1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: Are you doing, Bill, Glenn Christ's doing the best week? Can? 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: I guess right? That's the way, that's the way to 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: do it. So last week, Bill, we talked about uncharacteristic things, 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: things that Patriot teams don't do. This week, fourteen accepted penalties. 5 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: Apparently eight of those were pre snap. Does that bother you? 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: I mean I heard you talk about it after the 7 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: game and you say, Hey, the guys don't want to, 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: you know, commit penalties. I get that, but is there 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: a focus issue, especially with the pre snap penalties. Yeah, 10 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: you never want to commit any penalties. So we haven't 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: been a heavily penalized team, but we were yesterday, So 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: I gotta correct that that's not what we want. But 13 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: when something happens like that, when you're not accustomed to 14 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: doing it, do you look at it and say why? 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: And why does it suddenly happen out of nowhere? Um? Yeah, 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: and again there are different circumstances on each of those plays, 17 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: but the bottom line is we wait, we can't do that. 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: So I mean, do you do do do? I mean? 19 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: I guess when I watched after I watched the game 20 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: a second time, I looked at it and said, well, 21 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: I didn't feel as bad as I did when I 22 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: saw it live, because those issues should are fixable. It's 23 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: not like guys were getting wit. We're getting killed or 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: whiffing on blocks. Procedual penalties like stuff that you go 25 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: over day one. Does that make the situation feel a 26 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: little bit better knowing that you can correct it's just 27 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: with a little bit of effort. Oh, if we do it, Yeah, 28 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: we gotta do it. Do you think that there's anything 29 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: to penalties, like, you know, procedural penalties, Like one guy 30 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: hasn't and then another guy has them. It's almost like 31 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: it's contagious, like its just you can't stop it. No, well, 32 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: I know it's it's sometimes it's like, you know, it's 33 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: just like not your day. I don't know. Well, the 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: other kill A two bill was that they came I 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: don't know, if you could get a rhythm into your offense. 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: You seemed to move the football, you made some big plays, 37 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: and then suddenly they're taking the ball back ten yards. 38 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean it seemed to they all seemed to happen 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: at the absolute worst time. If there is a good time, yeah, 40 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: there's no good time for penalties. So um, yeah, we 41 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: we just got to work harder to eliminate them. So, Bill, 42 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: earlier in a week, you're talking about these two wide 43 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: receivers they had to Joe and Antonio elite guys. I 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: think you called them and they are and you guys 45 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: you know pretty much I think contained them. I think 46 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: your secondary played played great. But did that come with 47 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: a cost? Were you guys secondary wise? You know, did 48 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: you almost seed the run in a sense to where 49 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: you have so much you know, attention to those wide 50 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: receivers that's why they ran the ball so effectively. Well, look, 51 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: they're a good offense. They do they do a lot 52 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: of things well. They run it well, they throw it well. 53 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: They have great players obviously a great quarterback, good schemes. 54 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: So they gave you a lot of problems. So we 55 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: did what we thought was best. And I think the 56 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: players compete at hard. They made some plays, we made something, 57 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: they made a few moren't weeded. But I thought it 58 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: was competitive. Guy like Jaylen samuelve is that a guy 59 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: that I mean, he's not that much film on him. 60 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: Running style? Is that coming to play at all? Or 61 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: is it just running the football period? Trying to stop that? Yeah? 62 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: Oh god, that's that's everything that they do, so you know, 63 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: they you can stop one thing and be light on 64 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: something else. So you know everybody that look, it's there's 65 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: no one guy you gotta stop in that offense. You 66 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: gotta stop everybody. Very good offensive line. So, um, we 67 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: just have to coach it and play it better. I 68 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: thought jac Jackson had a really good game for you guys. Um. 69 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: You know, they seems like they tested him early, had 70 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: that huge play in the fourth quarter. Um, you just 71 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: talk maybe just his growth so far since he's been here. Yeah, 72 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: jac works hard, He's been out there every day. UM, 73 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: tough kid, and Scip's getting better. So like any rookie 74 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: heat he makes mistakes. Um, but he rexcellent. Um usually 75 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't make make the same one repetitively, so that's 76 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: a good thing. Could you kind of run down the 77 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: last few plays because listening to Brady this morning, it 78 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: sounded like he was intent on getting the ball