1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Andy, How relevant do you find the Week one game 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: from last year? Oh, I don't know why. I don't. 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: I think every years so different. So are different teams 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: in particular, So those got new guys. I've got new guys. 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: So you're not studying it too much in preparation for 6 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Well, you look at listen, you look at everything, right, 7 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna look at very name, but that 8 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's gonna be the same. Sure, How different 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: is your team this year with Mahomes instead of Alex Smith? 10 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: I think you guys know how I felt about Alex 11 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: and I I think the world of him, and I 12 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: think he's a heck of a quarterback. Obviously has more 13 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: experience and what Patrick has. They're both different. Their games 14 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 1: are different. Um, and Patrick's just beginning, right, I mean, 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: so Alex has been done a long time. But um, 16 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: you know, I like Patrick. I like it. I like 17 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: his game and what he's presented so far, and I 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: like his willingness to try to get better, you know, 19 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: which is important for a young guy. Patrick got plenty 20 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: plenty of room to grow. So Patrick got that that 21 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: one start last year, but maybe statistically has looked like 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: a totally different player this year. So was there a 23 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: big point of growth for him this offseason? Was it, 24 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, a growth in scheme for you? How did 25 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: you guys help him get to this this point where 26 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: he's just going out with young guys. I think it's 27 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: just a matter of plain So all of a sudden, 28 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: now during training camp, your reps increase or OTAs and 29 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: training camp, you know, your off season program, All of 30 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: a sudden, your reps increased twofold and uh, you're you're 31 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: getting every rep there is and where before you're just 32 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: getting a few. So um, and then how you handle 33 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: those I think it's important. I thought he he went 34 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: about it professionally and who worked hard at it? What 35 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: have you seen from the Patriots? Uh? I guess on 36 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball here the last two games 37 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: where they've come back with two uns. Listen, I have 38 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: the ultimate respect They're they're well coached. There, they've got 39 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: good players. Um. You know, I I've done Bill a 40 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: long time and have a ton of respect for him 41 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: and uh and the way he goes about his business. 42 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: So um, and they you know, they'll they'll continue to 43 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: get better as the season goes on and that's how 44 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: how he does and it's attributed to him and how 45 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: he goes about that. So that's ah um. But I 46 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: think they're playing really good football right now, and so 47 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: we got to make sure we we prep and go 48 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 1: through the process, you know, the chap two every week 49 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: for playing great football team. As a guy who has 50 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: known Bill for so long, are there any good Bill 51 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: Belichick stories you could share with us? Maybe? My media, 52 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: our IM media asked me the same thing. I don't. 53 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: I don't. We played each other so much, you know, 54 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: and we um, yeah, we you know, but that's I 55 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: don't have any anything revolution I could tell you there. 56 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: What about going back to when you guys made those 57 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: those trades that like trading spree, Uh, yeah, we had. 58 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: We had a lot of years of that going and 59 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: then and then up breaking. We broke the street there somewhere. 60 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: I gumember it was, but I think we had had 61 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: a ton of uh a ton of trades going there. 62 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: Even if we've flipped spots, even it was a spot, 63 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, we were both kind of picking at the 64 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: bottom of the pile there, so we you know, if 65 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: it was flipping a seventh round pick, but we kept 66 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: it going. For a number of years. India's wondering, Sony Michelle, 67 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: what your impressions were at him coming out of Georgia 68 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: and what you've seen from him and the four games 69 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: he's played in. Yeah, listen, I think it was a 70 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: great pick. Um. I think he runs hard across a 71 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: he can catch a football. He looks like he's a 72 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: smart kid. You know, look at how money came out. Um, 73 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: he's a good football player. You have a player in 74 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: your Jimmy Jimmy Murray, the center of offensive lineman's on 75 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: your practice squad. He's a guy that played at Holy 76 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: Cross not far from here. And what do you what 77 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: do you