As Brian Billick with coach O'Brien office recorded during the Patriots coach obviously heady time for congratulations -- on the appointment -- Penn State -- me you know -- obviously. Played against you guys seen it a number times thing that intrigues me the most certainly -- your base offense for your ability. It's almost every week it's a new deal I mean you really do craft and off let's talk about that mentality.

Yeah well -- it takes a Smart players instinctive player as talented guys obviously but. We do -- game plan offense so we put him in the game when every week based on what we're seeing Ian and these guys have not only. Bought into their individual roles that they've been instinctive and Smart enough to. Appealed to change it up every week changed their position Eminem formally come next the next week and things like that so. That's really been the key it's really have a lot about the players it would seem also that I'll Sony time particularly a long season it's a way to keep it fresh for the players -- not having depth. Every week going out casting this a million times it keeps their attention will you know better than anybody you know we're we're going in or under and twelfth practice tomorrow so. You know that you've got to try to relieve the monotony at some time and so we try to do it every week and those guys come in and they're studying their their game plan every week and we try to keep it fresh or.

I think people always talk about. Teams being great halftime adjusters and -- you know I don't know my experience was very time go to bathroom combatant what happened. To come back it really is more of during the course of the game rather an okay we got to see -- at halftime now come out with these genius calls the second half.

Yeah again you care you you can't wait till halftime you've got to be able to decipher what they're doing. You know after the second or third series of the game and then disseminate that information to the so the players and make sure that they understand how you wanna play the game so that that's right it's true and -- quick so you got to be ready before halftime. Which on bind here in a spot but -- an immediate now so I get to do that it's always tough but -- and you talk about hall of fame quarterback Tom -- What when someone asked about Tom Brady what's the first thing that comes to mind about his abilities. Great teammate. Very very Smart. As a as a great memory. Obviously talented one of the best mechanical quarterbacks you know obviously that's ever played the game and very prepared every week. You have to prepare ten times as a coach just to keep up with them so. He's he's he's had an exceptional year exceptional career. Hopefully we go out there on -- the thing that jumps out and last thing is that that whenever I visit the chance to does with the Peyton Manning you're. Or Tom Brady's thing that jumps out -- me is the football analyst it's amazing when you sit visit with the got the vote got coach I remember when you brought that corner blitz. On second -- I don't think him when I was eight years ago how it. The recall that they have won a football field -- happened to Tom Brady hasn't seen it I tell the greats. -- last year when we were getting rid of -- was Buffalo and you know he had remembered a play that he ran against Buffalo in 2002. Was a double move by receiver that they hit and felt like that was the same you know similar play that we could use and -- came in. Sure enough right hash home game going towards the White House. Look it up 2002 which is whatever eight or nine years ago and there's the place so. It's -- he's got a great memory and and he's a very very prepared guy and a great teammate.