into 79 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: the end zone and that probably was what you guys 80 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: were sending in there as opposed to moving it, maybe 81 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: getting somebody to go out of bounce, maybe James White 82 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: on one play and getting an opportunity to get closer 83 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: to the end zone. What was what were you guys 84 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: doing and the clock was tight, obviously he had very 85 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: little time. Yeah, well, I don't think they were the 86 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: way they were configured out, I don't think it would 87 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: have been really easy to get the ball out of bounds. So, 88 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: you know, we ran plays where we had multiple options 89 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: on the play and tried to try to take the 90 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: best play, best option, and possibly if we'd hit one 91 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: of those, you know, down to the five yard line 92 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: or something like that, we could have got down there 93 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: and clocked it early in the drive and had time 94 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: for one more play you know, after you know, after 95 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: a couple of completions, then that's really not an option 96 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: for you anymore. So then you've got to get out 97 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: of bounds or throw at the end zone. Um, one 98 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: of the better, I guess, uh special teams plays I've 99 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: seen in a long period of time with Jonathan Jones 100 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: then to Rex Burke head Slater avoids it and then 101 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: Joe actually ends up downing the ball. I mean, that 102 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: was that was about as good as you can draw 103 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: it up. Yeah, that was a great effort by those 104 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: guys and a really good awareness of the goal line 105 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: and a good good skill to kind of tap the 106 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: ball back in the field of play without stepping in 107 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: the end zone and so forth. So that was a 108 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: good play. What did you see as far as Pittsburgh 109 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: what they did with Rob Gronkowski so ran free looked 110 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: like down in Miami, But spacing wasn't there, the targets 111 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: weren't there? Just a different performance from him that they 112 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: do something differently or something that you saw. I think Pittsburgh, 113 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: I mean they kind of do what they do. Um, 114 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: they mix it up. They they doubled them and in 115 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: some situations, Um, they're certainly certainly aware of them. Um, 116 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: but they mixed it, you know, they mixed it up. 117 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: Did they do the same things? I know Josh Gordon 118 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: was another guy that maybe wasn't as involved as we've 119 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: seen him in the past. Was it paid a little 120 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: bit of attention to him. We saw in that touchdown 121 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: they had three guys covered him on Hogan's touchdown, but 122 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: maybe paying more attentions. I mean, again, each play as 123 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: its own his own play. So there were times when 124 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: they double covered one of those players. There are times 125 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: that they double covered both of them. There are plenty 126 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: of times and they're in zone or when they're in 127 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: single coverage just depend on what play we have now 128 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: called and how it played out. I know you always 129 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: talk about every year is different, and what people are 130 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: doing today, including your buddy Michael Lombardi, is they're dipping 131 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: back to that football life where they had you miked 132 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: up in the sidelines in New Orleans. That team couldn't 133 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: win on the road. I think they were two and 134 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: six on the road, and you were quoted as as saying, 135 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: I can't get these guys to do what they want, 136 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: and a lot of people, including Lombardi, is saying that's 137 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: what Bill's problem is right now. He can't get these 138 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: guys to do what they what they wanted to do. 139 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: Is this different, Bill, or is this similar to two 140 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,559 Speaker 1: thousand and nine. Oh yeah, well it's a lot different 141 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: from two thousand and nine. But you know, like we'll 142 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: see what happens. There's still a lot of football left 143 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: this year, and um, you know, I know where guys 144 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: are very dedicated on work hard. Nobody feels good today, 145 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: nor should we, and we'll see what we can do. 146 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: Due this week. During the telecast, Tony Rummo made h 147 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: you know, mentioned that the one of the ways to 148 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: get Gronk involved in the offense is through play action, 149 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: especially obviously off the run because defense is doing such 150 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: a good job covering him, doubling him. Do you feel 151 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: like that's accurate as far as like, you know, that's 152 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: the way you're morphing into getting him the ball, is 153 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: really establishing the run first in order to run some 154 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: play action those linebackers committing and getting them freed up. Yeah. Well, 155 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: of course the play actions go with a running game, 156 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: So those those type of plays compliment each