Speaker 1: Throw the ball, and it was just good to see
Speaker 1: him get back on the field and throw the ball.
Speaker 1: The thing that we'll see as can he is there
Speaker 1: residual effects of him throwing it, how much, where's the
Speaker 1: soreness level and things like that, and we'll find that
Speaker 1: out a little bit more today. So it gets bigger
Speaker 1: as a week goes on. Chip Malcolm Jenkins talked about,
Speaker 1: you know, after these two back to back blowout losses,
Speaker 1: maybe it's better it would be better to slow down
Speaker 1: a little bit this week and talk things over and
Speaker 1: get some things corrected. What was your take on that, Well,
Speaker 1: that's what we do every day. I think when we
Speaker 1: meet individually and position meetings are coaches, we'll go over
Speaker 1: every single play that was run against us in the
Speaker 1: in the past game. So part of our schedule on
Speaker 1: Tuesday when they get backer is the first thing we
Speaker 1: do is we address the game that we just played
Speaker 1: and we go over that in detail and in each
Speaker 1: position group as a group and they go over everything.
Speaker 1: So Corey runs a defensive back meeting and goes everything
Speaker 1: with them. Then we transition and everything from a special
Speaker 1: team standpoint. Then we come back and start the next
Speaker 1: meeting after that about our insertion in terms of getting
Speaker 1: ready to play the New England Patriots. So that's addressed
Speaker 1: every Tuesday. We're not doing it in a team setting. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't understand that. I think that was Malcolm's a
Speaker 1: point was that in New Orleans they did it in
Speaker 1: a full team setting when they went over reviewed film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that why don't I do that? Because my
Speaker 1: right card doesn't really care what our free safety does,
Speaker 1: so it's not really efficient for map tobin to listen
Speaker 1: what the instruction is going on with the free safety.
Speaker 1: So I think when you want to get detailed in
Speaker 1: terms of making corrections, it needs to be done in
Speaker 1: the position group because those guys are paying attention to
Speaker 1: what goes on at their position. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: of different ways to do it to do it, but
Speaker 1: for us, in our opinion, and I do it in
Speaker 1: a lot of places. So I think everywhere I've been
Speaker 1: it's been done that way. It's all been done in
Speaker 1: the individual position room to the individual position player, because
Speaker 1: it doesn't help a guy in this sport, unlike any
Speaker 1: other sport, it's very not related. You know, goes on
Speaker 1: for an offensive lineman. It's totally different than what goes
Speaker 1: on for defensive back about defense, defense and offense, like,
Speaker 1: I'm sure something that. Yeah, well we start every cornerback half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when we do that, Billy, we start everything. So we
Speaker 1: go from a team meeting and then we split into
Speaker 1: offense defense. So then Billy runs, Billy has ten or
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes with a defense, Pad has ten or fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes with the offense. Then we split into individual position groups.
Speaker 1: He was saying that maybe it creates more accountability if
Speaker 1: someone is getting called out in front of in front
Speaker 1: of the entire team. I don't that's just not I
Speaker 1: don't buy that. I mean, I think Corey does a
Speaker 1: great job and calling out our guys in the dB
Speaker 1: rooms and then not calling it out. It's instructing on
Speaker 1: on what they did right and what they did wrong. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, if you need to get called out in
Speaker 1: front of a group, then you're not getting things accomplishing
Speaker 1: your individual position meeting. And that's not the case. Brought
Speaker 1: that to your attention of other players voice concerns about
Speaker 1: the way things are done around the meter or no,
Speaker 1: and and what we do around here. It is kind
Speaker 1: of what Pat did when he was in Cleveland. It's
Speaker 1: what Billy's used to. You know, we've got a lot
Speaker 1: of input from a lot of guys that have done
Speaker 1: at different places. So um, you know, I haven't been
Speaker 1: part of that. I don't under I think the efficiency
Speaker 1: of time it doesn't Again, it doesn't help. You got
Speaker 1: separate positions, and there's individual things. If a defensive lineman
Speaker 1: doesn't place his hands right, how does that affect what
Speaker 1: the corner's doing. I think our corners need as much
Speaker 1: work and much instruction. I think our d line needs
Speaker 1: as much work and as much instruction. I think he
Speaker 1: can be more specific in doing it in terms of that.
Speaker 1: And everywhere I've been, I think it's been done that way.
Speaker 1: I think everywhere Billy has been, that's why it's been done.
Speaker 1: I think we're talking to Pat. I think that's why
Speaker 1: it's done where Pat's been in his career. So I
Speaker 1: think it's similar to what Andy did when he was here.
Speaker 1: So you know, that's just what we choose to do.
