1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: Phase one. Have you had much time to just get 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: to know these guys and get a field for them. 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: Thanks and thank you for the welcome. It's fun to 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,159 Speaker 1: be a part of this organization. It's been great in 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: terms of this kind of introduction period that we're involved 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: in right now, in terms of not necessarily practicing, but 7 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: having a great opportunity to meet and to have great 8 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: training camp walk throughs and some of those other times. 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: You still get a great opportunity to spend time with 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: these guys, get to see how they work, get to 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: see how they learn, get to see how they study. 12 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: I think all all three veteran quarterbacks are working extremely 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: hard right now, and they're they're all at different levels 14 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: in terms of digesting the system, as in you know 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: Stidiams down going into year two. Brian's been here a 16 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: few different times, and he's a veteran that's you know, 17 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: played in the league a long time. Cam has been 18 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: in the league in one system on one team for 19 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: about nine years, so he's learning system now for the 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: first time as well. So it's not even fun just 21 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: watching how they've all developed a relationship with one another 22 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: and also how they're beginning to understand the system here 23 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: in New England. Where would you say Kim is right 24 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 1: understanding the system. I think it's really hard right now 25 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: to kind of give any of those type opinions or 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: thoughts because we really haven't practiced, and we haven't really 27 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: been in a position where boards are flying and you 28 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: kind of don't really know exactly where anybody's at. They're 29 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: all communicate well, they all talk well, and they all 30 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: understand what we're trying to get done. But I think 31 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: right now it's just a matter of we'll see exactly 32 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: where this all plays out when we start getting on 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: the field and practice. Next question Doug Kain followed by marketing, Hey, Jed, 34 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: welcome to New England. Obviously we ask all the Patriots 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: players when they come into Engle and how it is 36 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: adjusting to the playbook, But how is it for you 37 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: just as a first year coach here acclimating and learning 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: and adjusting to the Patriots offensive playbook. Thanks Doug. I 39 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: appreciate the wealth and excited to be here. It's been 40 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: It's been a really great opportunity to learn an entirely 41 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: new system and I've kind of been in the same 42 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: offensive system now for probably the last in contact with 43 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: each other. Um each team different play two weeks at 44 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: part is that going through? Right now? What can you 45 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: hear me? He says, The MLB season has been knocked 46 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: out by the fact that they're playing so frequently, handle 47 00:02:46,560 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: the false positives and the lagging test real, am I 48 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: back now, you guys hear me? Okay? Now, okay, sorry 49 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: about that? So yeah, I would say learning a new system, 50 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 1: it's been a great challenge, great opportunity, very exciting obviously 51 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: to be a part of something as special as New 52 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: England and what they've done offensively over the course really 53 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: of the last twenty years, and now to be a 54 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: part of learning it, learning to play, but learning the 55 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: fundamentals and really kind of what what has made New 56 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: England great here. And that's been a great challenge, great opportunity, 57 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: and I've really really enjoyed that aspect of it, specifically 58 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: working with Josh, learning from Josh and the entire offensive staff, 59 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: and obviously the opportunity to work with Coach Belichick and 60 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: really understand and begin to understand what's made New England 61 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: so special. Just one quick when did you get to 62 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: know Bill Belichick or how did you get to know 63 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: him well. Initially I met coach and I think probably 64 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: twenty eleven, maybe ten. I met him more when I 65 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: was I was the offensive coordinator at University of Miami 66 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: in eleven, and I mean obviously playing against him in 67 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: OH three in Houston and then in Baltimore. But I'd 68 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: got to really meet him and get to know him 69 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: then when I was at the University of Miami and 70 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: then um Bidlton established a relationship throughout that time really 71 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: from Miami and then when I was in Jacksonville and 72 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: then Michigan UCLA, and then obviously we played each other 73 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: in Super Bowl when I was at the Rams, but 74 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: got to know him then, but really had tied way 75 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: back when My mentor in this profession is a guy 76 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: named Bill Rocca who was very successful high school coach 77 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: in New Jersey and was a ball boy there for years, 78 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: and he spoke at his clinic in nineteen eighty three 79 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: when I was seven years old. Bill came and spoke 80 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: at a special team's clinic at West Essex High School, 81 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: New Jersey. So I've known of and obviously studied and 82 