1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Joined now by the head coach of the New England Patriots,

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: coach Bill Belichick, and coach before I just turned it

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: over to Floyd. I remember some of the good battles

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: that Floyd's Titans used to have against your Patriots. And

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: I know this team isn't like Floyd's Titans, but maybe

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: with John Robinson and Mike Rabele, it's kind of getting there.

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: What do you remember about the old battles versus Floyd's Titans. Oh, man,

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: they were tough. They were tough. We we we cheered

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: when we got a first down. Um, that defensive front

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: that that we played against, and but like two oh three,

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: oh four, Um, those days were were tough. And then

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: you know McNair and um it was a well balanced team,

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: but it was a team that, um, you really felt

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: going into the game. If you get fourteen or seventeen points,

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: you were you felt pretty good. You know, you'd that

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: not that you had a chance because they could score two,

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: but you know you felt like that was that was

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: good against that defense. Bill, we see that the passing

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: and the scoring in the league just skyrocketing. It seems

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: like week after week there's some kind of a new

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: record set. Is this in your mind? Is this the

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: permanent direction of the league? Is it? Is it maybe uh,

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, happenstance or just one of those up cycles.

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah's uh, I hope not. I hope. I mean, I

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: hope we can play better defense and you know, we'll

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: be able to be able to play competitively and not

27
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: give up a lot of points. So, um, you know,

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: we'll we'll see how it goes here again. Seasons about

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: half over, it looks like maybe maybe things are not

30
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: maybe not quite going at the same level they were

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: earlier in the year, but maybe not. We'll see. Yeah,

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: I hope not. I'd like to think that, um, you know,

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: the defensive league, we can we can compete against the

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: offensive in this league we're watching, We've we've got Derrick

35
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: Henry of course here. Uh and and he's kind of

36
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: a question mark in this offense right now. And I'm

37
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: not sure if it's adjusting to the offense, the coach

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: is adjusting to him. I'm not sure exactly where that's going.

39
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: But in your mind, is is there a decline maybe

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: in that thirty to thirty five Carrie, you know, Eddie, George,

41
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, big strong kind of back. Oh well, I mean,

42
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: I think that's a great question, Floyd. I think it

43
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: really probably depends on who it is. Certainly doesn't look

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: like it was Ezekiel Elliott. Um, you know they're or

45
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: girly or guys like that. So um, you know, probably

46
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: the right guy in the right system, or the right

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: guy with the right kind of I don't you know,

48
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: whatever it is. But I think that you know, if

49
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: any of us had Jim Brown, we get him the

50
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: ball thirty times maybe more and be happy with it.

51
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: But you know, trying to you know, have that that

52
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: type of player and and um, you know, have the

53
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: other things that go with it, the balance that you

54
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: need with it. To me, just can't you know, hand

55
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: at a good back up the middle all day. I mean,

56
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: you've got to have more than that, but it's hard to.

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's hard to if you want to spread the

58
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: ball around, which there's a lot to be set for that,

59
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: and having balanced then it, you know, means that you're

60
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: featuring a guy less. And that's to me, I don't

61
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: really worry about feature and players. You know, the idea

62
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: is to be productive and win and everybody contribute. Um,

63
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: sometimes some guys have a little more production than others.

64
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes that changes from week to week or year to year.

65
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: Um So, but I think that in the in the

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: Titans case, they have two really good backs. They're they're different,

67
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: but we all saw what Henry did last year, and

68
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: we've all seen what Dion done this year, and so

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: they're they're fortunate they have two very good players at

70
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: that position. A lot of teams that don't have any

71
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: you have I've read something today I think that said,

72
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: this is maybe the first time you've ever coached against

73
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: a former player, somebody that you know, you kind of

74
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: raised through the program, through the system, know you know

75
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: all aspects of of how he played, you know his personality,

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: what kind of guy is. When you look at this team,

77
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: is there anything that surprises you as to what they

78
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: can or can't do well? I think with Mike Um,

79
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, like like any head coach, Um, even if

80
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: you get the program kind of where you want it

81
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: the first year, in years two, three, and four going forward,

82
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: it's probably is gonna be a little more like what

83
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: you want it to be. But I think the team's

84
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: very much in Mike's um. It fits his personality and

85
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: playing style. They lead a league. In defense, they're there.

86
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: They don't give up many big plays. Their sound, they

87
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: play very good technique, they tackle well. They're one of

88
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: the top teams in the league. And yards after catch

89
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: they're at least penalized team in the league, which reflects

90
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: their discipline and um attention to detail. UM. You know,

91
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: they're very good in the kicking game. They've got an

92
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: explosive return game. They've got great specialists, they can punt

93
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: kick return, so they're they're strong in the kicking game.

94
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: And you know, that's kind of where Mike started at Pittsburgh,

95
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: and he played on all those teams for us, even

96
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: as a starting linebacker. He was on all the big

97
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: four units throughout the course of his career. So and

98
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: then offensively, UM, I think this is a you know,

99
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: an offense. It's kind of you know, has has elements

100
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: of the Rams Atlanta with the running game, the misdirection game,

101
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: the plays that Mariota can make, and the explosiveness that

102
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: they've got in the receiver position, and that you know,

103
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: seems to be getting UM maybe a little better and

104
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: and UM more efficient every week. And certainly the performance

105
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: they had against the Cowboys after a bye week, which

106
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: is another I think trademark of of Mike as a

107
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: coach is having that extra time to repair, that extra

108
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: week to um, you know, sort some things out and

109
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: get a few things adjusted during the season that sometimes

110
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: it's hard to do week to week because you're in

111
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: such a you know, the treadmill is movement so fastly

112
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: as you you go from one team to another. To

113
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: have a little bit of time to you know, retool

