00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: what do you see from Taekwon on Sunday getting on

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: the field for the first time and working through that

26
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: preseason injury. I saw him out there getting his feet

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: with you know, I got a chance to get hit

28
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: and get tackled in a real NFL game and uh,

29
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, and just you know, getting some of the

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: rust off of himself and being able to run around

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: a little bit out there on the field and you know,

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: see what it's like. So he got the experience what

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: a real NFL game was like just on Sunday. Thank you. Okay,

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: we'll go to U Kyrie, followed by Mike Reese, go ahead, yeah.

35
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: M Jacoby Meyers seems to just get better every single

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: year and has another big game of this past weekend.

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean, what allows him to just keep on taking

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: his game up another level? And what are you seeing

39
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: him maybe at this year that maybe he's been you know,

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: working on or wasn't working progress in years past. I

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: would say this is about Jacobe Meyer's his mentality allows

42
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: him to get better. You know, and he wants to

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: get better. In his mind, he's never good or not

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: good enough, so he's always working at his craft and

45
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: building it and trying to expand what he can do

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: and bring to this football team. And all those things

47
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: pay off of Jakobe Meyers. So you know, I think

48
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: he's he's built a pretty good career for himself, and

49
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: he's gotten better every single year. He came into this

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: league as a long shot as a free agent out

51
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: of NC State, and he's been able to stick around

52
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: as a guy that can do some of the dirty

53
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: work for us and and also go out there and

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: be a key piece to us on when it comes

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: to catching passes as well, especially on third downs. Appreciate it,

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: Thank you. Hey, we'll go without Mike Reeves fall by

57
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: Adam Lazard. Go ahead and Mike he throw it. What's happening,

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: ah Man? Just chilling? Yeah, I bet you're working hard

59
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: man always. I can see it. Um. Bill Belichick's got

60
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: a lot of wins, and you're a player for a

61
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: lot of them, You're on a staff for a lot

62
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: of them. What do you what would you say to

63
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: someone who asked you why does he have so many wins? Um,

64
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: I think just because I mean, obviously he's a great coach,

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: but I think it makes them a great coaches. This

66
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: his consistency and preaching what he believes every day, you know. Um,

67
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: And that's just I mean, that's it's a consistent message

68
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: everything every single day and every single year, that comes

69
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: from him. And you know, whether things look good, look bad,

70
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, whatever the noise is around us. Uh,

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: he's got his convictions and what he believes in, and

72
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: he sticks to it and we grind through it. And

73
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: and for me as a player, I know, for me

74
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: as a player, we stuck to it. And there were

75
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: times where we didn't believe in him. I believe what

76
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: was going on, whether you know, just you found it

77
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: hard to believe or whatever whatever you felt. Then you

78
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: just saw everything come through to fruition there and and

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: then you became a believe in yourself, you know. So

80
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: you just, uh, you know, you don't get that many

81
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: wins because you start something and stop something and whatever

82
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: it is, and you know, start believing in something else.

83
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: But you know, I just feel like in my opinion,

84
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: not putting word and not speaking for him anything like that,

85
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: but just talking from my experience and what I've seen

86
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: from him as a player, uh, you know, and as

87
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: a coach as well. Just uh, he's just been incredibly

88
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: consistent and everything he does, he sticks with his conviction

89
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: and his belief. Yeah right, Like that's what we're talking about.

90
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: What what stands out to you about his conviction and belief,

91
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: Like what what is it? What? What does that stand for?

92
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: You know, It's just a strength in my in my

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: opinion is that when things are shaky, I mean, may

94
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: not look great at a particular time or a point

95
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, but you know, he stands by it,

96
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, and then it turns out to be pretty good.

97
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: I just take you back to this one particular player

98
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: that I had in my career with him was just

99
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: the practice and that the block field goal, scoop and

100
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: score that we did for five years, you know, and

101
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: then we just we ran in one game and we

102
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: ran it flawlessly, you know, and it's just got it

103
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: got to the point as a player like you were like,

104
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: my god, how many times we're gonna practice this play

105
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: on Fridays? You know? So and again he's just he

106
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: stuck by it and he just believed that one day

107
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: would happened, and then we got an opportunity to call it.

108
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,559
Speaker 1: It was a much needed situation because I was playing

109
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: defense that game for the first time, so at least

110
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: all the points we could get, so and so we

111
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: called the bag. We called the play. You made it work,

112
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, flawlessly. So just just little things like that that. Uh.

113
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: I've been fond of of of his coaching style over

114
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: the years as a player and coach. Thank you, Troy. Yeah,

115
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: we'll take a final question from Devin Lazzar. Go ahead, Evan, Hey, Troy,

116
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: how's it going great? How are you? I'm doing well. Thanks.

117
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about working with Marcus Jones

118
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: on returns and just what you've seen from him behind

119
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: the scenes. Obviously didn't start out as your primary punt

120
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: returner and kick returner, Bud, he's gotten that job now

121
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: and how you've seen him grow into that just continuing

122
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: to work, you know, and you know Cam and Joe

123
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: the special team coaches, they continue to work with him

124
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: and being able to get back there and make better

125
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: decisions and feel the ball better and earn the trust

126
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: of the entire football team that he can go back

127
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: there and handle the ball. And make sure we have

128
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: the ball at the end of the kick, so that

129
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: is you know, and there where he's grown and I

130
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: think you said, gained the confidence of the head coach

131
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: and everybody around him that he can get back there

132
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: and you can trust him to do the drib will God.

133
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: Thank you Ali, guys, thank you, thank you tr
