[24:06] ..." good decision maker's mark and and you know command game very well Ronnie Brown Ricky Williams. -- want to try to run the ball and and mix in some play action passes and you know go"...

[25:19] ..." it's -- actually you know and -- some of them. You know Channing Crowder playing very well form he's been very you know -- for -- guys are from Tennessee. And so. They've they've added you"...

[0:00]" Why does every Monday -- Patriots -- regulations such as well thank you plan B I don't I don't know how to get villages that -- give a bullet when a miracle. Awaited chance that it Olympic team go way 1300. How do I've heard it described -- Today about how the Patriots just went out there. -- we'll just manage the game that they -- everything and then. He -- conservative to me when we're talking about it. The course of the show public that you really change from what your normal game plan would have been against the Jets had Brady -- in that it."

[0:38]" think too much fun -- With -- I think those are Olympic factor in the game was that the Jets played. They put Ortiz -- and they pretty much roll over top grand old game and you know the one time they didn't Mehmet real good read on the play and and -- that a third Tillman and we almost had -- you know we we relish that touchdown and let let. At this signal from Randy put some -- you know recovered to -- you know well yeah and and and -- kind of squatted on and then and so instead of -- Ralf. Right and -- he does get -- And that read it he just couldn't quite get his feet at quicken up the hit the ball far enough out there and you know rent is applicable -- anyway. But other than that they've they've pretty much stayed over the top of Malan and and so the place to throw underneath it and and on the balls a good option and you know had they come and play more -- it was fortunate on the field -- those. You know another one -- there instantly took all the coverage and headed over to Welker and Moss. And you know that was. You know Vienna and in other two inches on the football you know he ticked at than. For -- back soon. Where we have right rather open. Over everything up through that experience lots -- over the program. That's now. -- but I'm -- terms of the game plan you know when he opportunities where they're going to outfield we try to go on field and they work you know that. We did to John meant that it the they went in with a -- and -- him that I don't think you'll be lobbed the ball manager wrote -- or hit the ball."

[2:11]" What was Ernie. One point of emphasis weapons of salute to have met before. -- whole week -- are one thing that you stressed more than anything else or or two overall loss."

[2:24]" Follow will not -- sizzled a situation -- of course every game you're going to you wanna not turn a ball over and avoid negative play in Saxon. And -- negative plays please total depth look -- don't have a chance he would and penalties you know obviously want to avoid those plays but. You know on the bullet to make quick decision to get the ball out now have a couple times and some third and short situations where you know cut the ball Sammy in the Latin. Dave Thomas there and fourth quarter and you know stuff like that so making quick decisions when the pressure and and and sandwich from turnovers and and you know no no problems with formations and alignments things like that substitutions that we analyzed different. Backfield combinations. -- we -- to back in the game but it was a lot different combinations of Faxon. The formation all the Iowa little bit more than what they usually are but you know Matt panel that and that Cinderella to -- safeties that there was. There anticipate Matt Thornton who you know in the preview I think they went against and where where that we're not a -- Moss kept getting people's honest you know -- to -- didn't. Pick -- on -- in the first quarter. Or what happened in the last year in this in the opening game you know weren't -- been long balls malls were going to. You know make can be just run the ball make can be thrown underneath but there's a much improved team from my attitude Jets him -- line and linebackers defensive line. -- but your -- of trapped inside with the with American couple times look like they're penetrating to have the break committing get a draft makes them these. Yeah in on the fourth or thought running game was a good we have some said very good angle blocks in there and -- them all around. -- all linebackers couple months it ran against a deep sense of confidence there there's 34 feet. You know Jenkins has in the he's certainly a factor in the running game and they are. You know block and there but you know at times we -- men and make -- here to have the backs ran well -- ran hard and and then and -- and deposited here."

[4:23]" We're special teams yesterday huge factor in that you guys always seem to have great field position many times in Jets territory. And yet they were pinned back on the twenty on a consistent basis had to be happy that special teams."

