1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: Tom Mutton, Jerry, how are you hi, guys morning? Are 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: you doing good? I want to start with one of 3 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: the two big plays, the Edelman throwback screened. Is this 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: this calmed down Julian from wanting to throw the ball more? 5 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: Was this going to egg him on now suggesting that 6 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: Josh he needs to throw the ball more. As a 7 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: wide receiver. I know he usually wants as much as 8 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: many touches as he can get, so whether he's catching 9 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: him or throwing him or running him, he likes the 10 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: ball in his hands and he did a great job 11 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: with all of him last night. So it was a great, 12 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: great execution on all those little gimmick plays that we had, 13 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: and they worked. I think, you know, Josh McDaniels did 14 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: such a great job. He was really tuned in and 15 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: had all those things called at the right time and 16 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: it was great execution. So we needed those plays. We're 17 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: playing against a good team and those end up being 18 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: kind of big momentum place for us, And that was 19 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: just great to beat a good team at home. It's 20 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: what we needed to do. By the way he made 21 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: that play, I think Tom Craig me if I'm wrong, 22 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: Julian seemed to make that play with his eyes. He 23 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: looked down field. You expect one of those double passes. 24 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: You expect someone to take a deep shot, maybe, you know, 25 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: go for the end zone. And he looked down field 26 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: and drew the defense over there. And you guys set 27 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: it up like a perfect screen on the left side 28 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: with you lead blocking, of course. But I tried, you know, 29 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: and then I got out on front, and I totally 30 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: like a fish. I don't have no idea what to do. 31 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: And I mean, you just don't know where the ball 32 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: is at. And and I have a lot of appreciation 33 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: for those guys who are running downfield and knocking guys 34 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: over like our line does all the time. So I thought, 35 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: you just made a decision. At that moment. The number 36 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: ninety montrevious Adams was going to run out of gas 37 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: before he caught James White. Yeah, and there was another 38 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: guy who I think made the tack. Yeah, that's true. 39 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: Another guy made the tackle. You're right, And if I 40 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: would have got him down, I would have been a touchdown. 41 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: But I said, after the game, you live and you learned. 42 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: You guys started the game. Collins Worth setting on TV, 43 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: going about as fast as he can remember what was 44 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: that the plan going in that first drive Tom to 45 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: try to go up tempo and catch him off guard. 46 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: You seemed to do it pretty early against Green Bay. Well, yeah, 47 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: that was part of you know, it's it's part of 48 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: every plan. I mean, the reality is it's we have 49 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: it in every week, and how much we use it, 50 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: it's kind of depends on, you know, how well we're doing. 51 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: And I said after the game, it doesn't help our 52 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: offense to run you know, bad plays fast and execute poorly, 53 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: you know, at a fast speed. I think it all 54 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: comes down to how well we execute and if we're 55 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: executing well, playing fast, which is a little bit more 56 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: challenging because the communication isn't quite as good. But if 57 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: you're executing well, you can stay in it and put 58 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: some pressure on the defense. And we got some plays 59 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: where they were kind of caught off guard, which helped. 60 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: And it's just good to start the game like that 61 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: and start fast and play with the lead. And when 62 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: we do that, you know, especially at home, we can 63 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: be pretty tough to beat. You know. Um, every week 64 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: there's our weekly thing we ask about Josh Gordon's development. 65 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: I guess you would say that's his best game. You 66 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: certainly seem comfortable out there and made some big plays. 