1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Bill, How are we doing today? Good? Kristen Lou, how's 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: it gone? Good? So? What do you do on bye 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: weekend when you get a few days off? Do you 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: get totally away from this and get your head absorbed 5 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: in something other than football? What do you sit there 6 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: and start going over jets film? What do you do? Yeah? 7 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: A little bit of both. That's good, Uh, get ahead 8 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 1: a little bit, um, But it's also good to forget 9 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: about football for a few hours. Can you decompose? Hour? 10 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, can you decompose? You're in the 11 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: middle of the football season. It seems to me like 12 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: your head is in football? Football? Football? How the hell 13 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: do you decompose for even a couple of days. Yeah, well, 14 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: it's it's not that hard. Yeah, really, Yeah, there's definitely 15 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: a saturation level. It's good, too, good to back it 16 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: off for a little bit and then then get refreshed. 17 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: Did you get away for a couple of days? Uh, 18 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: a little bit? Maybe? Good day? Yeah, I know, I know. 19 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: Any times a good time for a bye week. But 20 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: I used to love the bye week when it when 21 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: it came after the eighth game, like that halfway point, right, 22 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: and you guys have six what six games left in 23 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: the regular season, where really guys are getting healthy at 24 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: the right time. I mean, is that the ideal scenario 25 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: for you? You know, it was having like I guess, 26 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: I guess I would be a short push, right, um, 27 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: because I remember one time we had it that for 28 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: the second game when it was in Seattle. It was 29 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: a nightmare. Yeah, well, they gave to us early there 30 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: in two thousand and one, they gave it to us 31 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: the last week, that's right. Have you ever seen a 32 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: team who has it like I want to say the 33 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers one year had it. Their first week 34 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: was a bye week like years ago, so they went 35 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: sixteen straight when right out of camp had a bye 36 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: week and kind of defeat. We do you have any 37 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: control and the like? No, they just the only the 38 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,639 Speaker 1: only control you have is if you play in the 39 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: Europe game, then you get it the following week. So 40 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: when we played, uh, Tampa and the Rams in London, 41 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: we had it the following week. Remember that was Hurricane 42 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: Sandy one year and uh But you're right, anytimes a 43 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: good time. When whever you get it, you get it, 44 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: so be happy with it and move on. So the Jets, 45 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: obviously Jet week, big week for you guys. But do 46 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: you with the extra time, do you spend any time 47 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: looking ahead, any homework looking ahead to maybe that follow 48 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: one week or or is it all just about the Jets? 49 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: Like an extra week and a half two weeks if 50 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: for the Jets, well, the way the schedule falls. Although 51 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: the Jets have played a couple of teams that were 52 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: going to play. So they played Buffalo last week, we 53 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: still have them. They played Miami a couple of weeks ago, 54 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: we have them. They played Minnesota, we have them. So 55 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: there's some crossover games there that as we watch the Jets, 56 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: we also see somebody else. Do you sit down and 57 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: watch that Minnesota game last night like the rest of 58 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: us do? What did you just say, I'll see it 59 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: later on? I saw some of it. Yeah, I lasted 60 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: it till about the third middle of the third quarter. 61 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: That was all good. Couldn't couldn't last longer than that? 62 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: Did you gain anything from like Chris Collinsworth, like the 63 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: analysts like when they're breaking stuff down, they're like, oh, 64 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: that's a good point. Do you watch it as a fan? 65 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: Are you critiquing as you go? Yeah? It's hard to 66 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: TV Scout occasionally they gave you some good insight. You know, 67 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: they talk to somebody and maybe they comment on, well, 68 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: this is how the coach said we were going to 69 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: do this, or this our players said we're going to 70 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: do that. But that's say for the most part, that's 71 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: just as a fan. You're just kind of watching it. 72 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: So you've talked last week about first week, if the 73 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: bye week is getting your own act together, your own team. 74 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: So getting healthy would be the biggest positive going forward. 