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: watched everything coach Beligick for years, but they got to 83 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: know him in twenty eleven. Great, thank you, yeah. Next 84 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: question to me Mark Daniel, followed by Evan Lazar. Hey, Jed, 85 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: how are you right? How are you doing well? Thanks? Um. 86 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: When you enter in training camp but there are no 87 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: preseason games, what type of challenge does that present when 88 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: you're working with quarterbacks and you're trying to figure out 89 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: who'll start read one? Well, I kind of look at 90 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: it more of a different opportunity than what we've had 91 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: in the past. You don't have to spend the type 92 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: of time as you've done preparing for preseason games. You 93 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: don't have to spend the time, you know, the day 94 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: before again not practicing at the same level, then the 95 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: day of the game not happening, uh, you know, not 96 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: really getting much from them. Then how many reps are 97 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: they actually taking in a game? And then then you 98 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: have the day after this situation here where you get 99 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: to prepare these quarterbacks watching practice, you know, preparing for 100 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 1: the next day, preparing for the next day, and really 101 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: be able to talk about your team and talk about 102 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: their fundamentals and really then talk about how you can 103 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: help develop and watch them grow in our system. Seems 104 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: like a great opportunity, especially with the fact that we 105 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: didn't have a spring And then of course the other 106 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: part of it is you get to do what everybody 107 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: else is doing too. You know, nobody's having a preseason game, 108 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: so everyone's in the same boat. So the key is 109 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: really to make the best of this opportunity for us. 110 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: And when you know, you head into camp and you 111 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: know the starter is undetermined, how important is it to 112 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,119 Speaker 1: figure that out? Or is this more of a slow 113 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: build up where you guys just have to sort of 114 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: take the practices and the weak ones here you know, 115 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: you make your decision. Makes sense, it does, I understand 116 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: the question. I think the real key is, like in 117 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: every position group, people always feel like the quarterback room 118 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: is different and that you have to make a decision 119 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: a much faster and you have to, you know, eliminate 120 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: competition quickly. And I don't think we see that here. 121 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: I think we see it as an incredible First of all, 122 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: you know, the opportunity to work against one another and 123 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: compete with one another, yet on the same token be 124 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: teammates makes everybody better, right, And that's the first part. 125 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: So I think that the more competition we have, the 126 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: more reps we have, the more time we let all 127 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: all the guys duel it out to see how it 128 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: all plays out. I think we'll give all make all 129 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: of them better, and you know, and I think, you know, 130 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: rising tides lift all ships, you know, and I think 131 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity for everybody to just keep challenging one another. 132 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: Thank you, Yeah. Next question Evan lasar Fold by Bob Socie. Hey, Jed, 133 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: welcome to New England. Thank you, no problem. I want 134 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: to ask you about the creative process. Bill actually mentioned 135 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: that you might be kind of bringing some of your 136 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: own flavor to the Patriots offense this year with you 137 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: from your past stops, and I want to ask you 138 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: about that creative process with Josh and if you guys 139 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: have been able to kind of cook anything up in 140 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: the lab so far. Well, I think what we've been 141 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: able to do is just to have great conversations and 142 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: really get to talk about not just what we're doing, 143 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: but why we're doing it, how we're doing it, and 144 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: continue to just build off of the great fundamentals and 145 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: foundation that's here, and then what we're able to do 146 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: and how we're able to come up with some thoughts 147 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: and working off of different systems that I've been a 148 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: part of, and other coaches on our staff have been 149 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: a part of, and I think we can continue to 150 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: just grow. The one thing that New England has been 151 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: known for is their ability to adjust. And you can 152 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: go into a game one week and get one personnel 153 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: group and one philosophy, and then two weeks later you 154 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: play them and they're playing something totally different. I can 155 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: tell you from experience going against New England that really 156 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: what you needed to be ready for is anything, because 157 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: their philosophy has always been we're going to do what 158 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: it takes to win the game. So just bringing another voice, 159 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: being able to have another opinion and really kind of 160 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: learning from what they've done, or maybe there's one or 161 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: two things that we could add to it. But I'm 162 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: really just looking forward to helping Josh in any way possible. Thanks. 