1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 1: Good morning.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 2: So what do you got.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 3: Morning, Mike, Hi, soph I'm curious what have you seen

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 3: from Drake this week in terms of preparation and just

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 3: his ability to maybe stay even killed given the higher

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 3: media attention in the bigger stage.

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think we try to make it

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 4: as normal as we possibly can, knowing that it's not

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 4: going to be and we try to stay on the

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 4: same routine and try to keep the meeting times the same,

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 4: the treatment times. And I think that you know, these

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 4: guys were able to work on Monday.

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Have yesterday off. There was a lot of activity.

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 4: Around the hotel, the meeting rooms and guys are getting

15
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 4: together and watching tape, and you know, I think that's

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 4: what everybody has to do to make sure that they're ready.

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 4: And I think the next forty eight hours will be

18
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 4: critical for us as we you know, kind of get

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 4: back into our normal routine here of a Wednesday and Thursday,

20
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 4: and then the families come in and just things start

21
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 4: to ramp up.

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 5: Mike over here know where over here is sorry. We

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 5: see teams every year spend big in free agency and

24
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 5: a lot of times it doesn't work. You guys had

25
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 5: a lot of success with what you did in free

26
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 5: agency this year. Was there something about your approach that

27
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 5: you think going into as an organization that led to

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 5: that success.

29
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: Well, I think you just have to be very intentional

30
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: with the people that you're bringing in. I think, you know,

31
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 4: sometimes free agency you have to be able to use it.

32
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: You can people use it in different ways. It's it's

33
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: a part of our business. It's another way to acquire

34
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 4: players and player acquisition. Understand that you have to be

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 4: convicted on the person that you're bringing in as a player,

36
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 4: and they also the impact that they're going to make

37
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 4: in the locker room and around the building and in

38
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 4: the community. So, you know, I appreciate what everybody did

39
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 4: and their efforts, and Elliott and Ryan and Stretch, I

40
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: appreciate what they do to help us steer us in

41
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 4: the right direction as it relates to the players that

42
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: we're going to try to acquire.

43
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: Go front row on the right, justin Parmer.

44
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: But they'll reports Coach.

45
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 6: You guys have ended up drafting three rookies this year

46
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 6: that made big contributions on special teams.

47
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 7: Can you speak to the contributions of those guys throughout

48
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 7: the season.

49
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 4: Well, it is, you know, we did have some significant

50
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 4: changes in that department and what it relates to Andy

51
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 4: and Julian being able to come into this league and

52
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 4: handle that. And and again, it's never going to be

53
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 4: perfect the kickers. Every kick isn't going.

54
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: To be made.

55
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: But when we've needed Andy and I think he's really

56
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 4: settled in, Julian's been consistent, and Bryce has been you know,

57
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: our punter has been pretty much the veteran of the

58
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: group that's kind of handled those guys.

59
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: So you know, we've made big.

60
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 4: Kicks when we've had two going to to Miami and

61
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: the Buffalo and and on and on on through the playoffs.

62
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 4: So those will be critical that that. You know, if

63
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 4: this game comes down to a field goal, I'm confident

64
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: that those guys will execute yea and.

65
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: Roach on the far let.

66
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 8: Danny, Just a thought on you mentioned the word critical.

67
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 8: These next three days. You mentioned last week you were

68
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 8: slowly going to install things. What's the process like for

69
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 8: you in getting these next three days and getting the

70
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 8: most important things done.

71
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: Well, we felt like you just needed to be have

72
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 4: to make sure that they were engaged and that there

73
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 4: wasn't stuff that was just repetitive and they were sitting

74
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: there looking at us like we already covered this, We

75
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: went through this, So I want to make sure that

76
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 4: now they're stimulated, they're engaged and locked in moving forward here, first, second,

77
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 4: and third in the red zone and situations. So that's

78
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: why the next forty eight hours I think will be

79
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: you know, pretty really important.

