1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Joining us live is Bill Belichick. Hello, Bill, Um, Hey

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: Glen Christ how are you all right? Okay? I think

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: we get the answer. A rough one there in in Houston.

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: So let's let's start with four losses. Now, where your

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: team has certain we've been in the game at the end, Bill,

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: they've had an opportunity to win four of these games,

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: that have lost four of them and it's come down

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: to that last possession, and your team has been unable

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: to make the big play. And I know you believe

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: in certain things. When there is a pattern, that means

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: there is a problem, especially when it's things aren't going well.

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: What is the problem and how do you fix it? Yeah?

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: Well I think there's Um, you know, we had a

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities yesterday and my last drive was one

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: of them. But there there were a lot of other

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: things that came up in the game that we could

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: have done better, um coach better played better that wouldn't

18
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: would have helped us along. So I don't think we

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: just focus on, you know, one or two plays at

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: the end of the game, although they were, you know,

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: as they always are, you know, critical plays, but there

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: were there are a lot of other things that Um,

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: contributed in the game as well. So we'll just continue

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: to try to build on the positives and correct the

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: things that we need to, you know, try to do better. Coach,

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: what does it say about your team that that you're

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: in that position to win the game? You know, we

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: know what what what what the end is, but the

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: fact that you're in there, in that position is has

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: got to be worth something, right, Um, Yeah, I mean

31
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: we you know, we we've been competitive. We just you know,

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: just come up a little bit sure a few times,

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I just got to try to, like

34
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: I said, keep working on the things that we're doing

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: well and and try and improve the things that we

36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: can do better to you know, that'll help us more. Coach.

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a couple of weeks ago. Cam was

38
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: on the Morning Show and he had said something about

39
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: you told the team that you know that listening to

40
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: this league changes every couple of weeks and then you're

41
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: a lot better than the record show, and I think

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: that was going into that Baltimore game. So we were

43
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: just talking about you're in a lot of these games

44
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: that you happen to lose. So now you're sitting there

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: four and six, do you feel still feel that way

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: about your team. You're better than the record shows. I

47
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: don't think I ever said that. I think, you know,

48
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: we we've just got to keep working to get better.

49
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,279
Speaker 1: We'll take them one a week at a time, and

50
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: you don't try to get better this week against Arizon,

51
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything about our record. How much talking

52
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: about there? Well that was Cam Newton. Cam Newton was

53
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: on the morning show with Danielle and mentioned that, right.

54
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: But if you're asking me, what I think you know

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: is are we better than our record? Our records? Our record?

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: You were asked after the game last night about pressure

57
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: on Deshaun Watson and you're referred back to last year's

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: game and how it didn't work when you did a

59
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: year ago. So I'm wondering what happened yesterday. They had

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: seven passes of over twenty yards. He had plenty of

61
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: time to throw. Where were the breakdowns with a different

62
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: type of game plan against this specific quarterback. Well, I mean, look,

63
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: they have they have a good they have a good offense.

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: I have a good quarterback, they have good receivers and

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: a good tight ends and I got good backs. So

66
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: they're a hard team to defend and so we just

67
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: got to do a better job of it, you know, coach,

68
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: better play better and just execute it better. Yeah, they

69
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: heard us on a few things and you know that

70
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: was I just got to try to do better on

71
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: those red area third down. You know, we had some

72
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: opportunities to so that makes some plays and get off

73
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: the field and we're able to capitalize on So jj

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Watt was was real active. He got his hands on

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: four passes about it down four passes and um, I'm

76
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: just curious, is there is there something to do with

77
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: the way Cam releases the ball? Is it too flat?

78
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: Is there something to do with his release point that

79
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: that gave what, like, you know, more opportunities. M I

80
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: mean I feel back and look at each individual play.

81
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: But you know, look, he's a big, long guys playing

82
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: on the left side defensive right, they're offensive right. You know,

83
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: he's he's batted down a few balls in his career.

84
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: So a couple of times we had, you know, show

85
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: our quicker throws and you know he's our guy to

86
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: throw around. Coach Damian Harris c last was a three

87
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: four weeks. Actually's running the ball real well. I know

88
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: the first two drives had I think seven carries thirty

89
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: six yards and I think just four carries after that

90
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: was did detections show you guys something different they were

91
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: doing this year to kind of maybe him not to

92
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: get those running opportunities? Was it? Well what they showed you? Well,

93
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: I mean we had quite a good success thrown them

94
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: Allay threw from must three and fifty yards. So yeah,

95
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: and that first half though, I mean we went in

96
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: a half time trailing and you seem like got to

97
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: the first two drives. He just got away from him,

98
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: just because I know, go into the game. But a

