Obviously, I know you 54 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 3: get a chance to practice with and be around guys 55 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 3: like Vederiaan and Ben Brown and Garrett Bradbury was questionable 56 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 3: leading up to the game. Uh, seemed like the operation 57 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 3: was pretty seamless last night. It must have been a 58 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: good week of practice. 59 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think those guys got a lot of ref 60 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 2: last year, you know, Blo, Ben Brown. You know, I 61 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: got full faith in those guys. I told them all week, 62 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: you know, just we had a lot of ref last 63 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: year and I trust them, and uh, you have full 64 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: faith in them. I think they showed out and just 65 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: showed the next man up mentality that we got Drake. 66 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: I wanted to give you a minute. I know it's 67 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: been my cleats, my cause across the NFL over the 68 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and I know you partnered with 69 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: Special Olympics. How did that partnership come about. Why did 70 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: you go down that road with the Special Olympics. 71 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, especially there has been a thing that's uh, you know, 72 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 2: I really cared about. I think it's it's it's really 73 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: special with athletes that don't get the spotlight, you know 74 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: that we do that we can shine light on you know, 75 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: inclusion and know that their you know, their flag football 76 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: games are awesome and we can support them and know 77 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: that just because they were facing you know, a challenge 78 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: in their life that you know, they still can't you 79 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: play the same game and have the same joy we have. 80 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: So it was awesome. The social port and uh, you know, 81 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: my pats my face and I think is a great cause, 82 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: especially mixing what they do. 83 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 3: One of your teammates on defense actually had two different 84 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 3: colored shoes, one of them was yellow, and every time 85 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: he ran around, I kept thinking that the refs were 86 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 3: throwing the flag back. There was kind of a little 87 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 3: confusing to watch on TV. Your deep ball to Kyle Williams, 88 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: where would you rank that one in terms of your 89 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 3: best throws in a Patriots uniform. 90 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: I'll probably answered one of the o best catches I've seen. 91 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: I think the Cats better in the throw. You know, 92 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: I probably made a tough run that it needed to be. 93 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 2: He beat them off the line, so uh, I think 94 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: the Cats better to throw there. 95 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: Speaking of the crowd, what'd you think of the the 96 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: MVP chants last night? 97 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the same thing every week, just trying 98 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: to get them some of the cheer for and you know, 99 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: I just just just try to worry about winning and 100 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: tell you home to get a time. 101 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 3: Do you happen to have, like in terms of pregame rituals, 102 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,119 Speaker 3: do you have like a favorite book that you read from. 103 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,679 Speaker 3: Is there like something you like to recite to yourself, 104 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 3: maybe a biblical passage that you get into so you 105 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 3: could get your focus and preparation for a game. 106 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: I think Chapel. I think going to Chapel, you know, 107 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: the night before the er, the morning of the night game. 108 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: Using our teammates, I think we got a strong group 109 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: that's you know, really states driven, and you know, I 110 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 2: think we always play in the locker room and and 111 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 2: do all those things. So you know, nothing specific. You 112 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: listen to, uh to Christian music on the laying on 113 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: home game, so if that counts. 114 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: Greg, did you see anything on the practice field this week. 115 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: That led you to believe that your your defense was 116 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: gonna come out sort of frothing at the mouth, and 117 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: with the physicality they did, they seemed like caged that 118 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 1: were ready to explode on the Giants. 119 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think, uh, I think it's just you know, 120 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: kind of mentality we want to brain. We're trying to 121 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: build an identity, and I think we're building it and 122 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: we're on the way towards, you know, bring it every week, 123 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: and they, uh, you know, deepens a prime example of 124 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 2: how we want to play and the physical football and 125 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: the brand of football we want to play.
