1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Well, good morning, happy to be here first time. It's

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: a lot, it's a lot, but I'm excited for the

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to speak with you guys, and hopefully you guys

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: come out of here with some clarity as far as

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: our strategy is concerned, as far as our team buildings

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: is concerned, fire Away.

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: Maybe just start with that.

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 3: I mean, is there a clarity that you would begin with.

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: You know, the clarity I we will begin with is

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: free agency.

11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: Obviously, the media of the fans, everyone wants that big,

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: that big signing. But at the same time, as we

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: continue to put this team together, I think there's there

14
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: has to be a process. It has to be a

15
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: methodical process. And look, when when there is a guy

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: that we want to get, the Crafts have already told

17
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: us like they'll spend the minute. And I would say, offensively,

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: this year, we were very picky as far as the

19
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: players that we were as far as the players that

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: we were getting. Uh and at the same time that

21
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: wasn't really a deep offensive free agent class even make

22
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: that type of splash.

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: Now what I'm saying that you know, the draft is

24
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: coming up.

25
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: There will still be conversations as far as trades, and

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: things like that, and guys will be released. So this

27
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: is a process that's gonna go on all the way

28
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: until after the draft.

29
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 4: Is it frustrating at all to have the conversation, well,

30
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 4: we're gonna do a number of things to weaponize the office,

31
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 4: and then get to the store and say, well, the

32
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 4: shelves aren't really stuck with the things we need.

33
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it is frustrating, But at the same time,

34
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: I think one of the number one priorities we had

35
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: was to sign our players back. And I think, you know,

36
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: it's not a popular pick to sign an offensive lineman

37
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: to a big deal, but at the same time, he's

38
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: a critical piece to our team and we want to

39
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: take care of our own. And I think that was

40
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: really the strategy going into it. Now that we did

41
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: have targets that we wanted that it just didn't work out.

42
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: But when it's all sat and.

43
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: Downe we want guys that want to be a part

44
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: of this process, want to be a part of the

45
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: next chapter.

46
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: In New England history. A lot of people will have.

47
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 5: Sort of clung onto your statement about burning some camp.

48
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 5: Do you regret that, No, I.

49
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Don't regret it. Look, I'm a first year head coach.

50
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: I didn't mean like burn some cash.

51
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: I know we have a.

52
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: Lot of cash to utilize, but we are going to

53
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: utilize it the right way. We have to be very

54
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: convicted when we do spend that cash. But ownership has

55
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: done a good job just letting Elliot and I know

56
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: that we have the cash to spend, just try to

57
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: spend it smart.

58
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 6: When you look at your team, do you consider it

59
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 6: a four win team? Or Bill purselves would say you

60
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 6: are what your record says you are.

61
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, honestly, this team is gonna look different

62
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: than last year's team, even though even if you were

63
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: to look at last year, I would say there were

64
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: opportunities to win more than four games and we just

65
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: fell short. Look, we'll see as the team continues to

66
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: come together how many wins. I can't give you a

67
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: prediction on how many wins will have, but what I

68
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: will say is that we'll put a competitive team out

69
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: there on the field. Uh and look not only on

70
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: the field, but also off the field. And that's what

71
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: we're trying to do here in the land.

72
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 7: Like the roster, it looks like there's still some needs

73
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 7: a quarterback, tack on wide receiver, are you confident you

74
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 7: guys can still fill those before the season.

75
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm confident that yeah, we get we can absolutely fill

76
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: those roles. And saying that though it's gonna take time,

77
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna take time. Look our our philosophy as far

78
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: as putting this this roster together. Look, you want to

79
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: draft and develop. When it's all said and done, you

80
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: want to draft and develop. And I have one hundred

81
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: percent confidence and Elliott and his staff weaponizing the offense

82
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: and really getting us better.

83
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: As an overall team.

84
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: I know everyone wants to talk about the offense, but

85
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: one thing that you guys have heard from BB and

86
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: that I've learned from uh Bill was you know, just

87
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: that all three phases are very important and planning that

88
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: complimentary football is definitely something that Elliott understands.

89
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: I understand and the rest of the staff.

90
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 8: How many questions field there is on this draft classroom

91
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 8: to talk about feeling needs? You know, left tackle, receiver, quarterback,

92
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 8: those are three big needs that can be tough to fill.

93
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 8: You know how much pressure is on this twenty four plus.

94
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Honestly, I don't feel those three positions that you just

95
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: spoke up. I would say this draft has quite a

96
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: few guys that can fill those roles. And look, we

97
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: had we sit at a very enviable spot at number

98
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: three where we could take someone at three or you know,

99
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: if someone offers a bag, as we would say, you

100
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: know a lot, you know a lot of first round picks.

