1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Hey, Josh Ariva, how you doing good? No complaints? Um, So,

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: I would say last year was a little different in

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: terms of you didn't really have this, You didn't have

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: the spring workouts and the OTAs and you know, you

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: kind of had the weird COVID off season coming in

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: as a rookie one. Just how does it feel to

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: sort of see what you know, this spring period is

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: all about and too Just how much do you feel like,

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: you know you have left to learn, you know, after

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, see a kind of a strange rookie season

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: considering all things, the things that happened, I mean, you know,

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: just being able to be around the guys more, you know,

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: having that first season under my belt and kind of

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: getting a field of you know, the guys in the

15
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: building and now going into this this off season, I've

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: been able to kind of build more relationships with a

17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: lot of the guys, you know, on on a different

18
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: level outside of the football field, which has just been great.

19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: You know, It's been able to make win and really

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: feel like home. You know, I have a bunch of

21
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: friends now, you know, you know, guys I could go

22
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: to about things outside of football. So I'd say that's

23
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: been you know, one of the best parts for me

24
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: personally this this offseason. And then to answer your second question,

25
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: I'd say, I mean there's so much more to learn.

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I was talking to Patrick Chunning

27
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: of the game. He said something that stuck with me,

28
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: which was learned til you die. You know, the moment

29
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: that you think that you know everything is a moment

30
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: that you've lost. So I'm just trying to learn every

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: day and just get better every day. Thank you. My

32
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: next question Andrew Callahan Falloway, Evan Lazarre, Hey, Josh has

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: the off season Betrithia. It's going great good. So at

34
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: the end of last season, one of the things that

35
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: that coach Belichick told us was he said he felt

36
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: he has a much better idea of how to use

37
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: you now with you know, you having played through your

38
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: rookie season. What's your sense or you're feeling about where

39
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: you're fit in this defense now that you've played in

40
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: it and obviously played a couple of different positions. I mean,

41
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I'm just a football player,

42
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, So wherever coach feels that, you know, I'll

43
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: be best at or wherever the team needs me to

44
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: be at. You know, it's my job to you know,

45
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: step up to the plate and fulfill that, you know,

46
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: So whatever it is special teams, punt punt return, you know,

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: my job is, you know, to fill my assignment you know,

48
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: for you know better lack of terms. So whatever they

49
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: need me to do, I'm doing this. Speaking of that

50
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: rookie season, having gone through that, is there any advice

51
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: or something you might have wanted to know where the

52
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: rookies now are where you were a year ago, something

53
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: you might be passing on them. Just keep grinding. I mean,

54
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna face adversity. Things are going aren't gonna go

55
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: exactly how you envision them in your head sometimes and

56
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: it's just all about, you know, survival of the fittest mentally,

57
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, because it's it's easy to get drained out

58
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: mentally and kind of start going through the motions, but

59
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: you gotta push through that. Thanks question every Lazar fall

60
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: like Bob so Hey Josh, along the same lines as

61
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: Andrew's first question. Just wondering if you kind of see

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: yourself working more or off the line of scrimmage or

63
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage during practice, or where you

64
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: kind of see most of your focus going in terms

65
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: of that being right now, I'm just focusing on fundamentals,

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, so getting the basic you know, footwork things down,

67
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, handwork stuff, lifting, you know, just getting the

68
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: foundation solid. So whatever they need me to do, I

69
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: can do it at love. And just a second question,

70
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: just what's your reaction Cam Ragrown from Michigan as well

71
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: getting drafted by the Patriots, And uh, what do you

72
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: know about Cam that you can tell us? And were

73
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: you happy to see another Michigan guy get selected by

74
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 1: the Paths. You're always happy for for the next man's success. So,

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, Cam being a teammate of mine at Michigan,

76
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's just great to see him fulfill one

77
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: of his dreams. And you know, as far as what

78
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: you guys can expect, I'm just going to let him

79
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: write his own story. So thanks Josh. Now, next question

80
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: Bob SoC He, followed by Mike Grease. Thanks Stacy, Hi, Josh,

81
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: how are you good? How you doing? I'm good. Before

82
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: you came back to Foxboro after last season, how did

83
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: you prepare yourself for this spring and getting back into

84
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: the facility. What were some of the things you took

85
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: away from your rookie year and immediately set out to

86
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: address um. Well, it was really just in my head,

87
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: I figured why be anywhere else other than here, you know,

88
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: so just kind of stayed here, built you know, relationships

89
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: with the guys and you know guy in my playbook, more,

90
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: explored the town more, and just kind of really trying

91
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: to make Boston home so I feel really comfortable, you know.

