1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: First ANC championship game in Kansas City in like forty 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: nine years or something. Is there a lot of buzz 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: and excitement with the team in the city right now? 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: I think there is. Yeah. I mean, you know, I'm 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: not out there, so I can't tell you that. But 6 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: I presume you know from what I've heard and um, 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: but the players and the coaches end up, in particular 8 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: the coaches, we end up being in here for most 9 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: of the time. Indy, I'm assuming your team's not the 10 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: same as it was in Week six. And if that 11 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: premise is true, how so is it different? Yeah, I listen, 12 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not sure any team going right now 13 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: it is quite the same as what they were that 14 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: it changes so much in this league week the week 15 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: and um, but uh, I don't know. I couldn't even 16 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: tell you. You know, maybe the younger guys were older 17 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: and more experienced. How that that might be probably the 18 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: biggest thing. One of the guys that played a little 19 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: bit the last couple of weeks who hadn't played defense 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: probably a couple of months, is Jordan Lucas. But what 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: have you seen from him this season? And uh? And 22 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: what led you to insert him into the increases snap 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: play in the last couple of games. Yeah, I mean, 24 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: Jordan brings a good energy and and you know, he's 25 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: a good football player, so uh, and we thought he 26 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: would be a nice edition in there, and and he 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: worked hard for it and showed us a couple of 28 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: nice things that he was doing, and so let's put 29 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: him in there. And he'd been at so many championship 30 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: games in your career only won Super Bowl? How badly 31 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: do you personally want to get to the Super Bowl 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: and finally win one. Yeah, you know, I'm it's not 33 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: about me, that's uh. First of all, we're doing this 34 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: as a team and every team's different, and I get 35 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: kind of caught up in that part. Um, you know. 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you end up loving the guy who you're coaching. 37 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: And there's a unique group, so I'm always pulling for them, 38 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: and whatever happens happened with me. I mean I'm good 39 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: with that. Um. So I love doing what I'm doing. 40 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,839 Speaker 1: You you've added some players that you know coming back 41 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: from health wise defensively, you know, Houston for one, and 42 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: then in certain Lucas in the lineup. How are those guys? 43 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: What have they brought to Uh? The team with the 44 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: kind of what's the defense at right now with some 45 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: new faces in there. Yeah, you know they listen, they've 46 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: had good energy the last couple of weeks and three 47 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: two three weeks here and and uh uh and you're right, 48 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: and these are new guys or guys coming back off injury. Um, 49 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: they know they have a great challenge this week. Um, 50 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: and we're just in the beginning process of trying to 51 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: get ready and so um, but listen, the last couple 52 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: of weeks, they've brought good energy and and it's you know, 53 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: that's kind of what it is. But we're so we're 54 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: so in the moment of getting ready to play the Patriots. 55 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not thinking too much about all that stuff. 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: What do you think of the Patriots beating the Chargers 57 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: on Sunday? They did a great job. I thought, you know, 58 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: that was the heck of a football game. Yeah, they 59 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: had a great plan. Um, well, you wouldn't expect anything 60 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: less and uh they came out and the execute it. Andy, 61 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: how's Eric eric Berry look for this week? Yeah, so 62 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: we're just starting up today. He's gonna he'll go today. 63 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: We just um kind of he's him. He's a man 64 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: see how he does. It's literally day to day, so 65 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 1: see how he feels. Andy. The last time he faced 66 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: the Patriots are sold starting to work Josh Gordon into 67 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: their office. Now now he's gone. How is this Patriots 68 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: offense looking compared to the one he faced in Week six? 69 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. They looked pretty good on Sunday. I 70 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: thought they were playing around and a lot of plays. 71 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: Tom looked great. Yeah, I mean they all they all 72 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: played well so um and Porter was just kind of 73 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: getting going when we played him. Um, although we had 74 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: a couple of nice he was just kind of getting 75 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: getting used to it, I think. And he's got the 76 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: same He's got his guys there and he's working on 77 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: Tom Andy. As you've coached against Bill over the years, 78 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: how much would you um ascribe his ability to game 79 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: plan specifically for each opponent and how much that's played 80 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: into his success over the years. Yeah, I mean he's 81 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: the best at it, right. He's won more games and 82 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: been a more championships. Uh at this at the championship level, 83 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: it's been anybody. So I would tell you that he's 84 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: a phenomenal and h and you know you're gonna get 85 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: You're gonna get a great challenge, Andy and Rewatching the 86 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: last few Patriots games, did you see a noticeable difference 87 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: between Tom against the Chargers and the way that he 88 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: was playing maybe a few weeks ago against the Bills 89 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: and the Steelers and the Dolphins. Yeah, I mean it, 90 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: every game is game to running. The gay guy again 91 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: arguably is the best ever to play the game. And 92 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: so he's um at that position. And uh and