101
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: We definitely have to, you know, talk about those things

102
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: as we continue to put together this team. You said it,

103
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: there are holes on this team, but also but I

104
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: would also say there will be people available going forward

105
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: to feel those.

106
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 9: Sorry, So just to confirm you, guys that were open

107
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 9: to training number three and Elliott not being here, does

108
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 9: that complicate matters at all?

109
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: The crazy thing, Look, we are open. We're open to

110
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, trading the pick. We're open to taking a

111
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: guy there. And look, the crazy thing is there we

112
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: have telephones at this point. Elliott didn't come because he's

113
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: doing a lot.

114
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: Of work back home.

115
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: And I don't say that to be disrespectful, but what

116
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: I would say is.

117
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: Uh, he's doing a lot.

118
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: He's working, and his staff is working through the weekends,

119
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: and honestly, I would rather be doing that to be

120
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: sitting here.

121
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 2: When you look at how Max's tenure with the Patriots ended,

122
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: what did you learn from that experience and what sort

123
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: of things will you apply as you look forward to

124
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: potentially drafting them.

125
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: Or yeah, you know, you know mac Jones came in,

126
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: it had a lot of success early on.

127
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: Uh. We always talk about that jump.

128
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: From year one to year two and how significant, uh

129
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: that year is or that bridge is the year two,

130
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: and I would say there was a combination of things,

131
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: you know that really kind of hindered that growth in

132
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: the second year. One thing I did learn about that

133
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: that process was as you continue to develop a quarterback,

134
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: it's not only the players you put around them, but

135
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: also the coaches that you put around this guy. Not

136
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: only the coaches, but it can go all the way

137
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: to the ops scenes and things like that. To support

138
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: a guy who plays the most most important position in

139
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: sports and to ask him as a rookie to come

140
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: in is always going to be tough.

141
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: And then you get the year two. You want to

142
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: see that jump.

143
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: You get the year three, you would want to see

144
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: success like this, you know, just straight line, but realistically

145
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: that's not what it is.

146
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 2: It's like a bunch of ups and downs.

147
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: And uh, I think just supporting a quarterback is one

148
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: of the biggest things and I would also say this,

149
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: you gotta bring a guy like Jacobean. Look, he's definitely

150
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: a starter in this league. And I would also say

151
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: it's a good mentor the quarterbacks across the league.

152
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: Do you feel do you feel that the roster and

153
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: the staff as currently constructed as ready to support a

154
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: rookie quarterback percent?

155
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: I feel very good about the staff that we have.

156
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: We have guys you know, TC, TC and AVP and

157
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: even McAdoo, all guys that bring a certain skill set

158
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: to the quarterback position.

159
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: Now the balance is, look, he needs to hear that

160
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: one voice. And what happens sometimes with younger quarterbacks, they

161
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: have their quarterback guru, they have their coach, the quarterback coach.

162
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: Most offensive coordinators are quarterback coaches. So look, those guys

163
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: have worked together in the past and they're on the

164
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: same page to support any quarterback that we bring him.

165
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: What do you like about Drake May in the time

166
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: he's spent with him.

167
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, Drake May had a fantastic interview at the combine.

168
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: He brings a lot of energy.

169
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: You can tell he has that leadership ability and you know,

170
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: also the exciting part about a guy like Drake May

171
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: is the ceiling like there is really no ceiling with

172
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: a guy like that now and saying that when we're

173
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: trying to put together this roster. I know a lot

174
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: of people look at the ceiling, but you also got

175
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: to kind of see.

176
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: How low is the floor, how low is the floor?

177
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: And I would say a guy like Drake May he

178
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: has a lot of room to grow.

179
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: He's a young guy.

180
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: Honestly, he hasn't played football nearly as much as these

181
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: other guys. So that's definitely something that we that we've

182
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: looked at, but he definitely is going to develop.

183
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 10: But in keeping with that, when you're at three overall

184
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 10: and it's a draft like it is this year, you

185
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 10: could have an opportunity to instead of having a guy

186
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 10: with a high ceiling who might need work even is

187
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 10: really good, you could move down and hit to other

188
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 10: spots in the first round wide receiver, left tackle.

189
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: That's right that you know what.

190
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: I know, everyone likes to think they have the special

191
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: formula they're picking players, but honestly, the guaranteed way to

192
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: win is to accumulate more picks. And so if we

193
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: don't feel convicted at number three to your point, like

194
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: we are willing to.

195
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: Do that as well.