67 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: I think the touchdown, you again, you drew them defense 68 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: away with your eyes and you almost had that picked 69 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: off by h I think it was a defensive back 70 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: named Julian Edelman. I know he was. He was The 71 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: ball usually goes to Julian on that play, and I 72 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: saw the corner a bit harder than the guy who 73 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: was over Julian, so Julian thought it was coming to him, 74 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: and he thought I overthrew him. But I saw Josh 75 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: running up there, which you know, gave Josh even more space, 76 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: and Josh caught it and and Uh made the safety 77 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: myths and ran, however many yards for a touchdown. So 78 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: it was a big play in the game. It was 79 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: kind of a big you know, we got the fumble, 80 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: we went up seven, and then you know, to make 81 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: that play and go at fourteen was was huge at 82 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: that time. It was a lot of guys executed well, 83 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: and I think all those guys at the receiver position, 84 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: Josh and Hogs and Philip and Julian did a great job. 85 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: And then you know, CP playing running back most of 86 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: the night, did a great job. Line played great, you know, 87 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: James White, you know, really is the only back that's 88 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: playing is taken on a lot of responsibility and doing 89 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: just an incredible job with it. So it was a 90 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: great team win. Defense played, you know, to limit that 91 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: offense like they did. A seventeen points is pretty spectacular 92 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: and it was just a great, great all around team win. 93 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: That's what we needed. That's what that's what it was 94 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: going to take. And on that Gordon play, Tom, did 95 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: it feel like you guys had them set up? Was 96 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: the earlier screenplays everything else that it feel like you 97 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: got to a point where we had in a position 98 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: where they're going to be looking for this, we can 99 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: take advantage of it. Yeah, you know, they they're pretty 100 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: They got aggressive there and at certain times and on 101 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: that particularly, they got really aggressive and we got two 102 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: guys to fake and I would just try to give 103 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: a look out there to hold them and see if 104 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,559 Speaker 1: we could um you know, get behind him and both 105 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: the Normally the corner doesn't bite that. I mean, he's 106 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: he figures he's got some some help, but he figured 107 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: he read the play, and you know, we ended up 108 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: making a huge play on our end. So it's what happens. 109 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's good to be an aggressive defense, 110 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: but it also if you get too aggressive, you know, 111 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: that's when offenses take advantage. I'll play like the edelment 112 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: to James White. The touchdown, I mean not the touchdown 113 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: would have been a touchdown, you know if you made 114 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: your block. But that play is that in the Is 115 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: that in the playbook every week? Could you ever stop 116 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: and pause when in the huddle on the side, Let's 117 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,559 Speaker 1: say we don't want to waste that. I mean, let's 118 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: let's save that for another desperation time. I mean, how 119 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: does that work? Because now every opponent you have knows 120 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: knows what it looks like. Yeah, but we have I 121 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 1: think we have more plays than we could end gadgets 122 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: than we could ever call on the bill. So you 123 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: work on ones until they come up, and then you 124 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: shelve it, and then you use you know, the four 125 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: or five others that you've kind of got cued up, 126 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: and then you know, when you've used two or three 127 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: of them, you get some other ones ready. And I 128 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: think it's all just taken advantage of um, you know, 129 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: over pursuit. You know that particular pit of Julian you know, 130 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: I threw it to them. You get the whole defense 131 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: pursuing and when you see teams that pursued that, well, 132 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: you've got opportunities to take advantage of the over suit 133 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: and that's what we do. And it's just like on 134 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: the flee flicker. You know, they're they're trying to you know, 135 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: beach into the backfield to make plays. And when they 136 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: do that, you hand it off and they try to 137 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: beat you, you know, your receivers into the backfield and 138 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: then it's a fleeflicker ended up being a good play. Now, 139 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: if they're not being very reactive to those run plays, 140 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: then you got to keep running it. And I think 141 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: Josh did a great job last night and just knowing 142 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: exactly when to call him that he felt like, Okay, 143 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: you know they're they're starting to kind of bite up, 144 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: they're starting to bite up, they're starting to bite up. Boom, 145 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, you hit it and it ended up being 146 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: a big play. So it's part of just keeping them 147 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: off bounce. And you know, we did a pretty good 148 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: job keeping them off bounce last night. You said you 149 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: sat down with Rodney Harrison before this game. He says, 150 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: ready to run through a brick wall where you come 151 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: out of retirement. You had an employee tell Peter King that, 152 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: you know, the team sort of bought in late in 153 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: the week to this, the Brady Rogers matchup, your matchup 154 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: with Aaron. I'm curious, Tom, I know they're all important. 