1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: How do you take the comparisons between your offense and 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: the Chiefs offense? Well, I think it's just natural just 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: because that's obviously where I came from and and um, 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: you know, being there the last five years and learning 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: from coach read Um, So that's again, like I said that, 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: that'd be a natural comparison. Would you see that there's 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: been a lot of carryover from what you were doing 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: in Kansas City to what you're doing now? Yeah, you 9 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: can amount you know. It's that's That's a nice thing 10 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: is um, is that when you you go somewhere else, 11 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: you're able to kind of put your your own spin 12 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: on it and you can do what you want to do. 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: So there's some and there's some new stuff as well. 14 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: When you is it helpful that the Patriots just played 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and you might be able to see how 16 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: they handled some of the situations the Chiefs through with them. Sure, 17 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: I mean you could say that, but again I don't. 18 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: I think when you look at these type of games 19 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: and these type of situations, um, you could you could 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: go that route or you could go to the other 21 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: around and say, well, they're going to be completely different. 22 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: So they're a balance and Uh, you know, I think 23 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: that's just part of the games in the ship and 24 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: that's part of the fun of coaching. When you took 25 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: the job as as coach, did Mitch Trubisky appeal to you? 26 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: Was that a part of the reason why you took 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: the job? Absolutely? I thought it. I thought it was 28 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: a great opportunity. Um, you know, I just ended up. 29 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 1: We did our due diligence on really evaluating all the quarterbacks, 30 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: which was great um as a as a coaching staff. 31 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,919 Speaker 1: And one of the new parts UH been in in 32 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: in the coaching world is when you are evaluating different 33 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: players and different styles to play, and then specifically the 34 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: quarter requisition. And so we brought in Mitchell and loved 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: everything that he was about and spend a lot of 36 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: time with film in Kansas City and and so that 37 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: was a lot easier for me to know who he 38 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: was before I took the job. When you look at 39 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots chief scheme, when you look at what the 40 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: Patriots did defensively to certain guys from that offense and 41 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: say to yourself, Okay, this is what they did with 42 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, so we can expect this for Allan robinsoner 43 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 1: is what they did with Tyreek Hill. So this is 44 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: what we can expect for Taylor Gabriel. Do you make 45 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: those kinds of comparisons coming off last week? Now, I 46 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: mean that's that's uh, that's that's completely up to you know, 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: I have no idea. Again, I go back to what 48 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: your last question was, I have you know, we're that's 49 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: the games and ship of of these types of situations 50 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: is not knowing is the unknown. It's the unknown from us, 51 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: it's the unknown from them. And that's the beauty of 52 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: the sport. So you can you can look at different 53 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: ways you know, people play technique wise, et cetera. But 54 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: that we do that every week regardless of whether you're 55 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: playing the Chiefs, the Jets, the Bear, or whoever it is. 56 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter at us. Just comment on a Keen 57 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: Hicks season so far. Yeah, he's having a good season. 58 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: He's playing hard. Um, you know, we're we're excited with 59 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: where he's at. Um. You know, it's been a he's 60 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: a leader on our defense and uh, you know, we 61 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: just needed to keep keep playing the way he's playing 62 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: and he's a he's Uh, we like where he's at 63 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: right now. Can you give us an example of his leadership, 64 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: like some of the things he does with his teammates, 65 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: locker room huddled stuff like that. Yeah, just the way 66 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: he is in practice. Um, you know, you have vocal 67 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: guys and you have guys that are more introverted. He's 68 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: a vocal guy. He's gonna let guys know when when 69 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: the team needs to be picked up a little bit. Uh, 70 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna let himself know when he's got 71 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: to get going. He'll come up and talk to us 72 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: as coaches, and so you know, it just naturally happens 73 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: to hug Is. Trey Flower is a guy that you 74 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: have to be aware of. Yeah, he is. He's he's 75 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: a good player, you know, and we've we've we've seen 76 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: him now or at least I have going up against 77 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: him a couple of years, and um, you know he 78 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: I like the way he plays, and we have a 79 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: lot of respect for his games. I guess the reason 80 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: I ask is because maybe he doesn't get as much 81 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: national attention as uh, well a guy like Mac obviously 82 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: because he's not as productive. But what sort of nuances 83 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: do you notice in his game? Well, I do agree 84 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: with you on that he's not the quote unquote big 85 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: name guy. But he's he's the big name guy amongst 86 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: the coaching world. And so we know who he who 87 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: he is and what he can do, and we respect 88 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: him and know he's the help of a player and 89 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: so um as you want anybody, you always want to know, um, 90 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: where they're at and how they do things and and 91 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: that's captains in film study and um and so uh 92 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, no, he's he's a he can he can 93 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: hold the point. He's strong, he's quick, he's fast, he 94 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: plays in front of the quarterback, and so we uh 95 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: we we we know that that he's a good football player. 