1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Hey, Bill, thereby donna do well. I know, um you 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: said post game in the end Aaron Rodgers was was 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,319 Speaker 1: just too good. But um, your team on the road, 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: hostile environment. What uh what kind of positives did you 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: take away from that effort yesterday? Um, I mean competitive 6 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: enough to get the game and overtime just you know, 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: came up a little bit short. Um. You know I 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: have to do I have to do some things better 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: and in critical situations. And UM, so those are the 10 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: things that we're working on, continue to work on. We've 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: been working on. We've gotta gotta do them better. Bill, 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: when you look at the game afterwards kind of watching it, 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: you guys did a really good job for most of 14 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: the game against Aaron Rodgers in the passing game, Um, 15 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: and there were some runs that they were able to 16 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: get on the ground. Was the mindset going into that 17 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: game to kind of, you know, maybe give up a 18 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: few yards in the rush game because you wanted to 19 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: kind of play more of a coverage in the back end. No, 20 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: not really, it's I think you have to defend obviously everything. Um. 21 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: They're a very good team. Uh, they you know, they 22 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: do a good job in all all situations and you guys, 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: stop the running game. You got to stop the passing game. 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta play a good team defense. Um, 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: if you, you know, do one and not the other, 26 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: then they will you know, get you with the you 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: know what's whichever win you're light on. So No, the 28 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: idea was to try to you know, try to build 29 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: a good team defense and defend and defend the Packer offense. 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's hard. They're you know, they're a very 31 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: good offense. And then they have a great quarterback and 32 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, in the end, he you know, I need 33 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: some great throws that he made some great throws. Bill, 34 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: despite those great throws, you found yourself second and five 35 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: with the Packers forty six in overtime, needing just a 36 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: field goal to win the game. Why not go for 37 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: it on fourth down? Why not a little bit more 38 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: aggressive play calling in that spot when you know you're 39 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: pun to get back to a guy that you think 40 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: is the best in the game. Yeah, oh, man, to 41 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: you you don't convert there there one first down away 42 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: from from you know, field goal, And so I feel 43 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: very good about that. We've had him on a long 44 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: field before and some of all down on the tin 45 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: yard line. So unfortunately he you know, has a big 46 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: task there on second down and then um, you know 47 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: just kind of you know, did a good job on 48 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: some of the RPOs of and they converted i don't 49 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: know another the two other third downs and and uve 50 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: ball on the field goalne So obviously a bit of 51 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: a baptism by fire for Bailey's appy. Um, a little 52 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: bit about what you saw from him yesterday in his 53 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: first NFL action, any Bailey did a good job of, 54 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, stepping into into the situation. Um, we did 55 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: some good things. Some things too we need to improve on, 56 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: but that's true for all of us and certainly for 57 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: all young players. But um, you know, all things considered, 58 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: he stepped in showed he was ready to go and compete. Well, Bill, 59 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: when you look at uh, Marcus Jones, how important is 60 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: it that you know you can kind of build off 61 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: your return game being able to kind of do what 62 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: it did yesterday, giving you guys some great fail position 63 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: And obviously it's it's always about fail position battle, but 64 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: it looked like whether it was kickoff return or punt return, 65 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: he did a really good job of of really being 66 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: able to kind of the field position game for you. 67 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: How important is it to build off of that moving forward? 68 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: It's always good to have a threat of the explosive 69 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: returns and that that just sets up everything else UM 70 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: and and the different different ways you can return the ball. 71 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: UM so just puts the coverage, particularly punk coverage, under 72 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: a little bit more stress when they have to protect 73 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,559 Speaker 1: in and worry about coverage. Yeah, Mars has been working 74 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: hard on all aspects of the return game and UM 75 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: returning kickoffs last week against Baltimore, and then I took 76 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: on both this week, and you know, he thought he 77 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: did a good job. So yeah, we'll keep building on that. Bill. 78 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm only fifty five, and I think I would have 79 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: an issue sprinting down the sideline like that. Are you 80 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: do you need an ice pack this morning? Or everything? Everything? Okay, Yeah, 81 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm good. Bill. Can you kind of take us through 82 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: that situation a little bit. I saw the frustration after 83 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: the play with the the touchdown or non call touchdown, 84 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: and it seemed like you were yelling at the officials 85 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,679 Speaker 1: about them not resetting the play clock right away. What 86 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: was going on in that moment? Can you kind of 87 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: give us a little insight? You know, I'm not sure, 88 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: exactly what play you're talking about now? Um? Where you 89 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: were where I think you wanted them to stop the 90 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: the the game the play clock or the game clock. Um, 91 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: and you were kind of yelling at the officials where 92 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: you actually through your headsets? UM? Yeah. All again, any 93 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: any questions on the officiating really really need to go 94 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: to the officials out if I can't comment on us. So, Bill, 95 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: just curious the apparatus of the Brian Hoyer um status 96 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 1: is out for the game. Obviously, Tua's injury last Thursday 97 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: night has brought an increased attention into the league's handling 98 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: with concussions and concussion protocol. Is that someone from your 99 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: own staff that says, Bill, you know, Brian's out with 100 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: a concussion or is there the neurological doctor from the 101 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: NFL that is the one that passes along that information. Um, Well, 102 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: on the medical side of it, I'm I'm totally out 103 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: of all that, So I don't have anything to do 104 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: with that. All all we get is that we have 105 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: a you know, line of communication where the status of 106 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: the players is updated to UM, myself and the other 107 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: members of the coaching staff, and so that we follow 108 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: that process with every injury. UM, doesn't matter what it is. 109 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: The medical decision on what the player's status is is 110 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: just make by medical people, and as I said, our 111 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: line communication on that is it's really the same on 112 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: all injuries. The process behind the scene may be different. 