1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: We'll start with Jim McBride followed by Mike Grease like, 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: good morning, you'd good morning, Jim. Are you doing what 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: are you good? So a lot of you guys talked 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: after the game about stopping the run was a big 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: priority in Cleveland, or the number one priority, And I'm 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: just wondering what the vibe is like on the sideline 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: for you and Steve and the other defensive coaches. When 8 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: you see the plan that you've come up with working 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: in real time, it always feels good. And I would 10 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: also say, you know, Coach Belichick always says that players 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: win games and coaches lose games. So we know we 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: have good players on this team and we just got 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: to put them in the right positions to make plays. 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: Thanks su, Thank you. Next question Mike Grease followed by 15 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: Nickomelli gard how are you doing today? I'm doing well, Mike. 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: How are you really good? Really good? Like the glasses 17 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: Afredy Jennings get some extended playing time in this last game. 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: Obviously every team that you base does different things. It's 19 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: pretty I actually curious what you saw from him, just 20 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: point blank yeah, I would tell you Anfrey had a 21 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: heck of a game. I went out there and did 22 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: everything we asked him to do. Obviously, had just had 23 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: an increased role with some of the guys that didn't 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: play in the game, but really did a nice job. 25 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: Anfrey's a smart guy who you know, we covered versatility 26 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: around here. He's one of those guys that could do 27 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: multiple things, whether it's rush off the edge, you know, 28 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: stop the run, communicate to the defense up front. He's 29 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: just an all around, you know, well rounded player that 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: we're happy to have and and not to keep looking back. 31 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: But I was just so interested in the package you 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: guys opened with against their three tight end grouping with 33 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: the one corner the you know, I call it four 34 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: down linemen and sort of three linebackers if you will. 35 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: You've been in this defense as a player and a coach. 36 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: When you with that, what does that say about what 37 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: you do when you you know, just like you thought 38 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: that was the best way to match up with that, 39 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: So what does that say about your guys approach? I 40 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: guess yeah, you know, you've been around here for a 41 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: long time, Mike. You know, we always talk about being 42 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: a game playing defense, and they did the same thing 43 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: to us last year, so we kind of expected for 44 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: them to come out in these three tight end packages, 45 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: and that was what we thought was the best way 46 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: to approach it. I would also say the guys have 47 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: done an excellent job on the sidelines, you know, as 48 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: far as adjustments are concerned, and you know, even some 49 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: things that we didn't talk about during the week, you know, 50 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: versus that package. You know, we kind of put some 51 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: things in on the sideline. Those guys went out there 52 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: and executed it. So we have a bunch of guys 53 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: on this team who love football, who understand football concepts 54 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: instead of just their individual position or individual responsibility, and 55 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: that's a valuable piece to we'll we're able to do 56 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: last week. Did they go empty on that last year too? Yeah, 57 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: they had some empty thirteen person last year as well, 58 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: So really no big surprise there. Next question, Nico Mallen 59 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: feel about Chris, Ryan, Hey, Drod going back to Anthony, 60 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: also Mac and Wilson and even Dante before we left 61 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: the team, very strong Alabama presence in the locker room 62 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: in New England as of late. So how did it 63 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: feel to see Tennessee knocked them off? And where you 64 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: playing Rocky Top in the It felt good, It felt 65 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: good and you know, the Valls, they're doing a good job. 66 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: You know, I think Hype was doing a good job, 67 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, bringing the spirit of Tennessee back. It's just 68 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: a huge win. It's been it's been a long time 69 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: since Tennessee is beating out a dame. I think I 70 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: was still in school when the last time he actually 71 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: did beat Alabama. So it's exciting to see as a Vall. 72 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: And what have you seen from Jamie Collins since he's 73 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: returned to the team. Yeah, Jamie's he's coming and he's 74 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: working hard. You know, he's working hard in the weight room, 75 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: he's working hard on the practice field. We all know 76 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: that Jamie's a smart guy who understands this defense and 77 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: the way we want to play. So, you know, it 78 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: just takes it one day at a time and I 79 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: can appreciate that. Thanks Drod, Thanks Nick. Nick could get 80 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: bonus points for the creativity of asking a goals question. Well, 81 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: then next question Chris Ryan, followed by Evan Lazzar. Hey, Dared, 82 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: how are you? I'm doing well, Chris, how are you good? Um? 83 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: Kyle was talking yesterday about his interception and mentioned the 84 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: Dietrich wise, the job he did and flushing out Jacoby 85 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: on that planet. Seems that Wise is getting the quarterback 86 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: a lot obviously this year. What has that meant and 87 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: having him and Jude on, what's the dynamic of how 88 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: those two kind of play off of each other. Yeah, 89 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: they broke bring a very unique set of skills. You know, 90 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: you look at Jude On, a very athletic, you know, 91 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: could bend the corner very well. Then you look at 92 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: a guy like Wise, and if you were just to 93 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: look at Wise just as body, he would just be like, yeah, 94 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: there's no way this guy can can rush to pass it. 95 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: But when you talk about a guy who works at 96 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: his craft