1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Good morning, Bill. How are you hi? Good? How you doing? Sorry? 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: Run a few minutes late this morning. Oh it's okay, Bill, 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,239 Speaker 1: No problem at all. Um. Tough night Saturday night. I 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: was interested to what your special Team's captain, Matthew Slater 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: said after the game, saying that that loss could potentially 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: be a good wake up wake up call for the team. 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: Do you share sentiments, Well, I think we learned from 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: every game. Hopefully, you know, we can learn from the wins, 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: learn from the losses, learn from each game, and improve, 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: and so we certainly need to do that. That wasn't 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: wasn't good enough to win Saturday night. Bill. Max said 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: that you guys kind of had a bad week of practice, 13 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: and you've always talked about the importance of practice. What 14 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: was some of the things that maybe you saw in 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,959 Speaker 1: practice that might have led into the game on Saturday night? 16 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: Just execution, concentration, things that we just didn't didn't do 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: well on U. I mean, it wasn't one thing or 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: one person or whatever, just in a general level of 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: execution and practice. Bill, Now that you had yesterday to 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: look over film as you prepare for the Bills game, 21 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: is there anything from that game that you can take 22 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: as as maybe a learning lesson for the team going 23 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: through practices this week. Take from what game from the 24 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: game on Saturday night after watching film yesterday. Yeah, well, 25 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: I mean there's obviously a lot of things that we 26 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: need to do better, we need to be more consistent 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: at and and we'll work we'll work to do those 28 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: We'll work on in practice and and go overm you know, 29 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: with the team and make sure we all understand what 30 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: we need to do and then hopefully go out there 31 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: and and do it better. Bill, when you when you 32 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: think of this game, and I know it's obviously you 33 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: try to learn from it, and then you also we 34 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: move on. I think the biggest thing, at least that 35 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: I would take away from it as a player is 36 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: knowing that, hey, uh, the importance of the loss now 37 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: prepares us for a very good game coming up against 38 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills team. And now, like you said, it's 39 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: all about the focus and not making some of those 40 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: same mistakes. Did the message that message has been told 41 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: to those players in that in your locker room. What 42 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: are some of the things that you know, knowing the 43 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills that you guys have to make sure that 44 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: you really stay focused on against them coming up Sunday. Well, 45 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's the usual things. I don't think 46 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: that's anything we haven't talked about all year. It's not 47 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: turning the ball over, it's not giving up big plays 48 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: on defense, it's ball handling and feel position in the 49 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: kicking game. It's going forward on offense. We had had 50 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: a negative play and every drive offensively accept for one. 51 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: So you know what I mean, I think it's anything 52 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: that's we don't talk about every week. We just didn't 53 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: do a very good job of it. So hopefully we can, 54 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: like I said, improve on that and and fix those things. Bill, 55 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: you gave a lot of praise to Josh Allen after 56 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: the wild Weather game a few weeks ago. Weather looks 57 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: clear for Sunday. At the moment when you look at 58 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: him in that type of setting, what type of challenges 59 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: will he present to your defense? Yeah, he's well, I 60 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: mean you could see and in the Tampa game and 61 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: how many quarterback runs they called, and you know how 62 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: involved he was in the game plan. I mean, you know, 63 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: he's he can make throws on time and in the pocket, 64 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: he can extend plays with his legs, and he can 65 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: extend plays with his legs and run and extend him 66 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: and throw um. They use him in the running game, 67 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: in the quarterback running game, so they already might have 68 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: a building wildcap package just with him at the quarterbacks. 69 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: So he can attack in a lot of different ways. 70 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: And he's very difficult to defend. Hard guy to tackle, 71 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: even if you have it played right or sort of 72 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: have him contained on the you know, in a scramble 73 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: or on a quarterback running situation, and it's still getting 74 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: him on the ground, as you know, that's a problem too. 75 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: So yeah, he's a he's a tough guy to handle. 76 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: We're joined by Bill Belichick on the Harbor One Hotline, 77 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: and I saw this over the weekend. Bill. I found 78 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,679 Speaker 1: it amazing. Mike Rereas noted in his story at ESPN 79 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: dot com that this Sunday marks your eight hundredth game 80 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: as a coach in the NFL, spanning forty seven years. Obviously, 81 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: you were just an indie, you know, with you started 82 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: your career with the Baltimore Colts, Ted Marcher Brota. What 83 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: were your goals then? Have they evolved time? And are 84 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: you as stunted as I am to read that you've 85 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: been a part of that many NFL games. Uh yeah, 86 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: it's a little and when you think about in that perspective, 87 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's it's a lot. Um you know, 88 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: I think my my goal in nineteen seventy five it's 89 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: not not a whole lot different than it is this year. 90 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: It was to do whatever I could to help the 91 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: team and whatever role I was asked to do it in. 92 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: And coach marcher Broda gave me a you know, an opportunity. 