75 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: But what else do you believe is something you need 76 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: to do here if you're going to be successful and 77 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: reach your goal. Well, big thing we want to do 78 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: is try to improve, and we can do that in 79 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: every area. So we've looked at those offensively, defensively, special teams, 80 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: running game, passing, game fundamentals, tendencies, so forth. So I 81 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: think we'll take action where we can this week. Some 82 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: of those things that we looked at won't apply this week, 83 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: some of them will, and we'll just take a week 84 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: by week. Or how important is that we were talking 85 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: about this earlier? How important is the running game? You 86 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: had a game in which you took a wide receiver 87 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: and you used them as a running back because you 88 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: had injuries. How important is establishing that running game to 89 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: take the pressure off of Brady in your passing game, 90 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: to be able to make that defense play honestly built 91 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: and open up what we believe is a really potent offense. Well, 92 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: if it's if you can be successful at it, it's good. 93 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: I don't personally believe that you do something just to 94 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: do it just for the sake of doing it. Our 95 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: goal is to move the ball and score points. So 96 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: if we're doing that, if they're all runs or if 97 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: they're all passes, that doesn't really matter to me, as 98 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: long as we move the ball and score points. If 99 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: they're balanced, that's fine too, So we'll we'll just have 100 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: to see against. Some of that depends on where we're at. 101 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: Some of it depends on what we're seeing from our opponents. 102 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: It's it important note to get the defense of the 103 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: opponent to respect what you're doing in a running game. 104 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: If they know that you can't run, or they don't 105 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: feel that you're capable of doing it, oh, if they're 106 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: not defending the run, then you've got to be able 107 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 1: to run it, that's right. And if they if you can't, 108 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: then they'll continue to not defend it, and you'll probably 109 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: be throwing against something that you don't want to throw at. 110 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: But if they're gonna put everybody on the line of 111 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: scrimmage and then have more guys than you can block 112 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: up there, I don't know how many times you want 113 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: to run it in there for one yard just to say, well, 114 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: we ran it. I don't really think that is the answer, 115 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: you know, I know. I think last week people are 116 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: asking you, reports are asking you about special teams and 117 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: kick returns, and well, you guys rank and it's just 118 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: not normally a Patriot team. I think it was twenty 119 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: nine and kick return the new rule not being able 120 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: to run up. How much of a role is that 121 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: playing into it versus obviously just being bed or at 122 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: of coaching it up better, but just not being able 123 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: to run up. Is that affecting the kick returns? Those 124 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: guys getting more of a return because of it. Well, 125 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: I think the rules have affected the return game a 126 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: little bit, but we're all playing on the same rules, 127 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: so we just we have to do a better job 128 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: of coaching and playing and executing than what we have. 129 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: But maybe more so in the past. Do you think of, well, 130 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: we got a guy that can kick out of the 131 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: Endzon'll let you just do that. It's starting to twenty 132 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: five and go from there. Well, that's um. Again, that's 133 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: a possible strategy. I would say there's times that we're 134 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: going to be playing in the next six weeks that 135 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: just wouldn't be possible. Is it weather? Yeah, And I 136 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: think the last six games, or five of the six anyway, 137 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: we played one in Miami, but five of the six 138 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: potentially cold weather days with win, so um, that may 139 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: affect a kicking game more than what it has in 140 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: some of the previous ten that we've played. So we'll 141 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: have to see how that goes. There's no way to 142 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: predict it, but it's certainly a possibility. Something we have 143 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: to be more aware of than you would be in 144 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: like in your September games. Is that for the special teams? 145 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: Is it specifically kickoff and kickoff return? Is it one 146 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: of those situations? Is it more scheme or is it 147 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: personnel or is it a mix of the two. I 148 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: think we have enough players. I think we've been good 149 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: at times, we just haven't been consistent. So we have 150 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: to we have to coach it better and we have 151 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: to we have to execute it better, and we're gonna 152 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: be seeing good returners, certainly this week with Roberts, but 153 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: we'll be seeing good returners here all the way through 154 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: till the end of the season. So our coverage units 155 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: are going to be challenged every week, which they normally 156 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: are on the National Football League, but they certainly will 157 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: be the next six weeks. So we'll find out where 158 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: we're at when when there's no tackling, you know, really 159 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: at all anymore, and especially how tough it is to 160 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: I guess coach up. How do you I'm just trying to, 161 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: you know, how do you coach these guys up as 162 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: far as just making it work when you can't physically 163 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: tackle them? Because tagging off is one thing on a 164 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: guy that's running, you know, a four four whatever, and 165 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: actually trying to tackle that guy in space is a 166 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: whole nother thing. Is there a specific way that you 167 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: guys go about teaching them how to handle those situations? Well, 168 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: we work on tack line every day, so um yeah, 169 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: we I mean, we we work on it, we emphasize it, 170 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: and we got to do a better job of it. 171 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: But we're we're hunting every day since first day training camp, 172 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: since even in the spring. It's the most important fundamental 173 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: there is running and tackling, so um, we constantly work 174 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: on those. This is a random question and I had 175 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: a debate. I had a debate with this guy about this. Uh, 176 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: like last week. Okay, you're the first guy down, you're 177 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: a gunner or whatever. You're the first guy down on 178 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: the punt team, wide open space. Um, would would you 179 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: throw at a guy and almost burn that guy down 180 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: just to make the running back the punt returner kind 181 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: of move around and slow down, or would you expect 182 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: that person to, I guess, break down and try to 183 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: make a tackle. Like, what's what's the coaching point there? 