 Now that you've done it once, what's the challenge of taking a team into Foxborough and trying to deal with all the tradition and history that's there and keeping your team focused? Well, obviously the tradition and history is not going to win or lose the game for anybody. I think we all know where the banners are, the success that that organization has had over the last 20 years. But I think that what will win or lose the game is playing sound, fundamental football, taking care of the football, penalties, playing with great technique. That's really what they've done. It's been impressive the last five weeks. Mike, what do you think has made Mac Jones such an effective quarterback so early in his career? Well, I mean, I think that he's well coached. I think he's talented. I think he's really got a great grasp of their offense. They've been able to run the football, playing on short fields lately, not taking a ton of chances. I mean, I think when it's there down the field, he's been accurate, but they've just been playing very complimentary. The play action game set up very well. Protection has been what you would expect it to be. And I think that's really what the product is from what I've seen. Can it be harder to get into and stay in a rhythm with running backs in the running game when there's three guys dividing the carries evenly as opposed to one guy having the line share? I've never played running back. I don't know. All we can do is be ready to go when our numbers called. That's the situation that we're in. And I'm sure we could look around the league and see the teams and the different scenarios that run the football with other guys. You know, Tampa Bay ran it for 120. I'm sure that they ran Fournet. I'm sure that they ran Ronald Jones. So hopefully we can block when we call the runs. And that whoever the running back is in the game can execute it and make good cuts and break a few tackles and take care of the ball. Patriots defense had a bunch of opt-outs last year, but they're obviously playing really well at this point. What kind of makes that difficult to game play for them? What do they do so well? The opt-outs? No, the players that are playing for them now. Oh, I mean, they're good players. So they're very good upfront with the technique, the technique in which they play the linebackers are physical, the guys on the edge. You know, whether that's Judan, Van Noy, you know, Collins when he was in there, you know, they ask him to rush. They ask him to cover and then set the edge. So secondary is physical, reroute players. And they're taking advantage of overthrows or taking advantage of mistakes by the opposing offenses. How do you make the timing work this week with the guys in on game planning today? How do you make the game planning timing work? Today will be first and second down. Tomorrow will be first, second, and third. Friday will be third down and move the field. What did you guys do all of that for you? If you had a long night last night? I mean, I think we kind of knew what the schedule was going to be. Thanksgiving has been on a calendar for a while. So I did my best to let everybody know what the schedule was going to be. And that's kind of how we went with it. I've seen, I mean, Nick Westbrook, Keynes' success grow. I mean, confidence grow. And how's the confidence in him kind of growing along the way? Sure. We've always had confidence in Nick. I think he's, you know, developed. I think he, you know, when you catch a lot of footballs, which he does, and going in towards the middle of the field, that has a, there's a lot of trust there that the quarterback is going to put the ball where it needs to be, that he's going to catch it. And there's usually going to be contact, you know, after that. So that's something that Nick has done a nice job with. He blocks for us. He plays on special teams, he knows multiple positions. So those types of players are very valuable to a team. And, you know, I think, again, he probably built some of that confidence gym on special teams. And I can remember, you know, in training camp, doing a competitive period where, you know, you kind of, the whole team's around there and it's the gunner versus, you know, two guys holding right. You remember that? And two guys holding them up. And Nick, you know, some of you guys are shaking your head that you remember Nick, you know, winning that rep in front of everybody. And I think that that kind of started it. But we've mentioned this before where guys, you know, start to build some confidence in this league as a young player on special teams. What can Des do maybe in a week if he knows he's got more of a role as opposed to stepping in as a, in relief? What can Des do? Des can just be ready to go, be ready to be prepared, you know, for multiple coverages, be prepared in practice for contact down the field, be ready to block when he's supposed to block. Same thing we'd ask everybody to be ready to do. Earlier in the season after a game where the offense had a few turnovers, however, you dedicated a period of practice to sort of working through those things and emphasizing that. Do you do anything similar this way? Well, we've always, you know, there will always be, you know, whether we take care of it or not, we're always doing it, you know, every day. It was the additional time. And, you know, I'm sure that, you know, tomorrow we'll have, you know, some more time allotted to those things. And, but that's not something that we just do as a reaction. Luke, we're doing it every day. It was just that that particular week, we probably added, you know, eight to 10 more minutes of it. Which is Hollister's experience factor into bringing him back and, you know, does he take much, does he need much tune and up if he was to be called upon or how do things work? Well, we've had Cody, you know, with us for a while. We've always liked his versatility, you know, his toughness, his ability to play on special teams, his ability to learn multiple positions, you know, very similar to Nick in their play strength and their size. And he's always been, you know, watching him compete on the practice squad and in the show team. Excuse me. It just was that he wasn't ready to go up until this point. Dr. Hillier, show you in the last game to kind of inspire more confidence from you guys and him. Yeah, you know, speed and he didn't hit the runs. He hit with a burst and, you know, was able to function in there in a very, you know, uncomfortable