1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Good morning Bill. I was curious if you had a

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: chance to watch any of the NFC title game. Um,

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: I saw some of it, any Yeah, I know you'll

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: the coaches film. I just kind of watch the game

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: on TV a little bit yesterday. A pretty impressive performance

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: I Philadelphia. Yeah, I know you'll. You'll get into them

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: a lot more. Here is the next couple of days,

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm told, what are what are? You? Just sort of

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: some initial thoughts on the Super Bowl matchup against UM

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson the Eagles. Yeah, I think I really need

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: a little little more time on that one. Um. And

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: then and then the follow up on yesterday, and a

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: couple of people just have noted the environment at the

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Gillette for the game. I was curious, did anything stand

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: out to you on just the environment if yesterday I

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: thought there was a lot of energy in the in

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: the stadium. Sure it is. My next question Michael Tragon,

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: followed by Anthony Bruzia, Morning Bill. I want to ask

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: you a couple of or one question about the decision

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: to punt twice in the third quarter. Believe it was

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: seventeen ten at the time on both of those situations,

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: fourth and fourth at Jacksonville forty seven and the fourth

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: and two at the Jacksonville forty six. How much discussion

24
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: was there between possibly going for it or doing what

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: you actually wound up doing and putting the ball and

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: what went into that. I don't think there was a

27
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: lot of discussion. I felt like that was the best

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: thing for us to do both those situations. The way

29
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: your reference is playing factor into that in terms of

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: the field position, Yeah, I guess so and so more

31
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: thing night, Um, the way you guys be able to

32
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: handle the run game, especially in the fourth quarter, and

33
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: keep them pinned back in the in their own end

34
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: of the field. What stood out to you on film

35
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: about the way you guys played run defense. We just

36
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: say we're just better at everything in the fourth quarter,

37
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: all the way across the board. We made plays in

38
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: all three areas of the game. Just seem to be

39
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: at a higher level of execution in the fourth quarter. Um,

40
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: we're better offensively, we're better defensively when they plays in

41
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: the kicking game, kickoff coverage, funt return. So I think

42
00:02:54,600 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: our guys are in good condition. Um, they certainly seem

43
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: to have enough energy and stamina to ut have our

44
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: best and most productive place in the fourth quarter wouldn't

45
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: matter the most, So I don't know. Thank you. Next

46
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: question Anthony Gluzia Fall by Jim mcbry A right, Bill.

47
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you can describe the impact Ricky

48
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: John Francois has had in the room for the for

49
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: the defensive lineman. Just he ha tran experience that he

50
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: brings to this team. Obviously haven't haven't been to the

51
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl before in San Francisco, and on the field,

52
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Why he's been able to pick things up so quickly

53
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: and have an impact in such a short time. Ah, Well,

54
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Ricky does have experience. UM, I don't think being a

55
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl really has anything to do with it. We

56
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: have a lot of guys that can say that. I

57
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: don't even think that means much. Um, But Ricky's just

58
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: he's a smart guy. He's worked very hard to pick

59
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: up our system. He's given us a really solid level

60
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: of play in the running game and the passing game.

61
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: He's a smart player. He's got good instincts, recognize his

62
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: plays well, especially some sometimes some more difficult to recognize

63
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: type of plays or plays that are designed to throw

64
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: you off. His ability to see those is good that

65
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: he's worked hard to learn our system and pick up

66
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: the fundamentals and techniques that we've we've tried to utilize,

67
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: and glad we have him. He's done a good job.

68
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: The next question Jim McBride, followed by Rich Kirker. All Right,

69
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: good morning, coach. I know you touched on this a

70
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: little bit after the game yesterday, but I'm wondering how

71
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: impressed you've been by Ryan Allen's consistency, not only yesterday

72
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: impending the opponent back, but pretty much this whole postseason

73
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: and kind of the second half of the season. Oh yeah,

74
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: Jim agreed. Agreed, Um, Ryan's done a good job for

75
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: us in both the backed up plumbing when we need

76
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: distance and and net plumbing to really be maximized because

77
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: of the field position, but also in the plus fifty

78
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: pipe areas where it's a lot more about um skill

79
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: and ball placement and hang time and really really ball

80
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: placement is in hang time really two key things there

81
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 1: in that area the field more than the obviously distance,

82
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: and he's done a real good job of that. He's

83
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: been able to move the ball around a little bit,

84
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: um always kicking in the same place, and that's always

85
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: tough on off on the returner and the return team.