196
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 9: Since we asked you about Frank Manfolk, we also have

197
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 9: to ask you about Jadon Daniels.

198
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: Have you met with him? What was it like? What

199
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: do you think so far? Yeah? So Jade and Daniels.

200
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: You know, I was on the zoom with him. I

201
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: met him before.

202
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: Look, those guys have pro day is coming up here soon.

203
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: So when you think about the process, like when I

204
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: leave here, I'm going to LSU, and then when I

205
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: leave LSU, I'm going to Carolina before I get back home.

206
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: But you have to do your due diligence. And once again,

207
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: it's not all about me. It's not all about Eliott

208
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: what you guys have heard me say a lot. It's

209
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: about collaboration. And one thing that Alonzo Heismith, one of

210
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: our scouts, told me, and I truly believe it. He's

211
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: been doing it for a long time and he said

212
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: all the bad picks that he's seen, it's really been

213
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: where everyone wasn't on the same page.

214
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 2: And you would hope that, you know, you could get

215
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: everyone on the same page.

216
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: Coaches and also scouts if you have one person you

217
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: know draft and that's kind of tough.

218
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 7: Talk about quarterbacks and the number three pick. Do you

219
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 7: view that as being a three man racing quarterback or

220
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 7: is Gigi McCarthy probat of that conversation as well.

221
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, when I first started watching these guys,

222
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: it was that three man race. And now as you

223
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: continue to you know, go to these uh you know,

224
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: the sorry the pro days and bring guys in on

225
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: the thirty visits and having time to spend with those

226
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: guys to really get to know what makes them tick.

227
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's about five guys honestly that could come

228
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: in and be a sided quarterback in the future.

229
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 5: You're the head coach, you're gonna have to say when

230
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 5: you pick a quarterback, what are you looking for in

231
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 5: a quarterback when you go to these pro days, when

232
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 5: you meet with these guys.

233
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a great that's a great question.

234
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: Look, we have the quarterback guys that are gonna be

235
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: there to talk about mechanics and things like that, Like that's.

236
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: Not my expertise.

237
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: One thing you want from a quarterback My number one

238
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: thing It is a good decision maker. That's first and foremost.

239
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: And I would say one of the things that often

240
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: gets lost is just competitiveness and toughness. And so you

241
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: see some of the top quarterbacks in the league, like

242
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: those guys get.

243
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: Smacked and get right back up. You know, their offensive

244
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: linement help them up. I think that is very important

245
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: when you're kind of scout in this position, the competitor

246
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: like Tom, the toughness, like you see guys like Joe Burrow.

247
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: You know he gets smacked and gets right back up.

248
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: It's pretty impressive.

249
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: But it also sends that subliminal message to the rest

250
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: of the team like I'm here with you, like I'm

251
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: gonna get hit, I'm gonna get back up. And we

252
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: just got to continue to go. Shoot, continue to go

253
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: as we go forward. Sorry, that's called a joke going wrong.

254
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 6: We let you guys, said Jakobe Presett.

255
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jacobe. First of all, he's a known entity. He's

256
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: a guy that's been here before. Secondly, I would say

257
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: he's worked with a lot of guys on our staff currently.

258
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: And so anytime you can get a player, anytime you

259
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: can get a player is also a coach's beneficial and

260
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna help as far as the installs and things

261
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: like that.

262
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: So and look and look, he has the tools to

263
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: be a good quarterback. So look forward to working with him.

264
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 11: D You mentioned five quarterbacks. We touched on three. You know,

265
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 11: Caleb williams Assum is in that group.

266
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: The fifth guy.

267
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 9: Ye.

268
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: Look, there are guys I don't want to sit here

269
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: and give you names. I don't want to give you names,

270
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: but they're about I would say five or six guys

271
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: that are just very impressive. They all bring a certain

272
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: skill set to the table, all skill sets that you

273
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: want to see out of the quarterback.

274
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 10: What surprised you personally about doing this job since whatever

275
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 10: January fourth?

276
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: You have, honestly the lack of just the ex as

277
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: it knows, like the scheme stuff. You know right now,

278
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, you put your well, you put your coaching

279
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: staff together, you get your scouting staff together. You you

280
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: figure out how things work behind the scenes, and it's

281
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: been very interesting. But one of the things that really

282
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: surprised me is just the lack of, you know, talk

283
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: about scheme with the coaches. Look, once again, I have tremendous,

284
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: tremendous confidence in our coordinators and the staff, and those

285
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: guys have been doing that stuff and I've been working

286
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: more with Elliott and his staff to try to put

287
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: this team together.

