1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Hey, Bill, how are you great? Good? How's it going?

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: It's going great? How is the rest of your weekend?

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: You get any any turkey in any Thanksgiving celebrating over

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: the weekend? And not really this year. It's a little

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: bit of different year here. So now we're it's moving

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: on here to Buffalo. Um, Mac had what may have

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: been his best game on Thursday and night. For you

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: what stood out when you watched film? Well, name there was.

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's a very competitive game. We um, you know,

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: it did enough things to be competitive, but not not

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: enough to you know, to win. So disappointing the end

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: uh end result, But no, turn the page here and

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: then move on to Buffalo. Bill Matthews later called the

14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: ninety seven yard return unacceptable. Um, after the game, how't

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: is it for you as a head coach to have

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: leaders like that in the locker room that guys look

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: up to and can listen to when they to make

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: sure that doesn't happen again? Yeah? Well, I mean that

19
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: that gives us great leadership. So I can't imagine having

20
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: a better leader on our team than than that player. Bill.

21
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: With three games twelve days, it's it's been well established.

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: How does the next four days differ. Is there any

23
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: load management in the building or is it status quo?

24
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: We do the same thing. Well, this week is is

25
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a normal week for us, if

26
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: you will. It's a seven day week, Sunday to Sunday.

27
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: It's just Thursday Thursday, but coming off a short week,

28
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: so we're mindful of that and a lot of its

29
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: case by case. Not every players an exactly the same situation,

30
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: which they never are, so you know, in the end,

31
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: we try to do what's what's best for the team.

32
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: And then there are some players that are in UM

33
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: different it's called states of readiness than others, and we

34
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: worked through those on the individual basis. So that's it. Really,

35
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: that's about the way it normally is. It's the short

36
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: week is puts more stress on everybody for sure, but

37
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: in the end, it's it's a seven day week. We've

38
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: got short weeks before and and uh, you know, once

39
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: once you get into the week and you you know,

40
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: you manage it um as much as as much as

41
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: normal as it can be. Well, I know, I know

42
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: you didn't say much after the game about the Hunter

43
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Henry catch being overturned, but the just to be clear

44
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: the Is it your understanding that the concept of the

45
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: ball surviving the ground was supposed to be gone as

46
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: of twenty and eighteen? Is that is that the way

47
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: you understand that? I mean, there's you know, the dudes

48
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: are plays that you know, we look at plays in

49
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: the off season. Fishers might bring in twenty plays and

50
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, you know these ten are catches, these

51
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: ten aren't. And I think we all kind of sit

52
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,559
Speaker 1: in the room and I don't think there's a consensus

53
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: on oh yeah, I see that or you know, they're

54
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: they're close plays and they're it's hard to so it's

55
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: hard to reach a consensus on a a lot of plays. Um.

56
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what what what the rule is and

57
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: what you actually see on the video that they show. Um,

58
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: sometimes it's not clear to everybody what exactly it is

59
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: we're seeing. You know, so did this happen? Did you

60
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: know it was this spot down? Did he have possession that?

61
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: You know? You know it's there's there was a lot

62
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: close plays, So we're looking ahead, we're moving on. It's

63
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: not what we can do about that. Those calls are

64
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: out of our control. So whatever they are, we just

65
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: have to he wasn't move on, Bill, I thought just

66
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: quickly on that. I thought the rule was irrefutable visual

67
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: evidence required to overturn. Did you feel that there was

68
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: irrefutable visual evidence on the video replays to overturn the call? Yeah,

69
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: again they answered all those questions. Is that you know,

70
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: the pool reporter went in talks to the officials after

71
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: the game, and it doesn't matter what you think or

72
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: what I think, And what all I think matters is

73
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: what they they think and what they saw. So what

74
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: they saw, that's what we all have to live with. Well,

75
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: I think I think you got robbed, and I'm angry

76
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: about it. Bill, That's all I want to say this morning, Courtney.

77
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: Go ahead, when you look towards the Bills, obviously a

78
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: very talented team. What's the biggest advantage for you guys,

79
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: and now that they it looks like they won't have

80
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: Von Miller, Well, they're well balanced team. We're gonna have

81
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: to play well in all three phases of the game.

82
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: And you know, the take a total team effort. We

83
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: know that. Um so, no no one one player or

84
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: one thing or one part of it that's gonna everything's important.

85
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: So we all have to do a good job. They

86
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: have to do a good job of coaching, preparing, making

87
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: decisions during the game, UM, playing fundamentals, handling their scheme, plays,

88
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: so forth. So that's a good good team defense to

89
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: stop their offense. And you know, a good team offense

90
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: to the move ball against the defense. It's not not

91
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: just gonna be any one thing. And obviously with Hines there,

92
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: you know they have a add something to the return game.

93
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: And they're statistically one of the best coverage teams. Well,

94
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: they are the best discoverage team UM Onpons or you know,

95
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: a lot of discoverage teams and totally in the NFL,

96
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: and so you know they're they're well balanced team. Bill

97
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: do you do you watch other games on Sunday when

98
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: you play on Thursday night? And how often through a

99
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: season do any of your coaches come to you on

100
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: a Monday morning after watching other games and say, hey,

101
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: I think we can mix this into our playbook. Does

102
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: that happen mid season? Is that all done off season? Oh? Well, no,

103
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that come up there in

104
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: the season. I don't know how much really comes from

105
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, seeing games on TV. I mean it might

106
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: come from that. We we have every game on video,

107
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: so we can I could pull up any game in

108
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: the league, UM, from yesterday, this morning and look at it,

109
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: and we can break those plays down into different categories. UM,

110
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: and we do and look at you know, all the whatever,

111
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: all the touchdowns, all the interceptions, all the long returns,

112
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: all the explosive plays, all the sacks, I mean whatever.

113
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: You know, you can look at a lot of different ways. So, yeah,

114
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 1: there are stuff that comes from other things that happen

115
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: in football, show Bill. There are reports out right now

116
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: that Bill O'Brien is considering NFL options. What does he

117
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: bring to the league and would you ever consider a

118
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: reunion with him? Yeah. I haven't talked to Bill him

119
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: a little while, so I don't really want to comment

120
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: on his situation. I think that's something for him to

121
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: comment on. Bill. The last two meetings with the Bills

122
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: did not go your way to full games without forcing

123
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: a punt. How personally do you take the inability of

124
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: this defense to stop Josh Allen And is that part

125
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: of the motivation as you prepare for Thursday night to

126
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: host those Bills. Yeah, well, again, it's a big challenge

127
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: planned Afflo we go. You know, they need everybody to

128
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: play well. Um, I mean we had them in tons

129
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: formation on the first series of the game and in

130
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: the second game and gave up fake punt. So that's

131
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really put that on the defense,

132
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: But regardless, they moved the ball consistently against us. We

133
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: certain they didn't make them punch in the playoff games.

134
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's we know. It's a big challenge and

135
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to play better than then we played

136
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: against the last two weeks in every area of the game.

137
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: All right, Bill, Well, we will let you go get

138
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: ready for that challenge, and we will look forward to

139
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: talking to you again next Monday. Okay, great sounds good.

140
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: Have a good week, all right, Bill Belichick on a

141
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: page
