1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Tony Michelle and looking

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: at some of his runs last night, it seems like

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: his his patience has really improved. That the line of

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: scrimmage before kind of picking a hole, and I'm wondering

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: if you would agree with that assessment. Um, yeah, that's

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: probably fair. He's uh, and Sony gets better every day,

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: he gets better every week. Um, he's still got a

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: long way to go, but he does a lot of

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: good things out there, and we'll just keep trying to

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: get him more experience and and get a more reaths

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: and opportunities to see different different things. Um. You know,

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: the defense is that we've seen in the past few

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: weeks from Miami to Indy h to Kansas City last

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: night were quite quite different, especially on the line of scrimmage.

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: So even going back to Detroit, so, um, kind of

16
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: a new thing in some ways, new things every week,

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: even though it might be the same place, there's the

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: way that they played and the way that they're what

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 1: they do up front is quite different, has been quite

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: different from week to week. So but yeah, he's he's

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: certainly improving in all areas, and he's he's running hard

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: and take care of the ball. So those are good things.

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. Next question, Mike Petrackby, and

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: I would ask anybody else to get five started. I

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: wanted to ask the question. Thank you, Stacy morning Bill.

26
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you. I wanted to ask you

27
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: about Chris Hogan. Obviously there's been tons to talk about

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: gronk Elman, White and Josh Gordon all in the receiving game.

29
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: But Chris had a big, big game last night, four catches,

30
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: four targets, obviously going up and battling for that catch

31
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: on third and one in the fourth quarter. Can you

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: speak to his work ethic and how he's kept his

33
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: focus when the passes weren't always coming his way in

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: the last a couple of weeks. But Chris is one

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: of the hardest working guys on our team and the UM.

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: He's got a really good stamina and can kind of

37
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: run run all day UM and and worked extremely hard. UM.

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: You know, also last night he was in a lot

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: of kicking game plays too, so you know, he's able

40
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: to help us in a number of different areas. And

41
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: those tough kids really compete hard. And as I said,

42
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: as as good stamina to Stamfield, for a long time. Well,

43
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: when you say stamina, billt um is it one thing

44
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: to have stamina, but another to still be able to

45
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: execute at a high level when you're you know, playing

46
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: so many snaps and not only offense but special teams executed,

47
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: and also be able to keep your speed. Um, you know,

48
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: you can be out there and take up space, but

49
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: to not be able to play at the top speed,

50
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: then it's not really quite the same player. Sometimes those

51
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: players can't do it for a full sixty minutes. They

52
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: have to you know'll be out for plays. I'd say

53
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Chris has a good ability to to keep his speed

54
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: and because of the stamma, he can stay out there

55
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: for quite a while. Great, Thanks Bill, Sure you're welcome.

56
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: Next question Andrew Callahan, followed by Phil Perry. Good morning, Bill,

57
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Good thank you. I'm wondering if you can tell us,

58
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: you know what about your matchup with the Kansas City's

59
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: offense last night. Lent itself to more three corner Nickel

60
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: versus some of the three safety bigger Nicol looks you've

61
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: been playing more offen the season. Well, we played both

62
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: quite a bit this season. Um, I would say it's

63
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: necessarily not one hundred percent. Time i'm three receivers in

64
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: the field, three receivers on the field, it's more a

65
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: three corner nickel. And when there's two receivers on the field,

66
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: it's more two corner nickel. Now that's not one hundred PERCENTUM,

67
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: but I would say that's for example against Miami that

68
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: was that was practically all three corners. So, you know,

69
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: it would depend on the situation. It would depend on

70
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: who the receivers are and kind of what the what

71
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: our overall game plan is, and what our depth is. UM.

72
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: If you don't have depth of corner, then you're in

73
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: a three safety situation. And if you're not don't have

74
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: a lot of depth of safety, you could be in

75
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: a three corner situation. So that could you know, there

76
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: could be an overriding factor there. Certainly we can do both,

77
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: but UM so big combination of all those things, who

78
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: their players are, what we're trying to do, who we

79
00:04:49,920 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: have available, UM, and who we want to do it with. Hey,

80
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: Bill wanted to follow up on something that you said

81
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: last night. I think you were asked a question about

82
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: Hill and some of the production he had. You mentioned

83
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: that he you know, a lot of that was was

84
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: on a scrambled drill And I'm wondering was the was

85
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: the long touchdown that the seventy five yard or would

86
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: you consider that a scrambled drill type of situation. I

87
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: know Mahomes moved up in the pocket, but is that,

88
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: um if he had the ball along enough, I guess

89
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: to kind of consider that a scrambled drill play. For

90
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: you guys, you're talking about the one to hill or

91
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: the one to hunt, uh, the one to hit. I

92
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: just said it was bad, bad defense, bad coaching, bad playing.

93
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: Its bad every night. The reason it wasn't really an

94
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: extended play. It was a big snow and a scramble.