86
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: So he's yeah, he's done a really really good job

87
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: for us. Thank you. Yeah. The last two questions will

88
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: be rich Carbon and Phil carry for head. So it's wondering,

89
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: just um ask I was wondering if you could just

90
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: tell me how you saw on Jamie and Dola converted

91
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: the the third and eighteen catching the in the third

92
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: quarter there and then at the end of the game,

93
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmo was defending a fourth and fifteen, and just

94
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: um what you saw in each of those plays in

95
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: terms of um what Danny and Stefan did well. Danny

96
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: um on the third and eighteen they were in um

97
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: quarters kind of coverage, and so he got behind the

98
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: linebackers uh and safeties and kind of split the safetyes,

99
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: got inside of the the strong safety and there's a

100
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: whole there kind of ting the strong safety and the

101
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: free safety that was a little bit in front of

102
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: the safeties and a little bit behind the linebackers and

103
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: made made a real good throw. Tom stepped up and

104
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: saw him and made a good throw, and Danny went

105
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: down and made a good, good catch on a low

106
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: ball that probably needed to be thrown low because of

107
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: the proximity of the defenders. So it was just really

108
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: a well well executed play by those two players. And um,

109
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: that was a big drive obviously a catalyst on that

110
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: touchdown drive. It was a big drive to get a good,

111
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: big play to get us going on that drive. Last question,

112
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: and then just you could just feel just on the

113
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: other end of that, that's the fun Gilmore play. I'm sorry, yeah, yes,

114
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: that was. We're in a man to man coverage and

115
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: you know those are those over routes can be tougher

116
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: routes against that type of coverage because the receiver has

117
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: a lot of space and can kind of run away

118
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: from the defender. Defender doesn't really have any leverage, and

119
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: about all the defender can do is either keep up

120
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: with the route or which a lot of times a

121
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: good throw and a good catch can result in the

122
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: completion there, or undercut it and make a tougher throw

123
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: and and a tougher plate execute for the quarterback. And

124
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: Stefans has got very he's got a good feel for that,

125
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of experience doing it, and he's

126
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: got a good feel for running with the receiver or

127
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: trying to undercover based on the route and the individual

128
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: skills of the receiver and the quarterback and so forth,

129
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: and I thought he made a they an outstanding play.

130
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: He was in in really good position and then he's long,

131
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: He's got good length, and I was able to pretty

132
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: easily reach out and not easily, but I mean he

133
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't have to leave his feet. He

134
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: had enough length to the run and stretch and and

135
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: make the play on the ball. So just an outstanding playoff.

136
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: I thought the fun played well for us yesterday. Thank you.

137
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: Last question of Phil Perry, Hey Bill, I just wanted

138
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: to ask you about the White touchdown at the end

139
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: of the half um where he had the completion to

140
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: Cooks and then it looked like you guys kind of

141
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: hurried to the line there to get another snapop was

142
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: was the tempo there? Um maybe a way to prevent

143
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's defense from getting their goal line group out there.

144
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: I know you guys were obviously without Rob at that point, right, Yeah, Well,

145
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: there wasn't a whole lot of time um left at

146
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: that point. I don't I don't know what they what

147
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: they would have done. I don't think they would have

148
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: put goal line out there unless we had put our

149
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: goal line out there. I mean I don't know that

150
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: for sure, but I don't think they would have done that,

151
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: and we just felt like there was an advantage to

152
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: to moving moving quickly on that. Tom Josh did a

153
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: good job of getting the situation set off. Tom did

154
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: a good job of executing it, getting the getting things

155
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: set up, the line of scrimmage and making sure that

156
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: we had a good play when the wall was snapped.

157
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: But sometimes when you go fast on a play like that,

158
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: you can end up running right into something as much

159
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: as you can end up running away from it. So um,

160
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: it's really pretty well executed all the way around, and

161
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: James made a good run. But I don't think they

162
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: would have I don't think they would have been able

163
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: or would have even wanted to sub in their full

164
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 1: line unless unless we had done it first. So right, Ober,

165
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: remember the two minute situation, there's no there's no defensive match,

166
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: So any subs you make in a two minute situation,

167
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: you're on your own, whereas at any other time the

168
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: other the other twenty eight minutes each have um the

169
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: umpire will step in there and give the defense an

170
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: opportunity to match the subs right in a two minute situation,

171
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: there's no match, So trying to trying to sub a

172
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: goal line unit on if they're not subbing, if the

173
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 1: offense isn't subbing, is a pretty to be kind of

174
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: a risky thing to do because you're you could do

175
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: it anyway and and struggle with the tempo of the play,

176
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: but with no hold up at all by the Empire,

177
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: just the ability offense to go right to the ball

178
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: and snapped the ball, just not go to the line

179
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: and snap the ball, that would really make it tough.

180
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: I think it really make it tough to make that substitution.

181
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: So things like yeah, you're welcome,