92
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: So that helped me out a lot, you know, especially

93
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: the training room, you know, working with my guy Jared, Mike,

94
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, Jim Way Lennon. Those guys really pushed me,

95
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: not just football wise, but mentally just thinking about different

96
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: things business wise, you know, stuff like that. You know,

97
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: it's just been great for me. And that's kind of

98
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: that was kind of the mindset and approach I took

99
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: into the offseason. And yeah, when you say building relationships

100
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: and kind of feeling at home, making yourself at home.

101
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: And did you feel like last year in a way

102
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: that it was such a strange experiment like everything else,

103
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: that it didn't feel like you were settled during the year,

104
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: that it wasn't home yet. I mean, does it feel

105
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: different in that sense? I mean, I believe twenty twenty

106
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: was a difficult year for all of us. I mean,

107
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: we're all adapting to you know, there's new virus that

108
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: we've never seen anything of that magnitude before, So it's

109
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable for everybody, you know. But football wise, I mean, yeah,

110
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: you know miss certain things, certain you know, aspects of

111
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: the game in terms of you know, preparation as a rookie.

112
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: You know, so you're kind of feeling your way out

113
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But you know, now I could

114
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: just really you know, get to know guys. It's aside

115
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: from football like kind of you know, just building relationships.

116
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Josh thinking our next question Mike reas Fall by Philip Perry. Hey, Josh,

117
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: how are you how you doing? I'm doing well. I

118
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: had a couple if that's okay. The first is a

119
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: hard hitting one, all right? How is fifty five fitting?

120
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: I love it? Man? I mean just the legacy that

121
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: comes behind it, you know, just everything that comes with

122
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: the number. Fifty five. You got, Junior, say you got

123
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: the obvious one to get inst I mean, it's just

124
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: a it's an honor to even be allowed to you know,

125
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: wear a number like that, and just honestly to have

126
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: kV back, you know, there was a no brainer to

127
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, give him the fifty three back considering how

128
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: much he's done, you know. So I'm just happy to

129
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: even have a jersey to wear on Sundays. Honestly, you know,

130
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: it's just still a dream for me. You know, I'm

131
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: living on my dream. So I'm just happy to even

132
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: be a part of the team. Sometimes when the Patriots

133
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: announced a trade, they'll say, like the terms are undisclosed,

134
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: Like they don't tell you what the trade you know

135
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: what it was for. Is that what's happening with you

136
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: and Kyle? Like undisclosed term? So or is there something

137
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: fun that you might be able to pass along with that?

138
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Red in my mind? You know right now, I feel

139
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: like Adam Seft, I'm gonna just keep this in my

140
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: pocket right now, you know. And I had a more

141
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: serious question, Um, your reference Patrick Chung, and I believe

142
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: the quote was learned till you die. Yeah, can you

143
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: explain the context of just sort of how you were

144
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: talking to Patrick, like is he around and how that

145
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: message was delivered to you? Well, Um, you know, I

146
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: was during the offseason, and like I said, you know,

147
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: I was here rehabbing. You know, what I had going

148
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: on and Patrick was around the time where he retired,

149
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: so you know, he was in the facility, you know,

150
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: during that whole you know, time frame. So I got,

151
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, the honor to actually talk to him briefly

152
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: and ask him some words of you know, advise, some

153
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: words wisdom. And that was one of the main things

154
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: he said was you got to continue to learn. You

155
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: don't know at all, you know, you should never go

156
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: and thinking you're you have all the answers, you know.

157
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: So that's where it came out as when you sit

158
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: and learn until you die, and that just kind of

159
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: stuck with me ever since. Next question Phil Perry, followed

160
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: by Doug Kide. Hey, Josh, how's it going, man? Going good?

161
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about the quarterback that your

162
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: team drafted a couple of weeks ago. I know what

163
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: you guys have been doing now is fairly limited, but

164
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: what have you seen of Mac Jones? If you met

165
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, what have you what have been your impressions

166
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: of him? I met Mac Jones back in the Citrus Bowl,

167
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, but I met him formally actually the other

168
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: day in the locker room, you know. He said, what's up?

169
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: You know, so I haven't really. You know, the rookies

170
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: are doing their own thing, so you know, I haven't

171
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: been able to sit there and you know, keep a

172
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: scope on them and you know, keep tallying what all

173
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: they're doing. But you know, I'm sure you know the

174
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: coaches are handling all that stuff, and you know, I'm

175
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: sure you know, whatever needs to be done, it's gonna

176
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: get done. So did you guys have an up close

177
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: and personal um meeting in that Citrus Bowl game? I

178
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: can't remember off the top of my head. Now, yeah,

179
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: we met a couple of times, but a couple of times,

180
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: you know, got a couple of pressures, you know. Unfortunately

181
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: didn't get a sack, you know he got he got

182
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: over on me with that one, but got a couple

183
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: of pressures on him. So that was fun. It was

184
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: cool to see him. And he was a tough kid man.

