1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Okay, Well it's been on you know, it's been a 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: while since we played, and I think you know, I 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: was talking to guys this morning and it's general TUMA team. 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: I feel like we're excited to play. I'm excited, um 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: to get back out there and you don't do what 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: we do, so, um, you know, Eagles are a tough 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: team to prepare for who spent you know, a lot 8 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: of time getting ready for them this week. Um, it's 9 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: definitely a challenge, but I think we're getting to the 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: point here where you know it's time to go out 11 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: there and I'll put it on the field. So I 12 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: have one good tune up. I'm more a good tune 13 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: up today hopefully, and you'll cover some situations get now 14 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,319 Speaker 1: bounced them a few loose ends, and I hope you're 15 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: ready to go on Sunday. So looking forward to the opportunity. No, 16 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: it'll be tough down there, but that's a sleep. That's 17 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 1: what the NFL is. They're all tough. Bree's your hand 18 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: on to the question, spen Bole kind of along the 19 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: same lines as stretch you've got coming up now, Billy 20 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: Dallas huge in casey, how important is this stretch of 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: games to you guys. Yeah, where's folks on one game? 22 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: That's it, Philly. I guess is this game to come 23 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,919 Speaker 1: off of the game. It's only game we can control, 24 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: so we'll do the best we can this week. We're 25 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: about next week? Next week? Was the fact that the 26 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: Ravens keep winning? And does that add any heightened urgency 27 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: to these games? We can't control what anybody else does, 28 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: so I's worried about our football team and how we do. 29 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: That's all we can do, right mckenn, m Alex grow 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: and Tom Trade. I guess we're talking. And Tom thrown 31 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: out throughout the idea of playing until he was forty seven. 32 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: I think it was sort of playful. I don't know 33 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: if the tone exactly, but in the context of history, 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: how wild would that be to think that a quarterback 35 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: could play to the forty seven, that that that would 36 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: even be possible? Yeah, I don't know again. Right now, 37 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: really just trying to focus on getting our team ready 38 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: to go against Eagles, and you know, trying to get 39 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: myself ready to do a good job down there. So 40 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: leave all that for another day. A creezy wanting to 41 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: ask you about their offensive coordinator Entitle Mike Groun family. 42 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: With that family, you obviously have a connection with, Um, 43 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on just that family contributions to football? 44 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: And I guess what you see from his coaching even 45 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: got obviously is a big pire of what they're doing 46 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: offensive all right, Yeah, I mean I've known, um, you 47 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 1: know Mike Sense, you know Alice with the Giants and 48 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: they're winning state championship in New Jersey and you know, 49 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: and then Matt played at Long Island or went we're 50 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: on Long Island and you know, stayed in contact with 51 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: Alan at Mike and you know through the years.

Um, 56 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: Alice taught me a lot and uh a lot of 57 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: great conversations with him about football and teaching and competition 58 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: and so forth. And uh, you know, Matt's not a 59 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: great job for us here in Scott and department. UM, 60 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: having really worked with Mike other than uh, you know, 61 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: ball boy and you know, stuff like that. But it's 62 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: assibly a very very accomplished athlete, you know, quarterback, and 63 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: you know it's a um, you know, a good coaching career. 64 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: You know, coach of Virginia's Coasting College in the NFL 65 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: had a writer responsibility. So it's good, good, strong family. 66 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: But Matt's done a great job for us. He's, um, 67 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, kind of worked his way up, you know, 68 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: left his law career behind and converted the football and 69 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: he's done an excellent job of scouting for us and 70 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: and helping build the depth of our football team national. Yeah, 71 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: he's moved Yeah, he's he's moved up and see's you know, 72 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: he's been in the Southeast, which is really a critical, 73 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: critical area in college scouting, and now he's expanded from 74 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: that to uh yeah, I don't really know exactly what 75 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: the title is throwing those terms around, but yeah, he's, 76 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: you know, one of our top scouts. Put that way. 77 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews resigned with Billy this week and seems like 78 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 1: he could play a significant role in this game. Would 79 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: you learn about him as a player in the brief 80 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: hand that he was here, Yeah, kind of the same 81 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: thing we saw Vanderbilt. You know, he's a smart kid. 82 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: He can play both inside and outside he's got good length, 83 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: good handsum and quickness, learns well as a as a 84 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: versatile player. I'm sure he can do a lot of 85 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: different things in their offense, which he has in the past. 86 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: So a really solid kid, hard work. The kinds are 87 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: kind of a unique situation right now, spoke and I 88 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: are and however limited Yeah, j J I egan for 89 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: a workout today. Is this is a situation where you 90 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: might have to prepare for a player who's not actually 91 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: even on the roster. Uh, yeah, possibly, and we'll see 92 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: what they do. Wouldn't be unprecedented, but it's not the 93 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: norm either, So yeah, we'll see how that goes. And 94 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: um as we find out more definitive information than a 95 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: just our preparations accordingly I Greece and this morning just 96 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: based on the game last night. A big talk of 97 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: the discussion just in social media, okay, was Brown's player 98 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett swinging his helmet at a Mason rout its 99 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: helmdo knowing that everyone's talking about players and do you 100 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: address that with them? And we've addressed that, We've addressed 101 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: that multiple times. This anything with this specific well, I mean, 102 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: every situation is different. There's no tooth are the same. 103 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: We can go back and look at you know, fifty 104 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: of these through the years some type of you know, 105 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: fighting or rejections or where they're all a little bit different. 