1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Good morning, Bill Belichick. Hey Greg, how you doing? I'm doing, Burtney,

00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: how's it going? What about Wiggy? He said? Wiggy? Oh

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: wait you say Wiggy? Okay, all right, Bill, before we

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: get to football. I don't I don't know if you

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: if you saw this or not, but Edelman is impersonating

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: you again. He did it this time on Inside the NFL.

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: Uh the other night. What have you seen his impression

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: of you? And what grade would you give it? Yeah? No,

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: I missed it. I mean, is there anybody who does

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: a good Bill impression? I mean with me, it's my kids.

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: I mean, so is there anybody who does a good

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick impression? Oh? No, I could certainly do one

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: of him too, So oh I would. I'd like to

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: hear that You're not gonna do it. Yeah, he's got

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: his own little antics. All right, say that for another day.

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: All right? All right? Well, um you're you are now

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: twenty two and six. When it comes to facing rookie quarterbacks, Bill,

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you what makes your defense so

19
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: difficult when it comes to these rookie quarterbacks? Yeah? I

20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, our um our players did a

21
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: good job yesterday. We you know did a did a

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: good job of um, you know, covering, playing the ball,

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: reading the quarterback. We got some pressure, um, so you know,

24
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: but our defense played well and and anytime you can

25
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: come up with the ball, uh you know, four times

26
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: like that on on turnovers, that's you know, it's a

27
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: great thing for a football team. So, um, you know,

28
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: some really really good plays there. JC on the first

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: interception on the tip and um a p on the

30
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: the awareness on it. Um you know, on the on

31
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: the boot path pass that kind of look always a

32
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: little overthrown there on the on the over route and

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: you know he saw the all made great play on it,

34
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: and you know, Devin and m Jasey you know, took

35
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: advantage of a couple of opportunities and excet overall, I

36
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: thought we had decent pressure on the quarterback. So you know, ultimately,

37
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, good team defense. Bill. Last week we talked

38
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: about red zone and uh this week, defensively, you guys

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: did a good job in the red zone. Offensively, the

40
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: struggles continued a little bit. What do you think some

41
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: of the things that might be leading to some of

42
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: the red zone struggles. Yeah, well, as you know, uh,

43
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: you know, down there there's there's really a you know,

44
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: just a premium on good execution. So you know, offensively,

45
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of space to work in,

46
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: and you know, the running games is tough because they

47
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: have you know, extra guys down there. The safeties are

48
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: close to mine. Of scrimming into the passing game, nickins,

49
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: it's a level of high execution defensively, the same thing

50
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: in every yards important because they aren't very many of them,

51
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: and you know, you gotta gotta really be on the

52
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: receivers closely because more throws and the quarterbacks are very accurate,

53
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: and so everything just happens faster and gets doune in

54
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: a much tighter space. So we'll keep working on I

55
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: thought we made some some progress, but still definitely have

56
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: a you have some work to do and let's keep

57
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: grind through it. Every week. Bill, a lot of people

58
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: talking about Mac Jones helping that pile get into the

59
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: end zone. For Damian Harris, also his kind of only

60
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you would call it a block,

61
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: but somewhat on those lines. Uh, some people saying don't

62
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: do that, some people crediting him as a coach. How

63
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: do you make sure that your quarterback balance is protecting

64
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: himself while also trying to help out the team. Yeah,

65
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: well again, mini ball is a game of decision making,

66
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: and um, you know, we have a lot of competitive

67
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: players and they're all trying to do things to help

68
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: the team win. So Andrew just have to make good

69
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: decisions on on those situations. But being out in front

70
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: of reverse, that's that's kind of part of the play.

71
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: And I don't know how much help Damian needed on

72
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: the run, but um, I got a max competitive guy,

73
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, I love to see him

74
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: see his competitive spirit come out. You know, thinks saw

75
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: the same thing from Wilson on the interception on Devin's interception, So, um,

76
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: you know the guys that you know, I like to

77
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: play football, and as long as the play is going

78
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: on there, it seems like they're part of it. So

79
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: that's really probably a good thing. Bill. An area about

80
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: you guys played really well and you talked about it

81
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: was the effect of winning the turnover battle. You always

82
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: talked about that's, you know, one of the most important

83
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: things in the game. Sorry yesterday from your defense creating

84
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: turnovers and a lot on tip balls. Kind of explain

85
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: to people how much time goes into that in practice

86
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: and drills that you work on. So now when you

87
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: get in these situations in a game, you're able to

88
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: just go out there and execute. Yeah, well you don't really.

