With all speculations surrounding Bill 47 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: Belichick's job security, does that give you any extra motivation 48 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: to play hard for him and go out on a 49 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: high note. Yeah, I mean, like LG said, I don't 50 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: really feed into the whole speculation.

You know, it just so happens to be 53 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: the last game of the year or so. Uh, it's 54 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: kind of getting more attention, I guess, but you know, 55 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: we're preparing like we usually do and just getting ready 56 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 2: for the Jets. Really watching you the last few weeks 57 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 2: when things starting to break down, the ability to demonstrate 58 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 2: to get out of the pocket. 59 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: Getting your eyes down, and the many plays. 60 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 3: Was there a really good time for you when your 61 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: prepared to get a maintain plays and situations like that 62 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 3: and scanning down fielders. That's just something you've always thought. 63 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: Has been as as Yeah, I felt like I mean 64 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 2: going back to high school, that was something that I 65 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: always you know, I either did it a lot in 66 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: the off season or you know, I kind of just 67 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: just happened. Because a lot of it you don't just 68 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: sit back there and be like watching the rush, Okay. 69 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: This is what I'm gonna do. 70 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 2: A lot of it's improvising and a lot of it's 71 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: what you do before practice, after practice, like what we 72 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 2: do here with Evan. We get in before or after 73 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 2: practice of pocket presence and things like that. That just 74 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: carries over cause you want it to be second nature. 75 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: You don't wanna sit back there looking at the rush 76 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: cause he played defensive lines like the Jets this week. 77 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 1: I mean, they got some dudes coming after. 78 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 2: You see, if you spend too much time looking at them, 79 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: it's less time you're looking down the field, and that's 80 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: when mistakes happened. 81 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: So just you know, just continue to work on it. 82 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: You know you're never gonna be perfect at it, so 83 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: just continuing to get better as much as you can. 84 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: Think back to your career and house. It was the 85 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: steam and maybe had some snow if there was. 86 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think what is it saying like 87 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: six inches of snow right well, I don't know. I 88 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: think we had flurries, like I think it was like 89 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: snowflakes coming down. I think it was like at Western 90 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: it was like thirty five degrees, which is here is 91 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: like summer. Yeah, so I mean I'll be fine. 92 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah I was. I was just fine. 93 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: I think we played fau and they were Florida s 94 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: Florida teams, so they had like all kind of cold gear. 95 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: It's like, guys, is nothing you know, teachers were saying 96 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: yesterday that you know, this one is a the opportunity 97 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: of your last opportunity put something good on tape on film. 98 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: How important is it for you to go out there 99 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: and after game lead do. 100 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: Team vitory in the last right? Yeah, I mean it's 101 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: always important to win, you know, that's what you know. 102 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: It's as a quarterback, that's what you're based off of, 103 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: that's what you're judged off of. So for me personally, 104 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 2: of course that's the main goal is to go out 105 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: there and win. But you know, as a personal things 106 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: like you know, correcting some of the mistakes that I've 107 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: made over the last few weeks and kind of tying 108 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: it all together as the last game to kind of 109 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: show like, hey, you know, this guy's you know, he's 110 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: understanding it. 111 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: As experience goes by, he's getting it. 112 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 2: So that's something that you know throughout the practices next 113 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: two days and then go into the game that for me, 114 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 2: that's something that I kind of want to show. 115 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: And then of course win, I mean everybody loves winning. 116 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: Everybody's happy when you win, so it's gonna be tough. 117 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: Jets are great on defense, so we just got to 118 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: execute and you know, play Patriot football. 119 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: On the last year, so many things that have changed 120 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season. 121 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: How do you grade your performance and your progression from 122 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: let's say September. 123 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's come a long way.

Never gonna 125 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: be in a situation where I think that, you know, hey, 126 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: I'm done, I don't have to fix anything.