Speaker 1: Many you address the point that he made that he
Speaker 1: said it was hard for him to be the leader
Speaker 1: that he obviously likes to be without the accountability coming
Speaker 1: down from the coach, because then he can't be a fact,
Speaker 1: but I think when you ask him it does. So
Speaker 1: our linebackers are being held accountable by coach Miner and
Speaker 1: Demiko Ryots. You know, I think it's all done in
Speaker 1: an individual position group, so, you know, I think everybody
Speaker 1: should worry about their job and do their job. Then
Speaker 1: to say, you know, I'm not doing this on my aspect,
Speaker 1: but how come this guy's not doing that? I think
Speaker 1: that's where you get into kind of fingerpoint and that's
Speaker 1: not that's not conducive to being successful. I think everybody
Speaker 1: needs a stretch and everybody needs help out. Um, we
Speaker 1: all do. And I think the more you can get
Speaker 1: specific with the individual player and detail that for the
Speaker 1: individual player, it's better. But to be in a group
Speaker 1: setting to say that I don't think the left the
Speaker 1: left tackle made a mistake here, and I want everybody
Speaker 1: in the room to know that that's doesn't help the
Speaker 1: right corner. I mean, the right corner is gonna go okay, great,
Speaker 1: that's good. Good. Let's I mean, I'm worried about playing
Speaker 1: press man? Why am I? Why am I listen to
Speaker 1: what I've had to going on? In a pass rushing
Speaker 1: like this, when you're struggling and a team's going through
Speaker 1: a rough time. How do you deep down stay within
Speaker 1: what you truly believe in and say, I know this
Speaker 1: is gonna work. I know this is gonna get us
Speaker 1: out of this well, because I've seen it work before,
Speaker 1: and I've seen these players be successful before, and I've
Speaker 1: had that questions. I've seen us play really good football, right,
Speaker 1: you know, up until the last two games, I thought
Speaker 1: we played really well on the defensive side of the ball. Um,
Speaker 1: I think those guys have done a really good job.
Speaker 1: You know. That's where kind of the Tampa Bay game
Speaker 1: was surprising. And we hadn't had their ball run on
Speaker 1: us like that since we've been here, the three years
Speaker 1: we have been here. So so I've seen the successful
Speaker 1: them and then I've told those guys that I believe
Speaker 1: in them because I've seen it. I's not believing them
Speaker 1: because it's fake. I've seen them all play at a
Speaker 1: really high level. We just need to play at a
Speaker 1: high level consistently as a group. A lot of what
Speaker 1: you've done here in terms of practices in the structure
Speaker 1: of the day is about being efficient with your time. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: why why why don't you want you know, Is it
Speaker 1: just you digital one guy's wasting time not getting as
Speaker 1: much out of the day, or are you ever worried
Speaker 1: about ending to day early for the players? I don't
Speaker 1: think we ended. I mean they're here from eight to five,
Speaker 1: so that's kind of prototypical of what goes on. And
Speaker 1: why is efficiency so so big to you? Well, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's a big fan of wasting time,
Speaker 1: do you. No? I mean no, so I guess I'm
Speaker 1: not into wasting time. So yeah, that's the first time
Speaker 1: I've ever heard anybody critique efficiency. So I'm asking you
Speaker 1: why you I mean, why you've gone to such lengths
Speaker 1: to I don't think we've gone to such lengths. I
Speaker 1: think I think your job is to create an environment
Speaker 1: where you have an opportunity to be successful. And you
Speaker 1: can just say, all right, let's how long do we
Speaker 1: want to meet for? I don't know. We got from
Speaker 1: now till midnight. I mean that's not really efficient. What
Speaker 1: do you got to get accomplished? I mean, I think
Speaker 1: everybody has to have parameters. You have deadlines, right, I
Speaker 1: mean you got to get a story in. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're if your editor said, you know, get me
Speaker 1: a story sometime. You know, Okay, you're going to be
Speaker 1: doing something that's probably not efficient. You know, if he
Speaker 1: tells I need a story in by noon, I'm probably
Speaker 1: gonna take care of the task at hand. And so
Speaker 1: I mean not so okay, I hope that answer it
Speaker 1: the two summers with the Patriots. What did you get
Speaker 1: from from that? Besides obviously the typical preseason work. I
Speaker 1: think that's what we got from it. I think people
Speaker 1: try to read too much into it. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't think we looked at it is. Hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I know when year three we're going to play them,
Speaker 1: So let's try to figure out what they're doing or
Speaker 1: how they're doing it. Because the rosters change and turn
Speaker 1: over so much much that you can't say, hey, they
Speaker 1: did a you know, watch what they're doing here with
Speaker 1: this and in these schemes? Are those schemes because one
Speaker 1: thing Bill does, it does a great job of is
Speaker 1: implement a scheme that what players are available to him.
Speaker 1: So even if I mean, if we had a great
Speaker 1: an understanding of what Julian Edelman does, that's great. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna play against this, you know, So we when
Speaker 1: we go to those sessions. It was just to get
Speaker 1: quality work against really good um, a really good team,
Speaker 1: you know, in an environment. I think we spend a
Speaker 1: lot of time, myself and Coach Belichick and putting those
Speaker 1: times together, and I think they were very, very efficient
Speaker 1: in terms we got accomplished, a lot of great situational work,
Speaker 1: got a lot of really good on good work. UM.
