1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Good morning, Bill. I wanted to ask you about, um, 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: the first challenge of the third quarter yesterday that you 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: had and whether or not there was any consideration to 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: challenge or if you even can challenge two aspects of 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: a particular call, and if you did, would that constitute 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: two challenges in one play? Um? Uh, well yeah, yes, 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: a note you hit it exactly right. Um, we challenge 8 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: both aspects of the play. It's one challenge. It's one play. 9 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: We challenge the offensive interference and we challenge um the 10 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: thought so U exactly what you said it was, and 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: um when we challenge it, and I thought we had good, 12 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: a good challenge on on both counts. Okay. The reason 13 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: I ask is because the official play by play I 14 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: think only in case that the position, the spotting of 15 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: the ball was the only thing challenge. So you did 16 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: indeed challenge the fact that there could have been offensive 17 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: pass in affairance on Kelsey. Yes, absolutely, yeah, that's exactly right. 18 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: All right, Thank you, Bill, You're welcome. Next question. Mike Reeves, 19 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: followed by Rich Consin. Gree didn't feel I was actually 20 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: curious on the same topic there on that challenge, you know, 21 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: with the PI stuff, with the coaches challenges we've seen that. 22 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: We talked earlier in the year on conference calls about 23 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: clear and obvious. If I recall, I was curious how 24 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: confident you were that whether, however, they ruled clear and 25 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: obvious on the PI part of it. How confident were 26 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: you that the spotting of the ball would at least 27 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: almost protect your other two challenges based on what you 28 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: saw on that play, Like, because I am I think 29 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: I'm right if they respotted the ball, even if they 30 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: got a first down, because it was respotted, you thought 31 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: you would have still had two challenges. Do I have 32 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: that right? Well, respotting would have only it would have 33 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: only mattered if it was short of the line again, okay, 34 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: got it, got it? Got it? Okay? And and then 35 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: the blocked the block field goal. Um. When you watched 36 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: that over, Um, how much of that was good execution 37 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: on the Chiefs versus maybe you know, could do better 38 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: job blocking on the Patriot side. Well, they have a 39 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: good overload, Ross, I mean we got to block it. 40 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: Next question, Rich Thompson or if anybody else get five 41 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: star if you want to ask the question. Hey, good morning, bill, Um, Hey, 42 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: you're down to your third center. I just wanted to James. 43 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: Farence held up, Ye, James. You know, James has done 44 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: a good job for us. UM, Like everybody in the 45 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: play last night, and everybody coached in the game, there's 46 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: there's all plays we'd like to you don't have back. 47 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, so we have James. He stepped in there 48 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: and you know he's You're giving us a you know, 49 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: game and a half of very competitive kind of a play. Okay, 50 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: thank you. Next question, Phil Perry, followed by Doug Kin. 51 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: I built some of your defensive players last night. UM 52 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: commented on how it was important for you guys to 53 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: just try to limit the big play in the second 54 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: half there Just looking at some of the numbers, looked 55 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: like a pretty significant improvement on that side of the 56 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: ball first half the second half. So I'm just curious 57 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: what sort of adjustment you guys made to UM to 58 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: get some of the results that you did. I mean, 59 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: the players did a good job, plays a really good job. UM. 60 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: You know, we rushed the quarterback low and covered pretty well. UM, 61 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: tackled and tackled fairly well. So the players compete really are. 62 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: They did a good job a very very explosive offense. UM. 63 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: They competed hard again. The next question, good kind, Bill, 64 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: I think you can the last couple of weeks, you guys, 65 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: have you used some of Michelle pretty heavily early on 66 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: and then maybe he's gone away from him a little bit. 67 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: Is that just based on how the games have gone 68 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: or is there any other reason for that? Yeah, I 69 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 1: know this is how it's going. Good. Thanks Michael Checker, 70 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: followed by Bob Coaching. Thanks Stacy. Thanks sticking with the 71 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: running game, Bill, Brandon Bolden has been really productive I 72 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: think in the red zone running the ball this year 73 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: and obviously on the Jeff sweep last night it was 74 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: good for a touchdown. What what is it about Brandon 75 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: Bolden that makes him so dependable in the red zone? 76 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: I think Brandon's dependable fourth everywhere, UM all four down 77 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: for a second, third, and fourth down, so wherever we 78 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: need to use. And I think we all we all 79 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence in him. I do. I 80 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: know our teammates, teammates do all those all offuntive coaches 81 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: is so, and we have a lot of confidence on 82 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: him on four down. A good player, a nice situation. 83 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: And if I can follow, Bill, has his running style 84 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: evolved as he's been in the league for so many 85 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: years or has he pretty much been you know, the 86 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: kind of running back that he was coming out of college. Well, 87 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: this is a different than college. I think it's been 88 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: pretty consistent. Thanks Jill, Yeah, you're alcome, Yeah, thanks Stacy. 