1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Bill, we got you all set here U three and

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: oh and a terrific start to the season. I do

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: want to start with something I know that you have

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: kind of avoided. You don't want to talk much about it.

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: The only thing I would say about the Antonio Brown

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: situation is you obviously brought him in thought he could,

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: as you always say, help your football team. The way

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: it ended, are you disappointed and the fact that it

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: did not work out? Yeah, well, I appreciate the fact,

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: Blendon that you want to ask those questions. You're welcome, Bill,

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: But really we've moved on. We at leased a statement

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: about it. It It didn't work out, and uh, you know,

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: moved on the game against the Jets and now we're

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo. So that's really where my attention and

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: focus is going forward. I'm sure you'll appreciate my question too. Then, Um,

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: do you have any regrets in signing this guy in

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: the first place? Yeah? I think we just talked about that.

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: But I do appreciate you asking the question. I'm sure

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: you a lot more of them, Thanks, Bill, Yeah, it's

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: so common. Well, I guess actually going out too, So

21
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: I should all get to save treatment. Was it difficult?

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: Was it harder for you guys to run the offense

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: that you expected and knowing that you practice with them

24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: all week and then you didn't have them out there

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: for Sunday. Yeah. Well look, that's as you know, Christian,

26
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: that's part of the game. Thing's gonna happen sometimes in

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: the game. On the first I can play the game,

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: whatever it is. So Um, you always have to prepare

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: for contingencies, and authority team did a good job of that.

30
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: But you appreciate my question absolutely. Okay, there you go.

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: We get the stare today. All right, you're three, you know,

32
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: and the defense has been dominating to this point. We've

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: seen some good defenses with this team in the past,

34
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: but this one seems a lot different. Is it? Is

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: it different? I know it's only three games, but is

36
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: it different to you? And that you seem to have

37
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: strength at every level of that defense and they all

38
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: seem to be so cohesive playing together. Yeah. I think

39
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: our players have done a good job of communicating and

40
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: working together in different combinations, whether it's in the run

41
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: front or or sort of pass coverage or pass rush

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: or whatever happens to base. So Um, we have a

43
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: lot of smart guys. They're good communicators. They're very instinctive players,

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: and you know, they alert each other things, communicate things,

45
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: and I don't think they've worked well together. You know.

46
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: I think people watch watch the team and the last

47
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: especially the last three games, and they just I think

48
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: they think it's really easy to go out there and

49
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: put you know, thirty or thirty seven on some of

50
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: these teams. And I would say, I know, for me

51
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: looking at it, I would say it's I would be

52
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: more proud of this one. With the fact offensively, how

53
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: I feel like how limited you guys were at the

54
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: receiver position, the tight end position, the fullback position. Was

55
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: it harder for you guys to game plan knowing that

56
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: you had a limited options based on bodies availability? Or

57
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: did you guys have to scrap some of your plays

58
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: and still get through that game knowing that you couldn't

59
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: didn't have everybody on the field. Yeah, well, it was

60
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: pretty much the same group we played Pittsburgh with. You know,

61
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: Lacost didn't play in the Pitts or a game. It

62
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: was active, but it didn't play. And of course James

63
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: White missed because of the you know, the situation that

64
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: he had no Harris took his spot, but Bolton played more. Um,

65
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: so obviously you know James White wasn't there, but that's

66
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, and then James Delan I don't know if

67
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: this would have been a you know how much that

68
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: fullback would have been a part of this game play

69
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: with but though you know Edelman getting hurt and then

70
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: missing the game, and then oh but Edlman's there. Yeah,

71
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: I mean he played half the game. He played the

72
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game. Gordon played the Pittsburgh game. Doors that played

73
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh game. So you know, we had a lot

74
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: of the same people we had two weeks ago. And

75
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: what is it about with you guys and babies? I

76
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: don't know. Did you find out for anybody else? Yeah?

77
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: Did you know? Is there another one in the pipe?

78
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: He's not having kid? Is he? Yeah? It's done some

79
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: post Super Bowl celebrations. Yeah, right, yes, there really? Did

80
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: he have his? Did they? Is there a celebration in

81
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: the works? Is the baby has a baby arrived? Yeah?

