1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Get out the practice and see Jamie out there, and 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: just says the teammates, that's your reaction when we see 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: him back practice, Well, he acts like he's superhuman. So 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: him not practicing, I've been getting on them more about 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: that than anything. So um, I just said to him today, 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: I mean, finally good to see back at practice. You know, 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: three week vacations, so he should should have fresh legs 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: out there. Let's see, let's face challenge of this offense 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Obviously, it's got a lot better the last 10 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: few years. How would you see them? You see him 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: as much as anybody. How is his development trap? Um? 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 1: I mean I think I think any young player that 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: comes in the league, I think, well any player to 14 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: that that we try to tear him apart with everything 15 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: they don't they don't do well. Um. But I think 16 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: it was obvious when Josh Allen came in the league 17 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: how talented he was and uh, the different things that 18 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: he does well on the field. And I think he's 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: done that at a high level right now. And obviously 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: he's gotten better and better each year, which to me 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: is what happens in this league. That's what you want 22 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: for every player. Obviously, it's a lot of pressure when 23 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: you come in and you start right away as a quarterback. 24 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: But um, I think with him it's the decision making 25 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: is at an all time high, and I think now 26 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: it allows him to just be out there free with 27 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: all things. He does well to different times they come 28 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: out in a certain situations they go with a quarterback run. 29 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: Now you got Now you gotta tackle him. The times 30 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: they don't call it, but you know, you don't contain 31 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: the quarterback and it gets outside of the pocket. Is 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: he gonna launch his sixty five yards or is he 33 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: gonna keep it? That's a problem. Um, it's a problem. 34 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: When he catches the ball, he throws three steps to 35 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: Digs Beasley, Sanders knocks Davis Singletary Breeda. I mean, the 36 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: offense obviously starts with him, but because of the weapons 37 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: they have, I think it makes it so much harder 38 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: to defend them. You know, you can't you can't just 39 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: take Digs away and think that. You know, the game's 40 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: kind of solidified less double digs, and you know there's 41 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: nothing else to worry about. Because Emaiel Sanders has been 42 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: in the league twelve years, He's been good everywhere. He's 43 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: been Knox is a fast tight end that can run 44 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: away from you, and Beaz is one of the best 45 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: slot players in the league. So they just have so 46 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: many weapons. And I think Josh Allen knows that he 47 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: knows how to get them the ball. He knows when 48 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: to get on the ball, and I think him and 49 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: DABEI understand how they want to play offensively kind of 50 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: week to week, and I think you see that in 51 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: some of these games where they really just take off 52 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: and it's like each possession it's something new that they're doing. 53 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: It's another kind of play that you haven't seen, and 54 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: they just take advantage. And you know, I think we 55 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: just can't we can't let them get rolling because once 56 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: they get rolling, it's tough because you're getting a little 57 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: bit of everything from the offense. So it's gonna be 58 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: the toughest challenge of the season. You know, they there, 59 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: It's a reason you know they won the division last year, 60 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: only lost three games, and they're still back in the 61 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: same kind of hunt at the top of the AFC. 62 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: So we got to play one of our best games 63 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: to have a chance out there Monday night. Since you've 64 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: been covering, since you've been covering them since you've been playing. 65 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: Is not the best fight that they've had for Is 66 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: it just a product of that you mentioned the other 67 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 1: guys that they're also No, I mean trying to think now, 68 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: but yeah, yes, I mean I think obviously the offensive 69 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: coordinate is how the offense runs a little different. You know. 70 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: I thought Chandler was really effective years ago when he 71 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: was there. Um, and I think Knox is the same 72 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: thing as like seven or eight touchdowns, so a red 73 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: area target to make plays. And I think the biggest 74 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: thing with Knox is he can still go like he 75 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: can you know, he's not one of those guys that 76 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: you know, once we get inside the fifteen yard line, 77 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: we're like, all right, we gotta be aware of like, 78 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: at any given momentum, he can hurt you. You know 79 