1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: It can't help. But as it comes around to playing,

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: you to realize that it's been twenty years since you

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: were here and so much has changed and your you

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: and Bill are still doing what you're doing at such

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: a high level. How do you look back on that

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: time here? I know you've done up before, but if

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: I could ask me to do it again, Well, it's

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: so it was yesterday, Tom, how do I look up fun? Um? Yeah,

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: it was a good experience. You know, it did quite

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: work out right um in but uh, you know, I

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: we love New England. It was the area was fun

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: and a good place to represent and all that great

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 1: fans and uh, you know it was it's a it's

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: amazing place, you know, So it really enjoyed it. I

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: think everybody learned a little bit out here, and I

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: think that Robert Trapp has has certainly acknowledged that. Um

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: what did you take from that experience? You say, you

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: know what, next time it's gonna be a little different,

19
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: or usc it's gonna be a little from anything in particular.

20
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's a lot. Um. You know. When when

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: I was there, I was kind of under the impression

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: that we were going to bring in the forty nine

23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: ers system, you know, coming from San Francisco and all

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: of that, and that's not really what what was what happened,

25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, we became a the philosophy and the approach

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: was really a blend of what had been and you know,

27
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: what they had done and all that, and so it

28
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: didn't quite work out the way that I've intended, you

29
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: know in going in there. So UM, I was frustrated

30
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 1: by that. UM. And so when I got my next chance,

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, I was able in at USC to do

32
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: it the way I wanted to do it, And the

33
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: fact that it didn't work out there really sent me

34
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: into a load of covering really the philosophy to really

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: a greater depth than ever. And UM, we've done things

36
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: the same for the last twenty years, you know at

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: SC and here and in our approach and mentality and

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: how we creat people and um, you know, the expectations

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: and stand the program we've all developed really coming out

40
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: of the New England experience. This is Mike Grief. How

41
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: you doing? How you doing? Good? Good? Good to hear you? Good,

42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: good to hear you? To do? UM, I just wanted

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: to ask you, how would you describe how the Seahawks

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: organization responded, Um, you know, organizationally through the Super Bowl

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: with the Patriots and sort of how that ended, which

46
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: probably could have sunk a lot of organizations. Well, we

47
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: went into ah, you know, we had we had to

48
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: go into the normal mode that we go into this,

49
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: get to the truth of what happened, and make sure

50
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: we get on the same page, and then with the truth,

51
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: move forward, you know. And uh, and you know, there

52
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 1: was a grieving process that they had to go through

53
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: because it was, you know, such a dramatic win for them,

54
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: and uh, and we had to deal with it, and

55
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: so we did. And yeah, you know it was sometimes

56
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: when you win the super Bowl, it's just as challenging

57
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: as when you lose the super Bowl, you know. And

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: you see most teams that win the Super Bowl don't

59
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: do very well the next time round, you know. And

60
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: so we were right back there again. I was really

61
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: proud of that. And then with to have the you know,

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: that game happened as it did, you know, we had

63
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: to you had to face the truth and reality of

64
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: it and move forward. And so we have, you know,

65
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: and you know, I hate learning the hard way, but

66
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to. Pete Dougky from Nessing Here, the

67
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: Patriots dressed eleven defensive backs on Sunday nine at them

68
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: played defensively basically all over the field. So how challenging

69
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: is that for an offense to face that kind of

70
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: versatility and especially for a quarterbacks after deal with that. Well, no,

71
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: they've they've pulled you know, legitimate challenge is as long

72
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: as you know, they don't have thirteen guys on the field,

73
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: we got to figure it out, you know. But they've

74
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: they've got enough dvsas to fledge you kind of. Um,

75
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: they do a really nice job with their system in

76
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: the pro It's as uh, well orchestrated and high tech

77
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: as you can get. Um, you know, built down a

78
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: great job over the years, consistently adapting and changing and

79
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: staying you know, staying at the cutting edge of what's necessary.