184 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: Throwing out a guy right away like a bullet, like 185 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: a missile, just to try and see if you can 186 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: make a play, or should that person break down right beforehand? Well, 187 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit of a gray area there, 188 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: depends on how how good of a shot you have 189 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: at the runner. But let's just say you don't say 190 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: he has a little bit of time and space to 191 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: avoid you. Then what we would want to do is 192 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: is maintain some type of leverage on the runner, so 193 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: you're so where you're diving at the person would it 194 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: would be as you want to send him like to 195 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: the sideline. That's right. So if I'm on the right 196 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: side of you, um, I want to keep him from 197 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: going to my right and push him back to the 198 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: left because any teammates that I have, they see me 199 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: over there, they kind of expect me to hold that 200 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: leverage and if I lose it, then they've committed to 201 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: another spot and now I've lost what I have and 202 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: now who takes that over? So so I was technically 203 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: right O course, yeah, great, Like the other guy said, 204 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: it might payoff. People have been asking you about ball 205 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: distribution because it looks a little bit different than what 206 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: we've seen in the past. You've always said that Tom 207 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: Brady throws to the open guy. There's a certain thing 208 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: is in a certain way that we play, but we 209 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: want to go to the open guy. Do you feel 210 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: to this point that's the way the ball has been 211 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: distributed or is that something that you feel needs to 212 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: be improved on. Well, I think we can do better 213 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: in every area running game, passing game, run defense, pass defense, 214 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: special teams. So we've addressed everything, looked at everything, and 215 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: talked to each of our players about areas that they 216 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: can improve in and hopefully we'll have more production in 217 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: the passing game. Hopefully we'll have more production in the 218 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: running game, Hopefully we'll score more points. Is there a 219 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: guy so far just called the midway point that's lived up? 220 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: The expectations are actually exceeded your expectations based on what 221 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: you thought they were capable of doing when the season started. 222 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: I don't know I've really thought about that. Christian. I'd say, 223 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: right now, what our mentality is is where everybody wherever, 224 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: anybody is right now, coaches, players, whatever their role is, 225 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: let's try to move past it and move into higher ground. 226 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: Let's try to improve by five ten percent each one 227 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: of us, all seventy of us, including the coaches and 228 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: practice squad players, seventy five miny it is, let's all 229 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: of us try to improve five ten percent. Well, what 230 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: can we do better? How can we contribute more or 231 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: contribute at a higher level than we're contributing right now? 232 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: And I think we all do that the team will 233 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: benefit greatly. So Coach Matt Patricia had his team coach 234 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: outside in the snow and the next five games you're 235 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: all indoors. You guys, is different. You guys have to 236 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: perform in that weather. But when you go out and 237 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: practice in bad weather rather than say, indoors, is it 238 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: more than just preparing for cold weather? Do you do 239 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: that too to test your guys, like mentally kind of 240 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: find out guys. I don't want to hear you make complaining, bitching, 241 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: making excuses. Is that part of the reasons why you 242 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: would do something like that as well? Well? The majority 243 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: of our games are outdoors loose, so whatever whatever the 244 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: conditions are there are, we can't control them. So if 245 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 1: we practice in the I think eventually we're going to 246 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: play in them. I don't know when. It might be 247 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: this week, it might be next week, might be next year. Again, 248 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: those things are not not that easily predictable. But at 249 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: some point we're gonna face win. We're gonna face coal, 250 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna face heat, we're gonna face the sun. We're 251 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: gonna have to you know, we're gonna have to deal 252 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: with all those conditions. So we go out there and 253 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 1: practice in them that whenever they come up and we're 254 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: ready for him, you will face the sun because you're 255 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: playing at one o'clock. You're playing about four o'clock. Might 256 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: understand like handling kicks in the sun and that type 257 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: of thing, you know that came up in the Chicago. 