is 93 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: he is there gonna be a game where maybe it 94 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: didn't all work right for him? Yeah, there's a game here. 95 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: Everyone might do that, but for the most part, his 96 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: overall body of work is the phenomenal. And he played 97 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: great the other day. So how have you guys moved 98 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: on from Kareem Hunt and how his replacement's done. Yeah, 99 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: we started doing a kind of by committee and then 100 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: Damien h worked in there, Damian Williams, and so I 101 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: think he's done a nice job. We still spot other 102 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: guys in there. They all play um, but I think 103 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: he's really stepped up and those are big shoes to 104 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: Phil and I think he's done a nice job with him. 105 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: Your quarterback every week makes some crazy throw against his 106 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: body or no look past. Does he ever amaze you 107 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: with some of the frozen he makes. Um. Yeah, I 108 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: mean listen, I'm coming from far from Michael Vick and 109 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: I was going to Donod mcnap. So, I mean those 110 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: guys they would do some crazy things too. But he 111 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: does do a nice job with all that. I mean, 112 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: he's a special kid too. I appreciate the person as 113 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: much as all that stuff. I mean, he's the way 114 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: he goes about his job for being such a young guy. 115 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: He just mean he works at it and I love that, 116 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: you know, as a coach, I love that part. So 117 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: I appreciate the way he goes about his business. Are 118 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: you a fan of the no look pass? Yeah? I 119 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: mean if you're making sure you throw up the right guy, 120 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. Yeah, Yeah, that's all right. Andy. 121 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: What have you seen from the Patriots Front seven and 122 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: how they've used some creative alignments to generate pressure. Yeah, 123 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: they're bringing everybody, They move guys around, and they can 124 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: all do everything, and they all do it hard, and 125 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: so you got to come up with a plan to, 126 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, try to their body on potty. I mean, 127 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: they're they're moving people who people around and they investment 128 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: pottle Bit that way, and you saw it. You saw 129 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: it Sunday where the they heck of a job is 130 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: the willingness to bring extra people as that a little 131 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: difference than than some belicheck defenses you face in the past. Yeah, 132 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: well they've mixed it up their defensive coordinator. I mean, 133 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: this is a good football coach, so and and then 134 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: builds a good great football coach, so that you're you're 135 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: dealing with some pretty intense defensive minds there. They're they're 136 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: good and sharp and so using their personnel the best 137 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: of their abilities and rolling and he going back to 138 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: Mahomes for a minute, I mean he makes those kind 139 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: of cross field passes, which which most coaches don't recommend, 140 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: and how is your kind of how is your theory 141 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: or kind of thinking on that. He's bold and in 142 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: regards to kind of giving the freedom to do those 143 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: because it usually not hypercentage throws. Yeah, I want them 144 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: to play. I wanted to be himself. Everybody puts their 145 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: own personality on things, and so I have got a 146 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: film of them doing him being productive with it. I 147 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: mean he hasn't abused that that the abilities that he has, 148 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he he's accurate with it makes a good decisions. 149 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: So I've been okay though, Andy. J C. Jackson was 150 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: a healthy scratch in week six. What have you seen 151 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: from him since he's started kind of taking out his 152 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: starting role in the Patriots defense. Yeah, Um, they're they're 153 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: still good. They're still moving around and and uh, you know, 154 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: they've played very well and they're playing at a very 155 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: high lower right now. Decent. Andy, how impressed are you 156 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: with Chris Jones and his consistency in the past rush 157 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: and all around for that matter. Yeah, he's growing up. 158 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: I mean he uh right before us, and he's so 159 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: we got room to grow, right, He's a young kids, 160 00:08:52,960 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: so but he's um, he loves playing and he works 161 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: his game. So I appreciate that part. I appreciate. And 162 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: you guys have been really good in terms of percentage 163 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: on fourth down offensively. What is it in those situations 164 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: that allowed you guys to have some successes here? Uh? Yeah, 165 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: so I think our guys just asked me. The every 166 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,479 Speaker 1: game and situation is different. So it depends on matchups, 167 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: It depends on what you have left on the game 168 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: plan sheet, situation, field position, time on the call. Those 169 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: things you kind of calculate in there, and and then 170 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: you know obviously what the other team does schematically, so 171 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: we just uh every you know where you might have 172 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: done it last week, you might not do it this week. 173 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: I have that type of thing. So it's kind of 174 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: game the game situation. A situation is the extreme cold 175 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: that could be in the forecast. Is that changed the 176 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: way you guys preparing offense or anything. I think it's 177 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: getting warmer. Yeah, it literally is like if I had 178 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: a couple of degrees but I saw I'm not not 179 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: telling you the truth, but it's it's still probably gonna 180 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: be a little brisque, but now, well we do the 181 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: same stuff. I mean, it's what you do anything else, 182 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: see it dy Okay, thank thank you guys.