80
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: Phil Perry in the middle.

81
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 8: Hey Mike, I'm curious why do you think the Seahawks

82
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 8: are so effective defending the run with just sometimes Ford

83
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 8: down linemen.

84
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: Because they again, they play with great technique, they play

85
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: with great effort, They're talented, different skill sets. Look at

86
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: Murphy and he has one skill set. You look at

87
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 4: Leonard Williams, different skill set. Both play square, you know,

88
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: they play with their hands. The edge guys set, you know,

89
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: sometimes vertical edges.

90
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes they mix in some movement.

91
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: They don't get moved off the line of scrimmage, and

92
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: so if you don't move the line of scrimmage, it's

93
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: going to be hard to run the football.

94
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: Jane's later in the front.

95
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 9: Hey, coach, there's perception and reality when it comes to

96
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 9: the Super Bowl and the experience with a lot of

97
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 9: these young guys, and you reflect back on your first

98
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 9: time what is something that you wish you knew that

99
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 9: first time around, that you learned after all of those

100
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 9: visits the Super Bowl, that you've passed on to this team.

101
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: You know, I didn't really Again, every game is different,

102
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: and don't anticipate how it's going to go, whether it

103
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: comes down to the end of the game situation or

104
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 4: a kick or a two minute drill. Try not to

105
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 4: predict what those are going to be. Make sure that

106
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 4: each and every situation is covered and understand that each

107
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: of them is critical, whether that's a short yardage early

108
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: in the first quarter or that's a you know, a

109
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: red zone stop late in the game to give our chance,

110
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 4: our team a chance to win. So just understand, having

111
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: watched all these Super Bowls in the last few years

112
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: and the ones that I've been a part of, is

113
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 4: trying not to really predict how it's going to go,

114
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 4: and you'll have to see how the game's unfolding. But

115
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: understand each situation that we're going to be asked to execute.

116
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: We've been through you know since April.

117
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 7: Good morning, coach, thanks for joining us today. You didn't

118
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 7: have any overtime games this year. Coming into this year,

119
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 7: did you and your staff have any general viewpoint on

120
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 7: offense first, defense first, and did that, added Toude, that

121
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 7: philosophy change at all when you saw the overtime games

122
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 7: unfolded the regular season and in the playoffs.

123
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: I mean, we have conversations and you know, we'll continue

124
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: to talk about it. You know, whatever the philosophy ends

125
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 4: up being, the players have been explained what that is

126
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 4: or what that will be, and how we'll try to

127
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 4: attack it. And you know a lot of this that

128
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 4: depends on their you know, their kickoff return, where the

129
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 4: ball goes on touchbacks, the how good the field goal

130
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: kickers are. There's just a lot that goes into it.

131
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 4: So they'll understand. The overtime rules is, you know, it's

132
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 4: just like starting a new game. It's not sudden death.

133
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 4: There both teams will get an opportunity to possess the ball.

134
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 4: We'll get to the end of the first quarter and

135
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 4: if there's you know, thirty.

136
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: Seconds, it's not the end of the game.

137
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: We're just going to flip it over and go to

138
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 4: the second quarter. So we've explained all that and then

139
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: we'll just have to be ready if this game goes overtime.

140
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: Andrew Callahan backrow on the left.

141
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 10: Hey, Mike, we've talked a lot about how you support

142
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 10: a Remandra through the passing of his father back in

143
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 10: the spring. Just curious what you remember specifically about your

144
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 10: conversations with Tony Dues before he went out to Vegas

145
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 10: and what was the best course of action.

146
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: Then.

147
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: I think there's things that come up that you're not,

148
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: you know, really prepared for and have you know Romandre

149
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 4: have something that traumatic happened to him and his family

150
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 4: and him not know us as people was hard, and

151
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: to try to support somebody that he doesn't know where

152
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 4: we're coming from.

153
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't know Mike Grabley doesn't know Tony Dows.