89
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Any time a defender can get his hands on the ball,

90
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: it's a potential turnover situation. So whether that's punching it

91
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: out from a runner or or deflecting a pass or

92
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: breaking up a pass at the reception point. Um, any

93
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: time a defender touches the ball, it's that's a bad

94
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: thing for the offense. So either you've got to really

95
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: take good care of it or you've got to you know,

96
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: not let them touch it too many times, or bad

97
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: things are going to happen. So um, Yeah, as you said,

98
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: that's a that's an emphasis point in practice is something

99
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: that you know each player is trying to do and

100
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: when you're you have to have just that awareness of

101
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: doing your job, which might be making the tackle, um,

102
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: but also combining that with having a ball awareness of

103
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, if you can make the tackle and punch

104
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: the ball out, or if you make the tackle and

105
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: then maybe the second or third guy that's coming in

106
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: can can get the ball out, then those are good

107
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: fumble opportunities for the defense and big ball security situations.

108
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: So the offense um, but certainly no turnovers was a

109
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: big key for us winning yesterday and hopefully we can

110
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,559
Speaker 1: continue to do that. Nick Folks setting a franchise record

111
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: yesterday for you guys, for fans or anybody really that

112
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: has never been on the sidelines of a football game.

113
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: How impressive is that that he's been able to to

114
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: make that many consecutive field goals? Yeah, Nicks, Um, you know,

115
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: he's really been consistent and he's certainly kicked made a

116
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: lot of big kicks for us in that stadium. Um,

117
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: yesterday was a was a tough day to kick. It's

118
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: probably the most wind that I've I've seen in the

119
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: UH in that stadium, and you know, it's it's very

120
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: when when I used to coach and played in Giants Stadium,

121
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: it was always windy. It was a much lower stadium

122
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: and the wind really really blew coming down the UM,

123
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, the meadowlands area, and and I'm sure the

124
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: wind is still there, but you just don't feel as

125
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: much in the stadium now and today Yesterday was a

126
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: little bit different because it it really kind of bounced

127
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: around off the stadium and it was a swirling wind

128
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: and they were I was standing there listening to the

129
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: national anthem, you know, with cam Our Special team's coach,

130
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: and the flags were blown pretty strongly one way at

131
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: the start of the anthem, and then they died and

132
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: they were practically still, and then as soon as the

133
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: anthem was over, they started blowing the other way as

134
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: the guys who were you know, walking off the field.

135
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: So that kind of gives you an idea of how

136
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: quickly the wind was shifting and swirling down there. And UM.

137
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: So all that to say, you know, kaking conditions which

138
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: are normally pretty good at that stadium. Um, we're tough.

139
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: Um that. You know, Nick really really drove him through

140
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: UM and made a lot of big kicks for US,

141
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: so which he's done in the past, and he did

142
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: of course last year down there in the Monday night

143
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: game for the winning winning points. So he's been really

144
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: amer consistent for US. Well, where where do you stand

145
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: on some of these taunting calls? I think I think

146
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: it was Mike Edwards yesterday It looked like he was

147
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: basically called for running backwards in the end zone. Is

148
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: are you stand in favor of that. I understand, it's

149
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: the rule, it's the way. It's good, you know, saying it,

150
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: But what is some of it ridiculous? I'm not sure

151
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: a player you're talking about. It was. It was the

152
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: interception in the Tampa Bay Atlantic game. The guy inaccepted

153
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: and then as he's running in the end zone he

154
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: kind of turning around basically, I mean, it wasn't like, yeah,

155
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't say I didn't say the play,

156
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: so I can't really comment on the play. But in general,

157
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think there's really ah in general,

158
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a place or tawning in the game.

159
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: I think that's poor sportsmanship, and it leads to other things.

