1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Hey, Bill, many Happy New Year, Happy New Year. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 2: Ye yeah, happy New Year. Than to you guys too. 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: Are you a resolution guy? 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: I'll probably try to keep those with myself. 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well we obviously I. 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 2: Don't get called out on them. 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: I think you're supposed to write him down or something 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: like that and then and then you can manage it. 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: You're probably not. Are you a big manifest guy, Bill, 10 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: Courtney's big into manifestation? 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't measure that. 12 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: Vision boards. Well, listen, you alluded to this obviously post game, 13 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: But it seems like when when it comes to turnovers 14 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: for this football team that's sort of been a struggle 15 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: all season long, and yeah, you know you end up 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: again playing that Bills team. Well and but and if 17 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: not for the turnovers, the result may may have been different. 18 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: Well, we you know, we put ourselves in a hole there, 19 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 2: uh you know, in the second quarter and then kind 20 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: of you know, battle back. We couldn't battle all the 21 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: way back. It's just, you know, too much to give 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: a good team like that. 23 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 3: So, Bill, it did seem like when it came to 24 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 3: those turnovers, at least on one occasion, it was a 25 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 3: miscommunication between Bailey and Regord. Does did you see that? 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: And do you put a lot of the fault on 27 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: those turnovers on Bailey or or the offense as a hole. 28 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, each play had its own, you know, had 29 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: its own elements. But to say, you know, in general, 30 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: the the high level of execution that we needed on 31 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: a couple of those plays, we just didn't just didn't 32 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: have so and obviously we paid for it. 33 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 4: So Bill, Sean McDermott was effusive in his praise for 34 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 4: you after the game. It looked like you guys shared 35 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 4: a you know, could embrace afterwards. What was it conveyed there? 36 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 4: And what do you think about what mcdermot's done in Buffalo? 37 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Sean and Brandon have done really good 38 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: job up there. Obviously, you know, I've won several divisions 39 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: and you know, and it again this year. So yeah, 40 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 2: I mean they've they've done a great job. 41 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: One of the things Bill, that I think I especially 42 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: enjoy about having the opportunity to have you on is 43 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: to get the chance to clear things up that that 44 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: are talked about a lot. And wanted to ask about 45 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: Trent Brown, who took offense with a sports Illustrated report 46 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: that he has been late a lot this season. Has 47 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: that been an issue or is that something that you 48 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: can clear up. 49 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to comment on any personal situations 50 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: or contracts or anything like that. So it was the 51 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: coaching decision ob lated at that. 52 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: Bill. 53 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 3: It did seem the last two games at least, that 54 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: these players have really put the effort in, and a 55 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: lot of people we've talked about it on this show 56 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 3: are saying that they look like they're playing for you. 57 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 3: I'm on that account that seems to think that these 58 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 3: players want to succeed for you, even though the post 59 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: season is out of the question. There's been a lot 60 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 3: of rumors about your future. Bailey's appy on this station 61 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: said that, you know, he hears them. Everybody else hears them. 62 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: You told us that you have an open door policy 63 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: with your players if they have any questions. Does it 64 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 3: feel like to you that these players are playing for 65 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 3: you now? 66 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: I think the players have come in every really every week, 67 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: and on a pretty consistent basis, you know, very consistent 68 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: bass not perfect, but on a very consistent basis, come in, 69 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: you know, worked hard, try to correct our mistakes, prepare 70 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: for the next team. You know, get the game plan, 71 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 2: go over and over the game plan to try to 72 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 2: make sure we have it down, you know, as well 73 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: as we can in all three phases of the game. 74 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: And that's what these guys have done all year, from 75 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: the beginning of the year until you know, all the 76 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 2: way through it last week in Buffalo. So I don't 77 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: expect it to change, I don't, you know. I think 78 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: that's just what they are and what they do. Got 79 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: some really good leadership out of our captains and some 80 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: of the other veterans on the team, and you know, 81 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: people have followed their example, and so I mean, look, 82 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: we're all just trying to get better and do the 83 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 2: best job we can. I mean, that's really you know, 84 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 2: that's really what it's about. 