Bill Belichick on Patriots Monday

[2:48] ..." think week. You know took the player and and the and and Chad Jackson -- Jackson and his his skills or his skills and I think he has good skills. And but as it turned out."...

[9:55] ..." that kind of thing sure throw for that your into contact with Junior Seau -- when things you've been. Shoplift the period. In his twentieth I don't I talked -- junior and and I think on."...

[11:00] ..." he helps. Preparation coming. Because there were pretty close. Three years in Matt Cassel from what I can -- I don't know approaches used break it down."...

[17:41] ..." LaMont Jordan community you know McEvoy. The greatest books like he has lost much at all big strong kid you know at the holes"...

[0:00]" It's -- He'll -- it -- responded -- they throw. A nuclear. In what way -- would wait let me all the questions that use only -- with a slower you can repeat them to listen like points and spokesman would pick him Goetschl by. -- Well prepared me. These though there's -- was -- and there's also. But -- usually guys don't get the case or hear me for a qualification they put some vacation all -- forgotten or who's been -- victories and so we need the money. I was how was your final cut down weakened and north it was a tough time you final cuts would I would go for mr. pretty busy."

[0:44]" think -- probably. A little more action and in the past actually. You know -- I'm 53 cut down Turco -- on injured reserve as part of that and then. Really -- Jackson talents on Wednesday. Claimed couple players. Suppose he has from the Jets than. Mark or from the Rams and so. In the practice squad together and all that says -- like few more moving park then nine usual and and of course assigned Deltha O'Neal today in Nam. And these these spots that we've you know we've been we've been busy in the counseling it's probably not over yet there's pros though few more. While -- or adjustments or -- here. You know and next week or two certainly and Kevin comes back next week that'll be another one. On the -- we -- might make room for him to come back so there's there's been a few moving parts and non. But but all of us utterly distraught snagged it and can't that he but it it was it's going to. We -- a lot of you recall what -- actually -- acumen with great speed you know -- The room picked you train together and then we really missed the boat and he had big strong fast and this topic -- genetic a -- isn't good training camp did a good offseason program this year and on. Thinking imprudent and you know you know we also pre season games he made some good plays. A lot of competition at that position and on you know in the end I was -- there're. Of players ahead of them I think I have like you're really improve I think that he's going to continue to play in this league for somebody and the only good player we just couldn't and people don't you -- very --"

[2:23]" Womack press conference this morning I was there and YouTube that pretty much what does that now you think he's going to play in the NFL he's going to turn around and so forth but. You that's a great -- over the years with with did you guys miss something on him was with few mistake on your part or that he simply not live up to what it takes the mania though what what did he -- To not play after that Billy."

[2:44]" Well I don't think you know are really think that case all the I think week. You know took the player and and the and and Chad Jackson -- Jackson and his his skills or his skills and I think he has good skills. And but as it turned out. There are other players that were ahead of them or maybe he'll do better to different system. You know different pars than where the requirements are different or where the emphasis is different than that and all that I don't think it. You know anybody. If anybody miss the you know that it's our fault on him on his faulty work party did what he could do and we just. To didn't work out -- think that really you know think there's a lot of blamed the place want to sort of thing is it pops -- is it possible that this could be a wake up call him that a guy. With with so much star power and I don't think -- waking up the in the eighties he worked hearted that nobody worked any harder -- offseason. You know he. I was healthy coming out of the year and had a great start the offseason program and a lot of time of the coaches. Who's in great condition it worked hard on routes and techniques and and and got a lot of opportunities. And playing time especially at beginning of training camp when -- out. So. And again we we saw pre season games and and we on Nixon you know some good plays some good runs and it catches -- Well thank. Again most of blame on this and they get to than worked out and and anything out credit the other players who. Who have formal force over the last. Well you know -- camp but also -- on a -- last year."

[4:21]" When it comes down to your fourth or fifth receiver. How much of decision making process is special teams marches. As receiver play."

