1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: UM, what we've thought on. You know, I had quite

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: a have a good opportunity to take a look at

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Miami here in over the last few days since we've

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, dealt with some roster moves and things like that. Um.

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's looking back over the last season, they

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: obviously made a lot of progress and proved their team,

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: and you know it took some more steps this year

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: UM to do that. Some of the players they've acquired. UM,

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: so they're young. Um, you know it's a talented team,

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: obviously well coached, disciplined. Um, they'll make a lot of mistakes, UM,

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: take advantage of opportunities. UM. So we're gonna have to

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: do a real good job of playing a good sound

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 1: football game and obviously coach and play a lot better

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: than we did down there in the second game. So

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: got a little head start on them on Monday. But

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, really this is the week that we're in now,

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: really game prepper weeks. So try to get the most

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: they can out of it, and I'll be ready to

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: go on Sunday. I'll bud sure you looking boys, it

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: is the fans that says the poll, see you had

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: a football that can be the first time fans were here. Yeah,

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: while they're here in preseason, Um, so I think we're

23
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, acclimated to the change. It's what we've all

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: been used to in most of our our career. So,

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: um but you know, always always good to get the

26
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: season started. Um. Steam's put in a lot of good

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: work in the offseason training camp and um no, it's

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: time to go. We could always use more time, but

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: it's time to go. So hopefully it'll be right. So

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: he've always said when it comes to the quarterbacks, the

31
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: two must important things are after seeing the situation, how

32
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: much that with a quarterback has just sort of an eight?

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: And how much weight can you coach? Teach it out? Well,

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: you try to, you know, always try to teach the

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: players everything you can to help them in whatever position

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: they play. So that's our job. That's what we'll continue

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: to do. You look at somebody like Matt, you know

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: it's coming out of it proceed that accuracy decision making,

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: that was one of his strengths. What have you seen

40
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: from him so far in those areas? Yeah, well, I

41
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: mean Mac has a lot of strengths, but we're looking

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: at a whole different level than what he was at

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: and so see how it goes in the NFL. Well,

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: I know they're a game playing defense, but at least

45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: last year, Miami seem very high pressure in terms of

46
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: preparing for the openers. That's something you'd feel like you

47
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: can expect. And how what goes into kind of preparing

48
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: for that as a quarterback who hasn't obviously seen that

49
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: defense or any defense is solved. Um, well, I mean

50
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: I think you know, since coach Floors has been down there,

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: they've they've pressured quite a bit on defense. So I've

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: played him four times and we've seen seem quite a

53
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: bit of you know, what they do. I wouldn't say

54
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: that they have shown a lot of drastic changes in preseason.

55
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: They made a few, you know, a few things that's

56
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: sayed a little bit different for him, but you know, overall,

57
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: it's still, um, pretty much what it is. They have

58
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: good corners and they don't mind you know, pressure in

59
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and letting those guys do their thing.

60
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: They've been pretty productive doing it. So I'm sure we'll

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: see both about Prime covered zero. Yeah, that's who we're

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: just talking about. So I'm sure we'll see it. Let's

63
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: see how it goes like challenges. Yeah, well they did

64
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: a good job against us last year. Um, you know,

65
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: they're they're well balanced offense. They like to run the ball,

66
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: that have a few different ways of doing it. Man

67
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: do a good job to spreading the ball around to

68
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: their receiver verse, tight ends, running backs, quarterbacks mobile. So

69
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: they they're pretty well balanced. And you know, coach Godsi's

70
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, a new play caller down there taking over

71
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: her coach Gaily, So we'll see what you know, all

72
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: that brings. But um, say, they're they're well balanced offense,

73
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, kind of attacking a lot of different fronts,

74
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: big receivers of Waddle, it's a big addition for him

75
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: of some other explosive players in the receiver unit. Jesseki

76
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: is a problem. Backs are actually have a good skill set.

77
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: So young offensive line. I think they'll just continue to

78
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: get better because they will let a youth on their offense.