other. Again, 157 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: we don't necessarily call pass plays unless the screenplay to 158 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: throw the ball in one particular player, So depends on 159 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: how they react to a play and who's going where 160 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: and what the options are for the quarterback. Tom makes 161 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: great decisions on where to go with the ball. So 162 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean, the running game certainly is complimented 163 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: by the play action passing game and vice versa. Oh, 164 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: I just wanted to Tom Brady, you know you mentioned 165 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: him in the last couple of weeks. Kind of uncharacteristic 166 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,599 Speaker 1: things into the first half of Miami the touchdown, the 167 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: end zone, the interception rather than the red zone. We 168 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: were talking before, like, is there a fine line between 169 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: because the fact that He's there every single week. Is 170 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: one of the great things of Tom Brady. But is 171 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: there a fine line of maybe avoiding contact, you know, 172 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: and still and still kind of finishing plays or not 173 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: giving up on plays. I'm not following her me rather 174 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: than take sacks or take hits. It just it seems 175 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: like he's been off balance and making throws like that 176 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: last play He's almost to the ground and didn't seem 177 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: like anybody was about to hit him. It just seems 178 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: like he's being overly cautious in that pocket. I mean, look, 179 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's made better decisions than than Tom 180 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: Brady has in the last nineteen years or eighteen years 181 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: or whatever it's been. So he sees the field well. 182 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: He does a great job with our offense and is 183 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: a great decision maker on a game like yesterday, all 184 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: of us that participated in the game, players, coaches, Um, 185 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: there's a handful of plays we'd all like to have back. Um. 186 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: I have him, I'm sure Tom has him. I'm sure 187 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: every other player that that participated feels the same way. 188 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: So that's that's what happens in a game like that. 189 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: There's always one or two that you wish you could 190 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: have done a little bit differently, And I guess I 191 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: feel that way and everybody else does too. So you 192 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: just talked about guys not feeling good here today. The 193 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: good news is you got another game. You get to 194 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: play nixt Sunday. By the way, another pretty good defensive team. 195 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: So do you have to spend more time on this 196 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: bill or can you convince players to do what you 197 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: always seem to do, and that's we're on to Buffalo. Oh, 198 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: we'll be on to Buffalo. Yeah, we'll be on them 199 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: probably within an hour or so, since we finish up 200 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: with Pittsburgh. Yep. But you don't have you don't have 201 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: trouble trying to get guys to forget something like that 202 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: because you want them to forget it, I would think, right, 203 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: or don't you well? I mean, I think we all 204 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: want to learn from our mistakes. And you know, there'll 205 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: be things that will come up in this game that 206 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: came up last week. There always are. There'll be plenty 207 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: of things that are new because there's a different team 208 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: and different players and so forth, but there'll be some 209 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: carryover in certain areas, whether there be a play, a scheme, 210 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: or a technique or a situation. So we always want 211 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: to try to learn from That's why we watched the film, 212 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: so we can learn from things that happen, and if 213 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: they happen again and they could be copycatted by the 214 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: next opponent, they could do something that they had seen before, 215 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: did it because it worked. If you don't correct it 216 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: would probably work again. So that's why it's important to 217 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: do the corrections and make sure everybody understands the situations 218 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: and so forth. But once that's over, then you move 219 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: on to the your new opponent and start getting ready 220 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: for them. See, I think I would I think I 221 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: would take the glasses half full approach based on well, 222 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: just you know, the first the Miami game was really 223 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: just almost like a once in a lifetime type of thing. 224 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: But after watching this film, I just I guess I 225 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: would be optimistic knowing that we're better than that, we're 226 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: better than what we put that product that we put 227 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: out in the field, and we still have a lot 228 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: of opportunities to show it all. Right, there's still so 229 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: many things like last week you mentioned how like nobody 230 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: died and you still have all your goals in front 231 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: of you. So I guess is it the optimistic of 232 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: the feeling sorry for themselves or is it still you know, 233 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: onward and you know, let's reach our goals. Yeah, absolutely, 234 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: that's what it is. Does nothing to feel sorry about. 