[4:30]" Well specialty is as big part of it and you know amaker tendon and -- revenge from the those guys are. You know at the -- team players. In the league you know salmon Buffalo and and I you know raised unproductive for us when he's at the opportunity and in great destructive pre season as well as a receiver and he also some versatility -- the -- You know it never really comparing apples to apples -- concern me you're trying to put together football team and that that's you know major compositional a lot of different things and you know each player has their own strengths and weaknesses they they can add to a news starting at the best answer but -- involved."

[5:08]" They brought some adjusting to judge Jackson is which had Jackson is it different scheme. In a different offense he might flourish because. Certain guys who brought Randy Moss run was walker and grossed out numerous replace. But this game other guys to play better but there's -- skew -- one more things we suited to his his balance."

[5:29]" Unsure how to cut up like puzzle you know he could get in on in little difference as the woman and -- you know get the ball in his hands more maybe quicker or whatever and and an opportunity to be productive there. You know is this Tibet but I don't. It's always -- players that are currently one that -- Harden and it really did everything yes it is and but that was the case a lot of players -- and that. Fortunately that and I felt very competitively till you were asked about bill John --"

[6:01]" Throwing the press conference is is there is there a scenario by which he could play this team again this season because the personally that was issued yesterday. A lack of better -- was rather cryptic about his future and then he's someone you can look at after we -- right."

[6:17]" This sure and in anybody that's available. If you know there's -- in between the club and player than that that -- possible. Raeburn prone to talk about him -- about -- do -- mean not every human NFL has an opportunity to take a guy. From defensive back to -- commit to a receiver commitment to a you know but to what whichever -- is unique as. To me to find. -- to make that experiment. Go forth you know I mean when you look at -- as anyone can do that and I was right about the place specialties but it wasn't going to have to change direction depicted that way. How many guys you see you when you look at -- For these candles to make them move for."

[6:59]" Well. You know certainly athletic -- says one thing but also be. You know to the -- flexibility to do different jobs and the adaptable and and the switch back and forth from often that he and special teams than. And it is going to change your mentality there's I don't know like guys don't don't do that very easily and you know one -- do had to convert stability and and that can be valuable free teen mothers from. Offense the defense or left tackle right tackle our sample will ecstasy whatever happens debate -- Some guys are just one more comfortable doing that McConnell like that the new position you know in the new assignments than and a not a -- are more comfortable just. You know being in their spot in doing their routine and and they're not comfortable you know and another spot so. Get this kind of depends on player but the versatility both mentally and physically is you know important having that in and I think really venture owns a good example of -- You know what the purpose of the practice squad is and how effective practice squad is. I don't think he would've not been able to make -- team had he not had the opportunity to be on the practice squad. And you know last year there were times when he helped us out receiver knows the front -- back. And ran routes for us and they're pretty good job with control covered on the and then we wanted to go to training camp this year and just put him on offense because -- played on the fence and and so he was able to kind of keep up the speed on the fastball actually. You know commit most of his time learning offence that pass patterns and receiver techniques that kind of thing and and you know they are spot on the roster so. Three that's really what the practice squad for -- and it's a great you know a great story for the practice squad -- without a lot of the players. Come through on that two of the affiliates that are you know Russell -- You know right now line and with an awful lot of them you know as opposed to other things like for example NFL Europe where. You know there's a lot -- development of players the weather is on you know on -- team's practice squad."

[8:55]" And it is a great story because of me -- written the Ravens front story but when you first approaches him. I have to was on that as a young kid practice squad -- around trying to make his way NFL make some money that he had to jump at this that there was no hesitation you know idea is that."

[9:10]" I'm sure you have read on this Thursday -- a little. Yeah I'll I'll think we've ever had. And senator we we evident to many players that. Well we've offered an opportunity on practice squad that they weren't I didn't take it because it. He kept him in the league and kept them alive and kept on the football course there's a disappointment that -- make final roster. But yet to be on the practice squad. Sooner or later most of those guys and a -- of the squad the regular roster anyway and along wander in seasons though not always but you know could percentages on so. You know keep somewhat keys in the game to drug -- or a starting job in pre season. Well I think draws a pile up football for a close out their for the first play of the game count panel what what. You know grouping ran with there and you know defendant that kind of thing sure throw for that your into contact with Junior Seau -- when things you've been. Shoplift the period. In his twentieth I don't I talked -- junior and and I think on. No I think junior is you know stay in his statement and you know is like he always does or an out there Aaron -- restaurant and and con since I joined San Diego went into enjoying life like he always does. You know right now are situations. What it is you know we've got down or 53 man roster or move on I don't know what's going to happen in the future. If -- the right situation was there. You know I might conflict -- I don't know what he would say you know at that point. But right now paralympic concern force major concern that the players we have and trying to. Trying to improve this team get ready go against."