like about him thus far? Yeah? So um 78 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: him again, he's smart. Um, he came in um and 79 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: made our football team, and that was it was a 80 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: long shot, right, So he wasn't a high draft pick 81 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: and that he had he had earned everything and he 82 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: got our attention by his play and and he you know, 83 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: he's a tough kid. So I think I think the 84 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: future is going to be a real positive for him 85 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: as he goes as we go forward here, So, Andy, 86 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: what what trait about Pat Patrick do you like most? 87 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: Is it the arm strength? Is it his fearlessness. Is 88 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: it his intelligence or is it maybe the complete package? Yeah, 89 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: I listen, I can't pick one thing. But he's he's smart, 90 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: and he's a great kid, and he's willing to work, 91 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: you know, and so he hasn't done it, but for 92 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: a few games here it's uh he's going through uh 93 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: an NFL Sea that's first one. And they are all 94 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: kinds of challenges that come with that. So and no 95 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: bigger one than than this week. And uh so you 96 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: get you get so caught up up and as coaches 97 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: and players just going through the process, you know, get 98 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: ready for a game. Um, you don't think much about 99 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: all that other stuff. You know. Andy, there's been a 100 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: lot of talk because week here about RPOs and how 101 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: much they're coming to the NFL. Just just when did 102 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: you start incorporating that into your offense? Uh? Well yeah, 103 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: if I go back and look at what we did 104 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: with Donovan um U in Philly, he you know, he 105 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: had come from an offense that did everything, and I 106 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: mean it was comple it was complicated. They did a 107 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: million different things with it, um and we weren't calling 108 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: them RPOs back then, but there were options involved with 109 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: throwing the ball on the ball, and so you know, 110 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: we looked at a couple of things back then, and 111 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: then I did it again when Michael took over for 112 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: Donovan did it there. I did with Kevin Copp actually 113 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: before that, because Kevin came from that scheme. Michael kind 114 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: of came from that type of thing. And then Alex 115 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: I went back and looked at Alex as even though 116 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: he's he'd been out a long time. I kind of 117 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: went back and looked at some of the stuff he 118 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: did at Utah and incorporated that. And then it started 119 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: growing from there. And you know, these colleges and high 120 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: schools have been doing a lot longer than what we have, 121 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: and you know, and so we've just kind of grown 122 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: with it. Um, and these kids know how to do that. 123 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: So what do you like about these type of plays? 124 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: Because I think there's a stat that you guys ran 125 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: the most of them out of anyone in the NFL 126 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: last year. M Yeah, I like them. When they work, 127 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: that's where I like the most. Well, when and if 128 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: they work, I'm good with that. Um. But so we 129 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: got to figure out how to do that against the Pats. 130 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean, if they're good with us, have you have 131 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: you seen teams devoting more resources to try to stop 132 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: those time some players. Now yeah, yeah, I mean listen, 133 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: we all have to adjust everything so um as coaches, 134 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: and it's offensively or defensively. And I think defense is 135 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: a pretty nice job of working adjustments. Different job. Everybody 136 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: does it a little different. Um. I know Bill would 137 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: have something special for us there, so um, so we'll 138 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: have to try to figure it out. How much defensive 139 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: attention does does Josh Gordon demand? Yeah, Josh a good 140 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: football player. Now, he's big, he's fast, he's strong, hold things, 141 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: and he's got like a really good guy throw it 142 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: to him. So it's, uh, you got to make sure 143 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: that you do that. But I wouldn't say the other receivers. Uh, 144 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: you know you gotta cover them too, and they're they're 145 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: good players, so we gotta we gotta make sure we 146 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: do a good job there. And you're going back to 147 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: the freak of draft trades for a second. Do you 148 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: remember when that evolved from what was surely one or 149 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: two you know, mutually beneficial trade strades you made, to 150 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: when that became kind of, like you said, the streak 151 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: when it was making an effort more we'll do that. 152 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: I can't you know, I can't remember the first which 153 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: was the first, but we would talk during the draft. 