[4:35]" Yeah you know I was great climate that very big things that I think you always want to try to having your favorite every game mark. Field position penalties and turnovers and you can get the edge in those areas. And there are a lot of hidden yardage there and it -- doesn't always result directly in points with a lot of hidden. In the yardage and points here and and we had that we have the field position advantage when it two penalties. -- that was at the end of the game that there really wasn't a factor in and they have one turnover within habit so. You know all those areas we kind of came out on top on and and Kevin gives big boost in the return game. On ponds and in a steadier it is great -- on the catcalls and wanted to do return. And I'm I'm on the poignant and are planning. You know as they go public umpire. By Chris at 59 yarder on I'd want an overturn place though you know was big field position swing there so we've we had opportunities there of course these. Kick on the field goals make mostly ovals that was so important is so special teams that night if there -- I thought his first victory -- the -- just looking at and TV IP couldn't get the wind on them now suddenly reversed field -- he's doing the same thing is this kid got stronger weight this year. I mean just seems to be kicking the ball better than he did a year ago. I think it's a little bit better you know he general ago offseason is on -- off season Award winners and and I think that's indicative of is his work ethic and his performance in the offseason. You know it translates -- bit more distance. It was a warm day the ball traveled and flew well and so Monday -- while to sit on both directions so. I think the wind was a little bit -- gone from. In the first quarter we haven't you know kicked in from Arnold after the down to the other hand it to slightly against the heavily he said both -- people who who. And on the Hoosier would be exposed to play it can ignited in a 1 victory over terms because audience and even -- to get on the twenty. Demoralized will be they come off let the don't have that and you. If if you're just one of the temperature for thirty yards. Recognize changeable game -- you know what yeah especially the Jets kickoff return we'll we'll in the mountain Washington and Justin Miller before him and and you know they've they've had great returns down here in and it could kick -- return that ultimately fruitless. You know 56 years old that was big neutralize -- factored in Everett and go going to -- a -- How important is would be fundamentally sound -- around the pocket -- back with -- over shall because. If you cut chasing him electric guy down you can be pretty proud. It's it's very important and there was several times are we did a good job of that and we stated a moment and we made some good plays and some negative plays and and there are a couple of times -- we. Kinda lost leverage on the ball and you know -- the Coles came -- or for fifth here whatever wasn't. Stuckey we've we've led mountain. You know get along when -- on there twice the homes of we didn't do as consistently as we need to do -- certainly learned most eight plays and you know he missed it price on some of those we you know we two and and trying to. You know for Verizon. To sling it around a little bit they're in good position and they -- as -- their style -- all written books have not idea I think Brett you know Brett -- he's going to if he's going to make great plays doing that -- and he's also going to. You know have a couple of he probably wishes he had back but it. You know any enemies often quarterback -- more good ones than bad ones but I think your points it is it is. Is right on money you know you just gotta stay at home we gotta do your job he can't. He's better that than we are and we try to get in the plan that kind of -- game with and he's better at and we are. We play more disciplined -- then you know we can minimize the down side and that's one it is it there. You know given -- like killer plays against them from actually -- effort because obviously your provides and always -- how much of -- changed. Their office for him. Oh quite that -- they changed. I think he's at a at a huge influence on what they're doing offensively. As as you know last two years we've played -- they've -- no huddle right you know come new line and and and don't substitute except when they want to substitute account controlled at the fence in the tempo of the game and all that. You know that's done they've changed their cadence they've. You know that change of philosophy of the passing -- a little bit more bootlegs more roll out more. You know deeper throws you know like the go pattern that he threw. The got interference call along with self on Cotchery when it at that position I'll think panic that would make that throw that yeah I'm -- that you don't you know was. -- well advised play couldn't they play had -- It could've been -- at play too because it was O'Neal had a pretty good position on that but that's the kind of play that Brett. That's kind of plays Brett makes and that's different than kind of play and what sort of capital that's it. But whom we have a lot of vote LaMont Jordan -- leader in the game was a part of the game plan or. To bring a fresh running back. We're quite well yeah he he did you know we we went into the games and it you know all -- our backs we want to play all on the we have a lot of different combinations and there aren't. You know Lawrence well for a little bit and and LaMont god and there and and ran well and moved the island. At the holes Harden and picked up in a 34 yards after the first contacts so. I think we have good production out all those guys could have kept and I could have mom involved. You know -- made -- dollars and and he well you know -- if some so. You know I think that's a position of death or -- in quality in. Hopefully we get that kind of production you know or get production from all those those players include Kevin -- games of the stuff that wasn't so much -- say okay -- complete LaMont until this point in time it is. You know are worked out that way but we we did want to play and we certainly want -- in the have few carries and and you know felt like that would. They wear down the Jets the pants metallic emblem for the change -- of the first facts and it would. You know different runs house that -- tackle -- handled differently than you tackle Sammy Sammy feel differently on. So you know I think that. That that kind of works in your favor of long and screw you. But we can not forget them cope. And go and replace your -- and -- from Australia a buddy -- and they're pretty well against Jenkins and a Americans as a he's tough and he's going to give anybody problems you know he's. He's a load in there and he's got a explosive quickness or he wants shoot the gap and hit it in. -- and you run that way you could you know you run into people so. You know -- can move him just got to try to you know -- play -- for the most part you know Dan that that some help from billion. And Logan. You know Jenkins is that they have great to record that's on."

