1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Hey, coach, did Leonard Fournette practice today? No, he did

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: that practice. He was out there on the field. What

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: are you expecting him for Sunday. We're gonna know more

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: as a week goes on. I think, you know, our

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: guys were out there today, and you know, I told

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: him the same thing. I said, You're gonna be able

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: to see him. He's working out and stuff on the side,

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: and they'll be able to see him go. And you know,

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna wait and see how we can strinthen it

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: and see where he's at, you know, as later in

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: the week. Doug obviously Jalen Jalen rains. He made some

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: pretty high profile comments about many players across the league

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: this offseason. One of them was Rob Gronkowski. Had some

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: unflattering things to say about Gronk. Do you ever talk

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: to Jayalen about some of those comments? How do you

16
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: feel about what he said? Well, Jayleen, I have had conversations,

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: and obviously those conversations, you know, remained between me and

18
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: the player, and I said that before, but you know,

19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: I know that I have the greatest amount of respect

20
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: for Rob and knowing him a long time. Noah's dad family,

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: the whole nine yards and playing against him quite a bit,

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: and you know, we have a ton of respect for him.

23
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: He's probably one of the best guys, it's not the

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: best that's ever played the game at his position, and

25
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: we know what you know, either challenge um in many

26
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: different ways and what he can do. So that's that's

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: how that's how I feel, and that's how you know

28
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: our team feels. Are you worried that jail and kind

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: of put a target on you guys a little bit

30
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: by it by speaking out? I mean what it is,

31
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: what it is. We're old men and we got to

32
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: stand by what we say, and you got to speak

33
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: for yourself and be able to do that. So, you know,

34
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: we just got to go out there and play. Your

35
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: players talked a lot about the AFC Championship game over

36
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: the offseason. Um, do you want them to use that

37
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: as motivation or you're trying to get them to put

38
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: it to bed? How do you feel about that? Now?

39
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: This is our you know, the second game in the

40
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: first quarter for us, we're playing an AFC team that's

41
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: a heck of a football team, and we just got

42
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: to get ready and do the best job we can,

43
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, to prepare for him, and that's that's how

44
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: I've approached it with the team. So this isn't like

45
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: a revenge game for you guys. No, it's a different team,

46
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: a different year. In mentioning Rob Grenkowski, I think I

47
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: heard you say he might be one of the best

48
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: to ever really play that position. What is it about

49
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: his game that stands out to you? It's unbelievable. I mean,

50
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean matchup problem. I mean, you know, how do

51
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: you match up with him? How do you defend him?

52
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean you've seen it throughout the years, whether you

53
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: put two guys on him, he still goes up and

54
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: makes a play. You put one guy on him, you

55
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: put a smaller guy, a bigger guy. I mean, you

56
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: know through you know my time with Buffalo and then obviously, um,

57
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, we try to do many different things, and

58
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: we try to do different things here and the guy

59
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: just always comes up and he always makes plays. Like

60
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm curious if you watched the Super Bowl last year. No,

61
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: I haven't didn't, So have you did you get any

62
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: sense of and I'm sure you're seeing clips of it,

63
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: do you get any sense of the uh, the approach?

64
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: I haven't. I have not watched the Super Bowl, so

65
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: you're unaware of the Eagles taking a really no holds

66
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: barred approach to to beating the Patriots and not holding

67
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: back at all. That's that's it. I'm not I'm worry

68
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: about our team, so curious. This is a quick sidestep.

69
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady wasn't happy with the offensive performance of the

70
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: team last week, and yet they scored twenty seven points.

71
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: What does that say about the offense in New England?

72
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: What you saw from the game last week on film?

