1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: D has it gone duel? How are you doing well? Um? 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: I know he's not in your exact inside linebacker's position, 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: but he isn't the linebackers umbrella. Cheez Winovich was saying 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: yesterday that he was really working hard on becoming an 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: every down player. So just after a week one and 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: into the summer as well, how much did you see 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: him him improve on early downs over the cost of 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: course the last couple of months. Yeah, thanks for the question. 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: You know, Chase has done an excellent job this offseason 10 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: in the classroom. You know, although it was virtual, you know, 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: we would spend extra time together Steve himself and myself, 12 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: and he was just trying to learn the xs and 13 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: os and just the total scheme and not just what 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: he had to do as an individual. Um. You know, 15 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: he's always had the physical tools, you know, the speed, 16 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: the quickness and the power and also just uh, you know, 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: he's a hustler. You know, this guy's always flying around. 18 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: So Chase has done a great job for us and 19 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: look forward to seeing and continue to grow. Next question 20 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: Eric Group, followed by every morning, Dart, How are you 21 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: doing this morning? I'm doing well. How are you doing 22 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: all right? Um? I'm wondering with what your own offense 23 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: is doing is doing this year with Cam, how does 24 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: that help you guys prepare better for for a team 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: like Seattle with Russell Wilson. Yeah, you know, thanks for 26 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: the question. You know, we you know, for twenty years, 27 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: you know here with Tom, you didn't really get a 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: lot of the read option and read down stuff. So 29 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: it was definitely good to see during during camp. Uh, 30 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, see it every single day. And it's also 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: good to see those guys, you know, run the ball 32 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: like that against the Dolphins because that always helps the 33 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball as well when you see 34 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: that clock ticket down. But those guys give us good 35 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: looks each and every day going against the one offense 36 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: and you know, putting the one defense out there, those 37 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: guys have gotten a great look. So I would say 38 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: it definitely helps. At the same time, I would say 39 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: that you know, you know, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson 40 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: two different players, you know, two different players, and they 41 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: have their own strengths you know that are different. So 42 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: it's definitely gonna be a challenge this week and hopefully 43 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: the guys are ready to go. Next question, Evan Lazarre, 44 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: followed by Mike Greece. Adrea, I know that Terrence and 45 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: Adrian aren't in your group, so to speak, but they've 46 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: been playing a lot at linebacker, um, you know, over 47 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: their course here in New England or for a time 48 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: here in New England with Adrian. I just wondering what 49 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: it's been like for you and have they picked your brain? 50 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: Have they talked to you and sat in meetings and 51 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: stuff like that to get up to speed in those spots. 52 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: Thanks for a question. Yeah, we you know, as coaching 53 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: as a coaching staff, you know, we spend time with 54 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: all the players. You know, we pride ourselves on being versatile, 55 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: universatile defense, you know, linebackers playing defensive and defensive events, 56 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: playing linebacker, safety playing linebackers. So we all kind of 57 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: have a you know, we take a hands on approach 58 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: as a coaching staff. Those guys have done a great job. 59 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: And I'd like to say, you know, Adrian is a 60 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: linebacker at heart. You know, he just he just stopped 61 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: growing a little early. You're a little sooner than the 62 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: rest of us. What makes you say that? If I 63 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: could ask quickly, you know, he's just a hard He's 64 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: just a hard nosed Blair. You know, he loves to 65 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: run and tackle. I mean, you guys got a chance 66 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: to see that on the field of this past Sunday. 67 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: But he just loves to tackle and I can definitely 68 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: appreciate that. Thanks Grad. Next question my increase, followed by 69 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: Bob Soucie hadad always good to see you. Did you 70 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: see mine? Yep? Um. I know when you can only 71 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: take forty eight to the game, which is actually a 72 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: little more than usual, some tough decisions have to be 73 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: made with Josh. Can you just sort of take us 74 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: through sort of what you know, what led to him 75 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: on the outside looking in? Yeah, I'll be honest, Mike, 76 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: like those decisions are made way over my head, way 77 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: over my head. That's more of a question for coach 78 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: Belichick and uh and probably Nick, But that's the way 79 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: over my head. I just try to coach the guys 80 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: that are there. I appreciate the question though, And just 81 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: to follow up, just what has it been like working 82 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: with with Josh where it's been great, It's been great. 