114
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: your third down offense or your pass rush or your

115
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: UM screens and plays like that. Uh, that was evident

116
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: and how well they were executed and how well they

117
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: played against the Cowboys, so um, you know, I think

118
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of things that when you look

119
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: at the Titans, um you see correlations the way Mike

120
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: played or his spy love play. Let's call it um

121
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: when he was you know, when he was here. Of course,

122
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: you know, Mike was a very productive offensive player for

123
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: us to cut touchdown passes as a tight ends. That

124
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: used to really annoy our tight ends. To put him

125
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: in there as a linebacker and he'd catch a touchdown

126
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: pass and those guys a beat, you know, run around

127
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: all year playing tight end and you know he'd have

128
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: as much has been a touchdowns as they did so

129
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: Coach Bill Belichick with the yard line, and of course

130
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: he reminded him of that too, that you know, they

131
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: had more touchdowns and some of the receivers did and

132
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: some of the other tight ends did. But yeah, but

133
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: so Mike was really a three way player for US,

134
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: and and a productive one, not just you know, standing

135
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: there taking up space, but he was, you know, a

136
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: very productive player on the punt team, on a kickoff

137
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: return team, as a short yardagean goal line tight end,

138
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: and and obviously defensively. Coach Belichick with US coach, if

139
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: a Nashville high school football player that listens to our

140
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: show or a high school football coach, where to ask

141
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: you you, Coach Belichick for the number one thing of advice,

142
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: what would you tell a high school football player or

143
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: a high school football coach us as it relates to

144
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: as it relates to what if some if if a

145
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: Nashville area kid were to come up to you and say,

146
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick, what's some advice that I can take going

147
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: forward as a high school football player. I think every

148
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: player to me has the same the same job really,

149
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: um is to number one, be in condition, number two

150
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: know what their assignment is and number three know how

151
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: to execute their assignment. So the technique that's that's being

152
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: taught UM to do the play. So that's really what

153
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: we try to do with every player and how we

154
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: try to evaluate each player. Um. You have to be

155
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: in condition, you have to know what to do, but

156
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: you also have to know how to do it. And

157
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: until any one of those three things, all three of

158
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: those things are in place, and then you really don't

159
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: have anything. You if you only have two of them right,

160
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: then until you get the third one right, you really

161
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: aren't going to have much. So once those three things

162
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: are in place, then you can start moving forward in

163
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: the evaluation process or the player can start to contribute

164
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: to his team. So that's that's where it starts for me. Bill.

165
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: One last question for you. We were both kind of

166
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: born and raised in special teams, and I know you

167
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: still love special teams. I always did. Is there any

168
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: part of the game or the rules, or maybe the

169
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: attitude that people have about special teams that concern you

170
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: about maybe the future of what that could look like

171
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: at some point in time. Well, sure, yeah, absolutely. I mean,

172
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: as you know, Floyd, going back to when we coached

173
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: together at the Lions and when you were here. When

174
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: you watch the special teams tape, there are a lot

175
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: of competitive plays. Um. Now, if they're thirty plays in

176
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: the kicking game, UM, you know, there could be eight

177
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: or nine of the ten kickoffs or touchbacks, so there's

178
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: not much going on there, and eight or nine of

179
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: the extra point plays or p R field goals are

180
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: not not really competitive. It's so hard for the defense

181
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: to block because they know they can't overload, they can't jump,

182
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: they can't hit the center, they can't you know, they

183
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: can't really do much anything other than hope the guy

184
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: the kicker hits a low kick. And these kickers are

185
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: getting better and better and they're kicking off great surfaces

186
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: and so forth. But you know, I remember when we

187
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: were at Detroit. I mean we'd block, you know, six

188
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: seven kicks a year, and it's at the block ten

189
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: kicks a year. You block them when you were up

190
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, I mean you were holding breath on every

191
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: extra point just to see whether you could, you know,

192
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: get it over the line or not. So you know,

193
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: now some of those plays look like the Pro Bowl

194
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: m and so I'd like to see those plays be

195
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: a little more competitive. And then you watch the punt

196
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: punt returns and there those plays are are fairly competitive.

197
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: I'd say not as good as it used to be

198
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: because the punters are so good at punting the ball

199
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: and Kern would be one of the best. Um. You know,

200
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: he kicked the ball fifty five sixty yards and he

201
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: lands the yard out of bound, so he kills the

202
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: return with you know, his great placement as well as

203
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: the distance that he gets on those kicks. So say,

204
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: it's getting harder and harder for those plays to impact

205
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: the game. It's been interesting that the I think the

206
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: kickoff rule has um maybe benefit of the return team

207
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, just because the backside can't squeeze down

208
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: quite as as well as they used to with the

209
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: running start. And it's like this seems like the fields

210
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: a little more coverage wise, it's a little more spread out,

211
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: that there's a little more space across the field without

212
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: that you know out that backside squeeze. It's not quite

213
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: as hard as it was, it's still present. So yeah,

214
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: i'd love to see those plays find a way to

215
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: make those plays competitive and and uh, you know where

216
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: it's really the extra points are. You know, I'd say

217
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: it's better now than to me what it was at least,

218
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: you know before when it was over ninety nine percent

219
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: on the extra points. I mean, it's about as automatic

220
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: as you could get now. That's that number is dropping

221
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I think that's a good thing.

222
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: And you know, there've been some good kickoff returns in

223
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: the league this year and some good feel position on

224
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: those plays, So maybe that'll become a little bit more

225
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: of a competitive play going forward, I hope so, Coach

226
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, Coach, we look forward to the game. We

Speaker 1: influence in my career. I learned learned a ton from

232
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: Floyd in Detroit about defense, special team, and he was

233
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: a big asset to us here with the Patriots. So um,