82
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: We've had the roster okay, all right, we got to

83
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: throw the roster. Yeah, Shelly and games this week, so

84
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: we're really we're pumping them out. So Josh Gordon, Um,

85
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, the first quart we're just talking about I

86
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: think one catch on five targets, but in and out

87
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: with the injuries, a lot of people saying this is

88
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: like his big moment right for the Patriots, played through

89
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries, bodies down. Um, just what he

90
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: brought to that team in that second half, knowing a

91
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: guy like Julian was out, He's dealing with a lot

92
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: of things. Was that a big moment for Josh and

93
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: on your team? I thought, I think Josh had a

94
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: consistent year for us. Started light mid August, but you know,

95
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: he's been pretty consistent on a daily basis and in

96
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: the games that he's played in from the Giants preseason game,

97
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, through the three regular season games. So um,

98
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: it was just going out there every day, working on

99
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: his timing, working on his individual fundamentals in game conditioning

100
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: and so forth. I thought that showed up the last

101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks that you know, we played. It was

102
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: hot in Miami, and it was challenging yesterday with the

103
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: heat and our number of snaps and so forth. But

104
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's doing a good job. Stephen Gastowski

105
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: us the first point after attempting and the the second one

106
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: was just inside the right uprights. I know last week

107
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: we talked about this with Miami and he's had some

108
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: difficulty for some reason down there in Miami. Is it

109
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: part of the operation. Is that because Bailey is now,

110
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: is he's in there holding? Does that have anything to

111
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: do with it? Just seems like he's having He's just

112
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: not the same guy right now kicking the point after

113
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: a field goals. Yeah, Honestly, I think Steven said, well, well, um,

114
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, watch him every day in practice kickoffs. He's

115
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: at the ball extremely well all year. You had a

116
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: couple that I'm sure he'd like to add back that. Um,

117
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: I think he'll he'll make going forward, So hopefully that'll

118
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: be the case. But I think overall is consistency and

119
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: the operation and his accuracy has been it's really been good.

120
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 1: I understand we've had a couple of miskicks and games.

121
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: I see that, but you know, a day to day basis,

122
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: you just don't. You don't see that very often, so

123
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: you're not worried about it. Well, I mean, look, we

124
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: all have to perform well in game situations. That's what

125
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: we're that's what our job is. But obviously on a

126
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: day to day basis and other than the one kick yesterday. Again,

127
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: his kickoffs were have been much more consistent than they

128
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: were last year, and I thought his other kicks were good. So,

129
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, Steve's a professional lead works very hard at it.

130
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: I think we have a good operation with Joe and

131
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: Jake and hopefully we'll hit him going forward, you know. So,

132
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: I think we were all surprised when Stidhon got in

133
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: the game, especially after the game against Miami, when you

134
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: guys had a huge lead, Brady stayed in the game

135
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: and you have less of a lead against um Um

136
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: the Jets and he goes into the game. What when

137
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: did that process thought process to play him in the game?

138
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of circumstances involved there. But yeah,

139
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: in the end, we you know, we had a couple

140
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: of turnovers that resulted in uh, you know, two scores

141
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: for the chats and you know turnovers or we know

142
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: coll say they are and just and afford those. So

143
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: it's got to do a better job, got a coach

144
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: better and play better and avoid those. Did he know

145
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: he was gonna get a shot if if there was

146
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: a if the lead was big enough. Yeah, I don't

147
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: think we ever talked about that Christian and the history

148
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: of my coaching. Just be ready when you don't know. Yeah, like,

149
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do when we're I mean,

150
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: when we're up thirty. Yeah, yeah, you tell me when

151
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: we've had that conversation. Um, can I get back to

152
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: you on it? Yeah? Never so. Um. Matthew Slaters always

153
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: has an impact, you know, special teams. But that that

154
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: play in the fourth quarter, was that one of the

155
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: best plays you've seen. I mean, catching the ball out

156
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: of midair over his shoulder and tapping it back and

157
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: keeping it in the field of plays a tremendous play.

158
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: It look, it's hard to catch pumps when you're standing

159
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: underneath them catching them and to be running full speed,

160
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: turn around, find the ball and be able to locate

161
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: it and stay out of the end zone and keep

162
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: the ball in the field of play as tremendous play. Well,

163
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: when you when you think about special teams players like um, um,

164
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: like Slater, is there a place for guys like them?