258 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: You've been doing it. So how different? How different do 259 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: you coach? And you've had great success in December in 260 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: late November, how different do you coach because you're playing 261 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: against you know, in the cold weather, and you might 262 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: be playing against some teams that are not accustomed to 263 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: playing in the cold weather. How different do you coach 264 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: in this weather as opposed to earlier in the season. Well, 265 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: sometimes the weather affects what you can or can't do, 266 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: so you have to take that in consideration. But ultimately 267 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: it comes down to the players and their ability to 268 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: execute the plays. So if we can execute them, great, 269 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: If we can't execute them, then we pull them out 270 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: out and try to do something that we can execute. 271 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: So throwing fifty yard post patterns into a twenty mile 272 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: in our wind, is that's not the time for that play. 273 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: Maybe it's when you're going in the other direction or 274 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: what have you. So throwing outside routes if if you 275 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: have a swirling, tough wind like we had in Buffalo, 276 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: sometimes those limit the number of throws or the type 277 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: of throw that a quarterback can make out there so 278 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: it changes the way you might defend it and also 279 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: changes what you call on that. Maybe adjust the routes 280 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: that are running out route. Maybe you run a shorter route, 281 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: that's a hitch, that's a little tighter throw, it's a 282 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: little more direct throw for the quarterback. As an example, Well, 283 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: you guys change up the schedule this week because it's Thanksgiving. 284 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: You guys work that day, you know, put in a 285 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: bunch of work beforehand. They come back on Friday or which, Yeah, 286 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: we'll try to get ahead of a little bit, so 287 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: we don't aren't doing as much one. Thanks you. Well, right, 288 00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: well this is uh, this is our question of the weekend. Well, 289 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: I guess i'll end with this. I had this debate 290 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: with the little earl over here. That's his nickname if 291 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: you're wondering um, And you know, a lot of a 292 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: lot of these analysts put so much faith in all 293 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: these different you know, companies of Pro Football Focus and 294 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: you know stat Cast or whatever it is, and I 295 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: was I was thinking that the only way you can 296 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: really get the true analysis of whether a guy is 297 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: good or not as if the coach gives you the answers, 298 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: like the coach is going to have to give you 299 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: a grade on that player, because only you know if 300 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: he was doing the right thing or not, if you 301 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: should have caught the ball or not. So how does 302 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: that guy know? Do you think they'll come a point 303 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: well that that at some point time that where your guys' 304 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: grades will be public knowledge. Yeah, well I was just Mike, 305 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: I don't know why you're laughing at that guy. I 306 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: like it. No, it look it's I think it's a 307 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: great question. So you see, if you see a play 308 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: on film and um, a receiver goes on cover down 309 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: the field, so you know that it's probably one of 310 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: two guys mistakes, but you don't necessarily know which guy 311 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: it is, right, Yeah, and so but a lot of 312 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: times you see the announcers say, well, you know, Fourier 313 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: should have taken them more Belichick should have taken them, 314 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the play saying, well, it could 315 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: have been either guy. It just depends on what the 316 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: call was and what they were doing. A lot of 317 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: times we look at our plays and we see a 318 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: mistake there. Maybe maybe we come off the field and 319 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, a guy makes the tackle in the backfield 320 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: and we're like, oh my god, this guy made a mistake, 321 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: and then he tells us that we'll know at the 322 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: line we called something else and so it wasn't him, 323 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: it was actually another guy. So and a lot of 324 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: times on film we see that, we see a mistake 325 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: and then we say, well, you know what, we have 326 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: to go back and hear what the call was before 327 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: we can. We know somebody's wrong here, but it just 328 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: depends on what the call was as the which guy's 329 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: right and which guy's wrong, And so times we don't 330 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: know what happened until Monday. We know it's a problem 331 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: on the play, but until you actually talk to the 332 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: players and say, okay, what happened on this play? Oh 333 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: I thought he said this, or oh I you know 334 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: he said it, I didn't hear it, or he said this, 335 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: but I played that whatever it is. So you're right. 