106 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that it's like offside penalties there there. 107 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: There's a lot of different things happen, different situations, so 108 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: forth and so on. But yeah, fundamentally we you know, 109 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: t all players what we should do in those situations, 110 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: how we should have them and you don't think they've 111 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: done a good job. But so like it's pretty normal 112 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: for you to go on your snap face like the 113 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: first thing every morning pretty much like that's like, see 114 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: what happened, yeah, and check it out. Absolutely, interact with everybody, 115 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: see what they think. Get my opinions out there. So 116 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to get left behind on that. Yeah yeah, 117 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: then brush my teeth and yeah. Uh. The NFL confirmed 118 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: that that Patriots will be one of the teams that 119 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: attends m Colin Kaepernick's workout on Saturday. What do you 120 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: remember about his game? Yeah, don't. I don't really have 121 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: any comment on that. We're trying to get ready for 122 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: the Eagles. That's where they're one. That focus is nobody 123 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: can really imagine a Patriot's team being involved in a 124 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: melee like we saw last night, and there's something different 125 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: about the way you lead a team that would make 126 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: players to not go over that far on the field, 127 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: even in heat. At the moment, Yeah, I have no idea. 128 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: I'm not on any of the thirty one team, so 129 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: I couldn't comment what it's like or isn't like somewhere 130 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: else in terms of your effort to lead a team 131 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: and keep discipline, how would you say you keep that 132 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: in place? Yeah, I don't know. We have a lot 133 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: of good players about unselfish players, so I think that's 134 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: really the key to it. Just a fog to Henry. 135 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: Do you guys know who you're sending to the workout 136 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: on Saturday? Yeah, I'm like I said, Ben, I'm really 137 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: focused on the Eagle game. So we have a personnel 138 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: department and those are kind of things they do. We 139 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: get all intrigued to see what Cathericks looks like focused 140 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: on trying to beat the Eagles, Like that's that intrigues 141 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: me a lot right there. It is just trying to 142 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: get our team as well prepared as possible to get 143 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: down to play a good football team. That's playing very 144 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: well that you know. Obviously we didn't do very well 145 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: against the last time we played them in a competitive situation. 146 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: So that's really what I'm focused the most on, not 147 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: last night's game, last week's game. You know, something happened 148 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: five years ago, something happened ten years ago. I don't 149 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: really think that's relevant, Thomas, that you never really get 150 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: over the last time you guys played the Eagles. Does 151 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: that game stick in your mind when you face the 152 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: team again? Well, I mean I think you remember those games. 153 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: I mean I remember our games I lost in high school, 154 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: Remember games I lost in Eaglely Football, Remember games I 155 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: lost it the Giants in Cleveland, And I mean, yeah, 156 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: those games. Sure they'll stick with it. I mean, you 157 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: remember some of the wins, but I think the losses 158 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: stick with you more. But that's all in the past. 159 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: That's water under the bridge right now. So we'll focus 160 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 1: on this week and see this one comes out. You're 161 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: a fine question, great, Andrew. Obviously, David, you know the 162 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: best answer to this. But when you look at the 163 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: Eagles defense shifting go a little bit more man coverage 164 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: in recent weeks, do you see that as a function 165 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: of them getting healthier in the secondary, with the personality 166 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: more kind of game to game decisions. Yeah, I think, 167 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: you know, Jimmy has the ability to do all the above, 168 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: play his own play man, max Splitz and so forth, 169 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: and so you know, those are his decisions based on 170 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: however he makes them, whether it's game plan, personnel, matchup, situation, 171 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: some combination of all the above, as long as well 172 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: as mixing it up and not doing the same thing 173 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: all the time. But that's that's why Jimmy's a really 174 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: good coach. He gets the most out of his players. 175 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: He maximizes what they can do and the matchups that 176 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: he has against the opponents. And so we'll have to 177 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: be ready for a lot of different things. I'm sure 178 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: he'll he'll keep it moving on us. I don't know 179 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: that we'll be able to predict what he's in, you know, 180 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: whatever those percentages may or may not have been in 181 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: some other weeks. I mean, there's no guarantee that's what 182 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: it's going to be against us, and how he sees 183 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: us and how he wants to match up against us. 184 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: And again, I think that we'll vary from situation the situation. 185 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's the same one first intend as 186 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: it is on second and three, or second and twelve, 187 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: or third and four or third and nine. I mean, 188 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: it's not it's not all the same. So, you know, 189 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: so much of this game situational. We'll we'll have to 190 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: see how those things play out. Well, I mean, I 191 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: can't imagine he's just gonna come in and play one 192 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: coverage all day. I mean, I can't imagine that. I mean, 193 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't happen in this league, in any game. So 194 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see how it goes. We'll have to 195 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: figure it out. And I'm sure to make it art. 196 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: She always does, so that's part of the challenge. They 197 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: have great players, but they're very well coached. They're a 198 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: good situational team, they're a good fundamental team. They're strong 199 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: in all three areas of the game. And certainly Jimmy's 200 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: one of the best best international football league. So yeah, 201 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: we'll ever we're cut out for us. Good all right, yep, 202 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: thanks