113 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I'm not involved in that, 114 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: but the determination of the player's status is that that 115 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: process is always the same. Watching that to a situation unfold, 116 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: do you do you feel like in general the league 117 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: is doing enough when it comes to concussion protocol or 118 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: do you think there should be some changes? Yeah, again, 119 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: that's not really my my field of expertise. UM, that's 120 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: those are medical decisions. There are league people at the 121 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: game that are involved in that, so I think that's 122 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: really something you should I'll talk to them about personally. 123 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: Have anything to do with that. One though not qualified 124 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: to talk about different injuries and different classifications and what 125 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: what shorter should have happen. That would be for the 126 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: professional medical people, you know, I just I didn't. I 127 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: just from a head coaching position, I don't know if uh, 128 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: if you if you've ever intervened, if you see a 129 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: player who you can you may be obviously able to 130 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: say hey, that that that doesn't look right, that the 131 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: way that player is reacting, it looks like that that 132 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: player may have a concussion. Um, definitely, No, I've definitely 133 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: done that before. That's oh yeah. If I see a 134 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: player that I think is not not functioning properly, um 135 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: and for some reason it hasn't been identified, and absolutely 136 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: I would and yeah I have done that. Um, I 137 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: would say, not not recently, that's the that's of things 138 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: that has happened, you know, at other points in my career. Um. 139 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: But yeah, absolutely, player doesn't look like he's functioning properly, 140 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: and and we evaluate him with the medical people. But um, 141 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: you know, we also as as a secondary check even 142 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: but even after even if the medical people were a 143 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: clear a player, we still go through a coaching clearance 144 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: to make sure that he's trying to play football, not 145 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: just medical medically cleared. So we we always have a 146 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: secondary you know, evaluation or that. But when you look 147 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: at Bailey and what he was able to do, you know, 148 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm guessing he probably throughout the week, you know, doesn't 149 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: get many snaps, but he came in, he did a 150 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: good job, and I know I saw you talking to 151 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: him on the sidelines a little bit. How important is 152 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: the message to you to get across to him, like, hey, 153 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: when you get an opportunity to throw the football, if 154 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: there's nothing, damn, maybe you know, let's try to just 155 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: eat it and put ourselves in a position where we 156 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: can fight to play another down rather than you know, 157 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: forcing balls into areas that might be a little bit 158 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: difficult to do well. Quarterback mechanics and operation and decision 159 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: making or things that we we talked about from day one. 160 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: A minute he walks into the building, that's part of 161 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: the position. Um, they're part of the teaching at that position. 162 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: So that that's that's always been, you know, a top 163 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: priority for the quarterbacks, no matter what um position they 164 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: held on the roster. That's the positions that play and 165 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: how to play it. So um yeah, that's we talked 166 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: about that relentlessly. It's a major part of their job. 167 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: Besides you know the huddle, of the operation, hand of 168 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: the balls and all that in the testing game. That's 169 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: that's what it's about, is there's a quarterback's understanding the 170 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: playing decision making based on a variety of factors that 171 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: could happen on any individual plays. So yeah, that's well, 172 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: we'll always talk about that. Um, that's that's a key 173 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: part of that position. Bill, Isaiah Winn struggled yesterday, got 174 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: replaced by Marcus Cannon for a bit, and then when 175 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: Johnny went down, Marcus spelled Johnny on that side of 176 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: the ball. What did you see from Isaiah that led 177 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: to you replacing with Marcus Cannon in that game with yesterday? Yeah, 178 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: well Marcus was active for the game. We planned on 179 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: playing him anyway. UM, so we did get the Lions 180 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: and Dan Campbell on Sunday? Any chance you ever let 181 00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: hard knocks to a Patriot season? Bill? Right now, we're 182 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: not really it's not really a big focus for us. 183 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: Let's try to get our team ready to go against UM. 184 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: I guess Detroitan having a week of practicing in our preparation. Well, 185 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: the one thing you guys did really well was you're 186 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: able to run the ball effectively. Again, is that something 187 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: going into every game? Where I think, you know, it 188 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: seems like just from an outsiders perspective, is that that's 189 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: what you want to do. First. You want to be 190 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: able to run, run, and then kind of let the 191 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: passing game come after you established the run. Is that 192 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: the mindset of Matt Patricia and you and Joe Judge 193 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: as far as the offensive guys, No, No, it would 194 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: depend on the situation and the team we were playing 195 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: and how we matched up and what they did. So 196 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: I think the way this game started out and what 197 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: Green Day was trying to do defensively, and then how 198 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: it evolved through the course of the game was you 199 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: know it was different, Um, same thing last week the 200 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: Baltimore let started out when it finished, weren't weren't the same, um, 201 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: even the Pittsburgh game. So you know, you just have 202 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: to you have to be ready to adjust them defensively. 203 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: You go into the game maybe with an idea of 204 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: how you think you're going to get played or what 205 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: your opponent's going to do defensively. Um, you may or 206 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: may not get that. As you know, you know, you 207 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: can't can't count on what they're gonna do. Um, they 208 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: might do what you think they're going to do, or 209 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: they might do something that's it's different, and whatever the 210 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: reasons are, you that the you know, find out for 211 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: them from them why they made the decisions that they 212 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: did strategically, But you know that that certainly has a 213 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: lot to do with it um as well, so we 214 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: have good docks. We'd like to see them run the ball. 215 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: We'd like to be peruptive and running game both, just 216 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: to run it, to say you've run it, and not 217 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: keep producted with it. I don't I don't think that's 218 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: a particularly good idea. All right, Bill, we'll let you 219 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: get to work. Thanks for taking the time this morning. 220 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next Monday. All right, sounds good. 221 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: All right. Thanks, you appreciate it.