288
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: So is it just a matter. You haven't had the

289
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 2: time to really get deep on it. Yeah, you just

290
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: haven't had Yeah, it's for a scheme.

291
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: So you know, when we're watching film now, it's really

292
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: with a Scout hat on. And so when you have

293
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: that Scout hat on, you're not really thinking, all right,

294
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: it's the fourteen five or any of that stuff. You know,

295
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: as far as Ex's and O's, it's more about just

296
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: the individual player.

297
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: Talk about you board your own guys.

298
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 3: It's Christian Barmore, someone you'd like to keep around long

299
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 3: term and have you guys approached them about nextensions?

300
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: This one but one thing with Barmore, he's one of

301
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: those players that he's developed here. You know, there were

302
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: some questions coming out of college. Obviously, you know his potential.

303
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: He's done a fantastic job really growing up. I think

304
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: DeMarcus and Joe Kim have done a good job really

305
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: helping develop them. And look, once again, it goes back

306
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: to we want to keep our own all right. We

307
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: want to keep our own players, and we have had

308
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: talks with Barmore and hopefully it works out.

309
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 6: If you had talks with Matthew Judon about either extending

310
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 6: or enticing his contract.

311
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: Look, there's no there's no question that we want a

312
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: guy like Judah, And look, going back to keeping our

313
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: own Look, Judah on was in Baltimore. He just happy

314
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: to be just a great guy and a great fit

315
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: a culture ad for us.

316
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: And we want to keep Judah. We want to keep on.

317
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: But that's more of a question, you know, for Elliott.

318
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: But those conversations have started. We know that he's still

319
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: a premier rusher in this league. But as we continue

320
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: to go forward, we want him to be a piece

321
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: of the puzzle.

322
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 5: So you guys hired as head coaches in the NFL

323
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 5: as and offensive guys, was there a point over this

324
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 5: process where you wondered whether that sort of trend was

325
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 5: ever going to swing back the other way?

326
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: And what do you feel like maybe caused it? Never,

327
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: I never really thought about that.

328
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: One thing I will say about defensive coaches, Well, let

329
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: me talk about the head coaching role in itself. A

330
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: position coach is a lot different than a defensive coordinator

331
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: coat our court, that role is different than a head coach.

332
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: And one thing I would say is I've been around

333
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: a lot of good leaders in my life, obviously Bill

334
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: being one of those guys, defensive guys, special teams guy.

335
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: You look at Mike, Tom, and you look at Raheem,

336
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: you look at all these guys that are really just

337
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: great leaders. And we can sit here and say, you know,

338
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: do they want to call them? Are they going to

339
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: call the place or are they not going to call

340
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: the place? I think the more important thing is how

341
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: do we get everyone in the organization really going the

342
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: right way. So I wanted to be here in New England.

343
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: This is the place I've always wanted to be. I

344
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: played here, my family's here, and I was just waiting

345
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: for my opportunity. I didn't know when that opportunity would come,

346
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: but it came, and I'm excited to have it.

347
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 11: You guys pursued obviously didn't work out.

348
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 8: How difficult do you think it'll be to weaponize the

349
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 8: offense to find that guy, because obviously it's it's not

350
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 8: easy to acquire.

351
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: That's right.

352
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: And one thing I would say is you go through

353
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: the draft, you want to get guys that are magnets.

354
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: You know, we were.

355
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: I played with the ultimate magnet and Tom Brady, where

356
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: guys wanted to play for Tom, with Tom and with

357
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: the team right and so it kind of gets skewed

358
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: and it's kind of now it's the other end of

359
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: the spectrum. It's like, really, what pieces do we have

360
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: to attract those outside guys? And look, once again, if

361
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: we draft the guy, you're coming here. And so that's

362
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: that has to be our philosophy as we continue to

363
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: put this thing together.

364
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 11: Did you find that was a struggle infraigency when you

365
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 11: look at the guys you targeted and didn't sign with,

366
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 11: there any commonalities about they didn't typically sign because of

367
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 11: X And was that Magnets is a.

368
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: Part of it.

369
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: No, I would say there were various reasons why guys

370
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: didn't sign with us. Once again, the unknown is scary

371
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, and I would say even

372
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: in our building right now, it's still unknown. Like will

373
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: I be a good head coach, I don't know. Hopefully

374
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: I think I can be. Will Elliott be a good

375
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: good GM or whatever it is in Israel, I don't know.

376
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: We'll we'll see what happens with that. But look, it's

377
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a process. And once again, you guys, even

378
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: sitting around this table, there will be times that you

379
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: have to ask me hard questions, Like right now we're

380
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: oh and no, we're.