73
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: But I don't You're gonna have to ask them. I mean,

74
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: I have a ton of respect for him and there

75
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: and heck of a team. So you know, we know

76
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna get the best and we gotta

77
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: we gotta play well. I'm not really worried about how

78
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: they feel about themselves. Well, what impressed you about the

79
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: offense from last week on their part? Or impresses you

80
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: about the Patriots offense? There's a lot of things I

81
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: think you got. You know, I've always thought that offensive

82
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: line wise, they do a heck of a job. You know,

83
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: Coach Skarnecki is probably one of the best best ever

84
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: coach the position. I have a ton of respect for him.

85
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: I think that the Whiteouts. You know, obviously Chris Hogan

86
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: was with men. I know what he can do. Has

87
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: done a great job, you know, coming in there and

88
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: being around for a year, and you can sue he's

89
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: getting comfortable with it. You know. Obviously the two bad

90
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: uh have great skill and different sets, whether it's running, catching,

91
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And you have probably one of

92
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: the best tight ends in the game obviously probably you know,

93
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback that's played. And I mean that sincerely.

94
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: Tommy's a you know, I've seen him for a long time,

95
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: and um, you know, he's he's a great competitor, and

96
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: the guys want a ton of football games, and he's

97
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: very difficult to be Doug. You never watch the Super Bowl? No,

98
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: not not even live. No, there's like over one hundred

99
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: million people in the country that watch the Super Bowl. No,

100
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: but you know, I don't want to ask me. I

101
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: got a question about if I saw a coach last year.

102
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: Someone asked me about that I watched coach coffin Super

103
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: Bowls and I'm like, no, sou I don't know why

104
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: everyone doesn't believe that. You never watch it live. No,

105
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: I'm usually so pissed off, I can't I can't handle

106
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: it was that even more so because of the you

107
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: guys got so close there last year. No, I just

108
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: I just I just always said, you know, hey, listen,

109
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm I just I just don't watch it. So I

110
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: watch enough tape journey here. So, like, what was the

111
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: last super Bowl you did watch? All right? Probably when

112
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: I probably when I wasn't coaching. I was allowed to gamble,

113
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: probably when I was like twelve. But I have a

114
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: little money on it. You guys like that, I probably

115
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: get to get investigat watching the Super Bowl wouldn't help

116
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: you guys prepare for this week's game. I think our

117
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: defense and offensive coach is obviously have watched it. Um

118
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: don't you get to uh two, I mean four, Nat

119
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: and the Elder and the two great backs, different different

120
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: kinds of skill sets. Can you just speak to them,

121
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: speak to them a little bit about what they bring

122
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: to the team. Yeah, I think I think Lenn, you know,

123
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Leonard obviously has has a lot. He's you know, he's

124
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: obviously a little bit bigger than than UM, than TJ.

125
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 1: But TJ has been our start, you know, starting running

126
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: back here before I was the head coach and and

127
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: done a nice job. And he filled in last year

128
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: and did a good job when when Lennond wasn't playing.

129
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: So you know, we don't feel like he's a guy

130
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: that can't carry the load. And then obviously, you know,

131
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Corey's a guy that, um, you know, probably should have

132
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: got him a little bit more reps last week. You know,

133
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: we had a couple of things in for him, but

134
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: you know, we feel comfortable with him. So you know,

135
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: we feel we got three good guys and we feel

136
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: like they're all be ready as a as an old

137
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: line guy. What do you think that Trump Brown, uh,

138
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: you know provides for the Patriots left tackle there. He

139
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: seems like he's kind of a unique body to be

140
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: playing that position. Yeah, I don't. I don't. I mean no,

141
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean I think he had a lot of things

142
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: that I know I would always look for. You know,

143
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's got size, he's got he's got

144
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: good feeds, he's got long on um, you know, he

145
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: can you know, really crush in and run game and

146
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: stuff to get around him in the past game. So

147
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think he's played extremely well.