95
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: The other the one the haunt, was more of a

96
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: scramble play, right, So it's more of the same bad coaching,

97
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: bad playing, just bad defense. So on those plays in general,

98
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: those scramble drill plays, is it is one of the

99
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: challenges of those um, just the timing in terms of

100
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: like everybody seeing it at the same time and understanding, Okay,

101
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: the rules on the play have changed now or is

102
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: it just a timing thing where everybody kind of knows

103
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: at a certain point it's you know, you've kind of

104
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: transitioned to this this scrambled drill sequence. Every play is

105
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: a little bit different, so there's no necessarily cut and

106
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: drive rule, but depending on what you're in. We have

107
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: rules that we follow based on what the call is

108
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: and and so forth, and so we obviously didn't do

109
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: it very well in a couple of instances. So it's

110
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: got to be a coach better. It's got to be executed, Betters.

111
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: It's not a mystery. We've played almost every quarterback we played.

112
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: Its not a scrambling quarterback, So it's not like we

113
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: haven't seen one before, hasn't come up before. We just

114
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: had a couple of breakdowns last night. It was more

115
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: than one play, but there were a couple of breakdowns

116
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: that we're just I ended up in bad plays, which

117
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: we got to do a better job. I've got to

118
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: coach it better. We gotta play it better. Thanks Hill,

119
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Like the last question is Mike Chase, go ahead,

120
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: Mike Bill. I wanted to ask you about Gaskowski and

121
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: the five for five on the field goals um the

122
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: fifty yard or was a big one just because it

123
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: made a seven point game there at the end of

124
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Fifty yards to that end of the field.

125
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: Note obviously you didn't have any hesitation sending him out

126
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: there with that close to about as far out as

127
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: as you were thinking on that for him or do

128
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: you think they're you know, you had a little more

129
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: room to take get there. Um. Yeah, I'm not sure

130
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: what would have happened if it had been longer, or

131
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: what the the situation would have been, distance squais and

132
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: so forth. But um, you know in the first drive,

133
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: what on a fifty seven yard or I think so

134
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: that really it's more of a punter go for the

135
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: situation on the first drive. Um. But yeah on the

136
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: fifty yard er, I mean it felt pretty confident and

137
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: it Steve hit the ball well and warm ups hit

138
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: the well all night. Um. So so you know, again

139
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: sometimes say that guy like Steve Van that he just

140
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, goes out there and and bangs him through

141
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: so um consistently, um from shore end long and he's

142
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: just done a really good job for us. And last night,

143
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, as many points as that were in that game,

144
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: you don't really think of three points as being that big,

145
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: but they really were, as you pointed out, and you know,

146
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: Steve came through forces, you know, five big kicks, and

147
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 1: I was curious about the challenge. I mean that is

148
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: that an easy challenge for you to throw just based

149
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: on where it was in the field, like almost seem

150
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: like it's almost like right in front of you guys.

151
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: Or is that a hard one just because you never

152
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: quite know, you know what what they're going to be

153
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: able to see on that result, you know what I'm

154
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: saying on that. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure do Um Yeah,

155
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: well again that's he goes back to, you know, the

156
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: replay some of the replay issues who've talked about before, UM,

157
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: that would sound that particular play. It was right in

158
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: front of us, and I think we all felt like

159
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: he didn't he didn't get the first down that he

160
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: stepped out of balance before that, and the officials on

161
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: the sideline there kind of had to get out of

162
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: the way because of the angle that um, that Hill

163
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: was running at and so he was it was kind

164
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: of behind the play, and the other official was further

165
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: down the field when they came and marked the ball,

166
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: just it appeared like they market further ahead than than

167
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: where he really went out. UM, based on the live look,

168
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,359
Speaker 1: you know, I asked the coaches for a look upstairs,

169
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: and it wasn't really much up there. Um. I think

170
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: they only replayed at once and it wasn't a clear

171
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: cut shot. But we were all pretty sure from the

172
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: view that we had that that he was short, so

173
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: I challenged it. And in that situation, I think you

174
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: just got to hope that there's an angle that backs

175
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: up what you think you saw, which sometimes there is,

176
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: sometimes there isn't. Kind of like the Hawkins catch in

177
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: the Houston game. Um, I didn't think it was a

178
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: clean catch. I thought I had a pretty good view

179
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: of it, but when it was reviewed it was upheld,

180
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: so um, you know, maybe I didn't see it the

181
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: way I thought I saw it, But it was a

182
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: similar situation on that play. There wasn't a a replay

183
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 1: view that just showed, okay, this is a play. You

184
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: got a challenge. It was kind of a on the

185
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: field view of it that you hope would be substantiated

186
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: by video evidence, but you're not sure that it will.

187
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: It won't be. So um, I thought that was the

188
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: big play in the game. You know, we had a

189
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: championship offers there on fourth down and game like that.

190
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: I think you you know, you want that opportunity, so

191
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: the way that one turned up, Thank you Bok, thanks coach,

192
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone,