93 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: And I had responsibilities in certain areas when we started, 94 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: and then over the course of the year, some of 95 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: those responsibilities changed, a lot of them didn't, but um, 96 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: I tried to do the best I could to help 97 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: the team, you know, whatever I was asked to do. 98 00:05:53,520 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: And however, many years later, I had certain responsibilities and 99 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: try to do the best that I can for the 100 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: team in those areas, count on a lot of other 101 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: people to to help and and you know, do the 102 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: best that they can in the in the jobs and 103 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: the responsibilities that they have, and then ultimately as a 104 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: team put it all together and and try to outperform 105 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: our opponents, you know, on a game day. So the 106 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: roles have changed, but my lossity hasn't changed. Bill. When 107 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: you look at every game, every game has its kind 108 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: of own little you know, nuances as they as the 109 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: game goes about. You know, what are some of the 110 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: things like in the game against the Colts, Like game 111 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: plan wise changes when you when you get down fourteen 112 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: points or you know, when you look at that that game, 113 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: how does your game plan change as a coach when 114 00:06:53,200 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: you kind of dig yourself a little bit of a hole. Well, 115 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: I don't think it changes too much until you get 116 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: to the point in the game where you know you 117 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: just don't have enough possessions left to overcome the deficit 118 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: um or you're right on that line where you you 119 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: know you're you're right on the edge of you might 120 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: not have enough possessions left overcome the deficit. So that's 121 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: where things, you know, really change the most. But you know, 122 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: being down fourteen nothing that I think at that point 123 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: you just realize that, you know, defensively, especially in a 124 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: game like that, you a lot of your third down 125 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: and passing game calls and all that would be minimized. Uh, 126 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: you know, until the score of the game shifted, um, 127 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: And so you just you know, spend more time I 128 00:07:54,640 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: would say talking about um, you know, early down plays 129 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: or you know, ball possession plays and that type of thing. 130 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: And and so that's that's really what we did. And 131 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, we knew we were gonna have to face 132 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: more of those kind of plays, more runs, more um, 133 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, possession type passes and kind of you know gear. 134 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna we were gonna have to face 135 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: those anyway. It's just the volume was going to increase 136 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: versus you know, a situation where the score had been reversed, 137 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: you know, like it was in Cleveland, and and it 138 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: became more of a you know, passing you know, a 139 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: passing game, and and so you know, I don't think 140 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: there was it wasn't like that. We saw a lot 141 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: of things we weren't prepared for defensively, um, but the 142 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: the volume and the way the game played out was 143 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: not balanced. It was you know, obviously more running and 144 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: and ball possession type plays. And again that can go 145 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: the other way from the score changed. Offensively, we tried 146 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: to continue to stay at a long yardage and make 147 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: positive plays and not turn them all over. And you know, 148 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: we just weren't able to consistently do that, and that 149 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: that hurt us. We moved the ball, but it hurt 150 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: us in the red area. The negative plays hurt us 151 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: in the red area, you know, creating longer yardage situations 152 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: on penalties and you know that came up multiple times. 153 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: So it's just it's hard to score in the red 154 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: area as it is, and then when you you go 155 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: backwards with pre snap penalties and things like that, then 156 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: it just so those are I mean, those are the 157 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: kind of things we really talked about during the game. Again, defensively, 158 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, they they mixed it up a little bit 159 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: like they usually do nothing. That was again I would 160 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: say that we hadn't seen before, but we didn't do 161 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: a good enough job of handling it, and we didn't 162 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: do a good enough job of consistently staying out of 163 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: long yard situations, which they are hard to convert against anybody, 164 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: but certainly hard against the Coals. Well, I know it's 165 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: hard to find the positives when you when you lose 166 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: a tough game like that, But you know, how'd you fail? 167 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: Your team was able to to fight back, put yourself 168 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: in a position where you're able to get the game 169 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: back within one score. I mean, can you take anything 170 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: away from that? Yeah, But that's what sure. I mean, yeah, 171 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: I give our team credit for that, of course, but 172 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: it's not good enough and and I don't think anybody 173 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: satisfied with that. And that's that's what I would hope 174 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: we would do anyway, regardless of what the score was. 175 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: So and we just have to collectively coach better, play better. 176 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: Wasn't really good enough by anyone on any level, So 177 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: collectively we have to find a way to do a 178 00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: better job. Is that your ship station get shipped on 179 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: Question of the Week? Make this holiday season a little 180 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: brighter with code Coco for a free sixty day trial 181 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: on shipstation dot com. Bill with the COVID cases rising 182 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: across you know, every every league and across the country 183 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: as a whole. We talked to Devin mccordy on Friday 184 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: about it, and he said, you know, as a team, 185 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: we have to put the team first. We have to 186 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: maybe change things that we that we were doing in 187 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: the past. How proud are you of of this group 188 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: and how they've been able to handle the stress, the 189 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: added stress, uh that that that COVID has presented to 190 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: them once again? Well, yeah, I think that the teams 191 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: has done a good job of you know, making good 192 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: decisions and trying to stay healthy, you know, and that 193 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: that challenge that we you know, we're all facing. But 194 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: it's really, um, you know, it's a problem that's not 195 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: going away. And so whatever we did last month, or 196 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: last week or or yesterday, UM, you know, can all 197 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: I'll get washed away pretty quickly. UM. And again with 198 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: with some of the you know, the league protocols and 199 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: so forth, things they've done. I mean, that's that's really 200 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: changed dramatically since Thursday to Friday to Saturday, you know, 201 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: and out here we are Monday, and we don't really 202 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: know whether at this point, you know, this is all 203 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: supposed to end after today, but exactly what it's going 204 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: to go to I don't think we know, or may 205 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: get extended. UM testing rules have been changed and so forth. 