154
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: Other than taking some faith that that we're looking out

155
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: for him as a person and we're looking out for him,

156
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 4: uh and his family and what's best and how they

157
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: handle it and try to do everything that we could

158
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 4: to get him in a place that he could come

159
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 4: and do his job and perform and do what and

160
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 4: glorify his dad.

161
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: And he's done that every single day.

162
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 4: I'm proud of him. I can't imagine what, you know,

163
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 4: how that felt and what that still feels like. And uh,

164
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 4: you know, we're lucky to have people like Tony Doues,

165
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: who care deeply about not only his position, but everybody

166
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: on this football team and coaches and staff, and you

167
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: know Tony just I.

168
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Mean, he would have gone the second that I told him.

169
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 4: It was just like, you know, give him a little

170
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 4: bit of time, just figure, you know, I mean, just

171
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: let's wait. And then finally it worked out for Tony

172
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: to go out there and be with Remondre and his family.

173
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: So obviously very appreciative of Tony.

174
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: Camera wolf back Row left.

175
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: Good morning, Mike.

176
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 11: You talked about Darrell yesterday and him being here. I'm

177
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 11: curious if you can maybe describe what impact he was

178
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 11: able to have on the team even through battling his

179
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 11: cancer and how Zach's maybe stepped up in a unique

180
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 11: situation as the play caller.

181
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: Well, we've always talked about the impact that teammates on

182
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: not only the defense but throughout the football team, and

183
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 4: his ability to connect and reach with every single player

184
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 4: in every single position, young players, veteran players. That's a

185
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 4: skill that's something that I can't necessarily teach or instruct

186
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 4: them on, and kind of just that's something that comes

187
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 4: very naturally to Terrell. So I would say that his

188
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 4: humility through all this has been something that I've really appreciated.

189
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 4: Never wanted to be a distraction, even if I told

190
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: him a million times that he wasn't, and even if

191
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 4: the players told them told him that he wasn't, his

192
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 4: humility was always about the team. He just kept saying,

193
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 4: I don't want to mess anything up.

194
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't want people to worry about me.

195
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 4: So I've always appreciated that, and I'm glad that he's

196
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 4: here with us. Zach has been fantastic. I think that

197
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 4: unlike much like players, when given opportunities, coaches sometimes have

198
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 4: the same thing and they give more opportunity. They take

199
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 4: advantage of it, and then you turn that into something else.

200
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 5: Began old lead in.

201
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 12: The front, right, Hey, Mike. Will shared a story with

202
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 12: us yesterday about one of the early times that you

203
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 12: guys met in Baton Rouge, and he said, he took

204
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 12: you for barbecue for a four hour meal. What do

205
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 12: you remember about that meal? And what kind of growth

206
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 12: have you seen from him in this rookie season.

207
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 4: Well, I think Will is a great teammate. I think

208
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: that again to each and every day he's he's grown,

209
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: He's improved as a person, as a player, and as

210
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: a teammate, he's comfortable in his own skin. He's around

211
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: a lot. The meal was, you know, excellent. You know

212
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: a lot of those local establishments take care of the

213
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 4: boys down there in Baton Rouge. So it was a

214
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: it was a big spread, a great meal, and I

215
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 4: hope to.

216
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: Go back there and hang out. And we had a

217
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: good time.

218
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 4: And he made it again I've said this before. It

219
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 4: was it was Will wanted to make it known that

220
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 4: he wanted to be here, and by that, by that visit,

221
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 4: not when he visited our place, but when we visited there,

222
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: it was clear that this was the place that he

223
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 4: wanted to be.

224
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: Taylor Kyle's back row left.

225
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: Oh hey, Tim.

226
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 13: So the Seahawks, a lot of their big players have

227
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 13: come from play action. Conversely, you guys have been one

228
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 13: of the best defenses against play action. What's made Seattle

229
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 13: so effective when they use their run fakes? And what's

230
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 13: made you guys so effective at stopping those kinds of plays?