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: they do. They throw the ball down the field to 80 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: him and seem routes or double moves seven routes. He 81 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: called a big seven route here twenty eighteen or nineteen 82 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: here a night game that was a big playing in 83 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: the game. Um. So uh yeah, he's a really good player, 84 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, aside from all the other weapons. He's won 85 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: album and I think it's a credit to him I 86 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: don't think he's playing well because those other guys. I 87 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: think he's kind of play well since he's coming to 88 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: the league, honestly, Um and I think that's he's been 89 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: the reason that the offense has gotten better having that 90 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: tight end target. What have you seen him from the 91 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: way that Bills has kind of fitted, you know, to 92 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: go through campus someone in the preseason, but as you 93 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: guys are changing week week, he's a new system of 94 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: both EVET as he kind of fitted. Yeah, I think 95 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: it's exactly what you just said. He's a VET. He 96 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: understands football, understands what we want to do as a 97 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: high football iq Um obviously has experienced playing corner, playing safety, 98 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: playing inside corner, So Um, I think you put all 99 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: that together. I think he's been very productive for us 100 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: and what we want to do schematically of him being 101 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: able to plug in different things, him having awareness for 102 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: certain plays and what the offense wants to do and 103 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: how they want to attack us. I think he's he's 104 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: really helped us out in that department of adding a 105 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: guy that's very knowledgeable of what's going on and just 106 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: has great versatility. So m we count on him. We 107 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: kind of want to play well. Um. I mean all 108 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: those guys at corner. You know, in this league, you 109 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: won't win many games if you don't play well at 110 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: the corner position. So UM, I think he's done a 111 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: great job of justum coming in and being himself. I 112 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: remember I told him that whether it was March or 113 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: April when he signed, you know, and we were texting, 114 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: I was just like, man, be yourself, Like, that's that's 115 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: what it's about here. That's how you play your best football. 116 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: And that's what he's done. Um, And it's been fun 117 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: to watch. You know, he's a he's a very high 118 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: energy guy. Um all the time. So it's a lot 119 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: of fun. We have a lot of laughing jokes. A 120 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: defining game the division if you guys are both in 121 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: the playoff pictures, regardless of if he's together, do you 122 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: see that similar league for Monday. We want to play well, 123 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: but I don't think it's like it's not gonna be 124 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: the end of the season if we win or lose. 125 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: So I don't know. And if we win, I don't 126 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: think we wrap up the division on the conference, So 127 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a big game though. Do you 128 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: think about the division obviously that's one of your guys. 129 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: As a team, you try to you have different things 130 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: you want to accomplish. It's always going to happen the 131 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: T shirt. They swept you guys last season, and you 132 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: know they wanted to. Do you think about that? Is 133 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: that a motivating thing or is it just kind of 134 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: something like, Hey, we're just gonna worry about one game. 135 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: Well now I'm thinking about it. You just sorry? No, 136 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it has no bearing on Monday night. 137 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: You know, like if somebody else would have won the 138 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: division last year and we were both you know, same record, 139 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: coming like we're still we're gonna be ready to go. 140 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: Their fans are gonna make it tough there, it's gonna 141 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: be hostile. I don't honestly, I really don't think it 142 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: has a bearing on the game. I think both teams understand, um, 143 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: what's at stake and all of the other hooplah around 144 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: the game. Um, but I think both teams ain't coming 145 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: here ready to go. I think even we're gonna get 146 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: their best shot, they're gonna get our best shot, um, 147 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a battle. And I think, you know, 148 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: I don't think last year really has any impact on that. Um. 149 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: Other than you know, watching the film, they have a 150 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: their team is pretty pretty similar to what they had 151 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: last year. You know, obviously when you have a team 152 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: that goes Allway FC Championship, you try to bring back 153 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: as many guys. Um. So I think there's some crossover 154 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: from that, you know, from a personnel standpoint. Um. But 155 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: I think other than that, you know, I just don't 156 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: think that matters. Yeah, this is gonna be a tough game, 157 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: no matter what similarities you've gone against him with different teams. 