1 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: We do this every year at the Boy. I get 2 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: to sit down with the quarterback a new hat. Do 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: you like it? Yeah? I do. I like the old 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: style trucker hat. I do. It rises to me a 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,479 Speaker 1: sea bass from something about Mary right now. You know what. 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: It's kind of a little knock on the NASA hat 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 1: that's pretty popular these days, NASA. I like it sells 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: pretty well. Yeah, hopefully that'll keep selling. Give me a 9 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: state of your team right now to buy. We do 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: this every year at the Boy. Yeah. Well, I think 11 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: you know, hasn't all been perfect, but eight and one 12 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's going to complain about that. Um. 13 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: I think our entire season is determined by what happens 14 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: from this point on. So you know, we've had our 15 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: ups and down. Certainly, our defense've been playing great, and 16 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: you know, offensively, I think hopefully we can get some 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: continuity and grow and learn and you know, become the 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: version that we'd all expect ourselves to become. So, UM, 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm excited for what's ahead. UM. You know, I think 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: every year it's a little different path. You never know 21 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: which way it's going to go. You have high expectations 22 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: every year. Certainly, here. We have very high expectations, but 23 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: we're ready to kind of attack the second half of 24 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: the year and see if we can put together our 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: best football. I think I know you pretty well, watch 26 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: your games, call your games. We talked about you all week. 27 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: Your team was eight no prior to the last game, 28 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: and there are times where you could not feel a 29 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: little resistance for you to be like, we're not We're 30 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: not where you want to be at. People on the 31 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: outside look at this, what is he crazy? It's undefeated. 32 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: But you mentioned expectations. Those are personal things you have 33 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: set for yourself right as far as how you want 34 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: to operate, how you want to be part of it. Yeah, 35 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's one thing I have had 36 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: some experience to know what uh you know, championship level 37 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: team looks like. Feels like we have other coaches who 38 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: have been around that long. I've been around for twenty years, 39 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: so you know, I think you're always trying to push 40 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: the urgency because you're not trying to compete for to 41 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: go eight and eight, right, You're trying to compete for, 42 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: you know, the highest accolades this team can can and achieve, 43 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: and that's become the best we can possibly be so 44 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: any when we're less than that, you know, I feel 45 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: it everyone that it's I think the responsibility the veteran 46 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: players distress that because there's a lot of guys who 47 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: are new to the team or and you're trying to 48 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: get them to understand what level it takes on a 49 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: weekly basis. Not it's just in practice, but in the 50 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: games as well. To continue to improve, continue to make 51 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: the stride you need to make, because you realize as 52 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: the season goes, it just gets tougher and you've got 53 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: to be able to improve. As you know, you go 54 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: deeper and you play better teams and the games mean more. 55 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: It's interesting you bring that up the new guys because 56 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: they weren't here last year. Look at the road games 57 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: that you guys lost, Look at the struggles you had, 58 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: the identity you didn't find until the end of the year, 59 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,119 Speaker 1: and that's a championship run you guys went on. Yeah, 60 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about. Yeah, it's it's I think 61 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: it's every year again, there's a lot of turnover. You 62 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: lose guys on offense, you lose guys on defense, you 63 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: deal with injuries, you deal with attrition that sets in 64 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: that's every team does it. It's really who deals with that. 65 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: The best is the team that has ultimately the best 66 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 1: out come. Speaking to Andrews, how you feeling, I'm doing great? 67 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: Feel good? Yeah, I feel really good. You know, as 68 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: good as you could feel this time of year. You know, 69 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: you get hit a little bit here and there, a 70 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: little bumps and bruises, but it's hard to keep me out. Yeah. 71 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: I love being in there with my guys, so I'm 72 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: gonna try to hang in there as long as I can. 73 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: Speaking of not being able to keep guys out of 74 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: the lineup, there's a guy who wars number eleven and 75 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: third and four. Everybody went on the road, stadium's rocking. 76 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: You know you're going to him. The defense knows are 77 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 1: going to him, everybody in the stadium knows you're going 78 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: to him, but yet nobody can stop him. How pressile 79 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: is he for you? One third down and what he's 80 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: been able to do? Yeah, he's had a great season. 81 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: Dealt certainly, he is a brand of football that I 82 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: think everyone back here, fans of our team appreciate. You know, 83 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: he's a hard nose grinder, He's got a chip on 84 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: his shoulder. Really an overachiever and that's how he plays. 