142
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: Bill and Hello, welcome to New England.

143
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 8: Congratulations for sure watching that watching offense, man, you guys

144
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 8: were bombs away a lot of success downfield for your

145
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 8: game specifically, I'm wondering how would you describe your strengths

146
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 8: and your ability to have success in that downfield role,

147
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 8: especially with the quarterback like Drake May who loves to

148
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 8: throw those kinds of passes.

149
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 6: You know, my mind set is just be different. You know,

150
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 6: a lot of guys are putting in.

151
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: A lot of work, you know, so in order to

152
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: separate yourself, you got to find a way that you know,

153
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: you can be different within yourself. So, you know, challenging myself,

154
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: you know, finding my weaknesses, the things that I need

155
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: to work on to be able to excel my game,

156
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: and you know, separate myself from the best. So you know,

157
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: just continuously have that you know, high standard mindset of

158
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: you know, wanting to be better each and every day

159
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: and pushing the guys around me as well being a leader.

160