158 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: Of course, he was here for a long time. Characteristics 159 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: Brian Dable's play color stand out to you against. I 160 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: think it's tough, man. I think even if you just 161 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: if you just look at our games, Um, no game really, 162 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: I mean just look at the last year's two games 163 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: they didn't play, you know, kind of just like I 164 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: think in the first game, I think Moss and Singletary Ranford, 165 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: I think it was eighty or ninety yards each. In 166 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: the second game, they threw the ball kind of all 167 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: over the field. We've played them sometimes where we've gotten 168 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: three snaps of and in the same season the next 169 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: game we get fifteen snaps at empty So um, you know, 170 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: Daves is a kind of guy that like, whatever he 171 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: thinks is gonna work, that's what he's gonna go with. 172 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: You know, I would say it's not one of those 173 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: things where he's kind of like, you know, my offense, 174 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: my way, every week, we're gonna go. He's a guy that, 175 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, if he sees something and he thinks it 176 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: will work, he's gonna go do it. And I think 177 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: we got to be prepared to be able to adjust 178 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: within the game see some things that we might not 179 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: have seen all film from Buffalo. Um, because I think 180 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: he just has a great offensive mine. Um. Obviously we 181 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: played him way back when my rookie year in twenty ten, 182 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: when he's in Cleveland. I think what you saw him 183 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: do at Alabama, whether it was Hurst at quarterback and 184 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: then two at quarters, I think then he gets to 185 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: Buffalo and the development of Josh Allen, I think you 186 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: can see he can make his offense kind of go 187 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: with any type of quarterback or weapons as there um, 188 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: and I think that makes it tough on the defensive. Um, 189 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: you kind of know what you're get, but you don't 190 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: fully know what you're gonna get until you get into 191 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: the game. Because he's trying to make it challenging on you, 192 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: Like he knows your defense and he's trying to make 193 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: it tough put you in some situations where you know 194 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: you gotta make some tough decisions on do you stay 195 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: high low, like all those different things that come up. 196 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: Um of you know, each defense has a weakness and 197 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: that's what he's kind of trying to attack. And um, 198 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: I think we just gotta be ready to go on. 199 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: We gotta keep playing. This is one of those games 200 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: that they are good football team. You have good players. 201 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: They're gonna make some plays. We just gotta make our 202 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: plays too. Buffalo. Yeah, it's fun, man. I think we 203 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: talked about even this year. Man, we Caroline La like 204 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: we've gone. We've had some games where, like you look up, 205 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot of Patriots fans there, and there'll be 206 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: some Patriot fans there Monday night. But you gotta think 207 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: twice how loud you want to yell as a Patriot 208 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: fan when you're we're gonna stands in Buffalo. There's gonna 209 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: be a lot of rowdy Buffalo fans, not just during 210 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: the game. When our buses roll in three hours, three 211 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: and a half hours before they game. It's gonna be 212 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: a middle finger. You're we're gonna get everything. Um. And 213 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: I think as a competitor, you like that. I mean, 214 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: we like that when we play at home, that when 215 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: you look up in the stands, there's all Patriot fans there, 216 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: that the crowd it is rooting for the Patriots. If 217 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: I'm not looking up, you know, I hear somebody yell, 218 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: I know our offense made a play, um, and it's 219 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna be like that in Buffalo. It's gonna be 220 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: booze um. And I think as a competitor, you like that. 221 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: You like going on the road in a hostile environment 222 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: that bonds our team together. We know when we go 223 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: out there on Monday night, like it's just us, it's 224 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: gonna be uh whoever whoever is wearing Patriots logos, um. 225 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: And there might be a few fans there uh that 226 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: we probably won't be able to hear. But you go 227 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: on the road, it's supposed to be just you and 228 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: your group, and you gotta go perform with that, and 229 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: it'll definitely be that Monday night football competition. I don't 230 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: know what was said in any morning meetings. I was 231 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: a setup, right there as Mac have fun being matt. Uh. 232 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything I can tell Mac about 233 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: playing quarterback, just like I don't think there's anything Back 234 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: