1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Uh, Tom Mutton, Jerry, how are you this morning? Good morning, guys. Morning. Uh.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Devin mccordy said you were walking around the the the

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: locker room showers, say we're pumped to be two and two.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: My guess is that was an important win based on

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: the way the last two weeks have gone for your team. Yesterday, Tom, Yeah,

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if if you're good one in three, you're

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: just you're fighting up till all year. And you know,

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: I still think we're fighting hard and we're gonna have

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: to fight to the end. But two and two people

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: a lot better than one in three, especially against the

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: division of one, so we would have had to make

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: up a lot of ground. And I don't know, Love

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: and I think all three phases much more. I like

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: there capable of plan and we just got to build

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: on that is, use this confidence and hopefully we can

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: push forward and understand things that we did a much

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: better job. Third dound right here. Uh, there're still some

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: things that we didn't do a great job, but just

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: a really good whole round in love. Hopefully this phone

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: uh find a better spot here. Uh we good. Curtis's

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: not sounding so good, Tom, But I was wondering when

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: I saw your post game Instagram, you look pretty happy.

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess from that that that last hit you

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: took when you threw that pick at the last play

25
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: you were in didn't hurt that much. It looked a

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: little painful from afar. Are you okay? I'm too good?

27
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: Um now, I'm totally good. So yeah, I mean, we

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: just wish I wouldn't be thro all right, let's tell Curt.

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: Let's hold on. Sorry, tell Tom Brady joining us here

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: on Kirk and Gallley on the phone. Obviously a little

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: tough to hear, so that can happen when you get

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: a cell phone spot like that. We'll have Tom call

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: us back. Tom Brady rejoins us and Tom Jerry was

34
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: asking about the Instagram video. You look pretty happy and

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: you feel pretty good, even taking that hit late in

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, I wish I wouldn't have done it,

37
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: but you know that was that was part of it.

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: But I'm feeling good. My body feels good, and I'll

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: be ready to go Thursday. It's part of playing quarterbacks,

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: standing in there and taking hits, and I wish they

41
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't kind of the end result wouldn't be an interception

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: but um, you know, we made a lot of good

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: plays and still a few things to clean up. But

44
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: like I said, it's just good to be two and two.

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: We we Some people laughed at you, Tom when you

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: said a couple of years ago, you know you know

47
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: how not to get hurt. Now you learned how to

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: not get hurt. I think the proof is there now.

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean you however you do it, you just don't

50
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: get hurt. Is it just simply a matter of being pliable,

51
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: being flexible in your mind? You know how to take hits. Also,

52
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, one hundred percent right. I man,

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: I feel like a broken record and I'm trying to

54
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, just go out and I talk about a lot,

55
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: but I try to prove it. And you know, just

56
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: standing there taking hits. So you've got to be able

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: to absorb the forces of of of the hits that

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: you take. And you know, if your body's not appliable,

59
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: it's just it's you know, it's it's never going to

60
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: be able to be resilient. And that's in a contact sport.

61
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean that really limits you. So as you get older,

62
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: I mean you just have to focus on it. It's

63
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: different when you're twenty three, twenty four to a degree,

64
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: you know your body's moren't actually appliable, and but it's

65
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, you did you get to be an aging athlete.

66
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: You got to focus on that and if you can,

67
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: it's it's great because you could put all the mental

68
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: experience together as well as the physical. And I'm certainly

69
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: not playing perfect and I want to play better, but

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: being out there every day and every week is so

71
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: important to me because that, you know, that's how you

72
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: make improvements out there and trying to figure out what

73
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: we do well and learning about all the things that

74
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: you know, we got to do as a team. I mean,

75
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: I got to be out there participating and playing, and

76
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's really important for me to

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: focus a lot of time and energy on those things.

78
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm with Alex last night at ten o'clock,

79
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, just getting our treatments in and non't sure

80
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent ready to go for my teammates,

81
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: and it means a lot to me to be out there.

