1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Good days of work, good day of work, no questions. Yeah,

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: um defensive coming back. There seems to be just a

3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: body type change between the linebackers and the guys who

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: a year. Does this really feel like today? You're starting

5
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: found guilty, create something, questions. It's a good first day.

6
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: I think when you put all the days together, you know,

7
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: guys between being and here, guys working out at their

8
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: own um coming back for the off season. I think

9
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: it's all about kind of foundation um bent hit that today,

10
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: about just building something. Uh, whether it's good or bad.

11
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: When you're out here day one, dates like you're put

12
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: your laying a foundation and it's up to us each

13
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: day to come out here and put into work. And

14
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: this time of the year is big to just get

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 1: the knowledge, learn the defense, get to know guys, get

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: to know who you're communicating with. UM. And this was

17
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: the beginning. So it felt good being out here. Uh.

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Some guys that you know are stepping into new roles.

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: Some guys I Ray Kwan, who didn't get a lot

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: of time out here last year, coming back. So just

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: continue to work together and get better. Yeah, you guys

22
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: know older guys, you get older, being able to continue

23
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: to play this game and have fun. It's been phenomenal.

24
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: Then obviously to stay here, you know, throughout my career,

25
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: going in the year thirteen, that's an honor to come here,

26
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: put on this jersey, play with these guys, and I

27
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: think now thirteenth year is about being a mentor helping

28
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: each one of these guys, getting to know these rookies,

29
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: trying to teach them all the things that guys taught me.

30
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: The Vince wolferst that Gerard Mayos, that Kevin Fox, all

31
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: those guys who taught me when I first came in.

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: That's what I think about coming back here is kind

33
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: of passing the Patriot tradition down to these younger guys

34
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: to try to continue that goal. Macro talk to us

35
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: about do you know why you might feel if you're

36
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: defense might feel a d I don't know. I leave

37
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: that up to the scouts and those guys who time

38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: forties and and do all of that stuff. I mean,

39
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's about getting a

40
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: job done on the football field, and uh, that's what

41
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: all the guys are out there doing. Whatever eleven guys

42
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: are on the field at one time, that's what it's about.

43
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: So no matter how fast you are, you gotta know

44
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: what you're doing. UM, And that's what we're trying to

45
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: put together. And I always leave who the people are

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: out on the field up to the scouting department and

47
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: those guys as yeah, it's been good so far. UM.

48
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: You know, obviously the kind of beginning, we don't have

49
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: a ton in UM, but we do have different adjustments.

50
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: And I always try to talk to guys over and

51
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: over and the meeting room so that when we come

52
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: out here on the field, I'm not throwing out terms

53
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: that are kind of like what the heck is that?

54
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Like I've never heard that before. So the more we

55
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: can throw out the possibilities of what we can be

56
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: in or out of UM, I think that always bowls well.

57
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: And just getting to know these guys, I think from

58
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: the personal side always helps the communication. Guys like Malcolm,

59
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: new guy, but you know, old face. So having him

60
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: back here has been great. UM. We just gotta keep

61
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: building like keeping like like like like where he is. Yeah.

62
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: I've always tell people when I'm outside of here and

63
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: people ask me, you know, like what's Bill, Like how

64
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: it's Bill to me? He's the He's the model of consistency. UM.

65
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: I think that's what we all try to do as people,

66
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: like showing up to your job every day and having

67
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: the same attitude, kind of the same message in UM

68
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: and being able to do that over and over again.

69
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: It's hard. I think we all know that, UM. But

70
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: like he continues to come in here day one of

71
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: OTAs for how many other years it is forty seven,

72
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: forty eight years, UM, And it's the same intensity, it's

73
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: the same message as fundamentals, as doing the right things,

74
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: the small things, over and over again. I'm gon he

75
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: never slips up on that. And you know, obviously, just

76
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: being my thirteenth year, I've seen that over and over again,

77
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: and UM, it's hard to replicate. But you know, I

78
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: think again, an opportunity as a player to play for

79
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: him and see that day in and day out has

80
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: made me a better player. And I think these guys

81
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: will see soon the more you're in it, the more

82
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: you listen how to make you a better player too,

83
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: especially for your wife. No, I think I mean for

84
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. You know, I think family things,

85
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: there's always different things. Like for me, I'm I'm in

86
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: and out in the offseason. I got a lot of

87
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: kids at home and a wife. So, um, I think

88
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: guys a all trying to do the best thing to

89
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: be ready for the season next year. And whether you're here,

90
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: whether you're not here, I think the true belief is

91
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: that everybody's working to be the best version of themselves.

92
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: And um, you're gonna see guys rolling through here and

93
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: coming when they when they can come, and trying to

94
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: fit their schedules. But um, I've never doubted you know,

95
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: guys that you know are here. I know, back in

96
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: the past, like when Tom wasn't here, people would try

97
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: to create this huge story and he'd come back from

98
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: mini camp and looked like he was twenty five all

99
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: over again. So I think it's all about the individuals

100
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: putting into work and believing that as individuals we put

101
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: into work, as a team will have our best chance

102
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: to win next year. And um, I know that's what

103
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: guys gonna be doing and excited just to kind of

104
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: get twenty twenty two going and trying to just see

105
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: if we can even replicate what we did last year

106
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: and then take it up a notch, appreciate it
