1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Live down here at Galetche Stadium in Foxborough. Part of 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: this new gig in Afternoon Drive says here every Monday 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: throughout the Patriot season, you guys must interview the coach, 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: Bill Belichian. So it's very interesting. Bill weren't right back 5 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: to his normal chew. He just addressed Eph in the room. 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: He'd chew you out of the chair and moved you 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: over there as a sign of respect. I moved. I 8 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: moved as a sign of respect because before you said 9 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: you weren't moving for anything. But I never said that. 10 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: That never came up once. Well what am I supposed 11 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: to do? Like? I mean, that's just funny, the creature 12 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: of habit. I would if you wanted your seat, you 13 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: would move. Also, Bill sex once my seat. That's going. 14 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: It's terrific. Everything is good. Everything good with you so far? Yeah? Good? 15 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: All right? So we are doing good. Be good. So 16 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: we heard from the offensive players they were bitching. Apparently 17 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: things did not go well. Defensive players were saying it 18 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: was it was a good day of practice. So was 19 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: it tough out day today? Well, every day there's good 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: things and not so good things. It's always things to 21 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: work on. Let's keep grinding through it. But we're making progress. 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: We just got a long way to go. Yeah, you know, 23 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: I hear the word grind a lot, coach, And I 24 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: gave you know, Matthew Slader a hard time about this, 25 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: and I guess you know, people are calling you chill Bill. 26 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: You've changed and you're lighter on the guys and it's 27 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: not as hard and you're giving them days off. And 28 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: I was talking to Slade. I was like, man, I 29 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: did it a whole back in my day. Thing. Oh, 30 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: we would never get us many days off? Is it is? It? 31 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,559 Speaker 1: Is it? Have you focus really on giving the guys 32 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: more time off because of the workload or just because 33 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: the sign of the times? Ye know, our workload has 34 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: been high, it's been you know. We we track what 35 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: we do every year and compare it from a year 36 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: to year. Of course each year is different depending on 37 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: your schedule and so forth, but our workloads up. I 38 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: know you you you talk about this that every year 39 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: is a different year and you do things differently every year. 40 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: A Christian tells the stories about Warren Moon and playing 41 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: with him, you as played with Testa Verdi, right, yes, yes, 42 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: so two quarterbacks that can we call him elder citizens, 43 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: senior citizens or whatever, you've got one on the staff. 44 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: He's pretty damn good. Still he's the MVP. Do you 45 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: have to manage him and his minutes differently? Now? At 46 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: his age, I think it's more of a year to 47 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: year or thingum. Where a player is one year where 48 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: he is the next year aren't necessarily depending on his age. 49 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: It just might depend on what, you know, if he 50 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: has something that's bothering him, or again, just you know 51 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: what the workload is, because that ours isn't always the same. 52 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: So you know, we have a lot of guys on 53 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: our team that are a little bit limited and something 54 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: they can't do, but they can do other things. And 55 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: so we you know, we do that with everybody. I 56 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: mean rookies to veterans, to all the guys in between. 57 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: I mean that's part of our daily routine. Does that 58 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: make it harder when it's a quarterback because you know, 59 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: it's like you sit a wide receiver, Say somebody like 60 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: Gronk who's already got a good repetition, you know, can 61 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: work with Brady, but Brady needs to new weapons offensively 62 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: at wide receiver. If you limit him, does it effect 63 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: those guys as well, yeah, again, we try to balance 64 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: what's best for the individual and what's best for the 65 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: team and try to make the best decision we can. 66 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: So we have ninety players, eighty nine players, and I 67 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: have a lot of different needs in practice, offense, defense, 68 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: special teams, running game of the passing game, situational football, 69 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: and so forth. So in the end, we just try 70 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: to put all together and make the most efficient use 71 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: of our time. So we just talked this later, and 72 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: you're talking about joint practices in the past. Now it's 73 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: a nice break up and you're going up against other 74 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: guys and other teams. If you had your choice, would 75 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: you would you have them this year? Does that? Does 76 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: it help you the benefit outwagh sort of like the 77 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: negatives towards that. Uh, well, I mean the schedule is 78 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: what it is. We've had them, we've not had them. 79 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 1: I think though, you know, we have our opportunities to 80 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: make our team better, to build our team. We'll try 81 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: to do the best we can make the most of them. Um. 82 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: I don't have any issues with what we're doing. This 83 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: year might be different, next year, might might have been 84 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: different the year before. I don't think that's really that important. 