could tell me about playing safety. So um, you know, 235 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, all year, the kids had 236 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: a lot of fun playing, and I think he'll keep 237 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: doing that. Um, the bigger the games, getting no need 238 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: for you know, guys like me to be in his 239 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: ear telling them anything extra. He'll be fine. You know. 240 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: I think he's our guy now and we trust that, 241 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: and he'll go out there and do what he needs 242 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: to do. Their vertical passing game and just some of 243 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 1: the deep cross I think by they just don't only 244 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: do that, you know. I think that you play some 245 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: teams where you're like, you know, they're vertical passing game, 246 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: you kind of set your defense that way, but they're 247 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: not just that, you know. I think in the same 248 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: way that they can go vertical, they can run crossers 249 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: and have digs or Beasley and those guys run crossing routes. 250 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: And if everybody stays vertical, now you're tackling guys are 251 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: fifteen yards of space. So um, they do a good 252 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: job mixing and it doesn't all come out of the 253 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: same formation groups. Um, you gotta just be ready. You 254 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: know when the double move is gonna come in. It 255 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: could be the same set that they've run, you know, 256 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: five times that game, and you know each time the 257 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: guys run a hitch on the outside, but now it's 258 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: a hitching goal or it's out and up. They do 259 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: a good job of that, and you know, I think 260 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: Alan does a good job of not giving it away, 261 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: and um, I think some of our biggest plays come 262 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,599 Speaker 1: off him buying time or or you know, breaking the 263 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: tackling in the backfield and then being able to find 264 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: guys even sometimes on broken plays. But whenever you got 265 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: you play receivers like Digs and Sanders and these guys 266 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: that can go underneath and be tough enough to go 267 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: across the middle, but also stretch you vertically and push 268 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: pressure because you just don't know when one or the 269 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: others gonna come. And I think that's what push the 270 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: pressure that we got to kind of defend everything every play. 271 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: You're just talking about Mac and you talk too, and 272 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, guys you added to the team in the offseason, Um, 273 00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: as you've improved here along this winning street. You know, 274 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: anything different about coach Belichick his coaching style this year, 275 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: seems like you really enjoys coaching. Um No, I mean 276 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: maybe you guys noticed him smiling more. I don't know, 277 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: but I think my twelve years here, I think that's 278 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: one thing that Tommy has always stood out, how much 279 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: he enjoys coaching the team. Even last year obviously, you know, 280 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: worst year of my career. I've always felt like he 281 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: doesn't take for grant at what guys come in and do, 282 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: whether it's guys playing through injuries, guys being in here early, 283 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: being in her late, guys like Miles who you know 284 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: start on the practice squad and just worked their butts 285 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: off continuously and just being ready to go when they 286 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: get called, or like how we went down to Houston 287 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: this year with you know, Big Mike Isaiah on the 288 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: COVID list, Trent out and you know, you look up, 289 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: we got four guys that didn't start the season playing 290 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: on the offensive line, and they go out and probably 291 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: as a group play better than any other group we 292 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: had out there that week. I think he enjoys that. 293 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: I think he enjoys, you know, what each individual puts 294 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: in to this to collectively be a team. So, um, 295 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't think this year is any different than the 296 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: other years. I think he's always enjoyed it. I mean, 297 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: you guys probably have to ask him directly, but um, 298 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, for all the stuff that 299 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: gets talked about playing here, for me as a player 300 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: in myself, yeah, I've enjoyed every minute of playing for 301 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,359 Speaker 1: him and the opportunities you get because of his dedication 302 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: and the staffs dedication to give you a chance on 303 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: Sunday or Monday night to go play your best, because 304 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: of the work they put in to prepare you. UM 305 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: I've appreciated that a lot. And you know, obviously I 306 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: haven't been anywhere else, but um, I don't think there's 307 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: a coaching staff that works harder than our staff out there, 308 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: and I think that shows for us. You know, I 309 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: was going out there playing fast that that directly correlates 310 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: to what they do during the week. As a staff, 311 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: appreciate it.