96 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: Patriots defense has been I guess a little bit inconsistent 97 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: this season. But what's your what's your overall takeaway while 98 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: watching them? They were all take away from what from 99 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: watching the defense? Patriots defense? Our defense, Patriots defense. It's 100 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: the Patriots defense. Yeah, No, they're they're well, they're it's 101 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: it's it's what I've seen before. You know, they're they're 102 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: a good defense that plays that's opportunistic. They they they 103 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: make plays when they need to. UM. I just I 104 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: think that it's a great scheme that they have defensively. UM. 105 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: And then they got great players too. So when you 106 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: when you match a scheme up that that works well 107 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: with with experienced players that know how to play together, um, 108 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: you win a lot of football games. And that's that's 109 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: what they've done. And um, you know it's it's uh, 110 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: you appreciate it as a coach in general, and then 111 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: you you know it. You gotta go out and and 112 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: make sure you try to play your game offensively, but 113 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: know that there if they're a good defense, are you 114 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: seeing them get a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks. 115 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: They don't have a very high sack total, but they've 116 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: been able to force some bad throws and knockoff timing 117 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: that way a little bit, it seems like, yeah, that's 118 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: kind of what they do though, you know, and I 119 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: don't think that's ever necessarily changed. Again, they they have 120 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: a belief in their system and how it goes and 121 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: how it works and they've been successful. So and you know, 122 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: it's whether there's a game where they have a lot 123 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: of pressure, there's a game where there's not much. Um, 124 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: you got to be able to adapt to it. And 125 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: that's that's again being around the football, tipping the ball 126 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: in the year and making plays in the red zone, UM, 127 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: not giving up touchdowns and having three field goals kicked. 128 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: You know that that type of deal is is uh 129 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: is always going to work when when um, when you 130 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: when you just do what you're supposed to do. And 131 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: that's what they do. Man, how have you seen your 132 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: team responds after a tough overtime road loss last Sunday? Well, 133 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: hopefully we can respond um in the week the way 134 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: just like we responded after losing to a tough loss 135 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: to the Packers a week one, UM in the in 136 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: the second half. And so I have all them that 137 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: trust in our players and our coaches. We got a 138 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: bunch of good guys that care about each other. And 139 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: they're not they're they're not too uh um. There's no 140 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: fingerpoint or anything like that going on. It just to 141 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: the good people trying to play football and so um. 142 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: You know, we go out, have a good week of 143 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: practice and then go out in the football field and 144 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: do happen? Have you stressed physical recovery with them or 145 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: done anything in particular to trying to make sure that 146 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: that happens after playing a long game and in a 147 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: lot of heat. Yeah. The biggest I think the biggest 148 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: thing that we did was just make sure the last 149 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: couple of days here that they're rehydrating. You know, that 150 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: was I think the heat in Dex with one hundred 151 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: and seven, and that was something that you know, it 152 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: was so their their bodies just need to recover. So 153 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: just hydration, taking care of like they would any other game, 154 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: and then getting back on track. It's a little different 155 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: weather here than what it was down there. Um, so 156 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: just your body, you know, changes and and so I 157 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: think we're we're back there and we're all excited to 158 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: get back to practice. Where what have you seen from 159 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: your special teams units through the first five games of 160 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: the season. I've been happy with them, I like, you know, 161 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: I think field position wise, we've been doing pretty good. Um, 162 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: you know we've been uh, you know as far as 163 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: just covering kicks, point returns, um. And then obviously you 164 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: know with last week with missing the field goal, you 165 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: can always go to that. But I but Curti's been 166 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: kicking the ball well, and so I'm I like where 167 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: we're at again. UM. It's easy to like when you 168 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: when you have guys that are out there trying and 169 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: giving it their full effort and producing. He seems um 170 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of talk about Tom Brady forty one, 171 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: Stephen Gostkowski thirteenth year in the league, probably one of 172 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: the two most tenuous positions place kicker, But what are 173 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: your thoughts on him and the longevity and productivity. Now, 174 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: it's amazing, I mean to think that, I mean, I'm 175 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: I'm forty, so to know that they're still playing. Uh, 176 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: and Tom, what he's doing is magical and you you 177 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: just you appreciate it. I mean, I played quarterbacks dealing position. 178 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: I've played all my life, so I understand that that position, 179 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: and so for him to be playing it at the 180 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: level that he's playing right now and looks to be 181 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: no slowing down, it's very very impressive and respectful from 182 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: all of us and from anybody has played the game 183 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: or understand it. And and then uh, and then with Kaskalki, 184 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: you know again, same type of thing. I can remember 185 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: going back to when he first got in the league 186 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: and to think now what you said, thirteen years and 187 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: he's been very very consistent since taken over for Vinitary 188 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: and made a lot of field goals and been very clutched. 189 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: So two clutch players that have been playing a long time. 190 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: How much has the Patriots offensive volve since Week one? 191 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: They kind of had some trouble getting production out of 192 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: the receivers and now all of a sudden Gordon Edelman. 193 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: Has it changed a bunch? Well, yeah, it's I think 194 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: you could say that, and and honestly, I think you 195 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: could say that for a lot of different offenses when 196 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: you're going through new players and uh, and you're you're 197 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: trying to get you know, you get a guy like Gordon, 198 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: it's coming in. I mean, it's not easy learning these 199 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: new offensive systems and so and trying to get on 200 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: the time. So every week that goes by is only 201 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: going to get better. We're going through that right now. Offensively, 202 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's the same thing. You know, we there's 203 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: been times where we've been very sluggish. But the more 204 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: ye're together with your players and you establish that timing 205 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: and the identity of your offense every year is a 206 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: little bit different. So, um, they're let me shoot, they're 207 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: they're you know, putting up a lot of points here 208 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: in the last several games, and and um that's always 209 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: the case, um, within that offense. And with that, with 210 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: com
