred during the season, from Veterans Day to you know,

345
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: solute to service to cancer awareness, crucial cash and all

346
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: those kind of things. So, um, yeah, we address those

347
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. We had the Taps families a

348
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago in the Green Bay game. So

349
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: there there are various things that I think we used

350
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: to um stimulate those type of those points or similar

351
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: points conversations, and um some of them are hot positives.

352
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm unfortunately, like these recent events you referenced that could

353
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 1: be negative. So yeah, though they're all honestly, you can

354
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: almost pull up one every day if you know, look

355
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: at multiple situations, multiple sports. I mean, we had it

356
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: a month ago, the Supreme Court justice, so you know,

357
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: it's it's out there in front of us on a

358
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: regular basis. This video everywhere, that's what they say. Video

359
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: is everywhere now, and you gotta act accordingly. I think

360
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: we'll see you next Monday. All right, Thanks thanks Christ,

361
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: Thanks right here in o