80
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: And they're continuing to do it. You know. Steven dbs

81
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: on the field this week, you know, and that's just

82
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: that's a you know, it's just part of the you know,

83
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: dealing with the opponent. Fortunately, we have a whole week

84
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: to work on. Hey, Pete, this is Ben Bolling from

85
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: the Boston Globe. Between between the two thousand and twelve games,

86
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and the two thousand and sixteen games. Uh,

87
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: why is it that the Patriots and Seahawks always played

88
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: these epic games that come that go back and forth

89
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: and come down to the end. I don't know, Like

90
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: I had no idea, you know, if I knew that,

91
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: I orchestrated, I like them like that. So um, but

92
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: that's you know, it's just the way we've had really

93
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: even matchups and and uh, you know, we've been fortunate

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: in a couple of them. And um, I mean, we'll

95
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: see what happens this week, but that that two thousand

96
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,559
Speaker 1: and twelve games specifically, you had a really young team

97
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: back then. Everyone said, you know, beating the Patriots like

98
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: that in that fashion was a big moment for the

99
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: organization back then. And here you are eight years now

100
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks are still you still got your program

101
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: on topic. Just now with eight years of perspective, what

102
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: did that two thousand and twelve game meaning for your organization? Well,

103
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: it was a great game for Russell, you know, early on,

104
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: just the matchup of a of an excellent team and

105
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: being able to come to us think it was raining

106
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: a little bit too, you know, and it was wet out,

107
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: uh to you know, have a way to win a

108
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: game at the end and find the play that you

109
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: need to make it, make it happen and all that.

110
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: Um that now we know, you know, Russell does that

111
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: all the time and it's really almost you know, what

112
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: you come to expect with his play. Um back then,

113
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe people were surprised. He's been that kind

114
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: of player his whole career and we've been you know,

115
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: beneficiary of you know, coaching him up and watching him

116
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 1: play for a long time and a lot of successes

117
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: and a lot of come from behind and a lot

118
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: of dramatic wins and all of that, and because of

119
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: his belief system, and he's just so powerfully confident in

120
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: his outcome and his ability and his teammates and all.

121
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: He's really been very consistent in that matter. Though it

122
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: was early on when we figured that out, but he's

123
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: moving it over and over since. Hey, Peter, this is

124
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: down't thinking. How you doing? What's the He got a

125
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: question for you. Last night, the Mariners and the Giants

126
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: had to move their series from Seattle but San Francisco

127
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: because of poor air quality. Is that's something that the

128
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: Seahawks are are monitoring and you guys monitoring to what

129
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: kind of possibility there could be problems going into this

130
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: weekend and this Sunday. Yeah, so of course we are,

131
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we're we see a turn in

132
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: the weather patterns coming before the weekend that should help

133
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: us out. Um, so we we're tuned into it. It

134
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: looks like you know, the predictions, you know, if you're

135
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: paying attention to the science, the predictions are that, uh,

136
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna move move out some here. So

137
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: but anything can happen, so we got to be ready,

138
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, ready for you know, something to vary. But

139
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: we think it's gonna be fine. Thanks dum. I'm wondering

140
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: how different did Cam Newton look in the Patriots offense

141
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: than he had in the Carolina offense over the years.

142
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: Was it all a mentally kind of the same stuff

143
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: and what were your impressions content, Well, we've playing Carolina

144
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: for years, you know, and I had some great matchups

145
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: with them and playoff games and all kinds of stuff,

146
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: and and so we've had to defend him, you know,

147
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: for a long time. So um, we do know him well,

148
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: and we did see you know, a lot of the

149
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: concepts and principles that he's always been successful at, you know, utilized,

150
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: and I think it's a real it's a real indication

151
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: of you know, Bill's ability to use his talent, you know,

152
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this didn't this was not the same offense

153
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: that you see in years past. And they've obviously done

154
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: a lot of work to the Taylor, you know, to

155
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: make sure that you know, he's a big part of it,

156
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: and they're utilizing the personnel really well. Ape Andrew Callian

157
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: from Boston Herald here um obviously Bill's seat for himself.