83 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: You know, he's a great athlete. He comes in each 84 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: and every day with a good attitude, ready to work, 85 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: and I definitely appreciate that. Next question Bob Socie, followed 86 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: by Beno. Thanks and good morning, Drod'. You've played against 87 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson early in his career in twenty twelve out 88 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: in Seattle, saw him in the Super Bowl four years 89 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: ago here, how how much has he evolved eleven of 90 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: the first fourteen plays, for instance on Sunday passing plays? 91 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: How much has he evolved as a quarterback in that time? 92 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: And when you've watched him through the years, I would 93 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: saying his overall just decision making. You know this guy 94 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: is He's making all the throws. And I would say 95 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: he's always been, to me at least a great deep 96 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: ball thrower. And I would put him up there against 97 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: anyone as far as being able to get the ball 98 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: down the field. And when you think of you know, 99 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: he's always been able to run, but just the decisions 100 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: and the way he you know, how accurate he is 101 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: on the run. I think his game has definitely at 102 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: a different level than anyone we've seen today. And he 103 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 1: thinks Brian Schottenheimer's offense in the past. It's only one game, 104 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: But do you see a different approach from Seattle based 105 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: on what they did in week one against Atlanta and 106 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: really a different philosophy from him. You know, I wouldn't 107 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: say a totally different philosophy. I would say those guys, 108 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: you know, obviously through the ball a lot more than 109 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: they have in the past. But at the same time, 110 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: you could tell those guys are very physical upfront. They 111 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: have a group of backs that can really get downhill 112 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: and break a lot of tackles. At the same time, though, 113 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: you gotta kind of play to the hot hand, you know, 114 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not in his mind. But at the 115 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: same time, like when Russell Wilson's out there throwing the 116 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: ball like that and that accurate, you want to keep, 117 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: you know, giving them the ball and giving them those opportunities. 118 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: So we'll see, you know, those guys are you know, 119 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: they do what they do. At the same time, they 120 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: are game playing team as far as Wrinkles are concerned. 121 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: So we'll see what we get when we play him 122 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: this week. Thank you, question Ben Bolan, followed by Phil Perry, 123 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: Good morning, job, thanks for doing this today. Hey Ben, 124 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Going back to the question about 125 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: how having a mobile quarterback like Cam can maybe help 126 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: you prepare for a mobile quarterback like Russell Wilson. In 127 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: the past, the Patriots would have to put the red 128 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: jersey on a wide receiver on the practice squad or 129 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: use one of the backup quarterbacks to maybe do that role. 130 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: So it was having a starter starting quarterback being like that, 131 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: Does that make it easier for the defense to prepare 132 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: it all? Yeah? You know, I'm not sure how how 133 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: much will you use Cam as far as practice is concerned. 134 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: You know, we haven't had our staff meeting to talk 135 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: about that, but it's definitely helpful. You know, a guy 136 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: who you know has played a lot of football at 137 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: a high level, if you can have him, you know, 138 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 1: kind of work the show team. I mean, that's great. 139 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: You know, when you look at just the history of 140 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, we've always had starters go over 141 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: and show the you know, the opposite side of look. 142 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: You know, I remember coming in as a rookie and 143 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel, Teddy Bruski, Rodney Harrison, all those guys were 144 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: on the show team and that's one way that we 145 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: get each other better. And I'm sure if the coaches 146 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: asked him to give us a look, he would definitely 147 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: be up to it, you know, him being a team 148 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: players a lot of Our final two questions will be 149 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: Phil Perry and Karen grey Drot. How's it going? Thank Phil. 150 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: You guys have used linebackers in the past. It looks 151 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: like to track quarterbacks, particularly mobile quarterbacks. You called it 152 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: spy or whatever you guys call it. How challenging is 153 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: that though? For somebody who plays that linebacker position, especially 154 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: when you're facing an athlete the caliber of Russell Wilson's 155 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: very it's very challenging, you know. And the thing about that, 156 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: I don't think you could just put it on one 157 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: person to to try to, you know, spy as you said, 158 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson all game. I think you have to use 159 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: multiple people, and you know, honestly, it all has to 160 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: tie together. You know, the coverage has to tie together 161 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: with you know, making sure we take care of the quarterback. 162 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see what we have in store. 163 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: Thank you. Last Karen Grigean morning, Gerard. How are you? 164 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm glad? How are you karing? Good? Thanks? Um.