381
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: Still on the honeymoon phase.

382
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: You guys are throwing up these softballs, But I understand

383
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: what I'm getting by self into.

384
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 2: As we continue to go down this trail.

385
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 6: Do you feel like you have to rebuild the organization

386
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 6: to the point that it will once again be a

387
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 6: destination for free agents.

388
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: The goal is always to have players want to come

389
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: to your organization, and that is absolutely a process. We're

390
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: thinking about those things.

391
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 7: Uh.

392
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: And and once again, the crafts are giving us the

393
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: ability to really uh I don't want to say modernized,

394
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: but to really do the things that we want to

395
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: do going forward, to bring people in, which I think.

396
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: Is important many players yet Trump.

397
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: So at the combine, we had you know, at the combine,

398
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: are you talking draft or.

399
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: Current players on the roster veterans? Well, some of them

400
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: walk through. They walk through the building.

401
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: And honestly, as a as the head coach, I'm always

402
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: hesitant to even have any type of conversations like are

403
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: we in Tampa zone or not?

404
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: I just need those rules right here.

405
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not doing anything but in passing you

406
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: know just said him.

407
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 3: You know who knows what type of head coach which

408
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: you'll be or and what Elliott will be? What have

409
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: you seen from Elliott who's really entrusted with a pretty

410
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 3: amend's responsibility here as with the final personnel, saying that

411
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 3: it gives you confidence that he's the right person to

412
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 3: do this.

413
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: I would say overall his steadiness.

414
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: Elliott has a great attitude and a great mentality when

415
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: it comes to not only picking players but also the staff.

416
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: He was very influential and even putting putting together the

417
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: coaching staff as well. And I've been watching him from

418
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: Afar for a couple of years now and it's really

419
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: it's really jailed nicely and saying that, I would also

420
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: say his dad's a Hall of Fame Scouts though it's

421
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: not it's not all like just here in New England.

422
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: I think he brings a fresh perspective. Uh you know,

423
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: as you continue to.

424
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: Bill's that he's coming in quite a few not quite

425
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: a few time, heard me once or twice.

426
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: Uh So last year he came. This was two years ago,

427
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 2: and I think last year he came as we haven't

428
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: been around though well right now right now, honestly, look,

429
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: we want to have a not open door policy, but

430
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: at the same time, we're trying to We're in a

431
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 2: room all day just really going through players.

432
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that's something you will want to do

433
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: right now, but going forward, going forward, that is someone

434
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: that you would hope to bring in to help develop people.

435
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: And so I think, you know, just continue to have

436
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: that growth mindset going forward is huge.

437
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 5: H Guys obviously showed that you're willing to invest in

438
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 5: wide receiver. Could you still be active on the trade

439
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 5: market or is the draft more likely for.

440
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: We're still open on the trade market, but I would

441
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: also say this is a pretty deep class as far

442
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: as receivers are concerned. So it's all on the table

443
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: right now, and hopefully as we continue to get closer

444
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: to the draft. You know, Elliott's fielding calls, the scouts

445
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 1: are fielding calls. But as we get closer to the draft,

446
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: it starts to be a clearer picture. That's where the goal.

447
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: Do you think it's.

448
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 4: Wise to take a quarterback in the top three if

449
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 4: you don't have necessarily the sports system.

450
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 2: I did a little thing, and I look back because.

451
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 4: Only two quarterbacks won a Super Bowl who have been

452
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 4: taken on the top three since nineteen ninety eight, and

453
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 4: both have the last name Manning.

454
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: It's hard with the top three quarterback.

455
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 4: You look at Mahomes, Jalen Hurt's, Lamar Jackson, even Justin

456
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: Herbert had a really good network of offensive.

457
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: Players around him. That's right.

458
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 10: So do you see the merit and perhaps maybe building

459
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 10: around the position.

460
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

461
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: Look, once again, if we take a quarterback at three,

462
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: that means we are convicted that this player is really

463
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 1: the future of this organization. And going back to your

464
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: point that we kind of said earlier, there are multiple

465
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: pieces on this team as a whole that we want

466
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: to you know, we want.

467
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: To fill those holes.

468
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: And so if you can gather more picks that that

469
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: definitely helps you out. I can put more chips on

470
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: the table. Probably shouldn't have did a game by the

471
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: reference right there. But the more picks that you really have,

472
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, the more likelihood you have to really hit

473
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: on them.

