1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Um, Josh, I'm just curious what you saw in terms 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: of the tempo of the fourth quarter offense versus the 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: first three quarters of that game. UM, I'm not sure 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: what you're referring to. Are you talking about how we 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 1: played or it seemed like, you know, past there was 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: more an urgency obviously the score. Can you hear me, Josh, Yeah, 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: I can't know, okay, Um. Nor it just seemed like 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: as the game became more urgent, it seemed like the 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: tempo increased, and obviously you've set up the poor Dannie 10 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: Amandola makes clutch play after clutch play. Just get your 11 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: thoughts on that. Yeah, I thought the execution increase. I 12 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: don't know that the tempo did. Um. I mean we 13 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: played a little bit, you know, we played with some 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: tempo throughout the whole game. Um, But I thought our 15 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: execution was what was um, you know, I would say 16 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: significant at that point in the game. But um, you know, obviously, look, 17 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: when you're you're playing in these games that either win 18 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: or you're done, you know, there's urgency from the beginning 19 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: of the week and it carries through the end of 20 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: the game. And I thought we all had urgency. The 21 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: players certainly did, and they executed under pressure when they 22 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: had to. Um, you know, which is you know, the 23 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: the most important aspect of the game. You know, at 24 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: the end, when you needed to make those plays, the 25 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: guys that did their jobs very well came up with 26 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: the critical plays that helped us win on offense. Thank hey, Josh, 27 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering how maybe the game plan or the 28 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: schemes you guys were able to use change once Gronkowski 29 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: went out of the game, especially um down by the 30 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: goal line with just one tight end in uniform. Yeah, 31 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: I mean you have to make some adjustments. Um. You know, 32 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: we always we go into the game with a certain 33 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: idea of how we want to try to play it. Um, 34 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: that doesn't it, you know, does certainly doesn't always play 35 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: out the way that you wanted it to or that 36 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: you had hoped to or designed it to. But that 37 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: happens in every game. Very few times do you ever 38 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: get the chance to do that. So, Um, whether it's 39 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: an injury, a scheme change on defense, something happens that 40 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: forces your hand a little bit. Um, I think that 41 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: the players and the coaches on our staff are used 42 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: to making some adjustments like that, you know, how many 43 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,119 Speaker 1: or how many plays or you know what we had 44 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: to do. I mean, look, we had plays in the 45 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: game we could certainly, you know, run with just one 46 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: tight end plenty of those and UM, and that's kind 47 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: of what we went to. UM, And I thought Dwayne 48 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: Allen was ready to go and stepped in there and 49 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: did his job very well after Rob you know, left 50 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: the game. So everybody understands that that's part of the game. 51 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: And when that happens, you just have to brace, you know, 52 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: whatever role you need to take on to help the 53 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: team win. Next question Mike Reeves, followed by Bilbert Josh 54 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: m Danny m. Mendola's fourth quarter performance. You've seen some 55 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: good ones over the years. Where do you put that 56 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: in terms of what he did in the fourth quarter? 57 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: And then anything stand out to you on the environment 58 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: in the stadium last night. I don't know if I 59 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: don't know about ranking, you know, because there's been a 60 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: lot of really good ones in terms of you know, 61 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: you know, team performances and those types of things. But obviously, Danny, 62 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: I've said this a number of times before, UM, what 63 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: he does in the most critical situations in the game 64 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: makes him, you know, who he is, and you know, 65 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: that's a guy that's dependable, that does whatever the team 66 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: needs them, you know, whether it's a punt return, critical catch, 67 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: blocking somebody down the field on a screenplay. Danny does 68 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: everything to the best of his ability, and he wants 69 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: to win, and he competes hard, and he's a tremendous, 70 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: tremendous teammate. So we're fortunate to have him on our team. Um, 71 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: I've said it before, it's a privilege to coach him 72 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: and many of the guys that are like him that 73 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: we have playing here. We're we're lucky. The locker room 74 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: that we have is special, and uh, you know, just 75 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: happy we have another two weeks to get to do 76 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: the same thing, work with them, coach them, and try 77 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: to go out there and put our best performance on 78 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: the line here in two weeks. And the stadium I 79 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: thought was amazing. You know, we've been here for quite 80 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: a few great you know, big games, great atmospheres, and 81 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: they were tremendous. You know, we needed their support and 82 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: I thought they they really stepped up and it was 83 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: a great evening to be a part of and in 84 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: a fun environment to play in. And that's why he 85 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: worked so hard during the course of the season to 86 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: try to earn the right to play that game at home. 87 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: And I thought that really stood out the last two 88 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: questions at Bilbert and Bob Socie, Hey, Josh, congrats, Um, 89 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: thank you. See the third and eighteen Callum and looking 90 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: at the play, Um looked like it was his own. 91 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: And I think Bill had mentioned that Danny snuck in 92 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: between the safeties and the and over the linebackers. The 93 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: play look like James White took off to the left 94 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: a little bit on a flare. Tom looked at him, 95 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: maybe pulled the linebackers over. Can you talk about that play, 96 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: that play call? And then is that something that that 97 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: Tom decides at the line of scrimmage? How that all 98 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: worked out specifically last night? Yeah? Um, well yeah, you know, look, 99 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: when you need eighteen yards, it's snuts. There's something I 100 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: don't have many calls on the call sheet that are, 101 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, that are specifically designed to be perfect calls 102 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: for that situation. I mean, you have to have a 103 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: couple maybe, but that's not a very ideal addition to 104 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: put yourself in an offense, you know, with what you 105 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: did in the first two plays. But look, if you're 106 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: in that situation, you've got to have people that go 107 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: at least to the distance you need or maybe beyond it, 108 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: and maybe somebody that's a little shorter for a potential 109 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: catch and run, which James and Dwayne were underneath, and 110 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: we sent the three receivers down the field a little 111 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: bit and Danny had some space in there to work 112 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: in the middle. I felt the protection was the critical 113 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: element of the play. It almost always is on third 114 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: and long, and you know, James and Dwayne kind of 115 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: bumped the edge and then the guys did a really 116 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: good job of holding up. Tom moved a little bit 117 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: into pocket subtly to really try to buy himself an 118 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: extra second or a second and a half, and then 119 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: Danny found the space and Tommy found Danny. So a 120 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: lot of little things have to happen on plays like 121 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: that in order to make them successful. Our guys really 122 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: did a good job of executing in that situation under 123 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: pressure and making the play that we needed to make 124 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: huge play in the game. Last question, Bob, so I 125 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,239 Speaker 1: think Stacy morning Josh regarding Danny regretting Danny at Danny 126 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: in space. He's made obviously a lot of big catches 127 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: and a number of them. It seems in the back 128 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: of the end zone, the same area as yesterday's fourth 129 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: quarter you go ahead touchdown catch. What is it? What 130 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: characteristics does he demonstrate in terms of awareness of spacing 131 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: and being able to find and opening in what a 132 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: relatively tight space is. Indeed, you know, Danny plays a 133 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,239 Speaker 1: position where you have to have instincts and awareness and 134 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: a feel. It's hard to explain that. It's hard to 135 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: coach that necessarily you try, but Danny's Danny's position by nature. 136 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: Playing in there as a slot receiver, you work around 137 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: a lot of different body types and you see a 138 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: lot of different coverage schemes, and so you have to 139 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: kind of you know, there's some maneuvering in there, there's 140 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: some settling in zones, there's some you know, you have 141 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: to have your eyes ahead of you and see what's 142 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: in front of you. If there's nothing there, maybe you 143 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: keep going like you did on the touchdown previous. You know. 144 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of little things things that go 145 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: into that, and you have to make split second decisions 146 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: and react the same way that the quarterback would see 147 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: it too. And I think Danny's just shown the ability 148 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: over and over and over again in these critical situations 149 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: that he's going to do the right thing. The quarterback 150 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: has tremendous faith and trust in him. He's very dependable, 151 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: and obviously he's got tremendous hands, and so when you 152 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: throw the ball to him in those types of situations, 153 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: you have great confidence that he's going to do the 154 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: right thing and he's going to make the play that 155 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: you need him to make, and he's proving it over 156 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: and over again that he'll do that. So you know 157 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: he's been clutching those moments before and and you know 158 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: he certainly was again last night. Thanks Joshu.