Speaker 1: We did a lot of things on separate fields at
Speaker 1: the same time, so that again we were actually being efficient.
Speaker 1: You know, we didn't have you know, guys standing around watching,
Speaker 1: you know, their guys were working. Our guys were working.
Speaker 1: I really in those sessions, I didn't haven't much interaction
Speaker 1: with Bill because he was on his field and I
Speaker 1: was on my field. So it was, you know, we
Speaker 1: thought there was great efficiency in that work, and it
Speaker 1: was really the good on good and that's what we
Speaker 1: were trying to get of those things. Why do you
Speaker 1: think it was important for you to tell the team
Speaker 1: that you're not going anywhere? I didn't, And I think
Speaker 1: that was what I was. I was actually having to
Speaker 1: talk to him about the difference between perception and reality.
Speaker 1: And I used that as one example of the difference
Speaker 1: between perception and reality. But I didn't have a team
Speaker 1: meeting to say, let me tell you what's going on
Speaker 1: with me. I mean that that was just an example.
Speaker 1: I've never been leading, and it's been reported. So that's
Speaker 1: my point is that the difference between perception and reality
Speaker 1: is that the reality is this, the perception is this,
Speaker 1: And here's a couple of examples of reality and perception,
Speaker 1: and that's all it was. So it wasn't a team
Speaker 1: meeting to address anything, because that again, for me, to
Speaker 1: have a team meeting to address anything would be inefficient.
Speaker 1: Were some of the other examples? Were some of the
Speaker 1: other examples. You gave a lot of reports that are
Speaker 1: put in the media Michael Kendricks that we don't like
Speaker 1: Michael Kendricks, he doesn't fit our prototype of what we're
Speaker 1: looking for in a linebacker, and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden resigned Michael Kendricks. Well, what's reported is the perception.
Speaker 1: What the reality is is we think Michael's a great
Speaker 1: fit in terms of what we do. So there's a
Speaker 1: litany of them. The problem is, I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people can get sidetracked with what perceptions are and
Speaker 1: we have to really focus on the reality. And the
Speaker 1: reality for us is the Lonegan Patriots and let's dig
Speaker 1: into this and let's get after it and prepare for
Speaker 1: playing against a really good football team. When the decision
Speaker 1: to release Um last year myst offseason, just where we
Speaker 1: were in the secondary and what we were trying to
Speaker 1: get accomplisher, was it anything with us schematically in terms
Speaker 1: of him fitting in in terms of what you guys
Speaker 1: do back there, Now, I wouldn't say it was it
Speaker 1: was that much. I just think we're billion and what
Speaker 1: they wanted to do in a secondary and where they
Speaker 1: were going, you know, and I think pat understood when
Speaker 1: you look at when you look at the Patriot secondary, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, they lost a couple of marquee guys during
Speaker 1: the offseason and everything, like just the way they've been
Speaker 1: able to like plug in and keep going, I mean
Speaker 1: about I think there's some growth there. I think if
Speaker 1: you watch Malcolm Butler play, you know, he started last
Speaker 1: year as an undrafted free agent. Obviously he had the
Speaker 1: maybe the play ever in the Super Bowl in terms
Speaker 1: of what he'd done. But he's taken great strides as
Speaker 1: a corner, and they've had him matched up in a
Speaker 1: couple of games against Beckham, against some of the really
Speaker 1: top receivers that they faced, and he's a competitive, aggressive
Speaker 1: and has done a really nice job. And I think
Speaker 1: maybe their decisions to let guys go because they felt
Speaker 1: like their depth provided them with someone like that. I
Speaker 1: think Logan Ryan on the other side, is someone that
Speaker 1: has done a really, really good job, is another quality corner.
Speaker 1: And then I think McCardy may be one of the
Speaker 1: best free safeties in the league. So I think they've
Speaker 1: they've got some quality depth. They may not be the
Speaker 1: name depth, but when you watch the tape and you're
Speaker 1: evaluating players and you look at how Malcolm Butler's playing
Speaker 1: right now, it's whether it's whether he has the premier name.
Speaker 1: You know, some of the top corners in the league,
Speaker 1: but he's playing like that right now. So have you
Speaker 1: seen enough from Sam Bradford to know that you know
Speaker 1: he can be effective? He can be efficient in this
Speaker 1: league for a long period of time. And I'm concerned
Speaker 1: with the New England Patriots game, so I'm not looking
Speaker 1: at that. I know Sam is a really good quarterback
Speaker 1: and was playing really really well for US before he
Speaker 1: got injured against Miami, and I'm excited to see how
Speaker 1: he broke US is this week so that we can
Speaker 1: get them back out on the field. Thanks, thank you,
