1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Hey, Brian, how are you am? I good? How are

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: you good? Hey? I was wondering what led you back here.

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: I know you had a visit with the Jets and

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: had some conversations with other teams. What eventually brought you

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: back to New England to be part of this group

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. Yeah, I mean, I don't think I ever

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: really wanted to leave. It was just, you know, you

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: have to explore those options when you're a free agent,

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: and you know, just patience and timing of all of it.

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: You know, there was just some of those factors. So

11
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, just in the end, I ended up in

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: the right place, and I'm really happy about that, and

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: my wife and kids are really happy too. As someone

14
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: who has been through a lot of different situations, starter

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: back up on your way up, veteran guy. Now, how

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: do you view Mac and maybe do you feel like

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: you have some responsibility for two Mac to sort of

18
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: help him come along here if you will. Yeah, I mean,

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: I think I have a responsibility to the quarterback room

20
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: and the team in general. So I would say obviously

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: some of the most experience of the group in this

22
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: offense and then this team, so to impart that knowledge

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: is obviously a big part of you know, my role

24
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: here and but also to out and compete and push

25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: those guys, um, you know, every day. So it's been

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: fun obviously to get back with Cam and Stead and

27
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: then bring back along and get to know him. He's

28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: a great kid and he's working really hard. Thank you.

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: Next question Joe Kotaf holed by Philip Perry. Hey, Brian,

30
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: how are you good? How are you good? Mac Jones?

31
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? I know it's only been three

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: OTAs and now the mini camp, but his progression in

33
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: a short amount of time taking a lot in What

34
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: are your thoughts about mac Jones so far? Well, yeah,

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: like I said, you can tell he's working very hard. Um,

36
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: he's a smart kid. He asked a lot of questions,

37
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, so you know those are the right steps

38
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: to take and you just take it one day at

39
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: a time and let me and look, we've all been there,

40
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, whether it was my rookie year, um, you

41
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: know Stidham was a rookie. Cam obviously a different system,

42
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: but we're all rookies at some point and you got

43
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: to take it one day at a time, focus on

44
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: what you are learning. You know, when you have something finished,

45
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, you feel like you've you've kind of mastered

46
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: that and move on to the next and remember that,

47
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: but also you know, kind of keep learning on things

48
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: that are giving you difficult difficulties too. So, um, you

49
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: know you can see that he's eager to learn and

50
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: and is a hard worker. And a quick follow up

51
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: to that is on Cam, Um, what have you seen

52
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: from him now that he has the full off season

53
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: under his belt? Have you seen progression? What have you

54
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: seen out of his game? Yeah? Definitely. I mean I

55
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: think you see when when you're not hearing something for

56
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: the first time and you know it clicks a little

57
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: bit faster. You see that. Um, you know, just working

58
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: with the guys and like I said, to be back

59
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: and be a part of that group has been a

60
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Thanks. Next question Phil Perry fall about

61
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: Yan Steel. Brian Hope you're doing well. Um, I wanted

62
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: to ask you. I mean, you you've experienced being a

63
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: young player in this offense. Yeah, at that quarterback position.

64
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: What's the hardest part about learning everything that you're supposed

65
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: to be learning at that point in your career? Um,

66
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's all hard, really. I think when you

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: when you come in. It's it's hard because it's different

68
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: and it's a different terminology or diet playing with different

69
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: players that defenses are better, they have a lot more variation,

70
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of variables that go into it.

71
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: And I just remember just trying to take, you know,

72
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: only bite off as much as you can choose. If

73
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: you try to do too much and your your mind

74
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: gets cloudy, you know, that can really hinder you. So

75
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's you got to take it one step

76
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: at a time, one piece at a time, whether that's okay,

77
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: today I'm gonna master you know, the protection system, or

78
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: now I'm going to get to and I'm gonna know

79
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: what everybody's supposed to do on this play when I

80
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: call it. And then eventually when you feel good about

81
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, the offense, that's when you start analyzing the

82
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: defense and if they do this, I'm going to do that.

83
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: So it's a step by step process. And like I said,

84
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: being a quarterback, you have to basically responsible for everything

85
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: out there. And that's that's the hardest part is you

86
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: can't just get to learn, you know, okay, this plan,

87
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm running this one route. No, I have to know

88
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: everybody's you know, the all five routes, plus I have

89
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: to know how they're blocking this partection. I need to know,

90
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, if the defense brings this blitz, this is

91
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: my reaction. So there's a lot that goes into it,

92
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: and and you got to just take it, you know,

93
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: one step at a time, one day at a time. Thanks.

94
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: And two final questions, Ian Still and Chris Casper, Brian,

95
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: how are you hey? And good? How are you good?

96
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: Are you seeing yourself? Kind of approaching Mac a little

97
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: bit more and correcting him as opposed to maybe other

98
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks that have come through in years past. Not necessarily.

99
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not the quarterback coach, so that's not

100
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: really my responsibility. I think, if anything, I notice him

101
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: come and ask me a lot of questions and you

102
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: know there for me to give his to give my feedback.

103
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean I remember doing the same thing with Stidham,

104
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: who was that three years ago now so or Danny

105
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: Etling the year before that. I mean, for me, whether

106
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 1: it's Mac Jared cam Cam asked me a question today

107
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: about something, you know, that's my responsibility and as being

108
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: the most experienced quarterback in that room, is to kind

109
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: of share that wealth of knowledge and go from there.

110
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: Final question Chris Casper, Hey, Brian, nice to see you. Hey,

111
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: I just want to ask you when you spoke with

112
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick about coming back here, what were the conversations

113
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: like and what was your role because historically the team

114
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: has not kept four quarterbacks and obviously Mas a first

115
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: round pick, So what were those discussions like for you

116
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: as a player? And then I do have a quick

117
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: follow up after that, Well, I think those discussions are

118
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: personal between me and Bill, but I mean, obviously to

119
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: come back and and for me, obviously this is where

120
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to be, to be a part of that group,

121
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: to obviously help them with the knowledge that I have,

122
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: but also go out there and compete and push them

123
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: and really not only help them, help the offense and

124
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: help the team in any way that I can. And

125
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: just the follow up is you you sort of touched

126
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: on it there, but how different is the room without

127
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: Jet Fish as the quarterbacks coach there? Has Josh just

128
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: kind of slid back into that role or is it

129
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: different for you? I know you said you're not the

130
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach or here you're a quarterback to compete, but

131
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: without having someone assigned to that particular position. What has

132
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: it been like without Jed? Well, I would say, you know,

133
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: every year that I've been back since twenty seventeen. Um,

134
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, the first two years we had Jerry Schaplinsky,

135
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: and then that shifted over to Mick who we had

136
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: in the room, and then obviously Jed last year, and

137
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: then this year we have bo Heart agree who's in there,

138
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: who's helping out and doing a lot of stuff. And

139
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: obviously Josh has always been, you know, the guy who's

140
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: commanded that room and and led that room. So, um,

141
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, every year is different, Every coach is a

142
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: little bit different, and obviously each year my knowledge of

143
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: this offense gets a little bit, you know, better and more,

144
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: and and so it's I would say, it's a collaboration

145
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: with Josh leading the room, of all the guys in there, Um,

146
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: we all have different experiences, we all see things a

147
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: little bit differently, and to bring you know, another fresh

148
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: face in there with Bow and his experiences, it's been

149
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: good to have him and him in there as well.

150
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Thanks Brian, no problem, Thanks guys, Thank you Bryan m

151
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: HM