148
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: I think the best part about all those five guys

149
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: play so well together and they always have. I mean

150
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: you can you can look at all the different groups

151
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: that they've had. The three inside guys a solid you know,

152
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: with Tuny, Andrews and and Shack. I mean, those guys

153
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: do a good job. And Marcus Kanna has been around

154
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: a while. Um whether I don't know if he's gonna

155
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: play or not, but he's good. If he's not, If

156
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't, you know, probably Wattle go in there. And

157
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean they do a good job. I mean, there's

158
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: no one really, no one does a better job than

159
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: than than Dante. I mean, I really think I have

160
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: the utmost respect from him, and um, you know, even

161
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: someone that I've always tried to get with and learn

162
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: from and and try to shadow him at the combine

163
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: and I can't say enough good things about him. Dog,

164
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,119
Speaker 1: How much, if at all, will you guys prepare for

165
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: some of the newer players the Patriots just acquired the

166
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours or so. It's the same thing,

167
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: I think, you know, you know, the probably if they're

168
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: out there, we've got to be ready for him. Um,

169
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's just you know, trying to keep you know,

170
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: to focus on ourselves and what we have to do

171
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: and you know how well we have to play and

172
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: and and and really that's what our focus is about.

173
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: We're trying not to, you know, um, hurt ourselves and

174
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: give ourselves an opportunity against a team that you know

175
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: rarely makes mistakes and the world coach and you know

176
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: they'll be they'll be ready to play. And and that's

177
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: really been a message to our team. Dog. What are

178
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: the primary differences, if any of that you see between

179
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: the defense that played Houston on Sunday and the defense

180
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: you saw from the Patriots last year. I can't. I mean,

181
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, we keep going back. It's just

182
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: hard for me because I'm I'm more I'm probably more

183
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: knowledgeable or the date to put myself to date of

184
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: what they did last week. And I think that, you know,

185
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: the one thing I've always admired is the guys up front.

186
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: I think you know, from you know, Trade Flowers to

187
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: you know, whether it be Clayton or whoever's in there

188
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: on the ends, whoever's playing there, Lawrence guy. I mean,

189
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: those guys are just I mean all day suckers now.

190
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean they worked their butt off and and I

191
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: think Malcolm Brown's probably the most underrated guy. I mean,

192
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: he's really done a heck of a job. He was

193
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: a load for us last year. Um, I think he's

194
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: a load again this year. Me and that he's a

195
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: three down player. He's plays really well. I think the

196
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: linebackers are you know, they're very they're excellent, they hold

197
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: a point real well, they're downhill, they're they're they're good

198
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: in coverage. Um, you know, and then they're a lot

199
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: of different personnel groups. So you know, they've got a

200
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: lot of guys playing and we've got to be ready

201
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: for it. I think that you know, obviously Chung and

202
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: mccordy have been that back there. We know them. Obviously,

203
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: Gilmore I know well from Buffalo. I think he's a

204
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: great player. And then um, you know Eric Rows out there.

205
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: So you know the combination of all those guys and

206
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: the different guys they play, you know, preay great challengers

207
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: for us. Tell tell you, I got to be honest,

208
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm still intrigued by the Super Bowl thing. Uh. I know,

209
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: you got you gotta you gotta let it go. Man.

210
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: So I'm curious about the whole well, the whole country

211
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: gathers for parties and stuff? What do you do during

212
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? I usually just I mean, is this

213
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: is this on the record or off the record? Whatever

214
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: you want off the record. I just I just, you know,

215
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: sit down and drink some beer and be miserable. So

216
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: like you don't go bowling or you don't have like

217
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: an activity or anything. You just did at home and

218
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: don't watch the Super Bowl? What makes you think a guy?

219
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: Are you saying because I'm fat that I bowl? Is

220
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: every I like bowling because I'm a fat guy? You

221
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: said it? Not me thin. I can't go out there

222
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: for a job. Maybe I go out for a run.

