1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: You would think after a million weeks that twenty twenty 2 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: two now, Uh, sorry about that, all right? UM, I'm 3 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: curious when you have a quarterback like Allinger who's played 4 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: only one game, do you go back to his college 5 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: film or you know, how do you basically prepare for him? Well, 6 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: say he got a good number of snaps in the 7 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: preseason and then uh, you know from his previous years 8 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: in the league. So for us, you know, you just 9 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: look at all the snaps that he's played with the 10 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: Colts and uh, at the same time, uh, just what 11 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: their offense, their offensive philosophy and their coordinator's philosophy, or 12 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: I would say their head coaches philosophy. Um is and 13 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: you rely on that? Okay, thank you, thank you, and 14 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: I'll ask if anyone else has a question to please 15 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: raise the hand. Next question, Jim McBride, Hey, DeMarcus, are 16 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: you doing Jim good? How are you doing great? What 17 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: about yourself? Good? Thanks? So when I always talked a 18 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: lot about in the past, but I'm just wondering, you 19 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: know what you've seen from from this year? Um, I 20 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: know he's played a lot more staff snaps. Yes, Darren, 21 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: let me see who can we mute mute king, All right, 22 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: there we go. Um, so yeah, I just wanted to 23 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: see what you've seen from Detritch in his expanded role 24 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: this year. Maybe not an expanded role, but expanded amount 25 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: of snaps yep. Again, So I would say Dietrich is, uh, 26 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: what you see on the field is credited to his 27 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: hard work that he puts in every day. Um really 28 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: since he's been a you know, from his beginning parts 29 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: of his career as a Patriot. So his hard work, 30 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: his dedication and his preparation from a weekend a week 31 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: outstandpoint practice happens to him watching film, Um, that's really 32 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: showing up on game day, you know. So his hard 33 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: work in his preparation is credited to all the success 34 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: that he's having. And it's always great to see that 35 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: when you know somebody's who's earning, who's a person who's 36 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: put into work in the time to have success on 37 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: the on the field, it's always a joy. And I 38 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: question about yourself if I could. I was down earlier 39 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: this year in Chadnoga to work in a cold, strange story, 40 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: and a lot of people down there talked about you, 41 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: and then Bill touched on it earlier this season or 42 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: last week maybe that you know, how you kind of 43 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: came on his radar screen down in chad Nuga. I'm 44 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: just wondering if you could take us through that kind 45 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: of meeting process with Bill and how like it was 46 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: kind of a world when you went from there to 47 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: here pretty quickly.

Um? 88 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: Sorry if this is if any sort of repeating with 89 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: Jim Asks, I just joined um. But at a couple 90 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: of questions. One I wanted to ask, uh. Recently Bill 91 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: was talking about you and he mentioned that, Uh, he said, 92 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: you two met I think first at at Chattanooga. I 93 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: looked up and I know you were coaching at UT Martin. 94 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: So I didn't know if he just missed spoke, or 95 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: if you actually met at Chattanooga or just how you 96 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: guys first cross paths. Now he's correct at Chattanooga. I've 97 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: coached at UT marn two. So you know, in college ball, 98 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: you're trying to make your way up, especially in one 99 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: double A, trying to make your way up through the 100 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: coaching range. And started off at UT Martin and then 101 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: going to Eashow, Illinois, and then to Chattanooga. And that's 102 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: where Bill and I met in Chattanooga. So he's definitely 103 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: right by that statement. Uh. And again so I just 104 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: talked about that with UH. With the jam it's just Um, 105 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: when I was at Easha, Illinois, I had you know, 106 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: uh Brian Flores came to really uh work out one 107 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: of our players who was Calmu at the time, to 108 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: work him out for a pro day, introduce myself to him, 109 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: and got to know Brian and stayed in contact with 110 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: him throughout the year. And then I took another job 111 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: opportunity coaching outside linebackers at Chattanooga, and then that that spring, 112 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, as I took that job, so I was 113 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: kind of like three three months into the job at Chattanooga, 114 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: that's when Bill came to work out one of our players, 115 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: uh Keyante Davis at the time, Um, you know, work 116 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: working him out, and that's where I met Bill and 117 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to speak with him, and then you know, 118 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: everything else kind of fell in place from there, had 119 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: the opportunity to Entergy for the job and then uh 120 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: six years later on here so UM, so that that's 121 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: definitely a blessing, That's what I look at it, you know, um, 122 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: and and definitely grateful for for him great And I 123 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: was recently talking to uh, both Carl and Divine about you, 124 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: and both of them like the first word that both 125 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: of them mentioned was details. Yeah, that you're really really 126 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: detail oriented. Um, and I think Dietrich wise recently said 127 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: that you've done a really good job of like if 128 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: the players aren't feeling the game plan, you sort of 129 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: take those you take those considerations and make detail oriented adjustments. 130 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: So when you were coming up as a coach, were 131 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: there any coaches before you met Bill Belichick that really 132 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: sort of imparted on you the importance of details and 133 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: some of those methods. Yeah, I always you know, look 134 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: back at my mentor. He taught me a lot of things, 135 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: Kevin Peoples, Um, you know, he taught me. He taught 136 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: me a lot about the game, especially on the defensive 137 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: side of the ball, just about the fundamentals, the technique 138 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: of what we do upfront. M just just you know, 139 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: all those small things. And I think, you know, we 140 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: lose this game about players, and they're the ones that 141 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: out there that's playing, and so you want them to 142 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: be comfortable for whatever they're doing out there, their role, 143 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: their job. So you try to make sure that they're 144 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: good and they understand is that techniques the information they want, 145 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: and then you know to go out there and be successful. 146 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's about being a good teacher and about it, 147 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, about delivering the game plan and delivering it 148 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: to the players where they understand it and where they 149 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: can go out there, play fast and execute as well 150 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: as possible. So that's kind of like my philosophy of 151 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: it is making sure that we do a good job 152 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: of teaching it to the players being detailed and everything 153 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: we want from a game plan standpoint, from a fundamental standpoint, 154 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: from everything you know, so that way there's no stone unturned. 155 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: And you know, I take pride in if it's something 156 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: that I don't teach them, if it's something that we 157 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: don't practice as my fault, so it's not the player 158 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: as far as my fault. So that's where that's why 159 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: I really take take pride in that. And just one 160 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: more Yeah, I was talking to Crawl and he said 161 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: he thought you'd be a great defensive coordinator one day 162 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: and then I mentioned that to find god shout and 163 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: he was like, you know, forget that he'd be a 164 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: great head coach.
