1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: How much you put in the game plan in action already.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Are you're still doing some self correction and stuff or

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: is it a little balance? I mean balance, we're always

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: self correcting, um, you know, but definitely game planning. Um,

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,239
Speaker 1: you know, you have a two week period here. You

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: try to get get in as much as you can,

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: whether that's what the team are on your own time,

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: just watching film, trying to see those little details, um

9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: for when you go ahead and get out there in

10
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: the game you can execute. Oh they're excited, yeah, definitely excited. Um.

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: You know they knew. It was a dream of mine

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: ever since I was a little kid, you know, growing

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: up playing. Um, you know, to have this chance to

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: play in the Super Bowl. Um, you know, also a dream.

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm true for sure. I mean, um, you know, just

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: try and do my best. Uh. They'll go out there

17
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: and help this team get to win. Everybody involved those

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: three das when you're up there, Oh yeah, it's huge. Um,

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: you know, keeping guys away from Tom, just making sure

20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: you can get the ball off like he wants to.

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: And um, you know that's that's a key for us

22
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: every week is protecting Helm and you know something we

23
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: take Friday in as running backs and offensive line as well. Um,

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure too, so that's definitely a priority.

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: How much more work do you guys have to do?

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: Usually on the reason I asked, Usually on Friday you're done,

27
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: walk through Saturday game on Sunday. Not this time for

28
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: you guys halfway there with your preparation, not quite there

29
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: and mostly gone. How many day by day you know, um,

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, putting in new stuff and just try and

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: get right for the game. All right, Yeah, you said

32
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: it's always been a dream of yours to play in

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. How do you make sure that when

34
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: you get there, the moment doesn't get too big for you? Yeah?

35
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Just lock in, lock in focus, um, you know, like

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: you do in every other game. Um, you know, focus

37
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: on your sliment is blocking out the distraction and ignoring

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: the noise. It is a little bit different with the

39
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: longer breaks, the longer halftime break as well with the

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: with the big show. Have you heard any advice from

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: your teammates on how to handle that prepare for those situations?

42
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: Not yet, but there since you mentioned, I'll probably ask

43
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: him guys, So, um no, it's just something well, but

44
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: to take as it comes. And um, you know that's

45
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: we haven't a lot of guys in here have been

46
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: in this game, so they will know how to handle it. Um.

47
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: But it comes down to whenever out there in the field, UM,

48
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: just executing. Can you talk about Denny into a little

49
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: bit and just his ability to deliver in the clutch

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: all he's he's a great player. UM. You know, I've

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: told many people one of the toughest players I've ever

52
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: played with just his ability to catch in traffic, um,

53
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: as well as blocking for us in the wrong game

54
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: as well and making big plays like you said, when

55
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: we really need. Um. You know, he's just so consistent

56
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: and a very key part of this offense. What do

57
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: you they go all those extra media attention, it's probably

58
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: twenty times amounting for a normal week. Uh, it is

59
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: what it is. Um. You know, it's a big game

60
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: and so UM you kind of expect all that hype

61
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: and surrounding it, and it just comes with the territory

62
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: when you weren't since what was the image of this game,

63
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: the image of the Patriots that they were. God, yeah, man,

64
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: you always knew they're gonna be around, and you knew

65
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: what type of team they were. Um, that stucture since

66
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: I've been here. Just a competitive team, Um, some on

67
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: a team that's always locked in, focused and ready to compete.

68
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: So now that you're here, those expectations of what you

69
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: thought it was, are they more or what you thought?

70
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: I art? Oh no, they're they're right there. Um. You know,

71
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: I've I've seen day to day. Um, you know why

72
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: this team succeeds, and you know every single day guys

73
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: coming here locked in, focused, understanding that there's a game

74
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: plan that we need to take serious and if we're

75
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and execute on Sunday, we gotta, um,

76
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, prepare like we're gonna win throughout the week. Rex.

77
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: I know that this team has battled through a lot

78
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: of adversity this year, starting the season a little rocky,

79
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. But what did I say about

80
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: this team to be able to still be able to

81
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: make it to the super Bowl, but also battling adversity

82
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: prop the entire season. Yeah, it's huge, Um, just the

83
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: fighting character of this team. You know, I've said before,

84
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: we have guys on this team to understand when we

85
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: get in times of adversity that there's a way to

86
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: pull through the way to encourage each other to keep

87
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: moving forward, and that's what you have to do. Like

88
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: you said, we didn't have the best success early on

89
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: the season, but we learned from our mistakes and we

90
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: kept moving forward as a team and not really looking back.

91
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: We just kept looking to the next time. I think