79
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: I'm sure as they grow though, they'll continue to I

80
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: don't improve as a unit in the league. But we

81
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: got a lot of attention during the draft deep speed,

82
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: but from what do you remember watching him in Alabama season?

83
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: Lady who can be used a short area of immediate area. Yeah,

84
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: here's a rug, good skill set, it's fast, quick, hunt returner,

85
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: go to the ball in his hands, tough kid s,

86
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: good player spect any one of those guys who now

87
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: start a few more as if the receiver as opposed

88
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: to the tight end and will reflection a lot. I'm

89
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, yeah, I call him a big tight end. Captain.

90
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: Do you expected seat name today? What do you look

91
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: for in a captain whoever the players select? Over your

92
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: years here, what have you seen it coming round between

93
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: the captain the people that the players respect and want

94
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: to be their representatives in various situations. I mean, I

95
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: guess you'd have to ask the players who voted for

96
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: him exactly what they what their criteria was. But we've

97
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: been very fortunate. We had a lot of good leaders,

98
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: have a lot of good leaders on the team, and

99
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: captains are certainly a part of that. But there's a

100
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: lot of the leadership that comes on the team in

101
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: addition to whoever the captains are. So so that goes

102
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: so when you look at how Miami's dependent tight ends,

103
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: at least maybe just specifically last year, how do you

104
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: see quote for as designing that responsibility and coverage with

105
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: how having then covered thereat safety gone backers coverations, Well

106
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: they have and it really corners their playing safety. And

107
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: you know, there's pretty good size there, like Eric is

108
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: a you know, a bigger kid who's also played safety

109
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: as well as corners. So yeah, I think if they

110
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: play man a man, they'll either match up to him

111
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: or if they want to add coverage to them, then

112
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: that's probably something I'm sure they have in their their

113
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: defensive system to do it. But there's a player with

114
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: that kind of speed, And how challenging is that variety

115
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: of problems I guess that kind of EU that how

116
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: challenging is that? Yes, um, yeah, I mean it's a problem.

117
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: It's yeah, we have we have a fast player in there,

118
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: so it would be could be a tougher match up

119
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: if you didn't have a fast player as your inside player.

120
00:07:51,760 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: But so it goes. So, you've had a great deal

121
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: of success in your career against rookie quarterbacks. How can

122
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: you take the success that you've had the things that

123
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: you've been able to do against rookies too, a lot

124
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: of them some exem apply that to Mac and help

125
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: him be you a voice some of those rap balls,

126
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: some of the things that Brian and his staff might

127
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: trying to do. Yeah, well, we'll prepare our players the

128
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: best we can. But two is no rookie. He's he's

129
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: got a year of experience and so we've seen him,

130
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: we played against him, so we'll deal with him. I

131
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: have to ask coach Floors about Mac. I don't know.

132
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: We think will be Mac's greatest challenge on Sunday, but

133
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: everything that he has to hand them, yeah, I don't know,

134
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: we'll see. There's a lot of things that happened in

135
00:08:50,760 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: a football game, so so soon all plays out on

136
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: Sam kind of passing in your history curious thoughts passing organization. Yeah,

137
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: well Sam had a great college career and and uh

138
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: you know pro career here at New England. Yeah. I

139
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: never coached Sam and and um I only played against them,

140
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of times. He was in of

141
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: course AFC and we were in the NFC so with

142
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: the Giants, so it didn't really fortunately cross passed too

143
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: much with him. But yeah, they they fullback in a

144
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: two back era where at fullbacks now or a few

145
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: of them that there are primarily blockers, whereas in that day,

146
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: going back to Jim Brown and Jim Taylor and bunch

147
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: of other full backs. Those guys are ball carriers, Franco

148
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: Harris and Sam Was Was that so it could block,

149
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: it could run a great size Yeah, so that's say.

150
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: That's we lost two, two great Patriots here in the

151
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: last week. I appreciate you. Ask okay, thank you,