474
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 9: I guess to go off that if you do trade back,

475
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 9: would you look at it like, hey, let's just stock

476
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 9: plus many first we can get our guy next year

477
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 9: and almost ignore quarterback in the draft this year, trust

478
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 9: your Koobe, and then target a quarterback next year.

479
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, those conversations are still on going, and

480
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done, it be between ownership,

481
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: Elliott and myself and we'll see where we get.

482
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 8: You guys have to be pot Institutis you pass pass

483
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 8: on a guy at three he turns in to be

484
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 8: a future, you know, franchise quarterback, that's gonna be a question.

485
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 8: We'll ask you why did you pass on you know

486
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 8: so and stead.

487
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: And honestly, look, hindsight's always gonna be twenty twenty. I

488
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: wish I had that crystal ball. You never really know

489
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna find gyms throughout the draft, okay, And once again,

490
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, as we continue to go through the process

491
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: and look at these players, really it's about trying to

492
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 1: find those gyms later in the draft. Now, sitting at

493
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: number three is very unique because whatever happens at one

494
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: and two, Like if you're convicted on you know, let's

495
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: say three or four quarterbacks, then I feel like we're

496
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: in a good position.

497
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 2: Drod.

498
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 11: You're one month away from the draft exactly today, and

499
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 11: I know you still got to go to the pro days.

500
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 11: You mentioned thirty visits possibly with some of these guys,

501
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 11: but most of the Hayes in the Barn as far

502
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 11: as the tape study and the combat work. What do

503
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 11: you need to know specifically or learn over the next

504
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 11: month about these guys to complete the scouting process.

505
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you're exactly right. There is no new film.

506
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: And sometimes when you know, when people do all their

507
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: you know, reviews of players, I'm saying in the media,

508
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: there's really no new information. But we continue to move

509
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: guys all over the mop drafts and things like that. Now,

510
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: from a coach's perspective, there is new information. We have

511
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: spent hours and hours with these guys by the time

512
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: we get to the draft, and so I don't want

513
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: to say that the Hayes and the barn I think

514
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: we still have a lot of work to do on

515
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks in the draft.

516
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 2: H and really eliating the same will lead that difference

517
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: with some of that work specifically. Yeah, that work is

518
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: just how does this guy learn? All right? How does

519
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 2: this guy? Uh, how does he deal with adversity?

520
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: And once again, you can go back to the film

521
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: and just you know, you can kind of gauge retention,

522
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: like what does he remember about this game here? And

523
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: as they continue to talk and it continues to uh,

524
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: you know, come together. That's always Uh, the information that

525
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: is added to what we're talking.

526
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 5: About positional things as of today, Who would compete at

527
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 5: left tackle for you?

528
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, once again, you look at our you

529
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: look at our roster. We brought in some you know,

530
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: obviously chokes, We brought chokes in. Look, we'll see what

531
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: we put the pads on. It's gonna it's gonna be tough.

532
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: We have options. You would hope that those young guys

533
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: that we have on the team also kind of take

534
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: that year one, a year two jump and look, Scottie

535
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: Peters and his staff they're I mean, they're charged with

536
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: developing players. And look, our roster will change before we

537
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: even get to the draft. So that's kind of a

538
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: hard question to really answer.

539
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 2: But when that right, well he's begin at right tackle.

540
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: Uh, well that's where we'll start. But look, once again,

541
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, big Mike can play multiple positions. He can

542
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: play guard, he can play right tackle, he can play

543
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: left tackle. But that's one of those things that we

544
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: got to have those conversations going forward with the coach staff.

545
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 5: Martin Mapu, what position should we expect to see him.

546
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: Marte Marte Mapu is always he's one of those guys

547
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: that we talk about versatility.

548
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: He's one of those guys that.

549
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: He can play big star, he can play safety and

550
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: he also can play line backer. Now he'll start in

551
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: the safety room and we'll work our way down from them.

552
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: If position.

553
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 11: Do you have a sense of what Washington will do

554
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 11: it to or how concerned will you try to figure

555
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 11: that out throughout this process?

556
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: Honestly that we have no clue and I don't think

557
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 1: anyone in here really knows exactly what Washington is gonna do.

558
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: I think everyone knows what Chicago's gonna do at one,

559
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: but the rest of it, honestly is uh is just

560
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: up in the air. And when you see these other

561
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: teams making moves, you know, acquiring pieces to move, we

562
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: could sit here and say Washington today, that could be

563
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: somebody else on draft day.

564
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: So I don't want to speculate.

565
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 6: On that side.

566
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 3: The last time we touched it, I think you mentioned

567
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 3: Troy Brown was still with the staff.

568
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: Can you clarify what his role will be there? Troy

569
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 2: is still on the staff.