235 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: And we are where we are because of what we 236 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: did or didn't do, and our opportunity. This week it's 237 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: against Buffalo and that's all week in control, and that's 238 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: what we're going to start to work on. We would 239 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: just saying talking about it, I said, you can look 240 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: at any TV nationally. You know they're always questioning the Pats. 241 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: You know, you guys right now because it was so 242 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: accustomed to I think twelve and four thirteen and three 243 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: back to back losses in December, I think the first 244 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: time since Christian played I think two thousand and two. 245 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: So it does seem odd I think for most people 246 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: outside looking at this team at nine and five right now, 247 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: two losses in December, does it feel different for you? 248 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: It's been so long since you've lost two in December 249 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: this time of year. Yeah. Right now, I'm really just 250 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: thinking about Buffalo and do the best I can to 251 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: get our team ready to go on Sunday against them. 252 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: What happened last week or two weeks ago or in 253 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: two thousand and two. I don't think really would happen 254 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: in two thousand and two as much bearing on this 255 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: week's again, I'll due respect, you know, did Josh Allen 256 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: speaking of Buffalo, UM didn't see him in the first game, 257 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: did you, guys, you know, take a look him at 258 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: all during the drafting process to get some information on him. 259 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: He's running a lot. I don't know if he's a 260 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: I guess you're part of typical running quarterback. But the 261 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: yards are there. Um, what do you see in him 262 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: so far with the tape you've looked at? Well, we 263 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: saw him. We knew he was declared out of our game, 264 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: but we saw him in other games as we prepared 265 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: for Buffalo and the rest of the team. So, um, yeah, 266 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: I'm very athletic guy. I can make all the throws 267 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: as an excellent arm and very mobile in the pocket. 268 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: And they're they're different than they were eight weeks ago 269 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: or whenever it was six weeks ago, whenever we played him. Um, 270 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: different receivers and he's you know, he's done a great 271 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: job of coming in and kind of changing the type 272 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: of offense that they you know, ran when we saw um, 273 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: you know, when they're in the quarterback you know period 274 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: that we saw prior to our game and in our 275 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: game now it's let's say much um, more scrambles, more 276 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: loose plays, UM, more deep balls, UM and still a 277 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: good solid running game. So they've been very explosive offensively, 278 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure out of quarterback to it, 279 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: don't they. Well, they're a good defense. Um. They run 280 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: the Carolina system as we know, and uh coach McDermott 281 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: does a great job with that and he always has 282 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: and we've you know, we always have trouble at Buffalo 283 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: because they're so well schooled. Um, they're very fundamentally sound. 284 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: They make you earn everything, and they mix it up 285 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: on it with a lot of different types of coverages 286 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: man z own combination, man and z own, split safety, 287 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: post safety, um pressure pressure from the corner or the 288 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: secondary pressure from the linebackers. So they give you a 289 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: lot of different looks and but do it well and 290 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: they compliments each other. So you know, we'll have to 291 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: everybody have to be on their toes this week, all right. 292 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: So we're gonna wrap things up with our play slash 293 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: drive of the week. Coach, what do you think was 294 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: the best play or drive of the of this game. 295 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: It can be a special teams play. Yeah, that was 296 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: a good play. That was a good play. The you know, 297 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: John made a great made a great play to you know, 298 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: get up off the ground and and have the presence 299 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: to obviously jump in the field to play to keep 300 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: the ball lock and get all the way back. And 301 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: you know Rex did the same thing. He was able 302 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: to to leave his feet in the field to play, 303 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: but but get get the ball back to where it 304 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: could be down. So um, yeah, that was that was 305 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: an excellent play. Okay, all right, So that was our 306 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: drive of the week. That was brought to you by 307 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: the Boston area Mercedes Benz Dealers. Our conversation with the 308 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: coach brought to you by Putnam Investments Puttnham Investments in 309 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots proud partners committed to an active 310 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: game plan on and off the field. All Right, Bill, 311 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: good luck next week against Buffalo. All right, sounds good. 312 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: Thanks you next week.