336 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: In terms of analytics, you get a lot of you know, 337 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: this guy should have them, that guy should have them. 338 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: But I know from our team there are times when 339 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: we don't know exactly what went wrong until you can 340 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: really swart the playouts. There's no way anybody else could know, 341 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: is the point. And that's uh. Sometimes what it looks 342 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: like is not what it is. And then you often see, 343 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: you know, players, defensive backs, somebody gets behind the defense 344 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: or a touchdown and they kind of pull off or 345 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: don't chase because I don't want to really be chasing 346 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: the guy because it looks like it was their guy, 347 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: you know, the type of thing, you know, So there 348 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: are some plays like that that kind of definitely skew it, 349 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: and a lot of times they're big plays. So it's 350 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: an interesting question, and it's an interesting point about you know, 351 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: who who's at fault? Who does what? UM? And it's 352 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: it's pretty actually pretty common for that to be UM. 353 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: It's pretty frequent that that comes up. So like a 354 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: lot of times you have the center slides one way 355 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: on pass protection right, so you have a center guard 356 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: and a tackle blocking a defensive tackle on a defensive 357 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: end right, so you're three on two, and so if 358 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: one of those guys comes inside, you know, there's do 359 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: You just have to know what the rule is and 360 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: might be different from our team to the next team 361 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: as to is the tackle turning that guy over to 362 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: the guard or is he staying with him as the 363 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: guard turning that guy over to the center, or is 364 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: he staying with him and the center's helping him, you know, 365 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: so is it is it two on one or is 366 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: it I let him go to the next guy and 367 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: then I, I, you know, push out so um and again. 368 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: Unless you know exactly how that's being coach and with 369 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: the guy with what they're supposed to do, then it's 370 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: hard to know who's right and who's wrong. Something habits 371 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: on punt protection as well. You know, you see guys 372 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 1: come through and a lot of times it's like, oh, well, 373 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: this guy should have blocked him. But depending on what 374 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: the rules are on the pump production and what the 375 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: rush was. In other words, is he going to stay 376 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: on the down guy or are we gonna area the 377 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: down guy and the stack guy? Um could be there 378 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 1: could be two different ways to do it, and you 379 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: might not know exactly who was responsible for what until 380 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: you you know how it's coached. Well, I was gonna say, 381 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: and sometimes he's gonna trust a player because you were 382 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: miked up one time in that touchdown pass him Gordon. 383 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: The Brady threw to Gordon and you even asked him 384 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: coming off who did you throw it to? And I'm 385 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: sure he would never admit that he was over overthrew 386 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: jewels right, So of course he's going to admit that, no, 387 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: I didn't overthrow him. It was perfect pass. So you 388 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: gotta trust a player sometimes, yeah, and which yeah, which 389 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: I do. It's just when I saw Julian jump for 390 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: the ball, I thought that he thought it was going 391 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: to him, and then it kind of went over and 392 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: then it was sort of it was a little short 393 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: for Gordon and a little long for for Julian um. 394 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: But then when I'm back and watched the plan film, 395 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: I think Tom was definitely throw it to Gordon, but 396 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: on the field at the time, I wasn't sure. I mean, 397 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: it's unusually have two guys open like that. You're hoping 398 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: for one, and you know, luckily we had two there. 399 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: So we in the media we get it wrong all 400 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: the time because we don't know exactly what the specific assignments. 401 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: Like Glenn, we get it wrong too. We're watching another 402 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: team on film and we've watched all their plays and 403 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: we're still at times not sure exactly who was supposed 404 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: to do what. But I'll say this, if you see 405 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: a certain player involved in multiple plays like that, it 406 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter what it was supposed to be. It's 407 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: probably they're just going to have problems with it because 408 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: you know a certain players involved in multiple mistakes whatever 409 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: the call was that you know, you just want to 410 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: keep putting the stress on that player. Maybe those combination 411 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: of players, for example, when you have linebackers that are 412 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: moving out into combinations with defensive backs a lot of 413 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: times as linebackers. Because he's not a defensive back and 414 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: he's not in there with the defensive backs all the time, 415 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: and he's involved in a three on three or a 416 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: four on three situations, sometimes he'll make the mistake, whereas 417 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: if it was three dbs or four dbs, they'd have 418 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: a better line of communication or better anticipation of what 419 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: the call was going to be how to handle it. 420 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: So Christian wants to solve all the iniquities in the world, 421 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: and what he wants you to do is you as 422 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: a coach, instead of having report cards by the media, 423 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 1: he wants you to give a report card in each player, 424 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: even the negative grades. I'm not sure you're going to 425 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: do that, is I mean, I