1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Still good morning. I want to check in about Juju Smith.

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 2: Schuster noted you mentioned last night that he was a

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: major factor in the game as part of the receiver

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: rotation early on, but that changed obviously towards the end

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 2: of the game as injuries came. About what do you

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: perceive his role currently is on the team and do

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: you expect him to be a major part of the

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: receiver snaps moving forward if guys like Parker and Born

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 2: aren't available.

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 3: Well, look, Juju's you know, missed a couple of games there,

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 3: and it was good to get him back yesterday. And

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: you know did a good job for us, you know

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: when he when he got his opportunities there later in

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: a game. So you know, it looks like he you know,

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: will be physically ready to go. So be good to

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: have him back.

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: Thank you. Chris Bardon, Good morning, Bill.

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: How important is it to you that your players are

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 4: protected and do you feel like they are being protected in.

20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: These the I guess this last game?

21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks, really important.

22
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: And what is the process that you go through if

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: you feel like that is not happening.

24
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 3: Oh, let's hope it happens.

25
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 5: Next question, Chris Brian called that means feel morning, Bill,

26
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 5: just be kind of your general message to UH to

27
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 5: the team at this point regarding you know, sticking with

28
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 5: the process opposed to you know, thinking about record and

29
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 5: things of that nature.

30
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: And obviously all the injuries it took place.

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 5: It's kind of a general mess.

32
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: Such the group in terms.

33
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 6: Of its continuing to be on the path you want

34
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 6: them to be on.

35
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'll talk to him today, you know, talk

36
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 3: briefly in the locker room after the game, but we'll

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: talk to him today and and you know, just go

38
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: from there.

39
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 7: Regard to Kyle Dougars's performance yesterday, just generally your thoughts

40
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 7: on how he how he played, how active he was,

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 7: but also some of his developments you've seen as a

42
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 7: leader and an individual that seems like a big a

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 7: playmaker on that side of the ball.

44
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kyle had a lot of production yesterday. You know,

45
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: when Juan went out, you know, he took over the

46
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: signal calling, so he does a good job in that area.

47
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Kyle's a smart kid that helps

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: us in a lot of different ways, and versatile player

49
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: in the running game, passing game, kicking game. So yeah,

50
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: he's he had you know, had a productive day yesterday.

51
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 8: Thank you well.

52
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Especially me and steel.

53
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 9: Kay, Bill, what are you thinking heading into the trade

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 9: deadline tomorrow balancing what you currently have with getting a

55
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 9: head start maybe on next year.

56
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. We just got back from Miami late last night

57
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: and so working through the game, you know, deal with

58
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: that here over whatever period of time there is.

59
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, especially my frieze.

60
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 4: On the guards, Bill, was that part of the plan

61
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 4: going in to rotate the two rookies.

62
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, play all three guys and on wise on defense,

63
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 8: how much was his uh what he was on the

64
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 8: jury report, how much was that sort of a factor

65
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 8: and what you could do.

66
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: With him as part of the game plan, what he

67
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 4: was dealing with physically.

68
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, dat's a tough kid. He's out there and

69
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: some things to work around, But you know, I thought

70
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: he competed well.

71
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: And then the last one I had was on time

72
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: of possession. They possessed it almost thirty six minutes, and

73
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: obviously the fourth bounds were part of that.

74
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: But when you watch the game over, what did you

75
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: see as they I mean, I'm sure it's a combination

76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 4: of factors, but what did you see as maybe the

77
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: things that contributed most to that disparity.

78
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like you said, my combination of factors both

79
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 3: sides contributed to that.

80
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: He's still called, like Chris Ryan.

81
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 9: Back to the deadline. When those meetings with the personnel

82
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 9: department take place, what will your thoughts be, what will

83
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 9: your pitch be to them?

84
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: You'll depending on what we're talking about. I mean, I

85
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: don't know.

86
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: The last two questions, Chris Ban and from out on

87
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: player safety.

88
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 5: What is kind of a marriage in your view between

89
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: how the officials officiate.

90
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 6: The game and how the players you know, play the

91
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 6: game and instances where you know when it's targeting the

92
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 6: helmet in terms of that nature, I mean, what are

93
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 6: you looking for in terms of how you teach players

94
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 6: about how they're supposed to play and what role does

95
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 6: the officiating play and you know, making sure that things.

96
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: Are taken care of.

97
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 3: I'm not following it, Chris, But I mean, how do

98
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: I how do I feel about the way we teach it?

99
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: Like we teach what the rules are, we teach players safety,

100
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 3: We teach all the things that you're not allowed to do.

101
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: We drill so we don't do those. So I don't

102
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about. We don't teach targeting.

103
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: We don't teach leading with the head. We don't teach tripping,

104
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: we don't teach face masks, we don't teach horse callers.

105
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: We don't teach any of that stuff. We never teach that,

106
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 3: never have. We teach the exact opposite of how to

107
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: do it properly, so we don't get those infractions.

108
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: Now.

109
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 3: Inevitably, sometimes they occur, but that's never taught.

110
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 6: This is like yesterday, It's been more of an onus

111
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 6: on the player knowing what he's supposed to be doing

112
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 6: in that instance and not you know, targeting with with

113
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 6: the helmet or an official for not you know, calling

114
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 6: it in that instance.

115
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: How does that kind of balance in.

116
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: Your do.

117
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 3: Well, Chris, you control it. You can control. We can't

118
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: control what the official does. We control what we do,

119
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 3: and we try to do things properly, and we struck

120
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 3: them properly. But look, inevitably, sometimes things happened that coach

121
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 3: doesn't want to happen, the player doesn't.

122
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 8: Want to happen.

123
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: Sometimes they happen, but I don't think they're intentional. That's

124
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: that's not the case on our end. I can't. I'm

125
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: not speaking for anybody else. I'm just saying we don't

126
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 3: coach that. I don't think our players intentionally do those things.

127
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: Do they occur occasionally? Yeah, sometimes they do, but I

128
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: don't think they Nobody wants to get penalized out there.

129
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: We're not intentionally doing things to get.

130
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 5: Penalized, right, Just to be clear, I was referring to that,

131
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 5: you know Parker instance where.

132
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 6: He was hit, not saying that there was anything from

133
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 6: your direction, but just wondering how the kind of by

134
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 6: play exist between you know, how coaches.

135
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: Coaching versus officials, you know, official as instance, and what

136
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: type of role they play.

137
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: Just to fireby thank you. Last question to come out

138
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: on the radio.

139
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: A short while ago, you mentioned that it's impossible to

140
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: handle all the duties of being a head coach and

141
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: also all the duties of sort of doing all the

142
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: jobs that is required of running a personnel apartment. I

143
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: guess sort of to give us aboutter understanding, what is

144
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: the procedure for the New England Patriots for seeking trades

145
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: and going through trades, because, as you said.

146
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: Just coming off Miami and getting back and.

147
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: That doesn't give you a whole lot of one way

148
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: between now and the trade deadline what's the process of

149
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: the personnel department coming to you with this sort of

150
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: action they're.

151
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Hearing on the trade deadline? And how does that sort

152
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: of get run up the ladder for you guys?

153
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: And how much time can you devote to yourself to

154
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: making decisions heading into trade deadline?

155
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: How difficult is it for you?

156
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: Personal department hals coaching apartment hales coaching. We join together

157
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: on a regular basis to talk about both and if

158
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: things come up that are applicable, then.

159
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 8: We act on them.

160
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: So we need something on a coaching and we make

161