160
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: It leads to retaliation, and and then you know, where

161
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: do you where do you draw the line? And so

162
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 1: I think the whole idea of the role is to

163
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: kind of nip it in the bud and not let

164
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: it get started. And I'm in favor of that. I

165
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: think that, you know, we should go out there and

166
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: compete and and and try to play good football and

167
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: win a game on the field. I don't I don't

168
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: think it's about tawning and poor sportsmanship. That's not really

169
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: my idea. What what good football is Bill? When you

170
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: talk about ball security the most, the position on the

171
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: field that has to be probably the smartest that that

172
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: is the quarterback position. How do you how do you

173
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: get mac Jones to balance being smart with the football

174
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: but then at maybe times in the game maybe being

175
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more aggressive and taking some shots down field.

176
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: Is there a tough balance that you have to coach

177
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: him as a quarterback to be able to do both

178
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: of those but doing them and with a smart I'm

179
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: kind of trying to draw a question here, but a

180
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: smart idea of knowing that, hey, you can force the ball,

181
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: but don't force it into a bad situation. Right, Well,

182
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: that's um, you know, as you know that that's really

183
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: the kind of the key to you know, really that

184
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: part of that position as the quarterback is making those

185
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: decisions of what what can I get it into and

186
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: what can I get it into? And but you know,

187
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: just in general, it doesn't really matter what position you play.

188
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: If you touch the ball, then then you're a critical

189
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,119
Speaker 1: part of the play from the center to the quarterback,

190
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: to the exchange or the running back, to the receivers,

191
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: to the snapper to the holder or the punter, the

192
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: punt returner um defensively, if we get possession of the ball,

193
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: taken care of it after we get it so we

194
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: don't give it back. So all those situations are critical

195
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: and we've all seen them, you know, be game changing

196
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: plays one way or the other. So wall security is

197
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: important for everybody that touches it. And that's as simple

198
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: as that. So if you if you have it, if

199
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: you don't take good care of it, then it's probably

200
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: you're not going to get it too many times. Maybe

201
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: we just can't afford to. We just can't afford to

202
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: give the ball away. So for the quarterback, that's all

203
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: about decision making. That's that's the position, you know, that's

204
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,599
Speaker 1: what you sign up for when you play quarterback is

205
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: to make decisions and that involves the rush and the

206
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: coverage and what throws you can make based on your

207
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: skill and in the way the defense presents itself on

208
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: that particular play, which everyone's a little bit different, and

209
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: then which ones you can't. So that's that's the position.

210
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: It's it's decision making, its accuracy, and without that, it's

211
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: it's hard to play the quarterback. Bill. I know last

212
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: night you said you were going to enjoy this one

213
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: for a little bit, but then turn the page. So

214
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: when turning that page, how hard is it to prepare

215
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: against a coach like Sean Payton. Yeah, the Saints are

216
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: one of the you know, one of the toughest teams

217
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: in the league to prepare for. They do an awful

218
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: lot um. You know, they're very good in the kicking game.

219
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: They've been one of the top special teams units the

220
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: last three years. And and um, then they're tough. They

221
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: they do everything well and they have a lot of

222
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: scheme to deal with. Plus you know, very explosive returner. UM.

223
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: And you know, defensively, Dennis Allen also does a does

224
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: a great job. He's very multiple, and they have a

225
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: lot of good players and um, they're tough to they're

226
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: tough to deal with. UM. And offensively, you know, Sean

227
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 1: does a does a great job of attacking defenses and

228
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, putting pressure on on on various various points

229
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: of your your defensive scheme depending on what you do.

230
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: And they're very multiple. They have a huge volume of

231
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: of calls and plays and um, you don't really know

232
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: what you're going to get because you know you've seen

233
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: so much then, and like I said, the playbook is

234
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: so expansive that you know you have to if you

235
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: if you cut it down too small to deal with everything,

236
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: then then he's kind of got to where you want

237
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: you want it. And if you have too much in there,

238
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: then you know, they do a lot and it's hard

239
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: to hard to match things up. And there's you know,

240
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: some bad situations you can put yourself in if you

241
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, get over extended somewhere. And there's skill players

242
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: between the quarterback, they running back, multiple tight ends or

243
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: big receivers, whatever you want to call them. And then

244
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: you know some some fast, skilled players and then the

245
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: whole hill package with the quarterback. They do they did

246
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: more than any team in the league. They're very, very

