00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Here is Bill Belichick.
00:05 - Well, again, when you're this far into the season,
00:07 I don't think you'd see too many teams on a Thursday game,
00:12 revamp and run a whole new offense.
00:15 At this point, you've committed a lot of time
00:18 and reps to what you do,
00:20 and you've modified a little bit for the specific opponent,
00:23 but you pretty much are what you are
00:26 at this point in the season.
00:29 In terms of schematically,
00:30 I don't think you're gonna put in
00:32 20 or 30 new plays this week.
00:34 So, even if it was a full week.
00:36 So I just, I think you prepare for what you've seen.
00:40 We played this team last year,
00:41 so we have a little bit of a background,
00:43 at least with some of the personnel
00:44 and certainly the defensive scheme.
00:46 But look, there's always the unknown.
00:50 Something different could happen,
00:51 and if it does, then we'll have to be ready to adapt to it.
00:54 - Davis, I know he's talking about his,
00:55 he's talking about the Steelers there
00:57 in terms of with Pippen being out, Trubisky being in,
00:59 they're not gonna change much.
01:01 It goes for his team as well.
01:02 We haven't known who's playing quarterback
01:04 for them the last few weeks.
01:05 On a short week, we know it's gonna be Bailey Zappi again.
01:09 Like he says, you are who you are
01:11 at this point in the season.
01:13 What an exciting quarterback matchup, Davis.
01:15 - Yeah, I mean, honestly,
01:17 just so listening to Bill Belichick talk there,
01:19 I was sort of just ready to be like,
01:21 all right, well, we're gonna get Malik Cunningham, right?
01:23 And listening to Bill Belichick talk,
01:25 I'm like, well, we're actually way more likely
01:27 to get Malik Cunningham next week
01:30 if we are gonna see him at all,
01:31 because what Bill just said, short week,
01:34 you've only really got one full day of practice.
01:36 Their practice on Tuesday is just gonna kind of be
01:39 like a walkthrough, like an install.
01:41 They're not putting pads on or anything.
01:42 So if we do see Cunningham, I suppose it will be in week 15.
01:47 I mean, that is what I've been rooting for this entire year.
01:51 I just have really wanted to see him go.
01:53 They are home to the Chiefs next week.
01:56 So I don't know.
01:57 I mean, it could be, look, very famously, Carver,
02:01 the Pat White, Wildcat quarterback situation,
02:05 it was dreamed up on the airplane.
02:07 It was on the flight home.
02:08 They set it up.
02:09 They did it in a week.
02:10 They did do it in a week
02:12 and it was against the Patriots, right?
02:14 Way back in the day, the game,
02:16 they won the first Pat White game.
02:17 So, I mean, look, it's probably not gonna happen.
02:20 Honestly, at this stage,
02:21 it doesn't really behoove the Patriots to win these games.
02:25 And I don't know if you got this vibe,
02:27 but just listening to Belichick talk there,
02:28 I mean, that is a guy who's got no fight in him right now.
02:32 Not gonna say he's got no fight left.
02:33 I would never count Bill Belichick out for the long-term,
02:37 but for the next, what, five games the Patriots have,
02:40 this dude doesn't care.
02:41 He does not care.
02:42 - He doesn't.
02:43 We played a clip of him Monday after the Charger game
02:45 and I said, he's like begging for six weeks in the Caribbean.
02:49 Like, he just can't.
02:50 He needs to get as far away from football.
02:53 And we know he doesn't do that.
02:54 Bill's a guy who, you know,
02:55 he lives, breathes and sleeps it really all year.
02:58 I mean, the only time he probably doesn't touch football
03:00 is from like late May to training camp
03:03 after all the off-season program is over.
03:06 But I think he's gonna go somewhere else.
03:09 We've discussed this a lot too.
03:10 I think he needs those 15 or 16 wins
03:14 to be the all-time winningest coach,
03:16 regular season, end post season.
03:17 And he knows he ain't getting them there
03:20 over the next couple of years,
03:21 even if he drafts a big-time quarterback
03:24 with the second or third or first overall pick in this draft.
