1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Where are you on your recovery and what do you

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: see for this team down the road? Yeah, for my recovery, UM,

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: just taking it one day at a time, obviously as

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: a competitor, doing everything I can, UM as much as

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: I can each day to make sure I'm progress in

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: the right direction. UM. And football team wise, I mean

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: I got kind of a backseat viewpoint UM this year.

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: It's just I think every guy has the same frustration.

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: We're all competitors, we all want to win, we want

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: to compete out there. UM. And I think for us

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: just looking ourselves in the mirror and figuring out what

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: we can do better across the board, UM, throughout the

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: off season, throughout training camp, throughout the season, to just

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: make make everyone around us better when we're out there

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: on the field. UM, I think kind of moving forward,

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: it's just when we get back on the fields, finding

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: those little things where kind of like se Kwan hit it.

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: It's just making those plays when they come to you. UM,

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: understanding scheme, executing when when we need to in crucial

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: moments than care for hey Blake. UM. A couple of things. UM.

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: You came here from obviously a winning program in Green Bay. UM,

22
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: it has not worked out here the way you thought

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: it would certainly win to losses. Do you have any regrets,

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: first of all about that about coming here and not winning. Uh? No,

25
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: not at all. UM. I think kind of going through

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: my decision in my process, UH, I knew this is

27
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: extremely young team, extremely talented team across the board, and

28
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: I think every team out there in the NFL has

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: that same kind of makeup UM talented, high potential. And

30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: like I said, the last question is just being able

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: to execute. There's a lot of moments UM. Kind of

32
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: obviously I didn't play hardly at all this year, but

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: I look back to last year there's a lot of

34
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: moments for us where we had a lot of games,

35
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: there was three point seven points, things like that, UM,

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: And I think it's it's right there. I think a

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: lot of people on the outside it looks a lot

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: further than it is. And I think for us, UM

39
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: that I've been in here every single day, putting the

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: work in meetings, practice, games, UM, everything we put in.

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: I know it's right there. And it's just having those

42
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: those crucial moments like I said, where we execute and

43
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: uh kind of get this thing going and get the

44
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: momentum back in our favor. If um, um, Joe Judge

45
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: does indeed come back for next year, I mean that's

46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: something you would welcome. You think maybe this team needed

47
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: to change. And you know, if not, what does he

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: bring to the table. And you're Mike No, I mean,

49
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: I love coach Judge. He's a he's a great leader, um,

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: extremely smart coach, kind of can coach literally everybody from

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: long snapper all the way to the quarterback position. Um.

52
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: And it's just one of those things you can't put

53
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: it on one guy on the team. You can't it

54
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: on one coach. Um. It tastes a collective unit, um.

55
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: And so it's one of those things we all gotta

56
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: kind of build each other up. And everyone's doing well,

57
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: everyone's happy, everyone's doing bad, everyone's not too not too happy.

58
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: And I think as him as the leader of the team,

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna take the ownership of that for the most part. Um.

60
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: But I've always thought he's an amazing coach and he's

61
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: allowed me to flourish that much more um since I've

62
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: been here, and especially last season. Well, respect like, do

63
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: you think your team can grow and win with Joe

64
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: Judge as your leader? Oh yeah, pent Um. I think

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: going through this year, UM, there's a lot of things

66
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: that kind of our outliers. Obviously a lot of injuries,

67
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: a lot of things that happened throughout the season. UM,

68
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: a lot of changes across the board. UM. But I

69
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: think in the grand scheme of it, the type of mentality,

70
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: the type of culture that he instills in us. UM,

71
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: every single guy comes to work every day, puts the

72
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: work in, does everything they need to do. And I

73
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: think it's just one of those things where you get

74
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: the ball rolling in the right direction, UM, things are

75
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: gonna start working in your favor. And I think when

76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: you start seeing the positive moments, the winning moments with

77
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: coach Judge, You're gonna see amazing things from this team.