247
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: difficult to prepare for in all three phases. So there's

248
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: no there's no real playoff in the game. You better

249
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: better radical on everything or or they'll know you. Bill

250
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: tom Brady said this week that you can see himself

251
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: playing till he's fifty. Um, can you see a guy

252
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: playing that position at that age in the NFL? UM

253
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: You have sure Tom a no better than anybody, So

254
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: anybody could do, it's probably him. Bill One of the

255
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: things that we've kind of given mac Jones a lot

256
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: of credit for is his composure in the game, being real, cerebral,

257
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: never getting too high, never getting too low. Was that

258
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: something you noticed from him in college right away when

259
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: you drafted this guy. Was that something that you looked

260
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: at and said, Hey, this is what makes him a

261
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: good quarterback and why we feel like he could play

262
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: at this level because of that cerebral mentality. Well, yeah,

263
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: Max a smart player and and you know, he was

264
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: a good decision maker in college. And I know, as

265
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: I said, the keys of that position are you know,

266
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: accuracy and decision making. So you know he did a

267
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: good job of that. But colleges college and as you know,

268
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: a whole different level of coverages and athletes and and uh,

269
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, there's just not a lot of margin for

270
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: air and in the National Football League with the guys

271
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: that you know, we're playing against every week. So UM,

272
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: and I think we've seen that with a lot of

273
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks through many, many years that um success in in

274
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: college doesn't necessarily translate to success in the NFL. And

275
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: so there's definitely a growth and a process, and you know,

276
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: you see players improve, Um, you know over their first

277
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: two three years in the league. UM, you know, we

278
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: saw with Josh allen Off, we saw it. It's like

279
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: from what little I've seen, you know, Herbert and San Diego. Um,

280
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: you know, we saw it with Tom here. We see

281
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: a lot of guys and so that you know that

282
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: and then some guys it kind of doesn't happen for

283
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: and then somebody else comes along. So you know, it's

284
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot to learn. There's a lot to that position.

285
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: And and really it's to me not so much about

286
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: what he did or didn't do in the past. UM,

287
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: it's really about the growth and development of any young

288
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: player UM as they get into national football, because the

289
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: challenges are just a lot different than they are in college.

290
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: And and certainly they're playing against you know, way better

291
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: players at every position every week, every snap than you

292
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: know what, what's some of those guys in college face.

293
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: So it is what it is. But this is a

294
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: high level and consistency is it's really a key to

295
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, being a good NFL players going out there

296
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: and doing it down after down a week after week.

297
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: And a lot of players have talent to flash here

298
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: and there, but the good ones good to one, show

299
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: up and do it on a very very consistent basis.

300
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: James White seems to be really clicking with Mac Jones.

301
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: Have you been able to see that throughout practice? What's

302
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: been the key to their relationship both in games and

303
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: during practice? Well, I think every quarterback that plays Jameson

304
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: White loves playing with James White. Um. You know, he's

305
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: he's a talented player that's very consistent and makes good

306
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: decisions to help the quarterback. You know, he's the type

307
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: of back that knows what to do, does the right thing,

308
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: and the quarterback has a lot of confidence in him,

309
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: kind of like Kevin Falke used to do for us,

310
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, whenever there was a decision to make. Troy

311
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: Brown is another player like that, when when there was

312
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: something that happened, maybe not quite the way you drew

313
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: it up, or the defender didn't play it quite the

314
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: way you think he was going to play it. But

315
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: those those are the kind of players that just always

316
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: did the right thing, They made the right adjustment, they

317
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: they recognized it and kind of fought like a quarterback. Um.

318
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: You know, Branch was another player like that as a receiver,

319
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: and sometimes you just gotta understand, you know what the

320
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: quarterback needs or what he's looking for and make a

321
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: decision and make it decisively and then deliver it to him. Um.

322
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: And so guys like James White and some of the

323
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: other ones I mentioned outstanding of that, and it's part

324
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: of what makes them such good players and such important

325
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: players for a quarterback, as they're really you know, not

326
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: only make plays with the ball in their hands, which

327
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: James is very good at, but all the decisions. And

328
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: we see that in the running game, but in the

329
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: passing game he's he's just very good at, like I said,

330
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: always doing the right thing, and each time it's a

331
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: little bit different. But for the quarterback, you really want

332
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: to when you go to get the because that's usually

333
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: your last option. When you go to the running back.