99
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: lot of people, you look at this Houston Texas team though,

100
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: I think the worst rush defense in the league. It

101
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: just thought it was gonna be a big Damian Harris day. Yeah,

102
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: well they know they made it. Look they're well coached,

103
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: they've got good players. They did a good job of

104
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, do know some things and run a game

105
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: that we're you know that we're made it more end

106
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: of the day. So I throw the ball. So we

107
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: had a lot of production throwing. I mean we're gonna

108
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: be able to throw it for her that you know,

109
00:05:53,200 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: that type of production. Think you let's keep well, I

110
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: would say that the take advantage of the opportunities. I'm

111
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: not un let's to tell you, lout, I'm not coach,

112
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: I'm not questioning you. I'm just curious, that's all. I

113
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: just he didn't run the ball after that, and I

114
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: just I don't know started what's that. I wouldn't say

115
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: we didn't run the ball. We ran about four times

116
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: after the first couple of drives. That's all all right.

117
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you about because you talk

118
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: all the time about sustained drives, keeping your offense out

119
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: there on the field, and you had a drive that

120
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: went sixteen plays, nine and a half minutes, and yet

121
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: you ended up getting a thirty six yard field goal

122
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: out of it, um when you really needed a touchdown.

123
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: How much does something like that hurt when you're doing

124
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: everything you need to do to keep your offense on

125
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: the field to keep a sustained drive and then you

126
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: leave four points out there. Well, like I said, the

127
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: red area is definitely an area we could have you know,

128
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: we could have done better in on both sides of

129
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: the ball. That would have helped us, uh, you know,

130
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: a lot, like it always does. So you know, just

131
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: just needed to be more effective than all the red area.

132
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: They just let's say, across the fifty in general, you know,

133
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: there were there were some you know you talk about

134
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, passing game, you know, great great day throwing

135
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: the football, um guys and one day it's um seems

136
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: like there's one guy steps up. So yesterday with demere

137
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: Bird had a huge day, had a great catch for

138
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown, great adjustment with the ball in the air.

139
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: And we've been really talking a lot about Jacoby Myers. Um,

140
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: I just thought maybe you can you know, was it

141
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: something that were they taken away Jacoby Myers or was

142
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: it you know Demere Bird just you know working to

143
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: get open and then having those opportunities. Well again, yeah,

144
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: just depends on the play that called and the coverage

145
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: that they play. You know, Heason's the team that runs

146
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: multiple coverages, so it's plays aren't designed to go to

147
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: a certain individuals. They're designed, you know, go to the

148
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: open guy. So Kam did a good job of making

149
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: good decisions of the vault getting into the open player. Man.

150
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: We used our backs to use our receivers um and

151
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: you know some of those throws um that were you

152
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: know against heavier coverage inside you know, you know, outside

153
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: with so is it um Is it fair to say

154
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: that maybe this goes without saying coach is um Rex

155
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: burkett Is is a tough guy to replace. Yeah, Rec

156
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: does a lot of things for us. Sure does four

157
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: down player coach another week? Kyle Dugger kind of Um,

158
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. This guy just always seems to be

159
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: on the line, hitting everybody in sight. Is that just

160
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: something that you love seeing from a young kid? I mean,

161
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, given where he came from Division two, I

162
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: think it was I don't even know, coming in here

163
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: and just being physical in a very physical league. Just

164
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: this young in his career. Yeah, Charles an aggressive player

165
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: as a good contact player, like a style of player.

166
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: When you were talking with us a few weeks back,

167
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: we were talking about obvious stuff right now when you're

168
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: playing more of these younger players, and Douglas made some

169
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: big plays, and who Chase made some big plays. Win

170
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: of its second year. Guys made some big plays. But

171
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: do you have to treat it differently this year with

172
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: these young players that you have to be a little

173
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: bit more patient with them because you're relying on them

174
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: right now where they make a good play on one

175
00:09:49,240 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: play and then the next play bill Is. I mean,

176
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: I think we're trying to coach a team. I've always

177
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: coached the same way for the staff. You know, we

178
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: try to prepare the players and give an opportunity to

179
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: execute the things that we prepare them for and go

180
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: out there and doom. And then you know, you have

181
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: to make adjustments during the game, of course, based on

182
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: how the game's going, and you know what your opponent's doing,

183
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: so forth. You know, I say it a whole lot

184
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: different than that coach you ended that game. I think,

185
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, nineteen seconds left, Houston's punting the ball

186
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: and I don't especially last year, you guys had so

187
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: much success kind of getting in, getting into punter's face,

188
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: blocking punts. What goes into the decisions to go after

189
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: the punt or to set up say your return, Um,

190
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: what do you think to us? What do you think

191
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: of us? Strategy? What do you think to us? Thing

192
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: you can do there? So you know that's what we did.