154 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: There's a little bit of dead time during the drafts, 155 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: so we shoot the breeze during the draft, and then 156 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: we started coming up with these trade things, and I 157 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: don't remember. I mean, so we're kind of silly just 158 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: to trade un and so we kept a street going. Yeah, 159 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: but um, I can't tell you what's the first one. 160 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: Any memorable discussions are picks in the middle of that 161 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: street again, any any moments in the middle of that street, 162 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: Maybe not necessarily at the beginning, but when you said 163 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: you're shooting the breeze and you're talking with Bill, just 164 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: trying to keep it going. Any any memories there, Uh, 165 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: I'm not really not really. I don't ye got a 166 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: Bill that one. Yeah, Andy, what do you make of 167 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: your five and old start? Yeah, So listen, we're early 168 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: in the season and so I haven't really looked at 169 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: that part of it as much as other than when 170 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: you guys asked me about it. We're exhausting everything to 171 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: get ready for the next team, and uh, so that's 172 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: what we're doing now. I guess we've gotta get ready 173 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: for a good football team, and you spend so much 174 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: energy on that you don't have time to think about 175 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: anything else. And you're happy for about a minute after 176 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: a game. And then, unfortunately as a head coach, you 177 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: go back and you think of all things you could 178 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: have done better, right, and and so then you move on. 179 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: You go sleep, wake up, and boom, you're moving on 180 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: to the next team. And then you exhaust yourself that way. 181 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: Andy Stefan Gilmore is something of a film junkie. I 182 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: imagine most players in the NFL are, but I wondered 183 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: if any of that shows up in his game, whether 184 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: he seems to have sort of an extra anticipation, or 185 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: whether it doesn't pay. My teams have played against that 186 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: kid for a long time. We had a whole street 187 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: going there with Buffalo, and then, um, you know, now 188 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: at New England, we've played him several times, or at 189 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: least a couple of times, so two to three and 190 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: so I've seen him do nothing but get better and 191 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: better and better and better. And I believe I don't 192 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: know his study habits, but you watch his game and 193 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: you go, okay, this this kid here is sharp and 194 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: spends time in his trade. So we got to make 195 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: sure that we play well. And I guess him he's 196 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: a he's an echo player Indy. Just to fall up 197 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: on Ben's question about the RPOs from a little bit earlier, 198 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: does the versatility of some of these Patriots defenders at 199 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: all complicate the quarterbacks read when you're running a play 200 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: like that, whether it's Chung or Van Noy, like, you know, 201 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: trying to figure out if the guy is part of 202 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: the coverage or or in the box or part of 203 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: the part of the rush. Yeah, well, the one the 204 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: one thing that Bill's gonna do is you can bring 205 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: a smart guys and and I'm parcel of that Noy 206 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: because you know he's from BYU, so I know a 207 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: little expert. Right, I'll tell you he's the smartest one 208 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: because he's from BYU. But he brings his smart guys 209 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: and so um so he can do a lot of 210 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: things with him and he exhausted it. I mean, he's 211 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: got guys, uh you know, coming from everywhere and they 212 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: play all different kinds of combination coverages and have a 213 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: flexibility to do that because of the intelligence of his players. 214 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: And Chung is Chunk plays everywhere and can do everything, 215 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: whether it's corner, safety, linebacker. I mean, he does everything, 216 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: so he's a he's a heck of a player. Andy, 217 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: we like to spend a lot of time talking about scheme, 218 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: but how much one Once it comes Sunday night, you 219 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: kind of feel like as coaches, it's out of your hands. 220 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: You know them, they know you. It's going to be 221 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: up to the players. Yeah, well yeah, it should be 222 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: a great atmosphere for a football game. I mean it's ah, 223 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: you know that stadium will be loud and rolling, and 224 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: so this is why you go through the whole process 225 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: of getting yourself ready to the player and as a coach, 226 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: but players go through, you know, tremendous process of getting 227 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: themselves ready to playing games like this.