223
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: If I go out there and run a marathon, you

224
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: don't think I'm that guy? You tell me. I left

225
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: the question open ended for you. I'm not that guy. No,

226
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: I just you know, I just I can't. You know,

227
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, when you're inspired to go there and you're

228
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: not there something that you know, it's it's a you know,

229
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: I just don't want to go through the whole season

230
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: again in my mind of you know, and not being there. Yeah,

231
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: that's fair. I mean, that's that's that's that's the truth.

232
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: Even when I was a player and even when I

233
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: as a coach, you know, and obviously you guys know

234
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: we get tickets, you know what I mean. I just

235
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: I just never you know, we even went out of

236
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: the player we'd always say, look, we're never going until

237
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: we go, And I just kind of always that's always

238
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: stuck in my mind when I was a player. So

239
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully one day that's what we'll work for,

240
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: and then it's not, you know, then then I'll probably

241
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: start watching. So do you have any good stories about

242
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: Chris or Stefan from their time in Buffalo? You know,

243
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: I really know those guys are so business type approaches.

244
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I remember the one thing about Stefan,

245
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, when we were there early on, I just

246
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: remember how much he wanted to be that he wanted

247
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: to be the best, like you know, all the little

248
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: things and really wanted to know everything inside and out.

249
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: And um, you know the way he practice, in the

250
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: way he played, and how competitively was and I mean, shoot,

251
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: we played with him. He had he had one hand basically,

252
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, he had hurt his wrist and he wounded

253
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: up out there. He was playing his big butt off

254
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: and just as highly competitive kid. And you know with Chris,

255
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: Chris's stories along you know, a long road, you know,

256
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: one of those under you know, on the dog type stories.

257
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: But you know he was whether it was you know,

258
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: we were drafting guys or bringing guys in, I mean,

259
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: nobody was going to beat him out. I mean he

260
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: was just smart. He could play all the positions. Um,

261
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's uh, it's not unusual. Um

262
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: why they are where they are right now and how

263
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: they wound up there. They're both you know, really good

264
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: football players, are both really smart and really team conscious guys.

265
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: I mean that coach Blake doesn't look like you're prototypical

266
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback. Are you ever surprised at just how mobile

267
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: he is? Yeah? I think I think I said that

268
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: many times. I've always said that's probably the one aspect

269
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: of his game that that gets overlooked. You know, his

270
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: ability to you know, to run or scramble. Um, you know,

271
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: he's really helped us, you know quite a bit, uh,

272
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, hitting those things. And you know, just last

273
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: week obviously coming out of the red, coming out of

274
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: the backed up you know, he had the big run

275
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 1: and kind of flip the field position, which is a

276
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: big play in the game. So I think that's one

277
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: part of his game that that that people tend to overlook.

278
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about from media. I don't. I don't think

279
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: coaches that we play obviously overlook at fantaste dog the

280
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: Patriots last week, they were pretty consistent in who they

281
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: played in the back five when they were a nickel,

282
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: but the front six with the linebackers and defensive lineman,

283
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 1: they buried them a lot. Is that a challenge for

284
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: a coach when you don't know who they're going to

285
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: play up front defensively and how to prepare for it. Well,

286
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: I think I think the players that after, you know,

287
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: either run into those zones or block those types of players,

288
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: or pressure with those players, you know. I think it's

289
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: one of those things that you just got to make

290
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: sure that you do your work. You know it's gonna

291
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna be pushed, you know, not just when you're

292
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: in the building, from whatever time you get here till

293
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: when you leave. It's about hey, when you go home,

294
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: putting in the extra time. I'm looking at looking at

295
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: those things, getting a good feel, um you know, of

296
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: these those players, because you know, not everybody's the same,

297
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: and you've got to look at everyone's strengths and weaknesses

298
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: and look at yourself and figure out. You know, hey,

299
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: if I got to block this guy, if I got

300
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: to run again, you know, cover versus this guy, you

301
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: know what am I gonna do? You know how am

302
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: I going to be able to win? So I think

303
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: that's that's part of the game. And let's that's what

304
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,440
