You know there's 70 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: a lot of talk all the time about that, but 71 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: you know it was. I just had a peace about 72 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: it and knees at mine and I started to be 73 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: here and ready for this journeyers. Yeah, I mean it's 74 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, it rotates. I mean, we're going with everybody, right, 75 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: We're not. It's not just we're going out over the ones. 76 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: I mean I'm going the whole period. Um, kid, rest 77 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: with everybody, different tight ends, different alignment so that we 78 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: all build trust because I mean we're gonna need everybody 79 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 1: once it comes Sunday. I mean someone's gonna go down eventually. Um, 80 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: someone's gonna step up eventually. So we're gonna be able 81 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: to trust everybody out there. Is there a stylistic difference 82 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: between the two for its six, that's a little short different. 83 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: Paul's gonna come out different. I'll let you guys debate 84 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: all that stuff.

I'm gonna roll back 87 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: for well with Western Relative to John, it's from free agency. 88 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: But when when he signed the Patriots continued to the prefensis, 89 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: who was there at all hesitant to He's like, okay, 90 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: what's my friend I'm gonna be how's it gonna fit together? 91 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: What did you kind of have a sense We talked 92 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: about it. Um. I definitely addressed the issue, but I mean, 93 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: this offense is built for tight ends, um, And obviously 94 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: they've had a lot of success um with two tight ends. 95 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: And you know, we're a completely different players and the 96 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: guys of the past. I mean those guys, Um, we're 97 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: great football players obviously, and they've done a tremendous legacy here. 98 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: So we're not trying to be those guys. We're gonna 99 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: be ourselves, um and just looking forward the challenge ahead. 100 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: But this offense has i mean tradition with two tight ends, 101 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: So I was excited about the opportunity. Which better How 102 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: much better might you get going up against this twofense? 103 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean today, Adrian was kind of a pain in 104 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: the butt to you, but I'm looking at it as 105 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: something that you've been you're that ultimately benefits from Oh, 106 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: it's it's the best I've been going against Ap for 107 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: a long time too, I mean, um, dating back to 108 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: the Charger days in camp two. Um, I mean, he's 109 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: a tremendous football player, super smart. So it's fun. It 110 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: was fun to see your familiar face when I came back, 111 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: and we'll we just continue those battles we've battled off spring, 112 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: We'll continue to battle throughout this summer and trying to camp. 113 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: So this whole defense as a whole, I mean, they 114 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: throw so many different looks at you, so many different 115 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: things you have to be ware of. So I just 116 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: every single day you have to kind of put your 117 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: thinking camp on and be ready to go. And there's 118 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: a lot of thinking out there. So that I mean, 119 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: you know, game day comes, it's probably gonna be pretty 120 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 1: a little bit more of a breeze is a challenging 121 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: when you have Mac and a camp. Different styles quarterback 122 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: is a challenge. You get started camps just trying to 123 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: figure out what you know how to deal with it. 124 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: You get thence different ways they pick the ball, Uh, 125 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: not so much. I mean the more reps we get 126 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: with each guy, I mean, it's you know, the time 127 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna come to so you know that chemistry only 128 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: builds with reps after reps after reps um. You know, 129 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: I've been through this a few times now with quarterbacks, 130 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: and you know that only comes with reps um and 131 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: just getting out there and competing with each other, kind 132 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: of getting a field for each other. UM. So they've 133 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: got to get a feel for me too, right, UM. 134 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: I mean I'm new here. UM, feel for how I 135 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: see things, how I run routes, um, and just also 136 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: mess that into what the offense is. So UM, that's 137 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: just gonna come with reps every single day and competing day. 138 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you know it.