85 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: I think it's how we how productive we are with 86 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: our time, and so we're gonna try to do the 87 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: best we can with it. But I'm fine with where 88 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: we're at. Yeah, Coach, it was it was, you know, 89 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: based on like the workload for let's say, for Brady, 90 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: is it to the point where it's like a pitcher 91 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: with a pitch count with Brady as far as how 92 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: much he actually throws? Are you guys charting that to 93 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: compare it to last year and maybe you could draw 94 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: some correlation between success and you know something like that. Yeah, 95 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: we don't. We don't really do it that way, but 96 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: we again, we you know, we keep track every player. 97 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: That's that's our job. We have people on our staff 98 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: to do that and so um, some of it's football related, 99 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: some of it's just physically what they do and where 100 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: they're at and what they can do. So and we 101 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: put all together and I say, make the best decision 102 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: we can for the player and the team. You and 103 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: Brady have been together for a long time now, You've 104 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: had great success together, and obviously the organization has had 105 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: phenomenal success. There was a lot of stuff reported in 106 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: the offseason that might be a rocky relationship. We now 107 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: hear stories in the last few days that Tom apparently 108 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: has agreed to um, you know, some thing additional in 109 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: his contracts and change in his contract. Do you feel 110 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: that the relationship between you and Tom has changed at 111 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: all in all these years, Bill, Do you sense something 112 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: different here? Something different? I mean, look, nineteen years. It's 113 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: nineteen years, so any relationship is going to evolve over 114 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: that period of time, which ours has, you know. But 115 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: we still do basically the same things that we've done 116 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: for quite a period of time now, and I don't 117 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: see that changing. But you don't sense any friction or 118 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: because that's what was reported in the offseason. You don't 119 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: sense that. I have a good relationship with Tom. I 120 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for Tone. We won a 121 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: lot of games together and I hope we can lend 122 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: some more together. I know he feels the same way. 123 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: You're one of them the guys that gets brought a 124 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: lot when you bring up Tom Brady's Alex Caurero. I'm 125 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: curious this year is his access changed at all into 126 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: last year? He wasn't traveling with the team, he wasn't 127 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: the sidelines during games. Is that the same this year? 128 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: Will be different. Yeah, I'm not going to get into 129 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: responsibility and all that other people that, uh don't work 130 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: on our in our organization. So he's not he's not 131 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: with the organization, right, you said that in the past, 132 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: that's correct. You know. One of the things I was 133 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: looking at is, I remember back when Charlie Weiss left 134 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: and Romeo left. I didn't. I didn't really feel like 135 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: there was any change in the way things were handled. 136 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: It seems like a real easy transition. Josh mc daniels 137 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: comes back, he stays flores Is now. I guess I 138 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: don't know if he's a defense quarter entirely, but it 139 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: seems like he's he's running the defense. What's that trans 140 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: transition been like for for for the defense overall? As 141 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: far as just managing the expectations and his philosophy on 142 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: calling a game, Well, again, we have a long way 143 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: to go. We haven't really played a game. We're not 144 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: going to play a game until we play the Texans, 145 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: when we actually game plan and get into the strategizing 146 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: for our game and so forth. So right now we're 147 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: really trying to install our system. Um comfortable with the techniques, 148 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: the communication and the personnel. However, it goes together in 149 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: various groupings and so forth, and we're working our way 150 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: through that and we'll see how it goes Before has 151 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: he called games in the past, like whether it be 152 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: a scribge. Brian's a very experienced coach. He's been here 153 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: for a long time. He's worked in scouting all three 154 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: sides of the ball and defense, multiple areas of all 155 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: three sides of the ball, offense, defense, special teams, multiple 156 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: areas on defense's He knows the game well, he knows 157 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: our system well, he knows our player as well. Talking 158 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: about that in preseason games, obviously you don't game play 159 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: the way you will in the regular season. You're operating 160 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: with a ninety man roster through the entire camp. Now, 161 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: Christian was talking about it earlier, not as many practice 162 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: sessions as you've had in the past. You've always had 163 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: great success finding that Jim somewhere undrafted kit that suddenly 164 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: becomes a productive player for you. Is it more difficult 165 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: to do it now these days to find that guy 166 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: because there's you're going through so much of of a 167 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: process during the camp. Well, I mean those guys are 168 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: you know, the it's the longer odds on them anyway. 