know Christian, you know 426 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: you've sat in a lot of those meetings and and 427 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: sometimes he kind of run into conflict as a coach 428 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: where you look at the play and all right, so 429 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: let's say defensively, you know, the end, he sort of 430 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: does his job, the tackle sort of does his job, 431 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: linebacker sort of his job, the linebacker sort of does 432 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: his job. And against six yards, you're like, wait a minute, 433 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: like everybody's they're kind of doing what they're supposed to do. 434 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: There's nobody here. It's really bad. But they just gained 435 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 1: six yards. And you know, we can't have every play 436 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: can't get six yards and everybody does it, does their job, right, 437 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: So then there's got to be a little bit higher 438 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: standard of you know, what's what's what's a what's a 439 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: high grade or what's an acceptable grade and what isn't. 440 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: And that's a fine line, it really is, because the 441 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: players can go out there and do their job, and 442 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: then they could do a great job of it. They 443 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: could do like, you know, solid job, or it could 444 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: be oh it's not perfect, but it's kind of okay. 445 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: And then of course there's the obvious one that it's 446 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: just you know, it's you get beat disaster. That's yeah, 447 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: well so and we all get beat. So that that's 448 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: but I'd say there's a gradiation in there between you know, 449 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: great to you know, A, B and C let's call it. 450 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: So you know, maybe sees a passing grade, but you're 451 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 1: really gonna win playing CE football. You know, B is good, 452 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: might be good enough sometimes you know you're looking at that, 453 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: but it's hard to get straight a's out there. I mean, 454 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: you've got some other A players too, So, um, the 455 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: grading part of it's a fine line. It really is 456 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: each grade differently? Sure, well or do you give them 457 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: a template? So this is the way so you could 458 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: evaluate them? Right? Yeah, well I think each so each 459 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: each um let's call it minus is you know, has 460 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: a comment with it so that you can identify again, 461 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: well maybe this wasn't This was a minus, but I 462 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: might look at it and say, well, you know, it 463 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,239 Speaker 1: wasn't really that bad. I mean, he didn't quite get 464 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: it the way, but he's trying, and it was, you know, 465 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: just one of those things that you know, whatever happened, 466 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,239 Speaker 1: but it didn't it didn't go. And then there are 467 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: other ones that are just they're just bad plays or 468 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: they're really really good plays. But all I'm saying is 469 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: there's a lot of gray in there between, uh, some 470 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: pluses and minuses in between. You know, how players are 471 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: great and you get these organizations that that grade all 472 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: the players, and to me, I'm thinking to myself, I 473 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: mean I have a hard time grading the players and 474 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: I know what the call is, there are other things 475 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: that happen on the field that um, that override that 476 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: by a lot, and until you know what those are, 477 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: you can't really grade accurately. You ever had a guy 478 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: with a perfect perfect score. Well, look, if you're a corner, um, 479 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: you know you might only be involved in five plays 480 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: a game. I mean it's not like you're playing nose 481 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: tackle game ball perfect score, but you know you won't 482 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: throw my way. Sometimes they're you know, no opportunities something 483 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: you know. So if you know there's some players involved 484 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: in a lot of plays, you know, middle linebacker or 485 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: a center, a guard, I mean, they're every single play 486 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: goes through them. And then there are other plays um um. 487 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: If you have defensive ends, I mean, if the ball 488 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: runs one way, the other guys unless they run a reverse, 489 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: I mean, the other guys really not that involved in it. 490 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: He has a responsibility to do or But if you're 491 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: the backside corner and backside receiver, I mean you've seen 492 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: a receiver grades like, how do you get a minus 493 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: as a receiver, you know, drop the ball, Yeah, that's 494 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: about it. You know. Otherwise, if you run your ten 495 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,719 Speaker 1: yard route or run your fifteen yard route or whatever 496 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: it is, then well you've kind of you know, done 497 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: your assignment. So um, you know, if you drop the ball, 498 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: then obviously that's that's a minus. But so I'm just 499 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: saying there's a difference between. It's so really a lot 500 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: of those plays or let's call him zeros, I mean 501 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: really not greatable plays. You want the plays. What's the 502 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: great on the plays where the players actually involved in 503 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: the play. So for corners and wide receivers, their opportunities 504 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: are a lot less than for interior lineman, linebackers. Guys 505 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: at that quarterback I mean, on a running play unless 506 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: he this is the handoff or something, I mean he's 507 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: really not not really he could screw the play up. 508 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that, but generally speaking, that play now 509 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: belongs to the runner. That's the passing play, and then 510 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: I played belong to the quarterbacks. So when you get 511 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: one of those disastrous plays. Players ex players have told 512 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: us no names that you like to show video to 513 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: everybody is there's certain guys that you know that you 514 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,239 Speaker 1: can play the video and that player is going to 515 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: learn from it and improve, And there are other guys 516 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: that you're a little bit concerned that if you show 517 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: it in front of everybody else as opposed to maybe 518 00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: sitting in talking to him privately. Well, I think, yeah, 519 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: I think that's a great question, Glenn. I think that 520 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: that's a great question. And I think the answer to 521 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: that question is if you have a team of eleven 522 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: people on a particular play and something goes wrong on 523 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: that play, right, then how Look, there's the one person 524 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: who made a mistake, but there's ten other people too 525 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: that you're also coaching. So when something goes wrong on 526 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: a play like that, your immediate reaction of if you're 527 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: one of the eleven players on the field is you know, 528 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: did I do something wrong? Should I have been there? 529 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: Should I have had that? Should I have done this? 530 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: And so I think there's a lot to be said 531 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: to making sure that we understand who made the mistake, like, Okay, 532 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: this is you know, this is Belichick's fault. Everybody else 533 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: is Okay, you have to get this corrected. Or there's 534 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: times where I've said to the team, look, this is 535 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: just this is just bad coaching. This is a bad 536 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: play in this situation. I'm not going to call this again. 537 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: This is my fault. Just forget about this one. Okay, 538 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: this is this is on me. All right, let's let's 539 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: move forward here. And you know, I'm not going to 540 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: call this again in that situation. I put you in 541 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: a bad spot. That's just a bad coaching. And a 542 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: lot of times players will come off and say the 543 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: same thing. It's like, look, I screwed this up. I 544 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: should have made the play. I was right there, I 545 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: missed the tackle. Call it again. I'll get it the 546 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: next time. Okay, great. And then there are the ones 547 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: that sometimes are a little bit harder to determine. Well, 548 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: I was doing what I thought I was supposed to do. 549 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: Next guy's doing what he thought he's supposed to do. 550 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: Next guy doing what he's supposed to do, and again 551 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: fifteen yards, Well there's something wrong. We have to fix that. 552 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: And so if I just take one guy over in 553 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: the corner and say hey, look, you just do this, well, 554 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: then what about the other ten guys? You know, do 555 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: they know that we have the problem fixed or because 556 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: if you don't identify what's happened wrong, then a lot 557 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: of times another player will try to make an adjustment 558 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: so that they run the same play again. Now he 559 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: makes an adjustment because he does something different than he 560 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: did the last time, because he thinks it was wrong. Right, 561 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 1: so he now needs to know, Okay, you're right, you're right, 562 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: you're right, this is what's wrong. You have to fix it, 563 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: and you have to tell the player that. You have 564 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: to tell the other players that so that they know 565 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: what's right and what's wrong. So was he sensitive and 566 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: when you I'm sorry, of course not. No. No, I 567 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: think I only messed up on one thing, one thing. 568 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: I think it was on the whole. Like no, no, 569 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: that that's been well documented. Thank you again for bringing 570 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: it up. I appreciate that the video to say, Okay, 571 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: thank you again for retweeting it. That makes me feel 572 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: good inside. No. One of the questions was that you 573 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: were you know, I don't know who we were playing, 574 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: but it was you're doing your normal thing on a Wednesday, okay, 575 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: asking questions. And for some reason I thought you expected 576 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: me to know who the second string strong safety was, 577 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: which I probably should have known. But because he went 578 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 1: to Nebraska, I think that's what it was. He went 579 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: to Nebraska or something like that, and I was like 580 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: the one guy that I was like, eh, I don't 581 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: have to know worry about this guy. I think it 582 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: was like a felt like it was like a Okay, 583 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: this guy's a second string strong safety. And you went 584 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: to Nebraska, which is I went to Colorado Rivalry. You 585 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: didn't know. I did not know him. I think I 586 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: gave you what but the next week, But the next week, 587 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: I bet you know this guy. Oh hell, yes, always exactly. 588 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: Oh yes, it's not what you don't know, it's what 589 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: what it motivates you do. No, it worked. It definitely worked. 590 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: Every now when I go through my life, I always 591 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: I'm always looking for the second drink songs efty. Oh yeah, yeah, 592 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: I gotta finish this off. Alright. So that was a 593 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: question Slash Drive of the week.