[10:47]" Instant. Quarterbacks. -- gas into the evaluation that was a tough decision debate. I was into what what goes into it besides quarterback and me as it happened there was no -- solid team while he helps. Preparation coming. Because there were pretty close. Three years in Matt Cassel from what I can -- I don't know approaches used break it down."

[11:09]" Right well I think in terms of off the field intangibles and all that that that both players are are outstanding day they work hard there. They're smart they go along world everybody. Good relationship with -- teammate and and the quarterbacks and all that topic that was really a factor and in the end you have to. Again make that decision he feels duster football team long term and short term then and you know -- I don't Cassell. And if you're a bit of a map that included into a force. In he came in here is an undrafted free agent. Earned a spot on the roster for himself last year and I think he's got a lot of good football head into. We just felt like heaven and and not counsel were a little bit Adam at this point. As Kevin. -- long -- he thought it would look like a talented kid if you pick it up and made some nice passes last couple games but how are far as he advances ago it. Are quite a take on you know come along -- in spring since our spring camps and he's worked party and is better grasp of the offense and his mechanics have improved. You know college he was primarily shotgun quarterback and and you know going to catch throw -- back there were under -- bitten play action ball handling so forth so. You know mechanically it's a lot different to take the ball from senator drop by and throws as -- you know catcher in the gun. And non thrown -- there so he you know he's made a lot of mechanical adjustment and and it's actors he's improved he's you know good decision maker on the field. And again only an opportunity play a thought that he. He's able to move the team get audience and so you gotta be precedent some of those of good throws and rounds and well I was just manage in the game and -- right people or on the soldier quarterbacks what is Tom brings us. We'll -- practice stood up and down and thanks the world and so on. Who flew in and plays on Wednesday."

[13:01]" And I get rusty every game is played -- pre season normally put a little bit but. -- If there's going to have a big man is in practice and -- practice some thoughts practiced aren't training camp -- quite a bit actually so."

[13:16]" That's all buddy had a good day out there today and and."

[13:21]" Move practice in on Wednesday in the instantly can and go there aren't Brady's press conference this morning. He was asked a question that if you of the year apparently would've -- you rise because that's -- Tom answered the question was asked health wise what percentage would you that you were rat. Brady's response with I don't know coach -- percentages so usually don't give them. I of the yelled at more times for the comment Sunday solemnly off that one right that so he sees it too. I come -- with a very professional -- cigarette honest pleasure Beckett. I'll certainly not going to put a percentage on. Yeah. Who is on exactly -- was -- president of 126% today. This Buick you'll know how Tampa. It out of zero -- offensive line -- going into week one."

[14:11]" Logan better it -- get better thank that. -- we're still early in the week -- things got here Wednesday at -- can really. You know how like every Wednesday practice and and error -- their forays before Kaman. And Olympic level that are and then but now. And better guys that are you know come along hopefully you'll Morgan on Wednesday. -- Americans -- different backs now well -- cornerback. Real progress that he's you know and -- at those positions. Well -- you look at the two rookies well light Wheatley and you know I think that they've both you know work hard Jonathan will play next couple weeks there and first super teasing games but he bounced back and -- played the last couple on and we -- them and out there and and I think he's improving -- he's got a good -- that -- good coverage ability. On the present time. It's refined a few things that the -- Player -- You know -- A veteran. Epic its eyes of kids tackles well. You know make plays. But it was all in Ravens and the first week and then in honestly Cleveland Atlanta past his element experience and with O'Neal gives another experience there so -- You know go with that in and you know -- world. Julio was asked about O'Neal with the union radar screen while that he just sort of pop up and that we need to grab the veteran leadership and very and so forth. Well we don't know what that is going to do but it didn't surprise that the integrity and we Condon. We -- that was -- possibility right and so. After it was released Leo you know we contact and work out and -- You know he's here and little experience. Punt returner and we've we've in the back of his Jersey on that before. Those -- on interceptions. We are Brady's not that -- out there."