169 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: But no, I wouldn't say so. I mean the draft 170 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: process is, um, you know, this is a little bit 171 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: harder than what it used to be with a lot 172 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: of you know, the majority, not the majority, but such 173 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: a high percentage of kids coming out early. Um, there's 174 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: a little bit I would say, less information overall on 175 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: a lot of guys in college. So there are guys 176 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: and aren't drafted or are drafted lower than what they 177 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: end up showing up to be in training camp. So 178 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: I think you just have to do a good job. 179 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: Everybody's working with the same you know, in same circumstances, 180 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: um asmar as practices and all that go. It means 181 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: there's no different than it's been since the new CBA, 182 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: So we're I don't know what's seven years into that, 183 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: whatever it is, So it's the same for everybody who 184 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: is what it is. I think everybody's adjusted to it. Again, 185 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: I think the main thing is to make the most 186 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: of the opportunities, and that's what we trying to do. Coach. 187 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: One of the things people talk a lot about this 188 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: offseason was they want to see who this new helmet 189 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: rule was. You know, we talked a lot about going 190 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: into that game Thursday, and you guys, there wasn't one 191 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: call in your game. But around the league there's been 192 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: some complaints. Do you feel like you've got that right understanding? 193 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: They've explained it enough to where you feel like, probably 194 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: you know that you can coach it up and you 195 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: guys can understand. Is it you understand it enough in 196 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: that way? Right? Well? I talked about that quite a 197 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: bit last week, and I think we'll just have to 198 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: see how it Just see how it goes. You know, 199 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: We've had this type of situation before with a rule 200 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: like defenseless receiver or defenseless player, and that rule has evolved, 201 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: and I think we're all fairly comfortable with that, fans, players, coaches, 202 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: what it is, what it isn't. I think this rule 203 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: may be similar. That might take a little bit of 204 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: time to evolve, but in the end, fundamentally, what the 205 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: league's trying to do, what we're all trying to do, 206 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: is make it a safer game. We're all for that, 207 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: so hopefully we'll continue to work towards that end. Yeah, 208 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: there's m Brable was on one of the I guess 209 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: the NFL Rules Committee or something like that, where he 210 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: actually broke down defensive ends and linebackers and the different 211 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: techniques that were I guess outlawed now and how to 212 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: I guess adjust to it. And it was it seemed 213 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: like it was a pretty easy fix as far as 214 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: just basically not sticking your hand in there and using 215 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: your hands more. And I've been to a couple of 216 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: practices I haven't noticed it, But I also haven't seen 217 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: any egregious plays that I thought would be called. When 218 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: there is something like that, do you guys stop, I 219 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: mean stop practice, or bring the player over and address 220 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: it right away and maybe go over some alternative moves. Well, 221 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: it's that obvious in practice that we don't have too 222 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: many of those in practice that I can remember. They're 223 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: pretty infrequent. It might come up on film. I think 224 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: probably a film would be a better place to articulate that, 225 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: so that you couldn't actually show the play, you know, 226 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: give everybody a good sense of it, because everybody might 227 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: not have seen it out on the field. Sometimes it's 228 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: hard to correct than if for an entire team on 229 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: the field, because everybody didn't see the player. Talking about 230 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: just the one individual, but you know, a lot of cases, 231 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: you want that message to go to everybody, not just 232 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: one guy. So we'd probably do it in a film 233 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: correction meeting and let everybody see it, and if they 234 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: was done incorrectly, they try to show examples of a 235 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: similar play being done correctly so that everybody could see 236 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: that if that were to come up. Coach in baseball, 237 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: a lot of the managers will often sit there and say, 238 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, I have an open door policy. You can 239 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: come in and we can talk about anything, whatever's on 240 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: your mind, and I'll tell you the truth. You do 241 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: you have that same sort of policy with your guys 242 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: man maybe our players every day. So