[11:26]" I thought the end of the second quarter beginning of the third quarter where Cassel got stuck by -- by Thomason and -- you for a quarter of you know by Thomas in the Harris but. And -- a little bit at the end did you play in the second quarter but really remain poised and it didn't get him just. Par for the pick up definitely just know stay focused and and and that the bottom I think that we're a part of a lot of people that are. But in his position hadn't started since high school but he remained poised throughout that whole time -- won a lot of people overlook that that couples are."

[11:54]" Well we were only real and their for those cultures be your right you know we we ended the half there with good field position with the all back after. You know couple negative plays screen pass and and and it stopped there and and we couldn't ending with a you know with the wrong when Enron dropped the pass got -- in the given on the ball back. For a daily -- and we come back get the balls or third quarter and you know have another bad series with a couple -- and you know those negative plays and all that so. But you're right we're able to play through that really -- thought of all the drives and certainly the first was keep. After they scored -- touchdown make sixteen and come back and take the ball and you know -- 171 yard drive and and kick field goals and keep it for over five minutes. That was you know that was really big ovals if that series and then. You know -- sack came after that that's. You know get the ball back and -- hang onto the rest of the ways in like in the games you know from pocket."

[12:54]" Now is that when you to appear on what with the -- line that left -- movement. These guys haven't heard him -- sort of -- because people talk about being conservative you didn't good dough ball the middle you have to -- which truthfully he thought Thomas to reopen until for touchdown. And you went for a."

[13:12]" Are always tell about the fourth and 34 of them. What a while the sound of balls on the thirty yard line happily and so about a 47 yard field goal that really wasn't play at that point nine point games so. I think punting was the play either. You know how much he really can pick up on -- You know if you could just get three yards there and and what we did was -- gotten to the formation that we don't run -- That kind of off tackle play with you know Mankins -- you like so much and so we while we agree brand that exact play and and slopes graded out well there you. And -- correction it pretty good player on he came up and he hit well right at the line of scrimmage that. You know -- was able to get his head down kind of break that tackle and you know stumble for the first -- really more good run by -- than you know great plays you know wine opener tonight that he dismiss them. You know the good run and -- it will you know squirt through there for the first down but those kind of the idea -- the percentage isn't and kick in the ball. Either him or at that point or stronger than Bill Thomas -- Harvard you're watching that was I'm going to -- one of the best fit in and sacked Rivers -- that was different after the war you know look like -- kind of both on the Lasorda who has the ball berth despite both the woman that -- to a quiet -- shoulder. But neither one of which we're going to -- he could sense that he's yet I was an impressive group was thing. Like they kind of got messed up and -- correctional that would evidently in Washington on on Tom and that's. What they want to do. And and he kinda -- on the Internet proscribed. Not been a look at."

[14:47]" Described by people who where the game yesterday at the fuel and saying that at times they thought that Randy Moss were this interest that. And an aloof than in giving up one on route he seemed to be pretty feisty and what he said when the game was over did you sense any of this during the course of the game."