82
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: And there's the only way to perform and learn and

83
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: improve us to be out there, and you know, it's

84
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: just it's a great routine. I know it's much harder

85
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: for him. But does Rob Gronkowski know how not to

86
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: get hurt? Now? I mean, was he with Alex into

87
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: the night last night? And do we expect to see

88
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: him Thursday? Um? I hope so. I'm you know, he's

89
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: he's Rob's a super tough guy and you know he's

90
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: he's been through a lot over the course of his

91
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: career and he's got, you know, a lot of mental toughness,

92
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: and I know, if there's any chance to him going,

93
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 1: he'll go. And uh, you know, hopefully he just feels

94
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: a lot better and he can go out there and

95
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: perform well. And and we're gonna need him. I mean,

96
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: I think when he's out there and um, you know,

97
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: Josh made an impact, Filmmate plays, Cordell made plays. You know,

98
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 1: Julian's going to be back. James White played great, Tony

99
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: played great. I mean, it's it's a lot of things

100
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: for the defense to stop. And I think that's the goal,

101
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: and that's what great offenses are about. It's not one guy,

102
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: it's not two guys, it's the whole unit. Wherever the

103
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: ball goes, it goes. And if you execute well, I

104
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: mean you couldn't really move the ball up and down

105
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: the field and get the ball in the end zone.

106
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: So yesterday was a much better example that than the

107
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: previous three weeks. You got him involved early Josh Gordon

108
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: first impressions of him as a teammate, Tom, Well, he's

109
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: he's been really working hard trying to get things right.

110
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't feel like I had to

111
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: worry about where he was lining up or what he

112
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: was running. He was super confident. I could tell in

113
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: his eyes he knew what he was doing. And you know,

114
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: he's he's just been been great since he came in.

115
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: So hopefully we can keep it going and build on

116
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: it and still a lot of things to learn and

117
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: prove on and like I said, when we really get

118
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: to know each other, you know, hopefully all the hard

119
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: work really pays off and we've become really a great offense.

120
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: And you know, we've got to put the work in,

121
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: and there's really no way to do it. And put

122
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: the work in and get the job done and do

123
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: it and talk about it and learn from it. And

124
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: it's not going to be perfect. Football is not a

125
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: game of perfect, but you got to do enough things

126
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: good to overcome anything, lets anything that you do poorly.

127
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: And Josh really did a great job yesterday along with

128
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: a lot of other guys, and defense played great, I mean,

129
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: really got them off the field on third down. I

130
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: felt like they were working hard for every yard. And

131
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: I know when we're on the other side of that,

132
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: when we're working hard for every yard, we're playing good

133
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: defense of our defense, you know, really played great yesterday

134
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: and got a couple of turnovers too. There was a

135
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: report before the game that you've gone out of your

136
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: way to establish relationship with Gordon since he got here.

137
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: Is that a fair characterization and is that something you've

138
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: made a priority on and off the field. Well, you know,

139
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: we get along well, and you know, I see sits

140
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: right next to me. So it's just a nice report

141
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: to have that. And you know, I try, I really

142
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: try to get along with everybody. I mean, I think

143
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: that's really important for you know, any teammate, you know,

144
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: whether you're on a practice squad or whether you get here,

145
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, however you get here after free agency or

146
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, we take Josh up in the trade two

147
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: weeks into the year, but you know now that he's

148
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: our teammate, we got to get to know each other

149
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: because you can build that trust in chemistry in different ways.

150
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: And you know, you see it with guys that I

151
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: played with for a long time. Um, you know, it's

152
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: just it builds and builds and builds, and what happens

153
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: is you you just you're able to make a lot

154
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: of good plays and you basically eliminate all the bad plays.

155
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean, bad things don't happen when I throw it

156
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: to Julian, Bad things don't happen when I throw it

157
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: to Bronk, you know, just because I know their body language,

158
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I know the types of plays

159
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: that they're capable of making. You try to make plays

160
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: throw the ball where they're able to make the plays.

