1 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: There it is he camp. I just want to ask 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: about a pulper turn situation. Um. Unfortunately we saw Gunner 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: left the game. How do you feel about the team's 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: ability to provide depth of position? We know Gunner brings 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: a lot of explosive plays, especially last year, heading these 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: this year, how do you feel what's it like bringing 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: another guy into that position sort of in cold like 8 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: Jacobe coming in off the bench to be thrown into 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: what's a pretty difficult job. Yeah, you know that that's 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: that's goes back to, you know, starting back in training 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: camp when we're repping a lot of different guys and 12 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: getting them reps early. You know, the more guys you 13 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: can rep early on and continue to do that. You know, 14 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: even throughout practice everything, whether they're getting out there early, 15 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: guys know that you know they're the next guy up, 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: ready to go, so you know they take time and 17 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, catch the balls off the judge machine, catch 18 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: exter ones, after practice, whatever it may be, you know, 19 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: to be ready to go, you know, and then you're 20 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: never you're a getting It's kind of like the quarterback 21 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,319 Speaker 1: position there, it's the next guy up, but you never 22 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: know whe's gonna happen. YopE, he doesn't. But you know 23 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: when it does, guy, you go to him. You know, 24 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: you know through practice and repetitions that he's gotten enough 25 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: work and he's ready to go. You know, when Jacoby 26 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 1: did a great job, came in there, field the ball, 27 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: you know obviously well and didn't didn't miss a beat, 28 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: So it was really good. Next question right in, Hannibal 29 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: he can. I just wanted to ask you about Brandon 30 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: Bolden and just the job that he's done, you know, 31 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: not only on your units, but being you know, a 32 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: big part of the backfield and just what does a 33 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: show about him that he's willing to do all that. Yeah, 34 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: you know, you know, Be's a constant. You know, he's great. 35 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: Love to have him. You know, he does a great 36 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: job for us on the field, off the field leadership roles, 37 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: he's really doing a good job for us, you know, 38 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: and he's got that mentality of you know, I'm never tired, 39 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: I'm never you know, he's never too hard for him 40 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: and he's got the mental toughness, you know, whether it's 41 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: producing plays on offense and then having to go out 42 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: and whether you know, unfortunately cover a punt play. You know, 43 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: if we have to punt there or you know, we 44 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: scoring and he's running back down and saying, hey, I'm 45 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: covering the kickoff. No, I don't need to stub. So 46 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: you know, there's definitely a lot of mental toughness from him, 47 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: and you know, explosive plays and he brings a lot 48 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: to the table, you know, and you see what he's 49 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: doing offensively in the number of plays and you know, 50 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: getting out there on special teams as well. It just 51 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: brings that other players along, I would say with him, 52 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: because it's like, hey, this guy's doing it, I've got 53 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: to be able to do it, you know. So it's 54 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: just great team chemistry. You know, there's a credit to him, 55 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: you know, being able to go out there so much. 56 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: Steve Belichick and drug Man we're started doing their rooms 57 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: nikom ally and you're next. Okay, Kim, I want to 58 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,839 Speaker 1: We're getting in November. Now, how does the cold weather 59 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: start to put a start play factor in the kicking game? 60 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: You know, especially in New England, one gets weird temperature 61 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: snow as a factor. How do you start preparing for 62 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: that as like an additional factor onto everything you already 63 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: have going. Yeah, you know, I think that's a great 64 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: testament of coach. While we practice outside, you know, we 65 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: don't go inside because you need to be in the elements, 66 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: you know, and you know obviously the cold weather does 67 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, start to move in, which is going to 68 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: up here, You're gonna have more balls returns because the 69 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: ball is not gonna fly as far. The wind's gonna 70 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: knock it down. The cold air, you know, it's gonna 71 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: knock the ball down, So you obviously gotta be ready 72 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: to return the ball, you know, on both sides. You know, 73 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: you got ready to cover and you gotta a return. 74 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: So the wind and the weather as it gets colder, 75 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: definitely plays a factor. Is why you know we put 76 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: so emphasis on special teams here. You know across the board, 77 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: it's because you can't control the weather. It's gonna be 78 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: what it's gonna be, you know, so you can't really 79 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: worry about it, but you have to be ready to 80 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 1: prepare for it, you know, because those situations are gonna 81 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: show up. So the more times a practice on the field, 82 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: whether it's wet conditions, whether it's wind, you don't make 83 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: it easy on the guys. You don't just want to, hey, 84 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: where I was gonna punt with the wind you know, no, 85 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna punt against the wind in games, So you know, 86 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: you try to punt into the wind. You try to 87 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: put with the wind. You try to catch with the wind, 88 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: try to catch, you know, with the wind at the back. 89 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: So that way the returner is having to judge it, 90 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: not on the kickoff return, but also as a punt 91 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: returner because it does affect it. You know, when the 92 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: winds that a punishes back, you gotta know as a returner, hey, 93 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: the ball is gonna go further, it's gonna drift, it's 94 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: gonna push the ball down the field. So you know, 95 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: let's just say a punter of that normally is that 96 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: forty five on average. Well, if he's got the wind 97 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: in his back or is pushing in a certain direction, 98 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: you might win to play him at fifty. Whereas if 99 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: you know the winds in his face. Now as instead 100 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: of forty five, you're playing him at forty two to forty. 