165
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: And let's just say in the Hall of Fame discussion

166
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: because we were talking about it after the game and

167
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker comes up. You have your punters like gray

168
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: guy that could have a lot of attention. But how

169
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: hard is it? Is it for guys like Steve Tasker,

170
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: who Jim Kelly says probably deserves to be in the

171
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and the other guys like Slater who

172
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: are usually gunners on the kickoff or team, uh, you know,

173
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: punt team that maybe don't get as much I guess notoriety,

174
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: but are definitely making a difference. Yeah. No, I think

175
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: that's a great question, Christian. Unlike some of the other

176
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: ones you've asked, you know what, you didn't like that

177
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: one about that we didn't get Why didn't you get

178
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: into the game? Um? But yeah, there really is no

179
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: criteria um, in the Hall of Fame selection then I'm

180
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: aware of you have to do this or you have

181
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: to have done that or whatever. So it's just if

182
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: the voters vote you in, you're in. If they don't,

183
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: you don't do you think? Do you think? Um? I think,

184
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. You can make an argument for it,

185
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: but you definitely ask the people who are voting on that,

186
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's a different that you know whether

187
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: they would vote for it or not. I don't know,

188
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: ask people that are on that panel. All right, so

189
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: you've already looked at the film of every one of

190
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: these games. I circle back to Jamie Collins because in

191
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: three games he is just playing off the charts. He

192
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: just seems to be everywhere, yet he seems to be

193
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: totally under control. Am I missing something? What are you

194
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: seeing on videos? This just an exceptional player that's playing

195
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: at a really high level. Now, yeah, Jamie has been

196
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: very productive for us. So Kenny's a versatile players, got

197
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: a great skill set, and he's very instinctive. He finds

198
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: the ball and it makes a lot of impact plays,

199
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: whether it's rushing the pass or defending the past, playing

200
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: his responsibility in the run, or making a negative play

201
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: through the line of scrimmage in the running game. He's

202
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: been there all that. Playing the punt team yesterday stepped up.

203
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: That was a big in a big situation for all

204
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: of us. You know, we had several guys, you know,

205
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: linebackers playing on the punt team, Bentley moving to pp

206
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: with Nate out, we had to move some pieces around.

207
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: So Jamie has been a very dependable, consistent and um,

208
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, great player for us, you know all year,

209
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean since he got here, and whoever it was April.

210
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: You know, in the past, we've talked about rushing the quarterback.

211
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: A lot of people have criticized the Patriots defense they

212
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: don't risk a quarterback an awful lot. There seems to

213
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: be much different approach this year. Is it because of

214
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: the personnel, because you guys are just attacking the quarterback

215
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: on a regular basis? Yeah, well, it's you know, again,

216
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: some of that depends on the situation, Glenn, as you know,

217
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: you know, but we've been fortunate, we've been ahead in

218
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: a couple of games, and that's you know, change them. Yeah,

219
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: it's made in a one dimensional game. That's a little

220
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: bit different then, so you know, each game has its

221
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: own dynamics, as its own game plan, as its own matchup. So, um,

222
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: you we'll just see how it goes from game to game. Coach,

223
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: You've had some you know, great cornerbacks here in New England,

224
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: obviously hall of famer and Ty Law probably a future

225
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, Darrel Reeves. Is it fair to play

226
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: Stephan Gilmore in that class with the way he's playing

227
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of years for you. Yeah, stuff's a

228
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: very good player and he can match up against really

229
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: just about any any receiver. Uh, fast guys, quick guys,

230
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: big guys. Guys are playing inside guys to play outside. Um,

231
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: he's got a great skill set. He's very focused and

232
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: he has a great concentration. Um, you know, like Rivas did.

233
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: Rivers could really lock in and and just you know,

234
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: press a guy and get his hands on him and

235
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: and you know, be very competitive on route. So it's

236
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of a similar style of play. But

237
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: steffs Long and Uh, I thought the play made yesterday

238
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: was a was it great play? Um? It was right

239
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: in front of me, and I think I just think

240
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: he landed out of bounds on the catch. That was

241
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: very close play, but just his ability to turn it

242
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: just catch the ball and um, you know, be very

243
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: close to being in bounds. I thought that was, you know,

244
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: an outstanding play. He's got a lot of them that

245
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: that was a good one. Is he more in the

246
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: revs category as far as trash because I know Ty

247
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: Long to keep to leave those guys couldn't be quiet,

248
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: but this guy seems pretty quiet for that position. Usually

249
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: they talk trash. I think quiet as an adjective you

250
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: could use for stuff. Yes, like yeah, some other guys

251
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: around the league there's not snatching chains off people's you know. So. Um.