334
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 1: You're not gonna go to the run back and then

335
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: try to go downfield and find somebody else. So when

336
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: you go to the run day at your last option,

337
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: and and he's got to be, you know, a dependable

338
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: player that does the right thing, and then the quarterbacks

339
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: will keep coming to him. Though I think every quarterback

340
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: it would love playing. All right, Bill, Well, you know

341
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you get to work before you go, though,

342
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: I did want to ask. We have Ty Law on

343
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: this show every Tuesday, and he told us this week

344
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: how he got his nickname from mister Craft. I don't

345
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: know if you're aware of this or not, but it

346
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: would be great if you could confirm or deny it,

347
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: because it sounded like a stretch to me. But I'm

348
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: gonna leave that one to Tie and Robert. I'll just uh,

349
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, just take a coaching on that one. But yeah, yeah,

350
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: Ties one of the one of the real instinctive players

351
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: that's that's ever played this game. And um boy, he

352
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: made a lot of great plays for us. But you know,

353
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: when talking about defensive backs and instincts, he's he's a

354
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: guy that no quarterback wanted to throw against because they

355
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: just you know, didn't want to gamble on him. And well,

356
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: he made a lot of them pay. And one of

357
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: the most physical corners that I've coached to. One thing

358
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: about Tie that I really respect this his his ability

359
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: to force the run and tackle. You know, he was

360
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: a physical corner, not just in a passing game, but

361
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: tackled well and forced to run well. But you just

362
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: you love to have that with a with a corner,

363
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, those guys that do it at his level

364
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: or are usually playing safety, um, you know, which is

365
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: where he ended up playing later on his career. But man,

366
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: you didn't have to worry about the running game out

367
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: there with him. So yeah, we'll give him my best then,

368
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I'll let him. Yeah, I'll let him handle

369
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: those nickname nickname story. Let's stay out of that one

370
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: sounded sounded like hyperbole to me. I imagine, I just

371
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: I feel like he was stretching the truth. I just

372
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: wanted to confirm or deny it. That's all. No confirmation

373
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: or all coming from me. I'm out of this one. Bill,

374
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: Come on, I mean, I mean, what have you have

375
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: a good story? I can ask him between the two

376
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: of you. Yeah, no, I mean, look, ty and I

377
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: had a good relationship. I go all back to when

378
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: I was with him in nineteen ninety six. So when

379
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: I coached the second Derek, you know, Tye and Lawyer

380
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: and you know Jimmy Hitchcock and Otis and Willie Clay

381
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: and those guys, and that was a great group to coach.

382
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed them, and um really got to know

383
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: Tie on a on a you know, much more intimate level.

384
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: As as his position coach, Um, you know, can being

385
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: compared to me and head coach. You know, when you're

386
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: with a guy for you know, several hours a day

387
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: and meetings and on a practice field and it's one

388
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: of the guys you're coaching, it's just you know, it's different.

389
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: As I said, you know, I already made my comments

390
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: about Tie, but that's you know, he was. He was

391
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: great to coach and it was um you know again

392
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: very instinctive players, had a lot of confidence and really

393
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: was it was a good all around football player. He

394
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: couldn't just cover. He could play man's own or forced

395
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: the run, tackle um and and was tough with the

396
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: ball in his hands when he when he turned it over.

397
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: So and he was great on pun returns too. And

398
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: you talked to Troy Brown about on the big pun

399
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: returns that Troy had a big reason for those was

400
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: because one of the gunners was was getting wiped out. Um.

401
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: And so that's how how they all get started. So, yeah,

402
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: tis one of my favorite players and one of the

403
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: players that I really really respect. He had had a

404
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: little bit of his own way of doing things, but

405
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: that was okay because he knew how to you know,

406
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: he knew how to deliver and and he was confident

407
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: in doing it the way that he did it. And

408
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: you know, as long as the player's PRODUCTO, then you

409
00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: know you could not latitude. And yeah, he was. He

410
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: was great. And he's a tough guy, a tough guy

411
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: to deal with out there on the corner. All Right, Bill,

412
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: we'll have a great week and we will talk to