each and every day, doesn't take a period off, 97 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: even those special teams periods where you know, some of 98 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: the Lignement are just chilling around, like whis is getting 99 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: one on one drills and you know, really sharpening and 100 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: sword every opportunity that he gets. And I'm just I'm 101 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: proud to see, you know, there are things that he's 102 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: done so far and look forward to seeing that continue 103 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: as we go forward. But definitely a leader on this team, 104 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: and you know, he's already surpassed his you know, I 105 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: think he matched his last year's sack total, and hopefully 106 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: that continues to go. I had a question about the 107 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: secondary as well, where it seems that a lot of 108 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: guys will have success in New England and perhaps not 109 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: have the same type of success when they go other places. Meanwhile, 110 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: you'll bring in undrafted guys or guys are overlooking the 111 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: draft and they have a lot of success. Why do 112 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: you think that is? What about the system or about 113 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: the coaching staff allows for certain guys to have success 114 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: here and maybe they go somewhere else and they don't 115 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: experience the same success. This must be a JC reference. 116 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: I went around without mentioning it, but you and what 117 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: I will say is, you know, one thing even when 118 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: I was coming out of college that was different about 119 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: this place, before I even met the coaches, was just 120 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: the parking lot. And when I when I say that, 121 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: you know, I went into the parking lot of other 122 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: teams and you know, you see the Ferraris and the 123 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: Lamborghins and and all that stuff. And then you come 124 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: to Foxborough and you see the work trucks, you see 125 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: the family van. So there's really not much to do 126 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: here but play football, and so when guys come here, uh, 127 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of you know, fully emerging into the system, 128 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: fully merging in the football, and you really, you really 129 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: gained a passion for playing football. And I would also say, then, 130 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: you know, to work your way to the coaches. It 131 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: starts obviously with Bill. You know, his expectations are oftentimes, 132 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, higher than your own expectations as a player. 133 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: And that's not only on game day, but also on 134 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: a down a day after day basis, down after down 135 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: basis and practice and then obviously in the game. And 136 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: then I would say that trickles down to the position coaches, 137 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: you know, reiterating the vision or the north star that 138 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: coach has already set for the team. So I'm not 139 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: sure what other teams do, because this is the only 140 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: place that I've been in the Pro, so I can 141 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: only speak for what we do. Thanks well, thank you. 142 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: The last two questions Evonlas aren't Karen Griggy? Hey, Jarad, 143 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: how you doing? I'm doing well? How are you, Evan, 144 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: I'm doing well. I wanted to ask you about Mac Wilson. 145 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: I was talking about to him in the locker room 146 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: last week and he just said that rushing on the 147 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage wasn't something that he has done a 148 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: ton in the NFL, maybe some of Alabama. What was 149 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: it that you guys saw in practice that allowed him 150 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: to kind of carve out that role as like an 151 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: interior rusher on the line. Yeah. You know, the thing 152 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: about Mac, he's a great athlete first and foremost. He 153 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: has tremendous speech, tremendous explosion, change of direction and things 154 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: like that. You know, as the weeks go on. You know, 155 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: oftentimes people think like development stops, you know, when training 156 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: camp is over, but that's not the approach we take 157 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: here in New England. Development continues to go on and 158 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: on and on and we always to player our best 159 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: football as the season progresses. You know, specifically to Mac, 160 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: he's done a great job as far as you know, 161 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: taking the one on ones and practice, you know, whether 162 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: it's versus the backs off the ball or on the ball, 163 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: versus tackles, and has definitely shown some things in practice 164 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: and it was good to see it carry over to 165 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: the game. Got it. Thank you. Thanks. I don't question 166 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: Karen greegame 'red How are you, hey, Karen? How are you? 167 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: I'm doing fine. Obviously we don't know Christian Barmore's status. 168 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: You know, hopefully things will turn out okay for him, 169 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: But I'm just wondering, in terms of his impact, both 170 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: against the pass and particularly against the run, how much 171 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: him taking up double teams has helped your linebackers. Yeah, 172 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: it's always good. It's always good when you have a 173 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: big body in there with the type of explosion and 174 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: athleticism that Barmore possesses. Anytime we can allow our backers 175 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: to kind of flow to the ball, we feel like 176 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: we're in a pretty good place. And we always say, 177 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: if those guys get singled up up front, then they 178 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: have to make the play. Barber is one of those 179 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: guys that really does get singled up. But it's not 180 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: just Barber. Honestly, when you look at that defensive line, 181 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: you look at Lawrence Guy, you look at you know, DG. 182 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: You look at all those that you look at Wise, 183 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: you look at you and all those guys have done 184 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: a great job as far as you know. Obviously, we've 185 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: had some sometimes where the running game wasn't what we 186 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: wanted it to be, but as we continue to progress, 187 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: those guys are doing a good job. As far as awareness. 188 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: You don't want to expect run and pass and plan 189 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: to it, but look forward to getting Barber back out. 190 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: Thank you jer Thanks Gonner, thank you very much.