[16:13]" Forget about it but it minimum centers I was gonna ask what San Antonio is at right now. What. What would you be using him in the return game also is that the -- With the numbers today."

[16:27]" He does the -- at the end of that goal rule on. And I think I able to us how exactly that'll work out there -- other players. And when Kevin gets back you know -- analyst responsibilities. You know it's a -- certainly it. There's possibility that -- or combat there and then. The him make that decision based on to him you know -- that person but he's done past and that's. You know were aware of that -- that might -- with Kevin -- situation do you game plan leading up to game one the -- to him. Well on. It's a not a Nixon and the situations that he would normally be in their own and some are of situations that are down two minute things like that but. We got to our training camps for as everybody you know works in those different situations all our backs have done that and you know mom -- and and Lawrence course and he at all you know all done that so. -- roll or -- a combination their ago. To you know in his absence -- an unknown Kevin comes that next week then. You know we'll speculated that can be -- ago and and them -- era response to you know reactivate him from. There are suspended list that he's on right now."

[17:41]" LaMont Jordan community you know McEvoy. The greatest books like he has lost much at all big strong kid you know at the holes extremely assured us -- piles -- I mean he's a guy has skills similar bigger -- he touched the ball back -- It does a -- good football player I think you know he's committees run the ball power -- he says the for -- hasn't lost security -- east you know pushes forward and on breaks and tackles loses strength that it catches the ball well I spent dependable player for them. In the two games and exploiting opportunities instead of budget carries and he's you know he's done well and so. You know global economy I think if this is another you know the scope player in the oval -- During the pre season ago a lot of blitzing in the -- penetration and there was. But it is one way to shore that up I mean obviously this team what they do would you talk about what they always going to -- there were very coordinated and and when they have that certain blocking schemes that they use. Is that. You're part of the -- support we have too comfortable they're getting their helmets on helmets and they all of them they --"

[18:45]" Well we gotta do that we go to better. You know get a better job of you know -- a better job blocking -- and get a better job of -- net and thrown it and catch -- and you know get the ball out of their get it -- timing get into the right places so. You know passing games really. You know 1111 people involved than ever played it really is not to that I -- and of that that everything gotta be coordinated the spacing all -- so. You know we do better job coaching than we do -- execute that that. -- thing on the blitzes you know when when the defense on a lot of people it's really easier to walk column. If he -- block another words they don't have any space the Russian everybody's got a gap. And pretty much have to hit those gaps and he just blocked the guy in that gap then. You know -- time to throw the ball on and that's a lot tougher. A lot easier in some ways than it is when they're only rushing 45 guys when they can. You know go inside go outside you know -- more games and twists and stuff like that via the block. You know we've just got to do a better job of me you know stepping up get them square. And and give the quarterback a chance step up and throw in at same time the receivers guys do their part to. You know to get open and then and to be allocation at quarterback and hit them so. You're right we got hurt on that several times in pre season and several games and that's an area it -- just going to do better trouble."

[20:08]" Talk about stood extremes to Leicester you have -- the older line backing Cruz in the in the league in value -- Three rookies and even guys like there was -- still fairly young guys. These rookies what does besides me of course -- most jump on the front replacements Ross."