158
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: But when you look at Bill's Bill's process and as

159
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: a coach and as an opponent of his, and you

160
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: study out what are the kind of defining qualities of

161
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: that process that he has in his team, Well, there's

162
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: a marvelous consistency, you know. I mean that's just obvious

163
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: statement as you can make. But to get to be

164
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: consistent like that, you know, you've got to have, you know,

165
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: your your mentality and your approach really really nailed. And

166
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: he does. He knows exactly how he wants to do it.

167
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't, you know, regardless of what the circumstances are,

168
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: He's going to bring his team to to the game

169
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: time and uh they're going to play you know, Patriots football,

170
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: and what he's you know, I think just a little

171
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: bit deeper into it, you know who he's done. He's

172
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: he's he's a very very good game planner. Uh. You

173
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: know it does a great job of assessing his own

174
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: talent and utilizing it and also assessing his opponent's talents

175
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: and trying to take advantage of it. And uh, you know,

176
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: it's been something that's been really characteristic of his coaching

177
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: on both sides of the football for a long time.

178
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: And you know, it's just kind of who he is.

179
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: If I mean, they kind of take a week to

180
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: week schematically, I'm wondering from your standpoint, you know, as

181
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 1: a defense that's long had success with a kind of

182
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: a similar structure and system, where do you see the

183
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: strength and weaknesses of maybe you know, your philosophy with

184
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: that same system versus you know how Bill and the

185
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: papers approakes things, you know, kind of unveiling a new

186
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: look week to week. But just it's just you know,

187
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: really I see it playing to our strengths, you know,

188
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: And uh, and I think if you don't understand what

189
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: your strengths are. Then then you're inconsistent and you don't

190
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: know how to you know, recover, you don't know how

191
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: to adjust and adapt. And regardless of which you know

192
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: what defense or offensive play you call, it's how you

193
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: can fix problems and solve your you know, your challenges

194
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: and stuff. And uh, you know, if you're if you

195
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: know your philosophy, then you have a way to figure

196
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: out which you know, you know your answers. If you

197
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: don't have a good, solid philosophy and a good baseline,

198
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: then then you're you know, you're shooting from the hip

199
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: all the time, and you're gonna be like a lot

200
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: of teams, you're gonna you're gonna be up and down,

201
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: you know. So I think the thing that we both

202
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: have shared over the years is is a consistency to

203
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: kind of stay out in front, you know, and and

204
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: you know our numbers, there are winds and our wins,

205
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: and you know the kind of the kind of the

206
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: staffs that kind of follow that, the big staffs that

207
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: follow that or are similar. Because philosophically, um, it's all

208
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: about playing this game, you know fundamentally, and it's really

209
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: good basics and with your principles in order and if

210
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: you don't, then you're up and down and you're all

211
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: around and you don't have anything that you stand for you.

212
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: So I think that's where we're similar. And uh, you

213
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: know they've they've been able to do it better than

214
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: we have. Still, we'll see what happens this weekend. Sure,

215
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: if Pete, this is Bob Sociy from Patriots Radio, and

216
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: I want to pick you back off your last answer

217
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: and the earlier one about Bill's consistency. He's spoken highly

218
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: of you through the years that I've been around the team.

219
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: Is the connection between you two and the mutual perspect

220
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: you have, is it riother than that consistency, not only

221
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: in the way your teams play, but maybe an authenticity

222
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: as different as your approaches, maybe, uh, they're authentic. And

223
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: how much of that is part of that respect that

224
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: Bill has for you and I presume you have for him.