252
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: During the telecast, they were talking about how Brady's play selection, like,

253
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: he likes the great out his plays, the options that

254
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: he has in whether he likes or not, and if

255
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: he gives him a has to be like a seven

256
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: or higher and if it isn't, that he doesn't want

257
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: him in there. Are you ever involved in you know

258
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: what plays are best or and if you are, has

259
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: there ever been a situation where Brady loved to play

260
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: and you hated it and you guys had to have

261
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: a I guess a debate on whether or not it

262
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: should work or they should keep it in or not.

263
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm not familiar with anything you're talking

264
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: about there. Well, you didn't watch the game, so that's

265
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: that's what it was during the telecast. Yeah, but look, absolutely,

266
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: when you go through the game plan with your quarter back,

267
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: if there's a play that he's not comfortable with, like

268
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: we have, it's not like we just have three plays

269
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: so and we're down down to two. You know, we

270
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of options and so if there's a

271
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: play that the quarterback doesn't like, um, then we find

272
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: another play that's easy sometimes they'll question it and and

273
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: you'll go over it with him, whether it's Tom or

274
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: whoever it is, and go over with and say, look,

275
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: here's are trying to do. Or it's just really just

276
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: for this situation. Maybe he's concerned about another situation and

277
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: you would say, yeah, I would be concerned about that too.

278
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: That's really not when we'd be looking to call it.

279
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Here's when we're looking to call it. Okay, that makes sense,

280
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: or or maybe it's just I just don't feel comfortable

281
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: with that play, no problem, get rid of it. Yeah, absolutely,

282
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: and vice versa. There's plenty of times when we run

283
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: plays on Thursday or Friday, practice Saturday, come in there

284
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: and say, you know, we're not this is just where

285
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: he's not going to do it this week. There's too

286
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: many just doesn't look good, or hey, if they do

287
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: this and it's just too hard, let's let's concentrate on

288
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: something else. So you know, you've seen us do that before.

289
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: That's not uncommon at all. In fact, it's common the

290
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: same thing on defense. Yeah, there's some at the end

291
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: of the week that we don't think. Let's go to

292
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: the players say hey, coach, we just I'm sure about

293
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: this one. That's too much communication. Not sure if we

294
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: have this great get rid of it. You know, we'll

295
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: call something else. Let's call something we're confident in. Gunner.

296
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: Rolschewski has been very good so far this year. Young

297
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: player obviously getting his first NFL play. Muffed up a

298
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: punt return yesterday. Okay, it turned into a touchdown. You

299
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: put him right back out there, kind of an eleven

300
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: yard returned the next time out there. Now, I know

301
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: the score was still you know, you had a big,

302
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: sizeable lead. But what goes into the mindset of whether

303
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: you get him back out there or whether you use

304
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: somebody else that you can depend on their good hands? Yeah, well,

305
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: I feel like Gunner has good hands, and he's handled

306
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: the ball very well for us, so you know, well, well,

307
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we can't afford too many of those

308
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: in any position, but you know, I have confidence in him.

309
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: I think the entire team does. And he's handled the

310
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: ball well for us in practice, in the preseason games,

311
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: in the regular season games. So look, we're all going

312
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: to have those plays and hopefully we can get past

313
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: it and move on. You guys have gone up against

314
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: Levion Bell a lot in the past, and you guys,

315
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: really you're seendn't too much. I was eighteen carries thirty

316
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: five yards. Is it when you go up against a

317
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: guy like that? Is it just discipline for your defenders

318
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: because it seems like he just stops and the guy's

319
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: got to stay, you know, where they're supposed to be. Well,

320
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: he only slows down that there's no hole. If there's

321
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: any place to go through, he's he's through it. Um.

322
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: You know, I thought the run he had on the

323
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: little checkdown catch out in the flat kind of in

324
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: front of our bench, Um, three or four guys hit him.