[15:04]" On I think that you know he it was pretty obvious what the game plan was right right from the start. And you know just we -- employees as we always do were he could you know get downfield little bit that they. You know he edit they've they've put rivas on -- I was that it doesn't Boren and put roads over the top album. You know most of the game and you know we -- few opportunities or got the ball -- underneath on the slant pattern crossing pattern and then. You know when they finally did play -- single coverage when they're trying to get the ball back into the game and then you know we ran right at street isn't. You know we can connect on the -- Everybody is frustrated for receiver where they you know when they know that they're being taken out of the game but the same time. You know that opens up some opportunities for somebody else certainly opened up things for Welker open -- and running game. Into the back you know Kevin Meehan and things like that. You know we try to take what kind of more with the defense -- and lob it down here roads. And you know let let and they placed on the DRL's."

[16:05]" Spokesman. May wrote a reference to me -- when -- took over the team no one. As compared to the team -- Mexico -- cheer him and always. How those two teams compare similar or different from the."

[16:20]" Well that's a tough -- has an article players but those teams that you know also. Now what time -- there we you know of course -- into and then and that would be Indianapolis lost -- Miami one on Corey. I don't know we're a little bit different dynamic it's there's so many differences. Ready Irish compare him to. Normalize you know I think our expectations that are. You know to prepare -- win every week -- you know not that -- mean you know. Our expectations their win every game but. At each game -- our expectations to win that game and that that's the way they were then. And I think that's the way they are now that was his take I want dammit -- and then you know it happens but. You know there are some bumps along the road that isn't quite a few as a matter fact. You know we'll see with the season brings me you know right now we're just focused on Miami deterrent if the three and one of the game vision and you know that's that's a big challenge -- right there are -- as -- as it comes. And then you know at the experts that compares."

[17:21]" That we'll -- all right all right Cabrera throughout. Your submit -- not. Question number five a little one what -- teammates -- it it was on the to explain trachoma. It was in my imagination was he trying to scriptures some of -- think that's -- it. Don't like people -- to other guys at least six or seven times when there -- few holding. Holding -- shirt -- all the top look -- I was comfortable positions it was. Did you hold more."

[17:49]" You know it it's. I mean -- we've got to play at all three positions in the NFL and and really I always thought his best position was as a -- and any senator you know command college in. And we kind of needed a senator when he was here so we played on center but then Chris in the shotgun situations you know with foot and guard them. So -- shotgun and you know it -- and tackle Detroit that the Jets -- he's -- play all -- positions -- the -- You know want to attack where they want to put him at tackle but. You know I was not really he was you know those positions probably Toronto masks and doesn't you know them move to stand picture on it would usually what you -- exactly -- a lot more -- The movement. Yeah my nerves. There's a lot of lot of things can happen out there tackle between planning a big guy like Ty Warren. Or planned against you know of the more athletic. Mike Vrabel -- columnists or. Somebody like that get a big you know big range there was more space to work in them."

[18:57]" Olympic did you -- It is able want to make is that with the problems oh if he. It. Well newest teams usually have reports that the question by intelligence who want to put those couple of this new go to -- absolutely delighted to -- to answer your IQ -- twelve minutes that definitely goes I'd be smart. About it while -- nine I don't know whether I would definitely happen out of I don't want the last one of the great nose tackle or. We're talking -- everybody. Asia prize -- guys on the news network for work with sort of a poison that council. Return -- early in almost seemed like after. He gets the few times there when that happens and you think things at that point could -- you know and rattle. That's what he's seen the show even more. -- that at that point you know that up but things happen there or could but what -- all. You start to gain more more confidence at that point you figure all. I was -- some real adversity out there seemed little together at that point."

[20:05]" Well I think that you know that that the toughest point of the game were the opening game you know with a crowd was into with a lot of momentum opening day. Lot of energy in the stadium meant we had two good guys start again and and then you know as we just talked about we stumbled around a little bit there at the end of the second quarter or third. And then. You know kind of bounced back from that the interception came and got the ball in the hands on their maintenance plan screen pass. And then they scored to make it 1610 and now everybody is getting back canceled once or in the get the ball back you know they got the lead and and you know ethics on the long drive there eat at the clock get three more points -- and -- point game. And that was that those you know beginning of the game and then. You know that the turnover and then the end of the game when you know they're they're trying to get back into you know those are really critical points out but he he -- a lot of."