225
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: I think it's just about that Croatian heritage really that

226
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: we share. Um, Yeah, yeah, I think you know. I

227
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: mean that's a there's a million ways to answer the question,

228
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: you know. I I think that we both have been

229
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: fortunate and you know, we came up defensively, and but

230
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: we both have had opportunities over our career to learn

231
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: how to affect our offenses also and um, and so

232
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, we've been able to maintain you know, consistency

233
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: and what we believe and that's what gives you a

234
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: chance of no matter what you're doing, whether you're coaching

235
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: football or running a business or running a family, you know,

236
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: you got to have your act together and what you

237
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: believe in. And so when you when you do have that,

238
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: then then you know how to make the decisions in

239
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: the choices to stay in connection with that approach. And

240
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: so that's that's what I think you're seeing. And and

241
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: when you compare it, Um, you know, they've had a

242
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: marvelous run with Tom Brady that was you know, historic,

243
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: and we're trying to have a similar kind of run

244
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: with with our quarterback and Russell Wilson and UM. So

245
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, you know, we'll see what happens over over

246
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: the next couple of days here and see if we

247
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: can get a game plan together and you know, give

248
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: them a challenge. So you had a birthday yesterday, UM, congratulations.

249
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I don't really feel like it's a

250
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: congratulation this kind of situation, but yeah, I know that's

251
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, um became quick will be done? Bill? Here

252
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: you go, that's a better way to ask that question. Um,

253
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, ask him. I'm feeling great and uh

254
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm kind of on a five year plan.

255
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: You know, in five years from now, I'll figure out

256
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: and reassess. I actually owe that to David Brooks and

257
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: he taught me that while back and something he wrote,

258
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: why why are you looking year to year? Why don't

259
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: you just why don't you just playing out over five

260
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: year pairs each years? Five more years? So it was

261
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: five years last years, five years this year. I wants

262
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: figured out what happens when the time comes. So it's

263
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: not gonna be four years after this year. It just

264
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: keeps three repopulate. There you go. I have a rollover approach,

265
00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, thank you paint. Bill coaches with his sons

266
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: now Steve and Brian, and you've had a family business

267
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: of Seattle with your coaching staff. How how how that

268
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: experience has been for you? And how impressed are you

269
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: by what you've seen a step Belichick? Uh and the

270
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: work that he's done with the Patriots. Yeah, well the

271
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: last couple of years that you know, they've they've been

272
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: as effective defensively as you know, you almost could be, uh,

273
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: particularly you know, taking the football away from their opponents.

274
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: And and I don't know how they structure it, but

275
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, he's done awesome, you know, an awesome job. Um,

276
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: I would think. And uh, you know, there's something about

277
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: when you know, having your family, you know, like exactly

278
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: like you said that, there is a family business in

279
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: a certain extent, and there's you know, there's challenges to that,

280
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: there's also some great advantages to that. And and I

281
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: don't know how Bill sees it, but you know, the

282
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: loyalty that runs deep in your family, you know, is

283
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: a real asset I think, you know, and fortunate to have,

284
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, people that will tell us what we need

285
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: to hear, because a lot of a lot of guys

286
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: don't want to tell us and stuff, you know, and

287
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: so uh my guys don't matter, they don't care. They

288
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: don't tell you what I need to hear, whether I

289
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: want to hear it or not. And uh, it's it's

290
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: it's so refreshing because you know it, we can only

291
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: operate well based on the information that we get. And

292
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: so it's been a really good relationship for us has

293
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: been challenging though, but but I'm grateful for it. I'm

294
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: sure Bill is also appreciate it. Thank you. If Pete,

295
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm curious when you first heard the news that Jed

296
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: Fish was joining Bill's staff. What was your reaction, Jed,

297
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: Jed's a really good ball coach. He was really good

298
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: when he was young, and he's just better, had great

299
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: experiences wherever he's gone, don't you know, great systems and

300
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: all that. I'm sure he's been a great addition for

301
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: those guys. You know, we worked together for a short

302
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: time and he worked with my son Brennan down in

303
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: Miami and UH in college and I us a terrific coach.

304
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: All right, guys coaching. Yeah, before we go, I just

305
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,720