193
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: I wouldn't you know, based on what happened yesterday, I

194
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: probably do the same thing again. We didn't really give

195
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: what we were looking for there, but you know, then

196
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: that's the where it goes. So some not that's the

197
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: way it doesn't. A kicking game doesn't always doesn't aways

198
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: work out quite the way that you Yeah, it's not

199
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: even you can't control everything in a kicking game. So

200
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: but we you know, played, we thought were you know,

201
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: the right percentages. Everybody just you know, it didn't work out. So, um,

202
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: out of the frying pan, into the fire. From you

203
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: go from Lamar Jackson to Deshaun Watson now to Kyler Murray. Um,

204
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: and you also see one of your old players. Um,

205
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: what do you remember? Um? I guess what stands out

206
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: with Cliff Kingsbury when he was here, any indication that

207
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: he would be a head coach? Well, yeah, I mean

208
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: Cliff was a you know, rookie, was a young player.

209
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: We drafted him and um, it's just trying to learn

210
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: as much about our offense and our system and the

211
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: NFL as he could. You know, close a smart guys,

212
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: hard working kid, loves football. Um, and it was always

213
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: a pleasure to be around and have around, upbeat personality.

214
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: Um but you know, really I always try to do

215
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: the right thing and be a good teammate and helping

216
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: anybody he could, So I totally respect that. Yeah, I

217
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: remember him having just a lot of notes. Like there

218
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: was like like the pad that whatever he was writing

219
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: on was like heavier than most other people. I mean

220
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: maybe that was a good sign. Yeah. Well again, you

221
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: know Cliff was a good good learn paid attention. You know,

222
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: I had a good um you know there's for knowledge

223
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: and I said, love football. So so you faced these

224
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: quick athlete nick quarterbacks, how would you describe Kyler Murray?

225
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: You know, he's very athletic, um quick and fast. It's

226
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: like he said, you know, it really has a lot

227
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: of tools. Throw the ball. Well, um, it's hard to tackle,

228
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: canna escape the pocket, extend plays, he's hard to depend

229
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, good receivers and obviously Hopkins at sir tight

230
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: end Drake. They're a lot of good players. They move

231
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, score points. All right, well it's

232
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: time for the question of the week. I always chuckle

233
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: when I read that. I don't know, maybe because Bill's

234
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: just you're just sitting there waiting for me to finish.

235
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: All right, coach. So Thanksgiving obviously is this Thursday, and

236
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: I was thinking about have you ever celebrated Thanksgiving where

237
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: football it wasn't a part of it? No, never, It's

238
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: always every No, matter when it's now, is it it's

239
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: obviously changed for you as a older You've you've gotten.

240
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: Is there one Thanksgiving UM celebration that stands out more

241
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: than the rest? Oh, We've played and we played some

242
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: games on Thanksgiving, UM played Thanksgiving games in high school.

243
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving was always when I was a kid, Thanksgiving was

244
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: always the Thursday before the Army and Navy game on Saturday.

245
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: So that was a big weekend. So Thursday was Thanksgiving.

246
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: Friday it was a pepper Alley go to Philadelphia. Saturday

247
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: was the Army Navy game, so that was it was

248
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: always a big weekend. And you know the Thursday game

249
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: was like Texas, Texas A and m or Nebraska Oklahoma

250
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: or somebody like that. UM so that Army game was

251
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: kind of the only game in the week before I

252
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: was Michigan, Otto State in Auburn, Alabama, USA, the USC.

253
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's a big intersectional for those UM conference

254
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: type rivalries. So it was always a big growing up.

255
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: And then obviously you know in the NFL, so you

256
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: know football definitely Thanksgiving it revolves in our football from

257
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: a scheduled standpoint, and Detroit we played those Thanksgiving games,

258
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: played Detroit here and um, I don't whatever year that was, Oh,

259
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, five year we played Detroit out there somewhere,

260
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: so anyway, So yeah, it's always been it's always been

261
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: a part of it. It's a shame the high school

262
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: kids and I get the opportunity to play in Thanksgiving,

263
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: especially the scene you streuss me. It's a problem in

264
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: our soul. Yeah, it's a shame. Yeah. Now, when I

265
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: was in high school, we have you know, Napolis and

266
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: Severna Park always played on Thanksgiving Day and that was

267
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: a big, big day, just like you know in a

268
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: Massa Chusetts high school Thanksgiving games. So that was you know,

269
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: that always made it, Yeah, a special day there too,

270
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, not just Thanksgiving dinner, but you know, football

271
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: game and everything else. So it was it's always been

272
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: a part of it. Yeah, real shame. Conversation with the