325
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: He has great balance. I was able to you know,

326
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: stay spin on content, stay up, spun on contact and

327
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, picked up a couple of extra yards and um.

328
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: So you know, he's a great back and he's very

329
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: very good in all situations, close quarters, tough yards. The

330
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: fourth and one he picked up against Buffalo and the

331
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: opener was a you know, it was a great run. Um,

332
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: probably as a good one yard run as you're gonna see.

333
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: So I think he can. He can do it. All

334
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: takes team defense and good tackling and um, you know

335
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: it was He's a challenge. Yeah, I want to do

336
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: the question of the week. But real quick, Buffalo, since

337
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: you guys are playing of their three, No, you're three. No,

338
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: what's been the biggest change that you've seen from this

339
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: team as opposed to last year, especially specifically Josh Allen

340
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: ran a lot this year? Maybe not so much. Oh

341
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: he ran last year too, No, I know last year

342
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: he ran a lot. Yeah, he's run this year too.

343
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: He's made a lot of plays with his legs, not

344
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: just running but also design runs are scrambles both, yeah, yeah, both.

345
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: They run some quarterback sneaks with them, quarterback draws. Um,

346
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: and he can he can gain a lot of He's

347
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: a running back. If he gets out in space, he's

348
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: a run back. He's not he's not a quarterback out there.

349
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: He's a hard guy at tackle. He's fast, and he's

350
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: he's very strong. So, um, you know he's a big challenge. Look,

351
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: they've won three close games. You know they've played well

352
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: under pressure. Um, you know that's that's a mark of

353
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: a good team that has a lot of poison and presence.

354
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: All Right, well we see if I can do a

355
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: better job with this question since I screwed up the

356
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: other ones. Uh So, driver of the week. What do

357
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: you think? What was your I mean maybe it's maybe

358
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: it's not the best one. Which one did you enjoy

359
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: the most? First three? Yeah, I thought the first drive

360
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: was you know, it was a good drive and started

361
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, that's right. It's a ninety yard or started

362
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: off with a good catch and run played by Bolden,

363
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: you know, broke a couple of tackles and Julian did

364
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: the same thing, and we had to hit the pass

365
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: to Izzo on third down on play action. I thought

366
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: Ryan made a good run, you know, gained some yards

367
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: in the open field and uh, you know finished the

368
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: run kind of ran over may so um, and we

369
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: got the ball in the end zone on the sweep

370
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: to Sony and so it was a good good drive

371
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: that um. You know, we moved the ball on and

372
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: gave us the lead and we were able to play

373
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: good defense get the ball back to it again. You know,

374
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: we had three scores there with playing good compliment or football,

375
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: good good field position, um, deep stops and you know,

376
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: offensive finishing drives in the end zone. So it was

377
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: a good start to the game. But that first drive

378
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: was big. That's it. That's it. The one more thing

379
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: on Buffalo because you talked about the offensive defensively, defensively,

380
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know whether you did it again. Defensively, they

381
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: seem to offer a challenge for you, especially when we've

382
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: been talking about with the offensive line using some different

383
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: bodies up there. They're very good defensively, and they they've

384
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: always given us problems on defense. There have been times

385
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: where we've moved the ball but still haven't been able

386
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: to score a lot of points or a good red

387
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: area defense. Are very good situational defense. Um. You know,

388
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: they have a good mixture of pressure and zone and

389
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: man and man coverage with very good players. They can rush,

390
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: they can cover, they can run and tackle. Um. So

391
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: I think they've really improved their defense each year with

392
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, new players and continuity with the players that

393
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: they've kept. So this you know that they've always given

394
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: us trouble defensively. How crazy is that place? When the

395
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: bus rolls in up there in Buffalo? Little crazy? Yeah,

396
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: we get a real nice greeting from the Buffalo offense.

397
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: Bill see Bill's Mafia from about two miles away. It

398
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: starts minute a long way before you even get into

399
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: the park, a lot before they start greeting us. So

400
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's kind of like that in Route

401
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: one though. And I was a couple of years when

402
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't coaching with the Patriots and we came in here.

403
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: That was, you know, it's quite a welcome you get

404
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: there coming down Route one. Animals and Fox Bro. Yeah.

407
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: to an active game plan on and off the field.
