1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Him, Matthew m just tying together the way that game 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: unfolded yesterday and then also including Max injury, How would 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: you sum up just the mood around the team right now? Disappointed? 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: You know, obviously we don't like the way that we 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: represented ourselves yesterday. And I think that goes without saying. 6 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: I think you know we didn't play enough winning football yesterday. Um, 7 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: you know there was some and that's why we were 8 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: in the game late. But it's certainly disappointed to go 9 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: out and play the way that we did, especially down 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: the stretch. And then you know, obviously, anytime one of 11 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: your teammates gets injured, you know you hurt for him, 12 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: and you know you hate to see that. You hate 13 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: to see anyone get hurt on the field. It's an 14 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: unfortunate part of the game. And I'm gonna pause just 15 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: a second. I'm gonna come in and try to adjust 16 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: that We're not centered, you know. Yeah, thanks, say sorry 17 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: about that. Next question, Bob Socie, thanks stay Matthew. Regarding Matthew, 18 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: if you had a chance to speak to him or 19 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: did you address your teammates after the game, Uh, you 20 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: know about the situation at all in terms of of 21 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: of what I guess in terms of just reaching out 22 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: to mac Um you know, you know the communication with 23 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: him today, And I guess in terms of the team. 24 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: You're someone addresses the team frequently as one of its 25 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: what was what would be your message to them? And 26 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: going forward this week? I mean in terms of you know, 27 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: guys getting injured and I think you know, Bob, for me, 28 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: it's always gonna we're gonna pray for that person's well being. 29 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: So I would encourag anyone who is a believer in 30 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: prayer to do so. And you know, I know he's 31 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: gonna do everything that he needs to do as well 32 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: as the other guys that were nick w yesterday to 33 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: make sure that they need to uh do everything in 34 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: Canada to get themselves back going. But you know, we're 35 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: praying for their well being. In terms of what I 36 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: said to the team, you know, you know I can't 37 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 1: disclose all of that, Yeah, Can I ask a quick 38 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: follow up on the play in the game that was 39 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: a pivotal play in terms of special teams, the duvern 40 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: A hunt return. Um. Looking at the video of it 41 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: after the fact, seeing your reaction on the field, Um 42 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: looked like you might have been he might have been 43 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: held on that play from from a certain perspective. I'm 44 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: not going to put you on the spot in question 45 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: the referees, the officials, but you know, something like that 46 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: happens and it springs to a big play. Um, what's 47 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: the learning, what's the lesson there? What's lesson for your guys? 48 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: What's the lesson for the for the unit going forward? 49 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: You know, we collectively have just do a better job. 50 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: You know, we knew what Devin was capable of going 51 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: into the game, and I understood how Chris wanted to 52 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: call the game. They're very heating in on what they 53 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: want to do and they have a good understanding of 54 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: the way they want to get him going. You know, 55 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: there were you know, there are a number of breakdowns 56 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: that happened on that play where we felt like, you know, 57 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: we could have avoided giving up forty three yards or 58 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: whatever it was. So you know that, Look, I've I've 59 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: been held plenty in this league where it hasn't been called, 60 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: and so that I'm certainly not going to use that 61 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: as an excuse. So that's just you know, that's part 62 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: of the game. Guys compete and playing on all right, 63 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: Thanks Matthew, appreciated. My next question Phil Perry, followed by 64 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: Chris Ryan. Hey, Matthew, if if you guys are forced 65 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: to go without mac Here for any period of time, 66 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: how do you think the team will respond to that 67 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: kind of hit? Obviously on the field, but he's a 68 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: captain now and he's one of the leaders of this 69 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: team as well. Well, you know, I hope we don't 70 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: have to find that out, but I do believe that 71 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: we'll respond the right way. I mean, look, we're very 72 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: early on in our season here, and if we don't 73 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: handle it the right way, this thing can spiral away 74 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: from us, needless to say. You know, you lose a 75 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: player at that position of that caliber. It is challenging. 76 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: But you know, we have confidence in all the quarterbacks 77 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: on our roster um. You know, obviously coach has him 78 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: on our roster for a reason. And I've been with 79 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: Axel for fourteen years now. I've known Axel for fourteen 80 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: years and been a teammate of his off and on 81 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: over that that period of time. We got a lot 82 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: of confidence in here in him. And you know, Bailey's 83 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: done a great job getting himself ready and continue to 84 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: be a pro. So you know, we'll see how it goes. 85 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: You can ask coach Belichick for all injury updates and 86 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: roster transactions, depth charts, etc. Are you the only one 87 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: who uses Brian Hoyer's actual first name? I'm big you 88 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: guys know. I'm big on the first names, big on 89 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: the first names. And I think a few of the 90 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: guys use the the Axle as well. That is, that 91 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: is his actual first name, as far as we know. 92 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: I've seen that on Pro Football Reference. I think I'm 93 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: not sure I've seen it elsewhere. Yes, it is his 94 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: actual first name, his government name. As we say, given, okay, gotcha, 95 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: thank you. It looks like two final questions, Chris Ryan 96 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: and Dakota Randall. Hey, Matt, there are you. I'm well Chris, 97 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: how are you good? Um? Sometimes after you go through film, 98 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: you'll have a different feeling than directly after the game 99 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: or during the game. And I'm curious, is this one 100 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: of those games or did what you see on film 101 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: kind of equate to the disappointment that you mentioned you 102 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: express just kind of initially, Um, after participating in the game, 103 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: probably feel worse after having just watched a couple of 104 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: hours ago. I mean, we just did so many things 105 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: to not give ourselves a chance to finish the game 106 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: the right way. There's so many, you know, non winning 107 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: football plays from everyone, so it's very disappointing. And if 108 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: you're a competitor, I mean, that's something that really sticks 109 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: with you. So let's hope we can use that as 110 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: motivation for the week and try to avoid a repeat 111 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: of that and Green Bay and just on injuries, what 112 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: generally do you find in your experience is the reaction 113 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: you know too injuries the week after or the first 114 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: week that you're without a significant player for teammates is 115 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: they're kind of a galact initially where everybody feels like 116 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: they have to do a little bit more. How generally 117 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: do you feel that teams respond to these types of situations? 118 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: You know, I think that's always varied. You know, every 119 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: team takes on a different identity and is different in 120 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: its own way. So I wouldn't say that there been 121 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: a consistent we handle injuries a certain way. I think 122 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: all fifteen teams that have been a part of have 123 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: been different, and you know, I hope that will really 124 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: together if if guys have to miss time, just like 125 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: we didn't know if we were playing one out some 126 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: significant players yesterday and guys had to step up and 127 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: be ready to go. So that's part of being a professional. 128 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: It's it's obviously all of our I think if you 129 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: ask anyone, it's our least favorite part of the games 130 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: is seeing guys get hurt and not being able to 131 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: go out there and play the games they love. So, 132 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: you know, we'll just take things day by day and 133 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: see how it goes this week. Thanks, no problem. Next 134 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: question to code Rangel, Hey, Matthew, it was down here 135 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: for you guys last season on special teams. Some talk 136 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: to Summer about getting back to the level you guys expect. 137 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: Through three games, how would your characterize other team's performance 138 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: on special teams so far? Yeah, I think it's certainly 139 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: been encouraging at times. We've gotten some good contributions from 140 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: a lot of guys, um some young guys that are 141 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: really doing some good things for us. And I think 142 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: now that it's consistency. It's all about consistency obviously. You know, 143 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: I only look at the negative things. That's just how 144 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: I'm wired, and you know, to give up that play 145 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: and critical moment yesterday was was very disappointing for us. 146 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: But you know, I think we have to continue to 147 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: trust our process, stay the course. You know, I'm really 148 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: excited about the group of players that we have, the 149 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: buy in that we have. You know, the physicality with 150 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: which we've been playing with has been really encouraging. The 151 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: urgency has been encouraging, and I think, you know, if 152 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: we stayed true to our process and true to ourselves, 153 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: that's going to really pay dividends for us. And long. 154 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: It's a long season, so you know they're gonna be 155 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: some good, some bad, and hopefully more good when when 156 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: the dust all settles. One quick follow up, Miles Bryant 157 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: obviously new to kind of return You know, I've muffed 158 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: upon the last couple of weeks did end up costing 159 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: the team. But any message you had for him, yeah, 160 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: I mean we stick by him. Look, I've been there 161 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: as a returner and muff balls fumbled balls, and I 162 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: think it's important for him to know that we have 163 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in him and he needs to 164 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: maintain his confidence in himself. And look, this is part 165 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: of it. There are some growing pains when you're doing 166 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: something in the NFL that you've never done before, and 167 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: you know, thankfully, like you said, it hasn't been too costly, 168 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: but you know, we need to continue to improve and 169 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, I hope he knows that all the guys 170 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: have his bag. Thank you. And Philip Perry king back 171 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: in lying here, so we'll actually, I'm sure the government 172 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: name is Philip Perry. We'll go back and make that 173 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: the last question. That's one L. Stacy, just if you're 174 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: keeping track there, one L. And Philip Matthew. You just 175 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: mentioned something I wanted to follow up on. You said 176 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: every team sort of forms its own identity. You know, 177 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: every team you've been on has had its own identity. 178 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: Through three games here, what can you say about this 179 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: team's identity? Well, yeah, you know, that's a great question, 180 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: and now I don't want to speak too much to it, 181 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: but I do like the fact that this group is 182 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: very together. I mean, you know, it's it's an early season, 183 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: but I feel like we've been through a lot and 184 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: there's a strong sense of togetherness with this group, and 185 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: I think that that's important for any football team that 186 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: aspires to have success, you have to have some together 187 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: and so I feel really good about that. Um, you know, 188 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: I think we played with a great deal of toughness 189 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: and We're doing some things well, but for us, it's 190 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: about consistency. And you know, if we can't figure out 191 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: how to be consistent and play winning football on a 192 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: consistent basis, all that other stuff is not going to matter. 193 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: So you know, that's what we're striving for and hopefully 194 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: that becomes a large part of who we are. Thanks Matthew, 195 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you guys, Thank you Matthew.