570
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: He will he has a skills development role with our.

571
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: Staff going forward. He'll work with the players.

572
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: He'll work with the skilled players and also work with

573
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: the scheme in the offense of the offensive side of

574
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: the ball.

575
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 11: So he's still with us, aligned with a top pick

576
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 11: as far as things stand today, understanding like you're saying,

577
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 11: a lot of work to do in these quarterbacks, how

578
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 11: aligned would you say you are with Elliott as far

579
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 11: as how you view the top quarterbacks?

580
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say just as a whole. It's not

581
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: just Elliott and myself. Once again, going back to collaboration. Look,

582
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: we have great scouts across the board that everyone has

583
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: their different opinions, and so you want to start with

584
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: hearing those opinions, but at some time you have to

585
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: kind of strength the group and come to some common ground.

586
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: So we're close.

587
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 4: What's ownerships role in picking the quarterback? You mentioned that

588
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 4: they would have input Elliott, yourself coaching stuff.

589
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, honestly, once again, just how you know,

590
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: Just how you know I hired Elliot or we hired Elliott.

591
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: It's the same thing.

592
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: They don't want to be involved in football decisions, but

593
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: they have given us the tools to go out there

594
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: and get the guys that we want. They've given us

595
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: the back end or the confidence to go out there

596
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: and be aggressive.

597
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: If we are convicted on a player. But at the

598
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: end of the day, like they don't want to be

599
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: involved with football.

600
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 4: Decisions, they have a role in saying here, you know,

601
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 4: maybe playing devil's advocate.

602
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: I mean, they have to have some copy if you

603
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 2: pass on this guy that X Y Z. Honestly, I'm

604
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 2: not sure. It's my first draft as the head coach. Seriously,

605
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 2: I'm really not sure.

606
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: But one thing I will say is that the Craft

607
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: family and ownership, they have given us the ability to

608
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: go out there and and you know, offer big contracts

609
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: to go out there and take a quarterback at three,

610
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 1: to go out there and move down right, So all

611
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: of those things are up in the air. And once again,

612
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: look it's their team, but they they have entrusted myself

613
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: and Elliott to really kind of put this thing back together.

614
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 5: Was reported that you're going to start the offseason program

615
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 5: on April eighth, Zach correct parts you could start April first.

616
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 5: Why leave a week on the table starting a new program?

617
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there there will there's still look, there's still

618
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: gonna be time, uh to put this team together. I

619
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: think as the as the staff continues to jail, not

620
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: only on the coaching side, but also on the on

621
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: the scouting side as.

622
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: That team continues to jail.

623
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that we as coaches

624
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: are all in the same page before we go to

625
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: the players. We've been a part of situations where you know,

626
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: you bring these different coaches in. You know, this guy

627
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: has one philosophy, this guy has another philosophy. I just

628
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that you know, the coaches, the staff,

629
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: we're all in.

630
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 2: The same page going forward.

631
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: And look, once again, you don't win games in the spring,

632
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: but you can't lose them, and I don't want to

633
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: fall into that track. I want to make sure that

634
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: we're all pulling in the same direction.

635
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 7: Right now.

636
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: Do you know how many you want to designate for rookies? Like,

637
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: how many udfas you want to bring in? How many

638
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 2: more you don't better?

639
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: Honestly, that's that's an eliot question. I don't even want

640
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: to go down that road. I'll leave it for the expert.

641
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 2: Le situation going on in the Phantom.

642
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we're continued to gather information on that

643
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: he's still on the team. He's still on the team,

644
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: and hopefully, you know, we could continue to develop this, uh,

645
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: this player, but really develop him as a man as well.

646
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 2: Going forward, I think it's important to.

647
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: Remember, like some of these guys are very young, and

648
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: they've made mistakes in the past. It's easy to just

649
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: throw them away, but there are certain instances where you're like,

650
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: all right, I can help this guy out, and I

651
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: feel like we have a good player development group there

652
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: that will definitely help.

653
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 7: Us going forward. Like I mentioned the thirty visits with

654
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 7: the quarterbacks, do you guys have those planned?

655
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: With Drake, Jaden and JJ. I'm pretty sure all three

656
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 2: of them will be in.

657
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 9: So since you've got the job, is there anyone who's

658
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 9: called You're like, Wow, I can't believe that guy called me,

659
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 9: you know, or something like that.

660
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 2: You know the crazy thing.