what I'm curious 243 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: is that at the end, I'm curious, whether it's a 244 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: spring or earlier in camp, did any of those players 245 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: take advantage they feel like they need to talk to 246 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: you about the Malcolm Butler situation to Super Bowl, why 247 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: he didn't play. Did anyone come to you? Yeah, I've 248 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: already addressed that question, Louise. Really, I'm focused on this year, 249 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: this training camp, trying to get the twenty eighteen team better, 250 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: not some other year or some other game some of 251 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: happened last year, five years ago, twenty years ago. Yeah, 252 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: like we're pasted all that and I understand that, you know, 253 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: but I always feel like, you know, in order to 254 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: go forward, you got to close up the pass because 255 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: you've seen Seattle a couple you see Am and Dola 256 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, still talking about it, not knowing. 257 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: I'm just here. Some of these guys, just like the captains, 258 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: the guys you respect that they feel like they could 259 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: talk to you if they if they had issues to 260 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: address that. Again, I talked to the team every day. 261 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: I can't think of would tell you that I've the 262 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: team's been in here that we haven't had a team meeting. 263 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: I haven't addressed them. And there's things to talk about. 264 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: We talk about him. Thursday night, you're taking on the 265 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. The game will certainly have a lot less 266 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: um at stake than the Super Bowl did. Yet Lane 267 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: Johnson is all excited about playing the Patriots again, and 268 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: he's sitting there and he's talking a lot of crap 269 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 1: out there right now. Is this a little bit unusual 270 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: for a preseason game? I didn't know. We've had some 271 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: fight now with some teams, which you've probably seen in 272 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: the preseason. Is there any concern in your part with 273 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: this one concern for what approach, I mean, our approaches. 274 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 1: We have to improve as a football team. We have 275 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: an opportunity to do it this Thursday night against a 276 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: very good football team. They have a lot of talent, 277 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: they're well coached, and we want to do the best 278 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: we can to improve our team and be ready for 279 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: the regular season, to be ready for the sixteen game, 280 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: the opener against Houston in the sixteen game regular season. 281 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: It's another step in our process. So that's what we're 282 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: focused on. I just find it a little unusual that 283 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: a player on the other team that actually won the 284 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl is sitting there talking trash about a practice game, right, 285 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: a preseason game, not a practice Right. I've never heard 286 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: that before. We've heard that before. I amn't Yeah, I 287 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: mean I haven't really followed it, so I don't know. 288 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: So if you could, um you talk about this. You 289 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: still have a long way to go compare two years past. 290 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: Is this team ahead of the curve or behind or 291 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: they right where you think they should be? Yeah, well, 292 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: there's no curve. You just try to keep keep building 293 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: on your team each day and things may go a 294 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: little faster than you expect. In some areas, it might 295 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: go a little slower in other areas might be about 296 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: the same mom and there may be other factors that 297 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: accelerate or decelerate the pace. I think you just take 298 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: it one day at a time and try to, as 299 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: I said, maximize the opportunity that we have out there 300 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,119 Speaker 1: on a practice field, in the meeting rooms and classrooms 301 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: and walk throughs, film study, make the most we can 302 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: out of every every day. So you guys lost Matt 303 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: Patricia in the off season and having you know, Josh 304 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: McDaniel's back here and he left. The rumors whether he's 305 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: gonna bring some coaches with them, But it must feel good. 306 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Tom Brady's getting older. To have that offensive coordinating, 307 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: that relationship back, that must be a pretty good feeling 308 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, just a great coach. We have a 309 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: great staff, and I'm certainly privileged to out of Josh 310 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: honor staff. He does a tremendous job. All right, but 311 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: we're looking forward to it every Monday. And now you 312 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: can move back to your old scene like when Bill 313 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: will like it over here? What do you mean you're 314 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: like it over wait? Do you is it? You feel 315 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: like you're in the time warp right now? Coach? Like 316 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: you have. You have Glenn right here. I mean, he 317 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: hasn't changed it all. I still got great here right 318 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: I think. I think both Bill and I look a 319 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: little bit older than the last time we sat here 320 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: across from each other. But we're still doing just fine. 321 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: We're doing all right. We're doing all right. We're hanging 322 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: in there. Bill's good seeing you. We'll see you next month. 323 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: Sounds good.