85 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: And the nasty year, the worst of conditions, the dirt year, 86 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: it is the better he performs. And I rely on 87 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: him so much, and he's just had an incredible season 88 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: thus far. You've been here for twenty he was drafted 89 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: ten years ago. So if I go back to you 90 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: ten years ago, Tom Brady, you know, halfway through this 91 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: great run, Hey, Julian Edelman is going to be knocking 92 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: on the door of Jerry Rice postseason stats, one of 93 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: the greatest postseason receivers, greatest regular season receivers of all time. 94 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: What would you say about Edelman ten years ago? I 95 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: don't think anyone would have believed that, not because of 96 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: him the purse. He just hadn't shown it. He had 97 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: was a quarterback, you know, he grew up in the Barry, 98 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: went to College of Sam Mateo two minutes from my house, 99 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: ended up going to Kent State, drafting him as a 100 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: punt returner, and then he's just had an incredible career 101 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: and just finding him and watching him grow, watching him, 102 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: watching him revolve as a player, as a person, as 103 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: a leader. You know, I love my relationship with him, 104 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: so proud of him and you know, he's just been 105 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: an incredible teammate and player and friend. How good of 106 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: an example is he for the young guys in the room, 107 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: He's great, not you know, I mean really for the 108 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: whole team and new guy like Snoo and I will 109 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: get to Sanoo. Yeah, I think he's he's, you know, 110 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: everything you look for in a player, and I think 111 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: unique guys that are can really set the tone. And 112 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: I think with Julian, you know, it's his toughness, it's 113 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: his fighting for the extra is getting up on the 114 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: end zone against Cleveland a few weeks ago on two 115 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: scramble plays where he could go down at the one 116 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: and then mint. You know, you're not guaranteed you get 117 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: those ones in, but fights across the goal line, you know, 118 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: certain plays like that where it's a physical mental mentality 119 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: that allows you to you know, continue to overachieve. Speaking 120 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: of Sanoo, return a couple of punts where he actually 121 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: didn't return them, did a good job saying Peter, Peter, Yeah, 122 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: but a couple targets to him, and you can see 123 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: how he has gotten I don't want to say into 124 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: the offense for two weeks, but look pretty good this 125 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: past week. How do you can do, toy, He's done. 126 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: He's done a great job. I mean, anytime someone's forced 127 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: in in you know, a short period of time, it's 128 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: really hard to learn an entire offense that most guys 129 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: are starting in March and then installing and picking up 130 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: these things. And every team has nuances. I certainly have 131 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: a way that I like the receivers to play, So 132 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: it's hard to get someone up to speed and a 133 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: very short period of time. But he's done everything we 134 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: could expect and more. And you know, him having the 135 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: targets the other night, making the plays. Not only his 136 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: hands is run after catch, his toughness. We're definitely going 137 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: to have some fun working together here the second half 138 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: of the years. He gets more comfortable and confident what 139 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: we're doing, and we gain, you know, more of a 140 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: kind of a shared vision of how we see things. 141 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: You know, I think our chemistry is going to keep improving, 142 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: and I think your offense too. In the way you 143 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: expect guys to run routes, it's so precise here, and 144 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: I remember watching them in Atlanta where Okay, if there's 145 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: a zone, I'll just round into it. Yeah, yeah, and 146 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: it's it's it's hard for new guys and a guy 147 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: like you know, to kill Harry rookie receiver and you 148 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: miss reps and stuff your whole receiver room. What do 149 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: you make of your receiver room? And it's changed over 150 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: the course of not summer training, but you go back 151 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: to camp, you go back to where you are now 152 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: at to buy it's different bodies in there. Yeah, we've 153 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: had a lot of turnover, you know, at that position, 154 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: dating back to last year, the spring training camp. You're 155 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: used to that. It's just part of what it what 156 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: it is, and I think you've got to be able 157 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: to deal with those things. And it could happen a 158 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: lot of different ways, you know. I mean you could 159 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: everything would be great and then someone gets injured. And 160 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: when we deal with that every year too, So you know, 161 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: I think at this point, now you know, we've got 162 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: the group we got. I think guys are learning and 163 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: establishing their roles and we're going to try to go 164 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: make the most of those as as we move forward. 165 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: Of course,
