Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never I've only been to Ireland in Europe

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, so I've never really been

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: to Europe. I've never really traveled, you know, far outside

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: of the country. So, you know, exxciting. It's a cool opportunity, Yeah,

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: someone who loves the game. Obviously, it grows the game.

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: It's great for the game and and you know through

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, the announcement and kind of seeing some of

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: the festivities and you know, fan clubs and stuff, and

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: then the connection with Sea Bass.

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: You know, you know, pretty cool to see, you know, the.

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: Game and how popular it is, and you know, obviously

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: it's big here at home, but you know how big

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: it is worldwide.

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: You heard from my still a little bit earlier about

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: in your compa. Yeah, you know, look at it.

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's definitely thinking about a k and you know,

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: we all have things that you know, happen, and you know,

20
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: sometimes getting in the football building and it's football football

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: and there's still life going on outside and things. So

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, look, I obviously I've known Billy Ates now

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: for three years and I've worked with him, and you know,

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: I think you know, he always does a great job,

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, so you know, it is what it is.

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 2: You have to deal with it.

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: You have to move on and keep moving and definitely

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers with Ak and but you knowink having

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: a good group group group of guys handling it maturely,

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, and just trying to move forward each week.

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: You guys talking at all about the jet lag this

32
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: weekend and how did deal with that just sort of.

33
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: I mean, but you know, it's really yeah, both teams

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: are dealing with it, right, so it's not like the

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: culture and you know, based out of Germany or anything.

36
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: So really, you know, there's not really one big advantage

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: there for either team. So you know, it's just part

38
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: of it. You know, obviously talked about, you know, things

39
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: you can do right like not we'll obviously practicing stuff Friday,

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: but like then not going right to your room and

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: passing out. You got to try to stay awake and

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: acclimate to that time schedule and things like that. So

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, there's some guys done

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: it on other teams that played you know in Europe,

45
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: but I think Slater is the only one that's you know,

46
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: from the Patriots. You know, I've never done it in

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: my career, so that means he's the only one left

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: to have done it going to you know, Europe. So

49
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think, like I said, I think, you know,

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: with both teams doing it, there's really no you know

51
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: advantage of the way it's you know, same week.

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: Whoever can make the most of it, like you sleep

53
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: on the plane and going over there.

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: I try, I always, you know, I try not to

55
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: connect the Wi Fi when we get on the road

56
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: and on the plane.

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: So maybe I shouldn't have said that. So my wife doesn't.

58
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: Know that, but uh, you know, it's chance you can't,

59
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't have Wi Fi, can There's

60
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: really nothing else to do except to try to sleep.

61
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: So that's what I try to do, you know, even

62
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: when we're going out west or even you know, some

63
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: of the longer Miami.

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: You know, Texas trips whatever it may be.

65
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you try to sleep, try to

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: get as much as you can Thursday night, you know,

67
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: and then really Friday and Saturday obviously you know, hopefully

68
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: get on that schedule and you know, get some rests.

69
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'll watch.

70
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: You know, this year I did I started the Band

71
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: of brother series again, and then I watched I'd never

72
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: watched the Pacific series on Netflix, so which was I

73
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: like history a lot in World War two history, So

74
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: the Pacific one was. You know, I've seen Band of

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: Brothers obviously a watch, but the Pacific one I'd never

76
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: seen before and it was pretty pretty interesting.

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: Could watch? Yeah, yeah, I guess so, I don't know.

78
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: I haven't committed to that yet. So connect between.

79
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Players and coaches, I think, Look, I think obviously everyone

80
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: when you're in this situation is looking at what they

81
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: can do better at all levels, you know, of the organization.

82
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: And I think you try to do that if you

83
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: were seven and two, right Like, it's a constant thing

84
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: of how can you get better?

85
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 2: How fast can you get better? Each week?

86
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: You know, because as the year goes on, you want

87
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: to be trying to play your best football no matter

88
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: what you are. So you know, I think, really, I

89
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: think everybody's just looking at what we can do better individually.

90
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: Then you kind of look.

91
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: At it what can we do better as a unit,

92
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: whether it O line, d line, secondary or whatever, and

93
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: then how can we put that all together do better

94
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: as an offense? And then how can we put that

95
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: and build it all together as a team. So I

96
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: think that's the biggest thing, and you have to do

97
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: that no matter what your record is.

98
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: If you mentioned your em his stated from happens trying

99
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: to be the relationship from how you and Matthew help

100
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: another happens having gone through the best of times.

101
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, well I would think, Yeah, I think

102
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: he's probably helped me a lot more than I've helped him, uh,

103
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: because he's very wise. But yeah, I think I definitely

104
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: think so. I think, you know, he's kind of an

105
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: honorary offensive lineman. He's always been you know, Uh, it's

106
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: in his blood. So I learned that very quickly when

107
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: I was a rookie and having to buy sandwiches that

108
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: I always bought one for Slater to on road games. So,

109
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think Matthew has been a lot to

110
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: me in my career, and you know, I think it's

111
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: someone that, you know, we see the things very similar.

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: We've been here a very long time, grew up in

113
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,119
Speaker 1: the system and a belief in how things should be done,

114
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: and you know, I've always appreciated his leadership on the field,

115
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: but more importantly, the man he is off the field.

116
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think we can sit up

117
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: here and talk about that all day. It's well documented

118
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: and it's well deserved.

119
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: David as a captain.

120
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: J C. Jackson's traveling to Germany with you guys, it's

121
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: going to report he was leading to.

122
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 2: A hotel for the weekend.

123
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: What message does that send to the locker room as

124
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: far as you see it. Look, you know, I'm not sure,

125
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: you know, I don't make those decisions or really know

126
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: much about it, but you know, I think the biggest

127
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: thing is being committed to being committed to the team,

128
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: you know, And I think that's always something I've tried

129
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: to preach and you know, live by the team comes first,

130
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: and you know sometimes it comes first, and and you know,

131
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: whether it be your family and things like that. You know,

132
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: I try to, you know, find that balance, but that's hard.

133
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: But you know, I think, you know, the team always

134
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: will come first, and I think that's the most important

135
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: thing in this game is the greatest team game.

136
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: So thanks, guys.