661
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: Someone told me that Andy Reid one of my phone number,

662
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, that's pretty cool. And then

663
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: his wife caught me on the elevator. She's like, it's

664
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: so hard to get in contact with and I'm like, man,

665
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: she has her rings on and stuff, and I'm just

666
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: I got to get back to that that point. So,

667
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, I honestly I respect the position of head coach.

668
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: I respect the position of coaches NFL college, high school.

669
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: There are some good high school coaches that if they

670
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: called I will be like.

671
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 2: Wow, that's pretty cool.

672
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: And look, first and foremost, I'm a fan of football.

673
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of I'm a fan of coaches. I

674
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: just love being around the.

675
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: Game a little bit outside the hash marks. But I

676
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 3: go back to early nineties, Bill Parcells came in as

677
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 3: coach and Patriots actually changed their logo as part of

678
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 3: a new identity, new image. You're coming in after twenty

679
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: four years of Belichick.

680
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 2: Is there anything you want to do.

681
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 3: I'm in new uniform obviously not a new logo, but

682
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 3: like captain's patches, the number zero, like anything that you've

683
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 3: thought of that reflects like a new beginning.

684
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 2: Look, I do just to say one thing, I do

685
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 2: believe in having captains patches. That's one thing. Another thing

686
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: is just like we did the.

687
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: Happy Hour with the media, with our local media members,

688
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: I think it's important that you guys get an opportunity

689
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: to see what we've changed inside the building, going back

690
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,959
Speaker 1: to the investment that the Craft family have given us

691
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: to change things in the building. And look, I'll coordinate

692
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: with Stacey, but I do think it would be beneficial

693
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: to have let's say that happy be able to walk

694
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: through the building and see the changes that we've made.

695
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 3: And like weight room stuff, I'm thinking about that NFL

696
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 3: l PA players like the weight room sounded like it

697
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 3: needed upgrade. Where where Maybe that's not a question for you,

698
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 3: but what do you see from that?

699
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: Look look the report card? You know, I think it's

700
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: very important. I think it just reminds UH staffs and

701
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: owners of things that we need to improve on going forward.

702
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: You know, the craft family. Once again, when you see

703
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: upgrade that you that's not favorable, it does bring attention

704
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: to it, UH in saying that we put together a

705
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: group that's really going to try to attack some of

706
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: the problems or some of the things that we see.

707
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: UH that we've seen on the report card. But it's

708
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: once again, it's gonna it's gonna take time. It's gonna

709
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: take time to improve.

710
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: Those since any specific, anything specific on that that that

711
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: stands out to you, is it too early, Like whether

712
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: it's like the take care stuff that was one thing

713
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: that I saw.

714
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: Definitely things that are on the table, And I think,

715
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, the better we take care of families, the

716
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: more likely it is for our players to go out

717
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: there and play free. Same thing with the coaches, So

718
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: it's definitely important. But I also think when you look

719
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: at the report card, you know, when those guys did

720
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 1: the report card, it was pretty early in this season,

721
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: and so I mean it's easy to overreact to some

722
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: of those type of grades depending on really how the

723
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: season's going. Like to me, the better way would be

724
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: early in the season, middle of the season, end of

725
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: the season that really put those scores together. So but

726
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: in saying that, look, it does bring attention to things

727
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: that we're trying to improve.

728
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 11: Rod you mentioned knocking out silos in your press conference.

729
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 11: It's been almost dow and a half months now, can

730
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 11: you give us an example of doing that?

731
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, really that's that's for us internally.

732
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: But I would like to believe when you guys do

733
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to the scouts or talk

734
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: to the coaches, they will really articulate the goal that

735
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: I had going forward.

736
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 5: What would you say to Patriots fans who look at

737
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 5: last year four wins not bringing in a whole lot

738
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 5: of game changers in the offseason, you know, despite having

739
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 5: the cap space. You know a lot of them are frustrated,

740
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 5: some of them are angry. What would you say to

741
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 5: those Patriots fans for a.

742
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: Patriot fans, look, I understand the you know, the frustration,

743
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: I understand the expectation that has been really built over

744
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: the last twenty years. But at the same time, hopefully

745
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: the fans understand that we're trying to build this the

746
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: right way and we're trying to.

747
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: You know, bring in pieces that we think are for

748
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: the long term.

749
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a combination between bringing people in for

750
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: the short term, but also you have to think long term.

751
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: That's always the hard thing to do. I would just

752
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: ask Patriot fans for patients. Though. Once again, there will be.

753
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: Players that hit the wire, you know, free agents, guys

754
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: that are explosive of whatever you want to say. There

755
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: will be guys in the draft, there will be guys

756
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: after the draft. So just sit back and kind of,

757
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, let us do our job, go forward,
