1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Joining us live now. That was in deep Bill Belichick, Hello, Bell, 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: how are you good? Gun? How's it gone? Good? Things 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: a going well? Do well? Hange in there. So I 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: know we uh, we don't usually go back this far, 5 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 1: but I want to go back and started off with 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: Thursday night's game because I know you've probably already moved 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: on to Miami. And the fact is that in that 8 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: game on Thursday night, you had trouble stopping the run, 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: and right from the get go they had a couple 10 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: of big plays. That is something that your defense had 11 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: done well for a while. Bill. What kind of broke 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: down in that game? Yeah, we had a couple of 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: had a couple of in a big plays and you know, 14 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: we just got a coach and play better. It's no 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: no magic to it, Hey, coach. I just wanted to, 16 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: um try to clear up a little bit of confusion. 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: I think Friday, you're you're talking about Stidham going into 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: this game and and it was a little bit different 19 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: than maybe in that Chargers game when he was forty 20 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: five nothing, but he was put in that game at 21 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: ten minutes because you felt like he gave you the 22 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: best chance to come back and winning this game. Is 23 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: that true? Is that right? Uh, you know, it's want 24 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: to give him an opportunity to play. So so we did. Well, 25 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: I think that's what the confusion is because it was, 26 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: you know, it was an opportunity to show what he 27 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: can do, or like you had said, like you're trying 28 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: to win the game. You know that that was the 29 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: point I believe. So it was just because you knew 30 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: you had to throw the ball. Was that why he 31 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: was in there? Or that guy that you guys chose 32 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: to play the last ten minutes? I don't know. Like 33 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: I said, game Hi, an opportunity to play. You know, 34 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: Cams was taking some hits. I mean it's a combination 35 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: of things. Thought it was right time to put him 36 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: in there. Hey, well, would there ever be a situation 37 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: would that you would be open to playing both guys 38 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: Stidham and Cam kind of like you know where we 39 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: are right now, So yeah, we're not there now, do you? 40 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: But what would you be open to that whole idea 41 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: of playing two quarterbacks? Yeah? I mean it's a hypothetical, 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: crest question, Chris, I I have no idea. Four red 43 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: zone opportunities and you come away with a field goal. 44 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: Are teams playing you differently in the red zone, knowing 45 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: Cam's running ability. So there's some limitations now down there. Yeah, 46 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. You have to ask those 47 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: teams what they're thinking about. Again, we just got to 48 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: do a better job of getting bought man zone. No 49 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: no real magic to it. We just need to need 50 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: to call good plays and execute them. Well, we just 51 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: got to do more of it. Bill. You look at 52 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: the final score twenty four to three, and when you 53 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: look at the especially the second quarter in particular, you know, 54 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: like that that obviously the pick six and then there 55 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: was that goal line stand and he came away with 56 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: a field goal at twenty four to three. It looks 57 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: like it's kind of one sided. But would you look 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: back at that game and say it was actually closer. 59 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: Just a few plays there in that second quarter decided 60 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, I think the pick six is in 61 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: the first quarter of loom. But you know, there were 62 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: two long drives. We had opportunities to stop them on 63 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: both drives, and then you know, we gave up seven 64 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: points on poorly executed screen pass and as you said, missed, 65 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: I missed a couple of opportunities down on the scoring zone. 66 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: So you know, if we could have made a few 67 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: plays at the right time, certainly could have done a 68 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: much more competitive game. But that's not what happened. So 69 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, you know, the score was score 70 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: wasn't competitive. I thought the game was more competitive than 71 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: the score. But you know, when you're down about seventeen 72 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: points the end of the first quarters, you're in a 73 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: bill battle, especially against a team like the Rams that 74 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: are a good pass rushing team and well balanced offense. 75 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: So U Kyle Dugger coach, Um, he went to a 76 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: small school playing in the league. Now what was um 77 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: what was the biggest challenge for him to adapt to? Um? 78 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: You know, with with the change and UM, you know, 79 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: how do you think that he's handling the you know, 80 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: more reps and more opportunities. Yeah, he's doing well. Yeah, 81 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: he's doing well. Um. Yeah, I think everything has a challenge. 