101 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: Because the ball, your thing is gonna knock down the 102 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: same thing with the cold weather, you gotta put that 103 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: into calculation as well. The quarter it gets, the shore 104 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 1: of the ball is going to travel as well. Great, 105 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, and we'll go back to writing 106 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: a hanimal I had one more about. We were talking 107 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: to Matthews Slater last week and he was talking about 108 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: how your energy has helped him being an older guy 109 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: in the league and kind of helped him get going. 110 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: Is that just something that all special teams coaches have, 111 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: that constant energy you saw it with Joe Judge. Is 112 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: that something you've always had or is that something you've 113 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: had to kind of do more of, you know, in 114 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: your role as a special teams coach. You know, for 115 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: me personally, it's something I've had, you know, as an energy, 116 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: that person, you know, a big passion for what we 117 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: do in the kicking game. You know here when I 118 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: was playing, I played in the kicking game as a player, 119 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: you know, you know energy, That's just kind of part 120 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: of my personality. And I don't think you can ever 121 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: be someone you're not. I think players see through that. 122 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: I think people see through that. So you know, whether 123 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: you're an energetic coach, or you're a monotone coach, or 124 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: you're you know, even killed coach, whatever you wanna call it, 125 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: I think you have to be who you are at 126 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: the end of the day, and players respond best as 127 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: they know you're being genuine, You're being yourself. You're not 128 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: out there trying to put on a performance where it's 129 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: not you. You know, So as far as the energy, 130 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: and I think I have to as a coach bring 131 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: that because you know, I'm not the guy out there 132 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: getting beaten and bruised and you know, having to fight 133 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: through some aches and pains on the field. So you know, 134 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: the more energy I can bring out there, I think 135 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: the guys you know, respond to that. They do a 136 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: good job for us, and you know they also picked 137 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: me up as well, so it's a really good give 138 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: and take right there. But you know, I like to 139 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: bring the energy, and obviously the more of you're playing well, 140 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: the more energetic and be and stuff like that. For sure. Thanks, yeah, 141 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: thank you. That's the last question to be still carry cam. 142 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: How are you doing? You're doing good? At feel How 143 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: are we doing today? Good? I have a follow up 144 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: to Ryan's question, what is it about special teams that 145 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: seems to attract energetic guys to be special teams coaches coordinators? 146 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: It feels like you know, your your approach I'm sure 147 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: is unique to you, but across the league it feels 148 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: like it's those high energy guys that that we often 149 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: see in that position. Yeah, you know, I don't know 150 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: if it's because maybe you're coaching eleven guys and you're 151 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: trying to get to all eleven and you know, you 152 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: don't have time to sit there and sit down in 153 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: the meeting, and you're you're trying to, hey, get eleven 154 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 1: guys on the same page. And you know, five minute 155 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: part of practice, so you're coaching eleven guys, you know, 156 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: one play for thirty seconds. So maybe the attitude of hey, 157 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: I gotta get to this guy. I gotta yea all 158 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: across the field fifty yards to make sure this guy 159 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: can hear me the coaching point. So you're constantly moving 160 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: as a special teams coach across the league. So I 161 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: think that may have something to due to as well. 162 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: And I think it's just part of the nature. You know, 163 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: you see guys in special teams there is a lot 164 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: of toughness, effort, you know, guys that make their name 165 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: for it. You know, they bring the mentality to it. 166 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of the coaches have the 167 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: same feeling. It's like, hey, you know, it's that third phase. 168 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: You know. Obviously we put emphasis on here whether they 169 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: do other places. So it's like, hey, take a little 170 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: pride in that, and you know, you want to bring 171 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: an edge to it, and just one more cam. I 172 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: think we've seen a couple different times and we can 173 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: even we can watch the sideline from open the press 174 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: box or whatever. But on some of these like miked 175 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: up things with Bill Belichick and you guys will be 176 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: standing right next to each other quite a bit. What's 177 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: going on in those those in game moments when you 178 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: guys are side by side? Is he just trying to 179 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: get real time updates from you or is it the 180 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: other way around? What's going on in those in those 181 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: moments there where when you guys are together, Yeah, it changes. 182 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes we're talking about the upcoming situations that 183 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: may be coming up in the game. Um, you know what. 184 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: There's several times we're talking about the weather. Um you know. 185 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: So it's a lot of different depends on the game flow, 186 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: what's actually being said and what we're actually talking about 187 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: in the game situations that's going through route, you know, 188 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: just making sure how he knows what's going on, I 189 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: know what's going on, and that way we're always on 190 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: the same page. Just sound a little bit different than 191 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: like if if I was to talk about the weather 192 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: with somebody at the water cooler or something's similar to 193 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: that or a little bit different. It's a little good 194 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: at both. You know, there's you know, hey, you know 195 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: what do you think it's gonna do? What do you? 196 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: What do you what? Have you read? What they what 197 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: are they say? And so it's just a little bit 198 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: and then there's sometimes just like ah, you know, it 199 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: is what it is, So you know, it could be 200 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,599 Speaker 1: definitely be a little bit of both out there in 201 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: that aspect. Thanks Kim, Thanks Phil, Thank you Kim, thank 202 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: you all.