163 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: I just want to ask you a quick one about Cam. 164 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how much of him throwing you've actually 165 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: been able to see so far, but I know his 166 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: mechanics or something that he's worked hard on in the 167 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: last couple of years, and I just wondering what your 168 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: opinion of where he's at right now with that. Yeah, 169 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: at this point in time, have not been able to 170 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: see much of that in terms of being able to 171 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: be on the field with live throwing, you know, at 172 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: full graps. Obviously, I know he's working really hard at it, 173 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: and then that'll be a great focus of ours as 174 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: a coaching staff and just trying to make sure that 175 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: we're as fundamentally sound at that position like we are 176 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: every other position. And if we can help in one 177 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: way or maybe point out one or two things that 178 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: could make him better fundamentally, that would be great. And 179 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: if he's already improved over the last few years, that's 180 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: great also. So until we start seeing him out there, 181 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really tough to know exactly what it's 182 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: going to look like. But excited to see him throw 183 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: as I am excited to see all those other guys 184 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: throw as well. Thanks Jed, Thank you. Next up will 185 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 1: be Jeff Howell, followed by Eric Skellovinos. Hey, Jed, what 186 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: was your process as you were entering a new system 187 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: with three quarterbacks veteran quarterbacks you've never worked with before 188 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: in trying to get to know their games? I mean, 189 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: how much background work did you do before training camp 190 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: to kind of understand their strengths and weaknesses. Yeah, thanks, 191 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: that's great, A great question. And as we were going 192 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: through the process of first evaluating right because of last 193 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: year's roster, you know, Jared Stidham was the only one 194 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: that was on the team at the end of the year, 195 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: so you know, we had we brought Brian in a 196 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: lawyer first, and then we signed Brian Lurky from undrafted 197 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: free agent from Michigan State, and then we signed Camp. 198 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: So I was able to during this time and the 199 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: unique spring that we had take some time and watch 200 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: what Stidham did at Auburn, and then watch what Stidham 201 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: did in the preseason last year, and then watch what 202 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: he did in the games that he did play. Obviously, 203 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: I evaluated when I was in LA so I did 204 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: have a pretty good experience in terms of at least 205 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: knowing what he looked like as a college player. And 206 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: then when it came to Hoyer, you know, going back 207 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: and watching his preseason reps here and watching some of the 208 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: the things he did at Indie and then he ran 209 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: a similar system when he was at San Francisco or 210 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: Cleveland with Kyle that I was familiar with. So I 211 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: got to watch a lot of his tape then and 212 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: then with Cam the same type of deal. You know, 213 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: you go back and watch what he did at Carolina. Um, 214 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: you watch what where he was playing his best football, 215 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: where he struggled some, and then what things made him 216 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: successful played he played twenty seventeen weep when I was 217 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: here in New England, and then when I was at 218 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: the Rams last year, we opened the season against Carolina. 219 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: So um, you know, just go back and watch and 220 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: just see what he all of them have done, and 221 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: see where all of their skills are, and then try 222 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: to bring one or two nuggets to each guy to 223 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: keep making them better every day. Thank you, Thank you. Um, 224 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: well go Eric Scalavino Fallo about Ian Steele, Thanks says hey, 225 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: Jed Um. For the longest time around here, Josh has 226 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: been both the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. You've had 227 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: that same designation in other programs where you've coached before. 228 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: I'm wondering, UM, what are some of the differences between 229 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: those two roles and how do they overlap? Um? Yeah, Well, 230 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: that's true. I've I've done that as well, and I 231 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: know that Josh has done that. And Josh is still 232 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: extremely involved in what we're doing is we're doing it today. 233 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: Whistone past the graveyard? We got okay, and um, you 234 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: know we're doing so much together. In that regard with 235 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, what it does enable you to do when 236 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: you're the coordinator and you have a quarterback coach designated, 237 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: is that you have the opportunity at times to break 238 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: away and start working ahead. Potentially, there's opportunities at times 239 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: where you could be one of us could be preparing 240 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks for practice while the other while Josh is 241 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: in there working on third down for a future opponent, 242 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: or working on a script or it's another set of eyes. 243 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: It's an opportunity to work hand in hand. But I 244 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: mean Josh has done. I mean what Josh has done 245 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinate or quarterbacks this league is unmatched. 