89 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: Good morning, Bill. I wanted to ask you about the 90 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: block punt by Nate Ebner. This is the fourth block 91 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: punt this season, a franchise record, and essentially just wanted 92 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: to ask you about Joe Judge and Cam a Ford 93 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: and this this special team staff and how they've been 94 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: able to orchestrate you know, that place so frequently. How 95 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: much of it is exploiting a weakness you see in 96 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: and other team's punt protection. How much of it is 97 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: a favorable matchup but in kind of playing year strength, 98 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: especially if you know guys like Mead and Matthews who 99 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: come up and blocks me silas. Oh yeah, well those 100 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Cam and Joe, you know, do a good 101 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: job of game plan and it's all the things you 102 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: talked about, schemes, situation, matchups, um so forth. So yeah, 103 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: on that particular play, that was a little unusual. Um, 104 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it looked like they had a 105 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: fake called, and then they they snapped into the punter 106 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: and part of the part of the line was blocking 107 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: a fake and the other part was looked like they 108 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: were trying to pump the ball. So not sure exactly 109 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: what what they were doing on that yet that it 110 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: looks looks like a very called and and if you 111 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: could follow up when you later in the game, did 112 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: not deploy or dispatch or return, man, what what's what's 113 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: what's what's that situation in particular? How does that dictate 114 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: you know, that decision not to put Mohammed back there 115 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: or anybody else in that situation. Yeah, well we've we've 116 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: used that before, you know, obviously a way to put 117 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: press around them on the other team's punt protection. You 118 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: can account for ten guys and start accounting for a 119 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: leven that you know, it's great another problem, right, Thanks, Okay, 120 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: thank you, welcome. Next question Mike Reef, followed by Rich Thompson. 121 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: Still offensively, it seemed like early um, I seemed like 122 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: two tight ends was a heavy grouping for you guys. 123 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: How accurate would it be to just say that that's 124 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: as much as you guys have used it this season? Yeah, 125 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm like we're we use a lot of different personnel 126 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: group things, so they all need to be ready to go. 127 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: All those groups need to be ready to go. They 128 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: know that, you know, we have roles for a lot 129 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: of different people, and then we'll continue to do that. Anyway, 130 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: we were talking about before that we haven't had a 131 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: lot of I don't think a lot of challenges to 132 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: talk about this year. Obviously this game was different. I'm 133 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: curious from your perspective, like when you're throwing the first 134 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: one that we talked about the time left in the 135 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: game three oh seven left in the third quarter, Like 136 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: how much are you balancing that knowing that if this 137 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: challenge doesn't go my way, I only have one left? 138 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: Like where is the time cut off in your mind? 139 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: And I know part of that situational the third and 140 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: four when you decide to throw that, Like how much 141 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: I guess the movie how much are you thinking about 142 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: preserving you know, direct your other challenges in that situation. Yeah, 143 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: every every situation is different, you know. I try to 144 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: do with this this mean what I think will help 145 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: the team, and I believe it's a good challenge, then 146 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm likely to throw it. If it's not done, I 147 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't. I felt good about the challenge, but it 148 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: didn't work out. Next question, Rich Thompson, Paul Boy, Phil Perry, Hey, coach, 149 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: just talk about Jake Baily in terms of length, strength 150 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: and position. I just noticed that he uh, he set 151 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: the club record for punch inside the twenty. Oh. Jake's 152 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: a very talented player. I think we can all see that. Um, 153 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: it's got good good mechanics, good athleticism, um, you know, 154 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: good legs, speed, and it's got a real it's a 155 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: good high level of maturity for his agents experience. So done, 156 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: a good job for us, and I'm glad we have him. Okay, 157 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: thank you, and that's like the last question. That's that's 158 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: the last question. We feel carried great. Thanks Bill. I'm 159 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: wondering have you had any sort of conversation with l 160 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: Riveron since the game last night about why things were 161 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: called the way they were called, the mechanics of what 162 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: went on last night. Yeah, so only those conversations that 163 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: I have with the league or or UM. I would 164 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: treat those as private conversations. And you talk to the 165 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: officials after the game or somebody didn't ask them questions, 166 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: So that's that's your opportunity to do that and say 167 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 1: you should take advantage of and see what they have 168 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: to say if you have a question about it. I 169 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: wouldn't try to speak for somebody else. That's not really 170 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: I don't believe in that. So the have a question 171 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: about something that they did or what they're what you 172 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: know they have a question about, I think you should 173 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 1: ask them. And I think somebody you know did or 174 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: should have done that last night. That's you know, that's 175 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: that important to you, then go ahead and do it. 176 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: Our guy, Mike Reefs was was on that last night, 177 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: and I get your UM, I understand what you're saying there. 178 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: I do want to follow up just quickly and just 179 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: ask so you feel like the communication between the team, 180 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: you and the officiating department al River Run has been 181 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: has been good, has been fluid? Um this season? Yeah? Yeah, 182 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: So I really appreciate the question, but I think you're officials, 183 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,359 Speaker 1: You're officiating questions really need to go to the officials. 184 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: You know. I'm trying to coach the team and do 185 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: the best that I can make our team as competitive 186 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: as possible and would as many games as possible. If 187 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: that's really what I'm focused on, and I think your 188 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: other questions should be directed towards somebody else, frankly, and 189 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: one last question, Mandoel Wolfson, Thanks da, Good morning, Bill 190 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: so Um. Two offensive snaps for Nikil Harry yesterday. One 191 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: of them came in the red zone, and he really 192 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: should have had his second touchdown in the red zone 193 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: in the last three games. So I'm just wondering what 194 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: went into the decision to limit his snaps but then 195 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: use him in the red zone. And have you've seen 196 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: progress from him as a red zone threat. I'm moving forward. 197 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep n kills many progress in every area 198 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's a lot of ground for 199 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: him to make up the you know, when he came back, 200 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: also major reserve in this season, so you know, he's 201 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: working hard at it and he's improved, and as I said, 202 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: he's got a way to go. And you know, we'll 203 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: try to utilize our our team and our players. You know, 204 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: that's the way we can based on all the circumstances 205 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: that are involved in each and every game. Okay, thank you, 206 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: all right, awesome
