1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Devin, Congratulations in the win today. Look like you guys 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: a team up there, especially in the secondary with a 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: few picks to seal this win. Just overall your folts 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: and how you guys played on that side of the 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: ball today, I would say, just trying to get it going. 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: You know, that was the first for for everybody out there. 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: You know, with no preseason, there's a chance to just 8 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: get out there. And I thought we did some things 9 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: really well and like always first game of the year, 10 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: we have things we need to work on. But you know, 11 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: I think we said it all training camp. Just love 12 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: the way our group competes goes out there. Um, this 13 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: is a good group. We played today, you know, Williams 14 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: and Parker, then Jackie Graham, Jasecki, a lot of weapons. 15 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: We talked about it all week and we'll come down 16 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: to just every guy compete and so to see you know, 17 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: Steph come up with a pick and the AP and 18 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: then JC to end the game. Those are things we 19 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: have to do. Uh, there's just a grindout win, I 20 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: think from both sides of the ball, and I think 21 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: there's still things we could work on, compliment each other 22 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: with the long drives by offense, than us getting off 23 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: like those are still things we gotta work on, but 24 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: a good start to go out there and get away 25 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: and just quick follow up if I could. You know, 26 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: when the running game, you know, the last time we 27 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: show you guys back in January didn't work out to them, 28 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: that look like you guys had more success stopping to 29 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: run today. Where do you think helped in that regard? Oh? Yeah, 30 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: I mean we talked about it, you know, the way 31 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: you end the season. You know, coming into this new season, 32 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: we knew our last you know, the last game in Tennessee, 33 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: we knew there'd be some element of that, you know, 34 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: especially when guys like Jordan Howard who can just run 35 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: downhill and pound the ball. I thought guys came out 36 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: ready up front of just taking on that challenge. They 37 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: had a huge offensive line and just battling those guys 38 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: and just trying to make them one dimensional and take 39 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: away the running game. Um, that'll be something we gotta 40 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: do every week, and it won't be easy. We're gonna 41 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: play different kind of offenses, Like next week going to 42 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: Seattle will look a lot different than what we saw 43 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: this week with Miami. So we just gotta do what 44 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: we always do, prepare, study, build up confidence, we get 45 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: ready to go for next week on Sunday. Thanks. Next 46 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: question Eric Group Devin, I was wondering about the just 47 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: the the energy in the building and whack there all 48 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: just from from not having people here. Was Was it 49 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: kind of weird for you with some of those moments 50 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: where you expect the fans to be going nuts and 51 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: there was just you know, that dead silence. Yeah, I 52 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: mean it's it's definitely different, and I think, um, just 53 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: everything about it. Obviously there's no fans, but there's like 54 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: nothing playing in between. I'm sure you guys felt to 55 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: watch on like the TV timeouts with just a blank 56 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: video board. Just it was just like nothing the whole game. Um, 57 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: it kind of felt like back in high school where 58 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: you know, there's no jumble chin and you just you know, 59 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: I guess people would be talking during those breaks and 60 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: in the game, but it was definitely a different feel. Um, 61 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: you kind of got your own energy, and I think 62 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: it was very unique too. Just you could hear everything 63 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: going out there on the field. You can hear the 64 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: trash talking, you can hear communication. Um, it was definitely different. Um, 65 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: but I thought we adjusted. I think both teams had 66 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: to kind of get that feel of coming out and 67 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: saying what it was going to be like, um, and 68 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: then going out there and just trying to play football. 69 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: And you can feel the energy on you know, the 70 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: big plays and the teammates and everybody getting going. But 71 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: it's just definitely different without you know, the crowd noise 72 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: and having the fans in there just supporting us. And then, 73 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: just as a quick followed, does that not be focused 74 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: more with the silence, there's no other distractions. It's just 75 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: about the football. Uh No, I wouldn't say like as 76 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: far as focus. Um, the fans don't really disrupt that. 77 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: I think once you get out there on the football field, Um, 78 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: you don't really think about any of that, the noise 79 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: and stuff. It's just great energy in the stadium. I 80 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: think that's what you feel as a player when you 81 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: go out there and as fans are screaming, you just 82 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: feel like energy. Um. But it doesn't for me, It 83 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: hasn't made me lose focus when we do have fans, 84 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: and I don't feel like I have more of an 85 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: edge to lock in, you know, without the fans in there. 86 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: Next question zat Cox, founded by Levin read Hey, Devin, 87 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: it looked from from there at least you guys are 88 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: shouldering a lot of different players through that safety group today. 89 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: How do you feel like everything came together on the 90 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: back end for you guys, especially with some new guys 91 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: and then Adrian and Kyle I get in there. I 92 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is our communication was good, and 93 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: that's something we have talked about all training camp. You know, 94 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: you guys who have been around here for a few years, 95 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: that's something we really haven't had to worry about over 96 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: you know, the last calluge seven eight years, we've really 97 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: had the same guys back there as safety. Um, so 98 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: that was something I think we've locked in all throughout 99 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: training camp. We've had good moments and bad moments with that, 100 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: but it was a good start of getting off in 101 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: having everybody in there and understanding the communication and not 102 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: really giving up any easy plays where we just blow it. 103 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: So I think we have a really a group though 104 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: everybody does things well, whether you know it's myself, t Brooks, Ap, 105 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: Doug and even you know you throw Jawan and there 106 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: in the mix of a hybrid role, who's really you know, 107 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: I think really starting to understand things he's played well 108 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: throughout camp. M So I feel like we have a 109 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: really good group. Is up to us to just continue 110 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: to put the pressure on ourselves to communicating, to trying 111 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: to make our defense better with us being really the 112 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: signal callers in the back end. If I could just 113 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: fall up quickly, Joan, you mentioned is playing a bit 114 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: of a different role this year. What have you seen, 115 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: what kind I guess development have you seen from him 116 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: since when he came in here last year as a rookie? 