1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Steve Belichick joins us. Now we'll start with the question 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: from Eric rud Steve, you know, I don't know if 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: you watch the game last night, but I know you're 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: more than familiar with what Kansas City brings to the table. 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: Is there a good way or is there any way 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: to kind of prepare for what they do? As far 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: as I feel like over being over aggressive as a 8 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: bad idea, sitting back as a bad idea. They just 9 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: do so much well, So how do you kind of 10 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: balance preparing for a team like that? Yeah, that's a 11 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: great question, Eric, and that's what we're trying to figure out. 12 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: What the best way to attack these guys are they do? 13 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 1: They do everything well, So we'll definitely have our hands full. 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: They're they're dangerous at at every position. They always got 15 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: eleven good players on the field, so um yeah, we 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: definitely have our hands full. If you take something with 17 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: and they'll beat you with something else. So um yeah, 18 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: we as always we got our work cut out for us. 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: But is it fun to kind of prepare for games 20 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: like this where where there's so you know, kind of 21 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: that football nerds side kicks in and you really want 22 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: to like dig in and see what you can do 23 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: against a team like this. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's uh, 24 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: that's our job. Yeah, it's always fun, you know, to 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: attack new schemes, to uh to learn about new schemes 26 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: and uh try and put together a game plan uh 27 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: to uh to get after these guys. So yeah, hopefully 28 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: we can come up with something good. Um, we're working 29 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: working through it all right now, so it will see 30 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: what we can come up with. Because you have you 31 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: can continue. I don't see your hands raised, all right, Mike, 32 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: just you can just stop me once if someone else 33 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: comes in. But uh, Steve, if there's speed, you know 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: d I talked a little bit about it too, it's 35 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: can you replicate Is there any way to replicate that? 36 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: Or you just kind of do it to the best 37 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: of your abilities, because I don't think you know, there's 38 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of four two four three speed guys just 39 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: sitting around you can use for practice players. No, yeah, 40 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: that's a that's a great point, um, Eric And yeah, 41 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: they uh they got speed, speed at every position. Um, 42 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: they're athletic, they're dangerous. Um, like I said, they they 43 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: do everything well. So, um, we're gonna have to figure 44 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: out how to stop some of this, and and like 45 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: I said, they do a great job of of complimenting 46 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: everything they do. Um, so you know, if you take 47 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: one thing away, then they'll hit you with something else. 48 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: If you take two things away, then they'll have a 49 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: third four options to uh to to try and combat that. 50 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: So as it is, every week, it's a huge challenge 51 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: and we need to be ready to go. How how 52 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: hard has it been on you and the coaching staff? 53 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: Just was kind of the stretch we're in. You know 54 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: obviously with Seattle two weeks ago and the Raiders you 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: know they brought a lot to the table last week, 56 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: and now with Kansas City this this kind of stretch 57 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: you with these offenses you're playing. Yeah, I mean, you 58 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: know we play and good teams every week. Each team, Uh, 59 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: they present different challenges. So um, you know there's there's 60 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: we put a lot of work into every week. Um. 61 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: You know they're all tough, they're all tough games. There's 62 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: no gimmes in the NFL. UM, So we're always ready 63 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: for everybody a shot, and uh hopefully they're ready for ours. 64 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: Uh have you have you been excited with kind of 65 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: the way some of these you know, these hi guys 66 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: have been playing for you with you know, Juwanta I 67 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: took did a great job last week against Waller. And 68 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: then you know, Phillips has been you know, pretty good 69 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: this year and Dougger's you know, showing a lot for rookie. 70 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: Have they have they gone beyond your expectations right now? Um, 71 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if they. I have really uh gone 72 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: back to reflect on you know what the expectations were. Um. 73 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: You know, um, we count on everybody on defense. You know, 74 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: it's not like college where we got one hundred and 75 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: twenty man roster. We got, um, you know, twenty to 76 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: twenty five players on defense, and and we count on 77 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: on everybody took contribute. So um uh we expect the 78 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: hot level of performance and yeah, some plays are better olers, 79 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: but we expect everybody to show up and and put 80 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: a good performance out there on the field. You know. 81 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: And Chase on Sunday after the game, you know, you 82 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: guys gave up some yards but didn't give up a 83 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: lot of points. And I'd ask him about the ben 84 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: but don't break and he says, we don't do that here. 85 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: That's that's not something we preach. I mean, would you 86 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: would you agree with that that ben ben but don't 87 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: break doesn't exist in New England's Um. Yeah, I don't 88 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: know if if that's a you know term that we 89 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: throw out a lot you know on no player were 90 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 1: trying to to give up yards or let our opponent, um, 91 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,799 Speaker 1: you know gain some plays. Um, I mean it's football. 