185
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: He was standing in that pocket, you know, like remember

186
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: a couple of times I hit im like I know,

187
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: he's not getting up. It was a gamin the next place.

188
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: So Aby is on our team, Thanks Joshu. Next Christian

189
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: jug Kaite, followed by Alan Seagull. Sorry Doug, you're muted.

190
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: Button didn't press correctly. All right, um, you said that

191
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: you were in the facility a couple of times this offseason.

192
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: How are you feeling physically and do you think that

193
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: you'd be ready for first spring practices. I feel great,

194
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, U Like I said, the training staff has

195
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: done a tremendous job, you know, helping me, you know,

196
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: come back from what I was going through. And I

197
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: feel great. And you said that rather than focusing on

198
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: one position, you've kind of been focusing on on fundamentals.

199
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: Is there enough carryover between you know, playing on the

200
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage playing off the line of scrimmage where

201
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: you can focus on fundamentals rather than on one specific position.

202
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean, fundamentals is just I mean you need fundamentals

203
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: for example, running, you know, running, strengthen and stuff, you know,

204
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: things like that that are going to translate to football

205
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: in general, whether it be on the line or off

206
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: the ball. So it's mainly things like that, you know,

207
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: just making sure that my body, you know, is up

208
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: to part with the tasks at hand. So you know,

209
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: all the guys, you know, we're all doing that. You know,

210
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: we're just going through our fundamental things. And you know,

211
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: I guess I just leave the schemes to put up

212
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: to the coaches. So just one last question from you.

213
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: Have you been in contact with with the Dante high

214
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: Tower at all this offseason? It's obviously, I mean we

215
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: uh obviously during meetings and stuff. You know, he's in there.

216
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean last year we would talk, you know, you

217
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: would text after games sometimes and stuff, and he'd give

218
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: me advice and stuff. So you know, it's just you know,

219
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: it's on and off and stuff like that, you know,

220
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: because guys are busy guys at families, you know, so

221
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: we're communicating when we can. I mean, thanks, Next question

222
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Allen Seago Fall by Brendan McNear. Thanks Stacy, Josh. Actually

223
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: Doug took my question away in terms of Dante High Tower.

224
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: Now that we know that you have some contact with him,

225
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: how excited are you to play with him this year,

226
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: to be on the same field practice and game and

227
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: be able to learn from him and the skills that

228
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: he has. I mean, you know, if we're being transparent,

229
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: I remember in the draft process, you know, a team

230
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: would ask me, you know, kind of how I wanted

231
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: to be used as a football player, and I just

232
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: remember watching Dante hot Tower all the time. In college,

233
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: and you know, I just think he's a you know,

234
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: phenomenal nominal football player. So I mean, just to even

235
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: share the Sarah locker rooms truly, and you know, God

236
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: within him, he said, the field together and that will

237
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: be you know another listens, and because of what you've

238
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: learned last year, do you expect the game to slow

239
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: down for you now as you approach year number two?

240
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we can only see once I get on

241
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: the field, right, you know, not a not a jenior psychic,

242
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really know too too much, but

243
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see once we get out there and

00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: and you know how helpful was he in you transitioning

250
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: up here to New England last summer, you know, just

251

00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: to whenever, you know, I have some free time. And

257
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: so so I haven't had to lean on, you know,

258
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: outside of family too much while being up here. Um,

259

260
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: definitely you know, we communicated every now and then, and

261
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,199

262
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: if I ever needed anything, I know I can call him.

263

Speaker 1: So it's great to have that resource. Appreciate it. Thank you.

264
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: Problem the last question about Josey, Hey, Josh me again,

265
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: I just wanted to follow up on the number of

266
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: questions that Mike Reaves asked you, and you talked about

267
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: what an honor it is. How much have you watched

268
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: off Willie mcguinnis and have you talked to Willie in

269
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: your time with the Patriots at all? Um, So in

270
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: terms of how much about Watson, kind of just been

271
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: going back watching the old Patriot Super Bowls and stuff

272
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: like that, Patriot games, some of the big games, and

273
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, just seeing guys like him obviously, like you know,

274
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: throughout those games and stuff. Just the way he dominated

275
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: the game and you know, the tenacity those guys played with.

276
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: It definitely gives you that old school vibe of football.

277
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: Um And in regards to have I talked to him,

278
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: I actually not in watching him. Is there anything you

279
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: take away? You can try to apply yourself to what

280
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: your role on the Patriots will be. You can always

281
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: be more aggressive, you know so just why like I said,

282
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: watching those guys like Rodney Harrison's and Seemore is just

283
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: how aggressive they are out Yeah, Like they're just gangster,

284
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, like to get up. They'll hit you on

285
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: the mouth, get up, talk a little smack to you,

286
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: come right back with it, you know. So definitely could

287
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: take those things away from their game you try to

288
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: implement it in tomorrow. Thanks josh On behalf of the