[20:58]" I didn't notice anybody make you think he'll -- the post game. Coaches meeting if it appears on the Buick than it was really wore a week that we might have missed out there. Not a thing and -- it -- they announced story if there's nobody thought about this brush here crucial was brought from Russell. It is an amazing what -- makers that that you out you know I'm. Try try try to I'd like -- a lot of active code -- let's get to the that the Miami Dolphins new coach. Two and running the -- hold up an outfit that you remember now it looked at him and how much it hurt that. Much public exchange what are they doing. Differently obviously new quarterback what do they do."

[21:45]" Well it is an interesting Oakland defensively they're they're basically run in the the defense that the Cowboys ran last year that we solely meant -- switches the San Diego's defense. Wade Phillips brought from San Diego at Dallas and now. All that's on used in -- news runners in Miami and so it's kind of the San Diego Dallas. Now Miami I couldn't -- yesterday I noticed in their game. It would be in the 34 they would switch to the 43 they would about what with well I think that I think the switch back and forth had to do with. You know their zone at the end yeah yeah matchup answers on the receivers -- that. But their 34 team and and they offset the nose and they like bring outside linebackers like Merriman. And and you -- Purdue. -- get it in it's you know where in the same thing you know it to bring their outside linebacker on them you know man and recovery. You know and -- and now offensively. Dan Henning as the coordinator and they run the old Carolina often opens on old rule 38. And offensively talented and very well in 5 after Carolina New. Orleans so. Shift -- a lot of different scheme blocking in the running game. Like throw the ball down field and the formations play action comes off the running game. Outside -- plays. Close formations. On the flight. So kind of Manning's offense. You know Wade Phillips the fan that on by somebody else. And think that. They want to play they've really improved on off line or you know Jake Long it was mildly. Helps them you know -- now in the second year. Kerry's plan right tackle and you know at a real you know Toms is from Connecticut and was playing right guard and -- but he isn't very good pre season. They moved one tackles inside that. Under much better on the offensive line you know on -- give them a more physical tight and David -- so there. They do much better fundamentally. All of the ones that are in court Pennington. You know we don't know how to quarterback he has good decision maker's mark and and you know command game very well Ronnie Brown Ricky Williams. -- want to try to run the ball and and mix in some play action passes and you know go players' union and -- the ball outside. You know when when there are brought in to him through the Monica. Outside since known. Ball while they're here Ricky Williams a vote both the players and and Chapman. Yeah it it was here. -- 38 I can see him. It was here that want to implement the Pittsburgh and then -- my anyway. You know use of some third down back in and you know and and -- my form to. Coming new players they have an older and a major rebuilding program -- we three point four. -- puts him roster. That's a lot miss lots and and defensively you know it brought in Gaza Ferguson on the nose in. You know and overall it was a defensive tackle -- the enough outside linebacker. You know public it's -- actually you know and -- some of them. You know Channing Crowder playing very well form he's been very you know -- for -- guys are from Tennessee. And so. They've they've added you know an -- few players both sizable opponent kickers on the return as if from lines of there's a lot of new faces them -- movie they brought him guys round -- to yet companies and other they've brought a lot of young players but they also broadened some veteran guys guys that think -- known that. From Dallas and then you know -- is equally as well."

[25:52]" What type of -- team this surely is -- players is obviously have a virtual you know me going to have a lot of mess up water gap has no coordination laugh it's. It uses that system. So as it progressed they'll probably get better -- in a lot of film and look. Who have disorder created but once that team -- you bloggers who -- it will be different to -- who gave."

[26:13]" Well you know they played very well against Kansas City -- In the third pre season game and they they really handled that. They handled them. Pretty well while they're -- and and against the Jets you know days they have the ball placed on its own ten yard line. On down by six and and you know weren't able to score -- time so. You know had to convert anyone of those solutions that he's -- in the Jets and that was very competitive game right now on the list. The last couple plays and and I think there -- solid team sure there there -- improving and you know that probably have some bumps in the road a little bit. They're much better offensively. They run the ball better they're tougher that'll that'll make. Many mistakes that make your opponent. In on a Warner had a good day against him yesterday and I haven't seen that film yet but. You know I think they're much improved team from master of that."