161
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm not the defense, so you know, it's just it's

162
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: really a building process. And it's, uh, it's everything that

163
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 1: you're doing. You know, you're either building trust, you're gaining trust,

164
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: or you're losing trust. And you know it's just guys

165
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: that really are professional and they know what to do

166
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: and they show up and they're prepared. You know, you

167
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: build trust pretty quickly. And that's that's what it comes to.

168
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: Talk about that all the time, you god knows you've

169
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: been talking about it for years and can you develop

170
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: that trust with receivers. I think it was exemplified on

171
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: the touchdown to White when you got hit and you

172
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: just kind of threw to a spot, you lofted it

173
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: up there, and you just knew where White was gonna be.

174
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't gonna be one yard deeper and

175
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: one yard you know, he wasn't gonna stop, he was

176
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna keep going, and he ended up being a perfect

177
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: row and amazing played between you two guys. Yeah, that's

178
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: that's a great example because he's That's one thing about

179
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: James is he's so dependable and he's you know, he's

180
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: just so reliable consistent. I mean, when something comes up

181
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: and we're not on the same page, we talk about

182
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: it and then you basically can eliminate that for the

183
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: rest of our career. That will make this a similar

184
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: type of mistake. And he's just been such it had

185
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: such an impact on our team. I mean, I can't

186
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: say enough good things about James and what he brings

187
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: to our team. And he's just a spectacular player and

188
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: just a truly spectacular player. And when you have those guys,

189
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: it's just like the more of those guys you have

190
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: it on the field, you know, the better it's going

191
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: to be. And uh, you know, I just hopefully you

192
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,359
Speaker 1: can develop that rapport with everyone. But you know, relationships

193
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: take two people, and you know, James commits everything he

194
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: has to making those things work, and you know I

195
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: always try to do the same. And if you can

196
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: make that happen, man, it's it makes you can make

197
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: pretty spectacular plays. When you when you woke up this morning,

198
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: did you think first about one of the picks? Did

199
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: you think about that throw to one of the touchdowns?

200
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: Probably definitely the picks. You know, I just, um, I

201
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: just want to be perfect out there, you know, and

202
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: when I'm not, it's you know, that's probably what I

203
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: think about. And I think that's a good motivator for

204
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: me because I want to get back out there and

205
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: try to be perfect. That's that's what my goal is

206
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: every week. The first pick McCain pick, rich Gannon said,

207
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: he just fooled you. He couldn't believe he said, no,

208
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: never fools Brady, But he fooled them on that is

209
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: it that simple? You know? They I thought it was

210
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: a great play and I haven't seen that happen probably

211
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: in ten years really where they carried this team on

212
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: the inside and they basically trapped the incut. We had

213
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: a guy going vertical I think it was Hoggs and

214
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: the King was running with him, and then he get

215
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: his back turned to me, which I thought he was

216
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: just gonna go with Hogs and I let the ball

217
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: go and he turned around because he saw the incut

218
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: and you know, ends up being a good pick. So,

219
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not a lot of teams have done

220
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: that over the years. Our defense used to do that

221
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: quite a bit. And when I threw it, you know,

222
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: I just I give him credit. They made a good play.

223
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: So hopefully we learned from that and not let that

224
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: happen again. And you mentioned the second pick came on

225
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: that hit late in the fourth quarter. Rich Gannon expressed

226
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: some surprise you were still in the game at that point. Tom,

227
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: It's thirty eight nothing on the scoreboard, under ten minutes

228
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: to go. Are you surprised you're still in at that

229
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: point in the game, given the lead over the Dolphins. Now,

230
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm there to play and you know, honestly,

231
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: we haven't played that well the last couple of weeks,

232
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: so you know, we talked about playing sixty minute game,

233
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: not you know, fifty three minute game, and you know,

234
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 1: I want to be out there with the rest of

235
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: the guys trying to score. And you know, that was

236
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: just a kind of a crappy way to end the

237
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: day after a lot of good plays. You know, that

238
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: was not the one to go out on them, But

239
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: it is what it was, and I'm glad we won.