206 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: And then you know, of course all of us are 207 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: around other people outside the building, um, families and and 208 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: you know, kids and you know, whatever the family dynamics 209 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: are or the household dynamics are, and then those those 210 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: people are all out in the world in their lives 211 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: and then it all comes together. It's on pointing. So 212 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of you know, there's a lot of 213 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: potential for you know, interaction and transmission, and so you know, 214 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: we all have to just be as diligent, you know, 215 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: as we can, and that's you know, it's challenging, but 216 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: that's the same for all the other thirty one teams 217 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: and so we'll just we're trying to do the best 218 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: that we can. But it's it's a very much of 219 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 1: an ongoing situation. We can't you know, look back at 220 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: what did or didn't happen in October and November. We've 221 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: got to deal with today, tomorrow, um and and each day. 222 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: And that's that's really the responsibility for all of us. 223 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: And that's that's very challenging. But again, all teams are 224 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: dealing with it. So it's just one of the things 225 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: that's a dynamic of this season that you know, we'll 226 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: have to work here, Bill last one for me, uh 227 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: in the game, you see there's this whole new analytics thing. 228 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: You know, you see Frank Wright going for it on 229 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: fourth and one seems like almost every time, and you 230 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: had you guys had a situation where you had it 231 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: at I believe it was maybe third and goal from 232 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: the one of the two yadline. You get the false 233 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: start and you ultimately have to go back a little 234 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: bit and you decide to kick a field goal. Can 235 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: you take us into your thought process a little bit. 236 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: What makes you go, Okay, we're gonna kick a field 237 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: goal in this situation rather than try to go for it, 238 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: uh and try to ultimately score a touchdown. Well, I 239 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: think it's all those things. You know, the score, the 240 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: situation in the game, what the distance is, what, how 241 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: could you feel about what you you would be doing, 242 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: how you know, how sure you are about what you're 243 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: going to get from your opponent? And you know so 244 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: I mean we didn't convert on the fourth and one, 245 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: so you know, it's again, it's just it really eats 246 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: situations a little bit different. It really depends on again, score, time, 247 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: field position, you know, play. I mean the three that 248 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: the Colts converted that you know, we're all quarterback snakes. 249 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: They were all you know, fourth and less than one, 250 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: and we were close on the first one and not 251 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: as close but sort of close on the third one. 252 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: The second one week, you know, it gained a couple 253 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: of yards, So I mean, we just have to defend 254 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: that situation better. But it's you know, going forward on 255 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: fourth and a few inches or fourth and a foot. 256 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: It's a little different than fourth and two, and but 257 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: again not saying you can't make any of them or 258 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: not make any of them. It's just again how you 259 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: feel about all the things that are related to that 260 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: eight situations different. No, I try to make the best 261 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: decision that I can for the team. That's really what 262 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: I'll continue to do. But there's there's a lot of 263 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: factors that you know, get get considered. It was a 264 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: point where you just you know, you have no choice. 265 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: It's it's a four down situation period. So then that 266 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: declares itself that the other thing, there's some degree of 267 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: looking at your options trying to think the best one. 268 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: All right, Bill, thanks for your time. Quickly. You mentioned 269 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: fourth and two. Is there any doubt in your mind 270 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: that falk was at the thirty yard line and he 271 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: gained the two yards in two thousand and nine in 272 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. The last loss of the Colts 273 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: came in the two thousand and nine where you went 274 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: for it on fourth and two from your twenty eight 275 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: against Peyton Manning and the big play that everybody was 276 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: talking about is your fourth and two. He was pushed 277 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: back after making the line to gain in my opinion. 278 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a close call. But you know, again, 279 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter what you think or what I 280 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: think is it's the officials have a call and we 281 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: live with it. You know. There are a lot of 282 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: players in that game that could have, as they've been 283 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: coached or played differently better, could have helped us. But yeah, 284 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: that one didn't work out unfortunately. No. All right, Bill, 285 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: I hope you and your family have a merry Christmas. 286 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: Thank you for your time this morning. Merry Christmas. All right, Okay, 287 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you and all the listeners. Fuck next week. 288 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: All right, there's Bill Belichick.