[27:06]" Pretty good there's a moment so bills at a later on let's. Pretty -- up there there there. My coach -- go to of the clean energy action that count coaches question of the league drum roll please exit question comes from Eric -- Eric -- on or more on. There are more -- a familiar. Maybe -- Giants answered. Minute we will -- EI always bloke who grew up before. He would play against Reggie white ethnic. And I felt while credit -- started because that's right I was so scared and you've -- view him as probable I would assume that. I really album I definitely -- this question what of the distinguishing skills and responsibilities of the outside linebackers. Versus the inside linebackers I was going to ask the ask this question but I in the media center at adequate answer that -- what's more. But it looked him."

[28:00]" Well -- that -- the 34 defense and it doesn't really matter with -- and play 344 Maria I think that that the major difference in the ages. Playing on the line of scrimmage like outside linebacker. Plant all the line of scrimmage you know -- the five here it's off. And the -- and the line every blocking schemes. You don't work in different gaps when -- on the outside you'd be kind of know your responsibility is pretty well -- Here -- the outside guy iron that you the next outside guy and there's one guy outside the U. More pass rush and -- while in linebackers. And running game at the bills you know from pretty -- I'd gone silent news on the ball. And -- responsibilities. You know very quiet double play action passes and different passing combinations that they have to recognize and and match so. There there's quite a bit of difference between those two positions or line. A player that can play both inside and out and you know we've moved Vrabel. From outside in that we moved Thomas from out and we moved him inside and went back outside. But overall it's hard to find players that are that are adept at -- position you know usually. I don't want to work or the other. Refine it got a question rights of people that Rivera yeah it was ironic probably probably don't want guys could play either spot you know at at that level you know was. You know Taylor played on the line -- When we played him off line has kind of will linebacker you know he like on the goal line situations that. You know he's human and local problem."

[29:40]" Zoellick well you have to you have to deal with glory -- nose tackles jump ball it's okay topic although general idea of misleading the public but go to -- in Ireland and a brand than those right oh yeah not oh yeah today but that's okay. I don't outside linebackers ever."

[29:58]" Patriots bloody this year we talked to the coach he had a chance to submit your question -- as the coach of WPI dot com football page of your questions journalism. Automatically winning 100 dollar gift card the all new W right here Patriots placed. The coaches question is -- all season long by clean energy actions that. -- on the clean energy action that net you'll find that the strong wind. Into a lot more than bush than winning field goal and going to -- remember that for -- tackle your -- because -- BR yeah. As clean energy action that."

[30:29]" There's a real quick if you're Mike Shanahan missed yes there were you gone through -- While I think that. I think you go for to a situation like that is certainly worth considering celebrated with wing -- concern now gone and and if you don't. Now if you don't feel good about your defense then sometimes you you know you try to win it all France and you know we've been in this situation before and and you know where you're not numbness -- of their body heat and I think that's -- Michael standout. You know we've had situations at the end of the game where we -- You know make 11 down. You could and the game. Or you could run three plays kick it back to them and and try to hold them. And you know have been a number times in a situation where -- and you know -- an aggressive from all try to make that you know. -- size for an all -- but now on the bottom line is that if you know if you can make that one play and you don't have you know play -- How government anymore and and you know I understand strategy I don't know I think each in different the most important thing is you feel good about. If you feel like given that two point play them. You know that's one thing Iran I don't think he wanted to over that and like -- more -- more importantly they so what kind of there was -- based on whether -- your -- moving the -- you feel good about their your defense gave up three touchdowns in the last three possessions but the other -- you don't feel good about them right but I know I I understand that planet and I'm within their bonds and went. You know what players call that situation and and you know -- sometimes and you feel good about those plays trust me and then there's other times when you don't and same thing. You know on the goal line -- or sometimes he I feel 90% -- and we're going to pick up the fourth and one and there's other times and the Angels really good -- earlier. You know -- people moved it against them were kind of struggling in that area. You know went -- and do it and so you know I think how you feel about that success that play. You know probably has even more to do with it then actual strategy of -- the caller."

[32:31]" I do get a kick. Most impressed with -- that we are buying or Oakland thing that it -- I would not that was they hadn't got a problem. To. I'd you know -- preceding game. In Cleveland. -- for now in Austria divisions and Baltimore ended the Leos five minutes ago that was lastly. But yet aqueduct that would go over there were no we have 1177870. -- Attend practice now. I coach congratulations on the on the win yesterday in the markets and we'll see if there aren't in his life if he let me thank you."
