How are you? 3 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 3: I'm good. 4 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 4: Just you're kind of your read of of everybody today 5 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 4: coming in after obviously another difficult game. What was your 6 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 4: your sense about how engaged the guys were today and 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 4: it kind of their their mindset? 8 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think it goes without saying Chris that 9 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: everybody's disappointed with how yesterday's game went. But I do 10 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 2: still get the sense that guys are engaged. You know, 11 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 2: I think we are all challenging one another not to 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: take for granted the opportunity that lies ahead of us. 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: I mean, regardless of what the circumstances may be, regardless 14 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: of what outcomes may be, regardless of what the future holds, 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: the opportunity that we have presently is all we're guaranteed. 16 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: So I think, you know, we need to remain engaged, 17 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: We need to remain grateful, we need to attack the week, 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: and you know, remain for professional if nothing else. And 19 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 2: you you owe the game a lot as a player. 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 2: You've been very blessed as a player, and you should 21 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: never lose sight of that. 22 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 4: So how about Chad after after yesterday obviously his first 23 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 4: moment like that, and you know, in the NFL, These 24 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 4: things happen for those types of players. What do you 25 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 4: try to do to you know, to make sure that 26 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 4: he's right moving forward? 27 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, just you know, keep him uplifted, surround him, reiterate 28 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: to him how much we believe in him and how 29 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 2: much we support him. I shared with him today some 30 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: of my struggles as a rookie, which has been well 31 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 2: documented out there muffing the ball against Pittsburgh, and you know, 32 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: Cody Davis mentioned, you know, some of the things that 33 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: he struggled with. I mean that's a part of you know, 34 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: failure is a part of your career as a professional. 35 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: You're gonna have high moments and you're gonna have low 36 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: You hope to have more highs and lows, but the 37 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: most important thing is that you learned from it and grow 38 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: and try and improve. So, uh, you know, he knows 39 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: that we support him, Chad knows we love him, appreciate him, 40 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: and you know, hopefully this can be a moment for 41 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: him to learn and move forward. 42 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: Thank you mm hmm, And next question, Mike Grace. 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: Matthew, thank you for your time. As always, a couple 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: of things in the kicking game yesterday, I was hoping 45 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: to just go over. 46 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: I guess the first time you were close on that 47 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: play where the ball touched the vice guy, right, what 48 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: tell me take me back through that. What what you 49 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: know what you saw on that? How close were you? 50 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 51 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 2: You know, I had an opportunity to get some singles yesterday, 52 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: which is always fun. So you know, I thought, you know, 53 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 2: Bryce gave us a good ball to cover on that 54 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 2: and I felt Gunner running towards me, so I kind 55 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 2: of countered inside and next thing I know, the ball 56 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: hit McLoud on the feet and I think it hit 57 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: my foot and then we're just kind of scrambling for 58 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: the ball and unfortunately ricocheted towards the inside and I 59 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: was a little bit to the outside and he just 60 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: got on it before me. So, you know, it's frustrating 61 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: because you know, you only get so many of those 62 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: opportunities and you want to take advantage of it. It's 63 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: it's kind of feels like that's the way yesterday went. 64 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: And and honestly, that's kind of where the season is 65 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: going right, Like we've been close, We've had opportunities, just 66 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: haven't been able to capitalize. So you know, we'll we'll 67 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: continue to work to make those plays and when they 68 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: come up, you know, you hope the ball bounces in 69 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: your favor. Yesterday, unfortunately that one didn't. 70 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 3: And then Young Pop that play. I don't know, what 71 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: can you say on that one? 72 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: If anything? 73 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, look, I'll say this. I have a 74 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: lot of respect for Cam Brown. I think he's a 75 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: great player, and I don't think he's a dirty player. 76 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: I said this after the game yesterday, And I don't 77 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: think his intention. I don't think he had ill intent 78 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: with the play. I think, you know, you have to 79 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: be able to recognize though there there's a difference between 80 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 2: intent and outcome. And you know, I thought the outcome 81 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: of the play was not what we're looking for in 82 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: terms of safety and keeping our players healthy and and 83 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: things like that. So you know, we'll see what the 84 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: league says on it. You know, you hate to see 85 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: players like that. I hate to see anybody, but especially 86 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: one of our guys laid out like that on the 87 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: football fields. It's it's very unsettling, and you know, you're 88 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 2: very concerned. It's great to see Pop today moving around 89 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: even yesterday after the game, in good spirits, but you know, 90 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: it's a very unfortunate play, and you know, those are 91 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: the type of plays that we hope to to get 92 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: rid of. 93 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 3: Maybe just one more meth you on this more bigger picture, 94 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 3: but just as a leader on the team, you know, 95 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 3: the quarterback thing is something we've spent a lot of 96 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 3: time on in the media asking about you know, how 97 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 3: much is that lingering over you guys and asking it 98 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 3: from a leader perspective, and yeah, well. 99 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 2: I mean, look it's it's I understand you guys having 100 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: to do your job, and I understand the importance of 101 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: that position and having clarity on that energy report with 102 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: integrity and transparency. You know, I can't speak for all 103 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: the other guys For me, like I said last week, 104 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: I just try to put my head down and and 105 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: do my job and understand that this is the type 106 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: of year where there are a lot of moving parts 107 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 2: and a lot of things outside of everyone's control. But 108 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: you know, I hope our team is not spending a 109 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: lot of time and energy worried about that because I think, 110 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: to the man, we need to just worry about doing 111 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: on our own jobs better and focusing on that. I 112 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 2: understand how something like this can become a distraction if 113 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: we let it, so I think we need to do 114 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 2: a good job of just as leaders on the team, 115 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 2: helping the guys, including ourselves, focus on the things that 116 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: we can control, the things that are really going to 117 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: be impactful in terms of us having some sort of 118 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 2: success moving forward. And you know, whatever happens at the 119 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 2: quarterback position or any other position is solely up to 120 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: Coach Belichick and his staff. So but you know, we 121 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: support whoever's playing quarterback, and we support whoever's the backup quarterback. 122 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, there are teammates and we're gonna 123 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: always have their backs. 124 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: Thank you, Matthew, Yes, sir, all right, thank you very much, Matthew.