setting of, you know, all of a sudden he's learning the third down. He's learning the two minute. And then now, you know, the second half turns into somewhat of a two minute game. And he handled that and he jumped in there and returned kicks for us too. So, you know, we'll keep working with Don Trell. Some of the guys, they go to like outside wellness shops or recovery shops. How do you approach that? Like, is that something that you welcome for them to, you know, take that extra effort to, especially in the midst of all the injuries you guys are dealing with? Yeah. I'll say this. I'm open to doing whatever is going to make our players feel better. I really am. I believe I have the utmost confidence in what we're doing here and our staff. I tell that to the players. We ask that, you know, they kind of let us know who they go to because if they're that good, then we should hire them. You know, they should be here helping the rest of them. So, we are aware of all those, most of them, I would say, to communication with Todd, myself, Frank, John. But it's real. You know, I mean, it's just like everybody's got a trainer now. Everybody's got somebody that, yeah, they've all got them. And so, you know, it's just kind of part of what the life of the NFL is with the different seasons and the people that they feel comfortable with in the off season. We share with them their right to a second medical opinion. I mean, I've been through all this as a player. So, you know, it's not like it's new for me, but we just ask that there's a line of communication so that if we're doing a treatment, that maybe there's not some sort of treatment that would be in any way negative or counterproductive to what we were doing. So, that's kind of how we handle that. That focus on recovery, is that something that has really evolved since your days of being in that same position where you need to, you know, do things to be able to get on the field consistently? I mean, I think just technology and science has changed, you know, so much. You know, there wasn't PRP, you know, injections and things that helped heal muscle or any of the other things. So, that's certainly something that's new. There's a lot of things that have changed since I played. You appreciate, you know, guys like Ben and Roger who are, you know, probably less than, you know, obviously less than a hundred percent. There's a lot of those guys, John. So, I would hate to stop the list at Roger and Ben, but, you know, I think that those guys being north of 30 and the position that they play, you know, those are two good guys to start with, but very conscious of the rest of the guys as well, you know, that are doing it, that are far less than a hundred percent. The old curmudgeons earn a little bit more credit because of their age, like you said. Do the old guys get a little... What's curmudgeon? That's what me and Kowarski are often called, curmudgeons. Don't reference Kowarski. That's what, is that like old? A grumpy old man. Well, then, yeah, you can say. We're just trying to do whatever we can do to get these guys ready to go each and every Sunday, look at the, how they feel, talk to them, see what the practice schedule should look like and treatment and recovery, you know, lifting, you know, those guys all and everybody does a great job of trying to get right every week. Your no excuses, next man up kind of approach come from your days in New England, what you kind of learned playing under... There's a lot of things that we do, that I do on a personal basis, on a coaching basis, you know, how I try to help, you know, Tyler or Carter, you know, learned a lot, you know, in eight years there, whether that be from Bill, assistant coaches, Mr. Kraft, the players, you know, learned a lot from the players that we, you know, teammates. So, you know, again, you have good experiences throughout life, you try to take some of those things with you as you move on. I mentioned the confidence that Nick gained with playing a special team, you've talked about Monty Rice with that too. For someone like Dylan Radins, who isn't going to be, you know, running down, covering kicks, I'm curious, is there any kind of equivalent chance to get that confidence or, I guess, impress? Yeah, or an improve, you know, and that's, you know, I think Luke, you know, that's a great question and that's something that I've been trying to figure out as some of these younger guys up front, you know, on both sides of the ball is how you can get them to improve, you know, details only go so far with somebody up front. You got to put pads on and you have to go out and practice and compete and do those things. And so, you know, we've been trying to add, you know, some periods, you know, maybe on a Thursday, based on how guys feel, based on who's available, to get some of that speed work in with pads, just to sprinkle it in there, to give some of those guys opportunities to improve during practice, especially, you know, as we move here towards the back part of the season. Or is that for a guy like Radins who? You said this would be quick, Robbie. I thought it would be, I thought we'd never log around after. We haven't seen you in a long time, you know, a guy like Radins who obviously, you know, was a standout player in college and so forth, a hydrophic, you know, how much, how difficult maybe is that kind of mentally, you know, not to be playing too much in his rookie year, but to stay up and to stay. Well, I'm not going to come on and how difficult it is. I think that would be something that Dylan, you know, could best address. All I know is that there's a willingness to learn. I see him in here a lot. I see him in here often. I see him here working out. I see him in here studying. When he has had the opportunities, I see a, see a level of effort and finish and competitiveness just needs to continue to improve and, you know, and get better. Mike, what's the challenge 11 games in of trying to make those corrections on mistakes from this last game, balancing the fact that you've got some banged up guys on this team? Is it kind of at this point, a lot of mental work on the players to, to make those kind of corrections? Yeah. We'll have to have great focus, you know, as we prepare here the next couple of days and see how we feel on, on, you know, today. Let's focus on today and see what today looks like. Start to get the keys and start to understand who this opponent is and, and what they've done so well.