85 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 4: Bill the I don't know if you caught the Saturday 86 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 4: night Cowboys Lions game, but the ineligible receiver play on 87 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 4: a two point conversion was improperly called by the refs. 88 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 4: Obviously that originated with you twenty fourteen in against the 89 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 4: Ravens in the divisional playoff game. I'm not sure if 90 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 4: you could talk to me through this. Rex Ryan discussed 91 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 4: how the coaches go in to meet with the refs 92 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 4: when discussing any trick plays prior to a game. Did 93 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 4: you do that with the refs in twenty fourteen in 94 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 4: the divisional round when you guys were going to implement 95 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,559 Speaker 4: that eligible and eligible offense in the second half. 96 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,119 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I didn't see the Dallas Detroit game. 97 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 2: I heard about it, i'n't actually seen exactly what happens. 98 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: In comment on that, we didn't do anything ill legal 99 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: in the Baltimore game. I mean, people have been recording 100 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: as eligible and eligible since for as long as I've 101 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: been in the league, and way before. That happens on 102 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 2: fourth down, and it happens on you know, other downs, 103 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: whether usually it's an offensive lineman reporting or defensive lineman 104 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: reporting an ineligible number to be eligible. But you know 105 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 2: eligible numbers can be ineligible on punts and in other plays. 106 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: And then they changed that rule a couple of years 107 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: later about where the where that player could be located 108 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: and so forth. But teams have done that before, They've 109 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: done it against us, and we did it against Baltimore. 110 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: There's nothing illegal about that play. 111 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: Bill looks like Lamar Jackson very well may end up 112 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: being the MVP this season. He was a guy that 113 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: was available offseason wise, and Robert Kraft had said publicly 114 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: essentially that you could go get him if you wanted to. 115 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: Did you make any serious attempt at trying to get him? 116 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: And if not, how come? 117 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, there's a lot of things that go on 118 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 2: in the off season, and of each each player has 119 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 2: its own story. But look, he was in Lamar's case, 120 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 2: I mean, he you know, there was there was a 121 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: lot of I would say there, but there would have 122 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: been a lot of moving parts on that one anyway. 123 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 2: So but you know, I'll discuss the players that are 124 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: on the team, not the ones that aren't on it. 125 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's a lot of players out there 126 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: that you know, we're available. They are always available in 127 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: the off season, and we talked to some of the 128 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: players and the agents and all that, but those are 129 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: all like that's that those conversations are all on a 130 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 2: whole other level. So just stick the guys out of here. 131 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 3: When you look back at last year's draft and getting 132 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 3: Chad Ryland, what do you think has gone wrong there 133 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 3: for him? Obviously he had a great end when it 134 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: came to the winning Denver, but we saw him miss 135 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: again on Sunday, what's been what's been the difficulty when 136 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: it comes to Chad Ryland this season. 137 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 2: Well, just in general, let's say you know, our like 138 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 2: usual Lenori younger players that have shown some promise, there 139 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: have been some ups and downs with with all of them, 140 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: not just this year, but other years, and see that 141 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: pretty much throughout the league. So you know, our our 142 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: rookies are you know, they come in, they work hard, 143 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: they're trying to you know, improved, and they have, but 144 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: you know, we still obviously have work to do. And 145 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: that's that's really all of them. That's you put them 146 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: on the same put them all in the same category. 147 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: Hindsight being twenty twenty and looking back at that that 148 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: twenty three draft, do you do you wish that you 149 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: had maybe taken offensive player first three rounds as opposed 150 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: to picking on the other side of the football bill. 151 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I mean right now, we're just really focus, 152 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: don't getting ready for the Jets and and uh, you know, 153 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 2: finishing the season with a win. So we'll look into 154 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 2: some other things, you know, at the end of the year. 155 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: And you know, we always go back and and try 156 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: to look at the things that we've done and then 157 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 2: the previous year or previous series of years to you know, 158 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 2: look at ways to improve and you know, analyze how 159 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 2: things were done. So we've we've always done that and 160 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: we'll continue to do that.