82 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: So that's all like all new to him. And he 83 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: learns a lot every day and works hard every day 84 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: and improves and but there's just you know a lot 85 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: of things he hasn't experienced. But there are a lot 86 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: of things he has experienced this year and he's you know, 87 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: he's gotten a lot better. So he's doing fine just now. 88 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: It's just a lot for him. But so are you 89 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: playing more? It seems like you're playing more and more 90 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: of these younger players. Is it mostly because you're just 91 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: seeing the improvement and those are the best guys at 92 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: the position right now, Well, they're they're improvement certainly, certainly 93 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: part of it. Yeah, I mean we've you know, there's 94 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: some guys that aren't you know, aren't able to play um. 95 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: And then some of these guys have earned, you know, 96 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: playing time as they've gotten better and you know, work 97 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: on things that they've don't identified for him too, you know, 98 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: to work on them. M that's some of them might 99 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: have got a chance to play played productively, you know, 100 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: like Miles, so he's got more of an opportunity. Josh, 101 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: it's because I have a chance to get some playing diamond. 102 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: You know, they've done a good job with it, so 103 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: they've earned more. The reason I ask is because this 104 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: year has been different and you're you need to develop 105 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: probably some of these younger players. But you're saying that 106 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: a lot of it is because they're they're earning that 107 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: that playing time. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, Coach, one of those 108 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: guys that Nakill, Harry, you know we've talked about in 109 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: the past, They're doing doing the right thing, working hard. 110 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get better, reaching every day, and then 111 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: yesterday goes out, you know, three catches on four targets 112 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: forty nine yards and um, a couple of nice, really 113 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: nice catches, kind of contested catches. Is it? Is that 114 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: a good you You want these guys to kind of 115 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: they gotta have that confidence right to get over that hump, 116 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: to try to buy into what they're doing and working hard. 117 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: Was that one of those games for Nikio, Harry you 118 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: could build continue to build confidence for himself moving forward? Um? Yeah, 119 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: I mean I think there were you know, positive things 120 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: for him the Ram game, from the Charger game. Um yeah, 121 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: and hopefully if he gets stringing together. Okay, So I 122 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: want to get to the Dolphins game because you guys 123 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: saw them the first week of the season. Um. So, 124 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: how much have they changed other than the obvious, which 125 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: is their quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is not starting anymore. Um 126 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: and the rookie to Taga Vaya Looa. Can you say 127 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: that one coach? Can you if you if you try 128 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: to say you just shorten it to make sure you 129 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: don't mess it up too. Yeah, just to right, just 130 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: is keeping him easy. So what's been the biggest change 131 00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: for them as a team. Um, well, I played well 132 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: in all phases of the game, return kicks, they've you know, 133 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: the top of the league, and scoring defense, third down defense, 134 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: and that score a lot of points in the first half, 135 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: so they played from a head, had good balance of 136 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: the offense. So the really improved in in all areas. Um, 137 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, as they've just developed consistency and in their 138 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: scheme and so forth. So I won't say it's any 139 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: one specific thing, but yeah, it's done a good job 140 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: al across the board. People constantly cite they'll do it 141 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: again this week. Your track record against these rookie quarterbacks, 142 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: and it's phenomenal. Um, why do you think that is 143 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: the case? Yeah, no, idea, None of that really means 144 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: anything this week. I think two as a very talented player. 145 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: He's shown up you know, throughout his career. I haven't 146 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: been out there for any snaps against any of these guys. 147 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: So we'll see how our players compete against their players 148 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: and their team on Sunday. Are you ready for all 149 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: the Uh? Why is it so hard? To win in Miami? 150 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: Is it the heat? Are you ready for those questions? Well, 151 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: certainly are not referring to last year. No, I'm just 152 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: in general. Whenever anyone brings up the Miami Dolphins, that's 153 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: always forty one to nothing or something like that. Let's 154 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: take a break and we'll come back. We'll all bit up.