92 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: So at the same time, you know you're gonna give up, 93 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: give up a play here or there, and you just 94 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: gotta to rebound, have a short term mentality and be 95 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: ready to go on the next place. So I would 96 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: necessarily it's a ben don't break mentality. It's just um, 97 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, expect to uh, expect to put out a 98 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: good performance play after play, down after down, and and 99 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: if you give up a play then then forget about 100 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: it to move on. And if you make a play, 101 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: forget about it and move on. You know, there's there's 102 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: a lot of plays in the game. You just gotta 103 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: gotta be ready for them all. And what kind of 104 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: any preparations are and change some preparation with playing a 105 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: game in front of actual fans this week? No, no, 106 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: I mean me personally, that's that's not important. I mean, 107 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: it's not like the games count any less or they're 108 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: not as important as as games that were last season 109 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: when we had fans. I mean, we're still going out 110 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: there to win. Um, it's obviously a little bit different 111 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: atmosphere without there being fans. But you know, some teams 112 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: have or some stadiums got there, some don't. UM, I 113 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: mean that's that's irrelevant to me. We just got Our 114 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: job is to go out there and perform, no matter 115 00:05:54,040 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: who's in the stands, home, away night Day, Monday, Sunday, Thursday, whenever, 116 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: whenever the game scares what we need to go out 117 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: there and play well on defense. That's that's our job, 118 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: and that's that's what we try and get our players 119 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: to do. Hey, Steve, sorry if you got asked about 120 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: Chase already today, but I just wanted to ask you 121 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: just where have you seen his biggest improvement this season? 122 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: And uh, and just what you think of his performance 123 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: so far through three games. Yeah, you know, I think 124 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: I think Chase has done a great job for us. UM. 125 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: We've gotten contributions from a from a lot of different 126 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: guys on defense. UM, we count on everybody out there. UM, 127 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: Chase specifically, he's been doing a good job. You know, 128 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: he's a versatile player. He does a lot of things well. 129 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: He plays hard, he's got a good motor. Um. Yeah, 130 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: and we're counting on Chase to to do a lot 131 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: for us throughout the course of the rest of the season. 132 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: He actually told me last year that he keeps a 133 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: notebook of notes from tackles that he goes up to 134 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: up again so that he can like prepare for him. 135 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: How how do you just see him study, you know 136 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: when it comes to you know, learning his opponent and 137 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: knowing what kind of the right tackle or the left tackle, 138 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: and what their kind of strengths are and stuff like that. 139 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean I think I think most players 140 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: try and do that, and uh, you know, every every 141 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: defensive player has a different skill set, different strengths and weaknesses. Um. 142 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of teams play us differently, um 143 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: than they do other teams. We got we got a 144 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: different scheme than other teams, just like every defense different. 145 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: So um, you know, it's it's very important to know 146 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: to know your opponents, know who you're going up against 147 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: the uh and be prepared to h to attack them 148 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: the best we can. So um yeah, there's always some 149 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: some carryover, especially with division games or or Kansas City 150 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: or whoever it may be going against them, you know, 151 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: once once or twice a year. But um, every game 152 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: is different, every schemes different. So we just try and 153 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: know our opponents, know the offense that we're going against, 154 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: know their style play, and and react to that the 155 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: best we can. I don't see you another hands are 156 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: he will pause for a second thing, But it's a 157 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: final question for Steve. Please mute your line and ask, 158 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: can I ask one more question about Chase just that 159 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: I just wanted to know. You know, his speed rush 160 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: obviously seems to be a really effective move for him, 161 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: but have you seen him develop other rush moves on 162 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: top of that, just you know, to have other things 163 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: in his bag? So I speak, yeah, yeah, I mean 164 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: it's tough to it's tough to be a one dimensional player, 165 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: and you know there's guys who have done it, but 166 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: those are some of the elite ones. I'm not saying 167 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: Chase isn't. But you know, it's always good to have 168 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: a second and third, second and third move and be 169 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: able to to not just be a one trick pony. 170 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: So um, I think Chase has done a good job 171 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: developing some some different ways to attack the offensive line, 172 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: and hopefully keep doing it. Okay, thank you very much, Steve, 173 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: Thanks Steve. Thanks you guys have a good day. Thanks Steve.