231
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 4: All these human interest stories and then Taylor just goes

232
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 4: right into the nuts and bolts of it.

233
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I love it.

234
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: You know, you have to be able to transition if

235
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 4: you don't pressure, and you don't time up the pressure

236
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 4: with play action. Again, they're trying to get you know,

237
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: people blocking at the line of scrimmage. They're trying to

238
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 4: marry their run actions with this system, you know, which

239
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: as far back as I can remember, in this system,

240
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 4: and Clint's done a great job of marrying their run

241
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 4: actions each week, it's difficult to prepare for, you know.

242
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: So you get linebackers that are now coming up to

243
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, opening up passing lanes at the

244
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 4: second and third level and usually being finding ways to

245
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 4: protect a quarterback with with seven guys in there. So

246
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 4: big thing for us has always just been about transitioning

247
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: and making sure that you know, we're able to get back,

248
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 4: we're able to panic when we're not pressuring, and that

249
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: we're able to get into those throwing lanes, sow.

250
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 2: Palalaintino in the front right.

251
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 14: Mike, you said that the next forty eight hours are

252
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 14: so important, so critical. What do you remember about when

253
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 14: you were a player these forty eight hours that you

254
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 14: can convey to your football team, the advice that you

255
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 14: got or the approach that you got.

256
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: When you were a player. In these forty eight hours, I.

257
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: Mean, it seems like forever ago. Sal So, I don't

258
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: know if.

259
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 4: There is anything really specifically that I would take it.

260
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 4: It's a whirlwind. On the first Super Bowl we didn't

261
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 4: have the week off, I just felt like being in

262
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 4: this game with a week off, trying to be very

263
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 4: intentional with the schedule, what we were doing when we

264
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 4: were working and not just going eight days straight. I

265
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 4: felt like that was important, So trying to be intentional

266
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 4: with the schedule, but also just trying to keep them engaged,

267
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: keep them locked in, and get them to believe that

268
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 4: something that we do at practice today is going to

269
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 4: come up in the game and how we handle that

270
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 4: or how we execute that is could make the difference.

271
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 4: And so that's how we've tried to approach all our practices,

272
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 4: is that something that you're going to do today is

273
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: going to help us win.

274
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: I don't know which play it is.

275
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 4: I'm not sure which correction that it will be, but

276
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 4: there's going to be a play today that somebody's going

277
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 4: to make or not make that's going to make the

278
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 4: difference in the game.

279
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: On Sunday, back row.

280
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 15: Left, Mike, you have a roster's turned over over half

281
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 15: the players, a year ago, and of course you have holdovers,

282
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 15: you have draft picks, you have free agents. A lot

283
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 15: of times that takes multiple seasons to come together. To

284
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 15: what do you attribute the ability of your team to

285
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 15: come together so quickly in one season to be here.

286
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: I think getting the right people in the building. I

287
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: think havevin We were intentional about trying to make sure

288
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 4: that when the players return there was a program in

289
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 4: place that they could look at, that they could believe in,

290
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: that they wanted to be a part of, and that

291
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 4: they wanted to protect. That's what we've set out to

292
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 4: do much before the players were even into the building.

293
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: It felt like we were intentional with what we did

294
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 4: in the off season about building a team, bringing guys

295
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 4: together from from every background and every different experience.

296
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: And we I.

297
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 4: Didn't think that it was important to go out on

298
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 4: the field in mini camp. I felt like it was

299
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 4: more important, uh to spend that time, uh, you know,

300
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: getting to.

301
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: Know each other and you know.

302
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 4: Trying to build that before we went out and try

303
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 4: to run plays.

304
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: Mark Daniels middle Road right.

305
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 16: And Mike I Mark with with Drake May was there

306
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 16: a moment this offseason or or season that he realized.

307
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 11: He was special and had special abilities.