[20:25]" I thought they did a good job and and they were productive in the pre season games you know carried -- and gone back to the Baltimore game you know meant the plan a punt return were that you got on the -- would want to Europe blonde whatever Wallace showed speed and as -- productive in the games Crable an interception against Baltimore and and pressure on the quarterback and now I think he's you know good prospect and -- don't know -- three rookies in the secondary you know includes later -- You know six rookies on defenses there's a lot as you know offer a but. Feel like those players earned it they deserve to be here and based on the performance and pre season. An intentional. Youth movement defensively or with him. Something that just stood at all what -- well their performance Adam Warren and I mean I don't think we can keep players just because there. -- other -- than it got to -- out there on field an element and so. I think all six players dead and then that's why they are not not because of you know -- Kareem Brown master who's a fourth trumpet so it's -- start without that it's about performance and you know -- O'Connell and on the outside -- ball is you know seven guys and as you mentioned there -- a lot of these young players around like you know would -- and meriwether and you know guys like that but you know seven rookies to make our team. Come awful season I think that's hopefully that's -- about their performance open and what we think they can do laser treatment -- linebacker Billy Graham. Jersey I knew I was amazed at how -- yet you know he reminds me of Steve is. Biron -- Byron. Yeah who played for us at the at the Giants. You know five and half anyway skinny legs rolled the high -- long legged guy but he played with the surprising power and leverage. And -- little the same way he looks Paula Gainey and like everybody you get under a -- Those long arms and I like more you know Seymour and all the guys that you you don't realize how powerful he has. He really watch -- and even though he's all execs to those long arms and you'll -- kind of get that first punch in and and you know create the momentum going in his favor rather than in the nowhere around -- I."

[22:37]" And right now -- just on the NB. -- obviously yeah outside of row -- when you transition from the team a lot of veterans to a team a lot of rookies as the -- Hughes victory unique challenges the coaching staff after some is more man hours involved coaching young players. Then letting veteran players sort of find ways that a good read the situation going calling him."

[23:02]" You know I think there's some truth that's because you know rookies -- state -- really know anything that start from scratch as far as you know what thinks -- NFL and so forth but. He always have new players coming on your team we've we have plenty of them last year -- plan this year shall play him next year you know with the free agency or you know. During signings or drafts trip to a -- of there's always that element Connery. Re teaching your team and on guys heard before and affinity here again it -- here for the first time and you know yet -- that kinda explain it to them and understanding even if they played -- felt before why don't you."

[23:40]" Tony Russa and roosters often said that that -- enjoyed that part of spring training because that's the only time a year but he can really little different football because it's different team played their -- but. And -- in baseball. Spring training he gets that heat he -- did he get deported stuff that you may not get a chance hindrance to you get that similar excitement going into training camp at a baseball manager would."

[24:01]" Yeah absolutely the don't think it's very similar one week. Draft the players and we were bring the rookies and your -- and very fundamental level. No stance and hand plays and it footwork and in some of them are most basic things that it that it takes but it is -- to do -- and go back and work on those things and then. You know you get into the season in your work and with. You know Tom Brady and Randy Moss and Mike Vrabel and Rodney her and and guys that have played a lot of football that have been through a lot of schemes and a lot of all the tricks. And and fun to work with them too because you can do things with those players that are. You know that there're there're a lot of fondness as a coach you know put together often and in a pretty sophisticated. But their you know great players that can execute and understand it."

[25:08]" But it was fun down there in. When I was down their Jupiter with the Cardinals that that they actually in the morning it at a game the afternoon went over there in the morning with Tony. And they were put in their play with runners on first and third. And I have four plays four different plays out that if the guy on first tried to steal. That there was four different plays they can have so they they spent the whole morning going through those. I mean got to realize it was a much to you know -- throw a guy out second Horry you know you don't get the -- third if he breaks but. That a goal you know fake throws and cut off and -- in house up. It was that was pretty interesting I realize there was some what's the first and third did you pick it up okay. After that don't boot drop -- That it kind of fought through walk through in the you know just from Milwaukee and and they have the he's one of and have all the infielders and catchers and and and you know have like three or four different groups do Clinton and they you know. One guy goes and they they were on the different plays and all that he can actually it will get well -- going on time a pitcher batting eighth that's when I visited -- now -- a so we don't start the inning off was exactly -- want to."

[26:17]" And an out exactly done it yet it odds on now for Eric clean energy. Dot net coaches question of the week that's what we do that again I was -- only energy our dialect coaches question of the week in this week's question is that -- pretty good questions and -- O'Neal and they've asked some not a good question some players with a lot of skill can be detrimental to a team if they have a bad attitude -- are not quote unquote team oriented. You coaches taken several players that this type of history have been successful in changing their behavior. How do you prevent this kind of distraction protecting your team."

[26:51]" Not -- for questions."