246 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: So the opportunity to assist him in any way, shape 247 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: or form, and then also have some opportunity to work 248 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: with these guys and be another set of eyes, the 249 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: set of years, another person that can help contribute to 250 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: the game plan and then also help teach these guys 251 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: in another way. Is just as long as you're consistent 252 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: and it's one message and it's one voice at a 253 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: quarterback if it's two people giving it. You know. The 254 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: one thing that I do know is that I respect 255 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: a lot from that position when I've been the coordinator, 256 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: is that the quarterback coach has to be a straight 257 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: extension of the coordinator, just like the coordinator is an 258 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: extension of the head coach. And it's my job to 259 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: make sure that the information that the quarterback is getting 260 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: is one percent accurate and what we're trying to get 261 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: accomplished by the coordinator. Excellent, Thank you, appreciate you. Was that? 262 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: I think that was Ian Steele? Uh? Sorry, is Robert 263 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: Bob Socie's next? Thanks Stacy hijacked. I'll echo others and 264 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: welcoming you to New England. Thank you. Just a couple 265 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: of quick questions following up earlier questions from my colleagues. 266 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: Billin has talked a couple of times already about leaning 267 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: on college coaches preparing this preseason, this training camp in 268 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: a way similar to college programs, and that you don't 269 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: have the preseason games. You've been a coach at the 270 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: college level, the numerous stuffs. How does that inform your 271 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: preparation in your room? But also what you can lend 272 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: the Bill and Josh in terms of getting this team 273 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: prepared on September thirteenth to play its first game. Yeah, thanks, Paul. 274 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: I appreciate the welcome, and it's definitely something that in 275 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: college is the opera. You don't play preseason games. You 276 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: have about thirty days to be ready for opening day. 277 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: I remember my first year in Michigan, we took a 278 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: grad transfer and his first day on campus was July 279 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: twenty fifth, so we had a short window similar matter 280 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: to get a quarterback that was unfamiliar Jake Rudock and 281 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: wound up you know, I think he got drafted there 282 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: in the sixth round by Detroit. So you do learn 283 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: a little bit of you know, how you can kind 284 00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: of coach in shorter term without preseason and recognize that 285 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: how important practice is. I think the other thing is, 286 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, having somewhat of another sounding board of how 287 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: did you guys do it at UCLA or how'd you 288 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: do it at Michigan or at Miami, and how'd you 289 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: use the time frame or training camp schedules for walkthroughs 290 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: or whatever. Obviously, coach Belichick, you know, can ask me 291 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: anything and I could give him any piece of information 292 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: that we possibly have regarding what we did in college. 293 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: But he's got an incredible plan and it's an incredibly 294 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: established program, and I just hope that any resource that 295 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: I can be, that I can be one that is 296 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: assisting in what it felt like to prepare for a 297 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: season without preseason. And that's the one thing that I 298 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: could say that being in coaching college most recently. That's 299 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: what you know. And with regards to your collaboration with Josh, 300 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: what's the nature of your relationship with him? How long 301 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: have you known Josh? Has there's been much personal interaction 302 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: through the years. Yeah, I actually so way back when 303 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: my last game as a graduate assistant at University of 304 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: Florida was Josh's last game as a graduate assistant at 305 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: Michigan State and we played one another in the Citrus Bowl. 306 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: And so I've known Josh. It's two thousand and one, 307 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: two thousand, I think that was two thousand and then 308 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: we both got in the NFL the same year. We 309 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: both started on the defensive side of the ball. I 310 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: was a defensive quality control coach for three years for 311 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans for Vic Fangio and Dom Capers. He 312 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: was a defensive two c here. We met it at 313 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: probably almost annually at different times at the Combine or 314 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl, or we had a couple of 315 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: symposiums we were at together. So I've known Josh for 316 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: twenty years and I've always wanted the opportunity to work 317 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: for Josh and he actually I was in Denver the 318 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: year before he arrived. I was with Mike on that 319 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: staff and it didn't work out then, but it's worked 320 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: out now and I'm I've loved every day since being 321 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: here working with Josh. Right, thank you so much. Thank 322 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: you very much, Jed. I know there were other questions, 323 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: but we're out of time. Brian Hoyer is waiting, so 324 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: thank you very much, Jed. Okay, thank you guys. I 325 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: appreciate it.
