00:00somebody please fill me in that's a lot smarter than me i don't get the whole you know manifestation

00:07of uh mike vrabel doesn't like josh mcdaniels when he just makes a like throwaway comment to

00:15be like what do you want us to do run trick plays all game long right calling it cute is exactly

00:20what it was like that that wasn't a slight to josh mcdaniels in any capacity i don't get it i i took

00:27it as like a you know hey we can't run you know 13 yard trick plays all game long we got to be able

00:34to capitalize and make plays on a regular offensive type scheme and now it's oh vrabel

00:42criticizes josh or doesn't like whatever however they framed it may i ask a question yes when ken

00:50and i started with you and if somebody were to ask you in a public forum how it's been working

00:57with ken and curtis two people you didn't know and you immediately said well i love working with

01:02danielle and fitzy and wiggy and mike thomas and all these other people and you didn't directly

01:07answer about the two people you weren't perceived as hiring it would feel different and that's why

01:13people react that i would take you ask vrabel a question about the the special teams or something

01:19he doesn't tell you about the defensive back right but i would take it as like if you ask

01:23vrabel about one specific player he generally shines the light on every like we ask him about

01:29diggs he doesn't reply about you know no he says the why i think we asked him about that he says

01:33like the wide receiver room is doing a great job he's answered several direct questions about step

01:37diggs on prime football he specifically said he came to new england because of drake may right

01:41like he he has no problem talking about specific players no but i i i understand that but there have

01:46been plenty of times where he's been asked something and he's like josh has done a great job

01:50and so hasn't the rest of the coaching staff not to not to single one guy out at times but he's

01:56talked about josh doing a great job and josh has been really instrumental on drake may's development

02:02and growth and when it comes to sorry when it comes to step diggs he definitely talks directly

02:06about him but when we ask about drake may a lot he will start just talking about the offense same

02:11things about ramondre stevenson on the opposite side where if we asked a negative question about

02:15ramondre he then pointed to everybody else so he has been known to do that where he doesn't just

02:20if you ask about a specific person focus on that one person i agree steph diggs he does always focus