155 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: Did this one start to feel more important? Knowing you're 156 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: playing I considered in your class of quarterback? Well, I 157 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: think it was just a It was a great I 158 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: mean there was just a lot of hype built around it, 159 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: you know, as as there should be. I mean that's 160 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: there's two you know, great football teams playing. And you know, 161 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: I've been around for a while, Aaron's been around for 162 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: a long time. They've had a lot of you know, 163 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: he's a super Bowl champ, he said, you know, playoffs 164 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: almost every year that he's been healthy. You know, we're 165 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: in that same you know, we've got some championships, we've 166 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: got you know, we're in the playoffs, you know, most 167 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: of the years. And you know, you're just it's two 168 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: great teams that are well coached. I've had a lot 169 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: of success that are going at it on a Sunday 170 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: night when everyone's watching, and I think everyone felt that 171 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: and the energy was there from the crowd, the energy 172 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: was there from the players. We started fast, we played 173 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: with the lead, you know, all those things were you know, 174 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: coming to play, and I just we've got a lot 175 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: of night games. We've had nine games, five night games, 176 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: and I think those are gone for the rest of 177 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: the year. So you know, find a little rhythm and 178 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: in these day games now and try to keep pushing along. 179 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: We've got our whole season ahead of us, and seven wins, 180 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: as coach always says, doesn't get you anything in the NFL. 181 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: I mean, no one's handing out awards for seven wins, 182 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: and even though that's a decent record, at this point, 183 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: we've got our whole season ahead of us, and we still, 184 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna get hopefully some guys back from 185 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: injury here shortly, and you know, see if we can 186 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, become even more challenging to to defend um, 187 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, and we'll see how that goes as guys 188 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: kind of enter back into the lineup. You mentioned Josh 189 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: McDaniel's earlier TOMA. It felt like he's never had a 190 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: better night. It just felt like he called all the 191 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: right players. You had, no Gronk, no Michelle Um and 192 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: by comparison. Uh, it didn't feel like that Aaron Rodgers 193 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: had the kind of help around and you did even 194 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: without you know, stars like like gronk Um and the 195 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: announcing to email, Michaels and collins Worth. We're talking about 196 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel's future. He's back on the you know, on 197 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: the short list because his hometown, Cleveland's looking for a coach. 198 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: I mean, do you feel like he's gonna coach his 199 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: way back into another head coaching job sooner rather than later. Well, 200 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: I think Josh is pretty I mean you can ask 201 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: that to Josh, but I mean Josh will have as 202 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: many as much opportunity as anyone out there because he's 203 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: the best in the league at what he does. So 204 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna want that. And I know the Patriots want 205 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: him coaching for for us, So you know, he's under 206 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: contract with our team for a long time and that's 207 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: a great thing. That's a great thing for the Patriots. Hey, 208 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: the sneak, he's what you need to know. The whole world, 209 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: the whole I'd say the world. The whole world is 210 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: waiting and wondering when Brady's going to get to a 211 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: thousand yards. It's kind of a big deal. It's kind 212 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: of international. Now it's gone global. Everyone's counting down to 213 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: a thousand yards as simply going to stop the game, 214 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: give you the ball, bring your family out. No, it's 215 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: gonna be huge, but it's actually kind of an ambar accomplishment. 216 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: Although I saw the list. You're ahead of a lot 217 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: of guy, aren't you ahead of Drew Brees, You're ahead 218 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: of a yeah, Eli man, you ahead of a lot 219 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: of you contemporaries. You're about you're about nine hundred yards 220 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 1: ahead of Dan Marino. Yeah. Anyway, you set all set 221 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: up for a sneak and everyone's expecting you to sneak, 222 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: but it feels like even the other team is onto you. 223 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: They stacked the middle and made it impossible for you 224 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: to sneak at the goal on didn't they Yeah, on 225 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: those particular ones where we didn't make it, there was 226 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: a lot of coverage inside and we had, you know, 227 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: a chance on the outside and they've made a good 228 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: defensive play. And then the fourth down play, you know, 229 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: we just didn't execute very well. But I'm glad you 230 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: know that didn't end up being a difference in the game. 231 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: And when we get down there on the half yard line. 232 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: We expect to score one hundred percent of time. But 233 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, they played good defense and they have a 234 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: challenging scheme. I mean, it's not like it's an easy 235 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: defense to prepare for. But you know, in the end, 236 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: we just we made the plays we needed to make, 237 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: especially in the fourth quarter. I know last week, you 238 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: guys find out pretty late in the week, Tom that 239 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 1: rob Ronkowski was not going to be available. Uh, did 240 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: it feel like a similar scenario this week? And how 241 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: is he doing? Yeah, you know, it's just we're we 242 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: just it's it's really day to day with with him, 243 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: and you know, he's uh, you know, he worked so 244 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: hard and he wants to be out there so bad, 245 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: and everyone wants him to be out there feeling great 246 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: and you know, feeling like he can go out and 247 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: play the way that he wants to play. And he's been, 248 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: you know, fighting through some things, and the fact that 249 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: we took care of business without him playing is just 250 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: is a great thing for our team. I got a 251 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: stupid question. We haven't asked many of these lately, you know, 252 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: but when I when we were kids, and like in 253 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: high school, everyone knew on every on the team who 254 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: the fastest guy was It was just like a thing 255 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: everyone knew. Who could bench the most yea and who 256 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: could win? Who could beat up everyone else in a fight? Yeah? 257 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: Who's the fastest Patriot? Uh? Probably that's there would be 258 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: some competition for that. I'd say Patterson. Evan mccordy would 259 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 1: say it would be him. Mccordy got fast time, is 260 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: the fastest guy in the league last, which is amazing. 261 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: But I think and Matt Slater, I think would love 262 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: to challenge Devin for that in my view. So I 263 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: think those two guys just have having incredible speed. They're 264 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: kind of old for that title, aren't they. I mean, 265 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: think about it, they got young guys that I would 266 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: have guessed Patterson a door set. Yeah, And I think 267 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: CP would love to get in on that too, And 268 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: I think Philip would love to get on that too. 269 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's I mean, you're talking about tens 270 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: of a second. So all right, who's the strongest, Uh, 271 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: good question? Probably Marcus Cannon? And who could beat up 272 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: every other guy one on one in a fight? Who 273 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: would win the fight pound for pound? Yeah? Oh man, 274 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: that's a good question. I would say David Andrews. But 275 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: he would just hit and then raise up his arms 276 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: until see what the refs catch the other day is 277 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: pretty tough. I mean all the guys up front. I'm 278 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: in the old line, and I wouldn't want to mess 279 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: with any of those guys. So there's a there's a 280 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: mean streak in offensive line, and if you kind of 281 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: crossed one of those guys, I wouldn't say it's going 282 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: to go very well. Did you think about saying noo 283 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: to Red Sox manager Alex Corr with the on field 284 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: selfie seconds before the game was no, man, I was 285 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: good with that. He should get whatever he wants, So 286 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: you get the World championship like that. I'll do anything 287 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: for that for Alex. Time. Now the quarterback question of 288 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: the week. You played with them, you threw touchdown passes 289 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: to him, your your goal against him as coach next week, 290 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel, did you know at any point playing with 291 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: him Tom that he was going to be a head 292 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: coach someday in the NFL. Well, Mike would be successful 293 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: in anything he does in like because he's you know, 294 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: he's that kind of guy. He's just We've been friends 295 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: for almost twenty years and we keep in touch regularly. 296 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: And I mean he's just he's smart, hard working, he's 297 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: so charismatic. It's a great coach. He's you know, proved 298 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: that he was a great player, just a great leader 299 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: of men. And you know, Tennessee's lucky to have him. 300 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: So I love playing with them. Uh you know, I 301 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: love hanging with them, and I'm sure those guys love 302 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: playing for them down in Tennessee. It's gonna be a 303 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: great game. They got a very good defense, they got 304 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: some some real playmakers on offense. So um, you know, 305 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: we already started studying for those guys, and uh, you know, 306 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great game. We got, we got 307 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: a great opportunity ahead of us to get to eight 308 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: and two and then a buye.