117 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: Now do I wear it now? I would say, like 118 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: all rookies in your second year, you start to understand 119 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: the defense more, starting to understand what's what else is 120 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: going on around you, not just your specific role. And 121 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: I think he's done a good job. And I asks 122 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: a lot of questions to the older guys about how 123 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: to play things what we see um and I thought 124 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: he played really well today. You know, we tasked him 125 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: with a huge challenge of being out there on I 126 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: just a lot in the key passing situations, and I 127 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: think he showed up, you know, a great play on 128 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: one third down in the end the game being locked 129 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: in on him there. So he's a big, physical guy 130 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: who loves to compete. So we just got to help 131 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: him and everything that he does out there with playing 132 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: that new kind of hybrid role. It's up to the 133 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: veterans to make sure um as new things come at 134 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: us and we can help him out a little bit. 135 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: But I think he's done a great job so far. 136 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: Great thank you. Next question Levin read, followed by Nick Quite. 137 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: I don't think they've got a great game. I don't 138 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: think there's ever a point where you say you're gonna 139 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: be blacks or anything like that. But you guys, did 140 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: you guys see to yourself as the game st to 141 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: get closure, not to get let to get hot again, 142 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: because you've seen him in Week seventeen when he kind 143 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: of got out on you guys, do you guys pollajo 144 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: decide and say, hey, we've seen us before. We got 145 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: to stop him now. Yeah, we talked about just keeping 146 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: the pressure on him, and you know, you talked about 147 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: Week seventeen last year. But if you've been here for 148 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: some years, we've team fits in Buffalo in New York. 149 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: When he can, when he can get it going, you know, 150 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: he can really start dicing up. And like I said earlier, 151 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: they have some big time weapons over there, So no 152 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,119 Speaker 1: matter how the game was going, we just kept telling 153 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: ourselves what to kind of prepare for as situations started 154 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: to change, and how to go out there and attack them. UM. 155 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: So that was something we talked about a getting team 156 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: to try to apply pressure UM and not becoming relaxed 157 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: and not thinking that we're good UM. And I thought 158 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: that helped us a lot down the stretch and real quick, 159 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: how did it feel up the depensive defense there, come 160 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: away to free exceptions and again expensively win in the 161 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: end of Oh, it's huge. It's something we talk about 162 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: every year, year and year out. If we can take 163 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: the ball away, we'll help us get wins, um. And 164 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: today winning the turnover ratio israelly what led us to 165 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: this victory, and that's something we got to keep a 166 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: heightening awareness out each week of going out there and 167 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: just attacking the football. UM. It's never easy in this league, 168 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: but you got to catch the ones that come to you, 169 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: and you got to just apply to pressure whenever the 170 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: ball you know someone's carrying anything. We talked about that 171 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: as a defense and it was good to see us 172 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: be able to execute that today. Quick. An option to 173 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: let you guys know that Julian Edelman is beginning in 174 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: Michael Jeruvadi's WebEx room, and James White's beginning in there 175 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: and talking's room. Next question is Nick quite followed our 176 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: trade there? Hey, Devin, I just wanted to ask you 177 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: about pregame and did you as a group discuss what 178 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: you wanted to do during the anthems? And why did 179 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: you ultimately decide to line up on the goal line 180 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: for the first anthem and then to be able to 181 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: stop fin for the second. I said it during a 182 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: week the anthem wasn't a big deal to us. We 183 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: if you follow the Patriots, especially us as players, We've 184 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: done a ton of work off the field, and I 185 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: know things up happened in the league. I feel like 186 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: people are now catching up to what Kaepernick talked about 187 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: to Malcolm jenk has been doing a player's coalition, But 188 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: I feel like we've been doing that work, and UM, 189 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: we really didn't want to fall into trying to do 190 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: something to keep up with everyone else. We want to 191 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: continue to work we've been doing off the field, continue 192 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: to meet with grasp of organizations to make a change 193 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: UM and the community we're in and overall throughout the country. 194 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: So that's something we've talked about of locking in and 195 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: trying to get more people involved in what we've been doing. Um. 196 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: But for us, the anthem, you know, we just didn't 197 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: feel like anybody in our community would gain anything about 198 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: what we do with the anthem. It's all about the 199 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: work for us. Next question, trade dare given the kind 200 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: of performance you guys put together today, given you know, 201 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: all the changes you have to deal with the obvious, 202 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: and it seems like the culture just still stands out, 203 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: It's still there. Is there anything about you know, the 204 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: approach of the preparation that maybe was here, um, just 205 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: what we had to do. I think it was new 206 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: for every team in the league of call it the 207 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: virtual meetings in the spring, then coming in and starting 208 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: with virtual meetings again, but before we could get in 209 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: the building, and you know, all of the COVID stuff 210 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: we've had to deal with. I think everyone's dealt with that. 211 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: But I think the culture around here is always control 212 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: what you can control and all the other stuff. You know, 213 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: it is what it is, and I think that quickly 214 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: became what we talked about. No one complain about having 215 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: to get tested, no one complaining about wearing masks or 216 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: any of that. We just locked in on what we 217 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: can control, and that's going out there and training the 218 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: camp each day, trying to get better, trying to lock 219 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: in on what the coaches have for us. Like that's 220 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: what we discussed around here, and I'm sure every team 221 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: talked about that, and you know, I don't know what 222 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: every team did, but I would say for us, that's 223 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: what has helped us prepare to be out there for 224 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: Game one, and we just got to continue to do 225 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: those things as we go on a really tough challenge 226 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: next week to go into Seattle