240
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: It was a really big win for us. We got

241
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: a really quick turnaround, and you know, we gotta hopefully

242
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: incorporate some you know, Jewels and see what he can

243
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: do and where he's at, and hopefully all the other

244
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: guys are feeling good and we're ready to go Thursday,

245
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: because it's a real big game. Place is Jewels sitting

246
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: in front of his locker in full uniform with the

247
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: I black on right now. I think he probably is.

248
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm heading down to the stadium now, but I know

249
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: he was itching to go and he wants to get

250
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: down there and you know, show everyone that he's ready

251
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: to go. He's he's in that James White mode where

252
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: he's just so dependable and consistent and tough, and he

253
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: hasn't been out there in a while. I mean the

254
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: acil last year was tough. Injury to most all season

255
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: and then to to miss these first four weeks, I

256
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: know he's itching to get back. I'm guessing he feels

257
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: like he owes you something. Man, he wasn't there for

258
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: you for the first four games. He's going to be.

259
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: Not that he wasn't always dedicated devoted, but I'm guessing

260
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: there's a little extra incentive heading into this week. I

261
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of incentive for him, you know,

262
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: and he's he's very much an underdog and has seen

263
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: himself like that for a long time and he plays

264
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: with a massive chip on his shoulder and I think

265
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: that's his play style. So Jeueles is tough, you know,

266
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's been everything that you're looking for

267
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: as a patriot, and you know, hopefully he brings that

268
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: attitude and his competitiveness, being really unselfish and you know,

269
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: doing all the dirty work, which Jules loves to do.

270
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: And I think all the guys appreciate that in a

271
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: player who's, you know, not the biggest guy, but it

272
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: has a big heart, makes the biggest plays at the

273
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: biggest times and anytime you can add someone like that.

274
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean, they can only it can only help you.

275
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: The only guy on the team was not sore as

276
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: hell from playing, you know, three days on Thursday. It

277
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: must always feel weird suiting up on Thursday. You just

278
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: the body's not ready to go, is it? I know,

279
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: because it's it is. It's very you know, it's just

280
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: once a year, and I think the benefit is if

281
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: you win, it's just a big benefit going forward. And

282
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think we won a lot of these

283
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: Thursday night games and we know how to prepare and

284
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: it's going to take good execution. But you know, I

285
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: don't mind Thursday night. I like going out there and playing.

286
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: And I know we don't get a lot of practice,

287
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: but I guess as a veteran player, you don't need

288
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: a lot of practice typically. You know, I played a

289
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: lot of games, had a lot of practice, so the

290
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: mental preparation is good for me on Thursday night. And

291
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, I know we haven't This is kind of

292
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: really a new scheme, new it's a new coach, new

293
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, and there's not too much film to study.

294
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: We can really go on what we've seen thus far.

295
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be fun. I mean, I love

296
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, I love being out there Thursday night in

297
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: the home crowd, and we got a lot to play for.

298
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we got, you know, our whole seasons ahead

299
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: of us four games in. I mean, it's nowhere near

300
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: where we're going to be at the end of the year.

301
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: And I'm excited for what we did yesterday and we

302
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: got it. Like again, just build on it and try

303
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: to go out and put together another great performance. Time

304
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: now for a quarterback question of the week. If you

305
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: throw three touchdowns on Thursday, Tom, you get to five hundred,

306
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: there's only two other quarterbacks who have done, have you, Lodge?

307
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: You don't to think about that milestone of what five

308
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: hundred touchdown passes would mean. I didn't know that. Yeah,

309
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know that, but I know the two guys

310
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: that ahead of me had done just incredible things. And

311
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,440

312
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: Peyton and I have great relationships with both those guys,

313
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: and I think we have a great fraternity of quarterbacks

314
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: in the league. It's I have so much respect for

315

317
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: watching them, learning from them, studying them, you know, trying

318
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: to be like them in certain ways. And you know,

319
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: it's like that with some younger players that I see.

320
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: But you know, it's playing quarterbacks, a great position. There's

321
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: a lot to learn, and you know, you never really

322
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,400

323
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:40,560

00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a great challenge every year. And I
