1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Key moments in games where you haven't been able to

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: make a stop. UM. From a coaching perspective, how do

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: you improve that? Yeah? I mean the most important stats

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: is wins, and so I don't I couldn't tell you

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: where we rank or any of that stuff. I would

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: just say that we haven't done enough on defense to

7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: help the team win win like we need to, and

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: that's our goal. UM stats are cool, but one step

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: that's the best is winning, and that's what we're trying

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: to do as a coaching staff and and the players. UM.

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: There was some interesting rotations with the linebackers last week

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: against the Saints. Do you like to rotate players to

13
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: keep them fresh? I mean, we didn't see Dante high

14
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: Tower for stretches, Kyle van Noy and so on. I'm

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: what's your philosophy on that? Do what we need to

16
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: do to win? Great? Thanks? Thanks, We'll go to h

17
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: Ryan followed by Evan. Go ahead, Ryan, I'm so weird. Sorry,

18
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: I just want to get your thoughts on facing the

19
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: Bucks offense and what are they What are the things

20
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: that they do that they get tough for a defense

21
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: they go up against. UM, they don't do anything easy

22
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: on the defense. Everything they do is tough. You have

23
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: a good old line, they got good backs, they got

24
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: good receivers, and then they got the best quarterback, so

25
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: they got they got some dangerous weapons over there, and

26
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: and a smart quarterback who knows knows what to do

27
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: to attack the defense based on what they're in. So

28
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: it'll be, uh, it'll be another big challenge, just like

29
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: it's been the past three weeks. But they're their own group.

30
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: They do a lot of things well. They got a

31
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: lot of good players and and Tom running the show

32
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: is it's always deadly with him coming back. Do you

33
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: have any thoughts on him, just what he's meant to you?

34
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, knowing watching him play, I probably

35
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: from a kid to now coaching in the league. Yeah, Um,

36
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, I remember back in two thousand when he

37
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: got here. That was our first year, my first year

38
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: in in Boston. Obviously not as a coach, but um,

39
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, being around the team and seeing seeing where

40
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: he started to where he got to. Um, you know,

41
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: he's a he's an incredible person, and he's an incredible player,

42
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: And I learned a lot from him on and off

43
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: the field. M that I I really can't thank him

44
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: enough for I mean, I spent a lot of time

45
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: with him, you know, in the building, outside the building,

46
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: on the plane on the way home from games. Um,

47
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: he's just uh, he was such a good resource for me. Um,

48
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, running the scout team against him, and just

49
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: all all the things that Tom does well, which is

50
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: everything you know, he was. I'm very blessed to have

51
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: been around him for as long as I was, and UM,

52
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: couldn't be happier for him and his family and and

53
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: all that he's accomplished. It's uh, it's pretty special what

54
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: he's done, and I'm happy that I got to experience

55
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: some of the first hand. Thanks Steve. All right, Um,

56
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: we can go to Evan Evan next, then then we'll

57
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: go to Matt. Go ahead him. Hey, Steve, how you doing.

58
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm good. Are you doing. I'm doing well. I just

59
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about the Bucks offense as well,

60
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: and just from a vertical passing standpoint kind of what

61
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: stands out to you as some of the things that

62
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: really stress the defense that they do with the deep passes. Yeah, well,

63
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: like I said before, they got a good old line

64
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: they can protect the quarterback, so the receivers have time

65
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: to get down the field. They got fast receivers who

66
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: can get down the field quickly. They got big receivers,

67
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: They got a lot of receivers. They got a good

68
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: back who they can get out in space, and then

69
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: they got a quarterback who knows where to go with

70
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: the ball and who's smart. So, I mean it's the

71
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: way that they're built is is good for them to

72
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: do everything. They got good inside players, good outside players,

73
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: and a good old line to to protect the passer.

74
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, everything they do is is a challenge to stop.

75
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: I also just wanted to ask you about Kyle Dugger

76
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: as well in year two here, and like he's starting

77
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: to really play all around your defense, and I'm just

78
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: curious what you've seen his mental growth. I guess to

79
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: get him into that position where he can play at

80
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: all three levels or whatever it is that you see

81
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: out of him. Yeah, I mean, all the credit goes

82
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: to Kyle, all the hard work he's put in. Said,

83
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: this's a bunch that no, no rookie was put in

84
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: an ideal spot last year. I mean it was it

85
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: was what it was. Everybody was dealing with it in

86
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: their own in their own way, regardless of of their

87
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: job or their occupation. And these rookies, they had these

88
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: virtual meetings last spring and they came in for training camp,

89
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of working through the process and

90
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: what you can and can't do. And then you know,

91
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: thrown right into the fire last year and then being

92
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: able to you know, have somewhat of a normal lost

93
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: season this year. And credit goes to Kyle for all

94
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: the all the work he's put in on and off

95
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 1: the field, mental reps um, working working with Brian and Mike,

96
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: and and working with Dev and Ap and the older guys,

97
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: and you know, learning from everybody and and picking his

98
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: picking guy's brains and and what he can do, and

99
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: and also learning his own skill set and where he

100
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: stands and what his strengths are. And I wish he

101
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: has a lot of them, but how to how to

102
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: use him. And he's a he's a special player, and

103
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's on our team. Thanks, Steve. Thanks, I'll

104
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: take one final question from Matt. Go ahead, Matt, Steve

105
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: given um, given all the things that you said about

106
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: about Tom Brady when your own season was over last year,

107
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: You're you're watching the Super Bowl. Were you rooting for

108
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: for Tom, and that's in that situations, the guy that

109
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: you have those feelings for you or is it something

110
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: when you're when you're in coaching, you're just watching the

111
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: football and there's not a there's not a specific team

112
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: that you're you're you care one way or the other. Naum, yeah,

113
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm always playing for Tom. Uh. I got a lot

114
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: of a lot of history with him. Um. You know,

115
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a fan of the game too, and

116
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: in addition to being a fan, I like, I like

117
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: rooting for for relationships, um and and people I know,

118
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: and Thomas is as high on that list as anybody.

119
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: So you know, I was very happy for him. It

120
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: was well deserved and um yeah, I mean I never

121
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: root against Tom. Thank you, Okay, thank you, thank you.

122
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: Human