308
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I think I probably realized that before I

309
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 4: got here. I think that's, you know, it's a large

310
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 4: part of the reason that I wanted to be here.

311
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: You know, there were plays in training camp and things

312
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 4: that he did. Whether his I think the thing that

313
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: was the accuracy outside of the pocket or on the

314
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 4: move is you know, it is just the way that

315
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 4: he plays the position. It's just, you know, he has

316
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 4: an athletic nature to the way that he plays the position,

317
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 4: and so I think that's somewhat unique. I think that

318
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 4: everybody has a different skill set, and he's comfortable in

319
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 4: the pocket.

320
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: I think his ability to transfer.

321
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: Up into the pocket, to make moves, to make throws

322
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 4: off platform and at different angles that it's been impressive.

323
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: Second role left.

324
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 17: Hi Coach Jimmy English from Gaily Gridiron coach, this will.

325
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 17: You've led the Patriots to the first Super Bowl appearance

326
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 17: since twenty nineteen in your first year as hey coach,

327
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 17: and you're on track to become the first person to

328
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 17: win a Super Bowl with the same organization as a

329
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 17: player and a coach. What would have win on Sunday

330
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 17: mean to you personally and to the organization and to

331
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 17: the entire team.

332
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 4: Well, the organizations has set a standard, you know, the

333
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 4: Patriot Organization. Robert and Jonathan have set a standard for

334
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 4: this organization that this is what the expectation is, and

335
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: we understand that we embrace that. For me personally, again,

336
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 4: I've been through this. I want the players to experience

337
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: this with their families. I want them to experience this

338
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 4: with their kids. I want Morgan Moses to experience this

339
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 4: with his three boys. He's been such a great presence

340
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 4: on our football team, not talking about his play on

341
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: the field, which has been superb, but just his presence.

342
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: His demeanor is a wonderful father. The way that he

343
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: cares for his boys and does his job is something

344
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: that I appreciate. So I want them to experience that

345
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: and that feeling. I'll be excited watching them enjoy it.

346
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: We're gonna do two final questions and we'll take the

347
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: ones that have had their hands up the entire time,

348
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: So we'll go far right.

349
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 16: Mike Ryan Dunley by from The New York Post. You

350
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 16: mentioned Zach Korr for a sec What made him the

351
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 16: right choice when adversity hit to be the guy who

352
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 16: step up? You have a lot of great position coaches

353
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 16: on your staff, May Zach the right guy because I

354
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 16: don't think he had defensive play calling experience before other

355
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 16: than in college a long time ago.

356
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Zach's has just grown from the time that I

357
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 4: was with him at Ohio State and to the time

358
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 4: that stretch spent with him offensively, to us bringing him

359
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 4: in in Tennessee and watching him grow defensively and understand

360
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 4: the concepts that we're doing defensively, why we were doing them,

361
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 4: the suggestions that he made to try to enhance some

362
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: of those things continue to grow.

363
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: You know, I think he really can adjust quickly and

364
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: he has the ability to not get hung up.

365
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 4: I mean, we you know, we sub and we make

366
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 4: different calls, and I'm always you know, trying to watch

367
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 4: and make sure that we're coordinated in what we're doing.

368
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 4: And he's done that. He did a great job in

369
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: the offseason. He's a good teacher, good communicator, so you know,

370
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 4: he's really helped us.

371
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 2: Last question grow left.

372
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 6: When you're playing in the snow like you were last week,

373
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 6: do you attack certain patches of grass with the play

374
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 6: calling look where maybe things are a little bit more

375
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 6: like trodden on and trying to get some footing there.

376
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: No, I don't think we're good. We're just not that good.

377
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, hopefully you know, the kickers have

378
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 4: the ability to put the ball where they want it,

379
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 4: but I don't think we could be that specific.

380
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: It's a little too difficult to be able to do that.

381
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 4: I appreciate you guys covering our team, and I hope

382
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 4: you enjoys the fun.
